The once lively party had turned into a bloodbath as bodies laid lifelessly on the ground.
People ran for their lives wondering what might have happened, who was attacking the pack? Was the question that ran through their head.
There was a stampede, everyone ran for their lives.
“Naya are you alright?” Zara asked in concern as both sisters laid on the floor.
Naya shook her head indicating that she was fine as Zara breathed out in relief, it seemed as if Naya was in shock.
“That’s good”
“Have you gone mad?” Zara asked In horror seconds later.
“You could have died, why didn’t you dock away? Huh? That arrow could have hit you” Zara said worriedly.
“I’m sorry, I was perplexed,” Naya managed to say.
“Good, we have to get out of here,” Zara said, holding Naya’s hand.
“Where’s mom and dad, and what’s happening, why’s everyone dying?” Naya questioned, the way the werewolves died instantly puzzled her.
Werewolves could heal and a single arrow would not be enough to take even a child werewolf down.
“They must be around somewhere,” Zara replied, looking around.
“I think we’ve been invaded, you have to be very careful Naya, the arrows have poison in them, I guess it was coated with wolfsbane” Zara responded,
“But how did we leave here?” asked Naya, looking at the condition of the place, there was no way they could leave without getting hit by an arrow.
“We crawl, come on” Zara beckoned, and they both began to crawl on the ground, finding their way to a safe place.
“Haa!!!” Naya screamed as she stumbled upon the dead body.
She took a look at the body only to see the bloodied face of Roderick.
He’s been killed.
Same with Bella, she died right in front of her.
“Get a grip of yourself Naya, let’s go” Zara dragged her sister’s hand away from Roderick’s body.
“What’s happening to them?” Naya squealed, the dead bodies were turning pale blue in color.
“I think it’s the effect of the poison” Zara replied,
“What about mom and dad, Ralph, what about him?” Zara was dancing with him a while ago, when did Zara get to where she was to save her from the hands of death.
“Mom and dad, are trying to save the people, Ralph is dead” Zara replied in a stern voice, as Naya stilled as a tear dropped from her face.
How has her sister been coping? She just lost her mate and yet she came to save her.
“Are you okay Zara?” Naya asked In concern.
“I’m fine and I don’t want to talk about it, move faster” Zara beckoned, increasing her speed.
Naya felt her heart squeeze, people were dying, Ralph, Bella, Roderick and a lot more were gone. What was happening?.
Everything was in chaos.
“Come here” Zara led Naya to a safe corner, as they tucked themselves into a cabinet that was seated at a corner of the party ground.
“We should be okay for now” Zara said feeling certain as she closed the doors of the cabinet.
“I’m scared Zara” Naya whimpered, burying herself in her sister’s hug.
“Don’t worry, mom and dad will handle it all just fine” Zara reassured, though though there was a little chance of them winning, it was a surprise attack, they were taken unaware and she was sure sixty- five percent of the pack was dead.
“Hold on” she hastily brought out a knife from the gown she wore.
“What’s that?”
“A knife, I always bring it along with me, I guess it has proved useful now” Zara replied, boring little holes in the cupboard, so they could have a view of what was happening outside.
Naya watched her sister in admiration, Zara was strong and prepared for anything she could always defend herself in the face of death, unlike her, she was useless and weak that’s why Roderick rejected her.
“Don’t make a noise, I can hear footsteps” Zara said to a shaky Naya and Naya grip on her tightened.
“What are you doing Magnus?” They heard their father’s voice.
“Magnus” Zara mumbled, Magnus was the Alpha of black burn pack, he was not on good terms with their father, because of land issues.
“Don’t tell me Magnus is responsible for all this?” She felt her blood boil, hundreds of innocent lives were lost because of him.
“To tell you that I don’t make empty threats, Fergus” he laughed sarcastically.
“Look at your people, all gone” he jested, pointing his sword at the lifeless bodies.
“I wonder where your daughters are, I will really love to take them as my slaves, they’re beautiful you know” Magnus smiled and Fergus charged at him with a sword.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Don’t ever speak about my daughters” he warned in anger.
“And what?”
“I’m sure they’re around somewhere, I’ll make sure to find them and use them the way I like”
“Magnus!!!” Fergus yelled and their two swords striked.
“Calm down Fergus, the night is still long” Magnus said gesturing for one of his men who stepped forward and dropped a lifeless body on the ground.
“Mom” Naya whimpered, seeing her mother’s lifeless body, but Zara quickly covered her mother to prevent her from saying anything.
“What have you done?” Fergus’ eyes blazed with anger, and soon after two powerful alpha’s engaged in a heated sword battle.
They fought for quite some time, and it seemed like no one was winning, all of a sudden, one of the guards shot an arrow to right through Fergus chest.
“You’ll pay for this Magnus” Fergus stammered, falling weakly on his knees as he spat out blood.
“That day will never come” Magnus chuckled, raising his sword as he beheaded Fergus right in the spot.
“Dad!!” Naya screamed from where they hid, not being able to hold back her tears.
“Fuck” Zara cursed seeing Magnus looking towards their direction with a sly smile on his face, they’ve been caught.
“Look Naya” she whispered to her sister.
“At the count of three, you open the door hmm” she said as Naya shook her head shakily.
“Tie this around your nose” she tore a portion of her dress, giving it to Naya who tied it around her nose, Zara doing the same.
“One,” she began, bringing out a bottle that contained a substance.
“Two,” she muttered, Magnus and his men were already close.
“Three” Naya opened the door and Magnus was already standing right in front of them, his face beaming with smiles.
“My darl…” he could not finish his statement, as Zara threw the substance on the bottle on him and his men.
“Run” she dragged Naya’s hand as they ran for their lives.
