Third Person POV

It was precisely eleven o’clock pm on Friday night and not a single human was outside. They had sense something was going on for a while now. There was heavy and anxious atmosphere breathing throughout the town. It didn't surprise them when school was temporarily closed one week ago. Since then, they didn't need to be told to shut their doors when the clock strikes seven. At the moment they were all deep in slumber land and nothing could or would wake them. Ghostly figures occupied each house of a human, preventing them from waking up until they were told otherwise.

          Tonight was not for the ordinary. No it was the night one of the most important battles would go down in the history of Icarus Falls and not a single human would know. Sleep humans and dream of peace because tonight would result in nothing but violence, death and blood. Like powder and ashes, everything will blow away when the sun rise.

          Outside in the cool and silent night stood hundreds of werewolves waiting and watching in absolute bliss for the chance to defend their land. They were all gathered in platoons headed by a strong leader wisely chosen by their alphas.

While the wolves waited for a signal, a man with long white hair and soul sucking cold white eyes entered the town. He was wearing thick coat made out of meat skin; the air surrounding the man was deadly which peg the question, what animal did he skin for his coat? To this man, every being was below him which meant they were all animals. Smirking darkly, he inhaled; tonight, he will reap their souls and nothing would escape him, not this time. The man stood behind a tree, deciding to wait for the entertainment.

          Standing close by Adonis, Osiris tilted his head slightly, the only indication that he knew about the man’s arrival. The long dark hair boy was wearing a black leather pants with a long leather coat over it. He finished his look with a dark leather boots and his hair tie into ponytail.

          Black was the color they all chose because this was the battle of the night. They were standing outside in a large deserted field waiting. It was agreed upon that the fight would take place on the outskirt of town, not in the heart of Icarus Falls. While the opened barrier would allowed their foes to entered, other obstacles such as mountains, valleys and natural landmarks block other possible entry to the town making where they were all standing the only entrance.

 At 11:45pm a crackling noise sounded in the air; everyone looked up searching for the sound.

“What was that?” alpha Solis broke the silence and asked his son-in-law.

          “Sound of the barrier breaking, soon there will be nothing left of it.” Osiris answered and turned to the people who had somehow manage to force themselves into his life leaving him with no choice but to deem them his family.

          “That is my signal. Soon the eclipse will start and the town will be free for all. You will have one hour after the barrier is closed to deal with any intruders. Remember, during that time, nothing will get in or out."  The demigod explained to the future and current alphas standing in front of him.

 Helios was the first to walk to him and shook his hands. “Be careful out there okay?” Osiris nodded and touched Helios forehead sending strange warmth through the golden hair boy’s body.

Before Helios could ask what was done to him, Osiris pulled away and stood in front of Cyan. The silver hair boy smiled in affection at the boy he had come to know as his little brother in law. “Don’t overdo it!” Cyan pulled Osiris pony tail causing the demigod to smack his hand away.
