Chapter 19
I'm only one step away, I'm only one breath away losing my faith today.
My legs burn from running so much, fighting against my own mind, at last outside that place little rays of the sun that sneak through the branches of the trees dazzle my vision, the heat in my fur and the wind on my face, I close my eyes. eyes for a moment enjoying the sensation.
I close my eyes and my mind runs confused images, black hair, a scar and tears, this makes my body slow down but as if it were a blow, the images disappear and my rhythm becomes even more frantic, I stop and I let out a howl with which I take a bit of my despair.
°°°
Everyone's march stops when they hear the howl in the distance.
Despair.
I'm so sorry as if it came from myself, Cameron's ears are attentive in that direction and after a groan underneath him he continues to run louder with the sound of pairs of legs behind us.
I close my eyes and focus on Dayana and our bond, she may not remember me, but I'm still her mate ¿right? I see as if she made a journey through the whole forest, the path she ran on now I also walk, after a few seconds I finally see her.
Now without the blackness covering her fur and without having to think about how to help her without hurting me, I can appreciate her large size, bigger since the last time I saw her, if it was possible that her fur was even blacker, now I saw it possible, his large paws now with protruding claws tore at the ground in his wake, his muscles dancing under his hair demonstrating the power how detached, and what hurt me the most to see, his eyes, his eyes now bright red as blood and not green as the forest, I tightened Cameron's fur at the painful sight.
As if sensing my presence the red eyes focused on me being like hitting a wall returning me to my place, Cameron's back.
I took a strong breath of air as if I was missing after that blow, I looked forward remembering the old man what I did, we are so far away.
We have to go faster — The wind around me raced with more force as did Cameron and the legs behind us.
°°°
Seeing my reflection in the mirror is like seeing a young and beautiful face, but with eyes that have seen too much, they say that the eyes are the window of the soul ¿What is behind a witch who has seen the same flames of hell as the clouds from the sky? Nothing, an infinite void is what there is, void of emotions, living for millennia played a part of her in taking away any surprise that time might have.
But I made a promise and this time I am going to keep it.
I close my eyes and focus on the loud clatter of paws approaching here, I put my hood up from my seat, I leave the house and it is not long when I see a large black wolf with bright red eyes running in my direction, the ground. He seems to tremble before his strength, this makes me lift my chin with pride, it stops suddenly ending inches from my body, he examined it; Lush, night-black hair, strong muscles, razor-sharp claws, huge fangs, and glittering eyes. I touch his head and without hesitation he leans into my hand.
— Very good, Abyssus. It is time for you to leave, for now your task is finished — A mist comes off the body of the wolf and is positioned to one side.
— It was an honor, my lady — He says bowing his head.
The great wolf seems to be destabilizing and even with the red of his eyes the confusion is in his gaze, when he places his brilliance on me it is as if he lost strength, and from one second to another I have a blonde with gray eyes standing in front of me.
— You... — He lets go without strength, I put a small smile at this — ¿What did you do to me? — His legs seem to no longer be able to carry their own weight and they give way, falling to their knees before me.
— ¿What do you remind me of? — He puts a confused face to my words - ¿Or do you want me to refresh your memory? — Without giving her time to respond, she placed a hand on her face — Velut nova — And as if nothing had happened, everything she did while my Abyssus used her as a puppet came back to her, tears ran down her eyes and her nails scratching the skin of his legs, he clenches his fists and despite his pain his anger seems to be stronger when he gets up and tries to tear my face with the claws of his hands, but I dodge it easily thanks to his weakness and fatigue.
Without thinking, I answer her by giving a strong blow to her right cheek, leaving the marks of my nails on the skin of her face, she falls to the ground without force — I was thinking of removing the shackles that you brought with you, but I will leave them to you like the animal What are you. You've arrived, you just need to get your girlfriend to see how you kill her yourself — I say while I see traces of her blood on my nails.
— ¡There is no way! — She shouts from the ground to which I release a loud laugh.
— ¿There is no way you say? ¿Do you remember how you got here? ¿How did you kill your own parents? ¿And how did you escape from the hands of your girlfriend who was only trying to help you? — It only takes a minute to look at Abyssus who is still standing behind me, her eyes glow red for a few seconds, I doubt that she can transform into that wolf without Abyssus inside her.
— I'm not going to do it, you will have to kill me because there is no way I can do it — She says with conviction
— Don't worry, she will see you die before I kill her myself — I turn around and before going back into the house I give Abyssus a look — Do whatever you want with her, I just want her alive until she arrives.
°°°
I had never hated someone so much in my life, until that witch arrived, I clench my fists hard hurting myself inside my palms, anger and pain is the only thing I can feel, since my body is so tired as to stop. being able to feel something, the memory of my parents being killed by me, me killing my own pack and trying to kill Morgana, my heart knots at the mere thought of that, her tears when seeing that it was a lost cause, I look at the forest in search of comfort, but there is nothing, now I am here, with her, without strength and hurt. As broken inside as outside.
— I don't find any fun with you, you already hate yourself enough to want to die ¿But do you know who is going to have fun? — A macabre smile draws on her face — Abrahel... — My body freezes.
