Chapter 19: Entice me

Where do they come from and why are they harming nature? Such an existence isn't part of nature , so could it be that they were created by someone but who would create something whose sole purpose was to kill the world. It just doesn't make sense. I just hope by the time these monsters get near the Silver pack I'm long gone, I am no hero and what exactly can a halfbreed like me do?

'Are you okay?'

Zik asked and I did nothing but nod absent mindedly.

'you don't have to be afraid, you're not going to be the one to fight them. I'll make sure you're protected'

Yes I hope so too Zik, I hope I won't have to be in a situation where I'll have to protect myself.

'plus with the help of your potions we can actually do this, they'll never get to our home'

Their home?, I couldn't help but wonder what will happen when I'm gone. Who will make them potions? Will they go back to the low quality and poisonous potions? Sigh I'm doing it again. I shouldn't worry about them, they are undeserving of my guilt and they were never my responsibility to begin with. They'll be fine and even if they won't be fine it still wouldn't be my problem.

My eyes settled on Vale's large werewolf form and I was confused by what I was seeing. Roseanne had her eyes closed as though she was meditating and her lips were moving but I couldn't hear because of the distance. She looked really serious so of course I'll be curious. Is what she's doing an angel thing to do, do angels chant when they activate whatever angel things they can do.

'Vale just told us to rest for a few minutes while we wait for Roseanne to finish preparing'

Preparing? "Preparing for what?"

'you'll see'

The mysteriousness is exhausting at this point, why can't they just tell me already. I will admit that I am very eager to see the 'unexpected' that Vale spoke so highly about, I wanna see wings okay!

I got off Zik so that I can look around to pass the time. I aimlessly walked around and found myself entering the barn where there was a beautiful majestic black horse that lay lifeless on the ground. It was a sad sight to see. This animal was innocent and powerless to whatever was happening. It probably didn't know what was happening.

' it's not just us who are affected. Innocent animals and people are also affected. Sadly unlike us they're powerless and defenseless so when killing each monster it's not only us who benefits, it's not only our home that is saved '

"And why are you telling me this exactly? I'm already making potions for you so what more do you want?"

This speech of his isn't moving me at all especially when knowing the type of person he is. I wonder if he really believes he is fair like the others say he is. Is that what he uses to sleep at night. Convincing us that he forcefully brought us to the pack to not just benefit the pack, telling us we wouldn't survive out there and that kidnapping us was actually doing us a favor? What kind of messed up fairness is that?

'Because I know there's more to you than just potions. Call it cliche but I just know that you can help all of us, me, Olivia, Roseanne...Era please you can help us!'

"I'm already doing it and I'm sorry but that's all there is of me. I.am.not.special. and-" I wasn't able to finish my sentence when a yellow light suddenly entered the barn I quickly rushed outside since that's where the light was coming from. Atop Vale who we had just been in a serious conversation in my head was Roseanne. The blinding yellowish was coming from her. It was warm, not against my skin and I can't really explain it.

After a few seconds the light slowly disappeared leaving Roseanne who now had big white wings on her back. Her hair and her eyes had changed to white making her look like she didn't belong to this dirty world of ours. It didn't help that Vale was both a beautiful yet dangerous silver werewolf and together they just looked like it they're meant to be. That realization made me feel some type of way and it wasn't at all pleasant.

So that's how an angel look like, if a half angel looks like that then what would a full angel look like. I'll admit that it's impressive and I can feel some sort of power from her. it isn't aggressive but peaceful and calming instead, even I felt the anger I had from the conversation with Vale dissipate. Unfortunately it disgusted me, this feeling of hollyness I wasn't enjoying it.

' Roseanne is done with her transformation

which means we're ready to face the monsters and Era... I know I promised to protect you which I'm still going to do but you must also be careful'

I nodded and hopped on Zik as I prepared my mind for the worst, I didn't fail to notice how even in their werewolf forms they looked at Roseanne with admiration. I shook my head as I finally realized why I'm here, it wasn't to just see what Roseanne can do. Vale thought if I saw how everyone looks at Roseanne with admiration and trusts I'd also want that for myself. Which is ridiculous. I've lived with a bunch of witches that thought I was nothing but a waste of food, I was just a magic-less servant and even if the queen hadn't ordered me to never show my magic I still wouldn't have revealed it. Glory, admiration, trust from others and people relying on me aren't things I desire.

He really thought that this would be enticing for me. They took off with Vale leading them and this time it wasn't so bad, I had my eyes open as I had to see the said to be dangerous monsters. I really wished I had my eyes closed because the sight was far different from what I prepared myself for. The land, even the air reeked of death, the Vale of dark clouds in the sky were a clear warning of what we were approaching.

I wondered if Vale was stupid with the amount of werewolves he brought, there were like a hundred of them. All in different forms and sizes making me regret agreeing to come because what the hell is this!
