Chapter 31

Kristie P.O.V.

After the... bathroom incident I just laid on my bed without moving an inch.

I wonder what time it is? when was the last time I ate?

...

hmmmm...

I think it was lunch yesterday... yeah

""""Wooooooo!!!""""

Huh? ... It sounds like... cheering?

""""Cade!!! Cade!!! Cade!!! Cade!!!""""

what?

I hurriedly get up from my bed and scurried over to the open window. Peeking out, I froze in place, too shocked to move by the events transpiring on the yard of our once peaceful home.

What greeted me was the scent of blood mixed with grass and soil.

Looking down I the middle of a huge crowd were two silhouettes. One of them was a very familiar man.

I gasped.

Devon!

Scrambling down the stairs with no care whatsoever on how I look. I barged through the doors and passed through the packed crowd.

Cade and Devon were both in fighting positions. Their eyes packed with power, neither one willing to back down.

Devon loudly exhaled as he drew a fast punch to the right side of Cade's face but it was easily parried. Cade, wasting no time struck an open palm to Devon's chin, jolting his head.

With unfocused eyes, Devon fell down limp. And as if it were a mere sport, Cade waited for his opponent to stand up before ferociously launching his next attack.

Although the two boys were similar in age, Cade had obviously surpassed Devon in terms of speed and power.

Using his open palm, he jabbed the tips of his fingers into the junction where Devon's arm connected with his shoulder.

A pop sound was heard before Devon's face scrunched up in pain. But it was obvious in his eyes that he did not lose any willpower, instead it even grew stronger.

Once again he tried to punch Cade but Cade dropped down onto his four limbs. With natural movements, he kicked the back of Devon's knees, making him kneel on the ground.

And finally, using the momentum of the fall, he locked his arm around Devon's neck and strangling him.

However, in the act of doing so, Devon had managed to bring his right foot forward and from this stance, kicked the ground, doing a complete 180 degree flip.

No one knew when but Devon's wolf had completely taken over. With golden glowing eyes, he opened his mouth, presenting to all his continuously growing fangs.

"NOOOOOOOO!!!!" someone screeched.

Turning to see whom it came from. Rose had a furious look as she raised her hands like claws ready to tear Devon apart.

Devon, my body moved on its own. Before I knew it, I had already taken the strike for him.

Three freshly cut wounds had appeared from the base of my neck to the center of my chest. Looking back up, Rose appeared to be shocked... not only her but also those around her.

Something had glimmered at the corner of my eye. A dark blue mist was revolving around Rose's hand which she had used to claw me.

Then I noticed, my wounds had already stared closing up at an irregularly fast pace with golden-like transparent vines sprouting from it.

I felt a morose desolation as I was glared upon by scornful unforgiving eyes. But I understand why, there was a descendant of their enemy right before them whom they had lived with for ten years.

It was like a big strike to their ego as just a few months ago had 4 traitors in their midst which they hadn't even suspected. And now, there was yet another one. But... wait... I'm not one of them now am I?

"W-wait! I can explain-"

"You finally showed your true self, Spawn of Satan!!!" Rose had cut me off

"No! No I'm not! If you would just let me explain then-"

An unknown force had pushed me face down unto the ground. As if gravity had suddenly increased tenfold.

"I'll hold her down, Chain her!!!" Rose Commanded.

Several figures loomed on top of me before all being thrown back a couple of feet.

"She's fighting back. She surely is a spy!!!"

'What? No, that wasn't me!!!' was what I wanted to shout but it seems even my voice won't come out.

A black-purple mist had coiled itself around be and I suddenly felt the pressure dissipate. Just who?-

"Run. Remember the bag." someone had whispered in my head

'Angela? you-'

"No time! go! go!"

Running like the wind, I escaped that crazy house, and dashed away into the forest. Now bag, bag, where was it again?

""I know everything the moon goddess tells me dear and a hint for the future. Have an extra set of clothes preferably a hoodie and baggy jeans, best to already pack it beforehand so I already had a few things ready, just not the clothes. Pack it in a bad I had hidden between the rocks near the lake. When you leave, don't show or tell anyone about Nuntis. Try to be a guy, since they expect a girl. Only become a girl in your house or room. But best if you really don't.""

Right...

It was between the rocks near the lake.

By lake could she possibly mean the one hidden behind the cave-like passage way I found as a child?

It could be, I mean there are no other lakes near here except for that one. I never really thought about it before, but how did she know about it? Could she have known about it before me?

...

She really does know everything huh?

Before rushing to the cave entrance which was covered by thick vines, I jumped up a tree I had marked beforehand. As instructed before, while on the way to the grocery store I had placed a few clothes in a bag up a tree which a marked with a distinct S using some lipstick.

Grabbing the bag I jumped down and proceeded to go to the lake.

0000000000

Already out of breath, I rummaged through a black bag I had retrieved from between the two rocks. Is there any clue as to where I will go now?

My hand hit something that was thin ang rectangular in shape. Taking it out I saw a passport with a few tickets inserted in its pages. There were 2 tickets for trains and 2 for airplanes

Opening the passport I saw my face but... I had short hair and honestly... looked male.

What is this?!

Then I read the name...
