The trio 8 years old..
Today we spent the day with the four supernatural fractions leaders and heirs. My father thinks that having alliances and knowing the vampires, fae, elves and witches will pave the way for a better future and help during the war that is not spoken of outside our little circle. Father doesn’t want to alarm our pack or the shifter community with this information he wants everyone to live fulfilling lives and not constantly worry about impending doom. While the parents did whatever the parents do while together the five of the leaders families are together us children were always taking part in warrior training it was a monthly thing for us our parents thought it was best to grow up together and learn each other’s strengths and weakness during battle so we could learn to work together. Makes sense really altogether there is 17 of us from the 5 fractions all various ages skills and leadership. In the morning they divide us up according to age the older children work together training while us younger ones work together training. We then take a break for lunch the resume training all together.I always looked forward to this day every month regardless of supernatural fractions and the gruesome training we undertake I look forward to spending time with children other than the twins Destin not so much the antisocial butterfly.We had just finished having lunch and we all ran out the door into the fields behind the pack house into the woods. “Race you all there” yelled Alvin the heir to the elf kingdom as he was the first to burst out through the door and take off running for the field. Destin the ever so competitive brute looked at me before taking off while yelling “you cheat Alvin you know you could only win by cheating” I couldn’t help but chuckle Destin the boy who hated these monthly meetings seems to be enjoying himself on the outside but I know better I know it’s just his competitive side rearing it head. To the left of me Colton is also giggling shaking his head he takes my hand it his and starts to run “come on princess we can’t let him win now can we”We head to our pretty lame cubby house as Alvin calls it made out of sheets we had stolen from the laundry yet again. “Maybe we could make a base together then Alvin” Marisha the fae princess offers. Alvin gives her a knowing nod I chose a tree a few steps away looking a little on the dead side of things. As he starts to walk towards the tree I have that creeping feeling of being watched again in the pit of my stomach I do a quick scan of our surroundings while sniffing to see if I can pick up a scent but come up empty handed. My actions don’t do unnoticed by Colton who puts an arm around my shoulders and whispers so no one else hears “you have that feeling again dont you” I nod my head to confirm as I nod Destin comes up beside me and takes my hand in his and entwines our fingers. puffs up his chest before reassuring he would let nothing and no one hurt me. Not going to lie his words give me butterflies it’s not unusual for Colton to be affectionate with me that is just Colton’s nature but Destin has never shown any affection to me or anyone else for that matter he always has his hard shell exterior on display.It does not go unnoticed either Karla the vampire heiress jumps down out of the tree and lands in front of us and stares at mine and destins entwined hands. “ awh is miss alpha princess your girlfriend Destin look how cute you are being with her” I can feel the anger radiating from Destin and his grip on my hand tightens at her words. “Shut your mouth bloodsucker before I shut it for you” Karla almost grimaced at his words being spat like venom before storing off to where Alvin was know touching the half dead tree with both hands placed on its base glowing a bright green.I had never seen anything like before but Alvin’s earth magic was slowly but surely seeping into the tree and it was slowly growing before our eyes it truly was a sight to behold. While Alvin was growing this magnificent magical tree Karla was now working on placing a vampire glamour up around our now growing tree cubby so it appeared to be a dead tree to the outside world only those of us present would have the ability to see past it. Marisha was also working the tree with a different kind of earth magic to shape the tree into the cubby we wanted as Alvin used his earth magic to keep it growing. Delilah moonlight coven nexts high priestess was standing the other side of Colton also watching on with awe. About ten minutes later and a very tired Alvin and Marisha the tree house was finally formed. Marisha had created intricate steps up the base of the tree leading up to a wooden platform above that along the base were some more steps leading up to another level where both she and Alvin had created wooden cubby house woven from the tree itself equipped with functioning doors and windows. We were all completely at a loss for words at the magical wonderland they had just created our sheet cubby really was nothing in comparison. We were all excited and we pretty much scurried up the two flights of stairs up into our very own elf and fairy tree cottage.We all stayed up there until we heard the bell ring signalling us to head back to the pack house. Break time was now over back to training we all went I really didn’t want to leave and was the last to climb down and a few steps before a could reach the bottom that horrible feeling was back again as though someone was watching me. it distracted me enough that my footing slipped off the step and I fell the remaining few steps down. Destin was there to catch me thankfully. As he lowered me down I heard a swig snap across the creek when I looked up I seen his angry red eyes glowing red it was the first but not the last time I saw him there watching. When our eyes met he soon took off running before I could say anything to Destin he was gone.Trio aged 10… It was a few years since I had seen his angry red eyes watching me although I had not seen him since I was eight when I was at the base with Colton and Destin I still had that eerie feeling of being watched in time and Colton’s comforting words I learnt to live with that feeling and pay no attention to it. Today included the twins and I were on the first platform before the second set of stairs leading to the tree house cottage. It was a nice spring day so the boys bought down the fishing gear and were fishing into the stream from the first floor platform it was one of the few things they enjoyed to do fishing was not a big wolf thing but the boys liked it even though they didn’t catch much. I was bored reading a book when a sudden thought came to mind I put my book down. “Let’s play chasey Im bored I don’t want to fish or read I want to run so how about a game of chasey” Colton did not look interested in such a game but Destin had that crooked smile of his plastered
