Demon Slayer: Rise of The First Werewolf-Chapter 8: More Trails

Meggie froze, then she backed off towards the door slowly. A knife suddenly pierced the wall next to her head.

She flinched, then took a deep breath and watched the two people in her house with defiance.

" Brave, I like it." Commented the woman still playing with her knives.

" I suppose introductions are in order." The man took a step forward and bowed towards her.

It was unnecessary, Meggie knew of these two, they were quite famous Espara amongst the level one, considered one of the most dangerous duos.

However she kept quiet and didn’t say a word, " I’m Wolf and this is Vestro." He pointed at the woman.

Meggie still kept quiet. " You don’t look scared, normally after we introduce ourselves, your kind always begs for their lives." Said Vestro with interest.

" I haven’t done anything wrong, if you want me dead there’s nothing I can say or do that might change your mind."

Wolf took another step towards her fixing his suit. " On the contrary, you might be of assistance to us."

She had an idea what they were going to ask of her. As she had predicted.

" You see, we’ve come to learn of quite a vicious member of your kind, the Fayera i mean, not necessarily a witch, and they seem to be hiding here.

We were hoping you could lend us a hand in finding them.".

Meggie giggled, " How could you be so sure it’s a Fayera, why couldn’t it be an Espara?"

Her question made Wolf’s expression changed, his face grew darker and a dangerous glint shone in his eyes.

Meggie’s hand sneaked towards her back pocket. This didn’t escape the eyes of the two.

" Try anything and you’ll be dead before you can cast a single spell." Wolf threatened, a faint projection of a massive black wolf appeared behind him.

Wolf was a type of Espara called summoners, their power relied on summoning an energy construction.

Usually these constructions are determined at the moment of their awakening. As a high rank level 1 he wielded immense power.

Enough to kill her before she can utter a single word. Meggie was a level 1 witch, as well and not a particularly strong one by her standards.

She knew she couldn’t defeat these two by herself but she also couldn’t allow herself to be in their mercy.

Meggie was nobody’s bitch and she wouldn’t be starting today. She took a deep breath and sighed.

" I can’t help you even I wanted to, I don’t know what did that to those men, it’s not something I’ve ever seen before."

" There are many savage Fayera out there, an ogre perhaps." Vestro suggested but Wolf and Meggie shook their heads at the same time.

" If you can find something belonging to that Fayera I might be able to help you."

" Which covenant are you from?" Wolf asked causing Meggie to frown.

" It’s rude to ask a witch their covenant." Wolf as a gentleman bowed and apologised.

" Also, you didn’t answer my question, how do you know it’s not an Espara? Fayera are taught the rules as kids.

Your kind can awaken randomly, perhaps some idiots came into power and decided to abuse it.

Or perhaps it’s a demon, I heard there was one around here not long ago."

Her words made them think, Wolf turned to address Vestro and that gave her the opportunity she needed.

She pulled something out of her back pocket, by the time they reacted it was already too late.

In her hand was a tiny bird skull with a red pattern on top. " Displodo." She shouted, the skull opened it beak.

Out came a low frequency sound that assaulted the two of them the glass in the room shattered. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

They grabbed their ears and fell on their knees, she used that opportunity to grab a necklace on the table and ran out to her.

The sound ended just as she reached her car, she had not locked and opened the door as fast as she could.

She was about to get in when when she felt somebody grab her hair from behind, before she could fight back they banged her head against her car and she fainted.

The last thing she saw was Vestro smiling cruelly at her. When she woke up she found herself tied to a chair in a dark room.

She could feel a throbbing pain on her forehead. " Ouch, was that necessary?"

Vestro sitting Infront of her stood up and punched her in the face. " No but I really enjoyed it."

" Enough Vestro, we still need her help." Wolf came in still looking clean like some businessman in a fancy suit.

" While I would’ve preferred you to be a divination witch, I suppose an alchemist will do just fine."

He stood Infront of her and fixed his hair, " Now then, I should punish you for your foolish actions but I will not.

As long as you cooperate with us that is, come with me." He untied her and led her into another room.

Honestly, she was quite nervous, these two weren’t know for their forgiving nature, many Fayera have fallen to their hands.

" Don’t believe the rumours." Wolf told her as if he can read her mind. " We do not hurt those who do not deserve it."

He stopped and looked at her, Vestro fetched a laptop and opened it. A video tape played.

It was the footage of the station store, she watched a man go in and search around then less than a minute later three more men with guns came in.

The first man went towards them, based on the moving lips of one of the three they were talking to each other.

However the footage did not have sound, they pointed their guns at him then one of them suddenly pointed the gun at his head.

He appeared to be struggling. The other two shot the man but the bullets fell right out. The first one shot himself in the head.

" Mind control, there are many with that type of ability, some demons, vampires, witches, some Espara, mermaids etc." she commented with a shrug.

" Yes but not many who can move like that."

As soon as Vestro said that, the other two thugs turned to run and the man turned into a blur and blocked the door behind them.

" High speed, high regeneration, that mind control was probably compulsion. I’m ninety percent certain this is a vampire. Do you have those bullets?"

Wolf took out five bullets with blood on them and gave them to her.
