1 Chaos 1

Mara seven years old.....

I don't know what's going on? I want to play with my dolls,, but it's very noisy outside since everybody is running for their life. My mom and I were the only one who is staying.

We haven't packed our bags like the rest of the people around us. My dad is fighting a war against lycans somewhere, he is winning too, and this I know because of my eavesdropping skills.

My mom says lycans are awful things, too fast, strong and without a conscience. A deadly combination if you ask me. I once owned a pet which was part wolf, once he grew up my parents forced me to let it go because he turned out aggressive and even tried to harm me. Man and wild can never co-exist or so my mom tells.

Lycans were just like that you would think that they were innocent but when they notice that didn't like something you do. Then you will be left with twelve stitches and a heartbreak. At least that was what happened to me.

We were jostled by a bang on the door, my mom immediately went to open it. It was my mom's best friend and cousin, Lima. "You have to leave Sairee there is no hope for us. They will come for us. If they knew that you are Leo's wife, then I would fear what will happen to you?", she said.

"What happened Lima? Last I heard we were winning, so why do we have to leave? This is our land and this is where I will live and die", my mom said with conviction. There wasn't a hint of fear in her clear voice.

"You have to get out of this house to hear the latest news. Why do you think these people were fleeing? We defeated the king of Lycans, but now his son is in charge, and he is wiping us out. He is more powerful than his father. It won't be long before our last defence falls too. Get out of here, save Mara, this is what Assam would want you to do ", said she breathlessly.

Then there were loud growls from outside the house. I put my hands on my ears. They made me sick, I want to sleep and see daddy. "It's too late ", whispered my aunt. My mom mouthed words go hide to us and my aunt dragged me away into the smokey chimney. I remembered that Lycans can't smell us inside the chimney, but they could hear our heartbeat, but my clever mom put on the TV.

The door was now slammed and opened to reveal two ugly beasts. It was dark inside the chimney, but there was a small hole that helped me to see my mom. She stood with a silver sword in her hand, she was a skilled warrior. She met my father when she went to enrol in the fight against the Lycans.

A third one sauntered into our small house. There was something eerie about him. He had a scar on his face and he was wearing something like a crown on his head. "So the mighty Assam is hiding his lovely wife here while wasting away in the battlefield", he said with a cruel smirk.

"I suppose my husband gave you that scar, and now I'm going to end you ", my mom blasted him. His face lost all the joy while he looked at the blade warily. "If you let go of this sword, no harm will come upon you. You can even become my bride", said he. His eyes looking at her made my skin crawl.

"I would rather die ", was the only words uttered to my mother before she attacked him. He moved away from my mom. It looked a little like dancing, but it was a dangerous one. My mom managed to floor him and when she raised her sword to make her final strike she was attacked by two Lycans who stood there. It wasn't a fair fight, to begin with, my eyes watered. My tears flowed down my cheeks, but I didn't make a sound.

They ripped out her heart right before my eyes. I closed my eyes, not having any more strength to look further. "Bitch almost killed me. I wasted my time here. Let's go ", Igor said.

That day I lost my mom and my house too because they started a fire inside my house before leaving. My aunt and I barely made it outside while the fire raged. I looked at it, realizing that I was now an orphan. I lost everything that day, my mom, dad, and my soul.
