Immediately Emma stepped out of the big hall, she fell to the ground on her knees, right outside there under the visibility of the full moon, and began to weep. Her palms on the ground too supporting her frame, she cried, cursing whatever fate had befallen the way.When she felt Prescott's hairy tail on her right hand, she sniffed in and turned, sitting down on the floor in her gown.In Front of her were Aiden, Yodah, Julius, Freya, Ava and Maya. Prescott was right beside her.They all had pitiful faces on.She didn't like that.She had never liked to be pitied, but right at this moment, she couldn't help but not care. Her heart was thoroughly broken. She felt like dying."You are not dying, at least not yet." Prescott said to her telepathically, and she twerked her nose with her index finger and thumb, curbing the catarrh that was incoming. She wasn't in the mood to be plagued by a running nose.But Prescott was right. Her time to die hadn't come yet. At least she had to ensure reven
Standing outside her house with Aiden, Julius, Yodah and Freya; Emma waited impatiently for the attackers to surface. Her hands were itching for battle. This would be a good outlet to release the pent up frustration and anger she has been feeling.Her eyes darted around the environment for any sign of the intruders, but she saw nothing. Only their scent told of their presence.Where are they? She thought, balling her fists, aware that Aiden had turned around, his back facing the house, in case an attack should come from the back. They were all at alert, including Freya. She wondered if the other red head could also change to a dragon. She cocked her one side in thought, ruminating on the coolness of the fact.Beside her, looking tiny and small as usual was Prescott. He was also looking around, bouncing on his tiny feet as he did so.The first person to show up was a little girl who drifted out of the front door, clutching a rag doll, looking all lost and lonely.Emma scoffed."That's
Five minutes later:"How long are we still gonna wait?" Emma rasped out.It was obvious to the others that she was terribly impatient at this moment, and at risk to make a rash decision which might not benefit them at all."We are not waiting any longer." Aiden stated wisely, knowing that anything apart from this would only incite Emma's impatience the more."Okay. So, what's the plan?" Emma asked, folding her arms across her chest, pleased with Aiden's answer.Aiden was silent. He wasn't sure of the next step. It was quite tricky.Then Julius made a suggestion."We can't move in directly first, it's quite risky." He started, staring at Emma unblinkingly. Emma nodded, understanding the point, egging him to continue."We have to make them come out from the house, including the forest if they are here." He said, and Emma unfolded her right arm, and gave him a thumbs up.At least someone was thinking in her direction. For the only way to do this suggestion of his was to create a fire.Sh
"So, who is heating up the house?" Yodah asked, cracking his knuckles, ready for a little fun. Yes, that's how he saw the upcoming fight that was about to happen; fun.Prescott shrugged."I can heat up the house and regulate the temperature with Freya. Emma will stay with me." He said, aware that Freya would hear and tell the others.When she did, the others nodded, agreeing with his suggestion. They had seen his display back at the big hall at the Blue Moon's Pack, and were sure that he was a good fit for the Job. Theirs were to battle.But Emma was not.She shook her head, after Freya was done communicating with the others, not agreeing entirely with the suggestion, surprising the others. They were wondering what could be her problem now. She answered their thoughts the next minute."I can't stay with Prescott, looking around and waiting for you guys to be done with battle. I want to fight too. I need to fight. I know I can. I had learnt taekwondo too. I believe I'm good. I'm not st
The first wizard to show up, came rushing out of the forest, obviously scared, with steam pouring all over his body.Aiden responded, by crippling him, not just his physical self, but his mental state, and inner organs, such that the wizard couldn't lift his hand to mutter a spell or do anything. He just fell to the floor, looking like a lost person, a mentally deranged person.Seeing this, Emma mused.If this was the way the battle would happen, then she was sure that she wouldn't be fighting after all. The vampires were just too strong. In a blink of an eye, a wizard was down already. Perhaps this had been what Prescott had suspected, and had told her to stay by his side. Since she wouldn't be doing anything, she might as well not be in a position where she would be a liability to the vampires."Good. I told you so." She heard Prescott taunt in her mind, and hissed softly, not ready for banter. She could see the wizards and some witches stepping out of the house, some were rubbing t
"What is wrong with you?!" Prescott shouted in Emma's mind, but Emma shrugged, not giving a reply.But Prescott continued."We were almost done finishing them off. Why did you open your big mouth to spoil all our plans? Huh? Must you do this?" He asked, and Emma snorted, building a shield all over her mind, cutting him off.She wanted to fight. She wanted to release the tension and anger that had coiled up her nerves. Why didn't they understand that?"She shut me out." Prescott whined, throwing up his hands as if in tired surrender.Freya soughed, not knowing what to say.She was only aware that the guy, whoever he was, was so happy about the newest development. She didn't know why Emma had thought it wise to bring up this matter, but she was afraid and knew that the former had little or no chances of winning.So, why would she do it? Why would she disrupt their well laid plans?Beside her, Yodah, Aiden and Julius stared at Emma with wide disbelieving angry eyes.Julius spoke then."W
Emma sniffed again, letting her hand run across her nose, as she stood up to her full height, her hands on her waist, staring amusingly at Casper who was staring at her suspiciously."Are you sure about that?" She asked, piquing her right eyebrow at a Casper who shrugged, not sure of what he was thinking about this new outlook of Emma."Let's go then." She muttered, gearing up, feeling the energy swirling deep within her. A smile slithered across her lips as she felt her hands spark like electricity. She could literally feel herself floating, even though she was studded on the ground.With a crooked smile on her lips, she beckoned on a confused Casper to come close and fight, or perhaps do some of his power manifestations.Casper smirked, then came closer to Emma. If only he had foreseen what would happen in a twinkle of an eye, he would have conceded defeat, or stuck to the fist fighting without powers.He threw a punch first, shrouded with fire, but Emma dogged it sharply.Quickly,
"Emma, you have to let him go, so that we can bury him." Aiden said, squatting at that precise moment of his speech close to Emma who had refused to let Casper go. She clung unto his dead body, not still believing that she had killed someone, and worse, her brother. Yes, he had been her brother, and he had still loved her despite his act of betrayal. She understood now that his painful kicks against her ribcage had been a desperate act for survival, having known even then, that she wasn't the Emma he had known and loved. She still blamed herself, and Derek for the death of Casper.Derek will pay. She thought, repeating the statement over and over in her head like a mantra, such that she paid no heed to what Aiden was saying. Putting Casper into the ground would make his death so real. She wasn't sure she was ready for that. She wasn't sure she was ready to be termed a murderer."You are not a murderer." She heard Prescott say in her mind, and furrowed her eyebrows, wondering how her m
