The Alpha's Daughter Wants Revenge

Chapter 5

    "Phoenix" 

    Is that even a real thing? Of all the stories I've heard about phoenix's were myths. I stood by the tree, zoned out for a good 10 minutes before going back to my camp. I wasn't able to sleep so I grabbed my notebook and started writing about everything that's happened since I got to ShalderTown. When I felt like I wrote enough, I put the notebook away then remembered something from the party. The guy that Mayor Drew was talking to was holding a knife but of what I saw it wasn't just any knife. I had to find a way to get that knife but at this point I still couldn't trust anyone not even Kai. Speaking of Kai, I saw him walk from behind of tree quietly. 

    "What?" I asked.

    Kai pulled something out of his pocket," Have you ever seen this before?" 

    The thing that Kai was holding looked like a crystal that was combined with something else. At first I didn't recognize what it was until Kai got closer towards me and I felt like something was being ripped from my skin. It's like my wolf was being ripped from my soul but it only lasted for a couple seconds then everything was back to normal.

    "Why the hell would you bring that here?" I asked angered," Especially if you knew it would hurt me." 

    "I knew it wouldn't last long," Kai said," Your part witch. The crystal won't hurt you completely."

    "That didn't answer my question," I said," Why did you bring it here?"

    "To test a theory," Kai said," If your a witch and a wolf then that wouldn't of killed you. It would of only hurt you a little bit." 

    "A little bit?" I said even more angered," That thing  felt like it was ripping my wolf side out of my body. Wait, what do you mean by it wouldn't of killed me. Does that crystal thingy kill wolves?"

    "I don't know for sure," Kai said while walking closer to me and holding the crystal closer to me," But of what it does to you, I wouldn't be surprised if it did kill other wolves. Here try to take it."

    I reached my hand out to grab the crystal but this time nothing happened. I looked toward Kai but something felt off. 

    "Why do you even have this?" I asked," You wouldn't just grab something like this to test a theory." 

    "Okay I was actually hoping it would kill you," Kai said.

    Now that was shocking. 

    "What the hell is wrong with you?" I asked concerned," Your supposed to be helping me." 

    "Yeah that's what I was thinking but then I realized," Kai explained," I don't help freaks. Especially wolf freaks. So this is my town and I suggest you leave." 

    "Seriously," I said pissed off," How about you leave before I rip you apart for being a back stabbing, selfish, jackass." 

    A rush a wind came over us but this time I had my magic under control. I looked Kai dead in the eye and said to him," See you got part of that right. I might be a wolf but I'm also a damn strong witch. The difference between me and you is that your not even a full vampire. Me, huh, I could easily break you with a snap of my fingers. So get the hell away from me."

    For a slight second I saw fear in Kai's eyes then he turned around and left. The next hour or two went by fast but the day was still going by slowly. I've spent another day in the woods trying to find answers and only asking myself more questions. I looked down and saw that I was still holding the crystal so I decided to go over by the tent I had set up and put it in there. When I sat the crystal on the table it turned a different color. The crystal now looked like ice but had a hint of what looked like fire. This is the first time I've ever saw something like this so I didn't know what to do. Then out of nowhere, a book showed up next to it. On the cover there was a drawing of a type of bird. I must've been stupid because when I looked closer it was a  phoenix. 

    I didn't think anything of the book but I did know I wanted answers so I picked it up. When I opened the book the first page was just about how the phoenix's came to be. Then I flipped through a couple pages before I came across a picture that caught my attention... A fancy design. The same one that was on the knife. I started reading what was on the page but I couldn't finish it. The meaning behind the design was horrible...

    The same design was on the knife that the Mayor was holding. To kill a werewolf you would need the knife with the exact same design but it couldn't be silver. There was something else about the design; it had to be enchanted with phoenix blood but the knife could only kill two wolves before needing to enchant it again. And phoenix's were really rare.
