On The Run

*10*/Time

    It's been three years and We have grown so much. I created a better bond with my pack, My grandmother, My other halves and Carlos. He's like the father that I lost, A little while ago we couldn't have any time to ourselves to talk about what my father told me the night that he died.

                 ~~Flashback to 2 years ago~~

     It's been a whole a year and our pack has grown. Supernatural Travelers started to come to Livingston looking for refuge whether it was running from problems or just looking for a place to stay, I never picked into lives unless someone asked me to. It had been a whole year and a half and we had about 75 pack members. I was surprised that time was moving so quickly, but that's not saying I wasn't happy. Most of my pack members had found there mates and others were still looking.

          Brett and mizuki were expecting twins and Lucy and max are waiting a year to have kids because they want to travel and see the world first. They kept in touch and told us how Brazil was and how they found new pack members for us and I was beyond excited.

   I had claimed livingston and the woods surrounding it as my pack territory. I was growing and getting and It made my pack stronger. I guess you could call us a mixed cultured pack, we had witches,dragons, wolves, demons, angels you name it we had it. I was loving it, but that brought me back to what carlos said. It wasn't that much different from what grandmother told me but it had more detail. 

^^Later that day in my newly built office^^ 

I was just going over some paper work, about the new company we built from the bottom to the top like drake said ,when someone knocked on my door.

*Knock,Knock*

  "Come in," I said.

 I didn't have to look up to know who it was.

" Wassup Carlos ,what can I do for you today?" I asked.

When I didn't here a reply I finally looked up to see him openly staring at me. I was about to ask him what the matter was until I looked him in the eyes. What I saw was strange, in his eyes I saw a hint of admiration and a bunch of pride. When I was about to ask what's going on when he finally decided to speak.

   " You know your father would be so proud to see the strong and brave woman you've grown up to be," he said with a small smile.

    When he said that it made me want to cry. I know we haven't had a chance to speak about my father since the day we met. Even though I know I have been busy dealing with pack stuff I haven't forgotten about my dad, nor have I have ignored the fact that My pack is going to always be under attack, with me being their Alpha and a target they will always be in danger. That is why I trained my pack and made sure they were okay with being in that kind of situation. This is what made me think back on to the day me and carlos met. We didn't get the chance to even start that conversation.

"We need to talk,"I said trying to keep my voice steady.

" Yes we do," he said getting his serious face on, but the pride he had in his eyes never left.

"let's take a walk I've been In this office for too long, I need to stretch my legs," I said.

     As we left my office, I couldn't help but reminisce on the memories of the corridor I walking down.

I enjoyed every moment I spent here with my pack and I loved them enough to die for them If that is what it comes down to.

"Maziken a long time ago my best friend,my brother, and your father died. He left me with a secret I had to keep for years until you were ready to find me," he explained," Even though I know as much as anyone else you wish to have a normal, quiet life you and I both know that you are the future of all worlds and we need you for that. I'm going to tell you a story that you probably don't know because no one decided to teach you your history," He said leading me to a stone on the edge of the woods.

   " A long time ago there was a man who was the runt of the litter. He was cast aside by his family,friends and pack. He was so desperate to get stronger but didn't know how. So, he decided to go find a witch to help him fulfill his wish. She asked him what he desired most, she was thinking he was like every other being that came to her for help, wanting wealth, popularity, and power. She was amazed by his answer when she heard him ask for courage instead of money. She was so amused with his answer that she did more than what he asked for she gave him the chance to talk to his creator, not his mother, but the mother of all the creatures of the night. When he got there he didn't know what to expect but he felt ready to face anything that came at him. The moon goddess was satisfied with just his determination that she granted him his wish and more. She gave him courage yes, but she gave him the strength,power, and attitude to prove to everyone that he wasn't a weakling," he told me, clearing his throat ready to continue his story.

   " He returned home feeling much more powerful than he ever did. He wanted to show everyone his new power and strength.Later on that day he went to bed not expecting a dream from his goddess. When he got there he was ready to tell his goddess of the things he did that day not knowing she was watching him the whole time. She lectured him about the dangers that lurked behind having powers like his. Of course, he wasn't listening, he let all the power go to his head and became selfish and arrogant. Goddess tried to show him the dangers of his powers but she ran out of time and because of that she decided to test him. She showed him a glimpse of his future but he ignored her warnings. He started a war of chaos and destroyed families and homes until Goddess finally said it was enough. She went and confronted him on his crimes and took away all his powers. Then, she showed him what he had done by tearing apart the peace formed between each kingdom. When she was finished showing him what he had done he became filled with guilt that he locked himself away from the world. In that time that he was away he came up with a prophecy."

" Let there be light in the dark,

but there will always be darkness.

The better half walks the earth

the other roams in the shadows.

   One will fight and one shall fall

One shall be our savior and one shall be our destruction."

"Maziken will you be our light towards a better future or will you be our doom leading us all to the darkness?" he asked.

      I know I had my answer set in stone but It didn't change the way I was thinking about what might happen if I shall fail them. I can't, no I won't let It happen.

" I can't make any promises on what happens in the future but I can vow that I will try my best to better future in this war," I vowed.

And with that I made a promise to myself that if I shall fail I Will End myself to save everyone I love.
