CHAPTER 132: DEAR MOTHER

A cold silence filled the atmosphere as both groups had a face-off. Olexa and Prince Tristan's coalition stood fiercely, as they glared at the tattered-looking individuals who seemed not to be themselves.

Prince Tristan heard what Olexa said and was shocked. He turned and looked at Olexa, seeing how emotional she got at the sight of the woman she called mother.

"Tristan, that's my mother there," she said to Prince Tristan, with teary eyes. Prince Tristan sulked, looking at his uncle and the General, not knowing what to say.

"What did you do to my mother?! What did you do to her?" Olexa yelled angrily.

General Klaus got down from his horse and walked through the army of the hybrids, and stood beside Olexa's mother.

"Dear Jasmine was just a means to an end. A very important means," General Klaus chuckled, making Olexa's rage blaze hotter within her.

"You know, we've had our eyes on you for a while, watching to see if you'd exhibit the same qualities as your mother exhibited when she was your age. But, it seems like you didn't inherit your mother's True Blood genes," he said further.

The people were surprised to hear what they were hearing. Mona and Tully looked at each other, as it finally now made sense to them why Olexa exhibited such a level of strength on the night she went bonkers.

They knew General Klaus was wrong with his postulation though, as emotional hurt was the trigger to her tapping into the dormant True Blood nature within her.

"You monster! You'll pay for what you did to her!" Olexa yelled.

"Kill them all, and get me the Prince alive, if you can," General Klaus said to Jasmine, and walked back through the hybrids, and got on his horse.

More soldiers of The Legion got came from behind the valley and stood around the King and General.

With a cold look, Jasmine took a few steps forward and snarled. The rest of the hybrids began snarling also.

"Brace yourselves, people!" Mona said. They all made their hearts and minds ready.

Jasmine roared even in her untransformed state, sounding as though she had fully transformed. The rest of the hybrids then transformed having bloodshot eyes. She then roared again, and they charged at Olexa and her people.

"Get ready!" Mona shouted as the hybrids ran furiously at them.

"Come on, get closer you monsters," Mona whispered to herself.

"Now!" Mona declared as they got within range. Everyone got down and arrows were fired from giant carted crossbows.

It took the hybrids down, but Jasmine simply shifted, evading the ones that got to her. Olexa was a bit afraid that her mother would be hurt from the attack, but sighed in relief when she wasn't.

The people shouted happily, grateful for the victory. But as they rejoiced, Jasmine roared again, and the hybrids got up with the arrows in them. They pulled them out of their bodies and their wounds healed, way faster than the average werewolf.

"Oh crap," Mona mumbled.

This time, Jasmine roared, and ran forward herself, as the hybrids roared also and launched at the people.

"Charge!" Prince Tristan shouted as he and Olexa began running forward, and the people shouted running forward as well.

Olexa was full of rage and she transformed partially with her claws extended and her eyes turned blue like that of her mother.

As both sides collided, Olexa skillfully ripped off the head of one of the hybrids, just as the Prince slew one with his sword, and it fell dead.

General Klaus was surprised to see what the Prince and Olexa did. It made him furrow his brow. The King was also perplexed.

It was a heated battle, and the hybrids had the upper hand as they were superior in strength and speed. But Olexa and the Prince seemed to be doing quite well against the hybrids.

A hybrid attacked Olexa swinging its hand at her, but she caught hold of it. It swung the second hand and she caught it too, immobilizing it. Then Prince Tristan swung his sword, cutting off its head.

He swung his sword without looking, to attack another he sensed behind him, but then, his sword was withheld. Looking to see who withheld his sword, he saw it was Olexa's mother.

He struggled to break free from her grip, but she was immovable. She looked at him coldly, and gave him a punch, sending him flying in the air, ten feet away.

Jasmine calmly walked through the battlefield, taking out everyone who was in her way, like they were just stubble.

Tully attacked her and she gave him quite the beating, grabbing him by the neck. Mona saw it from a distance and fired an arrow at her, but she caught the arrow with her hand.

Jasmine turned and glared at Mona. But Mona wasn't scared, she fired more arrows at her as she charged towards her. Jasmine caught or deflected the arrows like they were nothing.

Approaching her, Mona drew her twin blades and attacked Jasmine, but the blades broke as though they were glass upon impact with her hand. Mona was shocked. Jasmine then grabbed her by the neck also, squeezing the life out of her.

Tully kicked and scratched in an attempt to break free and help Mona, but it was of no use. With tears in his eyes, he watched the life in Mona slowly slip away.

With tears in her eyes also, she stretched her hand, reaching for him. She just wanted to touch him one last time.

As he stretched to take her hand, they all suddenly fell to the ground. Both of them coughed, gasping for breath.

Jasmine fell to the ground and slowly stood up. She turned to see who tackled her. It was Olexa.

"Mother, it's me, Oly, your daughter. Remember me?" Olexa asked. Jasmine coldly stared at her, tilting her head.

"Mother, please remember me," Olexa begged with teary eyes. But her mother seemed to be beside herself.

Jasmine then charged at Olexa, but Olexa skillfully dodged her attacks. Eventually, Jasmine was able to land a hit on Olexa causing her to fall to the ground. Jasmine quickly rushed at Olexa, and tried thrusting her hand through her gut, but Olexa grabbed it hand, struggling to hold it back.

Jasmine pressed down until her claws began piercing through Olexa's skin. Olexa screamed out in pain.

As she kept struggling with her mother, the Prince then attacked Jasmine, injuring her with his sword. She left Olexa and attacked the Prince.

He fought her, but she was too fast and strong for him. Eventually, Jasmine thrusted her hand through his gut and drew out her bloodied hand.

"No!" Olexa yelled and ran towards the Prince. Her mother swung her hand at her, hitting her, causing her to land a few feet away.

By the time she got to her feet, a hybrid attacked her and she killed it viciously. Looking round, she saw that her mother had dragged the weakened and injured Prince to General Klaus, and The Legion had him in chains.

"Princess, we need to retreat. We're losing this battle. If we do not, we'll all die," Mr Thorne said grabbing her by the hand.

She turned and saw how the people were being slaughtered, and she also saw the love of her life in the custody of her enemies. She was torn, not knowing what to do.

She decided to run towards the man she loved. As she did, Jasmine rushed at her, tackling her. She gave Olexa a heavy punch in the face that disoriented her and left her there.

Mona and Tully grabbed Olexa as they retreated. As she was being taken away in her disoriented state, she could see Prince Tristan being dragged by The Legion, and then she fainted.

Jasmine called back the hybrids and stood watching them retreat.
