Chapter 21 - The Eyes of an Alpha

(Everyone looks at Air like he's crazy) (Air) Or we don't have to party. (Alex) You just died, again, and you want to party? (Air) It was just a thought. (Jaden) Well, that thought shouldn't be in your head since you died twice. (Quincy) Like I said he can't die. (Aiyana) Why do you keep on saying that? Do you want him to die. (Harmony) Of course he doesn't. Now let's get to the compound. (Jaden) The what?

(30 minutes later) (Kristen) Damn, where are the rooms? (Aiyana) It's like one big room. (Jaden) It used to be a ball room. It still is I guess. Uh, the kitchen is over there. The rooms are upstairs. They already have beds, we just have to choose. (Harmony) Yes, but before we do that we have to do the spell. All I need is another supernatural being to channel. (Jaden) But that's not possible. I'm the only supernatural here. (Harmony) Actually, Air is a supernatural. (Air) Wait, what? (Harmony) You're a doppelgänger. (Air) Ugh, I should had known. (Jaden) What the hell is that? (Alex) Yeah, I never heard of it. (Air) That's because it never happened. I think. A doppelgänger is a twin of a person. That's all I know. (Aiyana) So who's your twin? (Air) The creator of dark magic, Magus. I never thought of it when Magus told me that I looked exactly like him.

(Kristen) Nonsense. How are you his twin if you weren't born over 2,000 years ago? (Air) Uh, hey Siri. What is a doppelgänger? (Siri) A doppelgänger is a biologically unrelated look-alike, or a double, of a living person. In fiction and mythology, a doppelgänger is often portrayed as a ghostly or paranormal phenomenon and usually seen as a harbinger of bad luck. Other traditions and stories equate a doppelgänger with an evil twin. (Quincy) Uh, English please. (Air) Basically, since I'm from the same bloodline as Magus I am the alive, evil, or good twin of him. And that what makes me a supernatural. Being a witch still makes you a human just with magic and having magic doesn't make you a supernatural. But being an identical twin of someone that is bones or ashes makes you a supernatural. And that's why… hmph. Uh, let's just do the spell before the full moon gets full.

(Harmony) Okay, um, give me some salt.

That witch bowl too. (Air hands her a bag of salt and she makes a circle with a star inside of it) Jaden, get in the star. Do anyone have knife? (Jaden) We don't need that. I have claws. (Jaden change his nails into claws and he cuts his hand but it heals faster so Harmony can't put it in the bowl) (Alex) This is gonna take long so I'm gonna go chose my room. (Jaden) So how are we gonna do this? (Air) I would say cut off a finger but it won't regrow. Or… I can draw out more blood. Let me see your arm. (Air uses magic to cut his arm and he holds Jaden's arm over the bowl) (Harmony) Good thinking. Um, give me your hands. (Air) What? Why? (Harmony) To channel you, fool. (Air) Oh, my bad. I never did this channeling thing. (Harmony) Duh. Repeat after me, Chō shizen no chikara kara betsu no chikara e, kare, kare no kazoku, soshite kare no pakku ni hen 'yō o seigyo suru chikara o ataete kudasai. (Harmony and Air) Chō shizen no chikara kara betsu no chikara e, kare, kare no kazoku, soshite kare no pakku ni hen 'yō o seigyo suru chikara o ataete kudasai, Chō shizen no chikara kara betsu no chikara e, kare, kare no kazoku, soshite kare no pakku ni hen 'yō o seigyo suru chikara o ataete kudasai, Chō shizen no chikara kara betsu no chikara e, kare, kare no kazoku, soshite kare no pakku ni hen 'yō o seigyo suru chikara o ataete kudasai.

(Jaden eyes turn blue and the salt around him catch on fire) (Air) Is that supposed to happen? (Harmony) Yeah, that's part of the ritual. (Air) Oh. Tell me, did you only use me for my dark magic? (Harmony) So you know? (Air) This spell required another supernatural, you have on in your stomach. You can also channel Isaiah. You didn't need me. Yet you still channeled me. (Harmony) You sure do catch on fast. (Air) Hmm. You won't even deny it. You needed my dark magic. (Harmony) Cause it's a dark magic spell. You knew that when we or I was chanting the words. Plus your nose is bleeding, it's black blood. (The fire on the salt disappears and Jaden is sleep on the ground) (Air) It's been a while since I had this much magic in me. I'll have to get used to it again. (Harmony) You won't be dying again will you? Cause if you die again I literally will want you to stay dead. (Jaden wakes up) (Air) I won't die again. Well, I have to go and clean this up. Oh, and Harmony, stop using my magic or the devil will be reborn. (Air walks up stairs) (Harmony) Air! That better not have been a threat. (Air) Trust me, it's a warning about the manic living inside me.

(Jaden) The what living in who? (Harmony) Oh, Jaden! Uh, how do you feel? (Jaden) Like I can control everything. What happened to that spell that Aarion put on me? (Harmony) Oh, that died off a long time ago. The only reason you changed without a full moon was because of him. Giving you power. But let's go to sleep, I'm tired. (Jaden) Yeah, okay.

