14 years old - Flashback

"Mom, Dad. Check this out!" I called, waiting for their attention to be on me.

They turned their heads to me, smiling ear to ear. "What is it, Kronos?" Gaia, my mom, sweetly said. Her cheerfulness painfully contagious.

I readied myself as I launched into the air and did a triple back flip. My dad, Ouranos, smirked as he saw me do my stunt. While mom gaped her mouth, her hand nearly covering her mouth. "That's my boy! See, sweetheart. He got the good genes from me." My dad teased mom.

That ended up mom slapping him on the back of the head.

"Nonsense. You were just a sperm donor." She retaliates.

Dad pouted and I wanted to gag when they started teasing and poking each other more. Yuck, talk about married couples or mates.

Leaving my parents be, I wonder a little far away from them to practice more of my stunts when I notice something, or rather someone from the thicket of the forest.

A shiver ran through my spine from making eye contact.

Trembling, I reminded myself that I was an alpha offspring and I had nothing to be afraid of. "Show yourself, this is pack boarders!"

When nothing came out, I threatened, "I'll call the guards here! You have three seconds, whoever you are!"

Once more, the figure didn't dare to step forward. I started counting down loudly as I walked backwards, still maintaining eye contact. My heart was racing loudly with every step I took because I was scared. Usually, they would give in by now but they didn't.

When the one passed my lips and I was about to shout for my parents, I heard them scream for me.

"KRONOS! WHERE ARE YOU?" My Mother bellowed desperately. Not a second after, my father mind-linked, 'GET TO THE PACK HOUSE, NOW. OUR GUARDS HAVE MET WITH ROGUES. WE'RE BEING UNDER ATTACK!'

Before I could reply to any of them, I was grabbed roughly by a soft hand and gagged with a sweet smell. My vision darkened as I heard an explosion in the direction of the pack house. Flames were in the air with smoke, as I was taken in by the darkness.

A splash of water rained in on me as I threw a coughing fit. Blinking multiple times, a foul smell hit me square in the face as I woke up.

Smelled like the depths of hell, except worse when combined with a dead skunk. Gagging at the odor, I tried to cover my nose when I screamed in pain.

Turning my head, it came to me that I was chained up by lines of silver. I switched gears and tried to mind-link my parents, but to no prevail. Panicking, I look for an escape route when a throat sounded like it was clearing caught my attention.

Tilting my head up, I was met with pure red eyes.

Ones that seemed like a vampire.

Shaking in my boots from the cold and from the menacing glare from the figure in front of me, I squeaked out, "W-Who are you?"
