Killed
“What now?” a man said, as an acknowledgment of the presence of a pack member, “What now? I’m kind of stressed right now, I don’t want to add anything to my glass now,”
“They already met,” the pack member said.
The man immediately looked at him, trying to see if he was being pranked or what, but he showed no sign of playing, he grinned, “Then, we have to start working now, the end is coming,”
“No,” the man looked at him, “What do you mean?”
“The prophecy said that one remarkably opponent will appear and hinder the destiny, that someone will try to break what is bound to happen,”
The pack member’s forehead creased, “What? When will that happen?”
He looked at the member, “No one knows.”
The pack member shrugged, “All right, then, let’s just wait, anyway, I have to go, Malina informed me that a certain village was in danger,”
He immediately exited the room and drove his car, he could just transform into his wolf, but he thought it would be a waste to mess up his newly bought polo dress.
“How crazy,” he mumbled as he drove his car, the moment his car stepped into the village’s territory, he started to feel odd, “Something must have happened here, hmm, interesting,” his lips curled up, excitement filled his chest, “I can warm up from here, it’s been a while since I’ve got into a fight,”
He parked his car, one mile away from the entrance, the pavement was the mixed smell of blood and sweat, by a glimpse of it, he knew something was up to the old and almost forgotten village. From his spot, he can see the villagers doing their daily tasks.
His forehead creased, “This is a werewolf village, how did the chosen one manage to stay here without being devoured?” he could hear from his position the growling wolves of the villagers, and they were craving not for animal meat, they were craving for human blood and meat, “What’s happening? Have they adapted the lives of vampires?”
He was confused, but chose to set aside it; he changed his appearance into a petite teenage girl, and he wound himself to make it more realistic, it did not take a minute before the villagers roamed their eyes to their surroundings, looking for the scent they just smell.
“Pardon, my lady?” he looked at the wolf, he hid his smug smile, fresh blood, she came from hunting, it’s human blood, he mumbled, “Were you lost?”
“Y-yes, I’m looking for my mom, I didn’t know where she went,” this is what he loves about his line, he cannot just shapeshift into his werewolf, but to other figures also, this makes his missions always handy, “Can you help me?” he made sure that his eyes were puffed like she was a desperate teenager.
The lady smiled at him, “Of course, come, I will introduce you to our village leader, she will help you go home,”
Why does she feel like soulless? Like she was just a walking corpse? I can’t hear her heartbeat, nor her blood flow, even her breath, I’m looking at her, confused, was she one of them? But what is she doing here? He thought.
They stopped in front of the cottage house; there were plenty of flowery plants, most of them were herbal; he can still smell the sweet scent of the chosen, she must have been coming from here, of course, she wouldn’t have been wearing that fucking bracelet, if she wasn’t from here.
“This is our village leader’s home, I will leave you here,” the lady said, he nodded, not looking at her again, but he heard her footprints, walking away from him, but before she fully set a gap between them, he felt her eyes on him, so he looked at her, she was smiling, “Take care,” she said, and turn her back at the man, without saying another word.
I shrug it and enter the cottage, Inside, I see a very simple style. There isn’t anything fancy; there’s just a bed in the middle, and some crafts on the table, near the comfort room, “Excuse me,” I said, to the woman sitting in front of me.
“Coke inside,” she was smiling at me, I was taken aback for a while, but after seeing her fully, what the fuck is this, “May I help you, young lady?” she softly said to me.
“I’m lost,” I answered, I was really confused right now, “Can you help me?” he asked a tricky question.
“Of course, I’m the mother of all lost children,” my eyes grew widened upon realization, “Where did you come from, w-” she stopped, she must have realized it now, while she was looking at me, fear and anger strike her eyes, “What are you doing here, wolf? How did you manage to go through my barrier?”
I chuckled, “You’re good, it usually took minutes before my target realized that the knife was in front of their chest,”
She angrily stood up, and set a good distance between us, “Who the fuck are you?”
I came back to my original form, while cracking my bones, “Ah, that was fast, you sure are great, what are you anyway? Wolf? Nah, you’re not, you should be dead by now, the moment I stepped in,”
“I’m a witch, a powerful witch,” she declared, as if she was a president, inaugurating herself to the crowd, unfortunately, I’m the only audience she can get before she die. Poor.
