Chapter 21: Warrior B*tch

You must be wondering? Why Heather aren't you learning? Well, this is a journal so school doesn't really count, doesn't it? I seem to only document about all this.

Anyway, I had another nightmare again and it got creepier. I was reliving the same dream but with a twist. I appeared at the backseat of the car with a thud as Damon smiled and cheered."Heather, you came."He screamed happily as I looked around and I nodded. The highway the road, the curve and all come back. Mom was driving like a manic as the car swerved. She locked her eyes at me, blinked and charged. Like a sonic boom we ricochet and twisted and rolled.

She made her choice.

As I rotated and turned, Damon screamed, we're flying as Father cried but mom was unbothered as her eyes glazed and soaked in blood like in slow and excruciating pain. The windows shatter as Damon is flung out of the window as the car spins. Damon is knocked unconscious and lying haphazardly at the side as I'm crunched inside. I wore the exact same thing as air was sucked out of my lungs and no words. No rip, tear, dirt and no blood. I'm invisible then I appeared as flames licked the sky and smoke engulfs us. My brother bleeding and scrapes. My father mouth agape spurting blood and mom smiling with her blood-stained teeth as and laughing hysterically.

"You made your choice."She screeched, her voice raised and shrill and broke. She yelled harder and harder as she crawled from the side of the road as I stumbled backwards and looked at our butchered car and no sign of life. My trench coat flapped at my side, my white shirt intact, khaki pants and clean shoes.

I grabbed the dented exhaust pipe and swung it and screamed in anger like a banshee.

"Leave my mother, you demon, "I yelled and sprinted as she grinned." You're not my momma."I screamed before I whacked.

My eyes fluttered open as I felt suspended on the air then I plopped on the bed and groaned. I sat upright and breathed heavily as I clenched my chest and as looked around the room. I didn't see Sadie at all but I felt as if I was lighter. The window was wide open as the full moon reflected from the black clouds as it reflected on the full-body mirror. It was still oddly still night but too quiet. No sign of movement or gurgling of the drains. I tensed and looked over to the time and shook my head in disbelief and denial. Five am in the morning. No laughter, screaming or footsteps. Quiet.

"Sadie."I called, clenched the side of the bed.

"Sadie."I screamed harder and louder. There was long eerie silence. I stared at Sadie's bed, empty. I made a choked noise and stared at the window. A cold gust of wind swooped in as it cackling and sizzling in my arms then my palms. My eyes hurt as I felt it stung and blinked then my head snapped to the mirror as I tried not to gasp. Then the curtain billowed and flapped wildly. My eyes weren't my eyes they were glowing an eerie shade of periwinkle as I choked.

I bolt upright and breathed heavily swung my legs and padded down the wooden floor and sighed, it was five am-the real one, footsteps, shouting, giggling and screaming from beyond. I smiled as Sadie watched me intently from her bed and shoved her business book in her bed.

"Let me guess? Another nightmare?"She said with a sad smile and I nodded sadly and picked up my discarded clothes.

Luckily, it was Saturday, yay .I need a doctor so badly.

You know I had obviously gotten used to all this shit and I might fail; so I narrated my experience to my friends at breakfast.

"I think you're oracle, a medium or a witch."Nova said bluntly and bit on her dry toast. I groaned .I cannot be special it too boring and dangerous. Noah shrugged and smiled.

"You want to be human, eww."Nova said with disgust.

"Humans are boring and gross."Sadie shot.

"Nope, being special is boring and dangerous; bitch .I'm not dying early."

Dies of laughter.

Rolls.

Sadie and I sat on her bed as we chat about school and sports and painted our toe nails and 'I like it 'and 'no tears left to cry 'blasted from the Bluetooth speaker. I painted mine a deep shade of blue and Sadie painted hers gold. Out of blue, the window blew open, a strong gust of wind then the lamp shattered on the floor as we froze. I rolled to my drawer and brought out pepper spray and shushed Sadie before closed the window quickly as I saw something moving and heavy breathing. Sadie held her chest and started wheezing.

