The Forsaken

While a storm was at it's peak, and the rivers were going wild, the trees snapping and clouds were covering all the stars, deep into the forest, lost in the dark was a cabin. While from the outside it would appear to be abandoned in this night of full darkness, destiny was unraveling itself. Throw the hall, in a small room, with nothing but candlelight a baby was being born.Only thing to be heard were muffled screams and the sound of shoes stamping on the wooden floor, the woman managed to remove the rag from her mouth and cried out, "I can't do it anymore! Help me!" She pleaded with the midwife. The midwife glanced at the woman standing nearby, who simply shook her head and sat down on the bed. With a stern expression, she turned to the woman in agony and said, "You got yourself into this mess, now you have to get yourself out of it." But then, the midwife's demeanor softened slightly as she got up from the bed and reassured the woman, "Just one more push, a big one, and it will be o

"My soulmate."I'm sorry what?"W..Wh...What?" Is all I managed to say. To say I was shocked was an understatement.But he just keeped looking at me like I was miracle happening before his eyes,his hands holding my face so tenderly."You are my soulmate." Atlas said again."Hello, earth to Kaya!" Yelled Saf in my mind knocking me back to my senses.This is not happening, he's lying.I don't feel anything. If he were truly my soulmate I would feel the bond."Yeah nice try buddy."I said as I moved his hands from my face and took a step back. His hands fell to his sides , confusion all over his face."You don't feel this?" He asked me."Look, your little trick could work on a human but obviously not on a she wolf.""This is not a trick." He says as he tries to touch my hand again but I take another step back. To that I hear him growl."Hey girl this round is on you." Said the girl as she passed me a cocktail."All rounds are on me." Atlas said as he waved to the bartender.The girls seemed

As Safire got to the lake she laid down next to a big tree and let Kaya take control over her body and mind."You really needed that run didn't you Saf?" I say as I stretch my bones."We both needed it." Saf said as I pulled the clothes from the backpack and started dressing."So what is our plan, we can't hide forever they are going to trace us eventually?""I need answers, but I also need time to take this in." I say as I sit down under the tree."I can sense you are angry, but it doesn't make you love them any less." "Of course I'm angry, they lied to me my whole life. And yes I know what you are going to say, they love me like their own but that is not in discussion here. Trust is." I say with frustration."And the fact that Jake loves you." Saf so kindly reminded me."Don't ok, just don't go there.""I told you he gave me a weird vibe."Saf hummed in my head."He is my brother, I will never be able to see him as anything else. Honestly, I dont know how to even look at him anymor

"Jeffrey, lead the way." The room they gave me was similar to the one I saw Atlas had. Big, spaces, but the decor was more oriented towards a woman. I put in the closet the little clothes I had in my backpack and after that, I had nothing but time on my hands."Let's go explore the mansion, we have nothing better to do." I tell Saf as I see her waiting by the door."Don't tell me you are waiting for him." I say as I walk over to her."No, I'm trying to figure out who are those two outside the door." Saf said as she allowed me to open the door.Sure enough, as I opened the door I was greeted by two men who seemed to be guarding my room."Can I help you?" I ask."Miss Kaya, our Luna instructed us to be at your service" What they meant was she instructed them to follow me around in case I try to leave."Fine, then one of you go and fetch me something to eat. I'm starving." I say as I close the door in annoyance."Saf, we need to find a way to get out of here.""Good luck with that, this

"Dont you think you are forgetting something?" Saf asks as I frantically pack up my backpack. My friend is missing and I have to go find her because if I don't who will? Her mother is in another country and even if she makes a missing persons report how fast will the police jump onto a case of a missing Mexican girl who despite paying taxes is still not a rightful American citizen?"What could I be missing, there is not much to take," I tell Saf as I point to the now empty shelves. "You need to talk to Atlas. You promised you would tell him if you had intentions of leaving." I know she is right, but there is a big chance he will not let me go and I can't risk getting stopped. Thalia needs me."Saf, this is Thalia we are talking about. I need to find her. I can't risk him not letting me go." The real question now is how am I going to get out of this place when there is a guard on every possible corner of this house? If nothing else, they do take security seriously."You promised." Saf
