Remnant 2 Kill The Doe Novels & Stories

I ignored the pain in my entire body as I rushed forward. In an instant, the strong wind from upstairs and the air from the air conditioning blew Mom's ashes away. All that was left was a few bone fragments, drifting across the floor with the wind. "Oh, I'm sorry, Maddie! I'm just worried about Harv's lungs. That's why I opened the window. I didn't realize that Mrs. Lundell would—" Nelly walked over, looking innocent as she stepped over Mom's bone fragments. Blinded by rage, I lunged forward and grabbed her by the neck. "I'll kill you!" I strangled her, wanting to die with her.

We moved cautiously through the trees, following the distressed sounds until we reached a small clearing behind the dense thicket where we’d seen the pair of eyes. What awaited us wasn’t a mutated werewolf at all, but a doe lying in a pool of blood, her body contorted as she struggled to give birth. “Poor thing,” I gasped, holstering my blade immediately. The doe’s eyes rolled wildly when she spotted us, but she was too weak to flee. Her flanks heaved violently as contractions ripped through her body, yet the fawn remained trapped. Dominic stepped forward without hesitation, kneeling beside the suffering animal. Blood and amniotic fluid soaked into his pants as he knelt on the fallen leaves.

I attacked. A single fluid motion of limbs and claws . The poor deer didn’t stand a chance. One clean strike and it went down hard. “Hmm,” Asher muttered as he stood against a tree. Raymond happily walked up to me with a big grin on his face, “Nice kill... Very primal. Very clean.” I just stood over the dead deer, my chest heaving while my claws dripped with blood. And just as I was about to back away, something caught my attention... A shadow.

“That’s a crawler. Those things are lethal.” The men closed in on the creature, trapping it with a metal basin. Rem slid his sword under its body and chopped it cleanly in half before kicking the pieces toward the basin. He then turned to me; his face was pale with anger, though it wasn’t directed at me, it still made me flinch. “This wasn’t an accident,” Rem said, shaking his head and trying to calm himself down. “No,” I whispered. “Someone put it there. There’s no way that I just stumbled into these chambers.”

The arrow still protruded from its side. Cheyenne’s amber eyes widened. “You… brought that back?” Tora tilted her head, a mixture of awe and hunger in her gaze. “Seriously? You killed that?” Serenya nodded, brushing a strand of hair from her face. “I did. And I can teach you how to aim, how to draw, how to—” Before she could finish, the scent of blood carried on the wind, and from the treeline came the unmistakable rush of two familiar wolves in human form—Jax and Gunner. They skidded to a halt, eyes locking on the deer.

Darius said, “is that what’s inside you doesn’t belong in this century. The binding with him cracked the seal. And now it’s leaking.” Jarett’s hand found mine behind his back. His fingers were freezing. “Speak plainly.” Drexus looked at me, really looked, like he was measuring how much I could take. “Three nights ago, two miles outside Black Ridge territory, a deer herd was slaughtered, it was torn apart with sixteen bodies. The tracks we found led to you.” The air left my lungs. “That’s not me,” I said. But even as I said it, I remembered the dream. The red. The running, and waking up with dirt under my nails and no memory of how I got home.

With a soft nod, she grabbed Katie's hand, just about returning the relieved smile on Katie's face as they headed for the treeline that other girls had disappeared into. Lucas snarled as he knocked the gun out of the hands of one of Nathaniel's men. It didn't surprise him that the coward would arm his men with guns but they were useless against the raid. With a swift kick to the chest, he sent the startled male flying into the unforgivingly hard trunk of a frozen pine tree. A grunt mingled with the wet smack of the man's skull cracking against the bark before he fell lifelessly onto the snowy ground.

I could tear my skirt for a makeshift bandage to hide where the wound had been. The doe keened again, squirming onto her feet and swaying unsteadily. “Shhh, it’s okay,” I murmured to the doe, moving into place. “I’ll help you.” The blood was oozing from a deep slash along her neck. A clean cut, strangely. No animal could have done that. I heard it before I could react– the bouncing twang of an arrow being loosed from a bow. I looked up just as an arrow whistled past my eye–

She had already mated and bore a child with the alpha of the Blood Moon pack. I only got one thing to do. I have to kill her and the child before time runs out. I attacked their land with the plan of being able to end my miseries. The Blood moon pack was wiped out. Their alpha was dead along with his warriors. Now, the only thing to do is to kill Josephine. I should be happy upon seeing her laying down under the tree with blood all over her body. But when I came closer, I had seen that the baby inside her was gone.

That was one down and two more to go. Progressing with the combatants in front to prevent another surprise encounter, Zen and Damian called for a truce. The sooner they completed the side quest, the quicker they could clear the final boss of the first stage. With Remi and Charlie guiding, Jessica and Benjamin clearing a path, there was nothing much for the ones getting carried to contribute. Zen only cast healing when there were injuries, and Damian used magic to shield Jessica once from an injured Dinotaur she thought was dead. “This should be the last,” Remi announced after Charlie played invisible hopscotch to avoid floor traps, lighting the last candelabra.
