Beast

Pheonix and scarmerine was discussing about their past, they were so focused on it they didn't even notice that Vina was coming near them.

She was curious and asked to them, " are you two again talking about the past? "

Pheonix and scarmerine stopped talking about their past and looked back, it was Vina they looked at her and pheonix said. " Talking about the past gives us the energy to live in the present and think about the future. "

Pheonix then got up from the chair that he was sitting and then put his hand on her while warmly smiling, She chuckled and smiled like the little girl she was once used to be.

She quickly retained her serious composure and gave them some papers after that she quickly left the room, scarmerine quickly took a peek and read it then he said. " It's our queue to leave ".

Pheonix smirked and asked, " what is it now? A werewolf? "

Scarmerine got surprised and asked, " How did you know that? Did someone said something to you? "

Pheonix didn't have a clue about the mission, it was just a lucky guess from his part. But he maintained his composure as if he already knows everything.

" As I told you earlier, I can see the future. Don't you remember? "

Scarmerine looked at pheonix with a long face and said, " I don't think you have any powers like that, if you knew this problem beforehand you shouldn't been waiting here and chat with me just like that. "

Pheonix realised the tone of seriousness in scarmerine's voice and asked to him.

" Is there any particular reason? "

Scarmerine came close to pheonix and said, " not just you, I think not even Vina knew about this mission. "

Pheonix became impatient and asked to scarmerine, Don't make me guess. Just tell me what the problem is again. "

Scarmerine took a deep breath and said, " It's a werewolf and it was found in our old town, Besides this beast has a resemblence to Mina. "

Pheonix's eyes widened and said to scarmerine, " Then why are we waiting for just quickly get to our old town. "

Phoenix and Scarmerine headed towards the place. They were too impatient to see the werewolf. Phoenix and Scarmerine felt a little scared after visiting their old town. Still they decided to go there.

They reached the place. They stopped their vehicles at the outskirts and walked from there. They felt nostalgic and also fearful. Scarmerine walked towards his old house. He saw his house and suddenly remembered his mother screaming towards him to run, while she was burning. He saw the moment in his eyes and stood there like the frozen child he was that day.

Phoenix touched his shoulder. Suddenly Scarmerine wakes up. Phoenix told him to forget that part of his past and move on. They walked away. They searched the whole place till they found the werewolf. Scarmerine thought Phoenix will not attack the werewolf till he confirms it's not Mina. But he didn't hesitate to hit the werewolf with all his power. He looked back at Scarmerine and said,

"Do not hesitate. This is not Mina."

Scarmerine felt relieved but he knew they still needed to defeat it. They fought bravely. The werewolf was strong enough to push them both to a higher level. After a long battle they defeated the werewolf. It fell down and started Changing its form.

It completely turned back to human. It was a girl. She was completely naked. Phoenix used his long coat to cover her body. He told Scarmerine,

"Cover your eyes. She's Naked."

Scarmerine pouted and said,

"Why should i cover my eyes while you watching her?"

Phoenix smiled and said,

"Because I'm older than you and she's not an artifact, she's a human girl."

Phoenix realised that she's unconscious. He put his hand on her head and it started glowing. Within seconds the girl regained her consciousness. She slowly woke up and when she realised that she's Naked she tried to cover her whole body with phoenix's coat.

She was scared and she tried to get away from them. But Phoenix told her to stay calm.

" Hey..... Hey, please be calm. We are not some sort of perverts we want to help you. "

The girl's eyes darted between Phoenix and Scarmerine, they can see the fear in her eyes. She hesitated for a moment before finally nodding, still clutching the coat tightly around her. Phoenix spoke again, his voice was gentle but bold.

"We won't hurt you. Can you tell us your name?"

That girl hesitated for a moment, then she slowly whispered. " Luna. "

Pheonix smiled warmly and and asked to her, " Luna, we're here to help you. Do you remember how you ended up like this?"

Luna shook her head, her eyes pointing downwards. " I... I don't know. Everything is blurry, and then... I woke up like this."

