Aspen

Eager as ever to go riding. After her father’s sparing match finishes, she takes off full speed to the stables. I chase after her and beat her to the stables. She swears one day she’ll beat me but I doubt that’ll happen anytime soon, unless Maliyah uses her powers to slow me down.

Maliyah is brushing Beauty down, while I brush Argo. I grab the blankets while Maliyah grabs her saddle, strapping it on Beauty. We lead the horses out of the stables and saddle up. We trot down the trail, listening to the wildlife and I can see the happiness on Maliyah’s face. She loves being out in nature and I understand that feeling. It’s calm and quiet. I hear a twig snap and I draw my bow, aiming at the brown wolf behind us.

“Wait! It’s River,” says Maliyah as I lower my bow.

“You realize I could’ve killed you River.” I shake my head at him as I put the arrow away.

“He says he’s sorry. He just wanted go for a run and figured he’d join us on the trail,” Maliyah relays.

“Fine by me. By the way, w

    Aspen By the time I finally catch up to the horses I hear howling in the distance. It’s River and he’s alerting there is danger. I look at the horses reins and realize they had been cut. I’ve been so stupid, I should’ve never left her alone. “Aspen!” I hear Maliyah calling me, panic in her voice. I race back to the river as fast as I can. Once I arrive at the spot we were swimming at, I see River unconscious and a huge man with Maliyah on his shoulders. Next to him is that bitch Carole. She has a sly grin as I rush towards them but I am not fast enough. The man must’ve been a warlock since they disappear just as I was about to tackle him. I end up on the ground and slam my fist down. “Maliyah!” I rush to River’s side and check on him. I pull out a dart and see several more littered on the ground. Being a dragon, it must’ve taken more than they though to put Maliyah down. Damn it, I shouldn’t have left her. Several guards show up along with Davina and Derek. River’s parents also arr

    MalayahJustin wasn’t kidding when he said he recovers quickly. He’s come back frequently to give me his strength and I can feel myself getting stronger each time he does. I have told him many times I don’t see the point of him healing me. I have no wolf to protect myself anymore, but he insists on continuing this so I’ll be ready to escape when my parents get here. I hope it’s soon.“Here Malayah, I snagged you some extra bread. You are owing to need your strength.”“Thank you Justin.”We hear yelling in the distance and it’s getting closer.“You need to go Justin. I don’t want them to catch you.” He takes my hand in his, again giving me his strength so I can get stronger. I give him a quick hug and push him to the door. I’ve tried several times to leave but I can tell it’s spelled so I can’t just like when I was grounded at home. Justin peaks his head out the door and takes off. I rush to sit on my bed as the voices get louder. I hear someone yelling orders and I jump when the doo

    I sit up and feel my heart racing. I am dripping in sweat and my body is shaking uncontrollably. I feel someone squeezing my body. When I look at who it is I burst into tears. “Malayah?” “It’s me, it’s me.” I squeeze her back, both of us crying. It’s been so long and I can’t remember the last time we embraced. I release her and begin checking her over. “Are you okay?” My eyes land on the necklace and I freeze. “Why are you still wearing that?” “I can’t get it off. I’ve tried. You need to get out of here before they use me to hurt you.” “Why haven’t you used any of your powers?” “I can’t. I don’t know what they did but I can’t use them. They also killed Leila.” “I’m so sorry Malayah. Mom and dad are coming. Everything will be alright.” “I don’t believe that anymore.” She looks so tired and skinny. I can tell she hasn’t been eating or sleeping properly. “Get some sleep Malayah. I will watch over you. I will try and reach mom and dad.” Tears sting her eyes as she nods her head

    Malayah “How do you know that?” She can’t possibly now where we are. She was unconscious when she arrived. “Terra is sure we had a premonition when we were asleep of the battle.” “What happened.” Tears sting her eyes and she shakes her head at me. It must not be good if she doesn’t want to tell me. I take her by the hand. “Please tell me.” “Auntie Keila dies, along with many others. Dad was preparing to attack Enzo who had you by the throat, ready to kill you. I don’t know what happens to you or to me. I didn’t see myself anywhere. I don’t think I get to see what happens to me. I also don’t know who wins the battle.” We are startled when the door opens again and Justin walks in. His eyes widen when he sees Maliyah. “You are not suppose to be here. Damn it. We need to get you out of here now.” “Who are you,” Maliyah asks. “I’m the warlock Justin. I’ve been helping your sister and communicating with Dimitri.” “They must know you or someone is working with him cause we are not

