The Dark Ones

As the new day has begun and the sun is now beaming into the manor, Luna steps out of the bathroom dressed and ready to start her new job for today. She steps out her room and see's Zechariah walking past in the far distance, "Hey Zack!!!", Luna yells out while waving to catch his attention; Zechariah continued in the direction he was walking. Luna begins thinking to herself, "He must not have heard me I should probably go and try to catch up to him"; as she walks in the hastened pace to try to keep up to where Zechariah is walking to. Once Luna reaches the end of the hallway and turns left at the corner, she sees a quick glimpse of him turning right at the end of the next hall way. Once she makes it to the end of the next hall and turns right, there is a dead end with multiple doors so she begins walking down the hall to see if she can find where Zechariah went. Just as Luna was about to call out Zechariah's name, it was four doors down on the right; one door was still slightly open. She can hear two men talking as she peers closer and peeks inside, she sees Joseph, Zechariah, and a man she has never seen before. "Enyalius I told you to not speak on that matter anymore; we will figure it out but speaking of it at gatherings is no need to stir up panic", says Joseph with great frustration. "Need I remind you Joseph I'm just as much an Elder as you are; even if your title is Grand Elder our powers are still equal", says Enyalius with anger. Luna begins to look confused, "Elders what're they talking about?"; "Regardless Enyalius you're not going to the forbidden Lands; heading into enemy territory is a suicide mission you do understand that?", says Joseph as he sits in his chair. Enyalius slams his hands onto Joseph's desk, "DONT SPEAK DOWN ON ME AS IF I'M A CHILD JOSEPH, I KNOW OF THE RISKS ALREADY; I WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO SIT HERE AND BILITTLE ME OVER AND OVER AGAIN!!!", Luna so distracted by the conversation that Enyalius slamming on the table startles her and she gasps. Luna covering her mouth hoping she caught the noise fast enough before anyone could notice, she looks up at the door and sees Enyalius walking towards her; "WHO IS THERE!?", Enyalius shouts as he swings open the door. No one is at the door, so Enyalius begins sniffing swinging his head back and forth, left to right. He closes the door behind him all the way, "It seems your little companion came to pay us a little visit Joseph". Joseph looks at Zechariah, "What were you thinking Zack, do you understand your little stunt could have ruined everything?"; "I'm sorry Dad I was just thinking that she will know about everything soon, why not let her find out sooner than later", Zechariah says trying to calm his father down. "THATS NOT A DECISION FOR YOU TO MAKE ZACK!!!", says Joseph while slamming his fist down onto his desk; "Despite your sons' incompetence you need to decide, will you help me Joseph in stopping the, "Dark Ones" scourge?", says Enyalius leaning onto Joseph's desk. "I'm sorry Enyalius we can't just run in there hoping everything goes fine; with that said old friend I'm going to have to forbid going into the, "Star Sand lands", says Joseph sitting back into his chair folding his arms. Enyalius stands up straight and begins walking towards the office opening the door, "I don't need your permission to do what I want with my pack Joseph; I was really hoping you'd join me like the old days", then Enyalius walks off from the office. "ENYALIUS WAIT!!", Joseph yells out; That idiot never thinks just acts on his own; Zack, I need you to keep what was said here a secret from Luna, under no circumstance do you say anything to her about any of it", Joseph says while rubbing his brow. ' "I understand Dad I won't say anything to her without your say so", Zechariah says then leaves Joseph's office and closes the door behind him.

