Among the woods she found herself hunting her fears .
___________________________________________Anya P.O.V
After the little showdown with Robin I met with violet her face looked tired her eyes were uncertain truth to be told I was nervous even scared the consequences of being caught in the action of this will not be taken lightly . We are overstepping our boundaries in every way possible we are going to commit a crime but if it's still a crime knowing the uncertainty of this life the little freedom that I have , how long will I be able to fake it violet know it too both of our patience are running thin and after looking at her state I know that something is very wrong there is no way she would have come to me with information regarding forbidden forests when I first asked her about the books at the alpha's house she warned me to not think about it but now seeing that she is the one initiating this whole plan something is definitely wrong and I will stand with her and her decision she was there for me and I will be there for her consequence be damned . I smiled at her and hugged her and left together for our journey to himachal .
Time skips to 3 days
It's been three days the conversation from last night it still ringing in my head , I now understand the fear violet was feeling being mated to a supernatural is one thing but been mated to him is a curse of it's own . Violet was inconsolable when she first broke the news to me fortunately she was able to mute her scent and that saved her that day but it can only work for so long she can't risk it , muting one's scent is also a crime punishable by alpha and it case of a mate the power goes to them . We have decided to breach the border of the forbidden forest in the curse valley ( named so because of the infamous witch incident) it's our last resort we need Violetta . I look around our hotel which we stayed for around 3 days acting like the perfect curious tourist making memories and clicking pictures but deep down we both were scared shitless . According to violet's calculations we are going to have only two chance to breach the border which is protected by a invisible shield of spell visible only twice today during a full moon once at 12a.m. another at 6 a.m. this phenomena only occur only today after a century break . Our chances are limited it's do or die for both of us , I have my friend to lose forever but for violet her whole life will be crushed and changed . I took a glance at her it took me quite a few hours to convince her to take a nap for few hours she will be reciting the spells which are in some ancient language spoken among the witches . Just then the alarm ranged on violet phone breaking her short nap we both were rigid in our movement as we left our room to travel we are staying at an cottage type home stay the couples were human and were hesitant to let us leave at this time to explore but after convincing them we left taking our bags with us bidding them a final goodbye and thanking them for there generosity .
Violet P.O.V.
I looked at the sky which was pitch dark with clouds and a single bright blood moon taking a deep breath I collected my thoughts and calmed my mind down as Anya hooked her hand with mine giving me a reassuring smile as we travelled through the outskirts of the village . I read about Violetta when I was asked to clean alpha's library to not draw any suspicion the book was hidden in plain sight among others written in a speech understood by powerful and most ancient creatures since my mother's wanted to know everything about my culture both good and bad they taught me the language but gave up after I didn't show any interest unbeknownst to them I picked up the language and showed no interest I am not a expert in the language but can spell and understand but not speak fluently . A part of me feels frightened knowing that Anya life's will be endangered because of me it's selfish to me and cruel to let her venture in the forest with me but she is stubborn and had refused to budge my side when I told her about my plan . It was just one week ago that horrendous monster of a creature had came to visit alpha while I was working seeing his eyes change colour when he set foot inside the library made me realise that I am his fated one however I had already muted and altered my scent that day when alpha inquired me in front of him , I simply replied I am not well some witches scent changes and alters when they experience anxiety or stress and alpha knew of this he thought that being in presence of him was behind all this the last thing I remember of that day is the feeling of fear caging my body and that day I promised myself that I will fight for my life , my freedom consequences be damned . We were travelling now through rough terrains being outside without any flashlight to not draw suspicion can only work for so long a glimmer of hope emerged and warmed my chest as I took into my surroundings it was 11 p.m. we have reached the forbidden forest left behind was the rough terrain we both scaled but nothing could have prepared us the eerie silence of the forest was nerve wrecking , the tress tangled with others looked dead to me the soil was no longer brown instead it ran a deep red of blood I looked at Anya as we both gulped in nervousness time was ticking by it would take me an half an hour to breach the shield without alerting anyone giving us just a window of 5 minutes to cross the distance of 2 km we both looked each other in the eye and we both saw an array of emotions in us the strongest being the determination. I am sorry mama I am doing this ! Give me strength the spirit of dead I chanted the spells which created a safety bubble
( Imagine the safety circle like this )
around me and Anya we could look outside but we were invisible to others opening my back pack I took out the spells stolen from the book of the dead I looked at Anya and smiled as she created a safe circle around her using rice and ashes of birds and animals I gave her that . Suddenly thunder flashed and it started raining I knew this would happen but Anya stayed in her circle as huge branches whipped around us dropping just before the circle the spirits were trying to intimidate us I contuined chanted as my circle washed away and my bubble was destroyed by the spirit a black hand choked me and my eyes turned white but I countiued the spell knowing if I stopped now then not even death would be able to save us my eyes went wide as I watched Anya stepped out of her circle willingly remind me choke her if I manage to survive everything that happened next was in a blur one moment all I was seeing was white the another I was on my knees the arm had disappeared as Anya had now took my place and was chanting the spells more fluently before I could question anything lightning struck again around us heavily taking down an entire row of tree with it's the dead trees falling like dominoes as we both watched in horror a small opening through the row formed big enough to fit two people side my side . I thanked the spirits and bowed followed by Anya as we both entered the forbidden forest . Our first task was done it was 12a.m. now judging by the position of the stars in the sky of the forest we have only 4 hours for finding the herb collecting it and then moving out of the forest . May the spirits favour us clutching our hands we entered the forest side by side the moonlight being the only source of light there .
