Tabitha
" Tabitha, do you have any idea how dangerous this is for all of us " " I always think about our safety Rheagon but the most dangerous thing we can do is to do nothing, Sala will do her best to keep us protected bur if it boils down to it then we simply have to show them the way, our biggest threat would be if the Nation managed to get Dark Witches once again " " I have not heard of any Dark Witches since the great war, they eradicated them all didn't they "
" Let us hope so "
" She's probably already leading them to us, let us make ready in case we need to flee " " if she leads anyone here to us, it means that she trusts them enough not to harm us, if she knows some one is a potential danger she will not bring them "
" Why are you so certain of this she wolf Tabitha " " because I know what she is and what she has yet to become now stop your needless worrying and let us do our supper "
Roho
I step out my shower feeling refreshed, after getting dressed I plop down on my bed, there's so much to do, so much preparations we'd need to make for what's to come but my first hurdle would be to explain myself to others, I am certain that the Alpha will have to report it to the council what my findings are but I just hope he does it in a way that will not expose my affiliation with Witches and I don't want to drag Tabi into this, I already saw how things went down in the vision and I'm certain that they are still in hiding, although the current Alpha King may not know about what happened or the reason for the grudge against Witches he will most certainly still carry the disdain and distrust, as we all know, hate is not something we're born with, it is taught.
When I open my eyes next, it's early morning, I may as well get up and go to the training centre to blow off some steam and clear my mind.
I walk into the training centre a but this morning things seemed to be pretty tense around the entire pack and it spread even to the warriors "what's going on?" "haven't you heard Red? the Alpha King is demanding every pack send members to undergo trials to join his army, they're saying the Reapers Nation seem to be on the move again so he wants to be prepared just in case they attempt to do what they did 76 years ago"
Dang so they've already heard about it, Alpha Teejan sure moves quickly, sigh " I see " " what do you mean you see Red? " " well what do you want me to say, it's war aren't we all prepared to fight to the death to protect our pack and families? " " of course we are but this is the Reaper Nation Red, this is something on a whole other level " I touch him on his shoulder " I understand it may be scary but the only thing we can do is our best Pete and pray to the Gods is good enough "
" Anyway Alpha Teejan is having a pack meeting later and asks that all the pack attend so let's see how it goes and what it's about " " cool, ahh by the way how is Ivo? I didn't even get a chance to visit him " " he's good, he's supposed to be released this afternoon " " oh thank goodness, I'll have to give him a visit after training, let's get to it "
" How can you think about training at a time like this? " this jerk is always on me for some reason or the other " at a time like what Vince? " " didn't you hear Pete? " " considering I've never been special needs I think it's safe to say I most certainly heard what he said " " right and you're still in the mood to train? "
" I'm sorry, am I missing something here? you were told that we may or may not have a war coming to us by one of our greatest adversaries and rather than keeping up with your training you rather mope about and do nothing because you don't feel up to it? does that make sense to you Vince? look if you're not going to train then I suggest you get your butt out of here and allow those of us who want to train utilize the facility "
* Slap * my head turns to the side as I register what just happened, I turn and look back at Vince " did you just slap me Vince? " he smirks and folds his hands " so what of it, that ought to knock some sense into you and knock you down a peg off your high horse".
The training centre is silent, no one moves or says a word, I don't even think they're breathing.
I run up on Vince I raise my hand to make him think I'm going to throw a punch and he raises his hand in defence but I change tactic and land a round about kick and I did it forcefully knowing full well I'd damage his ribs, before he lands from the brunt of my kick I grab his hand " no Red! " Alpha Teejan and Beta Trevor comes running.