Zechariah begins walking towards Lunas room thinking about what Enyalius was saying about the "Dark Ones"; "I really hope Dad knows what he's doing about all this; I don't think Enyalius was right how to go about it, but I also don't think we should just sit around waiting doing nothing either", Zechariah says to himself deep within his thoughts. When Zechariah makes it to Lunas room, he can hear a lot of shuffling around; "Just A minute please", says Luna fumbling around in her room. Luna opens the door and smiles, "Good morning, Zack how're you doing?", says Luna trying to hide that she is out of breath; "Are you ready to start today, Luna?", says Zechariah folding his arms leaning on the door frame. "Yeah, I am Zack; what's first on the agenda for today?", says Luna grabbing her purse and putting on her shoes. As they both begin walking towards the exit of the manor, "Alright we have to head back into New York and begin my photo shoot first; once I show you my daily routine, I will let you handle the scheduling how you see fit", says Zechariah walking into the car. Just as Zechariah opens the car door for Luna, Enyalius walks past them both speaking to a group of 8 individuals; as they were walking towards the woods Zechariah and Enyalius make eye contact. Luna was almost in the car but then she notices Zechariah staring at something, she stands back out of the car and sees Enyalius she begins thinking to herself, "That's the guy from Josephs office from earlier; what's he doing over there?". Enyalius makes eye contact with Luna and then walks into the forest, Luna then speaks out asking Zechariah, "Who was that Zack?". "It's just a very close friend of my fathers", says Zechariah with concern washing all over him; "Are you sure Zack? You look very concerned for his well-being almost like something might happen", says Luna with a worried look. With that question and remark towards Zechariah, he turns his head towards Luna with irritation visible on his face, "I'm sorry Zack did I say something I shouldn't have?", says Luna with confusion. "It's nothing Luna let's just get going", Zechariah says while taking a deep breath, while still holding onto the car rear door for Luna to get inside. "So, this is everything that we will be going over today; once we head over to the office building, we will be going down to the model floor first, after that we will be heading to A meeting about A new ad that will be on TV soon, and then finally after that; we will be going to the filming floor to do some recordings for the movie", says Zechariah fixing his tie in a back seat mirror of the limo. "Uh huh", says Luna writing everything down as Zechariah was explaining it, with a great nervous look on her face; "I will be counting on you today Luna so make sure you pay close attention to everything that is said and done", says Zechariah trying to help relax Luna. Even though Zechariah is saying all this, Luna is still nervous and worrying she might mess up on today's job; "here you go Luna have a little drink try to relax a little bit, I'm not expecting you to do A perfect job on your first day so just think of this as training", says Zechariah pouring a small glass of Champaign. Luna took the small glass and took some sips, slowly but surely calming her nerves and finally they have arrived at the Mason corp building. "Here we are Luna, let's try and enjoy today as much as possible", says Zechariah getting out of the limo while the driver is holding the back door open for them. Zechariah holds out his hand to help Luna out of the limo, she takes his hand and steps out of the vehicle; looks at Mason corp tower and takes a deep breath, "Ok, I'm ready Zack", says Luna full of determination and confidence. Luna, and Zechariah begin making their way to the elevator, but along the way A bunch of women are giving Luna A stare of disgust. Luna is ignoring the looks, but Zechariah notices all of it, once they make it onto the elevator Zechariah puts his hand around Luna's waist and pulls her close, and begins to smile as all the women gets even more pissed at the sight they just witnessed. Luna completely flustered pushes Zechariah away, "What was that all about?", says Luna cheeks flushed with red; "I hate the sight of jealousy on a woman's face it's an ugly thing to look at, and seeing as how they were mad that you were with me; it's nothing they can say or do now all they can do is sit there and be even more pissed", says Zechariah with a smile on his face. "You say that now, but what if they spread rumors about us?", says Luna worried about the situation; "Then let them spread I'm not ashamed to have you around Luna and some rumors about us won't change that", says Zechariah giving Luna comfort. Luna puts her head down so Zechariah doesn't see how much she is blushing, but then they arrived to the modeling floor, "Alright Luna let's get this day underway", says Zechariah full of excitement. "Right lead the way Zack", says Luna full of determination and ready to start her work day, they both exit off the elevator to start work.

