My Job.

Swiping my hand across my shots I try to rid Anna’s blood from my hand but it’s no use. It’s already dried so it’s going to stay there until I actually shower or at the very least wash my hands.

“How is she?” Eliza whispers coming up behind me, I look at her and see she’s in a similar state of dress as me.

“I told you not to come.” I use a low voice so as not to disturb everyone helping Anna.

Packland. I’ve never heard of a shifter using a gun before,” I look over at Doctor Lee as he makes a victory sound and holds up a small bullet in between some tweezers. I’m instantly moving forward in confusion, I need a closer look because I swear that bullet is blinking.

“Any deeper and you might have needed surgery but as it is, a few stitches and you will be fine.” Doctor Lee says to a dazed and pale looking Anna, “someone get this Luna a stiff drink while I sew her up.” Doc turns and drops the bullet in a little dish before turning to grab his sewing stuff.

“Listen, I’m no bullet expert.” I hold the little tray up to my eye and see. I’m right, there is a little blue light blinking at the end of it. “But I’m pretty sure they don’t have lights on them.”

“Let me see,” I pass the tray to Fraction after he hands Anna a glass of whiskey which she just holds in her shaking hand. “It doesn’t look like any bullet I’ve ever seen.”

“It’s a tracking bullet,” me and Fraction both look at Eliza. “My papa used to hunt with a group of humans and they used bullets like these so they could track their prey.” I scrunch my nose up at the idea of shooting a deer, I’ll take claws over a gun anyday.
