chapter 4 ansewrs?

As Pappy speaks, suddenly they hear a voice yell, "We're under attack!" The old man says, "We'll discuss this further once the attack is over and such."

Eve nods.

Pappy says angrily, Let's make these bloodsuckers retreat," Cedric and Pappy shift into werewolves and Eve says, "Well I can't shift, but I still have these beauties," as she puts her hand on her dagger and pulls her crossbow off of her back. Eve grins wickedly and says getting all giddy, "OH, this'll be FUN!"

Cedric says, "Ok, how is she so psycho murderer seeming and where'd she get that psycho streak from?" Pappy says, "No idea." Cedric and Pappy go out attacking Vampires. Eve goes out loading her crossbow and shooting nonstop arrows square in the hearts of Vampires.

Eventually, a Vampire man with dark hair and midnight blue eyes gets to Eve when she's not looking. He knocks the crossbow out of her hand with a gust of wind as he laughs, "What's a pretty little lady doing in a village full of mutts?"

Eve pulls out her dagger and says, "I'm not just pretty you know."

The Vampire says, "Still a weak little human nonetheless."

Eve says, "First of all I'm not 'weak', second of all I'm no 'human' you bloodsucking demon!" Eve growls, her eyes glowing and some kind of light or energy emits from her body. Unbeknownst to her the amulet fell off.

She realizes shortly after and scrambles around for it and just as she finds it and is picking it up the Vampire kicks it to the side and says innocently, "Oops."

Werewolf fangs and claws begin to grow from her hands and teeth as she is in transformation process and she kicks the Vampire right in the gut sending him flying into a nearby tree

The Vampire coughs and laughs, "I see, your one of those disgusting mutts too! It'll make it so much easier to kill you." Eve growls, "We're NOT mutts!" Eve snatches up her amulet nearby and puts it on as she lunges at him with her dagger and he says, "Oh this little mutt's a fighter," he pulls out his own blade deflecting Eve's blows.

As the metal of their blades clash, Eve looks him in the eye and says, "I'm only gonna give you one chance, you disgusting creature, leave along with your other demon friends or die, the choice is yours."

The Vampire looks Eve back in the eye and says, "I'd like to see you try. You're feisty, it's cute."

Eve sees the Vampires' eyes glow a metallic rusty red and sees a golden string of light of some kind reflect in them as they both have dropped their guards temporarily. Eve realizes he's distracted and stabs her knife into his gut.

He groans and clutches his side and yells, "Damn it!" The knife hangs there and he starts burning or so Eve thinks. Eve pulls the knife from him but suddenly he's behind her and just in a split second of time she turns around and he says, "You're fast and smart for realizing it was a little trick." Eve says "It was a copy of you wasn't it."

He grins wickedly, "Oh no not even. Actually it was just one of my associates."

Eve says, "Are you so much of a coward that you can't face me without using a human shield?" He looks at himself and says, "Oh look at that, you cut through my shield and managed to get me, what a ruthless, savage, and gorgeous woman, its hot really."

Eve says, "Shut up before I kill you asshole."

The Vampire laughs and says, "Well goodbye, my beautiful. Something tells me our paths will cross again." Eve says, "Oh no you don't! You're not fleeing!" He smirks as he disappears and he's gone in a puff of smoke. Eve groans, "Ugh! Shit!" Eve mutters, "But what's up with his eyes?" Eve shrugs and mutters with disgust, "Nevermind, chances are the filthy thing was going to bite me."

Eve goes to find Cedric and the old man. Eve finds Cedric helping the old man up and walks over asking, "Is he gonna be ok?"

Cedric replies, "Most likely, he's a tough old geezer."

Eve takes the other side of the old man and carries him with Cedric and they drop him off at his tent in his bed. Cedric sighs, "This is literally the second attack on the village in a week. Eve says, "No wonder the village looked like it did."

Cedric says, "Yeah, we were in the process of rebuilding it. Now all that hardwork is destroyed."

Eve says, "What if you move the village with the pack?"

Cedric says, "This has been our territory for centuries, not many would be willing."

Eve sighs, "Well then, I'll help as much as I can."

Cedric says, "No, you need to return."

Eve says, "Not a chance, if this is my pack I need to help and make up for the time I wasn't there to help."

Cedric mumbles, "So much like Mom, well both of them really."

Eve says, "I heard that, what do you mean, 'Mom', my parents are dead and I have no family aside from my adoptive parents."

Cedric says, "That's where you're wrong."

Eve says, "What are you talking about?"

Cedric says, "Well, old man Pappy was gonna tell you anyway."

Eve asks, "Tell me what?"

Cedric says, "Let me finish would you!"

Eve says, "I'm waiting."

Cedric says, "I'm your brother."

Eve gives him a blank expression. "You being serious?" Which Eve can tell isn't the reaction Cedric was expecting.

Cedric says, "Yes, do I look like I'm not being serious?"

Eve says "No, but it's not every day you hear something like that, plus this is a lot to take in."

Cedric says, "It's all good, that's normal," he ruffles Eve's hair and she kicks him in the shin. "Do that again and I won't be so nice about it."

Cedric says, "Ouch, geez aggressive, why can't a brother be happy to see his sister after years?"

Eve ignores him and he says, "Ok, no answer. Well I'll show you where you can sleep."

Eve nods and follows Cedric as he shows her a tent and she goes in and goes to sleep.