16 year old trio.. Our personal training session has been nothing short of torture. But it has paid off Colton Destin and I are are the best skilled warriors in our pack how do I know this because we still have to partake in pack training sessions while we have been pretty segregated from the pack for the majority we still partake in all pack activities and attend our pack high school. We have friendships outside the trio but having guards with us 24/7 and our extra training puts a strain on the friendships. Destin has his warrior and typical jock friends Destin has his group of friends while I have mine. We also kind of merged our friendships as we prefer to stick together we have a group that all hangs out together to eat lunch with. I don’t get to do the things Sophie and maddy do like going shopping together or trips to the movies I do not feel any less apart of the group but I would like to join them on teenage experiences just once in a while outside of the pack house. My fathe
While we drive the forty minutes to the high school campus both Colton and I pull out our schedules we have five classes today and have two together. I don’t mind though because the other three classes I have with either Delilah, Alvin, Marisha or Karla. Makes me feel better knowing I have someone with me for my first day the F5 group chat has been blowing up since Colton let it slip we were starting today I did say we should have just surprised them. The F5 group chat is four other fraction alliances the shifters making the 5th fraction so F5 meaning fraction 5. We only have our age group in the F5 chat although we do have a group chat with all 17 of us heirs in it should we need to make contact between all of us that is a pretty dead chat but the F5 is always thriving apart from Destin and Karla who actively do not take part in the chat unless necessary. The group chats keeping me and Colton occupied and before we know it we have arrived. The building is a giant 1800s style castle
By now the whole class has taken a break and crowded around us on the mat. As we take our stance I take the time to assess his stance and any minor faults I can visibly notice without assessing his technique. The whistle blows and he gets straight to it and as expected comes straight at me swinging which I effortlessly duck and weave while jabbing him in the ribs while I do. he lacks stamina because Lucas is already getting short of breath and is acting out of anger and using very little technique. He charges at me again this time i weave and smash him in the chin while he is still recovering from the shock of my jab I round house kick him drop to a sweeping kick and put him flat on his back. The teacher blows the whistle and declares my win everyone starts to cheer when I hear a growl and some commotion behind me where I not to long ago left Lucas on his back in defeat. When I turn around Chase is on top of Lucas repeatedly punching him in the face. The teacher gets in and breaks the
Chases strides are long and fast and I’m all but jogging to keep up. It was the first time I could truly take in his appearance up close his long black hair was slicked back, the skinny ripped Jeans looked as though they could combust with all the muscle underneath them. His v neck black shirt clung nicely to his sculptured body with tribal tattoos up both arms the only colour on him was the long sleeved red checkered shirt tied around his waste. His eyes were dark brown almost black and his dimple would make anyone melt. I cleared my throat and found the courage to speak “um thanks for helping out with Lucas today I hope you didn’t get in too much trouble” Chase threw his head back and let out a laugh. “Trouble is my middle name.. besides now we are even you saved me all those years ago I was only returning the favour” He suddenly stops in front of a door opens it and struts inside. I briefly glance at the door number to confirm this is my class I look into the class to see Alvin
Alvin and I walk into the pack house my parents are already awaiting our arrival. They smile proudly at the both of us “how was the first day sweetie” my mother asks. I plastered on a fake smile and stop the impulse to reply oh it was great I had made an enemy , got detention oh and chase the alpha to be of the obsidian pack has declared to make my life a living hell. I swiftly tell my parents “ it was great i am so excited to expand my training and education sorry I’m late Alvin and I wanted to get a head start on a project we were given today” My father pats Alvin’s back firmly “thatta boy Alvin you will make a fine leader for the elves one day” alvin smiles in return and thanks my father explains he too is late home and better get going. We say our good byes and I thank Alvin. It’s been a big day and want to retreat to my room as I’m heading up the stairs two at a time my father yells out to me not to forget about the dinner tomorrow night. I internally kick myself I forgot about
We arrive at school the F5 crew is already awaiting our arrival. Destin puts his arm around my shoulder as we head towards our group of friends. Karla looks agitated today and storms off as me are approaching I make a mental note to check in with her and see if she is okay. I have first period with her so I will take the opportunity to ask her then. I greet Delilah and Marisha with a hug while the boys give Alvin and his brother skeeter a fist bump. We chat for a bit before heading off to class. Colton is walking me to my class this morning he stops outside the door and gives me a hug. We don’t notice chase until he bumps Colton’s shoulder on his way inside. My sweet boy Colton just shrugs it off and takes off into a sprint to get to his class. I walk into the class room and scan the room Karla isn’t in the room and I have two choices the empty desk in front of Chase or the seat next to him. Definitely going with the desk in front. The teacher jumps straight into it and starts handing
The words princess is written across the piece of paper in writing I do not recognise. Unfolding the letter I read it in shock. “Sorry about today princess. I do not want my grades to rely on a project you wrote yourself. Meet me at the base at 10:30 tonight so I can hand my half of the paper into you to proof read… chase” I fold the piece of paper back up and slip it into my pocket as I make my way down the stairs. There’s two long tables set out beautifully one table for the parents the other for the children or should I say teenagers because we are all in high school. Karla has taken my usual seat I do not mind though and sit myself in between Alvin and Marisha. We talk about school and our training after dessert we head to the games room and turn a movie on. I can not focus on the movie no the only train of thought is my letter from alpha dick. Who does he think he is to make such requests of me why the base why not the library before school or something. I am bought back to the
