Elora enters the dungeon. Seeing a body tied with chains. Hanging loosely.
Sighing,she steps closer to him. To find him awake.
"Hi Daniel. It's been long."
Daniel barely nods. Seeing the girl he saw as a kid all grown up. Her face , resurfacing the memories of the past making him clench the chains that held him .
Standing in front of him, she places her hands in her pant pockets. Looking at the man whose rugged face has grown wrinkles over the years.
Grey hairs showing in his beard, yet those eyes. Still the same cold and emotionless.
"Now they send you to seek the information? You guys are really adamant."
Elora doesn't argue. Pulling a chair, she settles on it. Crossing one leg over the other.
"We have to be Daniel. You see the spirit of the death wolf is rising again. And you of all know, we would hate to have that bloodshed again."
Alexandria's povYou know there are times in one's life,when you feel that you never hurted anyone, you never intentionally harmed anyone, then how come such a fate can be bestowed upon you?When you think life can't be this unfair.When you have every reason to doubt the creator and his sense of justice, yet you can't.You still trust that divine power no matter what.And it was me thinking this,as I see the wolves with red eyes closing in on me, surrounding me from all the directions.I was breathing heavily as their snouts come closer ,my eyes fixed on their leaders shining red orbs.How is it possible?They all looked like normal wolves, except for those eyes. Why are they red? Do they have a disease?They need you.
Silas's povI lift myself up from the bed, looking around to find myself in my room.Sweat running down my forehead and my vision still a little hazy."Your majesty! You are awake! How do you feel now?"One of the maids asks, bringing in a bowl filled with ice cubes and water."What happened to me?"I ask, when a sharp pain hits me skull and I literally hold my forehead. Letting out a groan."You were having very high fever Alpha."Suddenly I remember , Alexandria rejecting me and leaving. And every cell in my body froze.No...I can't let this happen! She can't reject me dammit!I have to her her back! Where did she go all alone! Why did she steal the red book!Fuc*! The mysterious forest! She went there!Dammit! Little one! How can you go there alone!No. I have to go and save her! I can't let her die!Removing the comforter, I wa
"Th- ora?"He says in disbelief. Moving up his hand to touch me, to only stop.Looking down and clenching his hands in fists. His expression changing suddenly.From hope to dispair."You knew my mother right? "I ask, searching his eyes for the truth. To only see him get up, his hands trembling like he was hyperventilating.No...no...It can't be...Talking to himself, he keeps shaking his head in a no. Lost in his own thoughts. To only step back from me and rush to a empty room in a corner.Slamming the door shut after him.I look at the man confused. Is he crazy? What's wrong with him?I waited for him to come out. To tell me what's wrong but he didn't. Feeling too tired because of the injuries, I just lay back on the bed. Looking at the ceiling.....It was nightime now
Alexandria's povFetch waterThe voice guides me along as I am almost able to make Dad stable.If it wasn't for this voice in my head, I don't know what would have happened.Who are you? How can I hear you?I ask . Hoping for an answer. To only hear an irritated groan.You will know. Very soon.Fine! I don't know what's the need for the suspense. Ignoring it, I pick up an empty bucket.I think there should be a stream or a river nearby. I can hear the sound of water from here.Looking at him all bandaged, I sigh. To look outside at the forest surrounding us.I guess I have no choice....I have been following the voice and surprisingly, I found myself very close to a stream.I was busy filling the bucke
Alexandria's grip on Silas was loosening, yet he refused to let go. Holding onto her wrist tightly."It's... it's too powerful Si...las"..."Hold on little one."He says, trying his best. Despite knowing that death wolves power surpassed his in every senseIt this was bad, it got worse.Her mouth went dry as she saw a number of wolves coming towards them from behind Silas. Their eyes blood red, as they took slow steps towards him."Si ..las. they....""Look at me Alex. Just look at me"Her grip on him was loosening. As she moves her head in a no. Afraid for him. But he didn't seemed to care."Silas! They are behind you!"Alexandria screamed. And before Silas knows, the wolves lunged forward to get hold of his leg. Making an excruciating pain to enrapture.But he doesn't show.
2000 years agoBeginning of lives is a mystery and so was the beginning of werewolves. Adaptation was the key. As those who adapted survived, but those who couldn't perished.The birth of human ,after prolonged ages of adaptations was a know fact. Yet what about the adaptations that failed?What about those who adapted , but couldn't do it completely.What about those exceptional few stuck in between?You are right. Those were the werewolves.The first half human, half wolves.A failed beings who couldn't adapt fully, yet who did a miracle of surviving.A Prodigy.Yet,not everyone had such beliefs. The gods couldn't let something survive, which couldn't develop fully into human beings.
Silas's povI place the rogue tendril of her hair, behind her ear. Placing her cheek on my chest. To lean my back on the tree bark behind.Looking up at the stars. Wondering why my fate was to be like this?I don't want to loose her. But I know. I will loose her one day.The burning rising up my thigh and the throbbing pain in my head told me. It was impossible for me to survive this.The wolves that attacked me were not normal wolves.They were the ones controlled by death wolf.Their red eyes, a testimony to it.And their bite was not normal.Once they infuse their blood into one's system. The death Wolves poison spreads slowly into the person's self.Till they finally become a puppet of his.Till their souls get controlled by the death wolf.I don't how much time will it take, but considering I was attacked badly.It will be less
Alexandria's povI haven't experienced much in my life before.Living with Dad, having a simple life.Till recently, when everything has changed so drastically.Everything that has happened, opened my eyes to this world's new realities. It has unveiled a lot of secrets and a lot were yet to be relieved.And amongst all these things, one thing is there that has changed inside me.This strange feeling in my chest.This heaviness.As I stare at his closed eyes. His breaths heavy. Dipping the washcloth in cold water, I place it on his forehead. Seeing the creases on his forehead disappearing.He is burning in fever, again. As the poison is spreading in his body and his body is resisting it.Dad said the potion will slower down the speed.B
