Rebirth: The Dark Sorceress

“Go away now!” My mother’s voice, although weak, came out harshly as she pushed me away from her. Tears ran down my eyes and I shook my head stubbornly. “I’m not leaving you behind mother, not now, nor ever!” I swore.I could hear their heartbeat loud in my ears and I knew my mother could too, they were fast approaching and we were no match for them. My mother writhed from pain on the floor, she had collapsed, her injuries too unbearable and I knew she was giving up the fight. The large forest wasn’t enough to cloak us.We had escaped home with mother’s teleportation power, but not before one of those bastards had swiftly struck her, his blade slicing through her back. My hands shook as I ran them down the gash on her back, her cloth was fast soaking with blood, trailing us as we made our way deeper through the forest, stumbling past fallen trees and twigs.“It’s no use,” Mother said but I ignored her and closed my eyes trying to focus all my powers. I felt the energy make its way fro

A hooded figure made his way through the thickness of the forest, its large trees providing cover enough to shield him from view.He made his way farther until he got to a place where three large stones met, he dug his hand into his large coat’s pocket and brought out a small circular, solid object. He placed it on top of one of the stones, the largest one, and immediately a building came into sight, digging through the Earth as it sprang up in full view.The man’s eyes remained passive as he stared at the little building right before stepping in through the door, the doorway immediately lengthened to accommodate him.Inside, a woman was seated in the dimly lit room, he frowned his face ever so slightly at the stench that hit his nostril, he still couldn’t get over the smell of this room.“Good to see you.” The woman said staring at him, she was seated cross-legged on the floor, a small table in front of her that held a bowl with simmering purple liquid.He stared at the bowl before s

In less than a week, I had gone unconscious twice already but this time, I wished my eyes didn’t open, I would be better off dead.It was unfortunate that we never get what we wished for because my eyes opened slowly to meet a pair of icy blue ones staring back at me… I wanted to claw them out.Instead, I stared back at Alpha Damon, my eyes taking him in, all of him. He hadn't changed much from the last time I’d seen him which was when he had put a torch to my Mother’s body, I could see through him, all of the cruelty that could exist within a man but it was unfortunate, that he had met someone who had a thousand fold more of it than him… I was going to be the death of him, it was just time now.With my eyes still fixed on him, I made a silent promise to my mother’s ashes.“Who are you?” He asked taking a step back, folding his hands across his chest.I stared at him and said nothing. I could feel the pull between us, stronger than anything I’d ever felt and I could feel my wolf’s res

The metallic smell of blood filled my nose, pleasing me as I pushed the blade further. This wasn't the plan, this hadn't been the plan but I hadn't been able to stop myself, not after what I’d come across.When Damon spoke, I heard the smile on his lips. “And I had hoped you'll make good on your promise.”Hours before..."Alena, are you okay?” Marina asked the door slamming loudly behind her as she hurried into my house, worry in her eyes.She had been away for days now so my mother had said, my eyes went up to her... This was my best friend? Marina had untamed red hair that seemed to be all over the place, she was pretty in a wild way.She grabbed me by the hand. “I was so worried about you, I'm sorry I hadn't come earlier.” She said, I roughly pulled my hand away from her and when I saw the hurt expression cross her features, I realized what I had done - this was going to be harder than I thought. It would be difficult to manage Eliana and Alena, we were two different people and onl

My body began to shake furiously, the sword dropped from my hand as I landed on my knees hitting the floor. My vision blurred and I felt the air in my lungs restrict.“Hell no!”I managed out when I heard the sound of my bones snapping as my body reshaped to take another form. My body stretched, its muscles lengthening and my skin immediately became covered with golden-colored furs, sharp claws erupted from my fingers and dug themselves into the ground.I let out a scream of anger that instead came out as a growl… I was fully transformed into my wolf form.I struggled back for control but my wolf was equally as stubborn, holding on firmly to her reign of control.Damon stood watching me with intense eyes, and I snapped my teeth at him as I took a threatening step toward him. Just a few more seconds, a little more and he'd have been dead.The inner turmoil within myself continued.“I won't let you make this mistake Alena, get a hold of yourself now!” She said to me, her anger resonating
