There’s a saying that Friday the 13th is a curse. They said that something bad will happen in that day. But today is not Friday, also not 13th day, but many bad already happened to Sierra.
“This is just the beginning, Sierra.”
She heard the voice again. Sierra continued to vomit blood. Tears were streaming down her face as her expression says it all.
Pain.
The pain in her chest is unbearable, Sierra thought that this might be from her broken ribs but to vomit many blood is another case. Something is happening in her body. She’s now starting to feel the heat. She’s sweating heavily.
Finally she stopped, but the pain and heat is still there. She wiped her mouth using her clothes.
And here she thought that she’s now free. So much for her expectations.
“Why?” she couldn’t eve
“YOU better get back to rest.”Kaito has been following Sierra around. The stubborn woman eagerly jumped out of the bed and wander around his small hut. He keeps stopping her from doing anything, scolded her and tried to command her to go back to bed, but she is so hard headed.“How? What happened?” she ignored him.He frowned as he watched the woman walk back and forth.“No. No. You said I’ll die!” she suddenly shouted which startled him.'Is she talking to herself?’ Kaito asked himself. ‘Did I brought a crazy person inside my home?’ he winced.He observed what the woman is doing and so far she has done nothing violent.“I said I can’t accept this!” she shouted again and get a handful of her
As Kaito is a meters away from his home, he smelled something burningKaito wrinkled his nose and blew.“What was that?” he asked himself. “Did the woman cooked something and burned it?”He walk faster and as he approached his house he had his mouth hanging open. He slowed down and stopped. He stared at his house, his eyes will surely pop out.Kaito didn’t know what to feel. He was too shocked on what he’s seeing. His house is burning, half of it is already ashes. Kaito looked for the woman for she is the only culprit, but no trail directed him to her.“Ah. How unlucky of me.” Kaito said to himself as he stared at his house burned to ashes.Meanwhile…Sierra was feeling guilty as she walked towards the direction of the town
Sierra sighed as she glanced at the scenery in front of her. Finally, after how many days of walking, she now arrived at the town of Stonehenge. Why did she even walked, anyway?“Stonehenge doesn’t accept rides from nearby towns,” said the late guardian of fire.Sierra is sitting under the protection of a tree. She’s eating an apple that she found along the way. Fruits has been her diet while traveling barefooted, because obviously she won’t survive not eating.The is sun waving above as the breeze kissed her skin. She found refuge under the shadow of the big tree.“What to do now?” Sierra asked.“You have to enter through the front gate,” the late guardian of fire answered.The town of Stonehenge is surrounded by tall walls. It is impossible for some
“Are you ok, Alpha?”Zachary blinked and looked at Summer. He didn’t noticed that the man already invaded his office. He cleared his throat and pretend to scan the papers on his table.“Don’t you have a hand to knock?” he said without looking at Summer.“I actually knock several times, Alpha.”Zachary hid his embarrassment. He had called Summer to his office to have him report the daily count of rogues attacking them. He didn’t mean to daydream. Zachary sighed.“I think you need a break.” Summer stated.He brushed off his hair and rest his back on his seat. “No.” he declared. “Report for duty, beta.” he commanded.“Aye, sir.” Summer was hesitant but he had no choice but to obey. He was worried about their Alpha for it has been working non-stop since Sierra, his mate, left.
Seirra woke up feeling light-headed for all the trainings and practice she got. She slowly sat up from her bed and checked the calendar posted in her wall.Three months has passed since she accepted being a guardian and trained under the supervision of the jerk Jones.She's been training with him non-stop and so far her progress is excellent. Thou, she thinks her trainer is not satisfied. Instead of congratulating her, he's been acting like an ass around her.She sighed and stood up to take a shower. Ever since she stepped a foot in this remotely village, the late guardian of fire has not been answering to her calls.Is this what she said that she'll vanish once she wont be needing her anymore?
Sierra didn't know what to do as she was walking towards the hall with Jones. She was dressed in a dress that hugged her curves and too short for her liking.She looked down at her appearance and winced. Will she attend a funeral? Why did Jones picked a black dress?She looked at the man walking ahead of her. He was wearing a formal suit. Sierra was wondering what kind of meeting they will attend.Do they really need to wear this formal attire?She has seen the guardians residing in this town. She didn't saw kids, just teenagers and adults.When they arrived at the hall she was surprised to see how crowded it is. She followed Jones closely, if she wouldn't she would have been lost in the crowd by now.She has no idea on what's about to happen next or what would the 'madame' announce. She's still considered as a newbie so she kept her questions to
Zachary travelled on foot. There are no transportation that will stop at Stonehenge because the village literally doesn't accept travelers.His journey went well and he's now sitting at the tallest tree near the village who is surrounded by big walls. All he sees are tall walls and the trees inside it even he's standing at the tallest tree.Zachary looked around. This area seems desserted. He didn't saw animals wandering around. It seems like they are avoiding something inside.It has always been a wonder for Zachary what lies beyond that wall. The Stonehenge villagers doesn't isolated their selves for nothing. There must be a big reason behind it.No one attempted to intrude inside because of it's reputation.&nb
Sierra sighed. He's no hope. He won't even confess the truth to her. Does she need to reveal it for him?Why wouldn't he tell her? What's wrong with him? Why is he hesitating?She looked up at the sky covered with leaves and branches. The quiet of the night and the coolness of the wind makes their situation awkward.It looks like she has nothing more to say to Zachary. Same back at him, he can't even say what she wants to hear from his own mouth."I need to go." She said and attempted to pass beside him but he held her waist quickly.Sierra's heart stopped beating for a second. Tingles sparks when their skin touch and she was sure Zachary felt it too.She looked at him. He quickly let go of her."Sorry...""What was that?""My hand just acted on it's own. I'm so sorry."