"Germino."I screamed and sprayed as it yelled. "My eyes."It screamed then I tackled it. Then it's-his brown eyes went wide with fear, freckles dotted on his nose and curly blonde hair as I sprayed harder.

"James."I yelled, stopped and recoiled.

"What are you doing here in the girl's dorm?"I screamed harder as he covered his ears in pain. Sadie wheezed harder and held her neck as I scrambled to her and shoved her pink inhaler."Dude, you scared us to death."I added, glared at him. I ran my fingers down her back as she inhaled but then she giggled. Then he breathing returned as she gasped, closed the window and shoved James as he laughed. I shushed him as he choked. He froze and begged.

"Fine, we need you to come. We might have some interesting news."James begged as I crossed my arms.
"Nope, I'm failing and losing my damn mind."

"Please."He begged.

"No."I snapped.

"You need to train."

She smiled and tried to flirt with the munchkin. "Um, Sadie he's a kid."I retorted, and looked at him. I rolled my eyes."Damn, werewolves that hot?"I shuddered. Sadie got her senses back on track. She unravelled something and gave it to me.

"I got you an early birthday gift,."She smiled and removed the fabric. It was midnight blue t-shirt that said 'future marine biologist 'on it and decorated with stingrays, waves and carol as i smiled. "You remembered?"I said astonished as she stomped her feet and smiled gave a tight bear hug as she choked, "can't breathe?"She screamed hoarsely, as I recoiled and blushed."Thank you."|I gushed then grabbed her inhaler and breathed as I side hugged her and she flashed thumbs up.

"Um, hello."James waved as we glared at him.

"The time."

I ate my words. Pure lies that I fed. Yeah, you guessed it I went to the damn wolf pack and still needed answers about my dreams and nightmares.

I stood in the field and only to be greeted by the corpse bride. She wore a black and pink sports bra, leggings and fingerless gloves. She flipped her long ponytail drenched in sweat as she sashayed to me with her hands on her hips."So the pweeny human decided to play?"She mocked and rolled her eyes as I gawked at her. On the pit where a wolf lay with laboured breathing on his side. "While you were living your life I was keeping tabs. You now crawling back to help the pack; you're a disgrace to us. "She spat as I arch a brow." I know it seems I hate you but I care about the wellbeing of the pack. "She added, looked teary eyed and clenched her fist on her sides' looked over my shoulder," And I had a life to live .Maybe is true I'm not wolf material." I replied.

I exhaled as I trek to the pack house as the wind howled. Zale threw me into a hug as I shoved him playfully and sighed heavily as I sat on the couch. "So remember about the threats and things' thinks I might be tied to this." I said as he nodded then I remembered."Your dad ...how's the investigation going." I asked, squeezed my lips into a thin line."I can't track the murderer but I feel like I know how they are?"He huffed, ran his fingers through his hair and sighed. "Your prime suspects?"I asked, wrapped my arms on the pillow and arch a brow. He smiled weakly, "Still Sapphire and Turquoise."He responded, "But we have done a lot but it still ties top even her dad."He added closed my mouth before I asked. He stared at me intently, "But honestly I think its Sapphire, she literally got a mini pack in her grasp and all listen to her blindly like their freaking mind controlled."He ranted angrily and pounded his fist the coffee table.

"Wait, a mini pack?"I asked, tapped my chin, "Are you saying she can mind control or very persuasive .Ok, she might be working in an opposition, right? You did say that a lot of wolves hate your dad because he's an asshole. Um, does he have a lot of allies or a lot of enemies?"I wondered out loud as he nodded, "So it might not be a pack member?"I added.

