The woman approached, a very familiar face, her red locks were radiant thanks to the sun shining behind her, her curved figure was one of temptation like the gods of the Aura Sphere.
"Sunny?" Oliver asked surprised to see her there, he knew that it was painful to see and talk about Damon.
"Safiya" Damon muttered to himself, her amber eyes pierced his soul in a tough way. he could not explain.
"Gentlemen." Safiya, the Everlasting Sun, replied." Snow Storm, I'm heading North with you. I wanna have fun."
"it's too dangerous Safiya." Damon approached her locking stares with her. " We need you here."
"No , I'm going out there and avenge my pups." she teared up trying to contain her will to hit Damon. " I need to go. take me or I'll find my way there. they killed my pups and destroyed everything i knew as home and my safe place, Dont you dare stopping me Damon. "
"Sunny, listen to..." Oliver gets interrupted when Damon lays a hand on his shoulder.
"no, she'll come." Damon spoke gently, Caleb's jaw dropped when he heard Damon not willing to argue with Safiya. "I can't afford to lose time." he walked out of the stables, unlocking his car. A black Volvo S90, that once he approached he could see his own reflection, he signed and opened the door.
"Europe, is too big for just 4 different packs." Oliver said trying to chit chat as he got in the back seat, and Safiya got in the front seat with Damon creating a awkward and tense situation.
"it is." Safiya replied after a few moments of silence. "all because of a love story." Safiya tried to lift the mood. "alarick and Lumina." she giggled turning back to Oliver. "Do you have any idea what gods really look like? " Oliver swallowed whole. "you're ok?" Oliver tried not to get nervous and spoil everything for Safiya.
"you'll know the answer to that soon. Wolves in need get to see gods quite often. I know I did." Damon said showing his mark of a very realistic moon. this mark didnt look like a tattoo more like a scar, it was a dark red with some purple areas.
"when? How? What? you're a Champion? since when?" Safiya was rather shocked.
"you had fainted by then." Damon spoke and Safiya hugged her knees on the seat.
Her big amber coloured eyes stared at Damon with curiosity, "tell me everything."
"when you were attacked. I didn't run like my sister had requested. I simply hid away. whilst your father and my sister were shouted at by heating wolves who just cared that someone was killed over mating. " Safiya's eyes saddened as Damon spoke, "your anxiety was so strong that when I touched your shoulder you've fainted."

A few years ago, young Damon held Safiya in tears and fear as she was unconscious in his arms, a bright light erupted and a tan skin lady approached him her long curly hair mesmerized his dark eyes.
"such a sweet boy you are. you remind me of my son Alarick. My poor dear don't be scared. " Luna's motherly voice smoothed Damon's pain. "My mysterious soul child, the forbidden Love tale repeats. "
"where is Amber? Amber!" Damon shouted not knowing who Luna was and her intentions.
"my sweet Damon. I'm Luna, Goddess of the Moon and Mother of the Aura Sphere." Luna sat next to Damon playing with his dark hair. "I know what you did seemed pretty wrong, but there's the bad actions for a greater good that should be forgiven. "
"I I I killed someone..." Damon had never shown so much fear to anyone not even Amber had seen Damon so scared.
"A man who broke the principles of the bloodline of a pack. A Law older than his pack has ever gotten. Alarick delivered you to Mya in his image an astonishing print of himself in you. She had prayed so much for your health throughout a complicated pregnancy. The way that you were loved since birth made you understand that family is important. You know Amber loves this girl in your arms, and your love and admiration for her showed no boundaries. " Luna spoke using water on Safiya's head her soft hands cared Safiya gently, " Your deed changed the wolf world who now I believed they forgot my principles. Damon Alarick. Your soul may be dark and mysterious but your heart is pure. " her eyes glowed white as she touched Damon's neck making him groan in a stinging burning pain. " By the moon and the Wolves who owl at it. A new Champion of the Moon. "

Damon finished the story with his eyes glued to the road. Had been a few hours already Damon couldn't sleep but his passengers were. Oliver had turned into a white coated wolf snuggling on his tail in the back seat. Safiya hugged her faux fur silver coat. As they were near the boarder to Spain Damon stopped for petrol and the bipping of the petrol value woke Safiya up. She looked at Damon through the window somehow feeling safe for once, it had been a long time since she felt like that. She got out of the car getting her jacket on her shoulders.
"Someone is well awake." Safiya joked yawning, Damon simply nodded, "I'm heading inside to grab us some food and water."
"I was thinking about getting some fast food. " Damon said pulling out the petrol pump out of the full tank. "Maybe the West has some. has been a while since I've been there. "
Safiya giggled, "I havent been her since Amber's birthday. if we get to the UK maybe. But... we'd make a detour. a massive one.' she leaned on the pump for a second waiting for Damon to come with her inside the store. "why didn't you come with us? I know that Amber wanted you there so bad."
"if you had stayed awake for the story in the car you'd know about it." Damon walked to the service station grabbing some water and food.
"well maybe later..." Safiya played with her hair and followed him.
The Clerk seemed very nervous behind the counter as his eyes glanced to the other side of some shelves. Damon's size was something to call people's attention, he was beefy and muscular. Damon ignored it and stepped forward to the counter where the clerk shook his head in tears. Safiya took a step back and stayed on Damon's back in case something happened.
A skinny individual with a black mask jumped over the shelves with a glock .9 Damon stared at the guy unbothered.
"Give my everything you got Faggot!" the guy shouted pointing the gun at Damon's neck.
"My name ain't Faggot. my name is Damon. " As soon as he said his name everything went pitch black and after a few seconds the guy was crying on the floor like a scared child crawling out of there. The Clerk was totally clueless on what happened. " bomba número 7 por favor. " Damon spoke in Portuguese ("Pump number 7 please").
Safiya's eyes glowed, holding her mother's ring and spinned the outer ring to the left, going slowly back in time as a watcher lighting Damon's Dark Veil to see why was the thief so scared for his life. Her sighting was horrendous once she stopped to admire in detail Damon's form of nightmare. She had never seen such a power. replicate on your body a person's bigger fear. Damon's skin was now grey like his skin was decaying and huge bumps of green. The thief was scared of the Living dead depicted in human fiction. Wolves call Vampires, Zombies as a demeanor.
Safiya was strong, but she had never seen such mind manipulation powers. it was her turn to pay and Damon waited patiently by her side and once she was handed her bags Damon took over and carried everything to the car.
