Chapter 30: Member of the pack

The werewolves never thought that the vampires would come after me and it's even more shocking that they somehow know that I have magic. They are shocked while I'm concerned about a lot of things and one of them is the fact that I'm wanted by the vampires. I'm also wondering how they found out about my magic. Vale is certain that no vampire can hide amongst werewolves which means someone who is not a vampire told the vampires about it. They are not saying it but I know what they are thinking, that 'someone' must be one of the pack members.

It's hard to read Vale's face but I know he feels nothing but anger that a member of his pack is working for an enemy. Heck it's possible that more than one person is working for the vampires. I just hope that this doesn't make him doubt himself because now is a great time for him to prove that he is a great leader by catching whoever is working for the vampires. This is his mess, it happened under his nose and my poor life is on the line so he better fix this quickly.

Zik continued to explain how even though he was fighting four vampires he made sure to observe my fight against Zara. I was struggling against that guy but he who faced four vampires actually had the time to observe me. Although I'll never admit it out loud I really envy their strength and speed, it's ridiculously unfair how it took the vampire only three kicks to break my ribs.

While being kicked by the vampire Zik was worried that I might end up dying if he doesn't do something. Unfortunately for me the four vampires didn't give him a chance. He seriously thought I had died when seeing me receive the Vampire's merciless kicks with a calm and peaceful expression on my face. The vampire had yet to have enough but its next kick never touched me. His leg that was all bloody was blocked by a green magical shield that protected my whole body. It was my ugly bracelet that emitted foreign power making him guess that the shield must've been the bracelet's doing. Of course that wasn't all, he said he was confused but he was also glad that my body was protected. Yes it looked like i was dead but he'd at least want my body to be buried not looking too disfigured.

The vampire wouldn't give up that easily and he got afraid that Zara's kicks and punches would eventually break the shield. Luckily Vale and the other pack members arrived quickly and because they outnumbered the vampires they scared them away. Even after the vampires retreated the shield wouldn't go down but then they noticed something. My wounds and all my injuries were slowly healing, it was a far more beautiful process than a healing potion. I wasn't just being healed I was being improved and after the green shield disappeared I looked better than I ever was before. In fact to them I felt different, it was as though my energy went through a tremendous transformation and since they are grown men I don't think they have the time to lie or exaggerate so I'll have to believe them.

It's a lot actually, it's a lot to process because they're saying the bracelet is the one that protected and healed me. Then was I dreaming when my reflection was talking to me or was that really an important message. I can still remember what that mysteriously powerful voice said to me about how I shouldn't be a coward and run. It means she knows that I want to escape and she's telling me to not escape? I've never cared what fate says! And what is this nonsense of great power and responsibility like I'm expected to make some difference in this world. I'm no hero and I certainly don't want to be seen as one. Heroes are like saints and I'd never want to be perceived as one.

I have a lot of questions, emotions, thoughts and theories but right now is not the time or else my head might explode. They were curious about my bracelet but I didn't dare explain anything about it, they can assume whatever they want I don't care.

The way back was quiet and it helped because I was able to clear my mind while staring out the window to enjoy the scenery. I thought that the peace amongst the pack members will be disturbed when they find out that someone is working for the vampires but that never happened. Well maybe it's because their stupid leader decided against telling them what happened to me and Zik, we were to pretend that nothing happened. Of course I couldn't refuse the person who bought me all those beautiful clothes I picked at the mall. I just hope he has a plan and when you really think about it telling everyone that there's someone working for the vampires will just alert the actual rat.

I can't help but feel like I'm a fool to actually think that such a small bracelet would stop an actual vampire lord from coming after me. He's gonna continue to send more vampires after me, the more reason why it's important I grow in terms of magic because that's the only way I can protect myself.

I don't want to think too much about my encounter with the 'voice', I want to focus on the goals I set for myself. The rest shall rest, I have too much to do. There were only three days left until Vale leads us out to battle the monsters and the pack members that were sent to look for the ingredients I listed had returned. They were able to find the ingredients and since there were only three days left till we head out I didn't waste time and began making potions that would surely surprise Vale and his pack. The potions will not be the only thing that'll surprise them because I plan to go all out on those monsters. The endless monsters will help me grow stronger and I'll gain more experience. I only pray for the vampires to not appear as we can't deal with two enemies at the same time.
