Episode 5

EPISODE 5 : ACCEPTING FATE

I came home from the academy, Ava's still grounded, and Nanny complained bitterly of how bitchy my sister had been since she's been locked up in the time-out room.

"Nanny, Did that go out for his meeting?". 

I sit across from the kitchen, asking her.

"Yeah! But he wants you and Ava to get dressed for tonight's ball party.". 

She flips the other side of the pancake, stopping it from burning. .

"Oh! Did he give any other instructions?". 

I asked her on Ava's behalf.

"Yea! She has to come for the party, doesn't she?". She left a glass of freshly squeezed juice on the glass table in front of her and left.

I had dinner alone because Ava was still locked upstairs. I wanted to bring something for her, but I had to refrain from doing that because of her behavior this morning.

Ava's my sister, but sometimes I have evil thoughts I'd like to share with her.

 

"Good evening, Dad."

I meet dad by the door, welcoming guests.

"Baby! You're looking beautiful." She wraps his fatherly hand around my waist and pulls me close.

We were standing next to each other when Ava rolled down the stairs with her unusual dress style, which happens to be black.

 

"Good evening, dad!" She looks at me, " hello , sister!". Her hands were covered in fur gloves.

 

"Ava! You're..... Different". Dad hesitates, as he wasn't able to find the right word to describe my sister's sudden change in her fashion sense. 

We always wear matching outfits, but it will seem tonight that Ava wishes to be different.

 

"Thanks, Daddy, bye!!" 

She wiggled her fingers and walked away.

Her friends had just arrived, and I cannot wait to see how they ruin tonight's party, like they always do.

 

"Ada, please keep an eye on your sister for me.". 

Dad hands over the duty of babysitting Ava for the night.

He walks away, warmly welcoming the leaders of the other werewolf packs.

"Hey! I'm sorry, I'm late.". 

Susa arrived shortly after I had my last visual on Ava. I really wonder where she has gone, and I hope she doesn't do anything stupid, at least not today.

 

Susa helped me make sure that everyone was having a good time, and Dad, being the host, is occupied with other Alphas discussing werewolves and all things hairy.

 

Ava, whom I was asked to look after, seemed to have disappeared. She's this stubborn and rebellious because it is the only way to trigger Dad, and he becomes infuriated by her.

 

 

"Are you sure Ava is here?". 

Susa asked me while we engaged further into the forests.

Dad owns a huge mansion, which happens to be in the center of a bushy forest with huge trees.

 

"I'm sure she should be at the lake. Skinny-dipping with her friends".

I left Susa behind, searching for my sister.

 

We arrive at the lake, and Ava wasn't there, and there was never any trace that might link me to her being here before.

 

"Okay! Let's go; she isn't here.". 

Susa panicked and grabbed my hand, hurting me with her claw. 

"Damn! Calm down". I removed her hand, caressing mine.

"Sorry, I have a bad feeling about this.". 

She starmmered and was to head back to the mansion. At least it was where the others were.

 

I couldn't find Ava, and so we went back to the party. Dad saw me coming back to the party, and he called me over, introducing me to his friends.

Right there, I saw Ava outside the pool smoking with her friends. If Dad or anyone else sees this, it will become a rotting scene.

 

I excused myself from continuing to be introduced by Dad and went straight to Ava, sitting on the ledge.

 

"Aww! Did you come to yell at me?". 

She sassly asked me.

"Hmm! Really?". I took the cigarette from her hand and said, "Get up and let's go inside." I said it authoritatively.

 

Ava laughs..

"Aww! Don't fucking act like my mother!?". 

She says her voice breaks at the start but gets audacious at the end.

 

"Then don't make me? You're not a child, Ava; fucking grow up!". 

I finally yelled at her; at least that's the only way she listens.

 

She stands and wants to respond to me, but she couldn't when Nanny interrupted.

 

"Your dad wants you both back inside.". 

She eyed the both of us, disappointed at our departure.

 

I went in after Nanny.

Dad approaches the podium, and he calls out to Witch Alana.

Alana has been a seeer for the clan and one of the very few who knew stories about my late mother.

 

Witch Alana is taken to the podium with a little bit of assistance because she is kind of old and wouldn't be able to climb the podium all by herself.

People speculate that she's "a thousand years old." 

 

"I'd like to call my daughters's, Ava and Ada, to the podium.". 

Shortly after, Dad calls out to my sister and me.

She walks to the podium, and I follow her behind.

 

We were asked to stand next to each other and forced to ogle at the faces of the guests invited to this evening's ball.

However, with Witch Alana's arrival, I do not think tonight's going to be just a party. 

 

 

"Ava, step forward and extend your hand to the witch, Alana.". .

Dad gave specific instructions, and the same was extended to me.

I extended my hand out to the witch, and she grabbed it. Not too hard, but I could sense something strange happening inside of my body.

 

"Ada! You're just like your mother.". 

Witch Alana's says after quietly examining me.

She brought me over to Dad and asked me to kneel down.

I was stunned, and so was Ava.

"I'm sorry, what is happening?".

She couldn't refrain from asking her, and I also wanted to know the truth.

Witch Alana pulls away and confronts my sister.

"Ava! I know this might come as a shock to you, but..." She gains approval from Dad before continuing to say, "Starting today, Ada is going to become the chosen one." 

"Choosen one? I don't understand.". Ava angrily raises her voice. 

"Ava? Dear". Sadness came upon her face. "Before you and Ada's arrival, a prophecy has been forseen that one of the twins will become the Tribrid; she'll bridge the gap between the three realms." She gains that's dad's approval again and then continues, "The werewolf realms, the realm of the vampire, and the witches realm, as the Tribrid."

Everyone is stunned by the discovery.

I couldn't believe my ears, and neither did anyone else suspect that I would someday become the chosen one. 

The Tribrid helps the three realms, protecting them from evil. I should guess that the hunters are also an arc of evil I need to protect my people from.

QUESTION OF THE DAY.

Everyone feels overwhelmed by the shocking news, but how's Ava going to react to her sister's becoming a tribrid with powers beyond her control?.
