The Protector

Chapter 3 - Unexpected

Chapter 3 - Unexpected

Uncle Derek turns his head to the woods and starts talking.

''Look Kendra, it is that I haven't been completely fair to you. When you first came here you looked like a normal child, who had just lost her family. After a while though, I noticed something strange. When you were angry or upset the water started to boil in the cups and when you were extremely happy it sounded like wind was singing a song and the trees looked like they were dancing.

Your mother was a Warrior, that was sure, but what many didn't know was that she also was a sorceress. Aged 15 your mother went to the Celestial Pack as soon as she had gotten her wolf. She had gotten into contact with her wolf Malysa very early. It was a beautiful wolf. She had red stripes on her white fur, looking like there where magical veins on it. However, she could also change her wolf into a normal one, without the red veins, so that people wouldn't be suspicious.

In her wolfvorm she could control Fire and when normal, as a human, she controlled the Wind. When she was around the age of 19 she met your father, Max. At the time he had just become 20 years old. Max lived had his entire life in the Ventus Pack, and as soon as both your parents controlled their powers they went back to his pack.
Two years later, both being 22 years old, Sabina got pregnant of your brother, Thomas. When Thomas was three he heard he was going to be a big brother to a little sister.

That was you. He was always very protective over you, and he still is."

He still is? He is dead. How can he be protective over me? My brains do not understand this.

"What?" I ask him bluntly.

Uncle Derek sighs and looks towards me.

"When I've finished my story I'll answer all you questions okay?"

All I can do is nod.

"When we arrived at the Ventus Pack everyone was lying on the ground, dead. Except for one pup that was covered in blood. The pup was standing near a dead body which was brutally clawed open and growled to us. We tried to walk to him, but as soon as we had stepped one step towards him he attacked the Alpha that was walking in front, Alpha James from the Saffron Pack. The pup was declared as a threat by Alpha Eathan from the Amaranth Pack and had become a prisoner. When Eathan came to his pack with the pup he made him shift.

The pup was your brother Kendra. It was Thomas.

Since there couldn't be taken any risks, because of the disappearing of a lot other pups and that he was the last one standing when we came there, he was put in the dungeons. After a trial which pleaded him innocent he was replaced out the dungeons, to the Packhouse.
As soon as he turned 14 he was sent to the north part of the Celestial Pack. Also know as the Northern Celestial Pack, or as the Frigus Isle. It's the coldest of the three Islands which belong to the Celestial Pack. There they found out that he is one of the strongest Sorcerers. Being blood related family of you he made a connection between you two and that way he discovered something he has told to me.
Your soul contains a strong power that hasn't been seen in about 400 years, and we aren't sure what it can do. Thomas was unable to find anything about it and after he told me that I could tell the pack that you are a sorceress we have lost contact. We don't know what you're able to. You could mean our death, but you could also be our saviour.

I dearly hope the last one."

I look at him, unable to find any words at all.

After a few minutes of silence I have one question, what has been following me since the attack happened.

"What happened during the attack? Who were those people actually?" I ask while I have my eyes closed.

You might have expected a question about Thomas, but I can't believe that he's alive. Not yet.

When Derek doesn't answer I open my eyes and turn to look at him, but he's looking straight forward.

"We don't know. I'm sorry." He finally answers my questions.

Well, you can't call it an actual answer.

After being alone with my thoughts for a little while the silence is disturbed.

''Kendra? Are you allright? I hear Uncle Derek ask.
I decide to answer in all honesty about what I'm going to do.

''Look alpha, I'm going to stay here and try to find out who I am and what I can do, but I need your help.'' I say to him, but stop talking since I smell something.
While putting my nose up in the air I smell what it is.

''Alpha, do you smell this too?' He sniffs and gets twinkles in his eyes.

''If I were you I would run to the kitchen, and fast.''
He says with a smile. I turn around and walk back towards the Packhouse. When I'm finally in the kitchen I see that Lucas is baking pancakes. Yummy! He turns around to see me standing in the door looking at them.

''Do you want some?'' I look up to him.

''Are you sure..?'' I say with a guilty looking face. Last time he made pancakes I ate so much that there wasn't enough for the rest of the pack.

''You can eat all you want...''
he says with a big smile on his face. Oh man, he is going to regret that he said that. Soon the rest of the pack walk in. I hear a lot ''smells good Lucas.'' ''You sure that you have enough?'' and the last one is definitely because of me.
Everyone is sitting and ready to eat and after such a long time waiting those good smelling pancakes are on their way to me. I mean us. Whatever.

°•1 hour later, when everyone has finished•°

''Man you sure made enough. I ate way to much Lucas and there are still a few pancakes left.'' I say.

I turn around and look at the clock. Oh no, please be kidding. It's already seven am and I still have to make my homework. Arrgh! Stupid school! It is necessary for my future I know, I know, but that doesn't have to mean that I like it.

*Sigh* Well then I guess I have to go to my room and make homework. I stand up and walk to my room. I look at my phone how much homework I have. Luckily it isn't much. Only maths and I'm good in that, so I guess that it will take about fifteen minutes.

°•Thirty minutes later•°

It took a bit longer but who cares. It's done. Now I'm finished with my homework I notice that I am really tired, so tired that I don't notice that someone opens the door. When I feel two strong arms pull me up someone lap I scare up. I look up to I see who it is and I relax immediately.
Snuggling against his chest I'm trying to find a comfortable spot to sleep and as soon as I've found it, it doesn't even take a minute before I'm in Wonderland.

"Goodnight little one." I hear him say, just seconds before I'm totally asleep.

So here I am, in the arms of a boy I care about very much.
