Alexis walked over to her brothers. The cut on her lip had already healed, but her face still stung from being slapped several times.Gore roared out before shifting back into his human form, "they wanted Harlow.""Why would they want a baby?" Derek frowned.Gore shook his head. "I left her in my office. I'm going to make sure she is ok."All Gore knew was if witches and vampires were working together to come after Harlow, it meant serious trouble.Gore tried to reach for the child, but she only backed herself more under the desk, crying, "bat wot."He didn't blame her for being afraid of him. Seeing his wolf form must have been terrifying for her."No Harlow, I won't hurt you." He reached out a hand for her again."No." She screamed louder.Gore felt a small shock running through his body."Please Harlow, I will never hurt you, no bad wolf, it's me Gore." He plead.She stopped crying to look up at him."Gor," she blinked, then she slowly walked towards him.He sighed, hugging her to
"Wow, did Harlow make this?" Derek placed his hand on the force field, then to test how solid it was, he gave it a punch. He groaned out from the impact, which almost broke the bones in his hand.Harlow turned her head slowly to look at Derek, ''bad,'' She said.Karina could see everyone looking on with slackened faces. Most seemed impressed that a baby made something like that. But she knew they were skeptic, few of them weren't so accepting of Harlow to their pack. And now with so much things surrounding her, she was sure they would start talking. She tried to figure out how to get inside so they could assist Gore, but she was on the alert again. The least they needed now was another surprised attack.Gore looked at Harlow as the force field stayed up around them."H-how are you doing this?" He tried to sit up but couldn't. His chest erupted with pain, and now, with each breath, he felt worse."Gurt?" Harlow tried to touch him, but her glowing palms burnt his skin. She pulled her
Gore opened his eyes to the raising sun, and the feeling of being watched.“Gurt!" Harlow was excited to see him awake.He leaned his head slightly to the left to look at the smiling child.“Gurt!" She jumped on him, causing him to wince."Harlow," he grunted out, his chest still hurt, and his wound hadn't healed yet.She smiled at him, still sitting on his chest."Easy on him Harlow," Karina pulled her off Gore's chest, then pushed her gently out the door."Go check up on Johan, I'm sure she wants to see your face and play," Karina told her.Harlow pouted, but didn't try to enter the room again."Don't let her back in here. I don't want her to see me like this. Weak and broken." Gore managed out.Karina rolled her eyes at her brother, "even the strong have to fall down sometimes."Gore lay back down, closing his eyes. “How did she know I was hurt?"Karina shook her head, "I don't know, but she was trying to tell me you were in danger all along, maybe if I had listened to her-"Gore g
"Pretty kitty," Harlow said, holding up the cat for Gore to see.He did a double take, then got up from his desk in shock."Harlow! What did you do?"Harlow laughed, still holding up the cat, which was no longer white, but completely red, and so was Harlow.Gore sighed, remembering when Alexis was younger. He used to help take care of her, but she wasn't as much trouble as Harlow."You are quite a handful, you know that?" Gore picked her up."Han pul," Harlow said, as he carried her to her room."Why is she red?" Alexis looked up, even though she was busy texting away. She couldn't miss the red Harlow in Gore’s hand as he passed by.She took a quick picture, then sent it to everyone in the household, then followed behind Gore.Before pushing the door open, he took a deep breath."Oh my gosh! Wow, Harlow definitely let loose in here." Alexis laughed after looking around.The child's room was a colourful mess. The floors, walls, and ceiling were an array of different colours.The bed wa
After getting ready, Gore went downstairs to join the festivities. He made sure to stay in the corner by himself, hiding from the females and there wondering eyes.But they only seemed to be more interested in him than anything else and came for him instead of the party. All the young unmated female flocked around him, hanging on to everything he said as he spoke with a friend of his.There was this one specific female who didn’t leave his side when all the others did. Terra, she was all over him. And would brush her hands at the front of his pants by ‘accident.’Gore brushed her aside to take a seat. He was hoping she would take a hint, but she stuck to him like a leech."So Gore, what do you say we skip this party? Maybe go back to your room?" She ran a hand up his thigh.‘’How about you pester someone else.’’ Gore pushed her away, but she kept trying."Do you want cake?" Harlow asked, as she walked over to Gore.Terra still had her hands on Gore, not caring if Harlow saw what she w
Harlow managed her way around Johan by using her powers to make her fall asleep, then left the room."What are we going to do when the rest of the pack finds out that she is a vampire? They had a hard time accepting her as a witch." Karina said.Harlow sat on the top of the stairs, listening as they tried to figure out what to do with her."I knew that we shouldn't have kept her," George put in.Gore growled at him. "Don't go there, father."He backed away from his son and closer to his wife.Harlow begun to cry then ran down the stairs, "please don't send me away, I will be good. I promise."She ran into the room, almost falling over. Derek had to help to steady her."Have you been listening to us?" Gore scolded down at her.Harlow nodded with a pout. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I was hungry and snowball said that it was ok if I drank blood because I am a vampire. I don't want to be bad. I don't want to go away. I won't do it again."Karina knelt in front of her. “We will never sen
