Chapter 20: Roseanne

(A.N- hi I'm sorry for disturbing your book, I just wanted to warn you about my imagination that tends to go too far, I'm a person who loves action so this book will have a lot of it. It's not perfect and I just hope you enjoy it)

They were pitch black in colour, although different in sizes they all had long arms that went past their knees and had a sharp pointy blade as their hands. Their skin looked almost impenetrable, their faces were filled with more than 15 eyes, although some had sharper and larger teeth than the others they all had terrifyingly razor sharp teeth. The werewolf's teeth looked like child's play when compared to theirs. Exactly how am I supposed to be careful against that. Now I know why they didn't bother giving me a weapon because it'll still be useless.

'okay Era I'm gonna drop you here, this is a safe distance and don't worry no monster will go past me but in case they do don't hesitate to run'

He then took off with unrestrained speed leaving my back feeling cold as my mind kept replaying what he said. He shouldn't have said the last nine words. The monsters had noticed the incoming werewolves and each monster released a terrifying roar from their hideous mouths. The monsters rushed forward for the confrontation with their long arms ready to slice whatever stood in their way. I was dumbfounded by how agile and swift the werewolves were as each faced more than five monsters at a time. They monsters were attacking wildly while the werewolves although were in their fours knew where to strike and they did it fast. This just reminded me that they aren't just mindless beasts. I was more amazed by Roseanne, she held a white bow that was too big for her figure and kept on releasing white arrows made out of light.

Once a monster gets hit by one of her arrows it explodes and some mysterious light returns to her. She was fast and would rarely miss but of course the monsters were too many, it's good that Vale was merciless to those that sneak up on her. He was the one killing them with ease and I felt myself begin to calm down. They are actually doing it but how can I say that when it has just been a few minutes. As time stretched and the monsters had lost some of their comrades but it still didn't change that fact that there were still more of them than the werewolves. Sure the werewolves were killing many but they were getting more injuries making it easier for the remaining monsters.

I noticed the pattern of struggling from not just their injuries, the monsters have poison on their skin and blood. So when they kill one, blood comes out and not to mention they use their claws and teeth to fight. When it looked like they were being pushed back Roseanne finally decided to use her wings to fly above the battlefield. Her mouth began to move and after a minute a much bigger arrow than her normal arrows materialized. The werewolves retreated as she released the arrow towards the monsters. It exploded taking out a larger number of them, this helped the werewolves as not many were left after that. Her feet returned to the ground as the beautiful wings disappeared and her hair and eyes went back to normal. Vale was quick to take her away from the ongoing battle, indeed Vale's words were accurate. It's 'unexpected' and very impressive actually, I really had to see this for myself because if someone had told me this is what she can do I wouldn't have believed it.

It didn't take long for the werewolves to finish what was left of the monsters and when the last one was killed victorious howls followed. I winced when seeing Zik's body that was filled with woundes yet he still looked strong and moved as though he felt no pain. You have to admire their strength, bravery and determination. All for what they call their home, I admire them a little for that. I wonder what it would feel like once I find my own home, will it be safe from what I've seen today. I looked at Roseanne who was dealing with exhaustion, she was also happy about their victory. How can a girl with such power think that she can't survive on her own, did she stay willingly or maybe Vale promised her something?. I truly don't believe that she'd stay to help just because she likes it there, no matter how comfortable the place is she must wish to find a place where there are others like her. A place where she can belong amongst people who understand her.

I'm not saying that's what I'm looking for but a person like her definitely has those wishes. People like her believe in the peace of surrounding yourself with others like yourself.

'see I told you that there was nothing to worry about'

I heard Zik laugh and I couldn't help but wonder how a person in his state can laugh. Just when I thought there would be no more surprises, Vale's neck glowed and when squinting my eyes to see the cause, it was actually his silver necklace. I always wondered if he had many silver necklaces that all looked the same because he always has a necklace before and after he shifts. I now know the thing never breaks, his werewolf neck is way bigger than his neck when in human form so this must be a magic item. Similar to how my ugly bracelet works two wooden boxes that were filled with came out of the necklace.

They were filled with my beautiful potions, after a few minutes of looking away as the werewolves had to shift back to their human forms in order to take the potions. After wearing something to cover their lower bodies I quickly began the distribution of potions...

The night made the place look more eerie as there were multiple bodies of dead monsters nearby. The scary clouds still covered the sky making the place feel cold. They started burning the monsters and it helped in subsiding the cold. There were no tents and so I had to sleep on Zik in his were wolf form while Roseanne slept on Vale. I noticed Maya who was trying really hard to stay composed at the sight of Roseanne sleeping on Vale. It was quite funny actually and it helped ignore the uncomfortable feeling in my chest.
