I stood still, staring at the darkness in front of me. I needed time and space to think, which was why I was here alone in the forest, not far from the camp. After that guy's outburst earlier, it got me thinking. What if Alec really wouldn't make it, no... to be more precise, what if we couldn't make it out of this war alive? What if we lose each other forever?"Hey, what are you doing here alone?" A deep voice suddenly interrupted my train of thoughts. I spun around and saw that it was Alec. He had on a worried face and I could sense that he felt down as well after what happened earlier. "I just needed to think, and what better place than here?" I replied, smiling at him as he approached me. "You know it's dangerous out here in the dark," He said with a firm voice, but the gentleness behind them are still evident. He slowly wrapped his arms around me as he engulfed me in a tight hug. His earthy wooden scent was all it took to calm my chaotic thoughts. I was afraid, I admit, but
"They are making a move,""How do you know?" Alec asked, looking at the older woman intently."I can sense it, they're strength is getting stronger and their number is growing," Gretchen said, closing his eyes, breathing heavily."So the war is looming?" Irina asked."I believe so," "Tell everyone to be ready, when the moon turns red, all blood will be shed to the ground, there is no escaping the rules of life and death," She muttered, slowly opening her eyes, and for a second they were white, but the next, it turned to their normal grey lifeless orbs.Alec told me that she can foresee the future, is this what he meant by that?"Alec," I muttered, my heart beat racing faster than it ever was before."Don't worry baby, everything will be alright," he said, embracing me in a tight hug."Everyone get ready! All of you return to your assigned areas and guard it well, when the sun sets at six we will...""At the rock mountains,""What are you saying Gretchen?" Christopher asked on the sid
I looked around me and everyone was fighting. I quickly went to my friends side and aided them."Skye," Keira called my name and I literally cried seeing her all beaten up. I held their bodies together and teleported us to a more safer grounds. "That was dangerous what you did there," Derek scolded me and I glared at him. "What did you expect me to do? Stand sill while they kill you right in front of my eyes?!" I seethed, tears still flowing out of my eyes. They looked at me with turbulent expression, and they all lowered their heads, their shoulders rising and falling as they cried with me.[AGHHH!!!] I suddenly heard a shout coming from somewhere, and I was immediately taken back to reality."Alec!" I shouted in fear."I'm gonna go back, flee from here as far as you can," I told them, and they were about to protest but I already teleported back to the mountains to see everyone still fighting for their lives.Wolves and rogues clashed, teeth bared and claws extended, in a frenzy
🌹THIRD PERSON POV🌹Five years have passed after the war, everyone was not the same anymore.There were countless casualties, families grieving from the passing of their loved ones.Alec prevailed in defeating Lucius, although victorious, his heart became distant from everyone because he lost someone important to him.(FLASHBACK)Alec seeing Lucius lifeless form beneath him, he grinned, satisfied that he avenged the people who he mercilessly murdered.He looked around and only a few rogues were left remaining standing, but also only a few of his allies are alive, more than half was dead.He looked back and walked fast to where he left Skye, limping, but when he got there, Skye was no longer there.He looked everywhere for her, but it was to no avail."Skye! Skye!" He shouted, sniffing the air to look for her scent, but he didn't got a single whiff of her. He returned home that night, hoping that she was safe in the pack house but all he saw there were Keira, Derek and Evan who were a
Alec slowly opened his eyes when he heard noises coming from his room. "I don't know, but she seems oddly familliar to me, I don't know why, but she...she just seems so familiar," When Alec looked to his side, he saw Keira and Derek talking. And yes, Derek is slowly becoming a part of their pack because he would always come here to visit Keira. "I don't get what you mean, she's beautiful I give you that, but I don't really find her familiar at all,x"That's because you're stupid!""Hey, that's mean," Derek pouted, but Keira was too stubborn to admit she was wrong and just huffed.When she looked at Alec's direction and saw him awake, she instantly went to his side, with a trail of excessive energy visible by her actions. "Hey, what happened to you?" She asked him in a scolding manner, narrowing her eyes down at him.Instead of answering her question, Alec got up and looked at both of them weirdly, "What were you two talking about?" he asked, massaging his temples at the same time.
🌹ELLA'S POV🌹~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"Ella, are you up already?" Mom nagged from downstairs. "I'm up!" I shouted a reply to her as I wore my school uniform, and I heard her ranting continuously of how much of a slowpoke I am and that I was going to be late for school. "Mom stop yelling already," I told her, going down the stairs and saw her feeding my baby brother Blake. I was so tired last night from helping that guy that I overslept on my first day of school. "There you are," mom sighed, shaking her head, looking at me with a tired gaze."Eat quick, I need you to drive your brother to school," she said."Why me?""My work is killing me Ella, I have to go buy groceries, so please just drive your brother to school honey, just this once," she said, going back and forth grom the kitchen island and the fridge."Fine," I raised my hands up in defeat, looking at Blake who was eating his cereal quietly.My brother's going to start his third year in primary school and
"Let's go?" Lee called me and I prepared my stuff so we could have our lunch, but before we could even leave, Alec called me."Excuse me Miss Ella, can I have a word with you." He said, and I looked at Lee telling her that she can go first."What do you think he wants to talk to you about?" She asked."Problem my tardiness earlier, you can go first, I'll follow shortly after I promise," I told her and she nodded her head, glancing at Alec before taking her leave. I sensed that he was already staring at me, so I spun my heels around, and now...there was just the two of us. None of us were talking, so it was pretty quiet, aside from the bustling noise from outside."Sir, do you need anything?""Oh...right," he stuttered, coughing as he composed himself, seemingly lost in his own thoughts."Thank you by the way for helping me last night,""Oh that, you don't have to thank me," I said."No-no, I think I do. And since you helped me, why don't I treat you for lunch today, what do you say?
"I'll just prepare a few things, you can sit in the living room while I cook us food, make yourself at home," he said, and this time, I was really weirded out, he was really too nice to me. I once saw a movie "Jeffrey Dahmer" and this is exactly what he was like. He was so kind to the people who he let inside his house, but a moment later, he goes wacko-wacko and stabs his guest to death.I stared at Alec as he disappeared into the kitchen, while I on the other hand sat silently in the living room Half an hour probably passed and I was starting to get bored. I got up and walked around the living room looking at everything on display. Somehow, I ended up in the staircase and looked at the frames hanged in the wall on the way up. "Is this his family?" I whispered, looking at one particular frame. There were four of them, and I could discern that the older people were his parents, but m beside Alec, there was a younger guy who looked similar to him. "Is this perhaps his brother?" I