During the time of Zechariah and Lunas departure in the Limo, Joseph can see everything that is going on from his office he can see Enyalius staring at Zechariah and Luna before walking into the forest. Joseph then walks to his desk, sits in his chair and contemplates on what to do next; he cannot stop his friend from doing what he wants be he can't stand the thought of him going out there alone. So, Joseph does the only thing he can think of, reaches in his desk drawer and rings a bell, then a figure appears out of a dark corner of the room. "I need you to follow Enyalius, Tabitha you're my most trusted Alpha so... make sure he doesn't sense you at all keep a far enough distance", says Joseph putting the bell back when he got it from. "Yes, sir I'll do so right away", says Tabitha as she disappears back into the shadows; "I really do hope you don't do anything foolish Enyalius", says Joseph with a worried look on his face, while staring out of A window. Meanwhile Enyalius and his pack are traveling through the forest, making their way to the, "Star Sand Lands". Hoping that nothing goes wrong Enyalius stops everyone he's traveling with, " Wait hold on everyone I have something to give you", says Enyalius pulling out 9 rings. "Elder are these what we think they are?", says one of the Betas; "Yes, it is Melvin, these are the Moon Rings of Lada this'll be the first time anyone of you change without the moon", says Enyalius handing each person their own ring. "So, we'll finally have a fighting chance Elder?", says Enyalius's Alpha; "Indeed we will Mavis, this will help us turn the tide on these monsters once and for all", says Enyalius with pure confidence. Everyone begins to cheer as they continue on into the, "Star Sand Lands"; Enyalius also notices that they're being followed, "Everyone keep heading that way we want to make sure we reach the, "Star Sand Lands" before dark", says Enyalius pointing forward in the direction they've been heading in this whole time. Then Enyalius disappears from the rest of the group, "Where did he go, I don't see him anymore", says Tabitha sitting on a tree branch at a 2-kilometer distance; just as she was about to continue following the pack Enyalius rushes Tabitha from her blind spot knocking her out of the tree in mid jump. Tabitha catches herself in the fall doing a somersault on the ground and immediately attack's Enyalius in one fluid motion; blinded by rage at the fact that someone attacked her she doesn't yet realize who she's fighting. Bearing her claws at Enyalius, Tabitha swings with a hook trying to slash at Enyalius's face and neck; dodging backwards from Tabitha's swipe Enyalius then sees that she's about to do a leg sweep he then lifts his leg moving it out of the way, Tabitha doing her leg sweep does a 360 turn and comes up with a forward thrust towards Enyalius's face. Enyalius moves his head to the slight left, doing an elbow lock turning his arm around hers and grabbing Tabitha by the neck, " That's enough child what're you doing all the way out here?", says Enyalius pinning Tabitha on a tree. Tabitha now realizing what's going on, I'm so sorry Elder Enyalius I didn't know it was you sir, says Tabitha with embarrassment; "That's quite a temper for you not to have been able to recognize who I was", says Enyalius as he lets Tabitha go from the tree. "Now tell me why're you here", says Enyalius with frustration; "I'm sorry sir this is all A big misunderstanding I am following the orders my Elder gave me", Tabitha says while bowing down towards Enyalius. While she is explaining everything Joseph said to her, Enyalius looks at her with even more determination to succeed his plan to rid the world of, "The Dark Ones". Enyalius puts his hand onto Tabitha's shoulder, "It's ok child you can stand now... You did the right thing; following the orders of your Elder is absolute so you keep doing what Joseph asked you, and when we succeed in the mission at hand you must inform him of everything you've seen", says Enyalius as he turns towards the direction his pack went and takes off at full speed to continue with the task at hand. "Joseph's going to kill me... So much for keeping my distance", says Tabitha as she holds her head down from the disappointment of failing Joseph. Tabitha began to follow Enyalius and his pack once again, now that she knows that Enyalius is onto her she keeps taking note of everything that is important. Slowly as the sun begins to set Enyalius and his pack makes it to, "The Star Sand Lands"; where they stop at the border before crossing over the sand. "Listen well all of you, our journey is finally going to hit its climax where it will become very dangerous; once we make it to "The Twin Fang Mountain", we'll be sure to keep together at all times", says Enyalius as he turns around to face his pack. "Also, one more thing these rings do allow us to use our powers freely but due to the curse we only have one hour and we can only use these rings once; so be