CHAPTER 3: Moonlight Encounter

The Next Day......

Frida, Come Let us roam about the forest, So That you can know The Ways of the Forest. My Father said.

Yes Father, Let's Go! I said excitedly.

Later.....

Father, May I ask you a question? I asked.

Of course, My Dear. Why do you have to ask before you talk to your father? My Father asked shocked.

Well, Are you Not the Mighty Alpha Eros?! I replied sarcastically.

Well, I am, But I am also your Father. My Father said Chuckling.

I guess you right. Well.... Why do Werewolves and Vampires Fight? I asked hoping for Answers.

Well, My Dear, I've Told you About Mother, Right? My Father said.

Yes, My Mother Was Killed By a Vampire. I replied.

Vampires Can Not Be Trusted. They Betrayed The Trust We Werewolves had in Them. My Father Explained.

What Do You Mean? I asked confused.

Long Ago, Werewolves And Vampires Were allies, Until They Teamed up with Our Mortal Enemies. My Father Explained.

Mortal Enemies? Are They The Humans? I asked.

Yes. Humans Have Long been Our Enemies, They have Been Killing Our Tribes For As Long As I Can Remember, And The Vampires Teamed up with Them To Go Against Us, They Attack Our Pack, And Killed Our People. From Then On We Have been Enemies With The Vampires. My Father Explained.

But Father, Why Did The Humans Attack Both Our Pack And The Vampires? I asked.

Well, Humans Can't Be Trusted, Of Course At A Point They Betrayed The Vampires. My Father Explained.

But, Father, Why Can't We Just Have A Truce? Won't It Be Better if We All Lived Peacefully? I asked.

Oh my Dear, You Have Such a Peaceful Soul, Do you know Why I Named You "Frida?" My Father asked.

Yes, You Have,A Hundred Times. I replied.

Your Name Means "Peace" Jus-

Like My Mother, Your Mother Was a Peaceful Soul, Just like You. I said Mimicking My Father.

You Know Me So Well, You Do Have Such A Beautiful Soul, Your Mother Would be So Happy If She Saw Who you've Become. My Father said Chuckling.

Father,In order for Me To Become The Next Alpha,Do I Not Need To Have Some Powers, But I don't Have Any? I asked.

Well, Each Time Differs, You'll Just Have To Wait. In The Main time Why Don't I Teach You more About Hunting? My Father Suggested.

Sure, Let's Move! I said excited.

Later......

Father, I will Go And Patrol our territory For Awhile. I said to My Father As We Reached The Pack.

You Should, It Will Help You To Know Our Territory More. My Father Replied.

In The Woods......

I-I-I Smell Something Strange. I thought as I continue sniffing.

I Can Smell your Scent, Vampire. Show Yourself. I shouted.

I Mean No Harm. I am Merely Passing Through. A Vampire Replied Calmly After Coming Out Of The Shadows.

What Are you Doing Here? Don't You Know That This Is Werewolves Territory? What Makes You Think That I Won't Kill You? Your Kind Killed A Cub Belonging To My Pack. I asked Furiously.

I Don't Know. But I Feel Something Different About You,I Know You Are Not Like Your Pack. And About That Cub, I'm Truly Sorry,I Tried My Best To Prevent It's Death. The Vampire Said Looking Down.

I also Feel Something Different. I don't know what it is. There's something.... Something That draws You Close to Me. I said confused.

Draws You To Me? But We're Enemies,We Are Destined To Despise Each Other. The Vampire Replied Confused.

I Don't Believe That. I Believe There's More To Us Than Just Our.... Nature. I replied.

Perhaps You Are Right. Perhaps There's a chance For Us to Coexist, to Even.... Love Each Other. The Vampire Replied.

Yes, Love. Isn't That What we all crave, Deep down inside? I asked feeling a spark inside Me.

Perhaps. And Maybe, Just Maybe,We Can Find That Love In Each Other. The Vampire Replied Smiling.

Never! Your Kind Are Not To Be Trusted. They Killed My Mother! I replied snapping Back To Reality.

