Episode Two

Chapter Two

SERENA'S POV

The loud bang I heard, made me sit up with an impulse

I looked around and found no threat. I had been unconscious for who knows how long. 

My head hurted badly but I didn't realize it until I became calm and was sure there was no threat around me

There were lots of bruises all over my body, and they all hurt, coupled with the memory of what happened yesterday or the day before, I had no idea, it hurt me more

I tried to get up but  couldn't, and had no clue on what to do

I even tried calling for help, but my throat was soar, even if it wasn't, it was ridiculous trying to call for help  in the woods

"Argh!" I winced in pain and frustration, then I remembered  I had some ointments in my luggage

"Thank the moon goddess, my luggage was hung on my shoulders, who knows where it would have been by now" I said with a chuckle

I applied the ointment, but my scratches didn't heal, and that got me worried sick

I could remember when I tried to mind Link my mom, but it didn't work, I also tried tapping into Jake's emotions, that still didn't work, I also remembered trying to wolf out , when I was falling off the cliff, but I couldn't, and now this?

"Could it be that....no, no that can't be possible, it's just my feelings getting the better of me" I said trying to shove off my thoughts

 Then I laid back to rest, but it seemed the moon goddess had other plans

"Grrr!" The sound of a wolf echoed in my ears

Turning towards it's direction, I  was wowed, it was huge, had sea blue eyes, and it's furs where as dark as the night

I could tell he was a male, an Alpha blood, just by it's structures, and my goodness!  it was a sight to behold

I was dazed watching it, until it took one gallant step forward, while I crawled backwards

I guess fear made me forget about my body pains

He moved forward again and I equally moved backwards

"Grrr!" It roared again

"I...I... I'm begging you, please don't hurt me" I pleaded and moved backwards again

With the next step he took, he was already right in front of me and I just fell flatly to the ground

He sniffed me head to toe, but I just stayed still, ready for the worst, but I was taken aback by his next action

He licked my bruises and  they suddenly began to heal, soon, I was okay

 

I couldn't say thanks, cause in the speed of light, he was gone

THIRD PERSON'S POV

"Damn it! Why didn't he just kill her? Why was he helping her?" Clarissa asked no one in particular with a gritted teeth

"Hey! Take it easy, she is in the woods, him not terminating her life doesn't mean she would survive, stop taking it too hard on yourself" the witch said, trying to calm her down

Immediately Clarissa pushed Serena off the cliff the other day, she went straight to the witch's

They tracked Serena's movement with the help of the crystal ball

The crystal ball was something only powerful witches possessed, and it was used to see into the past, the future and also the present 

"Who is that wolf, and what's his identity?" Clarissa asked the witch

"How do you expect I Know that? It's not like I've seen him before" She replied

"Isn't that why you're a witch? Find out, do I have to tell you everything? Goodness!" Clarissa said almost in a yell

The witch spoke some gibberish words and some incantations, her eyes illuminated and her silk blackish grey hair began floating in the air, without the presence of wind

After some time, the lights disappeared

"So...." Clarissa inquired, with a raised eyebrow

"Well, I couldn't see his identity, it's hidden, which means he is a very powerful wolf, all I can say, is that he has Alpha blood running through his veins" the witch revealed, making Clarissa sigh

"Hhh! That bitch really has to die, that's all I care about" Clarissa said and walked away, all her mind was occupied with, was how to end the life of her sister without it being traced to her

"Can't even say goodbye" the witch complained

SERENA'S POV

I was walking in the woods all alone, had tried so many times to wolf out, but I couldn't

I had no where to go, and now labeled as a rouge, So I decided to have some rest by a shallow river

Just as I sat down, my stomach grumbled, I looked around and found nothing I could really eat, the whole place was surrounded by trees, they had fruits though, but I couldn't eat those

Suddenly the idea of fishing popped into my head

I was by a pond anyways, I tried thousands of times, but couldn't make a catch, so I gave up trying

Then I took a bath and changed into something I could run comfortably with, cause you never can tell what would make you run In the woods

Suddenly, I began to feel water droplets on my body, it was about to rain and I had nowhere to go

The downpour became harsh, and as if that wasn't enough

I heard the growl of an animal, very close to me, I didn't know what it was, I wasn't ready to know

Just by it growls alone, I knew it was something big

I took to my heels and as though it was waiting for that, it started chasing after me

"Holy shit! What in the world is this?" I questioned, as I tilted my head backwards

It had the structure of a human, had the face of a wolf, and then it had horns, and long sharp claws

I ran as fast as my legs could carry me, but I didn't see the possibility of myself escaping death

I only ran based on my survival instinct

Just when I tilted my head to Look towards it, I tripped and fell to the ground

It growled and used one of it's fingers to poke my arm, blood gushed out, but it healed almost immediately

The next minute, it's index giant nail was on it's way to my chest, just right at the position of my heart

I closed my eyes and submitted myself to death

Blood gushing was the next sound I heard, and I thought I was dead already

'surprising how it didn't hurt' I thought

"Hey! You can get up now"  a masculine voice said and I opened my eyes

It didn't look like the land of the spirits though

"Get up before someone else sees you here" he said

I turned right and saw the monster lying lifeless on the ground

Turns out it wasn't my blood gushing, and I sighed in relief

"Hey! What are you thinking about, I'm trying to save your life and you aren't helping matters" he complained

"Where is this place?" I asked

"This is the Dark Heart Pack, and you're a rogue, which means you're not allowed here" he responded, like I didn't already know that I was a rogue

"Then why bring me to your tent? Why save me from the monster, oh! You want to take me to your Alpha, so that he would cut off my head and add it to his achievement right?" I asked in fear, but made sure to sound carefree, just like a normal rogue would

"Will you just stop talking, what if someone hears you, I don't mean to hurt you, seeing you, I already know you're a good wolf, because those monsters are related to the rogues" he said but I just stared at him

"Seeing it chasing after you, then I knew you must be different from them, that's why I saved you" he continued

As though he knew how hungry I was, he offered me a piece of dried meat, I didn't think twice before collecting and devouring it

"Thanks" I said and he nodded

"Be Careful, if anyone finds out you're here, then both our heads would be rolling on the floor at the Alphas chamber" he warned and I nodded

I couldn't trust him, no matter what he said, I didn't plan to spend the night there anyways, what's the worse that could happen?
