The Origin

She always put her walking stick on the same spot every time she's not using it.

But why is it that it's gone when she was sure that she put it in the corner near the door?

She needs to bring the basket of food to the cave now, and where the hell was her walking stick?

Never mind, she would just grab another stick nearby.

Grandma Azere picked up the basket and left the house.

She grabbed a random stick from the ground and proceed on her way to the cave.

While walking...

She felt the presence of the black witch behind her. When she looked behind her, she didn't see anyone. She continues walking. "Stop hiding in your invisible form!" she said angrily.

The black mist materialized beside her and the witch smiled brightly at Azere.

"I'm not a bitch and I have a name! Why don't you call me by my name! We used to be best friend before and we treated each other like sister. But you betrayed me!" the black witch said.

Grandma Azere released a deep sigh. "I didn't betray you, Olga! And you know it!"

"But why did you make love with Hozer that night!? You still go ahead with your desire to tempt him even if you know that I'm crazy over him!" Olga insisted.

Grandma Azere took a deep breath. "I was set up by Doreen! We're both deceived by that woman!" she explained.

"And where is Doreen now? No one can tell me that you're innocent. When I heard you moaned in ecstasy while making love with Hozer, I died inside! That's why I joined in the fun!" Olga said, she gritted her teeth in anger.

Grandma Azere shut her eyes for a moment and looked at Olga. "Leave me alone! I don't want to hear about the past anymore!" she yelled angrily at her.

Olga looked at Azere with a mixture of anger and pain in her eyes. "You betrayed me! I will never forgive you! You slut!" she said and spits on her friend's face. She then vanished in the blink of an eye.

Fresh tears emerged on Grandma Azere's eyes. She wiped Olga's saliva from her face with the hem of her clothing. She deserves to suffer for what she has done. Although she didn't want any of it, she take responsibility for everything that happened that night.

She continues walking in the direction of the cave.

A few minutes later, she finally reached the cave and placed the basket on the rock.

"Grandma, thank you very much for bringing me food everyday," Rhett said in a grateful voice.

Grandma Azere nodded her head and walked away.

Rhett watched the old woman sadly. Grandma never complained about bringing him food every day. He will be forever grateful for her hard work and dedication. He grabbed the basket and bring it to the chamber so that he and Sabrina can eat their lunch.

Meanwhile...

Azere was back on the hut. She closed the door and went to her room and lie down on the wooden bed.

The memories of the past flooded her mind, tormenting her again.

FLASHBACK!

~~~0~~~

Once upon a time.

At the top of Laswich Mountain.

There lived an almighty witch called Mother. She has two favorite beautiful and talented apprentices, namely Azere and Olga, both 18 years old. Then there's Doreen, her least favorite apprentice.

Olga and Azere were best friends while Doreen was the third wheel.

The girls were orphaned and raised by Mother.

They lived in peace and harmony at the top of Laswich Mountain.

Once a year, every three months, Mother will go on seclusion in Holybel Summit to meet with other powerful witches. Their purpose is to gain and cultivate more power. Once in a while, Mother went into seclusion, leaving her apprentices to fend for themselves.

On top of the Laswich Mountain was a ten-hectare flat surface with lush vegetation, dotted with trees and colorful flowers that Mother and her students had cultivated through the years. There's also a beautiful pond that never goes dry, that's where they get their drinking water.

The apprentice catches fish and shrimps in the lakes below the mountains.

Olga and Azere would go in tandem and catches fish in the lakes and roamed the valleys below the mountains. Doreen was always left behind to take care of everything in the house. She grew resentful and envied Olga and Azere's closeness. Then she also hated Mother's favoritism attitude toward the girls.

Due to her hatred, she learned dark spells secretly.

Years went by.

Olga and Azere became more daring with their adventures.

During one of their exploits in the Golden Peak Valley...

It was nighttime.

The moon was shining brightly in the sky during that time. When they saw a handsome guy bathing naked in the lake surrounded by trees. He got a perfect chiseled body. The women were giggling in their invisible form and only left the lake after the guy finished his bath and went home.

They followed him in the Golden Peak Valley, the place where a large gathering of werewolves can be found. The whole valley was occupied by the three powerful Alpha brothers and their packs.

The guy that the girls followed into the valley was one of the Alpha, named Hozer, he already had a loving Luna by his side. The werewolf couple was happily raising seven children together.

On that year.

Mother was gone for three months and her disciples engaged in adventures left and right.

Olga and Azere both fallen hard for Hozer. Olga was very vocal about her admiration for Hozer, while Azere kept her feelings hidden inside her heart.

They kept visiting the lake where Hozer loves taking a bath alone in his human form.

Unknown to the two girls, Doreen followed them a few times on their escapades and discovered their fascination and obsession towards the Alpha Hozer, and orchestrated her ultimate plan to bring down Mother's two favorites out of jealousy and envy.

Doreen plotted her grand evil scheme while waiting for Mother's return to the Laswich Mountain.

She knew that Mother would hate her disciples if she discover that they're obsessing with an Alpha werewolf.

Mother herself had a bad experience with an Alpha werewolf when she fall in love with one in the past, but the werewolf abandoned her after meeting his Luna. From that moment onward she hated werewolves in every fiber of her being. She distances herself from them.

She even warned her apprentice not to get involved with a werewolf because they're good-for-nothing creatures. She told them that she will punish heavily anyone who fall in love with a werewolf and worst - disowned them and kicked them out from the Laswich Mountain.

For three months, Olga and Azere indulged in their obsession with Hozer, following him around in the lake and anywhere he goes.

The women become his hidden shadows.

After three months, Mother finished her seclusion at Holybel Summit and ready to go home the next day, at nighttime. Using her favorite messenger bird, she sent the message to her house at the top of the mountain.

The white pigeon delivered the message to Laswich Mountain, and Doreen received the piece of paper. She hides the message, and never informs her companions about Mother's return to the mountain.

The perfect opportunity has finally arrived!

Time to execute her evil scheme.
