Chapter 92Meera could not believe what was happening in front of her. She had been watching the little play that she found amusing, she had to give it to them that the wolves indeed had a flair for the dramatic. The way they were all standing and looking like they had just received the biggest shock of their lives amused her to no end. It was almost as if they still thought they would be able to save her and even if they thought they did, it was just something that made her laugh even more. Scarlett had been destined for death the moment she had been captured by Meera and she had been smiling just a few minutes ago at the amount of pain that she was causing the wolves to feel.Then the Oliver boy had done something, she felt the thrum of magic from him and her heart lurched as she realized that she had made a very big mistake. She thought Scarlett was one of a kind, the only wolf with a special ability and even though she had been seeing Oliver around he even tried to attack her beca
Many are called, but a few are chosen. This should be the exact proverb to sum up Scarlett's eighteen years on earth, but there was a glitch that happened somewhere along the line. Fate and nature had stopped her from fulfilling her destiny, making her imagine that this was all she had to push forward. Scarlett sat at the extreme left of the house, looking directly towards the half-moon. It had appeared in the starless sky earlier than usual. Could it be that something was about to happen? If Olivia was here with her, she would have been easily informed of the future, past and present, but, mother will never let them be together in the same space. She sometimes wondered who put the idea in her mom's head that they were actually going to live a normal life like this? She couldn't even remember the last time she saw her family. And, Elder Quinn barely mingled with the others in the community, so they were more or less secluded. Her pale fingers hoisted up a stick, and she go
There were ten students sketching a dinosaur on the teacher's desk, not to be naughty, but to while away time. Oliver was part of those students. He stood hunched over the desk, with a charcoal between his lips, and a pencil poised in his palm and forefinger. There was a hazy image of a dinosaur, that seemed to be dated to the 70s at the back of his mind's eye as he sketched. It brought an electric buzz through his pencil.Oliver wasn't a kid, he was eighteen, but still he found pleasure in behaving this way. This was the only childish thing about him, nothing more. His hands moved expertly through the desk, until he was jerked by Taylor, his best friend.In a split second, he saw Taylor licking Eleanor, his girlfriend's pussy like, it was his ice-cream. Oliver eyes dilated as his fingers stopped its movements on the table. Like a bad video tape, the video seemed to expand, and he noted Eleanor's brother filming the two as he stood by the door, away from sight."What are you doing?"
The grandfather clock chimed loudly as it struck 2pm. Oliver's visibly shook at its loudness. The damn thing never knew when to stop. It was the absolute nemesis of his life. He was so annoyed that his father had replaced the modern clock with this, all in a bid to belong in a society that doesn't value them. Crazy life! He'd arrived home an hour ago. It had been so quiet, and his mother wasn't home. In fact, there was no-one home, which was so good. He didn't want anyone to have an inkling that he skipped school. His mother would have thrown a fit.The woman was so paranoid, and quite boring when she wanted to be. A sigh escaped his lips, as he jumped down from the bed, sliding his big feet into his Leather-Paws slippers. He glanced at the portable cloche he'd received for his 17th birthday, and smiled. It was right in time for his launch. If he didn't eat, life would lose its colour.'You're so funny, Olive,' He thought fondly.He grabbed his iPhone 11 pro, and dragged himself out
It almost felt like the walls had cave in on them, leaving them exposed to the harsh realities. Oliver wished he could take back the words he said, but that wasn't going to happen. The vision hadn't been a lie, and he needed to let his family understand that one truth.He watched as his mother let go of his father's hand. There was shock written all over her face. He couldn't comprehend what she much be going through, and despite the pains he was trying in futility to mask, he wished he could make her feel much better."Tell me, who did you say is in danger?" His mom asked in a voice that sounded distant.He made eye-contact with his dad, who looked like he was in triple pains. It felt completely awful to do this to people he cared about, but there wasn't much else he could do, but say the truth. His sister was in a complete danger, and they needed to get to her as soon as possible."Scarlett is in danger," He said once more.A gasp escaped his mother's partly opened lips. "No! You're
The ground seemed to be a hollow feeling. Yes, a feeling! It was nothing but a feeling as Scarlett spiralled through the unknown. She felt like she was moving in space, but the reality was, she was sinking into a cage. She flared her hands once more like a beacon, but nothing happened. She didn't grasp anything, and no form of magic greeted her.Her breath knocked off her body as she hit the floor with a thud. She could rarely see anything, just shadows in front of her. She tried to focus her hindsight, but a migraine throbbed at the back of her head, making her give up, shutting her head tight"Oliver," She whispered breathlessly, as she embraced the dark.The sun slowly retreated to the sky, casting shadows over her body. Scarlett laid unconscious in the cold dilapidated cave, which was murky at best. It almost felt like she might never come out of there. There were small grasshoppers, which were a sight for sore eyes, moving around her without a care in the world. In a normal occas
Scarlett opened her eyes to a strange ceiling that she had never seen before. Her mind was slowly getting back together, as she tried to put the pieces of her memories together.‘What had happened?’ she thought. Then, all at once, she jolted up, as she remembered what happened with Elder Quinn, and the witch. She recalled the strange unkempt man who she had fought before she unwittingly lost consciousness.“Where am I?” she wondered in a whisper, whilst looking around frantically. But as soon as she put her feet on the floor and stood up, she heard a voice speak up behind her.“Finally, you have woken up,” the rough and deep voice said. “I was afraid I would have to wait for too long.”At that, Scarlett whipped her head around in shock, and her eyes widened at the sight of the man from before.He looked almost the same as before, except that this time, he did not have his hunting gear with him, and he had removed his jacket which she had spotted him wearing before, only wearing a t-sh
Scarlett was unhinged. The events of the past days had definitely done a number on her. Her eyes were filled with venom as shelooked at him. I will kill you, she thought, more panicked nowthan she had ever been. The memories of what had happened only recently with the witch and Elder Quinn were still fresh in her mind, and as her powers swelled once more in a fresh wave within her, she felt cornered and alone. Her thoughts suddenly went to her brother.Oliver, where are you? She screamed internally, not knowing that her lips mouthed the same question. If Oliver was near, he would have found her.Though they did not spend every waking moment together as some twins do, he was always there for her and would come running if she called.But he was not there. Now, Scarlett was alone and had no one to help her. It was a face that was equal parts painful and full of despair. She was alone, and no one would come to help her. Elder Quinn was not there. Her parents were not there. Oliver wa