    Maliyah I am a bit scared that I might have killed Enzo. i didn’t think I’d ever have to take a life. We both stand still, watching blood pool on the ground from his injuries. We wait to see if he stirs but nothing happens. I finally shift back since Malayah is no longer able to mind link. “Did I kill him?” “I am not sure,” Malayah stutters. Enzo is still in wolf form but he is not moving, my heart races as I hear snarling outside. The battle has already started. “We should go, I hear fighting outside.” I see Malayah trying to hear what I do but I know without her wolf she can’t. We both jump at the sound of an explosion and I see the ceiling is about to collapse. I shift and throw myself on top of Malayah to protect her from the debris and put a force field around us as we are buried under dirt. I look up and notice I have shifted, putting all my strength into the force field. Malayah is under me unconscious. I can clearly hear the battle as I try to shove the force field out

    DavinaGroups of warriors begin to disappear as they are being teleported to the dragon realm. There are warriors as young as eighteen and my heart breaks knowing some of them will not return home to their families. I hope to end this as fast as possible. All the dragon warriors have shifted and prepare to take back our home. Dimitri walks up to our group.“You ready?”“Absolutely,” I reply. It’s time I got my daughters back and put an end to this. I blink and we find ourselves in the middle of a battle. They were prepared for us. I immediately shift and take to the sky, breathing fire down on the enemy. I see Katerina has summoned her fire tornado and is sending it straight to the enemies side. It’s a blood bath with losses on both sides. The ground is littered with bodies. I pull water from the nearby trees and send ice spears down on the enemy but they melt before they ever touch the ground. I look up a bit too late as Alastor crashes into me, pushing me towards the ground. The

    MarkAs soon as we are teleported to the dragon realm I shift and plunge into a bear. Owen is beside me as we team up and take out rogue after rogue.“Owen watch out!”Owen ducks as we see Davina’s body being brought down by another dragon. I can assume it’s Alastor. I take Daniela’s sister Daniel out of the way. As soon as we crash onto the ground a boulder lands right where he was standing.“Watch it Daniel! Daniela will kill me if you don’t return home.”“Thanks Mark!”I sink my teeth into a wolf that is on top of Owen and rip out his throat. I gag at the metallic taste of blood as it slides down my throat. I know it’s a normal feel for a wolf but I despise the taste. Ajax is all to happy to be finally ripping into the enemy’s throats. They’ve killed and tortured enough people.As I sink my teeth into a wolf, I hear a piercing howl from Owen that sounds not only sad but painful. “Keila!” I hear Derek yelling and look in the direction he is charging at. I see our uncle Thomas with

    “You didn’t think you got rid of me that easy did you Maliyah.” I growl, getting the bastards attention.“Enzo.”“Ah, Derek. I was wondering how long it would take you to find where we were hiding at. Malayah has been waiting ever so patiently for you to rescue her.”I see Aspen holding Maliyah back as I circle around Enzo. I need to strike but he could kill Malayah at any moment. I want to wipe that smirk off his face.“What’s wrong Derek? Make a move. I dare you.”Neither of us expect to see a fire ball hit Enzo. He drops Malayah on the ground and she scrambles towards me. I rush to her side but neither of us are quick enough as Enzo grabs Malayah from behind and breaks her neck. Her body falls to the ground, lifeless.“NO!!!!” Maliyah is screaming as Aspen grabs her and holds her to the ground. It’s like I got hit with a cannon. All I hear is ringing in my ears and everything seems to be in slow motion. I hear Davina roaring in the sky and I can feel her pain. Fire rains from the

    Maliyah“Maliyah, the guests are arriving!”“Coming mom!”I quickly finish doing my hair in a half up pony tail style and curl it before doing my make up. I can’t believe it’s been almost five years since the war ended and here we are, celebrating my sixteenth birthday. I stop by my nightstand with my sister’s picture and use my powers to make the flowers in the vase bloom again.“Happy birthday sis,” I whisper as I head for the door.I throw on my Ariat boots, hoping towards the door as I put on one at a time. I almost collide with my door trying to put on my last boot as I grab the handle to open the door only to end up running into Aspen. I nearly fall backwards onto the floor, but Aspen reaches out and catches my arm to steady me.