sure to not use it unless I give the signal, for now we set up camp and rest once the moon rises, we will continue", says Enyalius as he walks off from his pack to contemplate what to do next from here. As the moon is slowly beginning to rise Mavis, Enyalius's Alpha begins pacing back and forth and then she remembers that, Enyalius told her Josephs Alpha was sent to follow us and report anything that happens to them. So, she approaches Tabitha to converse with her before having to continue with their mission, "Hi you're Tabitha, right?", says Mavis so she doesn't seem rude"; "I am Tabitha, and you are?", says Tabitha wondering why Mavis came to her. "I'm Mavis I just wanted to ask you A small favor", says Mavis as she takes off A small pendent the shape of an wolfs paw; "What's the small favor Mavis?", says Tabitha wanting to help Mavis as she clearly sees the distress on her face. Mavis hands the pendent to Tabitha and begins explaining the favor, "You see my brother is your beta, he talks about how proud he is for you to be his Alpha and he's happy to be working with the great Joseph and his amazing Alpha; so, could you please tell him I'm to not be able to be around for his big day", says Mavis is a slight look of fear on her face. 'Which beta is your brother? I'll be sure to give this to him and relay the message", says Tabitha as she places the pendent in her pocket; "His name's Anthony, and I'm very grateful to you". Just as Tabitha was about to give her response nighttime fell and Enyalius called to his pack, "Ok everyone our break is over it's time to move on", says Enyalius facing toward, "The Twin Fang Mountain". As the moon raised at its highest peak, the sand began to shine with a white luminescence that sparkled, mirroring of what looked like stars in the night sky, "The Star Sand Lands". Enyalius walking with his pack traveling through the sand, "Be sure you remember what I told you, we're only able to use our powers once so be sure to follow my instructions to the letter", Enyalius says showing his ring to the others. Melvin starts to look worried and asks Mavis, "How strong is Enyalius?"; "Well let's put it like this, it takes 10 betas to take down and Alpha, and it takes 5 Alphas to take down an Elder, says Mavis to reassure Melvin; "So how many, "Dark Ones" can kill and Elder?", says Melvin with curiosity. The question Melvin just asked Fear began washing over Mavis's face, but before she could answer Enyalius yells out to everyone, "WE'RE HERE!!". They approach A dark cave that can barely be seen in, and slowly they begin to enter the cave; " Everyone be sure to stay on your guard", says Enyalius with his eyes turning all pure white; all of his pack did the same with the beta's eyes turning a golden-brown hue, and Mavis eyes turning purple. They continued inside with the walls drenched in blood and the smell of death lingering throughout the cave, and bones of different kinds of species scattered all on the ground. Everyone is walking slowly trying not to step on anything, Melvin trips on a skull and when he falls over someone grabs onto him before he hits the ground. Melvin's eyes open wide as he sees the upper half of an wolfs skull; "Hey be more careful", says the other beta helping Melvin up. "Thanks man", says Melvin when he turns around but no one's there, "Has anyone seen Joshua?" says Melvin with concern on his face just as someone was about to answer something falls from the ceiling in front of Enyalius. Enyalius eyes open wide as he sees Joshua ripped in half on the group in front of him, with his organs hanging out, and lower jaw missing. Enyalius looks forward in anger, and A shadowy figure emerges from the dark barley able to see who it is only torn shorts at knee, the person speaks in A deep stern voice. "You made A mistake coming here Enyalius, you've doomed everyone you brought with you", says the figure as he returns to the shadows no longer visible, to the group he then speaks out, "Kill them all"; Enyalius yells out, "TURN NOW!!!". All of Enyalius's pack begins fighting whatever resides in the shadows, at the time of everything going on in the cave; Tabitha is pacing back and forth at the front of the cave, "I hope everyone is"; before she could finish her statement, she looks towards the cave entrance and begins backing up slowly as everything in her is telling her to run away now. Tabitha begins to her roars, slashing of flesh, and bones breaking; A huge gusts of blood in the air whiffs pass her nose and she begins covering it so that she doesn't smell it anymore. Then Tabitha freezes up as A wolf is thrown out of the cave missing an arm and its lower body, with its organs hanging out and half of its face slashed off. Tabitha's eyes open wide as terror washes over her entire body, and all of her instinct is telling her to flee; with no control over herself Tabitha takes off at full speed heading towards the Mason manor praying to the goddess Lada that she escapes with her life.