Just as Harlow was about to attack Derek, Gore walked between them, pushing them apart."Hey." Harlow complained."Harlow, why are you here?" Gore asked.She crossed her arms, "for training," she smiled.Derek snorted, "don't you mean for Timothy?"Harlow opened her mouth then closed it again, not knowing what to say, because she was there to see Timothy.Derek winked at her after seeing her moment of pause.Ever since she was a baby, she could smell her mate, a cinnamon scent mixed with the forest. She hoped every day that it would be Timothy, seeing that they both liked each other so much."You are not training with us," Gore said, bringing Harlow out of her thought."What? What do you mean by not training with you? I'm a part of the pack too." She huffed.Gore turned his eyes to her. “You know what I mean. Now go to your room."Harlow stomped her foot, "that's not fair, I am more than capable of training with you. Maybe you're scared I'll kick your a — kick your b-, beating you up
"You little punk, I hope you trip and fall." Derek hissed at her.Knowing that she was pissing Derek off, Harlow rolled her eyes at him, then made faces by use of her powers."I'm not the one with two left feet, Derek. Besides, I'm a vampire, so I'm more coordinated than you."Derek only scoffed instead of answering her."Harlow, aren't you excited? In less than two weeks, you will be able to find her mate." Johan said, walking backwards as well, falling into pace with her."I am, I just hope that he is what I always imagined him to be." Harlow said, in a dreamy voice.Derek wiggled his brows, ready to cause trouble. "I bet Timothy is your mate."Johan and Harlow squealed out at the mention of his name.Timothy smiled before saying. "I wouldn't mind having Harlow as my mate. She’s awesome." Then he winked at her.That caused them to squeal more, and Harlow to blush, which was something she hardly did. But she couldn’t help it. Timothy was only cute, but he was also smart and sweet.Wh
"Be nice to your sister," Horatio scolded their son Shawn, who pushed Hazel down, but picked her up and brushed off her jeans after getting into trouble.Leo snuck up behind them, jumping on Shawn's back."Hey," Shawn cried out, falling to the ground.Hazel laughed, jumping on him as well.Out of nowhere, Skylar joined the pile."Leave them, they are just playing." Scarlet stopped Horatio when he tried to get up.Their children were six years old now but acted much older."Leo reminds me of you." Horatio kissed Scarlet softly on her lips."Eww!" the quadruplets said together.Looking away from their parents, Shawn covered his eyes, while his siblings giggled.Scarlet smiled at them. "May said that Hazel looks just like my mom. And I think Leo looks like you. The only thing is, he has red hair.""Umm," was Horatio's only reply."Shawn looks like me as well, but with a little mix of your features," he said, kissing the top of her head."We sure make lovely children." Horatio kissed Scar
"Kera, are you ok?" Scarlet touched her shoulder to feel it shaking."No, my father killed my mother. He then lied that Horatio was the one who had done it. Why would he do that?" Kera cried.Horatio leaned his head to the side. "Matthew killed Catherine? I thought-" he paused to think about it."He told me she went out to seek some information. When your mother didn't return, he went to look for her, then later came back saying she was dead." Horatio placed a hand on her shoulder."I'm sorry that this happened to you, and I never had a hand in the death of your mother."Kera wiped at her nose. "I know you don't. I saw when he did it in their room. He said he saw you leaving the room and that I mustn't trust you, but he didn't know I saw the entire thing, he must have read my mind and that's why he took me to Magnus, but why did he kill mom?" Kera sobbed. "He never taught me anything. Mom was the one to always tell things and show me how to use my powers, so why did he kill her?""This
Scarlet made her way to the crystal cave, to put the red crystal back in its place and cast a spell so that no one can ever reach it again.She also hoped that it would restore the village to what it once was when it was back in its place.Scarlet, Kera, Elijah, and May had gone ahead of the others after the cave refused their entrance. "Hey, May. Remember, you said an ancestor of mine might be from this clan? Is that why the cave allowed me to enter with you?" Kera asked. Elijah glanced at her, noticing that after the war three days ago, and all the training with Scarlet, she was much braver and more confident now. Scarlet asked the river nymphs for entrance, but they start playing around, splashing her with water. "You little." Scarlet cast a spell, making a gigantic wave that washed the nymphs ashore."Scarlet!" May scolded her.Scarlet stopped laughing and helped them back into the water. "Scarlet that was so totally not nice, not cool at all." A nymph told her. Then the stai
