Rosella begged for the tears but they refused to come. The one person that mattered the most to her, she had lost. The evil witch now had her baby."Rosella!" Alpha Julian called again.She ignored his call and lay down on the bed silently. The smoke was restricting his view and she knew that he would have a hard time finding her."Where were you when I needed you the most!" Rosella cried. "I lost him!"There was a deafening silence in the room for a long while and Alpha Julian spoke finally. His voice was calm."How did it happen?""Susu!" Rosella cried. "I told you she was evil all the while but you never believed me. I'm the crazy witch who doesn't know what she's saying. Now we've lost our little boy.""No harm will come upon our baby," Alpha Julian promised. "I can assure you of that.""You can't assure me of anything," Rosella shook her head. "She would have killed me if she wanted to. You said you would be beside me but you weren't."From her voice, Alpha Julian could tell that
A shrill scream from over a mile jolted Alpha Julian out of his reverie. He shifted into his wolf at once and his ears perked up, alert.Someone was watching him and he could feel it.He growled and bared his fangs, daring whoever it was to appear, but no one came for a while.Just as he shifted back to his human form, he saw her. Even in the midst of the fire, her aura was powerful. Her hair was blood red and burned along with the flame in the warehouse and she smiled noticing his stare."We meet again, Julian," Akayla smiled.Alpha Julian growled and watched as she walked closer to him. He backed away as she came closer."Are you now scared of me?" Akayla taunted him."I can never be scared of you," Alpha Julian growled. "You're nothing.""I was," Akayla agreed. "But not anymore, and all thanks to your little son."Akayla threw a stick at him and Alpha Julian caught it at once. Staring at it, he realized that it was not actually a stick. It looked like a little child, a little child
Rosella closed her eyes and the fire enveloped her.She could still hear Akayla’s cackles in the midst of the flames and when she opened her eyes again, she was surprised to see that the fire was not burning her.“Rosella!”Rosella turned around at the sound of the familiar voice and she barely resisted the urge to scream. It was no other than Sage, her mentor that had gone missing a long time ago.“Sage?” Rosella cried. “How? What are you doing here?”Sage managed a weak smile. “It’s a long story. I’m sorry I left you for so long.”Rosella ran to hug her but her arms passed right through Sage’s body. She stared at her in shock and she shook her head.“No, no, no, it can’t be possible,” Rosella cried. “Don’t tell me you’re dead too.”“I’ve been dead for a long time,” Sage replied. “Maisey did this to me.”Rosella’s eyes widened in shock. “Maisey?”Sage frowned at her. “We do not have time for chit chats, Rosella. My Spirit would be here to guide you and Maika. The two of you together,
THE LAST SUPPER 1Maika watched her father as he studied the map on the wall before him. He was lost in thoughts as he traced his fingers up and down, circling towns and marking off rivers. She wondered what he was doing but she didn’t bother asking. He was not going to live long enough to conquer any of the places he was marking so it was pointless asking.Maisey noticed her curious glance and he smiled at her.“My darling,” He said. “All these places you see would soon be ours.”Maika nodded and smiled knowingly. If there was one thing she liked about the man, it was his confidence and ambition. If only he could channel it into something better, something more meaningful and worthy. But no, he only cared about power. He only cared about ruling the realm, and his obsession with ruling the realm was going to be his biggest undoing.“What plans do you have for the new world when you take over, father?” Maika asked.Maisey smiled and ran his fingers across a small creek on the map.“I c
THE LAST SUPPER 2Maika waited till they were halfway through their supper before she appeared from the kitchen again. She knew the poison was a slow one, and it would take a long time before it started working fully.Maisey sighted her at the door and called to her."Maika darling," Maisey called. "It's almost 11 and you still haven't eaten.""I'll eat later," Maika smiled. "I lost my appetite."Maisey stared at her for a while and frowned."You know it's not right to serve your guests and starve yourself?" He said."And where did you hear that?" Kika laughed. She dragged her chair closer to Maika and whispered in her ears."I know you don't feel like eating," She said. "I can always help you out."Maika managed a weak smile and nodded. Deep down, she felt a pange of guilt knowing that all of them were going to die at her hands. Kika especially. She wasn't a bad person, her only fault was moving with the wrong person, her own father, Maisey, and as much as it pained her, she knew t
