White Rabbit

Chapter 6 - The Town

    /Trigger warning. I hope you guys are enjoying!/

She set off in human form to try to make her scent as unnoticeable as possible.

    Dianna had packed her supplies for the road not that she'd need them, she'd already eaten.

    The sign to the town hung limply tilted as she entered confidently.

    "Hey baby." A man whistled at her. 

    She sent a glare his way but ignored him.

    He shifted into a large grey wolf and followed her.

    "Come on honey it's rude to ignore." He bound in front of her.

    She let out a low growl as she attempted to move around him.

    "We can go to my place." He offered stepping where she was about to.

    "Not interested." She said flatly.

    "Your voice gives me shivers. I wonder what else it can do." He commented.

    "If you don't step aside it'll be the last thing you ever hear." She threatened baring her teeth.

    "Why don't you tell me your name." He raised a brow.

     He shifted and walked towards her pulling her close to him.

    She extended her canines and pulled a large dagger out of her tunic.

    "You can call me White Rabbit." She took the dagger and slit his throat.

     He hesitated before putting a hand on his neck and falling to the ground.

     The townspeople gasped as she turned to them brandishing the red dagger.

     "Anyone else think they have a chance with me?" She used it as a threat.

     They stepped back.

      She then noticed a few men cornering a small girl.

      She have an angry snarl and sprinted in front of them.

     They nodded at each other, before shifting into large dogs.

     Her breath hitched before she snarled in determination and shifting.

     Her white pelt caused a few gasps but they only watched as the dog shifters were upon her. 

     She bared her teeth at a shaggy brown one and lunged at his neck.

     He tossed her aside but she landed on her paws, shifting them.

     She felt flashes as they cornered her.

     'Not again! I refuse!' She glared angrily.

    Arley stood her ground and as a large grey dog ran forward, she shifted and stabbed him with the dagger.

    One of the dogs ran but the others advanced.

    "Come on bitches." She held it close to her stomach.

    The two remaining lunged but she kicked one of them away, as they yelped.

    The other latched onto her leg.

    She shifted back, freeing her leg, shifting back and stabbing the dog in the eye.

     He reminded her of the ones from her past.

     Relentless.

     He let out a pitiful whine as he shifted and held his eye.

     "Any more takers?" She kicked the man aside and strode in front of the townspeople.

     They shook their heads profusely.
 
     "Clean those bitches up." She ordered before grabbing a handful of the mans who's eye she had stabbed hair and pulling his head back to look at her. "Never touch a woman again. Oh and tell your friends White Rabbit said 'Better luck next time."

      She grinned before knocking him out, and noticing a small head peer out of the ally. 

      She strode forward as the head whipped back from the corner.

      She crouched down.

      "Are you ok? Did they touch you?" She asked.

       The little girl glanced at the men, and nodded.

       "Where's your mom?" She asked.

       The little girl pointed to a woman who was going through the crowd and seemed to be looking for someone.

      She extended her hand for the girl to take and picked her up carrying her to the woman.

      "Are you looking for her?" She asked the woman.

      The woman sighed of relief and grabbed the child.

      Arley made to limp away but the dog bite made her fall to her knees.

     "Miss that's pretty nasty. I'm a nurse I can help!" The woman insisted helping her up.

     "I can manage. Just get your daughter home she's had a rough day." She shook her off.

      "Miss I insist!" She yelled.

      Arley sighed before nodding.

      They walked to a small house and walked in.

      She was sat on a couch as the woman went to grab supplies.

      The little girl watched her.

      She smiled softly.

      "Are you ok?" She asked.

      The girl nodded hesitantly.

      "What's your name?"

      "Olivia." She replied.

      "It's nice to meet you Olivia. You can call me Bunny. I'm sorry all that happened to you. They were bad people." She apologized.

       The woman came back with a cloth and bandages.

       "It won't scar but this'll sting." She dapped a cloth to the wound.

       It sting but Arley kept a straight face.

       "No one's ever stopped from wincing before." The woman shrugged. "What did you say your name was?"

        "I didn't." She said simply.

        "Well it's nice to meet you!" She smiled.

         Arley shook her head, "No. No it's not."

        "Huh?" She wrapped her leg.

        "I said 'no it's not.' They call me White Rabbit, and I shouldn't be here." She explained.

        The woman faltered as her breathing doubled and she stepped back.

        "W-White Rabbit." The woman stuttered.

        She grabbed the child's hand and pulled her behind her.

        Arley sighed and shifted padding to and out the door with a glance over her shoulder.

        She didn't need anyone anyway.

        Only her mate, and her best friend.

         Only Levi and Dianna.
