Sara Waters

Chapter 10

The rest of the night, we headed back to the safehouse to get ready for our night training. Of course, we had to finish our homework beforehand, which gives us a bit more stress, but we managed to do it in time. We quickly dressed up in our night outfit. Mine was much like the morning outfit except it had the pack's symbol on the front of the jacket. And it didn't have the elbow-blades, which made it more conformable, and I could move my arms around a lot easier than with the morning outfit.

Though, I was too busy quaking with my new outfit, to notice Erick's. And let me just say that it was something. He was handsome. He had on a shirt that feels completely leather when I touch it and had steampunk belts attaching to the other side. On the pants it had belts too. I'm guessing I was holding some weapons, and around the sleeves had the same belts. And around the neck he has a large scarf. He was in these uncomfortable looking combat boots. On top of all that, he was wearing a large overcoat. He'd smiled at me, and I returned one back with my own.

I chuckled and said to him, "You look handsome, my prince."

"And you, my princess, and you are beautiful as ever, no matter what outfit they have you wear," he said with his charm, kissing me on the lips. I smiled and looked up at him. We walked out of my room, finding everyone waiting for us to start our nightly training. "Lady Athena, Lord Bill, "Erick greeted, bowing in the most graceful and elegant way.

"Oh, come on, Erick," Uncle Bill said. "You're practically family."

"Old habits my lord," Erick said.

"Habits that are hard to put an end to," Uncle Bill says. Practically agreeing with Erick.

My parents, Athena and I giggled, and chuckled at them, making them blush.

...

Uncle Bill and I headed to the Transfer Circle to begin training when we heard something moving in the trees. It got his attention and had us stop to listen.

"Who's out there?" He yelled. "Come on out, you're on The Silverback's territory! Come on out or be prepared to be forced out by the strongest warriors of this pack!" Suddenly, I noticed that some of the members arrived out of nowhere. All of them were behind us, forming a half circle around us. Behind them were my parents and Erick who were wondering and watching what was going on.

Dad looked up and pointed. "There!"

Damion Jones

I couldn't believe it when I saw the dark figure, he was much closer now and I could see who it was. This can't happen now. "Come out intruder! You're surrounded, and you won't last long!" Bill yelled. He saw the dark figure too, but he doesn't know who it is. It was my brother, Seth. Out and about. In dark clothes, instead in an orange jumpsuit.

"How's that possible?" I asked, as he quickly disappeared back into the trees. I noticed that one of the wolves wanted to go after it, but Bill held his hand up keeping it from moving further, which I wished he'd hadn't, considering I wanted to know what he'd wanted. Why was he here?

I ran quickly to Bill and Sarah was confused about what just happened. I looked at her and asked. "Are you alright?"

She shivered a little and spoke. "Yeah, dad, I'm fine."

I nodded and turned to Bill. "It was him, Bill, it was Seth."

His eyes widened and turned to his wolves. He signals two of them to go check it out to be sure.

"Are you sure, Damion?" He asked, I looked at him with an annoyed stare. He knows I hate that question. Why would he ask that? Just like Brian. Do they think I'm senseless or something? I mean, I know what I saw, I didn't believe it, but I know it's true.

"I'm sure," I said. I saw him in the light, from the safehouse. The moon shines on him long enough for me to see before he disappears back into the trees."

He raises his hands and says, "Okay, well, check with Brain, to be sure, and until the two warriors, Axel and Winds report back, this land will be on patrol 24/7 and we'll even have extra warriors come in just to be on the safe side."

Then he'd looked at Sara and added. "In addition, everyone must be doubled with a partner in and out of this territory! This includes our visitors, no excuses."

He sighs heavily while crossing his arms and says softly. "Tonight, of all nights. Why now?"

"I don't know," I said softly, shaking my head.

"Maybe it is me," Sara says, as we looked directly at her confusingly. "Maybe he's after me."

"No, don't say it, sweetie," I said, hugging her tight. "There's more than that, there just have to be."

"Dad, we both know why Uncle Seth broke out of prison, he's after me," Sara says, her voice sounding worried.

"Which is why this training is so important," Bill said suddenly, as I turned to look at him. "Damion, I know you can't stand being away, but we really must be going. You know the rules, only werewolves are allowed at the Transfer Circle, and until her time is done, she's safe there. We'll work out how to train her once she's normal. She does have 6 more days left."

"Yes, I remember, but Bill, don't you guys have another Transfer Circle, one that works for all species?" I asked him. "Almost every army has one?"

"We do," he said, his eyes widened in a way that seemed like an idea struck his head. "And it works the same way as the ones used by werewolves. However, she's not ready for it, Damion, considering this is something that would use almost all her energy. The last thing we need is her to be knocked out one day."

"Then I'll use it, Bill!" I yelled. I was breathing heavily. "I'll do anything to keep my daughter safe! You know that! I don't care what kind of Supernatural being she turns into! She's my pride." I tried to hold back my tears. Funny, right? A vampire holding back tears. Supposably we don't have any tears, considering we stopped being humans as we turned. No matter what age we were at. No, I still have some humanity within me. We all do.

Bill noticed the tears, and walked up to me. He took the moment to look at me, study me and sighed. "I know, Damion, and I know you would do anything to protect Sara. If she was my daughter, I would too. But you're too close to this, and we can't afford to make mistakes." I nodded.

"Besides, Seth is properly toying with us. Remember his power?" he asked, I'd looked at him, confusingly. "Tut! Aye, Aye, time flies even for vampires."

I'd growled.

"Anyway, your brother has the ability to teleport his projections," he said. "Did you forget that, Damion?"

It didn't even cross my mind. But now that Bill mentions it, I do recall a moment when Seth showed us this ability. I was shocked when I saw this for the first time. Everyone was, especially Bill. I shook my head, but he might have an idea, and I managed to take the time to make a quick phone call to my partner, Brain.