Scarmerine stepped forward and asked her. " Do you remember anything at all? Any clues as to why this happened? "

She furrowed her brows and tries to recall her memories but there is no use, " I...I don't remember anything at all, I don't know anything. " She hold her head with her hands and started to cry.

Pheonix comes close to her a d tried to comfort her, placing a gentle hand on her shoulder. "It's okay, Luna. We'll figure this out together. But first, we need to get you somewhere safe."

Luna nodded, wiping away her tears with the back of her hand. "Thank you," she whispered, her voice barely audible

She stand up as pheonix helped her, " I...I can go back, you don't need to force yourself and accompany me. "

Both pheonix and scarmerine looked at eachother and said, " It's okay we will help you. "

But she was insisting on going alone, she said to both of them. " Just think about in my place, a naked girl accompanied by two man. If the rumours spread the only thing left for me is end my self. "

Phoenix and Scarmerine exchanged understanding glances, realizing the gravity of Luna's words. They nodded in agreement and assured her that they would respect her wishes.

"We understand, Luna," Phoenix said gently. "We won't force you to do anything you're uncomfortable with. But please know that we're here to support you in any way we can."

Luna nodded gratefully, a small smile flickering across her lips. "Thank you," she whispered, her voice tinged with relief.

With that, Luna walked away from there while limping, both pheonix and scarmerine watched her walking away.

Then they searched around the place to find any clues, but it was a futile attempt. They couldn't find anything noteworthy.

After that they returned to their vehicles, at that time there is something watching them.

It was observing every move that both scarmerine and pheonix made, suddenly it jumped out from the shadows and ran after something.

It was a black and white fur cat, that cat was playing with a small butterfly.

Scarmerine and pheonix get into their vehicles and drive back to their secret base, they needed to submit the report.

As they reached the secret base, they got a call from the higher ups. They want to meet both pheonix and scarmerine.

Pheonix and scarmerine opened the door to the room where the higher ups are, there was a clay statue on a corner and an old guy was sitting On a chair.

That Oldman was guru, the one who manges the secret base and the boss of pheonix and scarmerine.

Guru was furious as soon as he saw both pheonix and scarmerine he asked, " why didn't you kill the werewolf? Why did you spare such a dangerous beasts life? "

Phoenix and Scarmerine exchanged a puzzled glance, not expecting such a direct question. Phoenix stepped forward, his voice steady despite the tension in the room.

"Guru, we spared the werewolf because it turned back into a human girl. She was unconscious and defenseless. We couldn't bring ourselves to harm her in that state."

Guru, " Don't you know what is a werewolf? It will change back to its human form what will you do if that beast once again attacked the innocent peoples. Do you take the responsibility for their lives? Do you mourn for them? Even something happened here that shouldn't have been happened. "

Guru then pointed his finger towards the clay statue and continued, " Do you that statue? That is actually a person. He has been meditating for years he will only wake up from the meditation once the final battle begins. But today he shakes for the first time, not only him but the entire building. It was like an earthquake, do you two understand the gravity of your mistakes. "

Guru continued, " I think you two become arrogant after completing every mission, do you think that you can now do whatever you want? "

Phoenix and Scarmerine exchanged a solemn glance, realizing the severity of Guru's words.

Then pheonix said, "Guru, we understand the gravity of our actions, and we accept responsibility for our decisions. We spared Luna because she appeared to be a victim herself, and we couldn't bring ourselves to harm her. But we also understand the potential consequences of our actions, and we're willing to face the repercussions."

On the same time at Johns place, Natasha was curious to hear what he was about to say. Priya put her hand on his shoulder and said,

"Don't worry. It's normal for a boy at your age to stare at women's breasts. It's natural. But I have seen a lot of people. Your look was not sexual, it was curious, it was confusing. I still feel like you're just a pure heart kid."

John nodded in disagreement. He said,

"I don't know if I'm pure or not. But I have seen women naked before but I never felt anything sexual about it. But now it's different and I think I know the common factor which attracts me."

Saying that John looked at Natasha…