April placed a hand over her mouth as she dodged a warlock's fist, then vaporized. Scarlet stood up suddenly. "This all ends now." She began to draw energy from the earth, then let it out. Everyone was thrown off their feet, while it dissolved most of the enemies into nothing. Those who were still stupid enough to run at her got blasted while her dragons had also changed into beings more malevolent, letting out purple and black fire, burning everything. April traced over to Elijah. "We have to stop her before she kills everyone." Elijah gulped. "But she seems demonic."April pinned him with a look. "You're just as strong. Come on." She dragged him off to where Scarlet was. April told him what to do.Elijah grabbed a hold of Scarlet's hand and start chanting some words, feeling the energy rolling from her to him. He directed it to the sky, blocking out the moon.Scarlet fell to the ground, then got up quickly, snarling at April and Elijah. She groaned, holding her head, looking
Nikki let out a cry, her sword sliced right through Matthew as if he was made of butter. His body fell to the ground in two halves, and his face now had a peaceful smile as if that was what he wanted all along.Nikki let out another cry.She walked over to where Kera lay and noticed that the hole in her body was getting smaller and smaller.Kera groaned before sitting up. Nikki gasped. "Kera, you're alive, how is that possible?" Kera looked down at her body in shock. "Did Scarlet teach you how to do that?'' Nikki laughed. Kera shook her head still looking at her body. "No, but the crystals she had us plant yesterday worked, so none of us will die." "But what about those who come to fight us?" Nikki asked, helping Kera to her feet."Scarlet only cares about us, not them, and now is not the time for chit-chat. We are in the middle of a war." "Right," Nikki nodded. "Let's go," Kera smiled, and together they ran after some elves, who ran away screaming. ****Elijah was holding his
When they got to the top of the hill, Kera gulped from beside Elijah, who was too engrossed by the strange glow the red moon cast down on them. The place seemed even more sinister than on any other night. The place was also silent and all he could do was wait until the enemies break the line."Do you think Murmalaid would have helped us out in this situation?" Kera asked.Elijah glanced down at her. "No, because things have changed, but even then, I doubt the fates or gods would have let her interfere. There are no more humans to worry about."Kera nodded. "I guess you are right."Scarlet looked over at her brother, giving him a smile because of how brave he was. When she looked back out, she could see the flames that had engulfed parts of the village."It's a good thing we thought of evacuating the village and an even better idea to have our people set up out there."Horatio held her hand."It is a good thing Miley isn't here to see all this. She would be crying by now." Nikki joked,
I sat on the window seat looking outside; I remembered the rain falling hard that day and with it came this horrible feeling I have been feeling for to month now. Selina thought that we should go to the beach. It was her way of trying to cheer me up, but for whatever reason, I didn't want to leave the house, because my mind was telling me that something bad will happen. Selina left me alone after seeing that there was nothing she could do to cheer me up and I went to lie on my bed, thinking that sleep would help. But suddenly there came crashes and screams from downstairs, which I paid no attention to, thinking that it was just someone doing a spell because it was always like that there. We were crazy and always did experiments, so I lay there until a young witch by the name of Cari burst into the room. She was bloody and crying. I looked at her with wide eyes, but before I could go to her, a tall shadow appear in the doorway. The vampire grabbed her by the shoulder, then he bit
Scarlet blinked a few times, only to see that Miley was waving a hand in front of her face. "Are you alright?" Horatio cupped her face in his hands. "Yes, just a memory that had me lost in time." Horatio kissed her and leaned his forehead on hers. Miley came up the hill after. She waited until Horatio moved away before she spoke. "Scarlet, are we still going to have training with you?" Miley asked. Scarlet had a distant look on her face, but she quickly shook it off. "Shouldn't we be training with them, too?" She heard October asking Alistair. "We don't need it," he replied. "Cocky, I like your confidence, vampire, or is it cowardice?" Horatio asked. Gore chuckled. "I can take both of you with my hands behind my back," Alistair told them, then removed his helmet. "Oh there pretty boy, don't want to mess up your hair or get a bruise on your face now, do we?" Horatio mocked. Scarlet glanced at her mate, wondering why he insisted on picking a fight with her vampire. She the
"I don't think this will end well. Some of these guys seem as if they will go at it any moment now," Kate said. And she was right. The tension in the manor was thick, and it wasn't from the pending war. But just from lores being around other lores, they didn't trust. A few more Lores, mostly witches, warlocks, and vampires, had arrived during the time Scarlet was setting up the crystals, which set the wolves on edge and even had a few questioning things. "Are we sure this isn't a setup?" Carmela asked when a warlock who was covered from head to toe in tattoos and piercings walked by her. Kate stared at the man, interested in the iron bars that ran through the bone in his nose, the rings in his brows, and the finger bone that was dangling from his ear. "Yeah, and I don't think I have enough arrow if shit should go sideways. "Don't worry, I don't attack those that are weaker than me." The warlock stopped to say. "Yeah, besides, we are only here because we are excited about the wa
