Sara Waters

Chapter 6

Erick

I was more in love with Sara now than I was ever before the switch, even more now that I know what she is. After my time with Alpha Bill and actually taking a walk to gather my thoughts about my concern for Sara. This is why the switch is so important, we can actually learn more about that person we switch with. It can do two things, one it can drive us even more apart than we already are, and two, it can bring us even closer than before. Like it did with me and Sara.

Maybe even closer than I previously imagined, considering that we were sleeping in bed together, skipping the pack's morning chores and really just having some time to ourselves. Alpha Bill ordered us to after the day we had yesterday. I'm grateful, truly, especially when he eased my concern of Sara turning into her uncle. Everyone in the pack knows what that bastard did, and they know that Sara was the one that stopped him the last time. How'd she begin to forget about it? It's beyond me. But it doesn't matter, we are together, and I hugged her close to my chest as we continued to sleep through the day.

Until I felt something, a strong whoosh-like noise by the window.

"Hmm," I whispered and looked out the window. I saw something and slowly let go of Sara to go check it out.

Where was the extra security? I thought Alpha Bill added some after Mr. Jones encountered a dark figure the other day. With that in mind, I walked outside and followed whatever it was outside Sara's room. I looked around, whatever it is, I can feel it through Sara's power and it's evil. Very evil. I heard it again, this time it was towards my left, where I caught up with Mr. Jones.

Has he felt the evil figure as well? He must have, because why else has he been out here?

"You felt it too, didn't you?" he asked, and I nodded.

"Yeah, and it's evil, very evil," I said, with a deep, chilling voice.

"I know," we looked around for it again. "The problem is, I don't know who or what it is? Or why is it here?"

"It can't be for our lands, it would have attacked us by now instead of toying with us," I stated. At this point, I wish I had my powers and never had the switch. I could sniff him out. Without the knowledge of how to use Sara's powers, out here, I'm useless. "For Sara perhaps?"

"Or her powers?" he wonders, making me think about that too.

That Afternoon, we had a private meeting with both Alpha Bill and Alpha Athena, we told what we saw and what we felt this morning. It was a dark figure, the same one that Mr. Jones saw a couple nights ago. I told them about the mysterious figure being evil. Being very evil, and how it surprised us with its visit during the day.

He didn't say much at first, but I know Alpha Bill is worried about this dark figure wandering onto our lands and for Sara's safety. I am too, especially if that dark figure wants to get a hold on Sara's powers. Because no good would come of it if whoever or whatever it is gets its slimy hands on it.

"Besides putting more soldiers on patrol, I really don't know what else is there to do," he says, with a worried tone. "Not unless we give both Ariana and Sara, as well as Erick some escorts, because as you said it yourself Damion, we don't know what this figure wants, or why he's here."

"First the disappearances, now this," Alpha Athena spoke sadly, which gave me an idea and turned to Damion.

"Do you think that dark figure has to do something with the disappearances in the city?" I asked, his eyes looked at me like I was crazy or something, but he later thought about it and looked back with eyes widened and terrified.