Your Kind Also Killed My Mother! You've Defeated, And Killed Countless Of My Kind For Centuries. The Vampire Replied.

You Should Leave Now, Before My Pack Finds You. I said.

Yes I Should. We Will Meet Again Werewolf. The Vampire Replied As He Disappeared Into The Shadows.

I Didn't Even Get His Name. I Thought as I head Back To my Den.

Frida, Why Did You Take So Long?! My Father asked worried.

But Father, I told you that I would Patrol around our territory,Why Are you worried? I asked.

You Know Frida, Vampires Roam about,If They see you alone, they will attack You. My Father Explained.

But Father, What if there's More To Us Than Just Fighting Each Other? What If There's a Chance we can Coexist? I asked Hopeful.

Here We Go Again. I told you Vampires cannot be trusted, They are dangerous....We are destined to be Enemies! My father replied.

No! I Don't Believe That! We Could Be More Than Just Enemies. We could walk together to fight against The Humans. I replied firmly.

You Should Rest. Tomorrow is Another Day. My Father replied Dismissing Me.

The Next Day.....

Frida, I think is time I thought you more about hunting,Shall we Go? My Father asked.

Of course Father, Let's Go! I replied excited.

In The Woods.....

The World is ever-changing, and we must adapt to survive. I will teach you the ancient techniques that have been passed down through generations, the secrets of the Hunt, that have kept our Pack strong.

Yes Father. I replied.

We then came to a Small Clearing were a herd of deers grazed peacefully.

To be a true Huntress, you must first understand the Forest around here, Every Rock,Tree,Every scent that lingers in the Air, So That you may know when a Vampire approaches.

You See how those deer move, how they graze without a care in the world. Remember our Goal is not to Harm them, Needlessly, but to take what we need for survival.

Yes Father. I replied.

Later That Night......

Frida,we should head back, I believe you have learned something from today's Hunt? My father asked.

Yes I have.Father, I would like to Patrol our territory,May I Go? I asked.

Fine, You May Go. I don't understand why you suddenly want to know our territory. My Father replied after thinking for awhile.

Thank you! I said running off.

In The Woods......

I wonder if the Vampire who come. I thought looking around.

Were you looking for Me? The Vampire asked coming out of the shadows.

No! I-I-I was just patrolling my territory. I replied nervously.

You're Bad at Lying. I wasn't expecting you to come here tonight. I believe we have some matters to discuss. The Vampire said.

What would That Be? I asked cautiously.

Don't You Think, The Feelings we have Are strange, I feel like.....we are destined to Be. The Vampire Replied.

Together? Ha! Not in a Million Years. Your Kind is Responsible for the Death of My Mother. We Are Destined To Be Enemies. I replied Nervously.

Your Kind Also Killed My Mother. You're The Daughter Of Alpha Eros And Luna Delia,My Mother Was Killed The Same Night Your Mother Was Killed. The Vampire Explained.

What?! You're The Son Of Vespera?! I asked Slowly Backing Away.

I am. You Don't Have To Be Afraid, I won't Hurt, Even if I wanted to,I can't Bring Myself To Do So. You Can't Tell Me You Don't Fill The Connection Between You And I? The Vampire asked drawing close to Me.

Wha-What Do You Mean? I asked struggling to speak.

I Know You Do. I have a Proposition For You. The Vampire Replied Smiling.

What is it? I asked.

Why Don't We Get To Know Each Other, Let's Meet Here Every Night. The Vampire Replied.

Why Would I Do That? Vampires Are Not To Be Trusted, How can I be Sure you won't Kill Me? I asked Nervously.

I Know that You And I want the Same Thing. Peace Between Werewolves And Vampires, And I Believe Together We Can Make That Happen. The Vampire explained.

I-I-I Don't Know. I replied Hesitantly.

Think About It. I'll Wait for You Here Tomorrow. By The Way My Name is "Cayson". The Vampire Replied.

Well,My Nam-

"Frida" I Know. The Vampire Replied Disappearing Into The Shadows.

Is It Really Possible? Can Werewolves And Vampires Coexist? I thought as I head back to the Pack.
