6 The Clock Ticked Again [III]

Mara, who was unconscious, felt in the same warm cloud of energy from before, i as time went by, she decided to wait, forgetting what she saw before fainting, time flew, and without knowing what to do, she fell asleep, with the warmth of her surroundings. In her deep slumber, she wanted to wake up but could not, because her eyelids felt heavy.

When she was about to try to wake up again, she heard a female voice speaking with warmth and love.

"Amara, you must become the Supreme Leader, your mission is to find the Leader of the Lycan Clan and awaken the Flame within both of you, and fulfill the wish of your ancestors, but it will not be easy, the hatred between both clans is too intense, at the same time you can not force your feelings, if the Alpha Monarch and the Supreme Leader do not fall in love, the Flame will not be fully awakened, there are humans who are still looking for it, the Fairies, Elves, Forest Spirits, all are looking for the Flame, but only the leaders of the Vampire and Lycan Clan know of its last whereabouts. Be strong my child, you will remember everything in due time, at the end, you are the..."

Mara heard the sweet voice talking to her about what she has to do, and remembered the story her Mommy told her, and then she could identify her Mommy's voice.

"Mommy, is that you? Mommy?" trying hard to remember her mother, Mara tried hard to do it, but she could feel something like a stab in her head and heart, then some images came to her mind, her Mommy's cold body, open chest, no heart, blood everywhere, until she screamed, her scream was so loud being close, but so soft being far from her.

"MOMMY! MOM! AH!"

When she screamed the cloud of warm energy fluctuated and resonate with her agony, and when it was about to explode a pair of arms came to embrace her little body, and then a male voice comes to her ears and said "Little one, your Mommy is in a better place, a place where all the supernatural beings have to go at the end of their journey, if you want to see her again you have to get a hold of the Complete Flame!"

"Sniff. Sniff... really?" asked little Mara when she heard the enchanting male voice. She tried to find the face, but she discovers she could not see it, only the rest of his body, and he is wearing a white suit with a golden tie. It was weird, but it was some kind of suit with a tunic style, she didn't recognize this kind of fashion.

"Yes, little one, you need to be stronger, activate your death army and come to me, I'm your guardian, I have the task to protect you, but you need to have the strength to free me, my body is in the dungeon inside the Mansion, come for me when you turn 10; come prepared, you will need a lot to get there."

The Little Mara didn't understand what was he talking about, but deep inside she knew it, so she said. "So, I need to get stronger..." recalling everything she asked with curiosity "You are the big brother in the golden coffin?"

"Chuckle... Yes, you can say is me... why?"

"Oh, Mommy said before that there was a handsome big brother inside a coffin in the dungeon, and that she needed to beat some monsters to get close to that big brother, so I need to do the same?"

With amusement in his eyes, the male voice said "Yes, but you need to train, use the power of this warm cloud of energy, this will give you the power and will be your guide to me and the Flame, but be careful, don't tell anyone about the existence of this cloud or me."

"Oh, why?" asked with curiosity the little one.

"Because both you and I will be in danger, we need to protect each other."

"Okay, I get it, I'll protect you, big brother!" said with conviction and confidence that is no longer serious but is cute.

With a baritone laugh, he pinched her nose and with a tease in his voice said before going "Mistress, grow up faster, I'm waiting for you, cheer up, life is always changing, not everything's lost, you have a mission to fulfill in your Mommy's place."

Pouting because the enchanting voice of the big brother was laughing at her, but upon seeing his body dissipating, mending with the white background. She got worried, "I won't see you until I come to find you?"

"Yes, little one! But if you want to hear my voice again is simple." said the charming voice with a little teasing.

"What?" said Mara impatiently and eagerly.

"Call my name and say that you will love me in the future." said the voice, even if she can't see his face, she can imagine him smirking.

But the innocent and naïve Mara only said something that makes him froze.

Blinking her beautiful eyes, trying to think she said in the end "But, Mommy says that I can only say I love you or something like that, to my future mate, and my mate is a Lycan."

"..."

The voice said with a little indignation "Okay, then just call my name..." and with that, he dissipates completely. Forgotten to give her his name.

"WAIT... I... don't know your name..."

On the cloud, she's thinking and thinking she could not even imagine what would be his name. Just when she was about to say something, her surroundings were dissipating too, until she woke up in her bed.

But when she opens her eyes, an old clock made weird sounds until...

"CLANG."

"TICK TOCK."

"TICK TOCK."

"TICK TOCK."

The man in the cell beside the golden coffin heard the clock...

Surprised he said, "The clock ticked again, they will come back."

"..."

After a couple of minutes of silence, he continued speaking; "Sigh... Mistress, become stronger faster, not only humans are coveting our power, but 'that thing' too."
