Bitten (Merlin the Undaunted) [ Temporarily Discontinued ]

chapter 3 • greetings and apolagies

Merlin's pov

I decided to do a perimeter run, and check out the forest around here. It smells beautiful, not like the dull depressing scent of the snow back in my hometown, But a rather lovely fragrance. I’ve never been one to complain when it comes to nature, but when the smell is basically nothing I tend to get irritable.

I went for a perimeter run, caught a few rabbits and hurried home. The scent of the Northern pack soon attacks me as I pad my way towards the cave.

I felt myself fade away, as I enabled an invisibility spell. As I work my way over there, I catch sight of a baffled alpha, scanning my cave.

I faded in quickly teleporting in front of him.

I bared my teeth, in tuned into his mind. “My cave, My Territory!!!!” I snarled at their rudeness.

The alpha looked agitated, but I couldn’t care less. This was my terf, and if they stepped any farther they’d lose a limb.

The alpha ignored me, and started taking small steps toward me.

Before I could warn them any further,  I felt my inner peace, suddenly snap.

I arched my back, as the pain sent chills up my spine. My body immediately started growing.

I Looked Down at my paws before shaking my head. I tried to snap myself out of it. I kept shaking my head repeatedly, but there was something in my mind chipping away at the calmness I was wanting to Hold onto.

3rd person

The pale, grey wolf, snapped baring her teeth. Her body grew, and her eyes suddenly started glowing a bright shade of blue, and it seemed as if the energy was leaking from its eyes.

“I SAID LEAVE!!!!!!!” It Roars in the face of the alpha, who was now backing away, with fear ridden eyes.

She shook her head violently, it seemed as if she were trying to stop herself from doing something, but the northern pack wasn’t about to stay and find out. It was only a few seconds before the werewolves scurried off into the woods, dispersing in the distance.

It was hard enough for the overgrown beast to tame it’s anger, now she’s messed up half her cave as well. Her eyes slowly fade back into their normal colour, and the size eventually starts to consume her body. Her size would disend as she released a sigh.

What was she going to do now? All she wanted was to find her brother, and now she’s scared away the only werewolves in her life that could actually help her.

Jeremy apparently lead the North-American pack all the way back to stonehaven, where they changed back, and stormed into the living room to discuss the following events that have happened. “That girl isn’t like anything I’ve ever seen before.”

“She could’ve easily killed us though, so clearly she could control that. Elena tries to defend the wolf girl against jeremy.

“She could be a threat to us all.” jeremy spoke through clenched teeth. “But she didn’t even attack us. Maybe she could be actually be of use.” he said after the brief silence that fell over the room. “How are we gonna get her to listen if..

A knock at the door had drew their conversation to a halt.

They all exchanged a few skeptical glances before elena went to open the door.

“........hey” elena looked a bit shocked before she spoke, “uhh...w-what are you doing here.”

The girl suddenly burst into tears, “I’m So Sorry! I don’t know what’s wrong with me! There are all of these voices in my head. I just want to find my brother….please I need your help.” the girl looked weak for once, almost as if she couldn’t hurt a fly. It was hard for elena to believe this girl was the same Raging she-wolf they followed just a few a half hour ago.

“I’m so sorry…..Uh come in.” elena spoke quietly. She didn’t really know how to handle emotions very well. She had lost her fiance just a year ago but she hadn’t really dealt with in the right way.

The girl wiped away her tears and put on a brave face before stepping into the home of the alpha.

Jeremy Looked over to merlin who; teary eyed sniffling as she looks down. She doesn’t look as harmful as she did a while ago. He could tell this girl had been through alot. There were dozens of scars and bruises that littered her arms.

He couldn’t help but wonder what was going on in her mind right now. Is she really so much of a threat? She looks almost harmless; the way she carried herself over to the couch and slowly plopped down, folding her hands between her knees. She seemed as iff she were trembling.

Jeremy walked into the room from behind her, and noticed something odd. On the back of her head there was a large gaping hole. This might have been what Merlin was talking about when she said she tore the chip from her brain, but how was she able to survive this?

“Merlin.” Jeremy greeted her before taking a seat in front of her. His gaze was awfully long, as he studied the beautiful girl sitting now sitting in front of him. She had long caramelized hair, and Dark brown eyes, with a tint of grey. She wore a Black shirt with Long sleeves, which exposed one shoulder, and she wore Tight Bluish black skinny jeans. “I’ve come to apologize. I’m not here because I wanna be...I-I just want to find my brother.” when she spoke her tone sounded soft, yet raspy. “You’re forgiven merlin. We want to help you, but you need to find a way to remain calm. Everything's going to be all right.“ replies jeremy with a sympathetic smile.

Her eyes lit up, as jeremy stood, to go get clay, out of nowhere he feels a pair of arms wrap around him. At first this startled him, but when he looked down at the seemingly frail girl embracing him, his hard gaze softens, and he hugs her back.

“Thank You!!! Thank You so much you have no clue how much this means to me” she squeaked. “You’re very welcome merlin, but we do still have a few matters to discuss.”

It took her a minute to process those words, but eventually it clicked in her head. “Oh yeah, by powers. Well I can control my wolf side just barely. I don’t understand my witch side though.”

“Well, I think we might actually know a few people who can help with that.”

Soon merlin not only looked puzzled, but rather concerned for what might happen in the near future.