(Air) A lonely mother gazing out of the window staring at a son she just can't touch. (Air walks in a room and he sees Alex in the room) (Alex) Were you singing Waterfalls? (Air) Uh, yeah I was. Well, goodbye. (Air walks out the room and closes the door and sees Aiyana) That room is taking. (Aiyana) I know. I just wanted to talk to Alex. (Air) Oh, well bye.

(Aiyana) So are you two still a thing? (Alex) I don't know. He haven't talk to me in a month and he didn't tell me what was wrong with him. We could've stayed. He- he left me. And he know I love him but he still left me. (Aiyana) He loves you too. Why you think he didn't talk to you? He feels guilty for what he did so he's anxious. Now if he didn't love you he wouldn't avoided you. (Alex) Maybe so. But enough about me and Air. What about you and Camille? (Aiyana) Uh, apparently her family are hunters and she had to leave because her family had to travel to hunt. So we broke up because we don't want long distance relationship. (Alex) What do they hunt? (Aiyana) Vampires. (They both laugh) (Aiyana) I don't think vampires are real. (Alex) Me either. Although it could be possible. Jaden's a werewolf, we're witches, Aarion's a doppelgänger and at prom we saw wendigo. So it could be possible. (Aiyana) Maybe. Anyways, I'm going to sleep. Good night.

(Air) Mens inpulsa. Damn it! That spell doesn't work either. Maybe Japanese will work. Watashi no naka ni kokumajutsu ga ari, watashidake ga hairu koto ga dekiru basho ni watashi o okimasu. (Air falls asleep) (Magus) Oh, what's the visit for? (Air) I'm here to lock you up again. (Magus) Imprison me for another eighteen years. You know you can't do that. (Air) You're soul has been in me all this time and you think you'll get out? No, no, no. I can't imprison you anymore. But I can devour you soul. (Magus) Ignorant child. My soul and yours are connected. If I die while I'm inside you, you'll die as well. (Air) Ugh! Bye, Magus. Surgere. (Air wakes up) Damn it! I need to find out what would make him die.

(The next morning) (Jaden) Come on, we have to unpack. (Kristen) Nobody feels like doing this. (Aiyana) Yeah, it's 7 in the morning. (Harmony). Fine. Then y'all do whatever. Me and Jaden have something to do. (Aiyana) Like what? (Jaden) Uh, you'll see.

(Dorthy) Do you want a palm reading? Or a tarot card reading? (Jaden) I want Baba Yaga. (Dorthy) Finally! After all these years I have a patient who's talking business. We'll have to go somewhere else though, can't be out in the open. (Harmony) Where are we going. (Dorthy) To the basement.

(Dorthy) So what do you want to ask? (Jaden) Uh, okay. When I entered Manhattan I felt more powerful and my eyes glowed blue. (Dorthy) Esther Grant's prophecy is coming true! (Harmony) Did you say Grant? (Dorthy) Yeah, what about her? She's been bones for a long time. (Harmony) I'm a Grant. (Dorthy) Hmm, I see. Boy, are you a Grant as well? (Jaden) No, I'm a McPhee. (Dorthy) Oh! Very well then! And by the looks of it your the father of that child. Fine then. Let me tell you a story.

Long ago, in a small village, called Seehorn, now called Salem. A neighboring village killed Seehorn's protecters, the wolves. One by one they slaughtered them all. The villagers were desperate for help. So they asked the witch Esther to help them. Bye helping them she made a curse, every full moon those villagers turn into the beast that protected them. They separated into four packs. The Donavan pack, Gibson pack, St. Clair pack, and the McPhee pack. One member of the pack was different, they had blue eyes, they were stronger, faster. They called them Alpha. And the other members of the pack were beta, and ones who doesn't have a pack is an omega. But the children was different, they had to kill to activate the curse and none of them had blue eyes, so they called the first four Alphas the chosen ones. The rest of the wolves had orange eyes and after the first generation of wolves died so do the Alphas. Now there's obviously more then four wolf packs but those were the first four.

Now, do you get what I'm saying? (Harmony) Your saying that the creator of my family created werewolves? (Dorthy) Yes, and I'm also saying that he's a alpha not chosen by his pack but by the witches. (Jaden) That still doesn't explain why it happened when I came here. (Dorthy) They granted you the name of Alpha here because it's been over 400 years since wolves been here. Your a omega alpha. (Jaden) So I'm the first werewolf that's been here. (Dorthy) Yeah, and we need you. Us witches can't handle them ourselves. (Harmony) Handle who? (Dorthy) So you don't know. There are three main species of the supernatural world. Witches, although they aren't supernatural they are apart of the supernatural world, werewolves and… vampires. Ever since the werewolves left the vampires have been killing people everyday. It doesn't end. (Dorthy's eyes bleed) She's here. (Dorthy's eyes turn white) (Esther) Don't let them take him. Kill them before they take him. They'll know soon. (Harmony) Who? (Esther) I can't stay in this body anymore. Good bye. (Dorthy's body fall) (Harmony) Maybe coming here was a bad idea.

(Aiyana gasp) (Harmony in her vision) No. don't take my baby. (Jaden) If you leave with him I'll kill you. All of you. Cause I have the eyes of an Alpha. (The witch cuts Harmony neck with a knife) No! (Aiyana gasp) (Aiyana) Harmony- Harmony is gonna die.
