Maurice
So, to recap what just happened:
A. Apparently I'm a werewolf
B. So is Adeline.
C. There are at least 20 people in her
Werewolf pack
D. Every single one of them are here for me.
E. I am now sitting in a trailer with Adeline and her father, who is currently staring at me like I'm some lost artifact.
I glanced at the door, wondering if I would be able to make it before they stopped me. Apparently Adeline guessed what I was thinking.
"Even if you somehow managed to make it past us there are at least 25 other werewolves out there that would stop you." she stated. I sighed and looked back at her.
"Fine. Then why don't you tell me why I'm here!" I said angrily. They were just standing there. Why wouldn't they tell me what's going on!?
Adelines father pulled over a chair and sat facing me.
"Hello Maurice. My name is Jonas Danvers. I'm sure you must be terribly confused, and I apologize for my daughter's behavior," As he said this, Adeline scoffed at his statement. He looked back at her and she quietly sat down. "As I was saying, I apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced, and I will explain why we have acted as such all in due time, but first, what all to you know about werewolves?"
I shook my head and told him I didn't know anything. He smiled slightly, and continued
"Werewolf: A Child of the moon. Let's just start at the beginning. As legend goes in ancient times, a young woman was cursed at her wedding by a vindictive witch, because she had just married the man the witch wanted to be her husband. The man didn't care for the witch, and instead choose his true love, and for this the witch made sure they would pay dearly. The witch cursed the girl to become a beast every month. She cursed her to have a temper beyond control, and to have all of her emotions heightened. Along with this she was cursed to extreme strength and speed, along with heightened senses in hopes that she would become so angry she would kill, and be hunted down by the humans and the man would leave his wife for witch.
But the witches plan didn't work. The man, once he found out what she had cursed to, was determined to help his love. So he ended up praying, to the spirit of the moon. And his prayer was answered, the moon spirit told him that he could in fact help his wife, by becoming like her. She was in fact, like the wolves that live in the wild, a Pack animal, and once she had a pack to be with, she could be content, and her anger would be more controllable.
The moon spirit told him and his wife to come back the next night, and stand on the tallest peak in sight and he would give him the sane infliction. The next night, the moon spirit gave some of the woman's power to the man, forever connecting them. With that, he also tied their souls to himself, and to nature itself. This act changed the way they were, they were beings purity. They were children of the moon. They discovered with time that their children they had inherited their abilities, and their connection to the moon and nature. And thus, the first family of werewolves were born. It is said that the witch would go o to to curse more out of anger towards the moon, and the moon would do the same for them, making them all have their own connections. Soon after, the moon would call all of the transformed together, to beat the witch and form the first werewolf pack. At the head were the first man and woman, they were also the first alphas. They beat the witch and our history continues from there.
That is a story that everyone of us hears from the time we're little kids. That is your history. You are a werewolf, a proud being, one of immense power and capability. You parents were my friends, your father was my best friend. There was an attack on our pack, and your parents gave themselves up to save us. We thought had perished with them, but we were wrong. And now we've returned, to fulfill your parents wish and have you with your pack. Once-" I cut him off. Up until this point I had Been listening my quietly. I understood all of this, but there wasn't any way in hell I was going to go with then to God knows where. I still had questions, like how much of this did my mom and dad know? How did they get wolfsbane? How did they fit into all if this. I wasn't going to just leave, I'm 16. I was in the middle of telling them this and then the door bust open and some man, who was bleeding profusely from both his leg and shoulder came running in.
"JONAS JONAS!" he yelled panting, making Jonas stand up and rush over to him. The man almost fell over but Jonas caught him.
"Cyril, cyril, CYRIL! Hey, hey man look at me," Jonas said trying to get the man, cyril I'm assuming, to calm down "Cyril where's Niles? Where's your brother?" Jonas voice got more concerned by second.
By this point Cyril looked like he was having a full blown panic attack. Adeline yelled something outside and within a few seconds Joseph and Laura were in the room. I didn't understand what was happening, but I knew smarter than to interrupt this moment. Another man came in too and from that point on I couldn't see through everyone. From what I caught glimpses of Joseph and Adeline were holding hands and touching Cyril, for some reason.
After a minute or two of incoherent speech from Cyril, he stopped. I went up by Adeline to see what was going on and Jonas was sitting kneeling by Cyril who was know on the ground, the man who cane running in earlier was treating his wounds, (that looked eerily like bullet wounds), and the twins were behind him, still hand locked and touching his arms with eyes closed and focusing really hard on something.
"Tell me what happened. Cyril we both know Niles can't survive long without you. Tell me. Now" Jonas commanded in a calm voice. Cyril was panting and wincing from pain, but he managed to say only one word.
"Hunters" Cyril whispered before passing out. The twins both snapped out of their trance like state, and everyone within a five mike radius was very still and silent for about two seconds. After that, things moved pretty fast. People started screaming, Jonas yelled something at Adeline, then went outside and started yelling things at his pack. I couldnt focus in anything. At that point I wished passed out like Cyril.
Adeline grabbed my hand and ran out of the trailer, there was complete chaos outside. People were running around, Jonas was barking orders And it only got worse because then a van came out of no where and about five people came out with crossbows and guns and started throwing some sort of powder at people and they screamed once it touched their skin. Adeline true to get me to run away, but before I could there was a little who was caught in the chaos, yelling for her mom. One of the men snuck up behind her and was about to throw that stuff at her. Instinctively I lunged over to her and bent over her protectively. The stuff hit my skin, that was cover with only a tank top, but it only stung a little. The man cursed confused but Adeline quickly knocked him out with a rock, and Mrs. Blackwell picked up the girl and ran the other direction.
"Come ON MAURICE!" Adeline yelled at me, taking my hand yet again and running off into the woods.
I was assuming that these men who throw burning power at little girls were the Hunters. Well, this might be an issue.----------------------------------------------------------------------
