Night Walkers

Four - Council

"Something's off about her." The crazy Zaire women spoke, she was in her late forties and was apparently a very powerful witch who works with Violet eyes.

When Archilles told me about the moon portal thing her and Violet had found us seconds later, followed by Archilles taking a wide step away from me when he made eye contact with Violet. I found it to be weird and suspicious, but left it strangle back in my mind.

"What do you mean?" Violet asks, as he paced around his office, clearly unnerved by something. We sat in the giant room with bookshelves lining the two walls beside the entrance. A giant desk like all Alphas have and two couches which me and Zaire sat on opposite from each other.

"Well when I look at you I see a purple and gold ora, symbolizing power and strength..." She trails off looking at him as she waved her hands in the air, she seemed to use hand gestures a lot. "She has gold and white," I bobbed my leg up and down while resting my elbows on my knees, could she get anymore insane? "White means something... but I forget." She says throwing her hands in the air as if she was finished.

"Can't you do one of your reads on her?" He asks why is he so interested in figuring out whatever my 'ora' is? She nods and walks over sitting down next to me. Zaire was like one of those old grandmas who try's to fit in with the young crowd. With bright pink lipstick and deep purple eyeshadow. But with all her wrinkles she looked like a elephants armpit. So maybe she was actually a lot older than I expected.

"This will hurt." At least she's honest. I nod and she closes her eyes placing her hands on my temple as I feel a warm fuzzy feeling flow into my skull. Soon the warm ness turns into burning bubbles as they pop quickly throughout my brain.

"Stop! Stop! It hurts!" I scream but I couldn't move my arms or feet, my eyes closed as liquid dripped down from my nose. Soon her hands were off of me as she was thrown onto the other couch. I toppled over slamming my head into the coffee table before I passed out.

~<>~

I open my eyes softly as I take a deep breath in, my limbs felt like dead weight as did my head. I could only move it from side to side.

"She's awake." The old hag spoke as I wanted to curse her out for what she had done to me.

"So you're sure what you saw was correct?" I then look over to my right, seeing Violet and the lady speaking, he finally had a shirt on though, maybe I could actually focus on his words now.

"Yes darling, now I have other appointments, bye bye now!" And then poof she was gone into mid air.

My limbs started coming back to me but I still wouldn't even try about moving them, I was comfortable, wherever that may be.

Violet turned around and looked at me, crossing his arms over his chest as his eyes then fell to the ground.

"A lot of strong men are after you," I could do nothing to react besides squeeze my eyebrows together. He sighs and brings his hand to his mouth, looking lost deep in thought. "All men are apart of the council," I still didn't quite understand. "Apparently you are the councils last hope at having a mate," Now I could slowly move my toes and fingers, but still nothing for him to go off of for a reaction from me. "If anyone of them where to reproduce with you the child will be of their kind. Except unstoppable." That had me kicking into full gear, I was out of the bed in seconds, running out of the room to who knows where, anyplace but here.

"River?" I fly past a hallway entrance as apparently Archilles was just standing there as I did so. "Uh why are you running?" He yells down the hall as I didn't bother to stop and chat with him.
