The Daughter of Medusa

Chapter 5

Ravens POV

Five rouges were surrounding me, I slowly got up only to be pinned down by one of them. He put so much pressure on my chest, I couldn't breathe. It hurt so bad, the others were biting me on my arms and legs.

I screamed in pain, I was losing so much blood. Suddenly the wolves stopped biting me, the wolf that was on my chest jumped off of me. I could breathe again, and the pain had left. I looked at my arms and legs the bite marks were healing.

I got up and I saw two of the five wolves were dead, how? The remaining three wolves looked angry, one pounced at me I covered my face and closed my eyes waiting for him to land on me again. I opened my eyes, and I was still standing, what?

I looked at my hands and they were glowing yellow up and the wolf was a statue, in mid-air, did I do this? I Moved my hand and the statue followed. I smirked and slammed the statue against a tree. I looked at the two wolves and they were terrified.

I started levitating, just like my hands, there was a yellow luminous surrounding me. They tried to run, no doubt to warn their alpha. I felt my hair changing, they were now pythons. They were hissing, sounds like their hungry.

"Got get em boys." They lunged out and grabbed both wolves by their hind legs and dragged them back to me.

"Are you hungry babies?" They hissed loudly, I looked at the wolves, the one on the left glared, he was still growling and barking trying to scare me. The one on the right was scared, she was crying. I smirked, "Eat the one on the left, leave the one on the right to me."

Without hesitation, they lunged at the one on the left and started to eat him. With each bite the wolf cried in pain. My snakes were tearing his flesh piece by piece, slowly savoring the taste of his flesh. I laughed at the pain the wolf was put in.

Finally, the wolf was silent, he was dead, but my babies were still eating. I looked at the last remaining wolf, her eyes were closed. I guess it was too much for her to see.

"Hey, you!" She looked at me with fear, "Shift into your human form." She didn't move, she was paralyzed with fear. I sighed, the yellow glow on my hands were now blue. I floated towards the wolf and touched her on her head.

She was no longer a wolf; she was in her human form. She was very thin; I could see her rib cage. Since she was in her wolf form, she had no clothes on. She was covering herself, but I could see her scars and bruises.

She was abused...like me. I lowered myself to the ground and stood in front of her, the luminous surrounding me was gone and my hair was back too normal. I squat down in front of her, I raised my hand and she flinched.

I grabbed her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. She looked at me with tears streaming down her face, "I'm Raven, what's your name?" she wiped the tears from her face, "M-m-my name is S-S-Sarah."

"Okay, Sarah, I need you to tell me everything. My pack is in danger, if you help me, I'll make sure you stay alive and don't go back to your pack. Do we have a deal?"

She squeezed my hand back and started smiling, "Deal."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sarah told me everything she knew, and it made my blood boil.

"Okay let me see if I got this right. Someone from my pack, you don't know, called your alpha to form an ambush?"

"Yes, I tried to figure out who called but...well you can see what happened. Me and two others were punished." I knew that pain all too well.

"I'm sorry." She gave me a small smirk, "Do you know why your pack is ambushing mine?" 

"No, I don't. We were just given the order to kill Alpha Chris and your soon to be Alpha."

"I don't blame them for wanting to kill Kurt, that asshole." 

"Who's Kurt?" I looked at her confused, "Kurt is the Alphas son, the next in line."

"That's not our target."

"Then who is?"

"A man named Michael."

It felt like Sarah took the breath out of my lungs. Michael is the new Alpha, and the target. I don't know why but this angered me. Who would target alpha Chris and Michael? Ugh as much as I hate it, I have to save them.

I swear to the Gods and Goddess if they haven't given me this mission, I would leave them to rot. Well, everyone except Michael, only because he helped me and remembered my birthday.

"When will they attack?"

 "At eleven pm. By then Michael will be alpha and everyone will be too drunk to fight back. It was staged to be an easy wipeout."

I looked at my watch, it's seven-fifteen. The ceremony will begin soon, "Let's go."

"I can't!! They will catch my scent and know I'm a rouge, they'll kill me on the spot. Plus...I'm naked."

I chuckled, "Okay you're right. I will mask your scent and mend your clothes. When we get to my house you will go to my room. Under the loose floorboard, there is a laptop, I need you to try and locate a pack for me."

"Okay, which pack?"

"The Dawn pack." She froze as if Satan himself was standing behind me, "What?"

"The Dawn pack is the most powerful in this world. They are known for their connection with the Gods and Goddess. They pass judgment without a thought, and they kill any and all rouges who step on their territory. But their territory is a secret, no one knows where to find them."

"Looks like you have your job cut out for you then. Because once I save the pack, we're going to find them."

"But-"

"Look Sarah, I was given this task by some very important people. I have to find them. Now be still."

She did as told, I focused on masking her scent and clothing her. My hands were glowing purple, I wave my hands over her and she was clothed. I dressed her in a beautiful short red dress, with red bottom heels. Her hair was now straight and smooth, and her make-up was a natural beat. I didn't know if she liked make-up or not.

She stood up and admired her new attire, "I took the liberty of healing your wounds." She rubbed her arms and legs; she was no longer bruised and in pain. Her smile was so wide I couldn't see her cheeks anymore. She hugged me so tight. I was shocked at first, but I hugged her back.

I waved my hand and two masks appeared. One was a scarlet red with black jewels on the ends. The other was a light blue mask with glitter accents. I gave Sarah the red one.

"Put it on, I don't want anyone to recognize me, and I don't want anyone getting suspicious. Luckily the ceremony is masquerade themed."

She slipped hers on and I did the same, I looked at my watch it was now seven-thirty.

"Come on, it's a twenty-minute walk back."

We started walking but I noticed Sarah looked at the two wolves who lied there dead. I still don't know how they died; I didn't touch them.

"Hey, Sarah?"

"Yeah?"

"How did they die; I didn't touch them."

She hesitated but told me, "Your blood...it's poisonous. When they bit you, they started ingesting your blood. I knew something was wrong when they started to cough up smoke. Your blood set their insides on fire."

"Interesting. Come on, I have to cook for the ceremony."

We ran to my pack house, I'm a little nervous but I have to save Michael. I don't know why but I have too.
