The Perfect Thief novel Chapter 339

Chapter 0339 At that moment , I thanked the heavens for not sending me into this cave alone .

Thank Goddess Tabby had come with me .

Once I was ready , I shifted into my wolf form and lunged at the bear .

Yes , my wolf was much smaller than the bear, but she was fierce , and she wouldnt back down from a fight .

She also had very sharp claws , and her teeth did major damage when she bit .

Tabby backed away as I took over the fight , lunging at the bear and attaching myself to its back until it went down completely .

The bear growled and tried to swipe at me again , but it was too slow for my fast movements , and I bit into its neck , ripping it apart .

Blood pooled into my mouth , and I should have been disgusted , but I didnt .

I felt a strange sense of victory and a lot of pride .

Tabby watched in awe as I singlehandedly took down the bear .

Her eyes were wide as she kept her hands clutching the remaining rocks she held .

Once the bear was officially on the ground and struggling against me , Tabby took the initiative to retrieve the flag from around its neck , dropping the remaining rocks on the ground .

She also grabbed my clothes and started towards the entrance of the cave , not wanting to waste another moment .

I took her lead , and as soon as the bear was down , I chased after her , leaving the cave before the bear had a chance to wake up .

My fur was covered in the bears blood , but I knew it was still alive .

It would soon wake up and live life as if this had never happened .

I didnt kill it ; I only knocked it out .

Once we were out of the cave , I quickly shifted back into my human form and grabbed my clothes from her .

Even my human skin was covered in blood .

She fell over in a fit of laughter , tears in her eyes .

Holy shit ! That was insane .

Wait until we tell everybody what had happened , she laughed .

I couldnt help but smile , too , now that the adrenaline was starting to wear off , my heart rate had settled .

As if on cue , the drone returned and captured us with the flag .

I smiled at the camera , showing off the flag so everybody watching knew what we had just done .

The flag had some blood on it , too , from the bear .

Thats a really bad scratch , Tabby pointed out , glancing at my arm .

Itll heal , I told her , not worried about it ; shifters healed f Yeah , but you should clean it up anyway , she told me .

I nodded as we headed back to the campsite .

What happened to you two ? Sherry asked , rushing towards us .

When she saw the flag , her eyes lit up .

found a flag ? You Yeah , in a cave , I told her , Around a bears neck , Tabby continued .

Judy, because you and Tabby fought a black bear yesterday you both can rest for today and watch over the flags we got , Chuck continued , making me frown .

Id rather search for the flags , I told him .

I dont want to stay here and do nothing .

This is a team assignment , he reminded me .

We work as a team ; every layer is important .

We need those flags watched .

You did your part yesterday , and you did great .

Im not trying to take that away from you .

But the rest of us have this now .

We only have two flags to find .

Now that we are nearing the end , they are going to try and take our flags from us so we cant finish the competition , Sherry told me .

Your job is pretty crucial today .

Can we depend on you ? I glanced at Tabby, who only gave me a short shrug , and then I sighed .

Yes , of course you can , I assured them .

Well be here .

With a smile , everybody dispersed , leaving Tabby and me alone to watch over the flags .
