Under the dark sky, middle of the deep and scary forest two children about seven years age ran as they held hands. One a girl had black short hair into a gray dress while the other a boy with auburn hair.
Behind them, a slim man into torn clothes chased them nonstop as he gave a wicked smile to reveal his rotten teeth.
The old man raised his hand and used his telekinesis spell to lift the stones from the ground and threw toward them to hit their feet. The boy fell groaning with pain.
"Tresor!" the girl with black hair called her fellow.
She watched his leg only to see blood from the cut made by the man behind them. Instantly eyes filled with worries changed to anger as she faced the man.
"Elise, My leg! my leg hurts!" cried Tresor
Elise watched the man stood near them who plastered a huge grin
"You little rats seeking death?!" growled the man" For those days I have given you a place to sleep and fed you but dared escape from me!"
Tresor trembled to remain hopeless, while Elise glared at the old man and her hand never let go of him.
"You monster am going to kill you!"
"Do you know how to?" he snapped with his horse and mocking tone
Among all pets he ever kept she troubled him the most. He always kidnapped children to taste his portions but since he brought that brat she influenced others to escape and burnt his house and efforts.
"I will make you see how killing is done" he said as he raised all leaves and stones from the ground
"I am scared I don't want to die" cried Tresor
"We won't die! he is the one who will die!"
"Good! Let me see how you are going to save your little beloved"
He tossed everything toward them and immediately Elise put her body in front of Tresor as a shield. Tresor brown eyes enlarged not excepted her acts, even if they became close Elise was among strange people he ever met.
Elise waited for attack however, nothing landed on her. She couldn't survive if her body was hit so seeing herself in intact she opened her green eyes and met with Tresor, he also was fine so she turned to the old man.
But instead of an old man, her eyes met a huge brown beast stood before her with intense eyes and a reason attacks never reached her.
The beast more as a werewolf and part as human since was in two feet however everything else was a werewolf with paws, tail, brown pelt, and sharp fangs.
At the same moment white and large thing landed on the old man's body and ripped him apart so fast and without hesitation.
The old man fell aside and stayed still. The white thing turned to a stunning white wolf larger in shape than the former and had sharp blue eyes.
The white wolf shifted her paws disappearing to become beautiful human legs and hands and the head revealed long black wavy hair and soon into a nacked beautiful woman.
Tresor had to look aside from such view while Elise raised on her feet and flatly said "You finally found us, Mother"
"Who allowed you to go outside the pack?!"
"His name is Tresor. He got hurt please allow him to return with us" She said looking at him as if she wasn't asked a question to begin with.
Five days ago Elise sneaked out the pack to explore what was outside. Unfortunately, she met misfortune and kidnapped by a witch and there she met with a boy who told her was Tresor.
He was a werewolf as her but he couldn't remember where his pack was. They helped each other to survive and planned to escape which became successful.
Three women walked near the mother of Elise and one of them gave her a white long dress. She put on and ordered
"Take them back"
"yes, Luna"
The brown wolf stood on four and took the children on his back and the journey to return began.
In the elegant room with a huge round bed at the corner, Elise paced left and right. Tresor wasn't from their pack so she worried they might take him as a rogue.
A middle-aged woman opened the door and walked inside. She has short curly hair wearing long blue dress.
She ran toward the woman "Sierra, what they have done to him? He is alright?"
Sierra inhaled "Elise, Luna gave an order for you not to go outside your room for two days"
"I asked you about Tresor!"
"He was hurt but he is healing pretty well" Sierra inhaled once more "For days your parents never got a single sleep searching for you"
"Does it bother you?" harshly she snapped
"What if your mother didn't find you on time... something bad might have happened"
Elise panicked and wanted to shout but she decided against it and went to sit on the bed.
"You can leave, I want to sleep!"
"At the end, she is the one who got mad"
She has been taking care of Elise since young because her mother most of time has been busy. Frankly speaking, she knew her better than anyone and only her knew how different she was from other normal kids.
The sky grew darker and in the moment of silent hours suddenly Elise woke up to the voice of someone calling her
"Elise!"
In shock, she opened her eyes but soon relaxed to find was her mother. She raised and sat
"Something happened to the pack. You have to leave with Sierra"
She watched her mother in confusion.
Her mother's eyes stung with tears and hugged her
"Your father...! Anyway, do hurry up and go with Sierra..!"
At that time the woman burst inside "Luna, they are already here!"
"Sierra take her outside the pack!"
Immediately Sierra walked to her bed.
"What's going on?! Where am I going?! Am not going anywhere"
Her mother took a necklace and put around Elise's neck. She watched her daughter for seconds and saying nothing she rushed outside.
"Mother!" She called but she already rushed outside "Sierra tell me what's happening to the pack? or else I won't leave"
Later on, Sierra shifted into a brown wolf running middle of the thick forest with Elise on her back.
She ran at a high speed that Elise couldn't see anything besides her. On Sierra back, Elise recalled what she left behind. Her pack and everything was destroyed included the pack members by powerful werewolves who possessed abilities.
They were the most powerful creatures in existence but never once had they attacked the other packs and them being the first with the intention to eliminate them.
She sensed something came after them at a higher speed and wished to swirl her head back to see the creature but failed due to higher speed.
In the middle of running the creature jumped to stand in front of them giving a strong wind and leading Sierra to halt involuntarily.
Elise at Sierra's back fell and unexpectedly was a slope so she rolled going down. She went down and down hitting her small body on bushes till she reached the edge and fell down the Clif.
The moment later when she woke up she was surprised to find unfamiliar surroundings. She rolled her eyes scanned the wood wall then landed on three people staring at her.
One of them his almost hair turned gray while the other two one female and the other male in middle-aged. She noticed the old man looked at her with a saddened look, while the female unreadable expression and the man frowned deeply.
"Adira, Is there a problem with her?!" the old man asked
"She can't remember anything her name or family even my magics failed to help her"
"We should let her live with us?" the old man suggested uncertain with his decision
The man darkened looking at her because he knew she has werewolf blood and were witches taking her was ridiculous since were deadly enemies.
"We are not sure if she can't harm our people later on... as long wolf blood run in her staying with us a huge risk"
"Darius, She is a child who doesn't remember anything about herself think about what might have happened for her to end up in the state she is!"
Darius furrowed looking at his chief. He felt the reason of failure to every wars with werewolves was the soft heart like their chief. They already lost their loved ones but still he wanted to make peace with them.
"Chief, you should give her a name" suggested Adira whose cuteness of a girl spurred the interest in her so she agreed to bring to their home.
"Ra...della? Radella"
