could.
“Me, too. Hey, listen, I gotta run some errands. Can I drop you off at your apartment, go do what I need to do, and come over when I’m done?”
“Sure, honey, that’s fine.”
Selene noticed that Marcus had stayed there until he saw that she got into the building okay before driving off. She loved that about him; so polite and caring. She made her way up to her apartment and went to unlock the door, noticing that the knob was locked, but not the deadbolt. ‘ Hmm, that’s weird. I thought I locked that when I left this morning. ’
Letting it slide, she entered the apartment, hanging her blazer and purse on the hook by the door. She noticed something was odd. Everything looked normal, but she sensed something was wrong. She sniffed the air curiously and picked up a strange, yet familiar scent.
Then, out of nowhere, she felt a crushing, sharp pain in the back of her head as something hard and heavy hit her, and she was knocked to the floor, lying on her stomach. Disoriented, she struggled to get up, but was held down with brute force. She managed to turn enough to see the man holding her down, as best as she could, anyway. In a blurred, double-vision, she recognized it was the strange man who paid her a visit in her office that day at work.
“I found you,” he said, and when she started to scream, he covered her mouth with his hand. “It’s no use. No one is going to help you. You’re mine, and when I’m finished with you, you’re going to wish you were dead.”
As her captor tied her wrists behind her back, fear began to overwhelm her. If this was a human, she could fend him off no problem. But this was a werewolf attacking her; quite possibly the werewolf that converted her. So many thoughts were running through her head at that moment, but the most important stood out over all the rest; she needed to escape.
The man forcefully flipped her over and grabbed her by the throat, sniffing her neck, hair, and face. “Converting you was a mistake, you know that, right? You were supposed to die, like all the rest.”
“I know,” she said, staring into his cold eyes. Then, with all her strength, she broke the bond on her wrists and pushed him off her, springing to her feet. It amazed her how quickly she had recovered from a blow to the head like that, and apparently he was shocked as well. “And you’ll regret it.”
Remembering what Marcus had told her about thought and concentration, she leapt at him, changing into her wolf form in midair, her paws landing against his chest, sending him backwards. He sprung up and shifted to his brown wolf form, snarling.
What came next, Selene had no idea. She had seen wolves fight before… on TV, but she had no idea how to do it herself. When he lunged at her the first time, she dodged him, whirled around, and sank her teeth into his back leg. With a yelp, he spun around and bit into her side. She shook him off and jumped on his back, wrapping her front legs around him. When her teeth were within an inch of his fur, he reared up on his hind legs like a horse, throwing her backwards. While she was on her back, she saw him lunge at her and rolled out of the way to miss the attack.
She was thinking maybe she should have stayed in her human form. She knew how to fight as a human. They had to go through extensive training when they joined the agency. She knew how to take care of herself that way, but not in wolf form. So she ran.
Selene ran off into her dark bedroom and hid on the other side of her bed, waiting for him to follow.
“Oh, you’re a coward, are you?” he asked, walking into her bedroom bravely. “Went to hide in your bedroom. Come out and face me, little girl! Or, are you afraid to? You know, you’re no match for me.”
Selene waited, hearing his footsteps grow closer and closer to the bed. She wanted to attack when he was close, and since he was in his human form, he would be most vulnerable. When it sounded like he was only a foot
