Elsa hesitated. She looked at the men as they climbed the stairs. "No," she shook her head, "I'm not leaving you here." She spread her palms out to them, casting a spell that sent them falling back to the ground with a thud.She held her hands to both sides and floated as she descended from upstairs. She used her supernatural power to throw a flower vase at Sasha.Sasha left Philip and held her fist in the air. The vase shattered into pieces and fell to the ground. Philip dropped, free from Sasha's spell. He noticed the two guys going after Elsa, and he flung himself towards them. He punched one of them and threw him to the ground. ***********Michael walked to Elsa's house, he wanted to express his gratitude for what she did for him. When he got to her house, he noticed that something was happening inside. He threw open the door to observe what was going on. Everyone was engrossed in the fight, so no one appeared to notice his presence.He witnessed the two men beating Philip. He wa
Michael opened his eyes after a few hours. He sat up, squinting and scratching his eyes. He lifted himself up from the floor and tied the towel he found covering him firmly around his waist. He had shifted fully into a wolf without the presence of the full moon. It was something he hadn't done before. Memories of the previous night flashed in his head. As much as he'd wanted to deny it, he really had to talk to his father. He had heard what Sydney knew, but it wasn't enough for him. He wanted to know his origin, his real family, and why they gave him up. "You were trying to say something hours ago, before you passed out." Sydney's voice drifted Michael out of his wonder zone. He swiftly turned in response to the startling voice, his eyes flashing in that direction. "Yeah," Michael agreed, when his eyes fell on Sydney. "We need to find the golden dirk before the ravens do." He gazed at his shredded clothes lying on the ground and thought of what he'd wear."Here!" Sydney hurled a shir
It was dark, but the bright moonlight helped illuminate the night, so bright that a werewolf could see brightly without gleaming their wolf eyes. The rain descended heavily from the firmament, and Michael found himself standing under the cloudburst in the middle of the scanty forest; he had no idea of the exact place he was. He hurried to search for a place to hide to avoid getting drenched by the rain. He stopped and studied himself, noticing he wasn't getting wet by the rain. It took him some time to realise that he was in Nicholas's memory. He wondered why Nicholas had brought him here. A while later, he heard sounds. It was not the rumbling of thunder, nor was it the roaring of winds, or the heavy rain drops that fell to the ground; it was heartbeats. He heard two heartbeats. Listening closely, he heard indistinct voices. He ventured deeper into the forest, trying to locate where the voice came from. He shuffled through the trees, and the voice became vivid. He walked further ti
In the present world, Nicholas opened his eyes to see blood dripping down Michael's arm. He attempted to withdraw his hands, but he was unable to do so due to the firm grip. Their hands were covered in blood from the claws they dug into each other's palms, which dropped copiously, forming a large pool of blood on the floor beneath their hands. Nicholas yelled out, "Michael." After some time, Michael finally opened his eyes. His breathing was erratic as he pulled back his claws and relaxed his back on the sofa. Sweat dripped from his body. When Nicholas shoved forward and put a hand on Michael's neck, he realized he was burning up. "What happened to you?" He questioned."I was shot with wolfsbane." Michael muttered, fighting to keep his eyes open as he began to feel drowsy. "And you didn't consider telling me? How awful is it? Let me take a look." Nicholas stood up from the couch.Michael raised the short sleeve over his arm, groggily. Nicholas slowly shook his head, realizing how
When Rebecca returned from work, she yelled. "I'm home!" walking towards the front door. "Who missed---" she was interrupted as she slammed her body hard against a strong force whilst trying to go in through the front door."Ow," she groaned. "Is this some kinda game?" She hollered, looking around, her gaze sweeping over the door. She tried to go through again, but the force kept preventing her. She walked around the house to the back door. It had been left wide open, which caused a frown to form on her forehead because it was unusual. The back door was always closed, and it wasn't supposed to be left wide open.Rushing into the dark room that moonlight dimly flashed into, she spread her palms and fire burst out, illuminating the room. She walked to the switch and turned on the lights. A gasp left her mouth as her eyes scanned the room. It was a total mess; everything was chaotically disorganized."Emily!" She screamed and hurriedly climbed up the stairs, searching thoroughly, but s
Richard moved quickly, carrying an unconscious Emily in his hands, to the raven enclave.It was already noon when he arrived, and he walked in an open spot where the guards keeping watch would see him easily.Before he approached the gate, the guards saw him and immediately gathered themselves around the gate, waiting for him to get closer, and when he did, they opened the gate immediately, positioned with their weapons.As Richard strode in, his eyes scanned the very familiar community."Blake!" He yelled, "I have the hybrid!"Just then, Blake flapped his wings from behind the guards as they made way for him, and he landed in front of Richard."I brought her already. Can I get my wings?""Not yet, brother!" Blake hollered. "Where is the golden dirk?""I don't have it,""What do you mean, you don't have it? You would undoubtedly take it after killing the ravens.""Well, I didn't. It was almost sunset. I had to rush here with the hybrid, can't afford to get my wings burnt."Blake studi
Elsa held up her fist and cast a repose spell on Sydney, which caused him to slump and roll down the stairs."Michael!" Emily screamed, and they all rushed to him as he groaned loudly. Blood oozed from his shoulder, where the golden dirk was stuck."Pull it out!" He told Jacob, who used his left hand to press him down before he sharply pulled out the golden dirk with his right hand.A deep growl escaped Michael's throat as he quickly clutched at this bleeding stomach. Jacob helped him up with an arm around his shoulder. Nicholas rushed over to the sleeping Sydney and carried him."We should go." Elsa shouted, and they all charged in the gate's direction. "Wait!" Emily's words caused them to halt. "My father... I wanna go find him." "I'll come with you." Jacob said without hesitation. He took Michael to Elsa, and she collected his arm and took it around her neck. "Go," Jacob told Elsa after she had collected Michael, and she nodded.Jacob and Emily hurried away to look for Richard. A
"How is that even possible? It should only affect a hybrid." Emily took a few steps close to Nicholas. "He's only a werewolf, right?"Nicholas nodded. "I'm as confused as you are." "A witch spelled it... Maybe Elsa can help. I'll go get her." Emily left Michael's house scared and worried that something bad would happen to Michael if they didn't take action on time. She walked at a fast pace and she bumped into Giselle, who also looked worried and distressed."I can't find Victoria," Giselle complained. "She's not at her store and she's not home; it's weird.""She has definitely gone in search of Jacob." Emily said."And it doesn't bother you? Shall I remind you that half of my family is missing because of you?""Of course it bothers me, and I feel terrible about it.""Feeling bad won't make any difference. We need to save Jacob.""Gee, Chris is still recovering. Sydney is not on our side and Michael got stabbed by a weapon that's spelled to kill only a hybrid, but it's killing him."