I look at them, he's whimpering and holding his side, " don't do it Roro " I am more than willing to take whatever punishment I'm given for this but I will break this bastards fingers today no matter what * crack, crack, crack * " aaahhhh aggghhhhhh my fingers! ahhhhh help me, my fingers! you b*tch you broke my fingers! let go of me! "
I never once took my eyes off the Alpha and Beta as I broke his fingers, I dropped his hand then kicked him over and he fell backwards and lay on his back crying out in pain." I have tolerated this bastard and others for many years without doing anything which is probably why they think they could do me anything they please but that ends now, starting with this ass wipe, I will accept whatever punishment you give me Alpha for defying you "" Take Vince to the medical wing and you come with me, let's go to your squad captain and you will make a full report of what happened and he will decide your punishment "We leave the centre after the slide Vince onto a stretcher and take him away to the medical wing, once we're out of ear shot of the others the Beta asked " that felt good didn't it? " " damn good too sir " he laughed " don't encourage her Trevor " " oh come on Tee, it's not like you didn't know the little shit had it coming though I am curious, he's one of the best at defence how
He looks at me and asks " what happened Roho ? " " I walked into the training centre this morning to do my drills and Pete told me about- " "ahem " I look at Alpha " about something fairly concerning and it would seem Vince wanted to use that as a reason for not training today, so I merely pointed that his reasoning makes no sense because if the situation Pete spoke about turns into fruition then we need to do as much training as possible and he slapped me "" Just like that? " " just like that, then had to gaul to tell me that would knock me down a peg or two, I mean who wouldn't that piss off especially when you add the times before when I chose to ignore him " " I understand and no hard feelings " " NO HARD FEELINGS!! SHE BROKE MY FINGERS DAD! " " on the same hand you hit her with correct? " he leans back onto his bed and says nothing." You're such a wimp Steven " " you know Steven, you are as much to blame for Vince as his mother is by allowing her to run all over you like she do
RohoOne more shift done, I stretch myself before leaving my lab room, I truly am tired but I need to head home and get some rest for my shift at the border later. I say by to the staff as I exit the pack hospital and blink a few times adjusting my eyes to the sun light, Imake my way along, headed back to the hellhole I call home, most people would look at it and consider it to be a beautiful home, and I’m sure to others it is but for me, it’s the source of discomfort.“ Hey Red!” ‘ hey Dirk! It’s been a while, how you been?’ “I’ve been good, we just got back from our visit to the other packs, I’m headed home to Sammy” ' try not to keep your neighbours up all night huh’ he chuckled and went on along his way.As you’ve heard my name is Roho, which means Red in Spanish, we’ll not get too much into why the people responsible for me would name me that but what can I do, the nickname Red has already grown on me through the years and it’s what people know me as so it’s fine I suppose.I c
The reason they say that is because of my name, my name was apparently supposed to be Azealia as per my mothers wish but my father kept putting off naming me for some reason to the point my step mother made remarks on the colour of my hair, it's an incredible shade of red which I know I inherited from my mom, so my name became Roho, dumb I know right? no thought whatsoever, okay let's just call her Red but instead of making it too obvious because then it sounds stupid let's call her Roho, despite that I do love the bright and vibrant colour of my hair.My dad had given me a locket which is now my whole world for my Thirteenth birthday, it has a picture of my mother inside, he told me not to let my step mother or siblings see it so it has always been our secret, before receiving the locket there had been times I caught him staring at me and his eyes would be filled with tears when he looked away, it was after I received the locket I knew why, I was the splitting image of my mother w
My father has spent many years, suffering silently which caused me to suffer silently because he lost my mother and I truly can not imagine experiencing that or leaving my mate behind to grieve me in that sense for Goddess knows how long, it's been Twenty Three long years and he still carries an air of sorrow about him and I suppose now I'm older I do understand his possible resentment of me as I am the reason his mate is no longer living, I have wondered from time to time, what it would have been like if she had survived giving birth to me, would he have left Nika and stayed with us, have more pups with my mom or would we have been his dirty little secret, his second family and I would of have to watch my mom suffer in pain when he comes back to his pack here and mate with Nika while we stay at which ever pack she lived in before.I come to a stop when I feel eyes on me, and I don't mean the kind of eyes an admirer would give but a malicious and eerie kind of stare.I am still in tow
" What the heck are you doing here and why the heck do you smell like that? "Gosh, how I wish I could rip this woman's voice box out and step on it " considering I live here Nika, where else would you expect me to be after my shift at the hospital? and what you smell on me the scent of a Rounce we just killed in town " " what the f-k is a Rounce? wait! did you say in town?! oh my Goddess! my boutique! " she runs past me towards the door and slams it on her way out, it's amazing that she didn't think once of her children but is worried about the store.I shake my head and head on up to my room, I need a shower.You may also be wondering how come she doesn't know what a Rounce is, it's because they're rarely spoken of and even more rarely seen, they dwell in lands far away from wolves which is why I was so shocked to encounter one here, the only reason I knew what it was, was because of Tabitha, she showed me books about different mystical beings, the good and the bad and even the forg
Eventually I had the door replaced with one of those hurricane doors and put a lock with a dead bolt so it wouldn't be so easy to break and enter, they do these things because my father is unaware and I chose not to say anything because I doubted he'd really believe me over them and the most amusing thing is none of them have ever asked me about the door or locks because obviously they'd give themselves away.I fix myself a quick sandwich naturally from items I purchased, I have a pantry that locks which I keep all my goods as well as pots, pans, dishes etc, I use nothing provided by Nika and the pantry was provided by my father when I was Ten years old, he'd buy my groceries and put them in there and gave me the master key and he kept the spare so he could stock it, when I started working I told him he no longer needed to do that but every now and then I would meet groceries I didn't purchase in there which I was grateful for nonetheless.My sandwich is Sliced Turkey with a Cheese Pa