During the time of Enyalius and his pack making it to the boarder of, "The Star Sand Lands"; Luna and Zechariah finished their work for today and they begin heading back to the Manor. "So did you have A good feeling for today?", says Zechariah as he pulls his phone from his pocket; "I did Zack, and your acting was phenomenal", says Luna as she gleams with inspiration. "That's great and thank you", says Zechariah just as they make it to the Limo; the driver opens the door for Luna, "You go on ahead in the car first Luna, I have to make A quick phone call", says Zechariah as he begins dialing A number. "Ok Zack, you take your time", says Luna as she sits in the Limo; the driver closes the door and begins to wait on Zechariah to finish his phone call. Zechariah dialed his father's phone number, "Hey Dad, are all the preparation's complete?", says Zechariah with great concern on his face; "YES ZACK THIS IS THE SIXTH TIME YOU CALLED ABOUT IT, STOP CALLING ME AND HURRY UP AND BRING HER HERE!!!", Joseph says yelling with great frustration in his voice, Zechariah looks at the Limo driver knowing he heard his father, Zechariah turns around in embarrassment; "Ok dad we'll see you soon", says Zechariah just before hanging up the phone. Zechariah turns back around facing the Limo driver, "I'm ready to go"; then the driver opens the door for Zechariah, right after that he gets into the vehicle and pulls off towards the manor. Zechariah grabs two glasses and begins to pour the Champaign from earlier, Luna looks towards him and asks, "Is everything ok Zack?". "What do you mean?" says Zechariah as he puts the Champaign back after pouring it; "Well I saw you looked embarrassed about something" says Luna reaching for her glass. Just as Zechariah was about to respond the Limo driver began to snicker; so, Zechariah rolled the window up that separated the front and back of the car. "What was that all about?", says Luna with confusion on her face; "It was nothing at all Luna just forget about it", says Zechariah as he takes A sip of his drink. Luna takes a sip of her drink as well and begins to laugh, "What's so funny Luna?", Zechariah ask with A small chuckle; "It's just that I would never think my life would change this much over such A short amount of time; riding in A Rolls Royce, and A Limo it's all just so exciting", says Luna with a big smile. Zechariah stares at Luna while she's saying this, realizing she has lightened up since the first time they met; from being A complete nervous wreck, to A happier and more relax individual not only that but also how gorgeous she looks. Her hair black as night and silk smooth and thick straightened out from her roots, until you reach the lower part of her hair that is curled to perfection; her dark brown skin milky like chocolate that could melt in your mouth, and her curves in all the right places. Zechariah unable to look away begins to blush, with his heart racing; he has never looked at A woman in this way, just as he was about to speak the limo driver opened the door to let Luna and Zechariah out. The Limo driver holds out his hand and utters, "Welcome home"; "It's feels good to be home", says Luna as she exits the car. The limo pulls off and Luna begins looking around noticing somethings different; Zechariah looks art Luna, "Yes it's all very different", just as Zechariah says that A wool bag is put over Lunas's head and she begins screaming. As Luna is being walked to an unknown location she yells out, "I'M SO SORRY I PROMISE I WON'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPEND TODAY TO ANYONE!!!"; A unknown voice responds, "We already know you won't say anything". Just as Luna was about to scream out for help the hood was pulled off her face and everyone from the manor screams out, "SURPRISE!!"; Luna begins to stare in Awe looking at the decorum of the dining hall. With cream marble flooring and pillars that connects from the floor to the ceiling, with pure gold trimming that runs along the corners of the room, the walls having A velvet decoration to it that gives the room A warmth felling, and A big chandelier that brightens the whole room; looking as if it belongs in a castle. Luna looks up at the welcome sign and sees two long tables, one short table at the head of both tables making it look like an upside-down U; with A big chair that looks like A throne sitting at the short table. "Ok everyone to your spots please", says Joseph while walking to the short table; everyone goes to their seats. Joseph sits at the short table alone in the bigger chair and Zechariah sits at the long table to the right of Joseph's table, "Switch seats with Luna, just for today Zack", says Joseph with A smile; "Ok dad... here you go Luna", says Zechariah as he pulls out the chair closest to Joseph. "Thank you, Zack,", Luna says as she sits in the chair; Luna looks across to the other table and sees