The whole town was destroyed, some of the houses were on fire, the street lights were bent and broken down. Most of the cars were shattered and crushed beneath chunks of masonry the size of table tops, lay covered in a fine white dust. Houses had been sheared in half. In the parts still standing, furniture, shelves of food and chandeliers were exposed to view.

Most of the infrastructure were collapsed, there was dust and rubble everywhere. What happened here? Cold lifeless body were all over the street. Some were asking for help and some were on the verge of dying. The sky was dark with red clouds and thunderstorms. The people with possibilities of being alive were taken in by the ambulance. Where is my dad? I started running with my trembling legs towards my house. I was shocked, my house was collapsed. I was loosing my mind. Dad! I started to dig out the place. I saw a hand protruding out. No! tears start to roll down my cheeks. It can't be.

I held his cold body in my arms. "He is not breathing" I said under my breath. It's my fault, I couldn't save him. No! Don't leave me! The thunderstorms grew louder. It started to rain but looked odd. I extend my hand to catch some raindrops. The rain was red. I looked up, the sky is bleeding.

"Hey, you awake?" I heard a faint voice. As soon as I open my eyes, I saw Theo standing in front of me. I was sleeping? It's a nightmare, again. the nightmares are getting worst. bloody rain? that's disturbing. The whole town was destroyed, was it because of me? No, it's just a dream. It cannot be real. I was still inside the car. Maybe we reached our location.

"Hmmm" I said. I open the door and get out of the car. I was amazed by the sight, we were surrounded by huge trees and beautiful wild flowers with a house, stood in the middle. The house was old and cracked. The main body of the house was a rectangle, but added on were curved portions that looked like towers with grey peaked roof tops. The outside of the old house was covered in a kind of tile that had been ripped away in places to expose the wooden skeleton beneath and part of the roof had also been torn off. Many of the windows were boarded up. The mist was less thick at this time. There was also a broken swing in front of the house, which was swinging due to the wind. The feeling altogether was creepy.

"Is it save to go inside?" I ask to Theo. The place gave me a bad vibe. Theo's face was emotionless as always. His face is difficult to read. I wonder, how the witch would look like? Will she be scary and hideous with knotted hair?

"Don't worry, I'll protect you" Theo said. We started walking towards the house. There was no doorbell. Theo knock on the door. The door opened, a little girl peak out, from behind the door. She had hazel eyes and a sweet smile forming on her lips. She had dirty blonde hair, falling on her shoulders.

"You must be lost, come in" said the girl with a mischievous laugh. Her laugh echoed through the place and she disappeared into the darkness.

"She is cute" I said. I was entering the house when Theodore stopped me.

"It's not a kid. Zakira it's enough, now come out to play" said Theo. How did he know that, it's Zakira? Is that even possible to turn yourself into a kid?
Maybe it is possible with black magic.

"What you want me to play? Christina Aguilera or Britney Spears?" I turn my gaze to saw a women with long purple hair and hazel eyes. She looked in her twenties. I thought she is old and ancient but she was a beautiful young lady. Maybe she is still hiding her real face.

"What a alpha is doing here?" Zakira asked. I hope she doesn't cast some spell on us, for coming here without her permission.

"We need your help" said Theo. The temperature fall, it was cold. I want be out of here before dark. The crows started cawing at us, there were lots of crows which looked weird. All of the crows had red eyes.

"My friends are sensing something evil, it's not because of you right?" Said Zakira looking at me. Evil? Me? Her face turn from happy to anger. I feel like I have done something wrong. I step back.

"Zakira! She is the hybrid of Fenrisúlfr. We need a way to reverse the curse" said Theo. Zakira look shocked. Is it that bad?

"Leave. I cannot help you. You two must be fool. The curse was given by a very powerful witch, it's not possible to reverse it" said Zakira with a serious look. Nothing is impossible, there is always a way out. Everything has imperfections.

"She is different, she has a mate. Hybrids don't have mate" said Theo. She look like she don't care at all.

"That doesn't change the fact that she is dangerous and cursed. Now leave before I kill you" said Zakira with a devious smile. She was walking away.

"Wait, there has to be a way. I am not going to kill my dad. Don't you care for someone? Would you kill them against your will?" I said confidently. She stopped on her way and turn her gaze towards us. She looked at me with disbelief. Zakira closed her eyes and remain silent for some times. What is she doing? I nudge Theodore.

"Little bit explanation please" I asked.

"I guess, the spirits are talking to her" he said with a low voice. I don't know what's more creepy, Zakira or the spirits? Either way I hate this place.

"By now you should have lost your humanity, I am impressed. Maybe you are different" said Zakira, opening her eyes. Lost my humanity? I thought I would loose it after my transformation not before that. I am loosing my mind not humanity, that's for sure.

"Now don't stand there, come in" said Zakira, very sweetly. I share a glance with Theo, then we followed her inside the house. This is terrible.
