Knock Knock- Who's there?

2024-10-29 19:42:56She scrutinised the Alpha wolf in awe, she had seen nothing like that.
It was thirty feet tall, with three inches canines, and paws as large as saucepans
Such huge stature, sharp claws and fierce nature were no match for smaller wolves like the Omega
On the opposite side stood the Omega wolves, numbering up to thirty
Despite being weaker, their courage stood out. Their eyes were resolute. Rose knew all the familiar faces from the Omega pack
"Ro..ose?" Carol called out. She had been laying still all along. She struggled to sit up
"Yes mom, you've got to lay still" Rose tried to keep her on her back
"There's an Alpha wolf out there Mom" she announced
"Help me sit, will you?" Carol leaned forward "I know and it's come to take you" Carol replied her fidgeting daughter calmly
Rose's eyes widened. The words were hard to chew on
"W.. what? But why mom? Why me?" Her voice shook, tear filled her eyes
"You have to be stronger than ever now darling, you'll need to fight" Carol held her shoulder
"How mother? I'm just a twenty one year old who doesn't know how to go about any of this. I'm not ready mom" Rose said helplessly
"You are. You've got it in you, the same extraordinary strength Alexander possessed. Don't be afraid" Carol pulled her close
"Mom!" She sobbed "I need you to help me out"
"I'll be gone any moment now, stay strong, for you and Jack" Carol urged her
"No" Rose shook her head vehemently
The screams and snarling outside faded slowly, then a loud growling followed
"Take Jack and hide. Now!" Carol commanded
Rose pulled her younger brother behind her, and made them squeeze through the closet.
"Don't come out, no matter what" Carol glanced at her children, this was probably the last time she was going to see them.
Rose nodded and shut the door of the closet carefully.
"I'm scared Rose" Jack said in a squeaky voice
She could imagine the torment his mind was going through at that moment
He was a child after all but wasn't she a child too? Her disposition towards the hardship she underwent pushed her into the arms of adulthood much faster
And ever since she beheld the little red-haired boy, she knew it was her duty to protect him.
She reached out her arm, circled it round his
shoulder and pulled him to herself
"It's going to be alright Jack, I promise" she assured
What did she know about the whole situation that gave her the audacity to make such a bold promise? Hope, despite everything, a strange beam of it filled her
A sound emerged, like the door was being ripped apart. She heard the plates shatter followed by a wild grunt
"It's here" Rose muttered silently, her body went numb in shock. Fear had literally embraced her.
"Wayne.. it's been fifteen years" Carol spoke more calmly than ever
"Carol" the beast said in Wolf Speak
"What were you really thinking by running off with the two of them to hide in such a vulnerable village?
Even if you wanted to hide, why choose the weakest pack of all?"
It dragged it's large feet to where the mirror hung and licked the blood that dripped from its claws
"You know, I really expected a real fight, some real action with some real wolves.
Not a catch-and-kill game with a bunch of domestic dogs. I literally mercy-killed all of them. Ha!" It's deep voice rang aloud in a horrific laughter.
"I am a mother with a heart, I did what I could to protect my own. That's something you'd never understand" Carol fired back
He gnawed, "I really wanted to save you, Carol. Was no fault of mine, Alexander was my best friend"
"And I was the girl you claimed you loved so much. We were perfect mates planning our lives together but Alexander got greedy as usual and desired to have me at all cost" Carol exhaled
"On that night when he forced his way with me, I cried and howled severally for you to come
And when you eventually came, what did you do? Stand in the shadows, watching
You chose your friendship with that animal over me!" Tears threatened to fall down Carol's face
"I saw you that night, nothing could have broken me more, not even the incident
All because Alexander was the Alpha's heir right? I conceived a child afterwards and was forced to be with him, you did nothing still.
You knew how quick he was to use me for his selfish ambitions and you consented, didn't you?" Carol shook her head
Rose held her breath almost all the way as she listened. This meant her mother knew the male werewolf from before
She sat there, closing Jack's ears shut, trying to make out what they said
"Everything we shared is buried in the past. I have no business with you anymore, Carol
I was instructed to take the children and murder you but for some reason, I'll spare you. Just hand them over to me and you can keep your life". The wolf gave an evil smile
"Oh Wayne" Carol smiled wryly
"You've always underestimated me, haven't you? I took them to a distant hideout as soon as I sensed your musky tail around
The last thing I would allow is watching you abduct my little werewolves for some crazy agenda" Carol spat in anger
"Carol!" It grumbled it's way to her bedside and stood in front of her
"You had better open up about where they are before I sink my fangs into your thin neck" Wayne threatened
"No…" Rose objected silently. She strained her ears to receive more
"I'd never spill that out and you know it, you'd have to kill me first. So go ahead" her voice stood out a little more
"Do what you've been told. It's what you're best at isn't it? Taking orders and executing them faithfully like a servant.
And that's what you'll ever be- a forsaken errand dog" she spat at him mockingly
"Grrrr!" Wayne grunted and took hold of Carol's neck. He ran with her in light's speed.

He pinned her to the wall with his claws"Mmm" Carol groaned in pain, struggling to break free from its choking claws, kicking her legs fervently high above the ground which she was held. "Mom's in danger, I have to do something" Rose pushed the door of the closet open and leaped out, Jack crawled behind her. "It's so tragic that it had to come to this Carol. I gave you a choice" It elevated it's sharp hand in the air attempting to strike "Let her go, you monster!" Rose advanced towards it with a sharp rod. Wayne turned his bright red eyes towards her and kicked the poor girl away before she had a chance to hit it"So you weren't that smart after all Carolyn? I knew I smelt other wolves in this room" he released his paws from Carol's neck and made towards the girl who lay writhing in pain.Carol fell hard to the floor and broke a leg. She gnashed her teeth in pain"I see that you got your mother's stubbornness" he pulled Rose up by her hair "Your mother's stubborn spirit is what

The elderly woman enquired "Vanessa is having it done ma mère" the lady answered.Rose took hold of every information she heard, the senior lady was called mother, maybe she birthed the two younger women. Among the two, the shorter one was referred to as Vanessa."Where do I place it?""Over to this side, child" Ma mère directed her. The slender maiden obeyed quietly and made for the door"Miriam?"

"My father?" she whispered. "You are my aunt?" Madame Gloria nodded. "Yes, my dear," she said. "Your mother never told you about me, but I assure you that I am telling the truth. I was separated from your father when we were children, and we were not reunited until many years later. By then, I knew that you and your mother were in hiding.

She felt Yseult's cold arm on her arm, she knew she couldn't keep the nightmares anymore to herself, even though she felt terrified. She peered into Yseult little eyes, and began "I was in a dark and empty room," Rose began, her voice shaking slightly. "It was cold, and I was alone.

Yseult had taught her the names of the herbs and their uses, and Rose had been impressed by the knowledge.
