Hidden daughters

"Are you sure we are going the right way? Because It is already dark and it feels like we are going in circles" I say to my best friend Tora. "I think I would know since I was in girl scouts for all my middle school years" She replies with an attitude. We were currently trying to find a place to set up camp, in the middle of the woods. I know you are probably thinking why are you in the middle of the woods? Well you see Tora and I love nature so since it was summer we begged our parents to let us go on a little girls trip for a month in North Carolina.

"Hey maybe those people can help us" I say as I see a couple of shadows surrounding a fire. Tora and I walk towards them and the closer we get we see a women surrounding a man that was in his knees in front of a dark skinned woman that had all types of necklaces around her neck.

"H-

As Tora tries to say something I hurriedly cover her month and point towards the scene that we were witnessing. I slowly remove my hand from her mouth.

"I wonder what they are doing?" She whispers to me. " I think we sh-

Before I could finish, the dark skinned woman starts chanting loudly and her eyes start to gloss over. As she chants everyone around her starts to chant with her as they swayed around the fire. While they were chanting I felt a remembrance of something that I couldn't explain. I had felt as if I knew this song by heart and I felt a strange feeling to want to go and chant the song with them.

"How do you know this song?" I heard Tora whispers . Before she mentioned it I didn't even realize I was singing along with them.

"I don't know" I whisper softly looking down at my hands. When I look back up I see the dark skinned woman stab the man that was on his knees in the head. Next to me I hear Tora screech. I push her and my myself into the ground hoping that they didn't see us.

I try to slow down my breathing but it wasn't working. I suddenly see a shadow casting over me and Tora. I look up and see the dark skinned woman standing above us.

"What are you doing here child!" She screams. Tora and I sit up and we both try to back away from the woman in horror. Suddenly the woman comes to a realization and starts to bow to me.

"I am Sorry my goddess, please forgive me" She says repeating it over and over, Suddenly I black out.

Tora Pov

As me and Eris watch the people chant a song. All of a sudden I hear Eris start to sing as well and she had a happy face as if she has known this song her whole life, but the one thing that confused me even more was that the song was in a different language. I am pretty sure the langue she was speaking was Latin and the only reason I knew was because my parents taught me at a young age since they were rouges and ran away from their pack.

Yes, you guessed it I am a lycan. It's kinda of like a werewolf but we are different and the same in some ways. Anyways back to the point, since I understood Greek a little I could tell that this was a ancient ritual for werewolves, this ritual is strictly for alphas so basically in order for the Alpha to turn into a wolf at the age of 18 he had to be accepted by a coven of witches and the witches have to call out to the goddesses of Circe and Hecate. Circe is basically a goddess of transforming humans into creatures mainly wolves and tigers where Hecate is known to be the goddess of witchcraft. In this ritual the human body of the alpha must be killed in order for him to fully change. The reason why a alpha doesn't change when they are younger is because all through their lives they have to basically charge up their body so that when they finally transform they are strong enough to come back. Meaning that they their human body has to be strong enough to come back.

Now the reason why I say this is a "ancient" ritual is because most packs don't like this method because once the human body is changed and the alpha is now fully bonded with his wolf they usually go on a killing spree. Most packs just wait it out for the alpha to change when he is around 20 but with that method the alpha doesn't get his full power but he is still stronger then many werewolves just not as strong as a werewolf that goes through this ritual.

"Τον συνδέουμε με τον λύκο του, και καλούμε τις ελληνικές θεές, τον κύκλο και Εκάτη, και τραγουδάμε το τραγούδι του Εκάτη για τη δύναμη του δεσίματος." (We bound this man to his wolf, and we call out to the Greek goddesses, Circle and Hecate, and sing the song of Hecate for the power of the binding.)

As I watch Eris sing the song of Hecate I see that her eyes starts to slowly blacken.

"How do you know this song?" I question to Eris, she looks at me as if she didn't even know she was singing along.

Before I can say anything else the man gets stabbed in the head and I let out a screech, look I know bad idea but I have never seen this before. Eris pushes the both of us down on to the ground. When we both look up we see the dark skinned woman standing above us.

"What are you doing here child!" She screams, the woman sudden comes to a realization of something and starts to repeatedly say sorry and forgive me to Eris when I look back at Eris I see that her eyes are now fully black.

She stands up and as she does so there is a shadow like figure behind her almost demon shaped. Suddenly the woman is thrown back and her once glossed over eyes are now back to normal and she starred in horror at Eris and kept saying how sorry she was for disrespecting her.

I turn watch from where I am on the ground and watch as Eris steps over plants and walks to the scene of the dead Alpha and the witches that surrounded him were all bowing to Eris.

"As daughter of Hecate I give the boy the power of the binding and Daughter of Circe will give the power of Transformation" Eris said before looking at me as if waiting on me to come to her.

I then suddenly feel a great sense of power rush into my body before blacking out.

Was I the daughter of Circe?
