Sara Waters' Origin

Chapter 11

Younger Bill 

"W-W-War?" I stuttered, as I took a step back for about a few inches. "No one told me about participating in any war." "Well, let's hope it doesn't come to that," Erick said, walking near me and placed his head against my chest as a reassurance. "But, if a war does come, we need to be ready. Both of us. That's why we need our bond stronger than anyone else. Please, Bill?" Erick whimpered as I looked at him and wrapped my arms around his neck. Then looked at Marcus who too was worried and signaled him over for a hug. He quickly ran into us, nearly knocking us over, kind of made me laugh a little. 

"Don't worry guys, we can this, and if a war does come we'll ready," I said, as I see them smiled at me. 

Eventually, Marcus had to leave to do things that all vampires do. Whatever, that means? However he did warned me some things before he left Erick and I. According to him and his last words, I was going to be affected by the next coming stages in ways that I would never imagine. That I should trust in Erick more than ever, considering as my wolf, my guardian, it's his job to keep me safe. And that trust, is one thing that is needed to keep a strong bond with him. 

Because without it, it would mean that Erick fail to protect me, and the consequences to that is unbearable. Though he wouldn't tell me about it, he just continued on by saying "Well, let's just say that it's worse than to forget and fade away." I gulped and started to imagine the most horrible things that would happen to Erick. Such ideas caused me to hug so tight that practically made chuckled. "Everything will be alright, Bill," He says, purring and placing his huge head on my nearest shoulder. "I have faith, you should too." 

Erick (Bill's inner wolf) 

"Come, Bill," I said to him as he lingers on wrapping his arms around me. "We need to continue. You heard Marcus, come." I gently nudges him away, letting him hold onto me with just one hand, so that I could lead to a different area. "It's alright." 

We walked for about a mile deeper into the forest, hardly talking to each other. "Bill?" I called out as he just looked at me with fear in his eyes. I didn't what Marcuse said to him, if I did, I assure you that I would diffidently give him an earful. "You alright, you haven't say a peep, since we left the lake?" "I'm just hoping that I won't mess this up, Erick," he said. "You won't, Bill, your stronger than you look," I said as he gave a weak smile. "Trust me, I know." All of the I sensed something in the air. Sniffing it a couple times with my noise.  "Erick, what is it?" Bill asked, me as I looked at him. "I smell something, somebody." 

He looked around with me, when a dark shadowy figure came out of nowhere. "Welcome to stage 2 of the werewolf bonding," it said. And of course, I recognized that voice anywhere. "But of course, young Bill, doesn't want to be a werewolf, does he?" 

"W-What is he talking about? I was born a werewolf," I heard Bill say to the shadowy figure. Of all of the inner supernaturals we got to meet, we had to meet up with this slimy, tickster, Jack. "Wasn't I?" "Born a werewolf, yes, young Bill," Jack said, as I growled at him. Considering Jack is a shifter. "You are werewolf born. However, you hardly pulled the strengths from your abilities, haven't you?" "That's what I'm here," He said, as I tried to get close to Bill, but couldn't. There was something blocking me. "Damn it!" I thought, as I sat down and watched them interact. All I can do at this point is hope that Bill is strong enough and see bypass Jack's tricks. 

Younger Bill 

I was watching this thing circling me, at the same I watched Erick who just nodded at me. Eventually, I could see the shadowy figure turning himself into me as if he was my twin, but with blond hair and dark eyes. 

"Who are you?" I asked him, as I looked at him nervously and watched him give me a sneaky smile. "My name is Jake, I'm your shifter side, Bill," he said, as he gives me a small but respectful bow. I looked at him confusingly. "What do you want?" I asked him. "Nothing, Bill, just your friendship," Jake said, as he circles around me. "I don't see nothing wrong about that, don't you?" "I don't know," I said, watching him getting closer to me. "That depends on what you want, Jack. What's your deal?" "My deal?" He asked, giving me a creepy chuckle. "My deal is that I want to understand you and your relationship with Erick." 

"What do you mean by that?" I asked, as Jake was able to wrap his arms around my shoulders, managing to start rubbing them with his hands. "Well, It just so happens that I was overhearing you guys these past few days, and I noticed that you guys were having issues." "What are talking about? Jake?" I continued, as he continues to rub my shoulders trying to get me relax or something. "Seth was drugging with stupid serum while I was under the influence of some type of medicine that was given to me by my father. Whatever it is you might of overheard, you didn't see the effects that those injections were doing to us." "Oh, yes, I am aware of that, Bill," Jake stated, rubbing me even harder. "But, you know, sometimes injections and serums make us say crazy things. For instincts, Did you know that Erick, here was glad that you two first got the taste of the serum? That he wanted to be free from you?" "You're lying," I said as I thought I heard Erick calling out to me. "Am I?" Jake said, as he slowly turns me towards Erick , who was pacing back and forth, while barking. "I mean, gosh, Bill, it wasn't until the second serum, he realized that he needed you." 

"Stop it!" I yelled, as I covered my ears. "You're wrong! Erick, help!" "Oh, there, there, Bill," Jake said pulling my hands away from my ears. Strange, I started to feel different as his voice suddenly changed and continues to rub my shoulders. "There's no need to cry out for help. I'm just here to comfort you." "Stop! You're trying to confuse me," I said angrily, trying to shake him off. "No, Bill," Jake said softly, as my eyes became suddenly hypnotized. "I'm not, I'm telling you the truth, Erick doesn't care about you the way that I do. Erick is just using you. You should have let him fade away. Your life would have been different, normal." There was no point of fighting him anymore, Jake managed to get me to relax so deep that I stop moving and he stopped rubbing my shoulders.
