Untamed: the prophecies

Chapter 4

Lillian:

      When we turned 19 we had already been blessed by the goddess more then we could have asked for. We were both prophetic children. Adonis was gifted the ability to withstand emotion and be extremely strong beyond belief. She could shift faster then I’ve seen any wolf. She could levitate, she could move things with just the flick of her wrist, she could kill without a single hesitation. She could also share powers such as powers of myself if she properly channeled her energies. I was granted the ability to heal, to give life to plants, wolves, humans, using my life as a life source. It drained me for a little bit but i recuperated easily. I had the dying need, I craved, to constantly learn I’d medicine. Whether it be antibiotics, natural healing methods, remedies, crystals, you name it I have studied about it. I was blessed also with the ability to command the truth from someone. My sister said I was a jury at one time and she was the judge but if I were ever in the end of being the one up for trial I would be scared to face Adonis. She is merciless, she is stern, and she has zero tolerance for games. She is quick and to the point and i have always admired her for that so much. 

       When we were 19 we were strolling through the woods and we came across a group of wolves. We were running and we got carried away, we were talking and laughing. More so she was laughing at me for starting college.  I knew it was harmless but she sure was having a ball laughing at my expense. 

      When we came upon them she was guarded like she always is but this time something about them was off. Their scent, the way they seemed ravenous. Then I knew because of my studies. They were rogues, but any rogues they were rogues that had been outcasted for so long that they let their wolf take over almost nearly impossible to be able to shift back to human form now, no reasoning in their eyes, their subconscious self being taken over by the blood hungry wolf in them that has tainted the chance of them ever returning to a pack. 

         As soon as I was thinking this Adonis jumped in front of me and one lunged for me. Then another lunged for Adonis. Claws flying in the air as we were trying to fend them off. Adonis was not a force to be reckoned with she was scary and fierce. The two of us against a pack of 8 or more. Once majestic creatures being human and shifting to wolf now just feral beast. 

         “Adonis!” I screamed as i min liked to her as one very large wolf jumped over the others from the back of the pack and slapped Adonis with his claws Leaving a mark. Dirt ran through her I could feel her rage, I could feel the heat coming from her body. 

            They were circling us now making it so there was no openings for us to get our.  “Stay behind me no matter what happens!” She said to me never taking her eyes off of the pack of wolves that were closing In on us. She let out a howl that let them know she was alpha but they did not care. Lunging and growling at us. One rushed up behind me and lit my leg. She turned and took him by the neck into her mouth and shook so furiously he whimpered and his neck snapped. Letting his body fall to the ground. She had blood dripping from her mouth I have never seen her like this. 

          Just as the circle closed in on us, the night sky split open with a blinding light. Adonis looked at me and time stood still. This was not a tornado, this was not fierce wind bending to our will this was total and complete silence, This was the eye Of the storm. Just then, we’ were shifting without our own doing. Against our own will. We’re were standing in the middle of the circling pack naked. Starting to flow our heads spring back so that we were looking into the sky there she was again. The voice, our moon goddess. 

         “My children, as promised in the prophecies I shall grant you one last gift. Adonis you will now have the gift of sight. You may see things before they happen my executioner. Lillian you are granted with the gift of time. You have the ability to bend time backwards for a small window my healer. These are the last gifts i bestow upon you children. However do not ever think that I am gone. I am here and I am always watching my masterpieces as they perform. Adonis, do not forget your speed that I gifted you with all those years ago. Blessed be my children. Make me proud.” And the crack in the sky closed the light dissipated. 

          Looking at Adonis with worry in my eyes as the wolves will soon be unfrozen she drew her claws but stayed in human form.  “Adonis no!” I screamed at her just then they were lunging and coming out of no where. The soon 8 wolves seemed like hundreds. 

      “Adonis!” I yelled “ADONIS!” I screamed again not being able to see her. I see due flying. I see blood splattering everywhere. I hear yelping and cries, I hear bones breaking. 

           I sit on the ground with my hands clasped over my ears. Just as the noise calmed down I felt a hand on my arm and I jumped back startled. 

       “Hey, hey there calm down. It’s just me.” She said smiling at me. Covered in blood and sweat. 

      “Adonis are you hurt? Here let me heal you.” I said to her standing to help her. 

       “No I’m fine sister. This isn’t my blood. It’s theirs.”

She said as she motioned to her pile of bodies. 

         “Adonis, these wolves they are all dead.” What if we could have helped them

       “Lillian they had already Been turned for too long and their was no hope for them.” Adonis told me. 

       “Well we can’t just let them lay there like this and become food for the passing animals.” I said to her. “Here I have an idea.” I told her. 

        Walking towards them. I placed my hands on the pile of bodies and concentrated, more the I ever had in my life. I had an image in my head of what I wanted them be. I tree, a beautiful tree to join the others that way they never feel outcasted or alone again. They would be amongst hundreds of other trees. 

         The dirt was moving. Vines and leaves were coming together around their bodies and pushing them into the ground. Not giving up, this is not bad I envisioned. I focused harder. Hands glowing and I felt the wind whip around me. I need to pour my strength into these bodies to give them life again. To give them a purpose. 

        “Grow..” I said as I felt powerful surfing through me. “Grow!” I yelled. As I did a trunk shot up out of the ground. Giving them life their bodies being the root of this tree. Their evil being the root of this majestic living thing.  

          Once more we are gifted by the moon goddess.
