Chapter Thirteen.
Esme’s point of view.
“ Elvis please I am begging you don’t do this. I will be your Luna , I will behave …I won’t try to run away no more please just have mercy on her. Let her go she had nothing to do with all of this …please just let her go,”
I have never felt so helpless in my whole life .I begged him to stop ,I apologized and cried out to him but all of that fell upon deaf ears as his eyes said it all…he was not going to show any mercy , not to me and definitely not to Gran.
I tried hitting him and pushing him off her but my efforts did not even seem to phase him as he pushed me off of him with just one shove from one paw.
“Do not put your filthy paws on my Gran daughter! How dare you,”
A wave of energy radiated off her body and flung the wolf into the ground with the snapping sound of bone breaking hitting the air. Grans eyes were now a deep dark red as her nose flared up with anger and raw power radiated off of her body in bulks. The line of blood going down the corner of her lip just added to her don’t mess with me ,pissed off ,bad bi*ch energy and I was here for all of it.
The deep ,ground shaking , pain filled growl that left Alpha Stone's lips loudly rang off the entire Forrest and bounced off the trees and bushes…I just knew his pack heated him and probably were on their way to aid their alphas .
Just as expected the multiple werewolf growls rang off in the far off distance one after the other as they probably made their way over here to try and protect their alpha from the big bad witch…talk about pathetic.
“Get the hell out of here Esmeralda run!!! I can handle him just leave before the rest of them get here,”
I heard her but I just could not bring myself to leave her nor did I even want to. Alpha Elvis was off the floor and on his feet looking every bit of pissed off. Running was definitely not an option. I thought he was angry before but this was a whole other type of anger…it was blood lust .
He looked just about ready to skin her alive and feast upon her flesh but gran did not back down . Her hands went into her hair and roughly placed it in a messy ponytail with the silver elastic bracelet that’s always on her wrist. She looked fierce and ready for war .
For a moment I almost felt sorry for Alpha Stone because he has no idea what he was getting himself into…key word being almost.
Hit after hit the two were becoming more rough and ruthless . Hand to hand combat was like an elegant dance to gran and she made sure to give Elvis all that she got .
*Right …right …left hook*
Alpha Elvis was holding his own and fighting back with wild savagery but gran refused to back down. She was a fighter and overall just stubborn…she would never back down without a fight.
*Kick…dodge…punch…right hook…magic shove*
The intensity of watching the whole thing was unlike any other. At some point I had just stopped breathing entirely just trying to keep up with the scene unraveling right before my eyes.
*right hook …dodge…knee in the groin …kick .. dodge*
I wanted to go separate them ,join the fight ,punch him …just something but I couldn’t. I was in a deep trance just locked in on the fight and encapsulated by it unable to function. I couldn’t move nor even shout …just a zombie trapped in my own body watching everything unfold unable to interject or throw myself in the line of fire.
*Blast …growl …punch …snarl… claw…kick …blast…snarl…cut…kick …claw …blast …dodge*
I could tell just by how they were both moving that they were already exhausted but they refused to tap out. It was not an easy task for one to hold their own whilst fighting against an alpha wolf especially when they were in their werewolf form and not being a werewolf too did not make things any easier. I was more than proud of gran holding her own against him and wearing him down but I knew that it was taking a lot out of her .
Offensive magic drained up energy faster than defensive magic and gran knew it which is why she was using it sparingly . We both knew that she could not carry on fighting for much longer …she was spread out too thin. The protective barrier around the pack was still up and draining her magic whilst she was also using a spell to keep me away from the fighting.
I could feel her magic depleting more and more by the second as her movements lost the strength , control and power they had not so long ago. Fighting another supernatural being took up a lot of magic and I could tell that the fight was draining her of everything that she had but her stubbornness would not allow her to give up or stop fighting.
A magical orb of toxic ,green, flesh burning radiation was thrown right from grans palms to alpha Elvis’s way . He tried to dodge the magical radiation attack but he was too slow for Gran magic and the attack was too strong thus it scraped by his right hind leg as a loud growl of anguish rippled through his chest and into the atmosphere.
I wanted to stop the whole thing but I couldn’t… My body was magically trapped in place by some sort of strong force .I fell upon the floor as gravity pulled at me stronger and harder the more I struggled against its hold.
There was no way she could have still been conscious after using such strong and powerful magic but somehow she was. It took me a while to figure out what the hell was going on…she was using black magic.
I couldn’t let her do this to herself…I struggled to free myself…I tried to fight against the binding spell that kept me useless and trapped on the forest ground but it was of no use. I screamed for her to stop but she didn’t listen…
I begged her ,I pleaded for her ,I cried for her to stop but the evil aura that surrounded her was beyond reproach … it was too late, darkness had already consumed her. I could tell that Alpha Stone was beyond exhausted and severely injured yet he still threw attacks and tried clawing at gran.
At this point it was a fight of ego and stubbornness as both of them refused to back down. A few witches were able to practice dark magic without reaching the extent of being completely consumed by it and my grandmother was unfortunately not one of those witches.
“*σφοδρή επίθεση!* (Onslaught!),”
The Greek fierce and destructive magically spellbound word left Grans lips in a barely audible sadistic but hopeless whisper and that was it …. The very moment that the spell was casted and
“* σφοδρή επίθεση*’’
echoed through the air was and forever will be the moment that my whole world changed forever. I swear the earth stopped moving…everything went silent and my screams were all that could be heard . A large black sword with
* σφοδρή επίθεση* engraved on it appeared out of thin air.
The matt black sword shone and glimmered with red just glistening with an aura of darkness. My heart was frozen still as my eyes watched Alpha Stone's blood drip from the sword that was now decoratively logged from one side of his wolf to the other.
She was gone…the evil had fully consumed her and the consequences of using dark magic ate at her from the inside out. She fell into her knees in what seemed like slow motion and looked at me with utter pain and anguish perfectly displayed on her darkened red eyes with blood streaming down the corners.
Loud growls were heard throughout the whole pack as their alpha fell into the ground with a loud thud…lifeless. It was like the sword was draining all of his life force and using it to fuel its darkness.
The spell keeping me bound was now broken allowing me to run over to my Grans side. I could tell that she was in immense pain and anguish…not only did she use black magic but she used it to take a life. I wrapped her arm around my shoulder and hoisted her up to her feet. I could tell that moving her brought her pain but I had no other choice.
She had just taken down the alpha…practically drained the man’s life right out of his body. It was definitely not going to be a pretty sight if all of those angry wolves found us still in the territory much worse standing near their alphas nearly dead body.
I froze in my position and braced myself. She was so fast I barely had time to adjust to her arrival as she appeared out of nowhere . I knew I was screwed the very moment that my eyes met hers. Beta Elisa and Alpha Stone's sister was now standing right infront of me .... Fu*k!
Just when I thought things couldn't possibly get any worse they surprise me .
Fu*k my life.
