In the midst of the deep forest and down below the well which was dark and horrified, Hawaii awoken to find nothing but insects and spiderwebs around. He stood up quickly shaken and scared of where exactly could he be at. He tried to use his vampire hearing skills to listen around and the only voices which came through were of small bugs and echo of his own breathing.
"What the fuck?" He cursed and cleared himself of the dust and then he started climbing up of the well to no significance until he was tired and shifted into a bat, then he flew away. All vampires had particular ability to transform into bats but not for more than five minutes and when his minutes came up, he dropped down to the ground hurting his spine.
He grunted in pain trying to get up but then he felt a hand on his back. It was Antonio's. "Get up!" Antonio ordered him and Hawaii slowly got up. He was struggling to breath and his skin was bleeding.
"What's going on with you?" asked Antonio.
"I don't know...I don't know but...he has her. Your brother has my girlfriend"
"Well well well, he must be planning to do the ritual tonight since it'll be full moon. Damn!"
Hawaii tried to get up but failed, he reached for Antonio's leg and hang on to it "Save her... Save Alice as you promised!"
"I didn't promise anything. But I can't allow him to tap into his werewolf gene, he'll kill everyone I know"
Antonio took Hawaii's hand and suddenly pulled him back up. Then he immersed his right arm inside his stomach, Hawaii gasped just at the entrance and his eyes widened up. "Easy now, easy..." He said as he searched inside his stomach and took out a piece of vervain plant.
Hawaii fell down heavy coughing blood and he felt like he was dying.
"What's that?" He asked Antonio who was holding the plant.
"Vervain. Such Nazar's tricks into killing vampires slowly without them knowing it. You owe me one Julian you would've been dead in the next hour"
"Fuck..."
"You'll find your way back?" He asked Hawaii who nodded but still grunting in pain. Antonio vanished leaving him behind.
******************
At 8:30 pm the moon had yet to reach its apex but it was close. Miraj arrived at the location she was given by Nazar with her pack of wolves all ready to protect him from anyone who would dare stop him during the ritual.
They were in the middle of the woods with a huge circle of fire sealed by magic surrounding Nazar, Jasmine and tied up Alice and Amiya. When Nazar saw them he got out of the circle and walked to Miraj. "Hello beautiful" he said with a smile and Miraj knelt down quietly as if kneeling before a King and the pack did the same.
"I pledge to protect you, to stand by you" said Miraj. Alice and Amiya looked upon each other shocked with how Miraj betrayed them and seek out their enemy.
Nazar picked her up with a kiss and then he directed them. He directed the whole pack to form a circle outside of the one sealed with magic fire and then start to transform as soon as the full moon reaches its apex. And that took less than twenty minutes before they all started to experience the symptoms of turning into a wolf.
"Let me go..." Alice struggled to get out of the ropes which held her close to Amiya's. Jasmine looked back at her, she was holding her grimoire and a Lunara's tombstone. She didn't even say anything.
"He's going to kill me Miya. Set us free"
"I can't Alice. These ropes have tied my magic, I can't do anything"
Jasmine overhead their conversation and she interrupted them "Not only the ropes sweetheart. It's the whole circle. No one can escape and none has a power than me inside this. So yeah you are trapped and be silent I'm trying to focus"
"What are you doing? Why would you help him become a hybrid knowing fully well he'll wreck this Earth" Amiya asked Jasmine.
"I don't expect you to understand"
"You are in love with him..."
Jasmine turned back and stared at Amiya with such fiery eyes full of anger. Then she heard "Are you ready?" from Nazar and she grabbed her attention back to Nazar and replied "I'm ready when you are my Lord"
"You don't have to do this" Amiya intervened again trying to convince Jasmine.
But then Nazar walked back in the circle and just when he got in, the whole of team A like what he referred were all there. Nina, Antonio, Hawaii and Gladys all stared at him as if he was about to explode. But couldn't get closer because of the pack of werewolves that guarded Nazar. They had all turned and growled angrily just waiting for an order to attack.
"Wolves..." Nina trembled just at the sight holding Antonio close. He looked at her and she just realized she can't do that so she took out her arm and embraced Hawaii's.
"Bravo! Bravo for making it here. Are you all ready to witness history?" said Nazar proudly and with a smile, Hawaii without thinking he raced towards him and intended to pass off the wolves but Miraj jumped up on him and she nearly bit him before Nina saved him from her.
Chaos erupted and it didn't benefit none of them at that time. The wolves growled louder and angrier than before, their howling could reach all over Warlington and that scared all of them as they begin to take a step back.
"I'm ready, my Lord" said Jasmine as the fire kept getting bigger and more hotter as she sat still with her legs crossed chanting spells.
"Well shall we?" Nazar turned back to Alice and cut off the rope but still tied Amiya to it.
He picked her up quickly as she cried and seemed helpless. He opened his fangs and looked at his enemies as he bit Alice's neck, then he began sucking blood straight from her veins and then he abruptly stopped and pushed Alice away. Poor Alice she fell hard on the sand right just in front of Hawaii and he felt powerless not being able to do anything to save his girlfriend.