“I can’t feel it,” I teased her, I know where I’m good at, and that’s provoking, many wonders will happen to someone who is provoked, “I can’t feel you, as a powerful witch,” I fished my phone in my tiny pocket, and read my notes, “You must be Fenry? Am I right?” her expression became in raged upon hearing her old name, she must have been that woman, “An exile witch, because you dared to try the forbidden magic,”
“Stop it, before I kill you!” she yelled, like I really pushed the button, “Stop it!”
“However, it backfired on you, that makes you look like an old hag woman, and obviously, you lost half of your power, am I right?”
“Where the fuck did you get those lies?! I did not do it! You’re no different to those who accused me of the wrongdoings,”
“I’m just interested in one thing,” I said and sat on a nearby chair, “I mean, are you really able to use it, or what?”
She became more furious, “You will regret stepping on my t-” I didn’t let her finish and just tapped her chest, she just went frozen there, her eyes were so confused about what might happen to her, she couldn’t talk, yeah, I know.
“Yup, you can’t,” I answered her, that question was visible in her eyes, “Okay, for now, I have a few questions, you have to answer, truthfully, “For my first three questions, you can blink twice if it’s a yes, then blink once if it’s a no, okay?” she was not responding, that made me a bit annoyed, “If not, then,” I stood up and went to her set of jars, “I know what’s inside this, hmm, what might happen if, this break? Hmm? I bet you’ll die,” I saw fear in her eyes, and I smiled satisfactorily, “Okay, we should start, right?”
Of course, she can’t answer, I chuckled and unsealed her mouth, and she breathed heavily, “Why do you have to do this? I don’t even know you!”
“Well, you mess with one of us,” I was referring to the chosen one, “Okay, enough with the chit chat, I have to ask you this, I pull out the bracelet Esmila handed me, “You gave this to her?”
She looked at the bracelet, “H-how, how did you get that?”
“Answer me,”
“I give it to her to serve as protection,” she said, I chuckled.
“I told you to tell the truth, didn’t I?” I tilt my head, followed by the crushing sound of her jar.
“Nooo!” she dramatically said, her nose suddenly gushing with blood.
“Okay, let’s continue,” I said, unbothered by her stinking blood, “You give this to her, am I right?” she had no other choice but to nod, “Do you think we’re stupid not to know that this brings bad luck?” she wasn’t speaking, I can hear her teeth gnashing, “What’s your reason for doing so?”
“I want her body,” she said, I’m just looking at her, “I marked her as mine, I will take over her body; that vessel is the rarest vessel I could ever see,” she was describing as if she was dreaming, “She’s shining, she’s with outmost power without her even knowing, and I will have that body, I will acquire it, and I will rule over all of you!”
“Well, how can you do that, if you’re stuck there?” I said, “With these jars, to make you breathe? Will you still be able to make it?”
She laughed, a sinister laugh, “Do you think, that bracelet is the sole mark that I gave her? I may have lost half of my power, but I know how to mark someone I want,”
“Well,” I stood up, time’s up, I need to go back, “Last question,” she was following me, while I was looking at the photos hung on the wall, “What did you do to the original village head?”
She smirked, “You must be the top of your class,” I gave her a ‘duh’ look, “I caged her into the realm of madness, and only I can make her out there alive,”
“How did you manage to cage her there? It’s a different realm,” I asked, purely out of curiosity, you must have a great amount of power to execute that spell, is she gaining back her power?
“Only I, know how to do that,” she said proudly, I just shrugged; I knew what she was implying right now, it won’t bother me if she think it will.
“So, she’s still alive, right?” I just want a confirmation before I make my next move, I can’t just do it without anyone to blame if something bad happens, right?
“She will die soon, if she won’t be out there, as soon as possible,” is this bitch threatening me, in exchange for someone else life? She smirked as if she won the battle.
“I see,” I walked towards her direction, and stopped, behind her, “Well, I guess, she won’t make it alive, until I can get her out of there,”NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
“What do you mean?” her voice started to shake, she must have realized what was bound to happen to her today.
“I hope you enjoy the last sunrise and sunset that you saw, and the last human blood that you took, even the last soul you devour, I hope you enjoy that,” I pull out my katana, “Because that will be your last,”
“Why the f-”
“Well then,” my katana immediately cut her head from her body, “Dream on, bitch,”
