EMMA’S GIFT

Emma sighed, both in relief and out of weariness, when Amelia slumped to the ground in front of her. Finally. She mused. Inhaling deeply for strength, she squatted, and touched her sister’s forehead with her right palm. The latter’s temperature was warm; just the right amount. She also perused the latter’s mind repeatedly, to see if there was any other sliver in her mind, or in any part of her body. She let herself fall to the ground when she saw nothing of that sort in her mind. Amelia was finally free from the hold of the mage. Emma, her eyes scanning the skies above, let out a large gush of air from her mouth. Then, she took a deep one, rubbing her belly slowly. She was hungry. Very hungry. She was tired too. She needed to rest, and she would have if she didn’t hear Prescott’s sudden gasp of terror. It was then that Emma remembered the wall of fire around them. She hadn’t put it out yet! She hoped that it hadn’t done harm to an overzealous Prescott.Immediately, she got to her

EMMA’S FIRST RUN

Emma had never imagined she would run through the forest as a wolf. It was her first time, and everything looked different, from the eyes of an animal. A huge animal. The taller trees towered high above her, their branches reaching out like giant arms, while medium sized trees—she hoped—were of the same height with her; she could see above them. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, creating patterns of light and shadow on the forest floor.As she sprinted towards Annabel’s training academy, her friends slung over her back, Emma couldn't help but feel amazed. The ground felt different beneath her paws compared to her human feet. Each step sent vibrations through her body, connecting her to the earth in a new way.The air was filled with the scent of pine and damp earth. Emma's nose twitched as she took in all the new smells. She had never realized how much there was to smell in the forest – the musky scent of animals, the sweet fragrance of flowers hidden among the underbrush.She he

THE COUNCIL

Emma, still in her wolf form, perused the woman standing at akimbo, watching her with suspicious eyes. The woman was beautiful, interesting with that eyes of hers. Eyes of an eagle. She must be a gatekeeper then.That thought resonated true in Emma’s being. This was the gatekeeper of the academy. She gently turned, such that her face was now looking at the woman directly. Stern. That would be another adjective for the gatekeeper. Emma thought, knowing that the woman had seen her, maybe since she had entered the forest.“What is your name? State your business.”Emma shifted on her paws. Could her wolf talk out loud? She needed to shift. But she came with no clothes. Walking around naked wasn’t appealing with her. She had to communicate with the woman in some other way. Emma made a quick decision as soon as a certain idea dropped in her mind. She lowered herself onto the ground, gently allowing her unconscious friends to slide off her back and onto the cool stones of the courtyard. Wi

THE COUNCIL II

“And that’s everything, in summary.” Emma concluded her story, her eyes perching on each of the seven elders in the room. Five others had joined as she had narrated the tale that belonged to her, the tale that was ridden with holes—she didn’t think it wise to say everything, never mind that Annabel trusted them. So far, none had interrupted her amidst her long talk to ask any question. She hoped there wouldn’t be much now. She needed to sleep. She needed to eat. Her stomach chose that time to grumble. Emma held back a snort, at the offending organ. “We will let you go soon. We just need to get the facts straight, before letting you into our organization. Annabel must have told you that we are quite secretive.” A woman spoke, the only female amongst the rulers. Emma nodded. “She did.” She couldn’t help but wonder what gifts the woman had. Was she on par with the gatekeeper who was standing guard at the door? If Alitha was there, who was gu

THE COUNCIL III

Incessant knocking woke Emma up from one of the most peaceful sleeps she has ever enjoyed; a reprieve from the rough ones plagued with weird dreams she has been having these past two weeks. Dreams that she never understood, or even remembered afterward. "Who is there?!" She shouted from the bed, when the knock dropped again, to prevent the knocker from breaking down the fine doors that protected the entrance of her room. Couldn’t they let her be in peace for a whole week? She has suffered in this short life of hers! Even though she was aware now of the responsibility on her shoulders, she would have preferred quality food and sleep over trainings."It's Gira. You have a meeting with the council now." Gira. That was the name of the lady that had led her to the suite, that had promised to take care of Prescott with utmost care. Emma sat up on the bed grudgingly, and looked around her room with groggy eyes. She sighed wearily when her eyes found a clock, at a bend in her suite. The

