Entry 12: 2001

Whitney never listened to him, her growling grew louder, something's wrong with her.

Her fur suddenly changed, I saw Pietro stepped back. I can sensed their fear; fear of the unknown.

Her fangs and claws grew, her size was that like of a wolf... I never see one transform, except today, is this the effect of an immortal to a hybrid?

"Retreat, Colossal" Pietro shouted.

One by one they ran away, screaming. Pietro and Natasha stood still there, but I can see that they, too were scared.

Without a second thought, Whitney pounced at Pietro. He fell hard on the ground, Natasha was shaking.

Whitney with her sharp teeth, was about to scourge him when Natasha screamed, "Whitney, don't!"

Her tears flowed down as she continuously plead.

I pity them.

"Whitney stop it. Calm down." I told her

I faint light glowed and she returned being a collie.

She just sat on his chest. She looked at me, Whitney was smiling.

Pietro was struggling to removed her off of him. "Get off me!" he commanded, but she never moved instead she started growling again.

"It seems she doesn't listen to you. She doesn't consider you her alpha." Natasha who has calmed down and was sitting beside a stump.

"Shut up, Natasha" Pietro said angrily as he tried removing Whitney off him.

He looked at me with anguish, "Get her off me!"

Whitney bit him before she ran to me. His hand which she bit never stopped bleeding, "Why you--!" he held his hand and ran away.

Natasha looked at us, she stood up as she shook her clothes. She smiled and said, "You can take the south route, after 500 meters turn right, you'll see a shack there. Take shelter there for the moment. I'll come visit you tomorrow."

At that she left. I cannot trust them, I followed them here just to be ambushed.

I took another route, Whitney bit my short and pulled me to an area, "Okay girl, you lead the way"

She barked happily and lead the way. It was a different one. The fields doesn't have any trees nor flowers. It's just grass. We were six hundred meters away from the center when Whitney galloped and I saw a small hut.

There's smoke coming out of the chimney.

As we approach the hut,  a beautiful woman can be seen through the window. I almost dropped to my knees when I saw her.

Whitney bit again my short, she wanted us to

come in.

She seems stronger than before, she push the door while biting my short.

The woman turned around. She has a long silver hair that lights up the shack, though blind, her other senses are strong.

She spoke, "Is that you, Frederick?"

I was petrified at that. At last I can see father. So he was staying with her all along.

But we buried her... We thought she's dead for years.

My voice started to crack and shake, "M-mom"

She smiled and said, "Samuel?"

She opened her arms, and I hugged her tight.

"My baby, I missed you so much"

"Mom how are you here? We thought you're dead."

"We've been running away from the hybrids, it turned out we're hiding near their lair. Your father will be home soon"

"Mom, I saw Natasha with the hybrids."

She walked away to sit on the couch near us.

"Sit beside me" she told me

Whitney followed her and rest her head on her lap.

Seems safe here. She's smarter than I thought.

"Natasha... Oh I remember her. "

The firewoods crackles as the darkness shrouded the forest outside. Fireflies freely roam,  lighting the paths, crickets sing and the moon shines brightly.

"Sam, the only people you can trust besides us, is Natasha. She's not a hybrid. She was the immortals's spy. She is to guard the alpha of the Colossal."

"I doubt that, mom. She was scared of Pietro"

"She should, Pietro is different from the other hybrids."

"Whitney, moments ago, she turned to a wolf. And my hair, before I got here, it changed"

The serious expression on her face suddenly changed, she smiled.

"You're different from us, no one except Frederick's sister and you have changed their hair color. As for Whitney..." she patted her fur and she jumped to the couch to sleep beside her.

Whitney is very comfortable around mom. She  looked at me, "Take care of her. There will be a time she'll become a great alpha"

"Speaking of father's sister. Where was she?"

She bow down staring at Whitney, "We believe that she's in here. That's why your father was here, searching for her. You won't be able to see us in the mortal world because this is hindered by someone's spell. Pietro used his abilities to transfer you here. This is the Mystical forest. Only hybrids and immortals can jumped here."

The grass started to rustled, the scent entered the shack that shook the flames in the pit.

"He's here" she stood up and went to the kitchen.

Footsteps were heard, I looked at Whitney, she was relaxed. I heard mom, "No hybrids can enter this area"

"How about Whitney? She's a hybrid"

The door opened and a cold breeze entered the place, the flames in the pit were blown off.

"She was becoming a pure bred colossal" a male voice echoed inside

"Frederick, don't always do that.  Lit it up, please."

"I see that you've found us here, Whitney."

Her head rose up and barked once, she was wagging her tail.

Father walked to the fireplace, and spoke, "How are you, Sam" he's back was facing me, he was lighting the fireplace.

It only took him seconds before it lit up and warmed the place.

"I'm confused."

"That's normal", he stood up and faced me.

I feel nauseous when I saw him.
