The Royal Twins

The Attack

Chapter 3

I didn't even know when I passed out on the floor. I woke up just in time to see the sun disappearing behind the clouds. I got up off the floor rush out the castle and into the woods. As I wonder through the outrageous woods, the cold and humid  night air bites at the skin. My skin crawls as if I am being watched. I sense the presence of someone watching me so I started to run. As I ran, heavy droplets pounded against my skin. Stinging like wasps. After running for what seems like eternity, I finally came  up on a little cave.

For a minute I hesitated to go in, my heart thumping, at the boundary between light and darkness. From the overhead clumps of moss, cold drops plopped into my hair, a water clock ticking away the precious seconds. The musty smell, was it from bats? Or was there something more sinister in this cave?

As I stepped in, the cave lit up with fireflies, it was mesmerizing, for a minute I forgot about the hurtful things that had happen earlier. I stayed their laying on back for what seems like a eternity until I was fast asleep.

while sleeping I saw a lady dresed in full white with grey hair appeared in my dreams tell me to be strong and everything will soon make sense “Alpha”. Just know you are stronger than you think, just be patient.” and with that said she left.

I woke up with tears running down my cheek and the beautiful chirping sound of birds. which signal that it is morning. For a male I seems to cry a lot like a girl. Maybe i am as pathetic as they say. i have no wolf, no smell no nothinf maybe i am just a weak as human. maybe i was even adopted who to tell. i am not a wolf then who am i? a weak ass pathetic human i would say. 

I got up and hurried back to the pack house which I started to clean the place spotless before anyone was up. I finish up hurried to the lake and took a shower, got dress and leave out for school. I was too exhausted to walk the long way so I decided to take the short cut. For some strange reason I feel as if something terrible was going to happen.

I had only cover a few meters when I heard a loud howl. I was startled for a second then I heard another loud howl. I was about to run when three large man surround me. I was shaking with fear because I don’t know how to defend myself and they look like rouges.  

“I am a very deadly wolf, you do not want to mess with me” I said in my defence.

“Hmmm breakfast! Guys we are going to have a healthy breakfast today. This one cannot hurt a fly!”

I took a step back not realizing that the tree was so close to me and I almost fell to the ground but I manage to stand my grounds. 

They started to laughing and saying I did not deserve to be a male.

“So weak and impotent” one of the boys said.

I was their when a lady who looked to be in her mid 30s approached me and told me to go behind the tree.

“You know it is not wise to pick on the helpless and that is not an act of bravery but that of cowardliness.”

They started to laugh even harder and calling the lady old fool.

“it is best you just give us our breakfast and we just might spear your life”, said one of the boys.

“I believe you three can find something better to ear perhaps a fox or even a lion. If you head more north you will find reindeer” said the lady

“Do you want to die lady? How on earth are you going to win against us three” they said.

The boys then turn into enormous wolves. while the lady stood there unalerted by their wolves. 

She then called me from behind the tree and told the boys to come. I was begging her but she seems unperturbed by my behaviour. 

All three wolves attack at once, the lady flung me and I landed on my face. 

I witness her piercing her sliver red handle knife into the brown wolf chest and kicked the Grey wolf with so much force he landed in a tree. She use her other arm to block the attack of the other wolf. But he bit her on her left arm, she then used the same left arm and swing him in the tree. He fell to the ground and she used the opportunity to use her knife that was in the other wolf chest to plunge it into the wolf who fell to the ground.

They all pleaded and begged for their lives, but that didn’t stop the lady from killing them. 

The wolf of whom she kicked in the tree was running away. She took off like a flash of light and leaped in air and shift into an even humongous red wolf with eyes as red as Cinnabar. She made another leap and the wolf was lifeless on the ground with his neck pumping blood.

She then told me to get up and help her get rid of the bodies. 

We threw them in a near by lake of which she also rinse the blood off her body. She was still full naked but pretend as if I was none existent. 

“Oh look at the time I should be on my way to school.” 

She looked up and gave me a deadly look, then she spoke. “You will not attend school well not today. Mention this to anyone at anytime and you my friend will be next.”

I was astonished at her words then she spoke again. 

“Boy didn't your father taught you how to defend yourself, what if I wasn't passing by? You would be dead gone. At one point I thought you were a girl.”

I looked up at her but couldn't form words so I held my head down and followed closely behind her. The journey was silent if a pin fell on the floor you could hear it. She finally arrived at her place, she gave me something to eat. I was eating because it was the best meal I have eaten in years. I was busy eating when she spoke.

“I will teach you how to fight but first I have to know who I am dealing with. You seems like a nice kid who just need a little guidance, care, motivation and to build some muscles.”

With that said I told her I was going to tell her everything I remember.

Maybe she knew my parents I said, more of a whisper to myself. As I remember the tragedy that took place, tears started to form in my eyes which threaten to fall.  I began telling her everything I remember from start to finish.
