Can I get a cup of coffee, please?" Elena asked.
"Prepared one already" Silvia replied.
Maggie gave Elena a cup of coffee and she gulped in the whole content.
"Now I understand why Silvia begged me to spare your life"
Elena took the cup slowly from her mouth looking at Silvia.
"What is she talking about?"
"She was mad at me for turning you in one of us and that you'll reveal the secret of the supernatural to the world"
"So?"
"So she wanted to erase you from existence". Maggie smiled drinking her own cup of coffee.
"I had a rethink though, I hope we're in good term Elena cos I won't hesitate to come after you if you reveal our secret to men". She crossed her legs.
"No, won't tell anyone" She replied and her heart began to beat fast.
"Can you give me a good reason why your heart is racing again?". Maggie asked refilling Elena's cup.
"How do you predict my heart beat?". She asked now drinking the content slowly.
"That's one of our ability, you just have to focus on the heart of the individual"
"What will I use to focus? My ears?"
"No your tooth ". Maggie said jokingly.
"Breath in slowly and then out, clear every thought from your heart and focus only on my heart, make sure your ears concentrate on my heart beat only and not sounds around" Silvia told her.
"That sounds hard"
"If you think this hard, I wonder how it will look like when teaching you control on the full moon "
" Control on the full moon?,I've read that before, What's that? ". Elena asked.
" Actually, it's the curse of the Creator"
"The Creator?"
"Not God, the one who created us werewolves, she's called the creator, so when it's the full moon, we go out of control as painful occurrence flood through the memory, it's really hard to resist for starters, you go off the hook and hurt a lot of humans"
"That's insane"
"Of course but then you need to learn how to fight the pain?, for some wolves, it's about finding an anchor"
"An anchor"
"Yes, You fix your heart on the person you love the most, maybe a him or her, a priority that the pain can't overcome, and when you keep overcoming at every fullmoon, your system gets conditioned to it and then there's no need fighting again, just like Maggie and I "
"That sounds simple"
Maggie laughed out loud.
"Why is she laughing?". Elena asked Silvia.
"That's the hardest thing you'll need get learn, there are several ways to overcome the curse, finding the one that fits you the most is the issue"
"Really? You mean there are more things to learn". Elena asked with eyes opened.
Maggie laughed again. .
"I'm beginning to like this girl"
"The werewolf hunters are after us always so you have to be careful, that's why we'll teach you combat for a start "
"Are they the men who attacked us yesterday?". Elena asked..
Silvia nodded.
"Why are they after us?". Elena asked.
"Hush! I said that already, it's a generational job and they passed it from one generation to another, there was a crises between the werewolves and them centuries ago and they're still carrying the grudge on their shoulders"
"So you mean they'll kill werewolves if they caught any!"
"Silvia where did you find this girl?". Maggie said laughing.
"You see that covering" She added pointing the across room.
"Maggie, stop!"
"Okay, Okay"
"What's there?"
"Our friend Olivia, she died last night when they attacked"
"Oh my God, I'm so sorry"
"They kill brutally and that's what they did to my parents,We're the only survivor and we're back to kill anyone who threatens our existence" Maggie told her.
"You were a witness of what happened last night. You kill or be killed"
"So you're advising me to kill now?"
"No. We were witness of what they did to our father and its a kinda vengeance now"
"You're an innocent kid so don't be a killer girl" She added.
"Maybe we have to teach her combat first cos the hunters are everywhere searching for us"
Silvia stood up and straightened her shirt.
"Get up!"
"Is that some kinda command?" Elena asked.
"You're now a werewolf and that's giving you some guts, I guess I'll have to break some of your bones since they'll heal"
Elena quickly stood up.
"The hunters use man made weapons but we use natural ones"
"Our claws and fangs". She added.
"Wow!"
"You have to channel your claws and fangs out like this"
She said and closed her eyes, she opened it and they were red.
Silvia freed her hand in the air and her fingers grew into thick claws.
Elena jumped backward in fear.
"Holy!, how did you do that?"
"Try it" Maggie chuckled
"Okay. Elena, let's do this " she whispered and closed her eyes, she opened it shortly and shot her hands downwards but nothing happened, she shook her fingers endlessly but nothing happened.
" Bad idea I guess ". Maggie said standing up.
" She can't even change the color of her eyes ". She added.
"She's a novice you know"
"Well, others are taught the hard way and you're trying to be a cool teacher". She said walking toward Elena.
Maggie grabbed her wrist and twisted her hand.
Elena let out a loud scream.
"Stop it Maggie"
Maggie twisted it further causing Elena to let out a loud howl and the colour of her eyes changed.
She stood up swiftly, hitting Maggie with her elbow.
She crashed on the wall and rubbed the back of her head.
"Bad idea I guess"
"But it did work". She added and sat down.
Silvia heaved.
"Now channel your claws". Silvia told Elena who was caressing her wrist.
She stood like a boss and with an angry face shot her fingers downward but nothing still happened.
She released her face and heaved.
"It's not working"
"You have to think of your fingers growing into claws and not your boyfriend which I'm sure you don't have" Maggie told
"Or should I help again". She added.
"Oh Thanks, I'll prefer Silvia"
"Well one more chance and then I'll have to step in"
Elena stood at ease and wanted to try again when Silvia ears caught a slight noise.
She turned slowly to see armed men marching from behind trees with rifles pointed at the building.
"Get down! " She grabbed Elena causing both of then to crash to the ground.
Bullets splattered into the room destroying the cups and every other thing in the room.
Silvia saw a man placing his rifle on the window to shot at them.
She quickly pulled out her pistol and sent a bullet into his head.