"Yeah, he does actually."He said. Then his eyes darted from the fluffy carpet as he sprang to his feet."Liboarado Pack."He gasped, "My dad insulted him publically in an event because he's mateless. He zoned out as his eyes flashed and darted his eyes to the window as it shook and rustled loudly and sharp movements from the bushes. He hunched and froze and I tensed then a grey wolf sprints out. Zale leaped out the window and shifted in mid-jump. I heaved in a sigh, knelt down and grabbed my gun and followed them in hot pursuit. We were being spied on and watched. I hunched, held my berthed and tip-toed into the forests as I hid behind a tree and peaked then loaded my pistol. The wolves circled each other and growled lowly but the other patchy thick coated wolf hissed and bared their yellowed teeth.

It was skinner and sunken as it sprinted full speed and Zale sidestepped and then he punctured his teeth on its neck as it whimpered in pain as blood soaked its bald fur. It snapped its jaws at Zale's hind legs and dragged it then bit its ear and shook it. Zale crawled on the wolf and bit its face as it howled in pain. In an instant, Zale went in a seizure and shifted back to a human. All the injuries appeared on him as he was nude. I yelped as he untangled from it and he pinned its paws."Shift "He commanded angrily, as it thrashed and turned like a fish out of water and slowly losing its fur as it forcedly shifts and whimpers as blood bubbled in its mouth. In its place was a scrawny teenage boy with brown hair with bloodshot eyes that were solid onyx, my blood ran cold as I gaped the swirls of darkness as I shuddered as it snapped his head at me as we locked eyes. He smiled with his soulless eyes draining my soul. Zale paused and stumbled backwards.

"Who-who sent you?"Zale screamed loudly, high with fear and anger laced it, breathed heavily and clenched his fist at his sides. The boy only laughed harder as its eyes locked mine."Alpha Brandon sent me. You guys are stupid and show how dense you are even though I was to spy on you guys every day but you were so pinned to put it on someone you hate well that's the benefit of having enemies and spreading hate. Your mate was on the right track."He said, his voice laced pure anger and confidence as he snapped his head harder almost twisting like an owl as bones cracked. I shuddered as Zale stared at me.

"Heather, "he screamed at me .I stared-gaped at Zale who looked unbothered about the dirt caked; the blood smeared his torso but mine appearance at a bitch fight."What are you doing here?"He demanded as fear in his eyes and its voice."The revolution has begun."The wolf screamed sickly at the sky and howled, long and loud then snapped its gaze at me and bared its fangs at me. Then he blinked his pupils turned harsh shade of violet, long talons grew as it wiggled his bony fingers and choked on its voice. They jumped on one another and fought with claws for slashing and clawing, body and teeth. I loaded my gun and aimed at the pale sickly wolf as it dodged my silver bullets in a speed of light and blurred. It screeched loudly like a wooded animal as it punctured holes on his torso but it healed instantly or bounced of it. I reloaded more as all he did was gloat from his neck as it bleeds like a spring. I stopped and ducked as a long shadow casted on me."What the hell is that thing?"I yelled, in disbelief and confusion. It-he laughed harder and pulled its face into a snarl and stalked us.

"An epilision. They are unusual wolves that are breed for war but that looks more possessed than a normal one or hell, a killing machine."He shouted as it snarled harder and in a blink it vanished .Zale rolled of me and breathed heavily and coated with sweat. We bolted as I asked more questions as, my heart hammered in my rib cage, "What the hell is the Ringatod locket?"I asked as we jogged away."I don't really know but I heard is a myth, "he muttered as I huffed and glared," Ok, ok. Don't give me that look. "He softened the blow by laughing as I panted heavily and looked over my shoulder. it's a prophecy about when one wolf will kill and end all Alpha's and rule everyone by stealing the Ringatod locket and Golden flower to control the gifted humans and the locket steals your powers but I didn't know it exists looks like I was wrong The healer talked about it lately, a lot," Zale said," Killing one Alpha takes all," he added, breathlessly and tensed.

I sighed, "Great. Sounds like Tangled and Percy Jackson."