*

Eve wakes up and finds Cedric already instructing people on how to rebuild things so she walks over and says, "How can I help?" Cedric says, "Lots of things really, here's a list that you can start with,"and he hands her a list. Eve says "That's alot, but I think I can do it," as she heads out in search of supplies.

*

Hours later Eve finishes gathering things and bringing them back to the werewolf village. Cedric says, "Thanks, you should probably go back now though, we don't want them sending out a search party or something like that."

Eve says, "I guess, but I haven't gotten the answers I need, you promised me answers you know."

Cedric says, "I know I did, but you and I both have other things we need to do instead."

Eve sighs, "All alright, fine, but answer me this, who's older if we're really siblings?"

Cedric says, "I'm not actually sure."

Eve asks, "How not?!"

Cedric says,"Because we're twins."

Eve says, "Are you being for real?"

Cedric says, "Yes dummy, we literally have several resemblances."

Eve says, "Well excuse me for not knowing I didn't even know I had biological family that was still alive."

Cedric says, "Ok, fine sorry."

Eve says, "It's not your fault."

Cedric says, "Do you really have no memory of our childhood?" Eve says, " I don't know, I have 0 memories of you yeah, why do you keep asking?"

Cedric says, "Because, Mom and Dad and us both were together for a while."

Eve says, "Well, the only memories I have are of my adoptive parents and training, well and Mom and Dad being murdered by Vampires, though you weren't anywhere nearby."

Cedric says, "That's because I was out in the woods."

Eve asks, "Doing what?"

Cedric replies, "Mom and Dad sent me out to go hunting and so I did. I came back and they were dead and I ran away because I was scared and so old man Pappy found me and brought me back here to our pack, the Starfall pack."

Eve says, "The old man, he's our grandfather, isn't he?"

Cedric says, "Yup, though you NEED to leave. We don't want you getting executed."

Eve says, "Oh, right....." She gulps and says a rushed, "Bye! I'll be back when I can."

Eve rushes back to the village in hopes that no one would notice her disappearance. She scales the walls and goes in the house through her room window (btw this is in like medieval times in a fantasy world and they have a sort of hall house but not a huge one more or less a smaller one though it has modern language cuz idk medieval terms and has a modern spin on it)

Celia comes in and busts the door open saying "EVANGELINE WARREN, WHERE WERE YOU?!"

Eve mutters "Shit" as Celia continues giving Eve a death glare. Eve says, "I'm dead, aren't I?" Celia says ,"You did break a major law,  it being, 'Not to leave the village without permission from the chief! Or at least us! Let alone when it was supposed to snowstorm!"

Eve says, "Rules are meant to be broken!"

Eve says, "Besides it didnt."

Celia says, "Not these one's! You are awfully lucky Harold and I could even cover for you!"

Celia adds, "It could have though!"

Eve says, "I can't help it! I don't even know who I AM ANYMORE!" Celia says, "You're Eve Warren, a Vampire hunter and a well trained one at that!"

Eve says, "Really? Is that who I really am?"

Celia says, "Yes."

Eve says, "Why didn't I know I still had a biological family?"

Celia says, "We did it to keep you safe. No one knows but Harold and I, and if the village knew, the chief would probably have someone watching you 24/7 and eventually kill you if he found out you left without his knowledge and were in contact with your family."

Eve says, "I wish you would have at least told me! I'm not even human Celia!"

Celia sits by Eve and Eve turns her back to her. Celia says, "I'm sorry, we thought we were doing the right thing." Eve says "Whatever."

Celia says, "On a different note Eve, you and I both know you need to control your werewolf abilities."

Eve says grumpily, "What makes you think that?"

Celia says, "On your birthday when we were testing your skills."

Eve says irritated, "Well, I can't do that now, can I, If I can't leave the village!?"

Celia says, "Calm down Eve and let me finish, would you?!"

Eve says angrily her eyes changing colour to a glowing purple, "Fine."

Celia says, "I was thinking Harold and I could come up with having sent you on your first long-running mission as the cover. Well first getting the chief's approval."

Eve asks forgetting her rage, "Really?" Celia nods. Harold walks into Eve's room and says, "You have lots of potential Eve, we can't let it go to waste by not letting you train with it, and no one in this town could teach you the Wolfy things."

Eve sighs, "Don't say, 'wolfy' things," Harold asks, "Why not?"

Eve says, "It sounds weird."

Harold says, "Ok, fine."

Eve says, "Is someone gonna hear our discussion?"

Harold say, "No, the walls are far too thick."

Eve hugs Celia and Harold saying, "Thanks, both of you, I love you both!"

Harold says, "We know "

Celia says, "And we love you too. It's why we do what we do and want to help you with this, to help you find out who you are."

Harold says, "We don't care what you are, to us, you are our daughter no matter what."

Eve smiles warmly, "Thanks Mom, Dad!" Eve says, "Now are you gonna go arrange the 'mission' for me?"

Harold and Celia laugh.

Harold says, "Yes ma'am."

Celia says, "Let's go then, for all we know the fate of the world could depend on it."

Harold says, "I'm not so sure about that my dear, but yes let's go."

Eve says, "Though before you go, wanna return something for me?" They nod and Eve hands them the journal from her parents and Eve says, "I know, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have taken it."

Harold says, "I'm glad you did, you deserve to know."

Eve says perplexed, "Really?! Uh thanks, though it didn't have much information in it as some pages were torn out."

Celia says, "Of course they were."

Harold says, "We'll see you later Evie." Eve nods.

They leave and Eve flops into her bed and mutters, "I hope this plan works out. Ugh, tomorrow's probably gonna be busy."
