Chapter 56

　　The elderly woman grabs the younger woman’s shoulder but stares at me.

　　‘It’s over for now, but this won’t be the last you see of us.’ She hisses.

　　I growl and step towards them. May places her hand on my back.

　　‘No, let them go. We need to find Nina. We can worry about them later.’

　　She says as the two women quickly shift and run away. I shift back and yell in pain. After a few minutes, I’m in my human form. Leon shifts back as well.

　　‘Nina!’ I cry out.

　　There are dead bodies everywhere. Gianna is sobbing. May approaches her and unties her from the post and the rope from her wrists. I hear a moan and a mumble and run towards the sound. Pushing a couple of bodies aside, I find Nina.

　　‘Nina, I’m here. You’re safe now.’ I say, untying her wrists. She squints her eyes, letting them adjust. The look of relief shows on her face. She sits up and lunges into my lap, wrapping her arms around my neck, and cried into my chest.
