33 | Eternal Imprisonment
The six of us werewolves snarled in anger as we walked slowly towards Hergest. A five Alphas, and one Gamma. Two from Hera Pack, one from Holial Pack and three from Crescent Pack. Sa bawat paghakbang namin papalapit kay Hergest, panay atras naman siya nang atras.
"I will not let any of you ruin everything I sacrificed!" dumadagundong na naman ang boses niya. "I am the most powerful witch in history, you all should kneel before me!" Sigaw na naman niya.
That didn't even flinched me. Sa halip ay mas lalong tumaas ang kagustuhan kong itigil ang mga kahibangan niya. I'll put her to a place where she is supposed to be. I cannot let an evil walk upon the earth, wreaking havoc to each and everyone.
I am an Alpha. I will do everything to stop someone who means harm to the people I love. The wind blows in disagreement with everything Hergest said.
Hindi kami sumagot sa mga sinasabi niya. And why would we respond to someone who didn't learn a lesson for centuries? Yes, we all are aware that evil is everywhere so as good. But I know they only bring balance to the world.
Lupus, Rory and one of the Alpha from Hera Pack went to Hergest's left side. Lola, and the other two Alphas from two different packs: Holial and Hera, went to her right. The Valenzuela witches went to her back. Me, on the other hand, stayed at Hergest's front. We want to corner her from different angles.
"Incendia!" She shouted.
I gasped when a fire suddenly lit at the ground where we are standing. All of us were inside the fire circle. Pero kung gaano man ito kabilis lumiyab, ganoon din kabilis nawala nang mag-spell-cast si Lola Elisa upang magmanipula ng tubig.
I snarled and sprinted towards her direction. Nakita kong ganoon din sila. "Wind of the north, lend me your power come and forth!" Before we could reach her, we were thrown a few inches away from her when an invisible force shoved us.
I grunt in slight pain when my butt fell first upon the ground. Galit akong bumangon. I snarl once again to let her know I am already pissed. Nagsibagsakan naman ang mga laway ko sa lupa pero wala akong pakialam.
Nagkatinginan kami ng ibang werewolves na kasama ko. When I am done relaying my message through gaze, we once again attack her together from both side. Pero nahinto ako sa pagtakbo nang bigla na lamang akong lumutang.
I looked at Hergest in confusion. But to my surprise, she's confused as I was. My eyes grew wider when I realized I wasn't the only one who levitated. Ako, at si Hecate ay bigla-bigla na lamang lumutang ilang pulgada ang layo namin sa lupa.
I was about to asked Hecate when her eyes turned white. Sabay pa kaming dalawa na napatingala nang biglang may mga flashes of images na nagstakbuhan sa utak ko. Chills race down to my spine when I understand what was happening.
Hecate saw a vision. Pero bakit kasali ako?
Sobrang bilis ng mga pagsulputan ng mga images sa utak ko. Pero nagawa ko namang nasundan lahat nang 'yon. Seconds later, dahan-dahan kaming bumagsak sa lupa. Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw Lola Elisa sighed. It's as if she saw the same thing as we did.
It wasn't a vision. A message from our ancestors in NetherRealm.
When Hergest saw me smiling at her in victory, her eyes grew wider. Her lips started to shiver in fear. Umatras na naman siya nang umatras.
"Lanue mag―"
Hindi natapos ang incantation ni Hergest nang maunahan siya ni Tita Grace. "Bind her hands, bind her tongue, permit her mind to spell-cast none!"
Hergest eyes once again grew wider. Tumalikod siya sa amin at tumakbo papalayo. But I know she can't escape. Napahinto siya sa pagtakbo nang salubungin siya ng mga Alphas. She once again tried to cast a spell. Pero lahat ng 'yon ay hindi gumana.
"Abi in malem cursem!" Tito Ace cast an incantation that made Hergest stop moving.
When the Valenzuela witches confirmed that Hergest is prevented from moving, they hold each other's hand in circle. Pagkatapos ay pumikit sila't lumanghap ng hangin.
Together they cast an incantation. "Hecate, Gatekeeper, Guardian, Guide, stand among us, side by side. Hecate, light your torch's flame every time we call your name." When they cast the first two, a familiar cold but calming breeze brushed against my skin. "Hallowed Mother, Maiden, Crone, through the dark let it be thrown. Hecate, circle the witch with your perilous light, let her know who is the mighty!"
