The figure walked past a set of stone gargoyles before turning down a cobbled pathway, her feet light on the ground, the hooded black cloak she wore trailing behind her as the wind caressed it. She was quick, and agile making sure she stuck to the side of her surroundings. She was here on a mission and she was going to make sure she accomplished it without being caught.For so long her kind had been watching from the shadows as the creatures who claimed they had the upper hand when it came to the supernatural affairs bragged off. But no more would they hide in the shadows, no more would they stand watch, while there kind was insulted, ridiculed, killed mercilessly.This time around they were going to take a bold step forward. It was time for a change; it was time to fight back.The woman moved quickly, stepping away from the shadowy protection that the wall offered and directly into the path ahead of her as she ran toward the large building that loomed up ahead. Looking up towards the

Ryker I woke up with a groan and looked around the room where my parents shared with me and my brother Cade. I was still sleepy as my eyes were still getting accustomed to my surroundings. I was a very light sleeper and any sound was capable of waking me up and at that moment I knew something was wrong. My father was standing close to the door and his eyes were glowing amber. My mother was bent over Cade shaking him awake as he tossed and turned on the little bed he was sleeping on refusing to wake. Something was wrong and I could feel a strange feeling of dread wash over me as I sat up straighter on my own bed, the vestiges of sleep leaving my eyes. "Mom what's wrong" I asked but as always she ignored me, her gaze fixed on Cade who was now rubbing his eyes as he forced himself to stay awake. "Loci," my father hissed from the doorway where he was peering out from the little crack he had made by opening the door slightly. I was up on my feet in a second grabbing my clothes, putti

Ava The next morning I was already awake before the sun was out in its full glory. Seated at the end of my bed cloak in my hand I stared into nothing images of that means face flashing across my eyes.You're still alive.The words echoed in my head filling me with both dread and excitement. Whoever that woman was she knew what had happened to me or might have had a direct involvement with it.She wasn't a vampire neither was she a werewolf. There was only one supernatural force that was left which had a penchant for chasing chaos.Witches.They were rare, but it didn't mean that they didn't pop out every now and then to do some damage before they retreated to their hiding places. It bugged me because I didn't think I had ever come in contact with a witch as our species detested each other."Witches preferred to stay on their own and found strength in numbers of their coven. Vampire and werewolves despised them because of how cunning and tricky they could be, always seeking to gain so

Ryker "How did this happen?" "Can't exactly remember,one minute we were just on the giant sjd the next minute we'd been ambushed." I was in Cades room watching the pack healers tend to his body which looked like it had been badly burnt. Black streaks ran across different directions in his body and his face was partly burnt showing the red skin underneath it. The room stank of burning flesh which was starting to irritate me the more I stayed there. "How do I know you are telling the truth? I asked narrowing my eyes at him. "Evidence?" He said distractedly pointing at his body. "I don't buy that, this is not the first time you are doing something fishy and having a run in with witches." "Yeah but I've never been burnt, so we can all agree that this is a bit different." "You still didn't tell me what you and your buddies were doing with K9 back at borders about a week ago" I snapped gritting my teeth in an effort to control my anger. Cade had this obnoxious attitude of always ge

Ryker You shouldn't talk unless you are talked to, don't invite any of your friends to this party, refrain from cooking up any mischief or hidden tricks you might have ticked away under your sleeve… "I watched the woman seated across the table from me as Tao read out the dos and don't she was going to abide by if she wanted to be present in the hall when the event started. Eve stared back at me with as much hate as my stare held. Whenever I thought back to it I asked myself what had made me attracted to such a woman. What was it about her character then that I found appealing? Right now all I wanted to get her out of my sight, away from the pack, away from Ava. I saw the way the both of them looked at each other, the way they watched each other movements like predator and prey. I still didn't know how Eve was present in the death of Ava. I was yet to ask, not because I couldn't ask but because I wanted to keep my distance from this woman, seeing her alone was causing currents of r
