Natural Forces

Kristine’s POV
“Just do it, now!!!”
My wolf screamed at me and I zoned out of my stare,back to reality.
“I cannot do it.”
I fell to the grass, my bum hitting hard on the ground,the pain almost driving me crazy.
“Argh s**t!!!”
I silently cursed myself for forgetting that it was hard grass now.
The grasses were no longer soft and fluffy, it was hard,brown and solid.
Since natural forces hit my pack village, everything has lost its colour and its softness.
“If I do it, I would lose everything I have worked for all my life.”
“But you would be safe.”
“And dead. So what is the cost?”
“Well technically you are not dead. You are just sleeping.”
“For a hundred years?”
“This is our last hope, Kristine, it is either you put a curse on yourself or you die like the others.”
I swallowed hard, drawing back the years that was about to fall out.
My heart fluttered, arrhythmia running through it.
The trauma of seeing my family die each day is something I could not live with.
Something was killing us, slowly.
“Would you still be here with me when I wake up after a hundred years?”
I felt my wolf facepalm itself and sigh.
“Of course I will still be with you, I am your wolf. I will always be a part of you.”
I cross my hands, shutting my eyes and wondering.
“I know but what if in a hundred years, everything changes and our wolves die inside of us and-“
“You are overthinking everything,Kris. The curse is harmless. You will be reborn in a hundred years. Same body,same age and same place.”
I put my head inside of my hands.
“Why is this happening,wolf? Why are natural forces ruining the MateHound Pack? Why do I have to watch all my pack members die?”
Streams of tears escaped my eyes and I muffled into my arms.
“You are wrong,Kris. Your baby is still alive.”
I gritted my teeth and bit my lips, forcing blood to pump out and flow down my throat.
“The curse does not work on her. She would be left alone, without a mother.”
I groaned, stomping my feet and laying flat on the grass.
“Have you noticed that the natural forces does not affect babies? Whatever is causing all these is exempting the babies and I think they are in very safe hands.”
She was right.
Omegas,Lunas and even Alphas are dying but baies are left behind.
“My baby would be dead in a hundred years.”
My hands went cold.
“Not really. She might have a life after all these;with kids, a husband and another pack. Who knows? You might meet your great grand child when you wake up.”
I cleaned my tear filled eyes and dripping nose.
“I hope so.”
“So are you ready to lay the curse on yourself?”
Her voice was high, filled with assertion.
She was not trying to convince me to go through the plan, she was leading me on like I already agreed to the plan.
“Can I say my goodbyes first?”
“Going back is risky. What if you die before coming back?”
“Arghhhhhhhh!!!”
I screamed loudly, rubbing the sides of my head to calm myself down.
“Your screams are deep howls, Kris. Please don’t frighten me again.”
“This is the wrong time to be a sass…you know I am frustrated and I am releasing it out.”
“It is not as bad as you think. If you stay here, there is nothing left for you. If you leave, there might be hope after you wake up.”
I went to where my baby was asleep and kissing her, raining blessings on her.
This was going to be the last time I would see her.
I moved back spun around, taking in the wrecked view of my pack village.
The last time I would see my village pack.
I inhaled and closed my eyes, self tripping myself into thinking that this was for the best.
“Okay, I am ready. Tell me what I have to do.”
“Climb to the basket, stay in the same position you want to be in after your rebirth and say the chants five times.”
I nodded, entered the basket and placed my hands on my chest.
“Last question-is this going to hurt?”
My wolf did not reply.
“You are being silent and my anxiety is climbing.”
“Well um, I did some research and I found out that this is a very painful process, but you can bear it. I trust you.”
“What? Why didn’t you tell me? You know I hate pain sensation.”
“On the bright side, I am feeling the pain too.”
“Colostro Rebirtho Uno.”
“The first one.”
I gulped down and pinched my fingers.
“Colostro Rebirtho Dos.”
“Number two. Three more and it is done.”
“What if I don’t make it?”
“What if you make it?”
“Colostro Rebirtho Tres.”
“Halfway through…”
“Colostro Rebirtho Cuatro.”
“One more left.”
I exhaled deeply, my sense of smell tingling,something was coming right at me.
“I hear the wind but smell fire.”
“We have to hurry up. It is coming for you now! Say the fifth chant!”
“Colostro Rebirtho Cinco.”
The strong scent of fire was the last to hit my nose.
It smelt so distinctly, I was probably surrounded by the heat.
I heard thunder bolts from above and water streams from below.
Something huge was pressed on me strongly. I could barely breathe and my limbs were numb, my mouth was still and my nose was rigid.
The atmosphere starting cooling out, my nerves felt like blisters in my own body.
Pain ran though my being and wolf, deep on my body and unfiltered in my soul.
“You can do this,Kristine.”
Those were the last words I got from my wolf.
After about a thousand seconds, everything normalized.
There was no taste, no sound,nothing audible and no movement.
It has been done.
I was dead,soon to be reborn.
