Chapter 3 Lost

ᴄʜᴀɴᴄᴇ ʟᴀɴᴅ Early morning,Caroline called everyone out and informed them about their neighbour's invites. The family living next door invited them to a wedding since they are also new in town and the Forbes are their only neighbour. "Come on it's a day trip and we gonna return that same day" Carol said in a pleasing tone. "I'm not happy about this, humans are not trustworthy" trailing off his words, a quick flash of his painful memories came to him. "I'm not going mom" Black said sternly. (Black is just a young Vampire with lots of painful memories,and out of em all is his hatred for humans when he trued befriending them but they turned back on him and sold him out after knowing who he was. Thanks to his family who never stopped being there for him and all these painful experiences turned his heart to that of a stone.) "Me too" Viko said. "Husband don't you get it? We've been here for two years yet no friends and our social part is zero. That is enough for people to suspect us. Remember your words "if you are in Rome, behave like Romans" "But this is not Rome" Morgan said teasinly. "You know what I'm saying stop teasing me" " Okay okay as you wish" "Dad!" Black groaned. "We are going that's final" ɴɪɢʜᴛ ᴀᴛ ʟᴏʀɪɴᴀ Troy's pack are standing by the halter and Alarik's pack as well. Akira was dressed in an ancient wedding dress with a crown made of tiger's skin. She is looking so pretty and full of grace but sad. Alarik went to her and tied a chain round her neck. "Wedding gift... Are you kidding me?" Akira said broken-hearted. "No, it will protect you" "From what?" "From other Wolves out there. It will conceal your identity as a werewolf" Akira hugged her father sobbing because she knows her father is finally sending her to the society. " Thank you Father... I'll be expecting you" Then they heard gunshots being fired and people screaming. The invaders are very fast and their eyeballs are red. "Oh no... Hunters" Alarik said. "What? Those foolish humans again?" "No they look like vampires" "What? How's that possible?" "Akira,they are not the group that do attack us I think they are here to hunt us down" " No matter what dont come out okay?" "No but i can help" Akira said in protest" " Trust me okay?" Alarik asked Akira to stay inside and he went out to join the fight. Rain of silver bullets penetrates their huts and scary growls filled the atmosphere. The vampires attacked them with their weapons but later switched to combat. One Vampire sank his teeth on Troy's arm and he got old of him punching him severely before ripping his head off. He growled and changed to his wolf form. The vampires are winning but Troy, Alarik and Vera didn't relent. Mr.Bennet came out of the dark part of the forest and he stabbed one of them. The female werewolf shrieked and the wounded part start burning and emmiting blue flame. Mr.Bennet removed the sword and cut her into two. The werewolves saw this and they stopped the fight looking so confused and scared. "How is that possible?" They thought. Mr.Bennet raised the sword up and wiped the blood off it. "You are all surprised? Well it's time for you all to go extinct" Troy command all of them to run and they started scampering around. The vampires chased everyone and sprinkled mistletoe on their house before setting it on fire. Akira is still inside and the smoke was suffocating her. She starts coughing and tried to get out but couldn't because Alarik blocked the entrance. She saw her people being killed brutally and some werewolves fleeing. She screamed when she saw her aunt(Vera) got killed by the leader of the vampire. "Aunt!" She screamed and climbed the roof. She destroyed the roofing materials with her claws and she jumped down pouncing on a vampire. She thrust her sharp claws into his neck and bite his ear off. The vampire flung her away looking so angry. Akira growled fearlessly as blood drips down her mouth. The vampire sped to her and hold her neck lifting her up from the ground. She starts kicking the air because she's no more standing on her feet. Alarik came over and knocked the vampire down "Akira" "Father" She coughed out and her father helped her up. "You must leave " "But Father... Aunt Vera... " she hesitated but when the bitter truth surfaced to her, she burst into tears... "She's dead... Father I can't leave you all alone" " I'll be okay remember what I told you? Whenever you are sad or lost just howl at the sky I'll find you" "Father please" she said pleadingly. "Akira you've got to survive okay?" Akira wiped her tears and ran away from their base but while running, an arrow hit her. Mr.Bennet tried to follow her but Alarik jumped to his front and made an attack. Another group of vampires followed her. Akira keep running and the vampires didn't stop following her as well,she's bleeding and the silver mouth of the arrow is affecting her badly,seems it was coated with something dangerous. They are using their speed but Akira is very fast as well. She keep jumping from one branch to the other,she's damn fast. Unfortunately, she got to the dead end. There's a cliff and down below is a running water. She halted and turned back only to see the glowing eyes of the vampires. It's very dark to see each other's face but they were able to recognise themselves with their eye color. Akira is panting heavily and looking at the ocean below, she glanced back at the vampires. The lady vampire loaded her gun with silver bullets and point It at her When she saw the gun, she knew it's not anything good so she decided to jump. She turned swiftly to make a jump but the female vampire sped up to her and clawed her neck while trying to pull her close. She slipped from her grip and fell into the ocean. Unfortunately she hit her head on a rock. The vampires tread downhill to search for her but when they didn't see any traces of her,they returned back to the camp. Its 6:00 in the morning. The forbes are returning back to chance land from the wedding. Viko and Black are awake looking so evil and angry. "Gosh you scared me... Both of you look scary" "You said it's only a day trip" Viko said. Caroline:You enjoyed yourself anyway so case closed. "I can't believe this... I'm very hungry right now" Black said. "Oh what to do? You've finished the blood banks I packed for you guys" Carol said. "Can we stop for a while to hunt?" Viko proposed. "No never. What if you get into trouble"Morgan said. ʀᴏᴀᴅsɪᴅᴇ Akira opened her eyes weakly and her breathing is faint. Her brain is messed up and seems she didn't remember anything considering she hit her head on a rock but she healed pretty fast. She noticed her hand bleeding,also with broken arrow on her back so she removed it after great difficulty and the silver bullet with her sharp claws. "I'm a werewolf?" Where is Father? Only her childhood memories was left with her and she believed she probably got lost. She tried to stand up but she's weak. She could hear distant sounds. Sounds of birds chirping, bee buzzing and car approaching. Then she heard people chattering. She staggered to the road barefooted. She didn't know what the road is for, she thought it's a special painted floor for people to have fun. Her father never allowed her to go out of the forest. She heard fast approaching sound and when she turned back to look at it, it's a car coming so fast at her. She was shocked and couldn't move. Viko and Black were arguing with their Mother and she was not looking at the road. " Carol look out!" Morgan warned. She saw a young girl standing on the way and she got scared considering itwas so sudden. Morgan swerved the car away to the other side and Akira passed out with the shock of it. Everywhere went silent and Caroline was trying to catch her breath. Black raised his head up. "Stupid humans" said Black. The family came down from the car but maintained their distance. "Oh no...its a young girl" Caroline said forlonly. "Is she dead?" Black asked uninterested. "That's good if she's dead, we can as well drain her blood and dump her body" Viko said. ":Shut up Vik" Mrs.Forbes moved closer to Akira lying unconscious on the floor due to shock. "Oh my goodness she's a girl of your age" "Of our age you mean 70 right? Mom stop this human shit and let's go" Black retorted. Caroline knelt beside her and touched her face. Her dry face and perched lips melted her heart to mild and she smiled at her. "Wife what's wrong?"Morgan questioned. "I don't know what it is but i feel like I'm drawn to her,.something in me likes her" she said. "Just hundred of years and you are behaving human already" Morgan said. "Seriously?Mom!" Black whined.
