Chapter 57
Elena Claw Wolfs ~
“I’m sorry!” Sofia said pulling me deeper into the hug. “All I have done up till this very moment has been to keep you safe and prepared.” She continued pulling me out of the tight embrace and looking at me straight in the eyes.
“Look at you? Anywhere and any day, I’ll be proud to say I raised you like a daughter of my own. I am proud of the young lady you have grown to become, Elena.” She declared still staring in my eyes. “And you have every reason to hate me for lying to you all these while, from the start.” She said but right now, I couldn’t bring myself to hate her anymore.
All I can feel towards her is guilt.
I realized that I have been concentrating on my pain so hard that I ended up pouring most of it on the wrong person. The one person who has been by my side through thick and thin, roses and thorns, ups and downs, A&
Chapter 58Elena Claw Wolfs ~Am I truly the cause of Alessia’s pain?The longer I stay here debating on how to get to the supernatural world, the longer her pain persists just because Cassius is using her as a pawn in his evil scheme to get to me. He probably can’t come to this world so he wants me to come to him instead.“Don’t worry yourself too much. She’ll be fine. If we make careless and not well thought of plans, we’ll end up putting your life and even hers in a far greater risk with Cassius.” Gar assured placing his hands on my shoulder as he stood behind me.His touch is so comforting.“He’s right. Alessia is far stronger than Cassius knows. It’ll take more than just glass blades to break her. She loves you more than I can say and will be willing to endure it all just for you to be safe from Cassius’ claws.” Sofia confirmed with a smile.“It’s
Chapter 59Elena Claw Wolfs ~I teleported myself and my mom to our home only to meet it in an appalling state. The lycans made body shaped holes in the walls probably when they were coming out of the house but what really shocked me the most was the sight of a bottle and what it contained when my eyes drafted to it. It was erected on the living room's centre table.Ryan.I don't know how but he's here in a bottle or was it a jar? I couldn't tell the exact difference."What should we do now?" I asked turning to my mom. "I don't think I have enough control over my magic yet to undo whatever Cassius did to him and we can't just leave him like this. Who knows, maybe he has answers as to where there's a blood bank in town." I urged holding the container in my hands.I looked into it and saw Ryan. He is seated inside the bottle helpless and extremely small in size. How is that even possible say more of happening? I'm guessing we have the lycans t
Chapter 60Elena Claw Wolfs"What do you mean by it's in a coven under the statue of liberty? Couldn't they have found somewhere closer on land to establish a blood bank?" I asked Ryan in rising intonations."You guys must really be in need of a portal, aren't you? I'm sorry but that's the only one here in New York City. The vampyres have to keep the existence of supernatural creatures a secret and staying hidden from the society of humans is the only way." Ryan pointed not that it made any difference.The statue of liberty is far off the shores of the city. I could try teleporting all of us there but on getting there, how do we hope to get inside the coven?"Elena, knowing that there's one in town is good news already. Don't worry yourself about how we would get there in time." My mm encouraged almost like she could read my thoughts. "You have to calm yourself down." she added turning to hold my shoulder. "Look at what you're doing!"I real
Chapter 61Elena Claw Wolfs ~"Is something wrong?" I heard my mom ask with a calm tone."No!" I replied sharply still not wanting to admit my present state of weakness.Sofia must've noticed I am taking to long to cast the spell as I usually would. I closed my eyes tighter and took a deep breath inwards. I snapped a finger against another and when I opened my eyes, I was expecting to be at Charlie's front porch but I wasn't."Just in time." I heard Charlie say resting a duffel bag behind his shoulder.The spell didn't take me to him. Instead, it brought them to me. Charlie and Gar. They were standing in the living room few paces from where we stood in better clothes and a duffel bag in each hand."Since, we're here, I presume it's either you've found what you were looking for and we're here so you can lead us to it or was this unintentional?" Gar asked putting down his duffel bag on the ground and walked up to me with his hands in hi
Chapter 62Sofia Xanders ~I looked at Ryan. Even though I was worried that there's a huge possibility this isn't going to work out, I trusted his words. After all, he has been making good use of his time here in the human world well enough to know things about my own people here that I don't. Unlike me who spends every second of being here raising my best-friend's daughter.I nodded my head and changed my negative worries into positive hopes. Ryan must be right."I am here with Ryan McFlame." I shouted out. "I am here with Ryan McFlame! I am here with Ryan McFlame! The last phoenix and I am Sofia Xanders!"I stared at the waters hoping to see someone just as Ryan had said but there was no one. Gar and Charlie kept dashing worried glances at me but I had no words for them."How is she holding up?" I asked turning to Gar."She's freezing. We have to get her out of here to somewhere she won't be so cold." Gar replied adjusting the cloth
Chapter 63Sofia Xanders ~"Open the barriers!" Samuel ordered with a loud voice when we had walked and are now a few paces from the statue of liberty. "Welcome, your majesty, to Blood Bank Number 20, 896.B."The magical barrier keeping the blood bank under a cloak came down and we continued walking towards the statue."I heard from a very reliable source that before you brought the trybrid child into this world, you had never set foot in it." Samuel pointed out. "If not for the reason of how urgent your mission back home is, I would have loved to show you all around the coven.""Hey, Red's mom, we have to hurry things up some more." Charlie said giving me a gentle tap on the shoulder. "We have no more than forty minutes.""Commander, I acknowledge you generous offer but however, we really need to get to the portal so if you don't mind, skip the whole introduction and just take us to it." I said with a soft tone but at the same time, m
Chapter 64Sofia Xanders ~I may be human but that's not going to stop me from being there for Red... Elena. NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF THE COMMON MAN. Red has been my best friend for as long as I can remember. I'm not leaving her in a time she really needs me." "This must be what magic feels like? I can feel the tingly sensation at my fingertips. The blowing air makes everything look different. This would make for a great story." Charlie commented with the portal in front of him."Your turn, your Majesty." The commander reminded.Sam's irises went vampyre blue and his physique became more built."Are you going to go in or do I have to go in first?" Ryan stormed still in the cup in my hands.I walked into the portal with my eyes closed. A rush of power flowed through me as I emerged at the other end.Sixteen years ago, I was forced by circumstances to leave my mate, my beloved home world and my people as well as everything I had
Chapter 65Sofia Xanders ~Ryan's control over the element of fire gives us the upper foot against the lycan guards. If we happen to encounter Cassius, I'll leave the commander and his skillful vampyre warriors to distract him long enough for us to get Alessia off his clutches. It's been sixteen years since I last got involved with Cassius. I know he must have gotten stronger and more heartless than before.The flames burnt Ryan's body to ash and out of the ashes, Ryan was formed. With the same speed that the flames began regenerating Ryan, they parted till none was left. I meddled with the flames using my witch magic so Ryan could have some decent clothes one when he gets reborn."Perfect.""I don't remember you being this tall." Commander Sam alleged."Finally. I'm big again. Thanks for the clothes Soph." Ryan said checking himself out. "Now that my powers are working fine, let's go rescue Alessia from that abomination.""You can tu