that there is one other seat that's close to Joseph that is empty, but on the other side of the chair Tessa is sitting in it with everyone else sitting in the other chairs. Joseph stands from his seat, "Everyone todays A special day, we're here to celebrate the arrival of Luna; she's been a great addition to the house and I hope it continues to be so... CHEERS!!", Joseph says with great excitement. Just then everyone yells, "CHEERS!!!", and begins to drink up; shortly after Joseph claps his hands, "Ok everyone let's eat", everyone begins cheering as the butlers and maids bring out A huge assortment of food. While everyone is eating Luna punches Zechariah in the arm, "What was that for?", says Zechariah with great confusion; "What do you mean why; You scared me half to death with that little stunt Zack", says Luna with frustration. "I'm sorry Luna, but you said you don't too much like parties so I had to think of some way to get you here", Zechariah says with sincerity; Luna then looks at Zechariah, "Next time just grab my hand and walk me to the surprise please"; "Grab your hand huh?", Zechariah says with excitement. Luna now realizing what she just said puts her head down to hide her blushing face, with everyone having A good time the dining hall full of laughter and joy; then Joseph stares towards the dining hall door and so does everyone else as the entire room has just gone completely silent. The manor has become so silent that you almost forget people are around, but then you hear footsteps; the sounds of bare feet slapping the ground and with each step you hear A faint clacking noise. The sound becomes louder the closer it gets to the hall, until finally you see A shirtless man with his skin color looking flushed from his body; his hair pitch black with his eyes matching, his arms black as darkness from the elbow to his fingertips whit black veins coming from where the black parts of his arms are, then his legs with the dark area from his knees down to the tips of his toes and the black veins doing the same thing, and his claws pure white tipped with black. The man then tosses something towards Joseph and stands there covered in blood leaving A trail through the manor floor. Everyone looks at what the man has thrown on the floor, it was A decapitated head of A silver wolf with pure white eyes; then Joseph looks back at the man with pure rage on his face. You sit here feasting while your pack members came and disrespect my home; I grow tired of the foolish attempts on our lives that your people have tried to do against us," says the man with irritation in his voice; Luna staring at the wolfs head begins thinking to herself, "What the hell's going on here?". Then Anthony stands up with anger in his face, "You have the scent of my sister's blood on your hands; WHAT DID YOU DO WITH HER!!!", Anthony says as his eyes begins to change into A golden brown hue. The man then licks the blood from his hands, " She tasted delicious"; from those words Anthony charges at the man blinded by rage. "ANTHONY STOP!!", Joseph yells hopping that it will catch Anthony's attention; The man looks at Anthony with A sinister grin, and in one motion with blinding speed the dodges Anthony's advances from left to right; once the man saw an opening when Anthony threw A jab, the punch was so strong that you can hear it slice through the air. The man was unfazed from Anthony's onslaught that he simply slammed his claws into Anthony's chest creating A shock wave, lifting Anthony into the air with one arm; the man then slams Anthony into the marble flooring that completely shatters beneath them, causing Anthony to cough up blood from the force. Then something catches the man's attention, and he immediately blocks A punch reacting instinctively; the punch was strong enough to push him away from Anthony. The man then says with excitement, "Young lady you're an omega? this is very interesting"; just then Tessa begins to tear up asking Anthony if he's ok, (COUGH)..."The wound won't close, I'm not healing", says Anthony trying to catch his breath. Tessa stands up with her eyes turning A, "Lapis Lazuli" color, her fangs grow slightly longer than the betas; "Come on then", says the man provoking Tessa into a fight even more. "THAT'S ENOUGH TESSA!!!", Zechariah yells out trying to stop Tessa from doing anything foolish. Luna looks at Zechariah with such fear and confusion, just as Zechariah was able to comfort her Tessa yells out, "IT'S NOT ENOUGH"; after those words Tessa begins to run at the man with full speed breaking the marble floor with her feet, just as she grabbed onto the man A shock wave occurred cracking the flooring even more. Then they're in A stand still and the man provokes Tessa even more, "Listen beautiful you have so much potential why not come be with a real man who's more powerful"; with his words alone Tessa becomes furious and her begins