    DavinaI wake with a start that it startles Derek. Sweat is dripping down my face as Derek gently cups my face.“What’s wrong love,” he says looking around the room for an intruder.“I got to say goodbye to Malayah,” I whisper. He looks at me confused.“Okay, but what has you so scared?”I turn to Derek, making sure he is listening carefully. Worry is evident on his face as I take deep breaths to calm my racing heart. I need someone else to know what she told me.“Malayah said, ‘Beware of the new comer, darkness will come for her’.”“What does that even mean?”“I don’t know. I don’t even know exactly who she was talking about, but I think it’s Maliyah. I think she was talking about Maliyah and whoever Maliyah saw in t

    DavinaThe twins have fallen asleep, Thierry on Derek, Accalia on Calista and Aiden in my arms. Everyone begins going home and we had back into the pack house. We lay the kids down for bed as does Mark and Daniela. It’s nice to see the children together, safe and sound and back to what was once normal. Things may not go back to what they were but we can find a new normal for our family.The last thing I do is prepare a room for my mother with the help of Kat and Daniela. We put her next to Calista as they seem to have hit it off and have become fast friends. I am over the moon that I get to have this opportunity to get to know my mother and learn more about my family. There is so much I don’t know.With mom back in the picture, it seems to have changed things for Kat. Now that Kat has been spending time with our mother and her granddaughter

    DavinaWhen we all heard Derek and Maliyah playing I immediately mind link the whole pack to meet at the memorial. Our family gathered at it’s entrance, tears forming in our eyes. I haven’t heard her play in a long time. As pack members began arriving I open the back doors so they can hear too and started passing out candles and lighting them. Once everyone has a candle, I teleport Maliyah and Derek next to the memorial and they don’t miss a note. Families begin stepping up to the memorial and placing beautiful flower arrangements at the base.Dimitri utters a spell under his breath and tells me the flowers will never die, they will remain frozen in time. Celestia and Calista help pass out the Chinese sky lanterns and pens so everyone can write a message or just the name of a loved one that has been lost. I make one for my uncle Gabriel and parents that raised me as they now have no one le

    MaliyahI can’t believe what I woke up to. Dr. Smith has been examining me and taking MRI’s of my brain. I am still in shock at everything I am being told. Mom and dad tell me everything I appear to be forgetting. We take several breaks as I am constantly crying over things I have forgotten.I remember some of the information they are telling me but not all of it. After a while I did start to remember the day my sister died but it still doesn’t feel real. I don’t remember being in a coma before and waking up to having another little brother. Uncle Kale died as well as uncle Gabriel and I haven’t been able to accept that yet.Uncle Gabriel has been around all my life, even before I learned what I was. I never imagined I would have to live my life without him.“Ma

    DavinaWe’ve been in the dragon realm for the past week; going back and forth to the forbidden realm to explore it more. We want to ensure we had all he details, which Dimitri has written down so we won’t ever forget this day we now call The Day of Retaliation. It’ll always be a day we will mourn as many loved ones were lost that day, but we fought back against my brother and won. I wish there would’ve been another way, but my brother was too far gone. Once we were sure we didn’t miss anything, Dimitri and his coven sealed the realm away forever. The shifter counsel all agreed that it will be against our laws to step foot into that realm so it was best to seal it away to stop temptation.The horse shifters have been learning about the human world as it has changed a lot than from what their ancestors had told them.

    DavinaIt’s finally over. It’s been six years since Derek came into my life and my world was turned upside down. Six years after finding out I was not at all human. My heart mourns for those that I have lost in all that time. The parents that raised me, my uncle Gabriel, Thierry who was like a second uncle to me and my biological parents though I didn’t even know it yet.My heart hurts for my sister. She has been an empty shell since we killed Alastor. She remains at Kale’s side though his soul is no longer attached to his body. He’s gone and there is nothing I can really do to comfort her.“Mom, let’s get you something to eat and drink. Please,” begs River but Kat doesn’t respond.She continues to stare at his body and grasp his hand. I think

    Davina The minute Maliyah became unconscious her swirl of power dissipated. I drop the sphere of wind and see the zombie creatures are dropping one by one. I rush to Maliyah’s side in a panic with Kat right at my heals. “Maliyah!” Her head is bleeding badly and she is not responding at all. I quickly teleport her to Dr. Smith. “What happened,” asks Dr. Smith. “She hit her head on a rock and I am afraid she used more power than she can handle.” Kat pulls me away from Maliyah to give Dr. Smith room to work and I reluctantly back away. “Davina!” I look up and see Mark and Derek running into the tent. I can feel he is just as scared as I am right now. “Thank Ryuu you are okay. What happened to Maliyah?”

    Davina “Maliyah we need you,” I yell through the mind link. Kat and I are trying to finish this once and for all but we both know we won’t win without Maliyah. Alastor creates a sphere of wind around him, pushing Kat and I off of him. I quickly search the field for Maliyah and instantly see what she is doing. Her vision of Derek and Mark dying, it’s happening. “We need Maliyah,” says Kat through the link. “She is needed else where right now. We need to keep him distracted long enough for her to accomplish what is needed and return to us,” I reply. Kat doesn’t question what I mean. We trust each other completely and I know we can hold him off until Maliyah comes back. “You two are a thorn in my side. It’s time for me to be an only child,” growls out Alastor. I know we a
