Prophecy

9

The metallic smell of blood was the first thing that I noticed. The aroma was so gruesome, my wolf and I wanted to puke. A cold shudder tickles down my spine. I glanced nervously for any signs of Rose but, I can't shake off the feeling of so many bad souls watching me.

Then, I realized why I'm here again and my bravery kicks in. My nose wiggles and my eyes are shut tight. My concentration was so high, I could hear all of the 25 heartbeats in the cells.

A little voice on the other side of the building catches my attention. The soft whimpering sounds so familiar.

I let my ears do all the walking and they lead me up stairs, to the right, and in the far back.

The girl looked broken, her red hair was a mess, her clothes were tattered and she was shivering.

I stopped staring at Rose and lifted the keys into the locket. I successfully opened the cell and watch Rose.

Her head slowly rises and she tenses. I give her a small and encouraging smiles when she sees me. Rose jumps and run towards me.

I engulfed her into my arms as she sobs more.

"Oh Lilly, you were right, you were so right. I'm sorry for not listening. That beast said he'll do horrible things to me. I miss you so much oh my moon goddess-"

Interrupted Rose.

"Okay I get it. Now is not the right time to be sappy. We have to go now." I said alittle too sternly.

Her trembling hand intertwined with mine. We walked towards the main door. I put a finger up to my lip and motioned Rose to be quiet.

The bodies of the 2 guards were gone. I sucked in my breath. Rose and I didn't have enough time. I turned to her with wide eyes. She gets the memo and begins crying again.

My hand snatched her arm. So far, no one was near the cells. The place looked deserted. My wolf warned me about ninjas? Whatever that was.

Rose and I sped walked away from the cells and towards the forest. Our feet crushed the fallen leaves and left a trail of broken leaves.

We were near the neutral land. I could feel the freedom. But, a viscous growl erupted behind Rose and I. My grip on Rose's hand tightens. We both slowly turned. I gasped at the sight in front of me.

A grayish black wolf barks. It's bark was a threat. If we move then he will attack.
My eyes didn't move away from the wolf. I knew exactly who the grayish black wolf was. His eyes looked the same, but bigger.

Then, they multiplied. 1 wolf became 5 wolves, then 10, then 15 wolves.

'The ninjas!' My wolf yelled.

The group of wolves looked ferocious. Each and everyone one of them showed no fear. And for a second, I felt intimidated. On the other hand, Rose was shaking like crazy.

After, our little stare down, I made a move and ran with Rose trailing next to me.

A howl blared in the distance. The sounds of paws come closer and closer with each ragged breath. The hot air coursed through my lungs and dried my already parched throat. The fear of getting caught again made my heart pump fast.

I looked at Rose to see if she was okay. She gave me a small encouraging nod. The howls stopped. I closed my eyes and focused on my hearing. No one was chasing us. Not a single paw was heard.

Rose and I stopped. I let my hands rest upon my knees as I took two deep breaths. In through my nose out through my mouth. After wiping away the beads of sweat on my forehead I took in my surroundings.

"Do you think we outran them?" Rose whispered.

I shrugged my shoulders. The both of us weren't tired anymore. I turned around to begin our long journey to where ever the hell we were going to.

"Stop!" A boom voice orders.

I swiftly turned my head. My eyes met a pair of brown ones.

"You can't run now." He smirks.

I taunted him and stepped forward.

"Watch me."

I grabbed Rose. We were about to shift but, wolves blocked our way. I turned around but, more wolves emerged from the bushes. They began circling us. And the last man that emerged was Grayson. He looked mad as usual. But, with alittle bit of gleam in his eyes.

I growled at him. He fucking knew all along. It was a trap and I fell for it.

"You knew!" I yelled.

"Your heart is just too pure. I knew you wouldn't leave her behind. And now I have you." The beast smiles and shows off his perfect teeth.

"I'll just run away again."

Grayson looks at his beta and nods at him. His beta swiftly walks towards us and grabs Rose. She screams at the top of her lungs and I quickly try to fight him off.

"You come any closer and I'll snap her head." The beta threatens.

"What do you want?!" I asked with so much desperation.

This is blackmail. It's sickening to be blackmailed by a beast.

"Come with me." Grayson says.

"And do what?"

His eyes gleamed with happiness but his face was stern.

"Be my Luna."

A Luna? I'm not meant to be a Luna. I'm an Alpha Female who needs to control people. Besides, I'm not fit to look over a bunch on monsters. What if I become one?

I zone out and think of all of the possibilities of becoming Luna.
What about the prophecy? Do I just forget it?

"Anytime now Lilly. Or else your flower friend gets her head snapped."

"My name is Rose!"

"Okay!" I yelled. I just agreed to be a leader of a bunch of ruthless, disgusting monsters.

"Okay what?" The beast asks.

I glanced at him and see his perfect, chiseled face. He seems to enjoy hurting people.

"I will be your Luna." I whispered.
