SMOKE & FIRE

13| Smoke & Fire

-Many Years Ago...-

                 A sudden gloom settle over the land of Cordina Estate as Celestia walked through the pastures of green grass and dandelions. Her grey dress flows around her as her black Indian hair, blows strands of hair into chocolate brown eyes as she walked freely. The Silver in her blood, coat her outer skin as she stare ahead into the evening air. Her Silver and ruby blue crown settle upon her head as Betty her best friend stroll beside her with her huge stomach visible in her deep orange and black dress. Her ginger colored hair was pulled back into a messy ponytail.

                The wetness of the damp earth was still strong due to the heavy rain that have three days ago, Celestia was starring ahead taking in the the beauty of the damp nature that surrounds them both as they both inhale the dewy, fresh, dab-behind-your-ears kind of fragrance which was the dandelion that wafts up ever-so-gently without ever overpowering anyone. It was soothing for them both but especially to the tiger-est that was forming in Betty's stomach, It always calms her down when she make it difficult for Betty to sleep.

Betty was barefooted, as she enjoy the wetness of the earth, caking between her toes. Betty hates nature but the tiger-est inside her did. It wasn't until the sun settle on the dark mountain top that Betty grips Celestia arm as she touch her stomach.

"You okay Betty?" Celestia asked with concern deep within her silky soft voice.

"I smell something," she said as her eyes flicker to mustard yellow and her pupils dilated.

"What?" she asked as she her self sniff the air but all she could smell was the earth and dandelions.

"I don't know what but it doesn't smell pleasant." She covered her mouth before she retch out some pale yellow liquid to the side into the grass. "Alright lets get you back," Celestia stated as they turn to see a raven black hair girl with pale yellow eyes, who looked to be around the tender age of five or six.

"Hey beautiful, What are you doing out here all alone?" Celestia asked bending slightly to touch her but Betty pulled her back. "She's just a baby," Celestia blurted out as she realized, that the girl skin has started to crack, A cute smile appears on her dried lips as she stare up at them, she raised her hand and pointed it at Betty, who grab her chest as Celestia realized that her skin was starting to rip from her body.

"No!" Celestia Scream as she send the baby across the pastures as she grab Betty who collapse into her arms. "Betty!" Celestia called out as she flutter her eyes open to reveal her tiger eyes. "Can you move?" she asked. Betty nodded as she help her up, She glance frantic behind her to notice that the little girl was now standing with a tall guy, who's eyes were on fire. He open his mouth and let out a vibrating scream that cause Betty to collapsed on her side covering her ears that were bleeding.

Frighten and upset Celestia step forward but she collapsed on the ground as the little girl appear before her. "Dad-d-d-d-d-y," she stuttered out as Celestia release Silver into the air , causing the little girl to staggered back covering her mouth. But the tall guy appear beside her, He smell awful and but he had a robust body.

Celestia watch as his entire body engulf into fire as he walked over to Betty shivering. "Don't touch her!" Celestia growled out as she send a shield over Betty's body to protect her. The guy ignore her as he tried to break the shield but it no use. Celestia tried to get up but something held her captive.

"What have you done?" Celestia growl at the man standing before her.

"Your not the only one with special powers," he spit out in disgust as he walked over to her and blow a steam into her face, causing images of Betty burning alive. "Get away from me!" She screamed as she howl into the late evening air. She tries to transforms into her wolf but she did her skin feels like it was ripping apart.

"I don't think you wanna do that, Paige here can rip your wolf to shards if you try." she breathe into her face, as Celestia watch his fangs elongate out of his mouth as his eyes turn to silver. Vampire she gritted in her mind as a shadow creeps up behind her and inject something into her neck, as the vision of Betty beating against her shield.

     "So your telling us my father, kidnap our mother?!" Vanica blurted out as fire simmer in her eyes.

"That's a lie," Jasper gritted with a snare.

"Jasper was known as rogue with mysterious powers to wipe us all out." Cion stated.

"That's not possible, they love each other." Venroy stated firmly.

"The entire Royal Werewolf Pack have been on the hunt for him for ages." he said as anger lace his tone.

"There must be another explanation, My father didn't kidnap our mother." Vanica sputtered out.

"There's no other explanation, I saw it for myself." An unfamiliar voice appear into the room.

"Mom!" Brianne spurt up from the spot she was.

"And you are?" Venroy asked as he stood up.

"I'm Betty Crocker, your mother best friend." she introduce herself. The woman was dress in a silky black dress with orange stripes running down from the waist down, Her ginger colored hair was up in a bun and her eyes were heavy probably from no sleep or she just enjoy hunting for Celestia since the day his parents found her.

"Celestia was found couple years later but died before she could tells us the were-about of Jasper." Beta Robert stated from the corner of the room, where Daisy was busy starring at the ground. "But she manage to tell us that she had twins." Betty stated, as woman dress in a white grown, with flowing black hair walked in with a man who was the exact older version of Cion. It was his parents. They were really here.

"Mom, Dad!" He stood up from the chair behind the huge desk.

"Cion sweetie," His mother called out as he hugged his mother as his father growl at Venroy, causing Vanica appear before him with fire flickering in her beautiful eyes. "What is a Lycan doing on our territory?" he growled.

"I am getting sick and tired of you asses growling at my brother." Vanica growled shake the room, Venroy touch his sister causing their body to illuminate and silver to spilled from their skins as everything around them started to melt.

"How dare you talk to me like that!" His father growled at Vanica, who's body engulf in flame as Venroy body glisten like diamond out in the sun as his eyes flicker to midnight purple, his fangs elongate as the room got perishing hot causing Brianne and Brady to morphs into their tiger.

"Brianne NO!" Betty screamed as both tigers rush into the flames. The smell of skins burning filled the room, as loud siren screaming sounded through atmosphere causing Cion to collapsed on his knees as his felt his body and everything around him smashing to pieces.

"CION!" His mother shouted as he look up but he saw nothing but a deserted burn field. He let out a shiver as the same wolf standing in the midst. "Find Nora!" the wolf voice echoes as everything around me started to crumbled like ash.
