The cold night was eerie and silent. Everything except Alice's mind. She was certain there were burn marks on her body before her father brought her home and even after that how did the burns suddenly disappear? Her father had told her the lot he knew about her essence but still, Alice had questions that only the mouthpiece of the Oracle could answer. She had gone to the priest, the bridge between the mortals and their supreme being to get answers to her questions."The path you seek can only be made clear to she that sought it" the priest sang in a ritual song to her. "What do you mean, great one?""I don't have the answers to the questions you seek. But I can take you to a place to get the answers" the priest responded. "But you must be willing and ready" the priest added."I'm ready," Alice said defiantly. "Then, I must warn you. The journey you are set to embark on is a tricky one. You be careful with home to trust even in the spirit world. Recklessness and ignorance are the bir
Back at the werewolf camp, Emila quietly entered the prisoner's room without anyone noticing. Her target, Nicholas was sitting on a bottom bunk with his back to her. She stopped a couple of feet away from him and immediately he became rigid and tense, undoubtedly, realizing she was nearby. Emilia had such a strong stench it was impossible for another wolf or any being with a high sensation to miss or not recognize her stench from a distance. Nicholas on his part had been acting all weird out, it seemed as though his abilities had been restrained during his stay in the prison yard. Left to the rest of the council, Nicholas would long have been dead. But no, even Emila prevented them because she had read the handwriting on the wall. It got clearer. Most buildings didn't look beautiful in their foundation state. It only becomes beautiful when the building is completed. And some buildings that appeared beautiful at the beginning stages ended up being an eyesore when it was completed. N
The heart of a pure witch picked up the heartbeat of what was going on in the bush behind her. There was no way she would miss the heartbeat of numerous black witches springing from one area. “Where are you going?” Lucas asked the second she stood up to dive into the woods. Perhaps he was feeling with the distraught heartbeat of his mate that was trapped in the woods. How could he not? “I’m going into the woods” Alice confided and he immediately stood up. “I’m coming with you” he breathed rashly. He looked behind him when he saw her gaze fixed behind him. “The children will be just fine without me. The others can take care of them until our return” he added. Alice not wanting to delay any longer quickly nodded and head in approval and before long the two were delving further and further into the woods. Lucas had changed into a wolf, running ahead of Alice to get to the spot. Unlike his mate Emilia, he wasn’t a sentinel, nor was he a born werewolf. He was a born human and only became
Jesse swung his sword left, and right, ducking the way he'd been taught to when the dummy mechanically swung its sword at him in an offensive way that would have slashed his chest, something Jesse thought would greatly please his sadistic father if he hadn't parried the strike. It was all his father's idea, making him train with a dummy. Something Jesse had thought would be easy until he realized the dummy fought harder and more expertly than anyone he'd ever trained with. Nice, Jesse bitterly thought, slashing again and missing the dummy who stepped out of the attack zone and roughly kicked at his legs, making him stumble and barely keep his balance. Jesse didn't know what to call this bloodthirsty thing fighting with him but 'dummy' didn't cover it."Watch your feet, Nicholas! You're too negligent with your feet!" His father barked from where he was sitting, munching on grapes and watching his son fight something greater than him. Jesse was suspecting that the man was getting some
The events of the school week weighed heavily on Alice she could not interpret the strange encounter she had with the new guy hunterShe had noticed earlier the creeping feeling of being Followed on Monday an act which she found most annoying to shake off having taken the long route home that night felt like a bad idea on it's own, with how late it was she regretted the extra time she spent at the library only because the last bus for the night had already passed through the station for the night That meant one thing for her.

There was no need to freak out there were thousands of explanation as to how the clothes could have gone into the drawer am sure one would fit…surely millions of thoughts had rang trough the brain of Alice in less than 20 minutes. looking at her father who had been staring at her continuously for a while now she realized something must have been off for him to keep staring at her it took her brain a few minutes to gather her thoughts and realize that his lips where actually moving “Alice stop spacing out and have your meal” her father spoke “Am sorry dad “ Alice replied back almost immediately “It’s all right sweetheart, I know the unexpected move must have taken quiet the toll on you and I haven’t been the best at sharing feelings your mum was better at this” her father confessed“no dad you’re a great father, it is I who haven’t given you an opportunity mummy’s gone and I need to grow past this and move on with you am sorry for the way I reacted yesterday.

A light groan could be heard coming off from the bed in the center of the room“Alice!” “Alice !” she’s waking up ….”Adrian go find Emilia hurry” Lucas yelled as he rushed off “Where am I” Alice asked in surprise looking around she realized she was home again or at least she hoped she was but seeing Lucas confirmed she truly was home her eyes watered to finally be back home whatever she saw a dream or reality she could still not understand but being in the arms of her friend she was safeHasty footsteps rushed into the room Alice was meet with the teary eyes of Emilia as she rushed to the bed and embraced her tightly both lost in each other’s embrace time seemed to come to a standstill as the men where asked to excuse Alice for a moment in other for her to change and refresh herself, “what happened to me Emilia” Alice asked With resolve and unhappiness Emilia recounted the events that occurred while Alice laid asleep“it was after the fight with the seven witches which had sur