AT THE TRAINING GROUND

Prince Shiloh. Emma kept tasting the name on her lips for reasons best known to her as Gira led her into the academy where lessons were specifically taught. When she heard the clashing of swords, she knew that they were close. She willfully left the funny thoughts of her mind and focused on her surroundings, on the gargoyles that she so much hated at one time in her life. Now, she found them to be an interesting work of act. The walls and the hallways bore a similar resemblance to the other walls of the academy where she had already been through. But she noticed that the classes were empty, the classes that she had passed. They were empty except for books and bags on the tables and walls. She saw the lockers behind, and noted that they operated similar combination as the ones she was used to. The only difference was the location. She preferred this method; it would stop the crowding in the hallways. Maybe that was the reason why it had been made this way. "Where's everyone?" She a

AT THE TRAINING GROUND II

Adah. Emma took note of the name, took note of the voice of the female that seemed to be the only one on her side, just as she took note of the names of the professors. Quinn and Brooks. All that left now was to know which name belonged to the male with gray eyes or the one with black eyes; both who were still glaring at her in all incredulity. She also noticed that Gira, who had chosen to leave earlier, had now taken a stance a few feet away from her, to watch the show, and maybe give a report to Prince Shiloh. Why wasn't he the king? She wondered. She had called him King af first, because his aura had shown him to be that; a ruler of all. So, why wasn’t he one? Or was there someone else higher than him? His father? Emma shook her head. It didn’t seem so. Or was ‘Prince’ just the tag they had chosen for a ruler of the community? Did the word ‘King’ translate to a dictator in their dictionary? Emma forwent these mundane thoughts though, when the male with grey eyes, the most da

AT THE TRAINING GROUND III

Emma froze in shock, seeing a cougar dash and stand in front of her, blocking the exit; stopping her from making an exit.The professor was a cougar? She watched Professor Brooks’ form which had morphed into that of a sleek cougar, and noted that its amber eyes were fixed on her with an unnerving intensity. Was he a natural cougar? Or was he a human that had been gifted a shifter’s abilities?Her heart raced as a wave of disbelief washed over her. This shouldn’t be real. Professors were respected academics, not creatures reserved for the forest. Emma's mind struggled to grasp the surreal scene before her, and the speed of the shift. It could only mean that the Professor was highly trained; that this might be his strongest ability—shifting. She could read his aura, and it was terrifying, never mind that her wolf was stronger.‘At least you acknowledge that.’Emma held back a scoff. Were there others like him? She wondered, when the cougar began to circle her, preparing for an attack

CHECKING IN

Freya and Lucille lounged in Freya's room, the remnants of their training session evident in their relaxed yet slightly weary postures. They huddled together, glancing at Freya's phone with hesitant expressions, silently debating whether to disobey their mother's order to call their sister Emma first.Lucille had been the one to see the message at first. Due to Derek’s comatose state and her role in it, she had been unable to sleep—she had kept turning and tossing on her own bed. And unable to take it anymore, and not wanting to disturb her mate whose sleep was to too necessity to be ignored, she had crept into Freya’s room, to sleep with her sister.Freya had awoken once Lucille’s foot had gone past the doorpost of the unlocked door. And though Freya was shocked to see Lucille in her room by that hour, she had welcomed the latter with open arms. They had cuddled themselves, about to return to sleep, when the phone had dinged. Freya hadn’t cared for it, wanting to return to sleep, bu

MOTHER’S REBUKE

"What are you two doing? Who are you talking with?" Freya and Lucille swiftly swerved, balking when they saw their mother step into the room. The phone on Freya's hand dropped to the floor with a large thump, grabbing Sheila's attention. A frown masked Sheila's face as she guessed who her girls had been speaking to; their sister. It would explain the guilty countenance on their faces. She wanted to laugh at their similar comical expressions, but they had disobeyed her. She wouldn't take that. "You both called Emma? I remembered tasking everyone not to. Or you both thought you were exempted because she is your sister?" Lucille instantly retreated behind Freya, as if seeking protection from her mother. Freya kissed her teeth at her sister's sharp act of falling back in the face of their mother's anger, but didn't move or call the latter out. "We are sorry, mom." She said rather, startled when she realized that in all her years with Leonarya, she had never addressed the latter with
