BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY! We went to the side garden of the resort. The elders were already there for the ritual I was about to perform. One of them greeted me, "Good evening Miss Hamilton. Are you ready?" I sparingly answered after greeting them, "Yes..." "Just remember... What you can see and what the seer can see is your ability. Maybe not just one or two. Sometimes what appears is the most important part you'll play within in our pack, maybe now or later... Don't worry, less than an hour, everything will be over and you can rest too. That's how it is and your age is the appointed year when our most important role as a wolf will be known." "If you're ready we can start." Said Mrs. Loudor, one of the best seer in our pack ever, "But before that, kneel down with your knees on the ground then close your eyes and cross your hands over your chest until the chant is over. Do you have a black cloth to cover your eyes?..." Mrs. Loudor continued. I heard my mom says she forgot
ROGUES AND WITCHES My friends wondered why I ran outside the house. I even forgot to put on my slippers just to catch up with the man. I breath first, "Ah, I thought we forgot something in the van..." I said. "Ah, okay..." - Cornell. "I thought what's the matter, already..." - Ranjan. "You're like chasing a thief..." Carline, scratched her head. "What, happened?" - Astrielle, who had just come from the kitchen to get Canna some water. The little girl came to me, "I know that!" she whispered. "Shhhhh..." I placed my index finger on her mouth, "Pinky promise..." I reminded her. "I'm going home first. I'm going to get the Harley. I'm not fit to be a van driver. Geeeezzzz!" Ranjan said and headed outside but came back and called his brother. "How many siblings do you have, Astrielle?" Carline was intrigued, long after we are sitting at the living room. "Ah, two? Uhmmmn, three..." "Huh?" Carline and I said together. "How did two become three?" Carline asked.
FAMILY REUNION Early that Tuesday morning. My mom let me wore a pure black dress and let me wear a black headpiece with net that almost cover my face. I texted my friends about me and mom's agenda today. She hired her head nurse to be our driver and. "Are you all set, Doctor Letty?..." Mom nodded to Jediah. "Good morning, Wynzlette. You look fabulous. I will give you my birthday gift after we come back home tomorrow. I'm sorry I wasn't able to attend your party..." He rev the engine of the pick-up and the ride started. "It's okay nurse Jeddy. Thank you so much..." Mom is busy with her phone. "We will take the route via Casablanca to Pazville so that we will be able to reach the north within half a day." "That's cool, Jediah..." Mom stated. "Why we shouldn't just run instead of taking a ride, mom?" "It's too dangerous, Wynzlette. We can't passed other territories we just run and to avoid eyes..." Jediah explained. "I want to sleep for a while..." and mother closed her e
COOKIES "What do you think?" "This one?" I eat the matcha flavored stick my friend gave me. We are sitting on a bench near the house. "It's obviously a green tea... tastes like one," I uttered, nonchalantly. "It wouldn't be called, matcha if it isn't green tea." "Tssssk!" I reprimanded. "By the way, did you saw Queenie?" She's scrutinizing me while dropping the question. "Why? Is there something interesting about her? Don't tell me that you befriended with her after a day that I am not with you?" I joked around. "No, no, it's not like that. It's just kinda weird that she's wearing a scarf when it's not that cold... Really weird..." Carline's mind is somewhere else and is occupied by Queenie. "She might not be feeling well or just for fashion. She wanted to attend the Paris fashion week so just give her a break..." I finished the last stick of Pepero. We are waiting for Astrielle because she said that she will come with us to lake crystal. We will be having a picnic toda
REAL ABILITIES Thursday came and all we did was to watch drama and run. Fortunately the two felt better. Mom came that evening with my cousin Jediah. "Hello nurse Jediah, it's nice too see here," Carline greeted my cousin. Astrielle isn't with us because she went home to Casablanca after our run earlier. "Good evening Ms. Leonel, how have you been?" "I'm good, thanks..." - Carline. "Have you had your dinner already, kids?" My mom asked us. "Yes, mom. We are planning to go to bed already," I told her. "Oh, go ahead then..." Carline and I went to my room and after she settled on my bed, "Is nurse Jediah always come here to your house?" she asked. "No, maybe he has important things to do here." I reasoned out. No one knows my connection with the nurse yet but it's better not to broadcast it. "I still can't get over about what happened yesterday, did you really tasted the cookies too?" "I just got a bite. There's nothing wrong with it though..." "Then why is it that me an
SOULMATE When we arrived at New Castle, there were not many people because it's not yet evening. "It's fun! let's go to the rides, I'll be the one to pay, my treat!" Carline pulled me and I pulled Astrielle. The men left and we don't know where they went. "Whose car was that earlier?" Carline asked. "Ah, my brother probably borrowed it because he brought someone here earlier," answered, Astrielle. I have a hunch that the car belongs to Astrielle's family because her brother seems to be staring at a man and the man leaves after a nod. "I thought it was yours, Rascal right? Your brother is handsome, isn't he Wynzlette?" Carline suddenly winked at me so I answered in surprise, "Uhmmmn, yeah... right, right..." I paused before closing my eyes, "let's go to the ferris wheel, that's what I wanted to try." I suggested. "Sure, let's go!" come on, Astrielle. We enjoy the ferris wheel ride until 4 in the afternoon and then try the other rides too. At five o'clock we just to
WAIT FOR ME I run going outside the bar and walk towards the scent of that man. There is a strong pull in me and even to my wolf wanting to know him. He isn't ordinary, I noticed that few wolves inside the place disappeared after him. Even Cornell and Ranjan tossed their glass when they saw him. There's something intimidating by the way he looked just like when I saw him in the woods. His eyes are of hue of blue and silver or maybe just because of the light from the moon but they speak, authority and power. I am carefully looking at the surrounding as I sniff where the traces lead and when I finally got the path I end up in the middle of the city's streetlight cross road. There are cars and wolves walking and the scent has faded... So much to my dismay. A sudden sirens makes the cars to adjust and three tinted Cadillac Escalade passed by. I gasped as I look at window of the second vehicle right at the opposite direction. The window is slightly opened and a puffed of cigar and th
RISING SUN SPIDER PACK "How have you been?" My mother asked, worriedly. I lean on the headboard. I saw Carline that is combing her hair and Astrielle that looks so sleepy. Did they all not sleep since dawn? I cleared my throat, "I am fine. Thank you so much, Mom. Why are you hear? Aren't you supposed to be at the hospital?" I bombarded my mother with questions, "Look, I am alive and Wynzie is so healthy!" I exclaimed later on just to convince her enough. "You can a convulsion earlier Wynzlette, and now you're telling that nothing is serious? You almost killed me by being worried," Mother said in her calm tone. I held her hand and kissed it. Did I got a high fever earlier? I thought it's just a dream. "Mom, your patients are waiting for you and nurse Jediah doesn't like being left alone at somebody's operating room." She pout and smeared her face, "Just be sure to take your medicine." Mom kiss my forehead and she look at my two friends, "Thank you so much for taking care
