The Van Helsing Conjecture – Excerpt No. 14

The werewolf transitioned onto its hind legs, poised to strike. Oh shit!  It was time for Clara to intervene.

“Julia!” When the werewolf paused, Clara added, “You don’t want to deal with the side-effects of her death…trust me.”

There was hesitation in those eyes, but the werewolf took a few steps back.  Clara broke the arrow shaft of the one that kept her pinned down. Despite the pain, she forced her wings to fold in.

“Killing a god or goddess imbues the murderer with some of their powers…and personality. Effectively, Artemis would haunt you for eternity, and I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy,” Clara said.

Photo-realistic image of a massive black furred werewolf on its hind legs looming over a mangled Roman goddess. It looks as though it is about to strike with it's clawed hand. Located deep in winter woods at night with the full moon hanging over the air.