With blood sprayed all over his mouth and some dripping on his shirt. And his fangs out Nazar looked more of a villain than ever. He looked at Gladys and said "Gladys! You are no match for my witch! Give up and save your granddaughter or watch how I tear her limb by limb"
"I will kill you Nazar" Gladys shouted.
"When? After this ritual I can't be killed" He laughed out loud and then Jasmine joined him in the laugh. Gladys nearly took a step forward before Miraj barked at her and she knew better than to fight a werewolf who is unaffected by magic.
Jasmine gave Nazar the leaf and he took it, chewed it into pieces and then just before he dropped down Jasmine held him down and gave him water. "What's happening?" Nina asked.
"He chew the leaf of blood and magic. From now on he'll start to undergo a transformation" Antonio explained
"Into a wolf?" Gladys asked.
"Yes but only if he..."
Gladys finished Antonio's sentence "Touches me and grabs it"
"Gladys don't do it! Let's form a plan" Nina intervened and Hawaii joined her "Let's think about this" he said.
"I can reach out to the witch. I can't be killed by a werewolf bite, I will take down the witch but don't let him Gladys. He can't be a hybrid" Antonio said while biting his jaws. His emotions were all over the place.
Nazar recovered slowly from the toxic leaf and stood up although he was in spaghetti legs. He grabbed Amiya suddenly and he called out "I will snap her neck like a twig. Come forward Gladys"
Antonio intervened and moved closer to the wolves circle, trying to get close to Nazar "She's not coming to you and you won't kill her" he said breathing heavily and for a moment he had an eye to eye gaze with his brother.
The wolves were barking continuously surrounding Antonio waiting for an order from Nazar to bite. But Nazar didn't give them an order and he just looked at his little brother and shook his head "How pathetic of you Antonio. Standing against me once more. This is how you correct your wrongs?" He shouted at Antonio.
"We don't have the time Nazar. I can't hold it anymore" screamed Jasmine who was holding Lunara's tombstone with her eyes shut and looking vulnerable. Antonio knew the spell that bounded the circle would break any moment as Jasmine grew weaker and he could kill her. But Nazar was ahead of him and he got out of the circle holding Amiya and leaving Jasmine alone with a fainted Alice inside.
"If I move just one step further then she will be dead. And what for Gladys? You are ready to save these pathetic souls who did nothing for you rather than a girl you raised up. Such a pity but I will always find ways to tap into my gene" said Nazar looking desperate but at the same time meaning what he was saying.
Antonio screamed at Nazar "She won't do it! I dare you Nazar..."
"Shut up Antonio"
"Don't listen to him Gladys" Nina said trying desperately to convince Gladys who was confused and not knowing what to do at all.
Nazar kept moving closer and closer to her while the wolves followed and circled him. Amiya was helpless and there was nothing she could do, Jasmine had tied her hands with ropes supplied with herbs which prevented a witch from practicing magic. Gladys looked at her granddaughter and even though she wasn't really hers by blood but she raised her since she was an infant. Amiya was her baby girl and her best friend who kept her happy and alive on most occasions.
She didn't even need anyone's attention nor their advices. She closed her eyes and opened the portal to Lunara's world, Antonio shouted at her, Nina tried to reach out but she threw her away along with Hawaii by just pointing a finger at them. Nazar quickly dropped Amiya and touched Gladys shoulders and in seconds he fell down growling and howling. Gladys closed the portal, shifted into an eagle and carried Amiya away. They all just looked as she took off with her granddaughter.
"Yes! Yes..." Nazar screamed loudly as his bones broke and he embraced the pain of turning into a wolf gladly and with a smile. Antonio looked on as his brother turned into a wolf with a shock on his face. His bones broke as the pack guarded him severely and looked on as he transitioned. But then the transition took another stage, Nazar grew wings. They started to grow slowly breaking everything on its way until he transitioned fully into a wolf with wings. Miraj couldn't believe what she was seeing, it was all real just like how Nazar told her and since they were linked she experienced the same thing as wings grew and forced to come outside of her body.
She fell down grunting in pain and screaming loudly. In five minutes she was set to fly and so was Nazar, they both took off into the sky leaving everything behind as they growled and seemed to have a lot of fun with it. Alice woke up not knowing where she was and the sight of Nazar flying away alongside Miraj came out blurry to her but she knew everything had gone wrong.
Antonio turned back to Jasmine with a gaze full of questions and confusions. Jasmine smiled knowing fully well how they took everyone by surprise. "What did you do?" He asked Jasmine. She didn't reply back instead she vanished into thin smoke. Just when Antonio wondered around he found out he was the only one left behind. The fire had went down and darkness took over, his worst nightmare came true. His big brother finally got what he wanted and he knew what was in store for him, he took two deep breathes and knelt down screaming his lungs out.
