She moved miles at a time with every teleport jump, she knew exactly where she was going. It would not get her to the man she wanted most, but it would send a clear message to him, personally. I AM COMING FOR YOU...
The last two miles were traveled in an instant as she ran them and remained concealed by the trees. Looking over the supposed vacant buildings, the light's barely illuminating the grounds. It always looked this way, the troubling part was the lack of Guards and the Gate Security was missing, the low growl of frustration escaped her and she moved around the back. The building had a back up generator in case the City grid shut down for whatever reason.
Reaching out to it she yanked the thick cables from the units, then ripped the thick cables from the main power supply. The lights died out but she knew it wasn't enough. Leaping up the side of the building she landed on the roof and made short work of all the dishes, anything that could send out a signal.
She moved through the building, mainly the Head Offices and pulled the computer hard drives, the storage discs and every file she could find. She would eventually get the information she wanted in order to find that Monster. Moving through the rest of the dead facility she found something else and smiled evilly.
The explosion lit up the night like the noon day sun as a small mushroom cloud formed over the building and expanded outwards. The concussion wave struck the City like a small earth quake. While she stood several miles away on a tree limb watching the scene unfold. She would wait for the fool to arrive to witness what she had done for him.
For three days she waited, never moving, always scanning the humans that arrived, but he never showed himself. She realized he did not care about the building or about anything for that matter. She looked down at the case holding everything she had collected, something would tell her what he cared about and she would take it from him.
With a growl she left the area, the teleport jumps made traveling fast once again until she landed in the forest of a place she was growing to know very well.
"Luna Clare, we think the Alpha is back." a voice sent through the link. Clare jumped up and was out the door to the location that she was seeing from the patrol. It had been five days sense Torie disappeared, the News was going wild about a large Government building long abandoned years ago just suddenly blowing up with the force of a small A Bomb. The Investigation was still on going and nothing pointed to anything but a mishap with a fire and forgotten ammo that had been stored there and forgotten.
"Torie?" Clare called to her nearly stick figure form. She didn't look like she'd eaten the entire time she'd been gone. Torie was looking around with bright red eyes and growling at anyone who came close.
"We need to lead her to the pack house, maybe even the clinic." a warrior was saying and before Clare could warn them off they went for her.
Clare stood stock still, she had seen how fast she had handled the dozen warriors with little to no effort on her part. She hadn't killed anyone, but damn were they going to be sore when they woke up. Torie was moving around her in a combative posture, leaning close to sniff at Clare now and then as if trying to figure something out. Clare held her breath as Torie suddenly curled against her.
"Beloved here now, all is good.." Torie's voice said and it barely even sounded like her at all. Clare closed her arms around Tories waist and she felt Torie sigh with what seemed like relief. Then to her shock Torie sagged against her and was out cold, Clare having to hold her mate up. She swept up Torie bridal style.
"Get help out here now, we have Warriors down and prepare the clinic. Wake everyone, we have to find out what is happening." Clare sent out over the bond. She ran with Torie in her arms even as others ran to pick up their pack members still laying on the ground out where they found her. What the hell had happened to her? Clare asked herself.
Three Weeks Later ~
"Well Doctor, can you tell us anything?" Clare demanded angrily, it's been three weeks sense she brought Torie into the clinic and what woke up, was NOT Torie. Clare was staring at the monitor that showed Torie within a large room bending a two inch solid steel plate in half and smiling in a very strange way for her. In the chairs behind her was Jaz, Candice, Jaxon and Francine.
"Well if this was a comedy movie, he would tell you that I am fuckin nuts." Torie suddenly said in that strange voice. Her hearing had expanded beyond anything that could be tested by any means. Clare just sighed and turned to the Doctor sitting behind his desk.
"You are not nuts or even crazy, Wrath, you just need to make peace with yourself and with everyone else." the Doctor said with an exasperated sigh.
"What do you mean by make peace with herself and everyone else?" Clare asked, she was loosing patience with not having her mate by her side.
"Beloved is distressed, we must help our Beloved." to their shock they watched as she slammed her fist into the two foot thick walls and tore a chunk out of it.
"Unlock the gates and get out of her way, NOW." the Doctor yelled into a mic. In moments the door flew inwards and Torie stood in the doorway. She was in Clare's arms in a flash of speed.
Clare couldn't help but feel more calm once she was holding her mate and gently rocked her when security came to the door Torie's warning growl was all they needed to back away.
"Her human and cat sides have always had a good existence going, but inside her the darker side was also there just not known or seen until now." the Doctor was explaining. Wrath/Torie just seem to ignore the words and hummed softly to Clare as they calmed each other.
"In some respects, Torie has always felt a bit of self hatred because she could not save her Grandfather or her pack, seeing him killed and the others ate at her little by little. Seeing a group of women who were kind to her while she was on her own, another event she felt she could have stopped if she'd only been bigger or braver." the Doctor stated.
"Wait a minute, what group of women?" Clare asked softly and Torie looked up at her.
