Reminisce

10 years ago

The wind whistled violently as cold air brushed hard against the skin of 12 year old Elena. She and her father had just gotten back from a play date with her best friend.

She was helping him with tools to fix something wrong with their car, before the snowstorm hit.

It was rough and seemed agitated like the moon goddess subtly wanted to end some lives without actually ending some lives...if that even makes sense.

Stuck in her head, Elena turned her gaze to the sky, hoping to find the moon or the setting sun but nothing seemed in sight.

The only thing at that point that illuminated the area were streets and house lights, with the sky doing the best it could to tell its subject that it was still day time.

"Screwdriver..." Her father said trying to inspect some parts of the car engine.

"Screwdriver Elena '' he repeated, noticing that she was absent minded.

"Elena?... Elena!" He called out once more, increasing his voice hoping to catch her attention but she didn'

    The healer's diagnosisThe very next day, Elena whisked herself, with her dad driving back to her play date, Ann, her best friend, who was in with the healer, diagnosed with some rare disease.They were told that she had only a few months to live, but that they still had things they hadn't tried."Lena! " Ann called out to Elena on sight, running towards her in excitement."Annabelle! I missed you!" Elena echoed in reply, hugging Ann tightly."You guys met yesterday, what are you talking about?" Zoan said with a light chuckle.He enjoyed watching the kid's innocence and how much love they harbored for everyone and themselves, but as beautiful as it was, it was also very fragile. "What did Miss Kate say?" Elena said. "Catherine," the healer replied, smiling."I correct you everytime" she added, patting Elena's head."But kate is a really cool nickname" Ann added in her best friend's defense.Catherine sighed."Alright alright, if you say so love" She replied ruffling both their hair

    Hide... and seek"Elena..." Marcus called out playfully with a wicked grin spread across his face."Elena, come on, there's no point running and you know that, love" he added following her scent through the forest.Elena ran and ran, trying her best to conceal the sounds of her feet touching the dry leaves. "Elena, come on, I'm tired of playing, come feed me" Marcus said, in a tone that was a little less playful.Elena went on, hyperventilating in fear and exhaustion as tears streamed down her eyes blurring up her vision.She attempted to leap over a tree that fell but didn't jump high enough and so her feet grazed upon the tree trunk as she fell to the floor with a loud thud."Heard that.." Marcus uttered, hearing the sound of her falling."You must be hurt, I don't mind pouring some ointment on the wound, you know," he added in a seductive tone.It sounded enticing but there was no way she was falling for that again. She got up and ran but her ankle wouldn't let her,so she began cr

    The accustom The dream Elena had felt so real that she had to check if truly she broke her ankles and so she moved it about. To be sure, she placed her feet on the floor attempting to stand up and was glad to see that it was in good condition. She walked to the table that was beside the bed, which was a feet away from her and opened the plate cover, to see some sort of garnish, filled with cooked beef and some vegetables. The aroma enticed her, battling against the loss of appetite that she had when she woke up, soon enough, her stomach started rumbling. She picked up the plate and sat on the bed, taking a fork full of garnish and it tasted as delicious as it smelt. Shortly after she was done, she sipped a bit of water and stared at the medicine in front of her.She was trying her best to be okay with the baby but that didn't stop her from subtly wanting it to go away, thus, her reason for not taking the medicine.She sighed."I might as well do this" she said to herself taking

    Words of Encouragement After a short while of silence, Elena finally spoke "my apologies, I'll...I'll try my best to take care of the baby as best as I can”Heartache filled her but there was nothing she could do, it was either her kid comes out and suffers like she did or comes out to be normal.Lina noticed this and squinted her eyebrows, whatever got Elena must have run pretty deep, her thoughts now was on how to get her to talk.“Also…i believe it's a boy” The healer added with a bright smile on her face.“Congratulations” she added.“Mmm, a girl would have been cooler,” Lina said playfully.“Don't you think?” she added then smiled.Catherine giggled and Elena smiled.“I'm guessing you prefer girls,” Elena uttered.“Mmm…some can say that” she replied. “So.. are we done here?” Lina asked, turning her gaze towards the healer.“Yep… thank you for the visit alpha” she added bowing slightly.“My pleasure, my pleasure” Lina replied, rubbing the back of her neck, feeling a bit uncomfor

    Thief!!! Before any of the two could realize it, they were darting after the man as fast as they could, Lina was a lot faster than Elena and the reasons were obvious.“Hey hey! Don't let me be the one to halt you, you would regret it” Lina shouted and it shocked Elena, ever since she had been with Lina, she had never heard her use such commanding and tone before, it scared her a bit, making her wonder what she was like when she was angry but then, she also didn't want to find out.The thief turned to look at the woman chasing them, fear gripped him on seeing the alpha and that was even more motivation not to stop.If she was the one to ground him, he would probably end up suffering more than what would be given to a common thief and that wasn't something he was willing to even look forward to, let alone imagine.His wife had just given birth to their 6th child and so, the cost of living spiked up even more, if only he had listened to his friend who had preached to him countlessly abo

