The Alaskan Werewolves

A complete Ann the Vampire story.

     It was stormy, sure enough and a bad one. And Ann was caught in it. She had been out hunting for blood and had gone further than she usually did. It had been snowing then but lightly, huge beautiful delicate flakes, almost as large as her hand. They drifted down silently from a strangely luminous grey sky even though it was well into night. Another magical moment here in Alaska, Ann decided. But by the time she had found a suitable victim, fed and started her return flight home those huge white intricate and delicate flakes had reduced in size. Now they were small angry bits of snow that stung like evil bees when they struck the skin and a howling wind was building. It wasn’t long before Ann found herself trying to navigate a flow blown storm. A white out. A blizzard, sure enough.

    The winds were strong and sounded like a demented wild cry of some tormented animal from the bowels of Hell itself. And the gusts were ferocious. Violent. Powerful. They knocked Ann about in the air. Ann battled on, determined to get back home. She, Eddie, Tyler and Justin had just moved into their own little cabin a long ways from the town where they had been living in an apartment. Now they had much more privacy. Their nocturnal habits would not so easily be noticed now by humans. And Ann loved her new home. They had much more space and she was eager to be with her family and sleep in Eddie’s arms.

    A big gust of wind hit Ann and knocked her from the sky. Even though she had fed, battling the winds had weakened her and left her vulnerable. Battling winds of this force and power was something she was not accustomed to and now she was tumbling to the earth. I’ll land in a drift of snow. I’ll be fine even if I sink into it. I’m a vampire, I can’t suffocate, Ann told herself as she spun to earth out-of-control like.

    Her confidence was shattered when she hit hard against a large boulder that wasn’t blanketed with snow. She heard the sickening sound of several bones snapping in two within her body. Then blackness engulfed her. Ann was not aware when she finally did land in a snowdrift. A soft, feather soft landing after rolling off the boulder.

 

    Ann slowly became aware. Something warm and moist was slightly pressed to her cheek. She felt a puff of luke warm air brush her face. Breath. Something was breathing on her! Ann forced her eyes to open. She was lying on her back half way buried in a snowdrift. Her body hurt. She had several broken bones that were already healing. And their healing was like liquid fire in her body. She moaned.

    A wolf was standing over her, its face near hers, its flaming yellow eyes watching her closely. In her haze of pain Ann recognized those eyes. The name that went with them escaped her at the moment. She hurt! She thirsted! And her broken body was unable to move.

    The blizzard had passed and the sky over head was clearing. A few stray flakes of snow continued to fall. But daylight was not far off. Ann’s heart leaped in alarm! She would die if true daylight touched her body. She was weak after her flight battling the storm and with the healing that was going on in her body and she needed blood again. Desperately. She would have to get her body to move enough to seek shelter within the snow to avoid daylight but was it deep enough?

    The wolf with the flaming yellow eyes was still watching her. She realized it was a he, a big shaggy male wolf. And he was familiar. I’ve seen him before, Ann realized. She had to drag her mind back from the pain and recall who this wolf was, why he was familiar. The big wolf opened his muzzle and gave her a big wolfish smile. He knows me! Ann thought with surprise, we have met before!

    Then, as she watched, the wolf’s body rippled and shifted. Where once a wolf stood now stood a man. Ann recognized the man and his name came to her. Jake!

    Jake! Leader of the Alaskan Werewolf Clan.

    “Yes Ann Vampiress, I see you recognize me.” Jake said.

    “I do.” said Ann and she smiled weakly, pleased to see him again.

    “I see you are injured and daylight is not far off.” He gazed up at the grey sky that was turning to a lighter grey as he looked.

    Ann waited.

    “I will take you from here to safety.” Jake looked back down at Ann. “So you can heal in peace.”

    “Thank you.” She had known Jake would help her.

    “You once saved me. You will always have my loyalty Vampiress Ann.”

    He bent down and scooped her up in his arms. As he did so Ann noticed several wolves standing in a half circle around him. Part of Jake’s Alaskan Werewolf Clan.

    He moved easily with her in his arms deeper into the Northern Woods, his Clan members shadowing him.

    “I heard your psychic cry when you hit that boulder. I recognized your voice. I came quickly but you were out a while before I reached you. Werewolves, even in wolf form, cannot cover the miles as quickly as vampires can.”

    “You are here Jake. You came. You honored your word.” Ann said, her voice tight with the pain of her healing. She needed blood. Her body used up already the blood she had feasted on earlier that night in the healing that had already occurred along with her flight through the storm. She needed more blood to help heal her body faster and ease her pain.

    “We have a cabin not far from here we use on long trips. We do not spend all our time in wolf form. You will rest there and heal. I will bring you fresh blood. I sense you are in dire need of it.” Jake told her.

    “Thank you. I will live now because of you.” Ann said in a breathless tired voice.

    In a short while they reached the cabin. A female werewolf was waiting for them and once Jake took Ann inside the female settled Ann in. In a dark room with no windows she snuggled into a nice comfortable bed. “Rest.” The female werewolf said. “Jake will be back soon with a meal.”

    Later he was back with a human who willingly offered Ann his blood. She accepted and fed, taking only as much as she needed. “Thank you.” She said to Jake and the willing donor. After feeding Ann lie back in the bed and fell into a deep healing sleep.

    By the following dusk Ann was healed and able to fly again. There was no one at the cabin when she woke. Jake was no where around. Ann left the cabin and shot up into the cold Alaskan night air and made ready to finish her trip home. “Thank you Jake.” Ann said into the night as she circled twice above the cabin before departing. She heard the howl of a wolf following behind her. She knew it was Jake and she smiled.

A excellent chapter. The wolf repaid his debt. I like the pace of the story. I like how she didn't kill when she took the blood from the human. A very good ending to this chapter. The story is getting stronger. A excellent chapter.
