RED WITCH-I

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: SLAYER OF HUMANS

        After being erased by our very parents who abandoned us in Little Mercy Orphanage, Romania. The orphanage is known as Little Mercy Orphan Centre. At present, the director or the one who acts as Supreme is Sister Mercy. Being in the orphanage with our memories erased forever, the place was living hell as we've to follow rules.

        Sister Mercy made us believe that our parents abandoned us since we were 1 year old. Apart from other children, we were locked up in separate room. They think that we're special.

         On the beginning of spring season, it was our duty to water the flowering plants. I was watering the plants while Anna was making a necklace of flowers for herself and probably me. I teased her, "Well, Boys actually don't wear it." She was upset and I consoled her, "Chill up! I was kidding."

         Suddenly, I heard rustling of leaves from the nearby bushes. Anna told me that it's just wind. I was careless and we went to our room. Sister Mercy came to our room with medicine to keep us calm during night. But, we heard howling of an animal, probably wolf. With powers gone, we were worried and Sister Mercy told us, "Not to worry. Pray to Lord."

           A simple word of sympathy was not enough. Thus, the howling of an animal was increasing. I saw a change in my body. My eyes were turning beast red and my body was widening into wolf. Anna was worried and cried for Sister Mercy. She was running to our room with tranquillizer gun and shot me. I was unconscious and Anna asked, "Why is he turning into a wolf?" She stammered, "Well...The..."

       As she was continuing, the alarm triggered as there has been a breach. Everyone was worried and it was total chaos. Sisters of Little Mercy told children to head out to basement for safety.

        While Sister Mercy was with us, and loaded a bullet of tranquiliser. The claws screeched the floor and the animal was approaching to our room. Anna hid in the closet. I was conscious again and there was changes to my body.

         The door opened with loud bang and it was WOLF! A 'WEREWOLF', it's a monster and it killed Sister Mercy. Finally, it stopped and was walking to me like am I the prey. His eyes were cruel and he is in the condition of insatiable thirst of hunger. While, I was changing into wolf and he was transforming into teenager.

          I was surprised but since I'm transformed into wolf, I couldn't resist my anger and hunger and leapt to kill him but his barrier spell threw me to other side. He laughed, "Well...Well...It's Anthony and Anna, the great Supernatural of universe whose powers are bounder infinite and no one can bend you...but I can bend you."

         I growled and attacked him, but I failed as he threw me again like a crushed paper. I was in pain and transformed slowly into my original form as Anthony. I asked him, "How do you know us? Who are you?" He laughed, "What? Don't you recognise me...(In majestic voice?) I'm 'The Werewolf'. Slayer of humans. My name is Marky Ruth" I replied, "So, you're a monster. Look, we mean no harm to you." "That's so pathetic. Why are you acting like coward being a supernatural?" laughed Marky. I chuckled, "Well...listen you've mistaken. Actually, what is Supernatural?"

          "Your piece of information is useful. I come her by the order of my Master to finish you for our further existence in this world. It's damn easy to kill you..." replied Marky. He chanted a spell and transformed into a werewolf. I shouted, "Anna, run!"

          He walked slowly, picked up a pace and jumped like a real predator. But, it couldn't as he was stuck...like floating in air but couldn't move. Behind him...was a strange lady. She has chanted protection spell to us and a spell to make an object to stop. The werewolf was struggling to attack me but the lady chanted, "Glacies corporis", a freezing spell where the wolf was frozen.

         I was almost shocked, "Who are you?" Anna came out of the closet and she smiled, "I do recognize you...But I couldn't remember you." She smiled and embraced us, "My dear children! Are you okay?" I replied, "My Children?" She stammered, "Well...I meant that are you okay?" "My brother Anthony is injured" replied Anna.

"Rivers must flow but blood may not. Blood be bound. Blood be clot" replied the lady.

          I was healed and thanked her for her hospitality. I asked, "What's your name?" She smiled, "Well, I'm Jesse." We couldn't know that she is our mother; our memories were completely wiped out. I said, "Nice to meet you, Ms. Jesse." She couldn't control her emotions, disappeared like a genie to a lamp without any word.

          We were asking ourselves, "Who's is she? Why did she saved us?" Police officers came and they were surprised to see a werewolf frozen to death. They collected the evidence and we were provided comfort. Sister Forbes told the officer that it was our doing and we killed her. The police consoled them that it is not possible and there is no such evidence. The evidence is she's killed by the wolf and we could identify the marks.

           To be honest, Sister Forbes was quiet opposite to Sister Mercy. She accepted the truth and went down to basement which leads to secret door. She chanted a spell to open the portal. The voice growled, "So much pain! You'd an opportunity and you missed it. I want them dead otherwise..." She knelt down, "Have mercy on me, master! I'll finish them off and this time that lady will not be alive." The laughed wickedly and the portal disappeared.

            I heard their secret meeting and while hustled back to my room, she laughed, "Anthony, can we speak about your curfew?" I swallowed my fear as she's evil. I stammered, "Forgive me, sister." I walked briskly but she closed the door with her magic, "Not so easy, Supernatural!"