    Gaze Upon The Moon.The night was silent, the only thing one could hear was the sounds of crickets singing, owls calling out to their fellow species, in addition to the faint footsteps of the soldiers that were put on night duty.The night was cold and warm at the same time, cold enough to be soothing and cozy, yet warm enough to prevent those subjected to it from catching a cold. It was perfect, perfect enough for Elena to sit and watch the crescent moon as it reflected light from the sun.It was perfect, full moon or not. Elena loved it, from her view it was a faint representation of the moon goddess herself, soft and gentle on the skin but bright enough to allow those under her to see. It was charismatic and proud, yet humble and elusive.The moon Goddess had always been a wonder to her, not even because she was a deity but because she gave Elena a life setting that made her suffer so much.She sighed.Anyone would have lost faith in her by now, regardless of the aids and miracles

    Training grounds "Wake up, Elena," Elena heard someone say from outside her room. A knock sounded on her door and the person outside shouted, "Elena, you need to come out of your room now." Elena turned weakly to her side and covered her face with her pillow. She opened her eyes slowly. From the little rays of light seeping into her room through her closed curtains, she knew that the day was just breaking. It was probably not even up six yet. With a loud groan, Elena pulled her blanket over her head in a bid to block out the banging on her door. Whoever was outside could wait another ten minutes. "Elena," her knocker persisted, their fist hitting the door harder. "Wake up, Elena." Elena, unable to handle the noise anymore, sprang up from her bed. With drowsy, yet fuming eyes, she walked up to the door as she shouted, "who is it?" Maybe it was due to the loud noise that they were producing with their fist or maybe it was just them being oblivious but the person outside didn't resp

    Training grounds II"So, Lina told you about what happened, huh?" Elena said as she increased her walking pace in a bid to keep up with Norris whose big strides kept her at a few meters away from him. "What else did she tell you?" "She told me nothing much about you," Norris said, moving the big staff from his left hand to his right. "Only that which seems to be essential for today's work."Elena gave a grunt in response to Norris' words. From the time that he had used it though, Elena knew that he was lying. Elena noticed the way Linas strides changed the moment her eyes landed on Norris. Her pitch had gone higher and she seemed to have been overcome with some sense of excitement. Elena needed none to tell her that she had a thing for the sweat soaked guy... and that she had told him every little thing about her..."Pick up a stick," Elena heard Norris say. She blinked twice and looked up at Norris who had now stopped working.Confused, she muttered, "what did you say?" "The staf

    GARFIELD MUST BE FOUND!Elena shot another glance at Marcus and dreaded his presence. She held Carl by the hands and they turned to leave the cave.“Elena?” Marcus called out to her and she turned almost immediately as if she had been expecting his call. “I have a plan that might interest you. I'm sure it would help to find your child and bring an end to Garfield's taunts.”Elena raised her brows, unable to believe what she just heard. She knew Marcus to be a man of his words but she was not yet certain if she could still trust him after all he had done to her in the past.“Trust me.” Marcus pleaded and gripped a hold of her hands, drawing close to her. His eyes and Elena's eyes locked and Elena nodded her head affirmatively as if she had seen something intriguing. She was moved by how innocent and convincing his face was, that she embraced him. “I'll give this a trial.”“You surely won't regret doing this.” Marcus assured her once again as they got locked in each other's arms. “I ha

    A TRIP BACK HOME“We'll go with the child.” Garfield said and began to wrap him up in baby linen. “We don't have all day, we have to leave at once!”Mia remained silent and stared at him for a while. “How about we take this child to your father and tell him that you are no longer Elena's mate?”“What if he asks me whose child he is?” Garfield asked, not liking the suggestion Mia had just given. “My father will never like to hear anything concerning Elena, and if he ever finds out this is Elena's child, he will never be happy with me.”“Then lie to him!” Garfield's eyes widened at Mia's suggestion. How could he not have thought about that before now? “Yes, lie to him. Tell him the child is yours. Let him understand that you mistakenly had a one night stand with a maiden and you ended up getting her pregnant.”Garfield rushed at Mia and cuddled him up in a hug, his face ever bright with smiles. “Mia, you know what? You are a genius! All this while I have been looking for a perfect way

    CONTROVERSYElena's eyes twitched and she gripped Carl's clothes, her anger suddenly melting into cold tears. "What did you just say?" She asked, her voice unusually less audible.Carl looked her in the face. "They are gone, Elena, with your child!" "What? No, tell me that's not true. Wait, they are gone to where exactly? Talk to me." Her hands wouldn't let free from Carl's clothes and she totally ignored Marcus like he never existed.Meanwhile, Marcus was meaning to hold her hands and reassure her, and promise her that he would get them before they knew it. But he wasn't sure how she would react to it, since she was obviously not in the mood to speak to him.He thought it wise to let her be until she was probably done grieving over what was not lost, before he would come into the picture and inform her about his plans, that's if she would let him.He stood up from his kneeling position and crashed into the sofa, exhaling deeply. He wouldn't let anything else trouble him because he k

