ANDERSI heard a voice, calling out to me. It was Zara's. She was drowning in an ocean. Her hand reached out to me as she kept calling my name and asking me to save her.I opened my eyes and realized I was in a cave. My memories came back to me in a rush and almost immediately, I began to feel dizzy again. I looked in front and saw the plant that had brought me to the cave. It had the antidote I so badly wanted.My Zara, I could not let her down. I began to move slowly, crawling with my arms while ignoring the pain in my body. I kept moving as my head kept spinning until I finally got to the plant. I reached out my hand and plucked a handful of the leaves, squeezed it, and rubbed it on the part of my body where I had been stabbed. After that, I turned and lay on my back, waiting for my wound to heal. I wasn't a werewolf and that was a disadvantage at this point. It was going to take a long time for me to heal but time was what I did not have because I needed to get to Zara. Also, o
ANDERSI heard someone cough and my eyes instantly shot open. It wasn't me, so I knew it had to be Zara because there was no one else around. I instantly got up and stared at her, she was trying to open her eyes but the rain made it impossible.I quickly checked her pulse and realized she was alive. I opened her wound and saw that she had healed and was no longer bleeding. She turned to look at me and opened her eyes. As she stared at me, I asked, "Can you move?" She nodded and I helped her up from the ground, slowly and carefully. I held her hand as we began walking towards one of the caves. I couldn't let her walk for long because I knew that she was very weak, weaker than I was.It was almost getting dark and we needed cover, so when we saw a cave, we went inside and both laid on the ground.I kept holding onto her hand as we lay with our backs on the floor. She turned and stared at me and I stared at her as well. Tears fell from the corner of her eyes and we kept staring at each
ANDERSI opened my eyes in the morning and stretched my body. I was in a much better condition, fit to resume our journey and I knew Zara was too. I looked around me but there was no sign of her.I came out of the cave but I still did not see her. I knew she must be around. If anything had happened while I slept, Zara would have made me aware. We also had some fruits left with us so there was no need for her to go out looking for food.I followed her scent and it led me back into the cave. I kept going deeper and deeper until I noticed an opening on the other end of the cave. I heard the sounds of water falling and quickly went out through the opening.I was greeted with the sight of an amazing waterfall but much better than that was a perfect sight; an unclad Zara. Having become aware of my presence, she turned and smiled at me before turning her attention back to the water. She looked exquisite as the water trickled down her body and when she turned once again and stared at me, I
ZARAI turned when I heard my name and realized that more werewolves had arrived. I recognized a few of them from the last time I came to the waterfall with Brandon. The werewolf who called my name stared at me in surprise and asked again, "Zara, right?" I smiled and replied, "Hi, yes, it's me."The werewolf who was about to confirm if Anders was a werewolf as well turned and asked him, "You know her?" The other werewolf said, "Yes, I know her very well. She has been here before. Actually, she came with a different werewolf from her pack. I think his name was Brandon. am I right?" I nodded and said, "Yes, it was." The werewolf smiled and continued speaking to the others, "I learned from him that he is the leader of all the warriors in her pack, and she is the daughter of the alpha.I was really impressed to see the daughter of an alpha being a warrior. That was why I was very friendly and got to know their names." The werewolf who wanted to check Anders finally nodded as he seeme
ANDERSWe arrived at the werewolf pack and I took out some money from our bag. We still had enough since we hadn't spent much of it. Zara and I bought a lot of foodstuffs to carry us for the next two weeks. I bought different fruit seeds, got another bag, and filled it with the foodstuffs we bought. When we were done at the market, we were about to leave when many werewolves who were warriors began to arrive from outside the gate.Zara let go of my hand instantly as we noticed that everyone who was in the market square was gathering in one corner. Zara said, "Let's back up, Anders, and move inside the crowd so no one will notice us." Zara and I began moving deep into the crowd to avoid attention. There were many warriors and they seemed to be very strong.Zara was moving right behind me when I heard a voice say, "Stop right there." I continued moving, but Zara stopped. When she turned, the werewolf who was leading the other werewolves pointed at her. When I turned and saw him, I in
ANDERS"I'm surprised you refused to bring him along with us," I said to Zara. "What do you mean?" She asked. I replied, "I mean, for a moment there, I thought you were going to say to that rogue, 'Alright, come on and be a part of our team'." Zara smiled and said, "Okay, we can continue to run now."So, we began to run again, and this time, we didn't stop until we finally crossed the bridge that led to the East. We had been running for three hours and were both very hungry. Zara stared at me and said, "We are finally here. What do we do?"I sighed, "Those werewolves that you killed earlier, I mean those three sons of the alpha. Their pack might be out for revenge, so they might be searching for us. We still need to be very careful. What I'll advise is that we run along the bushes and avoid the roads." Zara nodded, "Okay but, I need to rest for a little while. I'm tired."I stared at her and became worried, "You seem to be getting tired lately. I mean, I know we're running, but c
BRANDONWe had been traveling for days, but we had yet to get the results we were looking for. After thoroughly searching the North, we finally stumbled upon a scene of dead werewolves with arrows embedded in their bodies. I instantly recognized them as Zara's because each pack had a different head color and a different way its arrows were designed. Now I knew we were headed in the right direction.Since we had almost covered the North, I was worried that Zara wasn't here and we weren't going to find her. But now that I'd seen her arrows, I knew that she wasn't far away. We began to search all around. Finally, we saw a werewolf in the bushes who was recuperating.The moment I saw him, I knew he was stabbed with an arrow. I moved closer to him, but he was so afraid. "Don't worry. I will not harm you," I said to him because I realized he was a rogue. "I just need to know about the werewolf that shot these arrows. Where is she?"He stared at me and asked, "You're a werewolf too?" I sai
ZARAAnders and I finally arrived at the cliff. I looked around the deserted area in surprise. There were many cliffs around here, but the one Anders took me to seemed to be the most dangerous. The cliff was very steep, and when Anders had told me that it was about five hundred meters deep, I didn't really understand until I saw it for myself. I wondered how we were going to survive in this place. I stared at Anders and asked, "Anders, is this the place where you want us to set up our pack?"Anders smiled and replied, "Don't worry, Zara. I told you I had a plan, and I'm going to see it through. Let's do it just as we've agreed" After speaking, Anders picked up some sticks and quickly made a shade for me, asking me to wait. He looked at the cliff and said he wanted to descend it.I stared at him in surprise, "What? Anders, you just confirmed to me that this cliff is about five hundred meters high, and you want to descend it? No, no, no, Anders, it's too dangerous. What if.....""Rel
