Episode 3

"Ava! Is that you?" ...

I woke up in my dorm with extinguishing pains in my head.

"Fuck! What happened?". I asked Lola, as she slowly approached my bed, sitting next to me.

"I'm sorry, you had to feel this way, but on the bright side, we finally talked with the spirit living inside of you". She whispered, lest she disturbs the slumbering Lun.

Lola was just about to tell me what transpired in my unknown state, but we were interrupted by the headmaster, Mr Fred, as he walked into my room, asking me to follow him.

I was neither in the frame of mind, but I had no choice but to agree...

Lola assisted me to the library, I had no idea why we were there, but I had a rethink when Elijah and Liam came out of the library walls.

"Please! Don't tell me we have to do another ritual!!?". I grumbled to them.

"No! But we are here to seek a solution out of the dilemma we're in".

Liam entrusted me with a history book.

I looked at myself, unsure what to do with it.

"I'm sorry, what am I supposed to do with this?". I handed it over to Lola.

"Read! And make sure you don't skip anything... Because we need clues to get you separated from Luna Margaret before the next full blood moon in a week".

He responded, going back to meet his brother...

Lola and I went back to our dorm, and she wanted to keep the book beside my reading stool, however, I had it stopped, asking her not to keep the book near me.

I lay down on my bed, and shortly after watching Lola pace around the room, trying to find her nightgown, I fell asleep.

Everything became quiet, but suddenly I fell into a trace that brought me to a school building, that looked like it had been burnt to the ground.

I saw a Lady crying with her knees knelt on the ground. I swiftly navigated closer to the Lady and then I placed my hand on her shoulder.

"Ma'am! Who're you?". I asked softly.

And right there the head of the lady turned back and it was the Luna "Margaret".

"You!?". I exclaimed, taking my hand away.

"Yes! Ava, it's me". She got up from the ground and wiped her knee.

"Wait! How am I talking with you?". I rephrased a few steps back.

"What?? You do know this is a trance right? And this happens to be the only way I can talk with you,". She expressed.

"Ava! I need your help?". She extended.

"Help?? What do you mean? I can't help you, remember you took forceful possession of my body?". I reminded her, she tightened up, her expression unyielding.

"Of course Ava!! Do you want to know why I chose you and not someone else?". She flashed a mischievous smile my way.

"It's because, you're special, Ava..... And this academy and these people won't help you get to embrace your true nature ".

She added, and even when I mentioned Elijah's and Liam's names, she laughed, asking me not to put my trust in the same people who betrayed her.

The very one who had deceived her?..

Margaret asked me to help her retrieve her body; though I explained to her that Liam and Elijah had that sorted out, she was so certain that they'd do something at the end to stop her from coming back, what can an eighteen-year-old do to stop two grown werewolf men?.

"Ava! I want you to give me total access to your body".

She made a bizarre request...

"Wow! " I laughed, I assumed she made a joke, but her unyielding expression made me rethink.

"Oh? You're serious?". I uttered.

"Yeah! Please, grant me access to your body completely on the full blood night and I will be able to get access in case anything is said to happen ".

She fired back a response.

Why should I allow Luna Margaret to completely take control of my body? Would I be indirectly signing the death sentence of everyone at the academy?..

"Luna? Can you at least tell me why you hate everyone at the academy?". I asked, not excluding Liam and Elijah.

Her face became extremely sad, the moment I requested to know the truth of what happened decades ago.

"Ava, I wasn't always vengeful". She grabbed sand from the ground and blew it out of her hand.

"How do you mean?". I retorted, " Did something bad happen?". I asked her.

"Yes! I was unjustly killed by the same people I called my own... They murdered me and made sure that I didn't have anything to say when the werewolf elders made a declaration that I had to be sacrificed for the peace of the land".

Her hands clenched into fists as she spoke.

"How do you mean? I still don't understand?".

I waited for her nerves to settle down before asking further questions...

And she went back to the beginning in which everything started.

It was during those times that the werewolf council were very active, and her husband was one of the council members, happily married with a child, Luna Margaret had the hope of someday changing the world.

Her plans were good and full of dreams, it was evident that the council of members had a different plan, they wanted to enslave the humans there by using a werewolf apocalypse.

Every human would die and resurrect as a werewolf, in other words, " get rid of the humans and make the entire world full of werewolves" Their plans were Aborted by the witch's council and the vampire, including Luna Margaret's husband, but he didn't feel it was a good idea to shift the balance of the world but the elders, thirsty for world Domination, began a killing spree, one human after another was recorded missing and their bodies were not found not until two months later, the humans would return home like nothing ever happened.

The same thing kept on happening, Luna Margaret discussed with her husband to speak with the council, and while she spoke with the witches, her husband agreed but on the night of the full moon, he was killed by the elders and the remains of his body, carried back to Margaret.

Angry at the outcome, Luna Margaret being not just a witch but also a werewolf, sought help from the witch Alana " Witch Alana who she thought would help her, connived with the council and they got her killed, not just that, her child was also murdered, they feared that, she would become a threat to them.

They may have succeeded in killing Luna Margaret but her soul reminded, vengeful to avenge her husbands and daughter's unjust demise, she had to take control of the body of a young werewolf, not just any werewolf, the one who'd one day raise and one day, become " the true hybrid ". And I happened to be that person, I am to become the true Hybrid.
