Escape

Kara's POV:

I set up a small camp after running for what felt like hours. I ran deep, deep into the woods, away from my house.

I'm going to return back home and see if I can find a clue or something to help me locate where Dylan and the hunters could have gone.

I know he wouldn't return to his house after outing himself as a hunter, but then again he probably thinks I'm dead.

I'm sure he's going to send someone to look for that dead hunter, seeing as he never returned back to their hideout. So I gotta get there in time to see if anyone shows up around the area or if I see anything suspicious.

I still cant risk appearing at his house, someone might recognize me and I don't know if there are any hunters lingering around.

I'm still getting use to my new werewolf senses, everything is louder and it hurts my ears. I really hope I get use to this feeling soon.

Not to mention, there is a lingering discomfort along my spine and my muscles felt sore from shifting and running. But I felt fine, I don't feel like someone who was just stabbed and almost bled to death.

Speaking of bleeding, I took the towel off that I wrapped around my palm earlier and my cut was already healed. I've always thought that was really cool, I use to watch my dad's cuts heal right before my eyes. I had always been amazed and was so proud to be part of a family of werewolves, but ever since the hunters attacked, I can't stand being what I am.

It's all my fault that my parents are dead, it's all my fault for even think about dating when I knew the dangers it came with, for thinking I'd find someone like my parents found each other. For thinking I'd live happily just like they did.

Hot tears streamed down my face. Furiously, I wiped them away and clenched my jaw and tightened my fist. I won't stop until I find Dylan, I have to make him pay for what he did to my family. I won't be the sweet and naive girl I once was.

I grabbed a couple of canned food before I left so I'm waiting for it to heat up on the fire I made. I still can't believe this is how I have to live now...on the run, where no one can recognized me, I have to live as a ghost, I have to make everyone believe I'm dead.

There is a small stream nearby that I used to clean up, I really wish I could take a shower right now. I'm covered in dirt, sweat and dried blood, I can smell it and it disgusts me.

The next few days went by in a blur, I made sure to stay hidden. I rented out a motel room where I could stay for a few more days as I continue my search for the hunters. They really know how to lay low. I couldn't leave the motel the first four days. Everything was just so overwhelming, everyone and everything was so loud and the sun was so bright I couldn't handle it. I hear everything and it's so hard to control it. I don't know how my dad did it.

I wish...

Not to mention I had to spend my birthday alone for the first time. My house was on the news a couple days ago, I didn't get to see it all since I was passing by and I just happened to hear someone watching it in a store. But they ruled it out as a robbery gone wrong, I can't imagine the look on Dylan's face when he watched it. I bet he was angry. They also mentioned my little brothers and I were missing, I couldn't stand hearing anymore after so I left.

After I finished showering and getting dressed, I put on a black cap and covered my face with a mask. I found a pawn shop another town over and as much as it pains me, I'm going to trade my moms jewelry for money and get a fake Id along with fake identity papers.

Getting a fake ID wasn't that hard surprisingly, an old friend of mine told me how she got one and has been trying to convince me to get one so we could go clubbing but I was never into the idea of getting a fake ID. Luckily, I remembered where she got hers.

This person works at a photo studio and he secretly does fake id's, there is a secret code that you tell him and he'll know right away. My friend use to date the guy so she told me what the code was. After visiting him at the shop, he took me in the back for my picture and he told me he'd text me within 2-3 hours and he'd have my ID ready.

I purchased a box of hair dye and prepaid phone earlier in the day, there is no point on buying a regular phone since I won't be able to contact anyone or use any of my social media seeing as everyone thinks I'm either missing or dead and I have to keep it that way. I dyed my dark brown hair to a dark burgundy color before taking the picture.

A couple hours later, I'm sitting at the bus stop waiting for this guys text. I checked out of the motel and have no where to go at the moment. I don't want to waste all my money on the motel. As soon as I get my ID I'm heading out of town, I did some tracking a couple days ago I found some hunters that were wandering around my house. Apparently they have another base located in Arizona, which is about a 2 hour flight from me, but I can't exactly take a plane. I don't want to leave but if it's a way for me to get to Dylan and the hunters then I'm willing to leave.

I'm going to have to take a night bus and a bus to get there. I booked my ticket to leave later tonight then it'll be an 18 hour bus ride. As I was deep in my thoughts I felt my phone beep with a text. Just the person I've been waiting for. The place wasn't that far from where the bus stop where I was so I walked after 10 minutes I was in front of the studio.

After paying for it and thanking him, I was out and I couldn't help but stare at the plastic card in my hands. I couldn't recognize this person... she was me but then it wasn't. With everything taken care of I was ready to leave. But there was one thing I had to do before I left and that was to visit my parents. My parents friends took care of their funeral. I couldn't attend the day of, I was still in pain and trying to get use to everything going on, I also couldn't risk going in case there were any hunters waiting for me. It's already the beginning of November, time really went by so fast, I feel so awful for not visiting sooner.

With one last glance at the ID in my hand, I read my new name displayed on the card, Luna Park.
