" mispekas rythra tabula chika urr, canin sipeka...marikrasubratu chriatomani phlisto malibresto.." As a cloud of ash rose to the air, Alice held out the palm of her hand towards Ryder, indicating that it was now time to complete the ritual..as he brought the side of the brutal knife sharply against the palm of his hand, the red liquid oozing out of him...he brought it up and let the drops fall on the open palm of Alice...
Gregory did the same , and immediately, Alice clapped her hands and began to call after the names of all the pack members Gregory had earlier mentioned to her...
And after battering the names, she closed her eyes, began speaking in her own language, as her feet unwilling rose from the ground...
"Fiedra zipaskas malikra zua zuarikastro mistencho bari consyestro.. Bring us back...maliza. Chrinastros...the new souls....caribra zitesto malia cazubra..." She said as a ring of fire formed around them...
The blood from Ryder and Gregory appeared on her hand, and she took up the knife and cut through her skin, making the three pairs of DNA unite...
A powerful bond was formed... As the ring of fire drew closer around them...
"What kind of power is this.. !!!" A shocked old voice was heard...
Gregory and Ryder turned around only to find the three witches standing before them....
"You...it's you..." Gregory began to stammer unable to form complete sentences...
It was a puzzle to see that even three powerful witches were out stoned by the rituals Alice could perform...
" isn't this an augerstora ritual..." Another witch said pointing at Alice who was still in the air repeatedly attering the names seven times each...
" how is that even possible.... " they spoke among themselves...
Suddenly, from the dark clouds that hard formed, rain and thunderstorms occurred, and without further ado, from the already muddy ground, evolved creatures,
human creatures,
resurrected creatures,.
..it was the pack, everyone, digging themselves out of the sand...
And finally, they stood up,the rain Washing away the mud in their bodies...
Alice finally got down, closed her eyes and opened them again, the white mark on her forehead disappearing...
"My dear pack, its your job to protect your alphas....so now...ATTAAAAAAACK!!!!!!" She screamed...
The rain immediately stopped, the fire disappeared, leaving no hedge of protection against the three witches..
And with the now resurrected pack turning their wolf and vampire side...they run towards the witches...
Immediately, Alice miraculously made 3 big seats appear...and she sat on one and looked at Ryder and Gregory who were looking at her amused...
She rolled her eyes at their lack of knowledge and pointed to the seats in front of them...
" have a seat gentlemen, the pack will do the job for us.."
And so ladies and gentlemen, as the three sat and watched what seemed like a movie, the deadly battle between the resurrected pack, and the three powerful witches.... finally lit up....
The elicit sound of the dark forces crashing against those who vouged to rip them apart took over...within seconds, half the pack was down, and so were two of the witches...
Witches that were dimmed the most powerful in chainville..
A couple of times, Gregory had wanted to get up and help...it was agonizing to just sit down and watch creatures he'd trained be torn apart...however...no matter how many fell, they still got up in a matter of seconds... It was almost impossible... Nothing nearly murdered them...
It was true to say that whatever Alice had created were not the same pack that once was, they were more powerful...more appealing.. They held within themselves more weaponized humanity...
Impossible... Huh...you might find it impossible for pack of wolves and vampires to use their side of humanity and channel it through their wolf man.. That's what it takes to pass through the hands of Alice... However...that kind of ritual was also costly... Very costly...indeed..
Never underestimate the powers in the hands of Alice. And even though the last standing witch seemed most powerful...the pack still managed to battle their way out..
As the witch said a number of incantations, trying to create a hedge around herself, to prevent the dangerous closeness brought about by the resurrected pack...
One of the wolves roared, the hedge was broken...
it was certain that what Alice had built,
who she had built,
These were not just a pack of creatures...
It was a catastrophy ...
A worthy catastrophy...
This was the most powerful pack that had ever existed...they had been given powers they themselves could not understand..
Ryder had uncomfortably shifted and jolted in his chair a couple of times... Especially when he thought one his members was already gonna get hurt, but to his surprise, not one of them came back with a scratch...
On several occasions, the witches, the witches had tried bewitching them, carding some of them to jolt their heads and break their necks, nonetheless. They were still strong and standing...
And now. The remaining witch was on her feet..
"Wait..please....stop them... Please... Chosen one.. " she pleaded...her breath running out.
Alice slowly got up,she strode towards the woman who by now had bowed down to her powers...
"Who are you.. And what interest do you have with us...with them...not me.. " she said, careful to specify she wasn't a part of Ryder's team...
She too had grown a certain sense of normality for Ryder.. She didn't hate him as much now... She was. . what's the word...almost okay with his existence.. That's it..that's what describes it...okay with his existence..
" I just ...I just capture wolf packs and witches. .that's all" she said..avoiding any eye contact...
The smell of something familiar invaded Alice nostrils...she bent down and dragged out her vampire nails, slowly reaching for the woman's chill and lifting her up..
Again, she tried to catch the scent as she had almost believed the witches words..
Then again, she smiled...there it is...
"I can smell you...I smell fear, giult...and dishonest.. " she stated in finality as her long nails played along the tender tinkled skin of her neck..
"Why are you Lying to me woman...?" She asked the colour of her eyes slightly changing...
By now everyone stood behind her, like a pack letting their alpha take the lead...
All except Ryder.. Our badboy.. Taming him wasn't a piece of cake...he too share some kind of fire with Alice...
" ITS HER?"Gregory suddenly attered as though convincing himself he'd remembered something..
"You bitch. !!!" He screamed before the colour of his eyes changed to a deep crayon blue.. Anger and pain, were the symbols...Alice was confused....
"What are you talking about.." Alice questioned, a little more calmer than she already was...
Something inside her burned with anxiety to know what had made Gregory so agitated..
I mean after all, he had been properly acquainted with her long lost mom long before..
Wait a minute...no it cannot be...but weren't the people that took her mom powerful witches...
Alice's brushed off the thought quickly, as it made her burn inside...
But....as Gregory attered His next words
, all conscience was lost...
All calm ness
All humanity...
All feelings.
"She's the witch that took your mother.. "
Alice turned...