He breathed a sigh of relief and looked at me " what do you want from me? " " I want you to answer a few questions for us " " okay " he folds his hands and looks at me " ask away " " where are you from? " " I'm from Gaisha as are my friends, why? " " I'll tell you why after you answer all of my questions, next question how old are you? " " I'll be Eighteen in Three days " I look back at the guys and they nod at me, I look at him " what's your family name? " " Tinago " I link the guys ' ever heard of that last name before? ' ' no. nope ' " are you being truthful about your last name Beau? " " yes I am, why do you doubt that? " " before we get to that, tell me have you ever had cases where when you lose your temper you growl? your speed and strength extraordinary and eye sight is out of this world and recently it's began to get out of your control, which I presume is why you and your friends are running away, or you wanted to run away and they decided to tag along "He stepped back two

My mind is reeling, going a million miles a minute, we have to tell the King about this but that could mean risking Roro, because I have figured out she's friends with a Witch and the King will too, and who knows what consequences she may face because of it.Although it's not like we have anything against Witches on a personal level it's just frowned upon for some reason or the other.I help Roro take the trunk into her house and store it as she says she prefers to be the one to keep it as she can handle it if it somehow manages to escape although it is very unlikely.I follow her to the kitchen and she busies herself making something to eat and I sit at the island and watch her move around, she offers me a beer which I take and sip from it " this friend of yours, can she truly be trusted Roho? " " well Alpha, the most I can say is that I trust her, she's very motherly to me and has never given me a reason to doubt her "" So you don't think this could be some kind of over time plot t
Alpha Teejan ' Alpha, Red just came through the main entrance of the pack ' ' thank you! ' I shoot out of my office and race past even my mate on the stairs " what's the rush Teejan " " Roro's back " I holler out as I go past her and the others. When I get out of the pack house and onto the front porch she's just pulling up in the front yard with some sort of trunk attached to her speed demon, she gets off and walks up to me and bows " Alpha, I have returned " " welcome back Roro, how was your mission? " she raised her head and the look in her eyes as she glanced at her bike then back at me " it was most rewarding Alpha " By now others have gathered and are on looking as they also cast curious glances at the trunk on Roro's bike. I feel a nudge in my mind and I open it ' Alpha can you meet me at home in Ten, I really need to have a show and tell with you as soon as possible ' ' sure thing, I'd meet you there ' ' please come alone ' ' noted ' she cuts the link. " I will report on
Keran rummages through the bag and passes me the bottle of disinfectant and some tissue from the roll I got, I look at the guy and he's staring at me intently " I'm gonna cause you a great deal of pain okay but I need you to keep your eyes on me and tough it out, I'm gonna hurt you to help you" , he nods still breathing heavily " lay on your side " he complies and lay down on his good side and turned his head to me. " Okay big guy, eyes on me " I pour the disinfectant and I can see the pain in his eyes as his eyes water, I can see his wolf trying to surface no doubt trying to ease his pain " you're doing great just a little more, keep your eyes on me. Through his tears he never takes his eyes off me. Once I finish the disinfecting I apply my potion to the burn then an Aloe salve " pass me the gauze Keran, don't touch the part that's going to go over the burn " he carefully opens them and passes them to me, I apply them then stick them. I open a protein energy drink and put a straw i
Roho I rise early the following morning with every intention of sneaking out the cottage and head back to the pack, I freshen up in the bathroom as quietly as I could manage then make my bed before closing the door slowly, I head down the stairs, I get to the bottom and walk to the front door " going somewhere Sala? " I stop in my tracks and turn to see Tabitha sitting at her island and sipping from her coffee mug. " Good morning Tabi " I smile at her and she gives me a stern gaze " don't try to butter me up, come and have something to eat, why do you always insist on running away every time you visit me child " I feel sheepish " I simply did not want to disturb you or the others sleep Tabi " " stop with your excuses and come and eat then you can go, Reginald has already attached the box to your death trap " I snicker. " My baby is not a death trap Tabi, he's a bad boy beast! " I sit on the stool next to her and eat my breakfast, she sits next to me and sip her coffee, once I finis
I can see them searching the forest, as the lanterns lights glow in the distance around the forest, they seem frantic but eventually they give up retreating to the direction they came from. " I wish I could follow them back to see where they came from, but it'd be too dangerous right now for me to do that, how come they didn't sense her? " " The chest isa container for dark magic, it seals whatever it is inside, other dark creatures cannot open it no matter how hard they try, not from the inside or from the outside and once inside it can't see, hear or sense anything nor be sensed by those outside " " I see, well I will be sure to return your chest to you after using it Tabi " " okay, now come it's time you had your rest " I place the chest on the porch by my bike and head up to my room, I have a shower and brush my teeth before hoping into bed, it takes me a few but I eventually drift off to sleep.

Roughly Nine Rouges emerge from the tree line in front of Tabitha's house talking among themselves " man she was the most gorgeous woman I have ever seen but she seemed to be shy, she said she has lots of friends who could show us a great time " " Okay, that's all well and good but why is it that we have to visit so late at night and so damn deep in the woods, does this not seem strange to any of you? as though we're walking into some sort of trap or something? did she even tell you her name dude? " They all stop walking just as they approach where the porch is where Tabi and I are standing motionless " come to think of it, she didn't, do you really think she's some kind of bait? " " I mean come on guys, she told you to come late at night and bring friends and nothing else, I mean yeah sure who doesn't love a good fk but this just seems absurd, look around, what the fk is even out here if not soon our dead bodies or something " " Come on Chris, you're over thinking it " " I'm just