I entered the pack house feeling sweaty and smelt like shit as I sniffed myself. I decided to train effortlessly to remove my stress and Sapphire beat my ass by dragging me from the boxing ring it was embarrassing.

"Hey, Heather."Ares said as I smiled as I waved at her as I came out from the bathroom really exhausted with body pains and a throbbing headache. Ares arch a brow and looked me intently. 'YOU OKAY?"Ares screamed as I clamped my mouth shut as bile formed in my throat."Nope, I'm fine. I just had a period emergency that's all."I lied and shrugged."Ouch, period's really suck. "She said and I forced a pained smile. She sniffed then hunched and croaked. Then she was taken back and screeched holding her stomach."I don't feel so good."She said as she paled and coughed. She blinked then her eyes flashed blood red and-glowed. It lacks warmth and happiness."Ares you okay."I asked and recoiled as her pupils turned into silts, her teeth grew shaper and longer, her nails grew into talons-not claws but shaper and dark.

I slowly knelt down and grabbed my gun then sprinted with a wounded cry at the sky she changed. In a flash, she blocked me and smelled me as she stalked closer and threw me like a sack of potatoes onto the floor as the gun skidded from me. I groaned and screamed as I scrambled up the stairs. "Your blood smells amazing."She moaned in pain and slashed me as I kicked her into the torso as she smiled and almost spilt her face. Her teeth grew as she snarled, shrill and long. Then she screeched looked at her stomach and screamed. She was flung across as I climbed up the stairs. She cascaded down the stairs as I saw-Sara the healer with a silver rope and she wore thick leather gloves .She was breathing heavily as Ares had blood soaking her stomach from the floor as she groaned. She stood and threw the wooden dagger on the carpet and literally dressed in tights and leather.

"What?"I screamed as she shushed me as she cradled her body.

"What the hell is wrong with her?"I asked and stared

"Ares tried to bit me, kill me and eat my crotch." I yelled hysterically and fanned myself. Sara rolled her eyes.

***

I inhaled the spicy aromas as I darted my head to see Ares peacefully sleeping as she breathed on the mat. Sara wrapped her stomach in bandages and applied a thick green paste after she changed and discarded all her weapons as we lay in silence.

"She's a vampire."I said in flabbergasted, placed my hands on my legs as crossed my legs. I stared at her and narrowed my eyes at Sara."How-how...did you know?"I asked and gaped at her and she blew on her coffee and smiled."I have my ways."She said smugly and cleared her throat and wakes her up, violently.

"So ya'll telling me that she's a hybrid but her parents are wolves."I defended and crossed my arms on my chest but she smiled.

"...What do you mean? I'm a fucking vampire?"Ares screamed and gripped her bare stomach."Yes, you are."She stated and squirmed."Really, you knew how and where did you get those weapons?"She screeched harder.

"You creep me out."Ares snapped as I nodded."YOU SPEAK IN RIDDLES THE DAMN TIME."Ares added.

She just smiled like creepy ass doll and looked at me."Notice any signs about yourself .Heather, you're one strange girl aren't you, "she smiled, placed her cup of tea down on the mat and stared at Ares, "You reap what you sow, don't you. You gave a warning and come back to you now."She answered.

"No one in my family or anyone in my generation is anything other than a wolf."Ares scoffed angrily, her shoulders tensed as she glared at her hard.

"You're a specialis."

"No."

Just then I got a throbbing headache as I groaned in pain, gripped my temples as everything blurs tilts sharply and wavers like a roaring wave.

"I can't be a vampire, I just can't ."Ares snapped, tears sting her eyes. Sara looked at her and tensed and shifted uncomfortably."No, you're a fledgling and halfling."She stated then she turned to me,"Heather, I'm sorry, I nodded ,"How I don't want hurt anyone and I'm not drinking blood-of humans and of werewolves."She added and crossed her arms and breathed heavily."For now don't tell your brother or anyone in the pack at all. Better be safe than sorry ok."She warned as Ares and I exchanged worried looks.