Nang matapos na sila ay siyang biglang lumiyab ang apoy na kulay asul sa kinatatayuan ni Hergest. Now that she can't cast a spell, prevent her from moving, and temporarily imprison her in the circle of hellfire, she don't have now the chance to escape.
"Magbabayad kayo!" she shouted in desperation.
Nawala na naman sa atensyon ko kay Hergest nang makita ko na namang naghawakan ang Valenzuela witches sa kamay. They are still in circle. Nakapikit na ulit ang kanilang mga mata.
"Stones of old, hear our incantation, deliver thus our invitation." This time, napaigting ang aking panga dahil sa ginaw na hatid ng simoy ng hangin.
This isn't the cold but calming breeze, it was different yet felt safe. "We call forth the witches who came before us. Tribe of witches, seven families, lend us your power to mend the broken trust. All are called upon. All are summoned. Hear us and answer our call." My heart was quick to pound.
No wonder why the Valenzuela witches are feared by some. No wonder why the leader of their former coven entrusts them with things that others can't. They are powerful. No wonder why some are jealous of their capabilities.
"Lungere nobis Covina."
They repeated it countless times until some witches I met from NetherRealm came into my sight. Their spirits are summoned. Nakita ko rin sina Tarie at Debiel Herrera, Hergest's parents. A woman who brought me to the Moon Tribe smiled and waved at me.
I slightly bowed my head to pay them a respect. I sprinted back to the Alpha's Lair and transformed back into my human form. Nagsuot ako ng damit at ilang segundo ang lumipas ay bumalik ako sa kinatatayuan ko kanina.
Hawak-hawak ko ngayon ang blade na gagamitin ko sa pagsaksak sa dibdib ni Hergest. Tumingin ako sa kaniya. Ang kaninang mayabang at puno ng kumpiyansa sa mukha niya ay naglaho nang parang bula. Right now, fear was all over her face. Tears were attempting to escape from her eyes.
"No, please!" pagmamakaawa niya.
I scoffed in disgust. Now that she knows she's in trouble, nagpapaawa effect ang gaga. The audacity! Bumagsak na nang tuluyan ang luha niya sa mata nang biglang maglaho ang circle of hellfire.
The summoned witches started to mutter an incantation to strengthen the restraining spell that Tito Ace cast on Hergest. Patuloy lang siya sa pagmamakaawa. Pero lahat ng 'yon ay binabaliwala lang namin.
The Valenzuela witches nodded at me. I nodded them back. Inilabas ko ang blade. When Hergest laid her eyes on the blade, the fear written on her face doubled. She looked at my eyes, and consecutively shook her head, telling me to stay away from her.
"Earth, fire, air, and water. We are your son and daughter." The Valenzuela witches once again started muttering an incantation together with the Moon Tribe.
The others are still casting a restraining spell. "Punish the evil force for her sins, let her be torn by all four winds. Banish her to walk upon the earth, none can summon even her breath." Hergest suddenly yelled in pain when the half of their spell became effective.
"Once a soul linger in the air, fire shall be her greatest fear. Water and stones, cut her flesh and bones." My face quickly grimaced when Meira's different parts of her body slit open. "With the goddess' blade, imprisonment in the Void is the trade."
Their incantation stopped and looked at me. Hinawakan ko nang mahigpit ang handle ng weapon na may kakayahang tapusin ang kahibangan ni Hergest. After I pierce this blade through her heart, an eternal imprisonment in The Void is her punishment for the sins she have done for centuries.
Nang maglakad ako papalapit sa kaniya, muli na namang sumalubong sa akin ang nagmamakaawang mata niya. But because of what she's doing, my resentment for her grew colossally. My burning desire on ending her life exploded.
I place myself behind Hergest. Dahan-dahan kong itinuon ang dulo nito sa dibdib niya. Bigla namang nagsulputan ang alaala ko sa mga oras na walang awa niyang pinatay ang ilang mga miyembro ng pack ko.
I used both of my hands to pierced the blade through her heart. In the process, her scream echoed in my ears. Nang maisaksak ko na ito nang buo sa puso niya, mabilis kong inilapit ang aking bibig sa tenga niya't bumulong.
"Rot in hell, bitch."
