The Celestial Wolf

Connections

We start to walk back to the house hand in hand enjoying the little time we have left in the woods. It's still nighttime and there is a slight breeze that is refreshing blowing gently. A thought hits me and I feel upset that I have forgotten it.

I haven't seen Zehira sense I woke up.

"Stark where is my sister?" I say to him quietly. Thinking about the last time I had seen her she was badly injured and was close to death. Her death would have sent me over the edge. Losing another part of my family is something I vowed never to have happen again after mother and father were killed all those years ago.

"She came to check on you after her wounds healed. However she is still in pain and the emotional effect from the abuse...we don't know how she is with that. She won't talk to us." Says Stark with concern on his face. Zehira was never one to talk. Not unless it was to me or mother.

"I want to see her." I say to Stark. He nods as we get to the door of the house. We walk in and he takes me to the door that leads to the office where Zehira had all her computers and documents.

"I think i'll go in alone so i can talk to her." i say to Stark he nods and kisses me on the forehead and leaves back to my room down the hall. I knock on the door and hear a come in from the other side. I open the door and see Zehira behind a computer her eyes glued to the screen. She looks up and i see tears spring to her eyes as she gets up suddenly and tackles me to the ground in a hug. I chuckle and hug her back letting me smell her familiar vanilla smell.

"I'm so glad you are alive and not dead." My sister says hear voice cracking from emotion. I nod in agreement hugging her closer to me.

"i was scared i was going to lose you." i say in a quiet voice. Zehira pulls away and looks me in the eyes. I see raw emotion in her eyes and a deep wound that is now present.

"I was so scared." she says to me as fear crosses her features for a second.

"What did they do Ze." I say with a serious tone in my voice. She stays quiet for a second but lets out a sigh and begins.

"I was taken to the cave that you found me in. They had me drugged and tied up to the wall. They kept asking me about you and our parents mostly.....I didn't say anything though." She says quietly. As a hunter we are taught at a young age to never break when being tortured. We are taught to be strong and to never break if we were to we would be seen as weak and not able to do our job. Many hunters have been tortured as part of their training. Me and Zehira however never had to go through that.

"They mostly beat me and cut me. I never once saw the two scumbags." She says with venom. Looks like they are getting smart. If they are using lackeys to do their dirty work means that they are hiding in the shadows again....but why?

"i know what you are thinking and i partly know the answer or I think i have a hunch." Zehira says as she gets up and returns back to her seat in front of the computer. I stand behind her as she pulls up some files on past events that have been happening. She pulls up the rouge we were hunting that got away and the event of our parents death. Plus all pack documents from the day mom and dad died to now. Something catches my attention as she is showing me.

"The pack has had a lot of the same events that involves hunters for some reason. I get mom and dad knew The alpha of Stark's park back then but why are all these records related to mostly werewolves and their issues?" I say to Zehira.

"That has been my question. Why would the hunters want to keep so many tabs on wolves and their problems." She says to me. Then something really catches my eye. One name in particular. Sillas.

"What the hell?" I say under my breath. I point it out to Zehira and she squints then starts to connect things together pulling up his name in each file. No surprise his name pops up in every one and they date back to before our parents.

"Sillas seems to be very old for his age and he is involved in every record to wolves and anything else that involves hunters." She says to me. I start to wonder what has the hunter society really up to and exactly who is Sillas.

"Look up his past and any other thing you can find on him. I'll look through our records and mom and dad's records while you do that." I say as I get up.

"Okay don't get to carried away and take a break once in awhile." she says looking at me with a serious look. I give her a nod and a smile and walk out to the study.
