THE BATTLES FOR LOVE( DESTRUCTION OF THE ALPHA'S)

CHAPTER TWO

It appears he was having a dream. "The time is near" the voice whispered before he wakes up. Is that a dream? He asked himself, before heading back to the cottage. When he reached the cottage, Mary was already awake and she decided to take a stroll with him.

Theo, Mary asked why did you go out of your way to buy meat? Wouldn't it have been better to eat at the guild?

Theo replied; Their vegetable offerings are limited. Who cares? I hate vegetables Mary screamed. That's why Theo said, The innkeeper is letting me borrow the kitchen, so I'll cook dinner. What? You're going to cook for me? Well, I want steak Mary said. As she leaped happily forward. All right,Theo replied.

Meat! Meat! Meat! She sang as she was walking. Maybe I should mash some vegetables and mix them in with the steak he thought. Mary suddenly stopped and turn to Theo ; it'd be awesome to have well-done meat tomorrow and rare meatthe day after that! Theo looked at her and smiled.

Back in the inn Theo was arranging the plates which they already used to eat on a table and put Mary to sleep. You could see it in his eyes, he seemed disturbed about the dream. He stood up and went outside to train as usual.

It was early in the morning, Mary and Theo headed to the Guild to take on a mission. On reaching the Guild and checking the notice board there wasn't any missions available.

Sky spoke loudly Hey, hey! What's going on here? Seriously, not a single mission?, Another guild members replied Well there goes our livelihood.

Theo and Mary decided to take a breather outside. As they headed outside Sky looks in disgust.

There've been very few dragons lately, Mary said. Yes, you're right he replied. Quickly changing the subject he asked her, I need to cut your hair soon. It's getting long.

They reached the inn and both went to the bathroom. Theo got a scissors and trimmed her hair, All right. Perfect; he told her. He saw the flashback of his dream and froze. Mary asked if he was alright and even anything was bothering him. He shook he head to get right back to is senses and told her he was fine.

He had the dream of the death of Mary again, he woke up with tears in his eyes;That dream. Again. Took his sword and went outside to spar. After some minute's of swing his sword, he sat down on the floor exhausted; You'll lose her! the voice in his head spoke angrily. He stood up and started slashing the tree uncontrollably.

Back at the Guild, Sky his discussing with his comrades. They sat around a round table with a map in front of Sky. One of his comrades asked; Aren't the dragons behaving strangely? Another replied Yeah. They've been like this for some days now. It seems like they're migrating to the east together. Another added no wonder there was no decent missions lately. To the east is...., As Sky used is finger to trace the east on the map which was in front of him. He reach the city and spoke the name out loud Twinne? That makes no sense, That city hasn't been attacked by dragons in a decade. One of hiscomrade addded I don't know the reason, but have heard that's the case.

Mary, who happened to be at the Guild with Theo and heard what Sky and his crew were discussing told Theo, when I hear about twinne, I think of the Silver Chick. Have you heard of it? It's a famous pastry shop. If there are dragons cropping up near there, we should try it out after hunting, Theo.

Not focusing on what Mary told him trapped in his thought about the dream. What exactly was that? A dream? Was it really just a dream? I highly doubt it. And there's is that man. Is he a vision? A ghost? I don't think he is either one. But....

Hey! Hey! Mary said has she's waving her hands in front of him. He woke up from his thought and she asked him what's wrong? You really zoned out. He looks at her , Oh! Was Number Two being rude to you again? Huh! What me? Sky screamed. She kept on asking Theo, Should I crush him? Can I? No Theo replied. She put her hand on his forehead to check his temperature, you have bags under your eyes, she checked his hands also; Your hands are calloused. You've been working harder than you ever have the past few days. What happened? She asked calmly. Why are you in such a frenzy? Tell me. Theo held her hands saying, What.... What can I do for you, Mary? Besides just taking care of things for you, how can I help you in a meaningful way? Mary smiles ; You know what I thought the first time we met?, I thought that we had to potential to attain the same level of strength, don't we? She asked. Theo look's surprised; That's.... Impossible! I don't have your talent. Nope you don't Mary said, You don't have talent for warewolf hunting. As someone who's a natural genius, I can vouch for that. But my genius instincts also tells me you'll become strong. I don't know when that will happen or what the catalyst will be.i can't predict that. But I can't wait, she hugged him and told him she'll protect him until that time comes.

(Flashback)My parents were eaten by warewolves when I was three. Some of my relatives took me in, but then they got eaten by warewolves too. A wealthy man bought me, but then warewolves burned his estate to the ground. The people around me also blamed me for it. They beat me up and yelled that I was the one responsible for attracting the warewolves, they said I was working for warewolves and that I was cursed. I've been attacked by warewolves over and over again but somehow, I always survived. Is there anywhere I can live in peace. As I cowering in fear on the floor after being beaten. Someone called out to me; Mister, wanna hunt warewolves with me? I stopped covering my face and looked up, it was a young girl with yellow hair. She said to me; having a special link with warewolves isn't a bad thing when you're a warewolf hunter. Especially if you're always able to survive. She assisted me in standing up and said so from this day forth, you're a warewolf hunter too!I stopped I can't! If I follow you! Before I finished my sentence she stopped me and told me it wasn't my fault. The weak die. Those that are stronger than the warewolves live. I'm strong, so I won't die. I'll prove it. She lend a hand out and urged us to hurry. Next thing I know we were battling a dragon, I was scared and was telling her to retreat and that I didn't think it was a good idea. Before I knew it , she rushed forward and just with one s***h of her blade she killed the warewolf. Hey, I lived! She said before she smiled at me. I thought to myself 'This girl is strong, there's no way she'll die" or it could have just been me not being able to imagine her dying before me.