It didn’t take Rosella a long time to find Julian. She knew his favorite spot, by the Oak tree and when she saw him there, she was not surprised.Rosella walked up to him and squeezed his hands in hers. He turned around, startled and she knew at once that he had not sensed her presence.“Rosella?” He asked. “Is that you?”“It’s me, honey,” Rosella replied and hugged him.They remained like that for a long while and when he finally disconnected from her, she saw that his eyes were pure white.“What happened to you?” Rosella cried. “Your eyes.”“She got to me,” Alpha Julian muttered. “Akayla. She killed our baby too.”“I know,” Rosella nodded. She wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes.“I saw him, Julian. I saw our baby.”“I saw him too,” Alpha Julian nodded. “I’m sorry I couldn’t do anything about it. I have failed you.”Rosella held his hands lovingly. She hated it when he was like that. He was her only source of strength and it seemed that he didn’t believe anymore. He had lost
“Some light training could help,” Alpha Julian suggested.“It’s magic we’re talking about,” Maika snorted. “You either have it or you don’t. She lost hers already and except we can find a way to get it back before Akayla sniffs us here, she can’t.”“Great,” Rosella sighed. “So I’m practically useless here.”“You’re not,” Maika frowned. “We would find a way. Here, hold my hands.”Maika stretched out her hand and Rosella took her hands.“Close your eyes, let’s try something,” Maika suggested.Rosella nodded and shut her eyes tight as Maika began to chant a spell. It took some minutes but eventually Rosella began to feel the power flow through Maika’s hands and into hers.Maika opened her eyes and dropped Rosella’s hand.“Try to light a flame now,” Maika said.Rosella spread her arms out and concentrated so hard but only a little spark came.“It would take a lot of time,” Maika sighed. “Your body is already used to the magnitude of the dark powers it carried before. What I have given you
The rest of the fight was pretty much bullying.Watching her friend's head being pulled brutally from her neck was enough to awaken the darkest powers that lay dormant in her.Rosella attacked Akayla at once, blasting her with balls of fire. At first, Akayla did a good job dodging, but she couldn't keep it up for long.Rosella had her cornered in no time and as much as Akayla tried to fight back, nothing seemed to be working. Rosella's body absorbed every single ball of fire from Akayla and the more Akayla blasted her, the stronger she got.Akayla finally realized that there was no way she could get past Rosella and she decided to switch tactics to subtlety.She raised her arms in the air like she was surrendering and as soon as Rosella got close enough, she blasted her with all the energy she had.Rosella screamed in pain as her body struggled to absorb the blast and Akayla blasted her again.Rosella fell to the floor, her clothes burnt and torn in multiple places and Akayla laughed

Susu carried the dead baby all the way to the abandoned warehouse.Her heart raced with excitement at the thought of getting Akayla back fully. Together, they were going to take over the world, just as Akayla had promised her.She got to the door of the warehouse and she looked around quickly to make sure that no one was looking. Seeing that no one was around, Susu pushed the door open and walked in.From a distance, she could feel the energy buzzing around Akayla. Even in her vegetative state, she was that powerful. Susu dared to wonder for a minute how strong she would be when all her powers were back.She stopped at the bed where the witch lay and she slowly removed the cloth that covered her body."My Queen," Susu announced her presence.Akayla woke up with a start and her eyes shone black. Her face was a mask of different dull colors: ash, grey and black in a few places, a subtle reminder of the day that she had tried to get the powers out of the portal and got badly burnt.Susu
