*Meadow*I am happy I didn't have to argue much with Caleb for this, he didn't want me in the field of battle but he also was aware that Cornelius was smart, and he would think of a way to get to me just to get to him. If I was close, his chances were almost nule to take me.We are finally established in the woods; I can see Queen Isilwen not far from us and her powers are strong. I see several wolves on the ground howling in pain. Caleb takes my hand and walks amongst our people, most of them shifted except the scouts on the top of the trees. "I am going to ask Queen Isilwen to let them go, this will encourage Cornelius to push and attack. Demark's people are a few miles ahead ready to aid the drows taking them to a safe distance. That is when we enter, our first line works as a shield, they will stop his first wave. The second one is the punch, we will strike back. The last one has the deadliest warriors, and me. I will need you to take an important role here Princess..." He says t
*Meadow*After minutes of silence, they didn't move; many of them laid exhausted for the physical and mental manipulation from the drows and wisps. I felt my throat dry, I was nervous, expecting the unexpected. Then I saw it.It was a line of darkness that approached us with an incredible speed. Shifted wolves that ran towards us bloodthirsty; their eyes red, their canines out and threatening, their growls chilling. I shivered and had to force myself to remember this was the moment that would define our future, mine with Caleb and also our people, and probably the world. Because, if we can't stop Cornelius, no one can, and who would stop here when they could take the world?Caleb's plan got into action; the first wave got caught on our first line. Everything happened so fast, it was surreal. I heard the sound of each of our warriors and felt their rage and pain all together. It made me restless, I wanted to do something, I wanted to help them. I was about to shift and head their way
*Meadow*I felt disgust watching his cocky smile while he stood a few meters from me. To be honest, I was never a violent person, but it made me want to punch him with all I had. He shifted and walked slowly closer to me."Well, well... the Princess is now trapped in her own paradise..." his voice caused me chills, the worst ones. He spilled venom with his tone of voice and I felt like I wanted to crawl into a space and hide. Why did I ran? Why didn't I stay where Caleb told me to? Oh Goddess, why was I so stupid and left the safety of his eyes? Now I regret everything I did, I wanted to be brave and instead I think I just ended up messing things up.I held the tears and instead I replaced them with nothing. I looked back at him with lack of emotions. He chuckled to himself and looked around. "Very nice place, is this the place where you met him?" He asked and I just stared back at him, I didn't want to confirm nor deny anything and let him elaborate more on whatever he was planning
*Meadow*"I knew you were following me Vampyr... I knew you were chasing my tail... I always knew you were... admit it, you didn't see this one coming, did you..." he mocked and teased Aeneas between laughs. The bodies of the two dead vampires were quickly disintegrating on the ground. "You took my Luna away from me... now I am taking yours... give her to me..." Cornelius spoke, this time, with no hint of amusement.I knew I hadn't like Camilla from the start, the vibes she sent were always different. But betraying her blood, her maker? I never expected that. Rage started to fill me and I was struggling not to give in. My wolf was snarling to come out and bite some vampire's flesh."You won't make it alive this day, demon. I give you my word on that." Aeneas words were cold and calculated, still I saw us cornered and them with advantage. I wanted so bad to have Caleb here."You have balls, vampyr... you are outnumbered and still manage to threaten me? Big balls..." Cornelius laughe
*Meadow*It was clear that Aeneas wasn't going to let him get away with his plans, he was fighting admirably with everything he had. But nothing could have prepared us for what happened when he sank his fangs into Cornelius skin.The scream mixed with growls that came out of him were unnatural, and then his fur started to break. I half closed my eyes but forced myself to keep looking. His skin torn as if something was breaking it from the inside. It grew, Aeneas watched with anger in his black eyes, a vile huge creature broke free from inside what once was Cornelius' wolf. A huge tall creature stood in front of him, leaning on two hooves that were dark red and sank into the ground, it doubled Aeneas' size in both height and width.I gasped as the personification of evil presented to us now, the real demon who was behind the horrors Aeneas claimed had been happening for centuries. Exaggerated muscles and a disfigured face, he had only one big eye slightly more to the left, and his ha
*Meadow*I tried to find Aeneas but he was too far from me, I couldn't check if he was alive or not, between us three we could probably kill it. I took several deep breath and followed my instinct, I crawled to the water and took a dip. Whatever it was on the lake quickly started to heal me, I felt my swollen limbs recover and my pain subside; I looked towards the cave and those haunting glowing blue eyes seemed to get closer. I shifted and turned around to see Caleb bite and tear a part of the creature's arm, causing it to scream and try to hit him.This was delusional, I needed to help my mate, he was the strongest warrior in the land but I didn't know if he was strong enough to defeat a demon, a creature of myths and legends. "Caleb!" I screamed and he jumped just in time to avoid a punch. He looked at me and that distraction caused him to be hit by a second punch from the beast. I gasped and covered my mouth, I was being a distraction instead of helping him. 'Pull him to the wate
*Meadow*I stumble and almost fall back to the water as I try to climb the few rocks that led me to the entrance of the cave. I turned my head to look where my mate was just in time to watch the demon splash water all over as its body fell completely in it. A small wave of water reached my feet and I finished to step into the darkness.'Caleb! are you ok?' I send to my mate and I could only hear silence. I didn't see him around anywhere and I felt my heart at my throat while I looked also at my back and saw those haunting blue eyes moving closer to me. I felt myself getting anxious for the meeting, something told me Caleb knew whatever was there was not going to harm me and I would be safe there as well, yet the goosebumps in my body kept me on guard.I watched the demon fight against something invisible in the water, then its head turned to look at me and with rage in its eyes he tried to reach me; only then I saw Caleb fall on him with all his force. His body weight and size used
*Meadow*It was then when I saw a big shadow from behind it; it kept coming closer towards us, and the closer it get the more it blocked the light. The demon was frozen and still as it watched my new protector with fear; then I heard a strange sound I only noticed to be wings flapping when big claws appeared from behind the waterfall and sank into both of the creature's shoulders. It yelled in vain, a long tail quickly aid the pull of the claws by wrapping around its waist and together they pulled it out and away from us. I ran past her and jumped to the water, swimming fast out of the cave to see what was happening; I saw them fighting in the air, Caleb's wings huge and magnificent kept them both suspended while their bodies kept wrestling; I saw the demon reach my mate's neck and tear a part of it but Caleb was faster and in swift calculated moves he bit the demon's head holding it still while his claws sank even deeper into its shoulders, a painful scream came from its mouth as Cal