    DAWN"Oh that? Trust me Carl, these are mere portraits. I wonder why you take them so seriously." Marcus opposed, trying to reassure her. But he knew deep down within himself that he was only telling her cheap lies.She was right after all when he mentioned that he was a womanizer, but not necessarily a real womanizer who went about chasing different ladies, instead, ladies came to him on a daily basis to be called his mistress.It was obviously not his fault that different ladies came to him anyway, as they were all after one thing, and that was his position as the Alpha of the pack. They all wanted to be identified as his mate and Luna of the pack at the end of the day.But everything was different with Elena. First, she was sold to him as his mate, and despite seeing the affluence and power he controlled, she didn't let that get into her head. As long as she never liked him in the first place, she despised him even till eternity and wouldn't want to be associated with him in any w

    TORN BETWEEN TWO WORLDSShe would rather leave the cave than watch them participate in such evil by taking Elena's child out. But she didn't just leave and remain silent about what was going on, she planned to go out in search of Marcus and Lina and tell them what was going on.Since she had seen them once in the cave, it wouldn't be difficult for her to recognize them and inform them about what was about to befall Elena back at the cave.She was almost not lucky with her search when she didn't find them for close to hours after stepping out of the cave. The only thing she could think of was to try to remember the name of Alpha Marcus's pack so that she could easily ask anyone how to find him.Unfortunately, she couldn't remember anything as her mind was completely bland and she couldn't place her hand around what Marcus's pack will look like.She kept traveling nevertheless, and soon, she was out of the forest. Her instincts kept pushing her and forcing her to go to a certain directi

    WHAT HAS ELENA DONE?"Not at all Garfield, that's not the truth, I promise. She never told me anything about you." Elena mustered in her defense and that of her friend, Lina.But Garfield was not going to buy her lies. He knew right from when she stepped back into the cave after being with Lina for a while, that something was amiss, and Lina was definitely the cause of it.To think that he had been the person who granted Lina easy access to see Elena earlier and now she took it as an opportunity to hold dirty discussions against him? That could never be!With the way he peered at her, Elena suspected that he had been eavesdropping on them all this while and now, he's bent on finding out everything that has been going on between her and Lina outside the cave.According to him, there must definitely be something Lina was trying to hide away from him and the rogues, which warranted her to drag Elena out of the cave and probably poison her mind about him."What then were you discussing wi

    UNCERTAIN"I'm certain you are not speaking of your own accord, someone must have said something to you about Garfield that warranted you to ask these questions. Who could that be?" Elena asked all of a sudden, and Lina shot her a glare."Is that what matters to you right now?" She yelled in a distinct tone. "You are so alarming Elena! You amaze me lately."Elena remained mute and acted like she was not the one being talked to. She was still bent on finding out who had said such ridiculous things to her about her mate, and now she wouldn't let her be.Her eyes widened suddenly. "It's Marcus right? That frustrated snitch! Why is he so obsessed with me all of a sudden that he is hell bent on destroying my relationship with Garfield?""Oh no! Elena I'm so disappointed at you!" Lina retorted and shot her a menacing glare. "So you think Marcus is doing all these just because he doesn't like Garfield?""Of course yes. What other reason could he have other than trying to end my relationship

    THE ENCOUNTER"I see no reason why you sit there and keep smiling to yourself, don't you see that we have a threat here?" The men yelled at Garfield in anger as he kept quiet for a while.He faced them and meeting their gaze, he burst out into more laughter, provoking the men further. They boiled with aggressive anger within themselves, looking at Garfield suddenly acting like it was none of his business, at the same time, they kept a close eye on Lina.Garfield finally turned to face them, now getting up. "The lady standing before you is Lina and she is Elena's best friend. I see no reason why you eat yourselves up for nothing.""Oh, you should have told us that before now." Levi mustered and turned back to Lina. "You are Elena's friend right? Or is he mistaken?""No, no.. of course not. He's not mistaken, I'm Elena's friend and I'm here to share some information with her.""Alright, in that case, I'll get her for you at once." Levi retorted, running off to the room where Elena had b

    COINCIDENCE"Yes, I'm really sorry. I was only speaking out of tension because I have a lot of things bothering me right now." Marcus finally confessed. Lina raised her already arched brows, peering into Marcus's eyes as if she had seen something disturbing. She saw a tone of sincerity in Marcus's voice and instantly melted when he went on his knees afterwards. "Come on, you don't have to do that." She stretched her hands out at him and helped him get up."Actually, like I said earlier, I've been looking for a perfect way to rescue my mate. Some people are plotting how to get her killed."Lina's eyes widened. His story sounded familiar to hers and she doubted if she would be mistaken if she said they had similar problems. She listened with keen interest as Marcus narrated his ordeal, right from his encounter with Garfield and the other rogues when he had gone to get his mate from the cave where they lived."Exactly!" Lina exclaimed as soon as she heard Marcus make mention of a cav