to glow brighter, and she starts to push the man towards the wall with the marble flooring tearing up around them. Then Tessa, rams the man into the wall causing his back to cave in the marble wall, the man looks at Tessa with a grin, "Very good, now's my turn"; in one fluid motion the man grabs Tessa by the neck and does A reversal, slamming her into the marble wall then punches her in the gut with so much force the rest of wall shatters behind her. Tessa spits up blood from the punch and was about to collapse; her legs buckle under her and she begins to fall, but before she could hit the ground the man grabs her head smashing into the floor beneath her feet rendering her unconscious. Jospeh stands up in yells with A monstrous voice, "BANE!!!"; then the man looks at Joseph, "Sit back down old man before I kill every last person here", Bane says with anger tightening his grip on Tessa's skull. Joseph sit's back down, and Bane let's Tessa go standing back up; "I smell that you have A human here", says Bane as his gaze goes towards Luna. Zechariah stands in front of Luna to redirect Bane's attention to him, "Calm down Zechariah, no need to be so fired up"; Bane says with A slight snicker, he then looks towards Joseph, "You better get your pack members under control, because next time they come and disrespect my home me coming here will be the least of your worries", says bane as he leaves the dining hall. Luna is frozen in place shacking uncontrollably from her fear; Joseph rushes over to Anthony as he's bleeding from his wound profusely. Joseph begins yelling, "HANNAH!! GO GET THE MEDICS HGURRY!!, AND SOMEONE CHECK ON TESSA!!!"; just as Zechariah was about to go check on Tessa, Luna grabs his hand stopping him in his tracks. Zechariah looks at Luna and sees how scared she is, he then looks towards Joseph, DAD!!, I NEED TO GET LUNA OUT OF HERE!!", Zechariah says leading Luna out of the dining hall. "I understand Zack, get going", says Joseph; just then A woman dressed in white and red rushes past Luna and Zechariah. "Let me take a look Joseph, this isn't good he has wolfsbane all over his wounds we need to get him and Tessa to the medical area", says the medic. One of the betas yells out, "YOU HEARD HER!!", they all rush to help; mean while Zechariah and Luna are walking to Lunas room, "What in god's name was that back there Zack?", says Luna with fear and confusion. Zechariah grips her hand A little tighter; "I really do wish I could tell you but I can't right now I promise I will soon", says Zechariah as he begins to walk faster. They made it to Luna's room and just before Zechariah was about to open the door, Luna then pulls away from Zechariah, "WHAT THE HELL YOU MEAN YOU'LL TELL ME LATER!!"; Zechariah looks at Luna, "This isn't the time right now, people are hurt and everyone needs help with clean up". Zechariah pulls Luna close and kisses her forehead, "I promise I will tell you just not now", then Zechariah walks off; Luna walks into her room and sits on the bed rubbing her head, "What in the hell did I get myself into?". Meanwhile, Bane is walking back into the cave of, "The Dark Ones"; he then walks into A den with four individuals feasting on A corps. Bane walks past the four and sit in his throne, "How does Enyalius taste?", Bane asks the individuals while slouching in his throne. "He tastes magnificent Bane; I can feel his power coursing through me", says the man on the left; "I'm glad you're enjoying it Michael", Bane says crossing his legs. "Why must I share with these weaklings Bane, I deserve my own power so I can become more powerful", says man on the left; "What do you mean Corbin, my love has graciously given us the chance to feast on this elder and you're being very ungrateful", says the woman sitting in the middle. "I'm not being ungrateful Beatrix I'm just stating facts", says Corbin as he takes another chunk out of the corpse of Enyalius; "Regardless stop your whining and eat before Sharell eats everything", says Beatrix as she looks at Sharell with disgust. "Stop staring at me unlike you lot I'm not wasting my food", says Sharell as she takes another bite; "All of you stop your squabbling we have a feast that are fit for royalty, but being kings and queens isn't enough anymore I want more; I want to become gods", says Bane as he stands from his throne laughing maniacally; Corbin then yells, "I CAN'T WAIT TO BE A GOD AS WELL!!!". Bane, Beatrix Sharell, Corbin, and Michael all look towards the ceiling with sinister laughter, with the sounds of chewing and crack bones you can see blood, organs, and other body parts falling; you can then see dark shadowy figures that look to be in the thousands and they're all seen moving around. Amidst all the laughter there are faint screams coming from beneath the feasting den, Tabitha is chained up beaten and bruised she try's to scream louder, "HELP!!! HELP!!!".
