MIRIAM'S POVI have no idea why but seeing the man grabbing Eli threateningly and with a knife seemed to get me really angry. It was not the usual fear but a demand within that I rip his head off. I suddenly pictured how I was going to do it and somehow I knew it would definitely gladden my heart. I was already back counting in my head for when I would carry out the act when Eli stepped up and in a quick motion, he disarmed the really big man and pressed his arm behind his back forcing him to cry out in pain."Listen mate, we do not want any trouble." Eli whispered to him."So did I." The man in pain cried out."Then scram." Eli said as he pushed him away.I was taken aback as I stared at him. The feeling I was getting was beginning to calm down. Eli rushed over to me as he checked me."Are you alright?" He asked me, rubbing my shoulders like it was a calming therapy. I looked up at him."Eli, something is happening to me. I wanted to kill that man so badly." I said to him,He hugged
REHAB'S POVIt was really amusing to me how they had been so clumsy with themselves. I had actually been anticipating the advent of the banshee and those who were buried. Perhaps I should take a little while to introduce myself properly. My name is Rehab and most would like to refer to me as the one who was and the who who remains. I have been a witch cursed with the fate of immortality after the last banshee and her witch companion had transferred the powers of witching to me in hopes that I would wait upon the advent of the next banshee and do the same as them to the next selected witch after me. I had been living for five centuries now under different guises and names but my true name had been made known to the witches and the supernatural beings so they could seek me out. I would be placed at about five hundred years now. Too old? Come on but the perks of immortality was that I get to remain in the same way I had been when those powers shifted. I would pass for one in her late t
MIRIAM'S POVFive hundred and twenty seven years old and she looked this young, it was unbelievable.I walked inside following her tentatively with Eli right behind me as my eyes scanned the entire area. This was probably not what I had been expecting when they mentioned a witch's home. I had been expecting the usual hangings and signs of witchery as if my own home had not been as ordinary as would be back in the days. However, her home seemed pretty much as decent as any other house."Not what you expected?" She suddenly asked me like she had been reading my mind, I had not expected her to notice that I had been staring so openly.I quickly flashed her a quick smile."Nice place." I said to her but I was still looking for something that would hint me that she was a witch. There had to be something.Suddenly, a bird crackled and I saw the raven. Now my curiosity could be at bay that there was some significance of what she was. "Please sit down." She said to us pointing to the two sea
ELI'S POV"Let's get out of here." I said to Miriam.Clearly, we had been wasting our time working on what I would have called a basic knowledge. I mean, what had I been expecting from a witch as this actually. I already stood up and then stared hard at Miriam like I was about to question whether or not she would be leaving with me. Miriam took a pause and rose up."Thank you." She said to try witch.Thank her, for what exactly? For wasting our time and not providing useful aid to me? "Wait, banshee. I have something of yours that your ancestor left to you." She suddenly said,"My ancestor?" Miriam muttered."The last banshee." She said,"Wait, the last banshee was my ancestor? How is that even possible?" Miriam asked her obviously confused and I also was confused. I knew Miriam's parents and they had all her childhood pictures."You see, some secrets were better left off the ears of children out of love. Why do you think you never had any powers as a witch?" She suddenly asked and M
MIRIAM'S POVWe had to leave that town with Jose and somehow, with him following us, I had a feeling of being protected. I had begun having these vivid dreams and visions that seemed to confuse me as they made me scared. It was all centered around the pain and destruction of the world but I always found myself awake the very moment I saw myself in a blur of lights. Jose would always explain it was one of the things a banshee experiences but even more was his warning that I needed to activate my werewolf properties as that was needed.Eli would hear nothing of it as all he could think of was how painful it was going to be. He made certain we walked off road paths and into the woods so as not to encounter anything or anyone that would serve as a trigger to us. It had been three nights in a row and my dreams were already taking shapes and mixtures with the dead. This particular night would have been the fourth and I was suddenly in a place as I heard whispering voices talking to me. I c
ELI'S POVI could not believe that I had actually left the witch's attendant behind in my bid to chase after Miriam. But then, who cares? All along, he had been going on and on about how she needed to unlock her wolf capabilities which was actually something I would pretty much not hear of. I actually found that I desired that he actually meets his waterloo at this point because he had clearly not been helping matters. Miriam was nearly losing control and there was no saying what extent that would take to her when she unlocked her full werewolf powers."He'll be fine." I said to her,"Go find him." She said to me,I looked at the people she had been observing steadily and then decided against listening to her at the moment."He's a warlock probably. He should be able to take care of himself." I said to her as she glared hard at me.Seriously, I had never seen this part of Miriam in my entire life and it was actually quite scary. She looked like she was getting ready to rip my heart ou
JASON'S POVI had run away from home since the night I had set the fire to my home and it really had not been easy to pull the stunt I had. I had attacked Miriam and dealt with her heavily, finally believing that I had righted the wrong I had made many years ago. I should have killed her that night instead of allowing myself to fall in love with her. So much for that love I had for her as it had clearly gotten me nowhere.I ran upstairs to get my kids as I had not trusted a distraught Eli not to harm them when he realized that Miriam was dead. The both of them had gotten off the bed and rushed over to me as I grabbed them and jumped from the window. My men were already outside as I had reached out to them during the entire time when Eli had been telling his story with a text. The instruction was clear and they had been quite busy with it as they already prepared the house to set on fire. This was no ordinary fuel, it was laced with greek powder to make sure it did not stop easily. The
MIRIAM'S POVThe pain was unsettling as I fell on all fours. I let off a piercing scream as I started feeling all my bones breaking, one at a time.It had started with my spine, angling into an awkward bend with a loud noise as I was being shifted to what would pass for a wolf's spine. I had never felt anything more painful in my entire life and only now did I begin to realize why Eli had been trying to stop me all along from activating the curse.Yes, it was a curse and I could now see that clear enough.Eli came to me but just then, my ribs cracked and I screamed as I glared at him. In this moment of pain, I did not want anyone coming closer or I might lash out at them. My wrist joints went next that I had suddenly rolled over in pain from the impact, screaming as my face and legs began their process. . with each passing moment, I felt the restructuring of my entire bones to fit into the shape of a werewolf. My ears were not left out as they were stretched badly. My teeth became fan
