Chereads / Sonora / Chapter 8 - Chapter 7

Chapter 8 - Chapter 7

Sonora's POV:

I opened my eyes to a blinding ray of light and some incoherent voices

"Nora Nora, can you hear me?" a familiar voice said from beside me

I sat up on what I think was a bed so my eyes could adjust to the lights

I looked around to see Amira, Sage, Viva, and the King all standing around me

"Doctor, she's awake!" Sage ran out of the room shouting

"what's going on I?" asked feeling confused

They all looked at each other in silence

suddenly a man in a white coat came through the door

"Sonora it's good to see you're finally awake"

"how long was I out for?"

"2 days" he replied

and the memories from two days ago came rushing back

that dark figure he did this

I'm living every moment of my life in fear

"There is no easy way to say this but you've been poisoned"

and I sat there waiting for him to finish

"There is a virus growing inside you kinda like a curse it's fitted with the darkest energy I had ever seen this curse is taking the life out of you with every passing minute and soon"

he paused

"soon what?" I pressured

"it would take every bit of life and you'll die" he finished and the room broke into tears

Amira was leaning on the King sobbing profusely

and Sage was comforting Viva with tears in both their eyes

"However, there is a possibility that there is someone who can help"

"a witch in Pondrest who has studied the arts of the different magics one being dark she can help you find a cure," he said

"I will leave you guys alone" he then finished and walked through the door

Amira ran out of her beloved arms and threw her arms around me sobbing

"Don't leave me please don't" she cried out

"I won't leave you I promise" I whispered tears of mine also forming

Sage and Viva also joined the hug sobbing and crying their eyes out

I looked up at the King to see him staring sympathetically and I gave him a small smile

"Whatever you need we are here for you," he said and I gave him a nod

the girls released me out of their hold and sat on the queen-sized bed I was laying on

"I will leave for Pondrest tomorrow the sooner I find this witch the better" I announced squeezing Mira's hand

they all nodded in silence

"Sonora needs her rest now she can come down later," King Zyair said and I silently thank him

and with one final hug, they left the room leaving me to wallow in my thoughts

15 hours later

It was time

I would travel alone to Pondrest the witches' settlement

it would take about 3 days whole to get there but there was no other way

I stood out the doors of the castle hugging my friends goodbye Tarian and River surprisingly the ones with tears in their eyes

everyone was silent

if one word was spoken everyone would break down

saying the final of my goodbyes I walked to the car given to me by King Zyair and drove out of the city of Genovia

the feeling of the curse wasn't starting to take effect as yet I still felt as if I was the same old me but that would soon change

the curse will first attack my energy levels my strength my ability to move or fight

next, it would attack my vampire senses smell, hearing, sight

it will attack every vital part of me being a vampire until there is no more

until I'm dead

I was in the fifth hour of my drive singing and humming to music in the car

I turned and glanced out the window seeing a trail of forestry

but a swift shadow ran past

I looked again and there was nothing

unexpectedly there was a loud pop and the car started to swing out of control I steered and steered but the car came crashing into a tree

the ears were ringing

and my vision was all blurry

I crawled out of the car feeling a liquid leaking from my head

I stood up and looked around hearing nothing but a loud howl

then others followed and I instantly knew I was in deep shit

I back away from the car slowly being extra cautious about what's around me

suddenly a gray wolf slowly walked into my line of vision with red bleeding eyes ready to pounce

then more followed coming for every corner

then more

"fuck" I muttered and sprinted as fast as I could into the forest

the trees looked like a blur

I was running with all my strength and my might

and with 10 thousand wolves behind my tail

in the spur of the moment, a wolf pounced on me from the side sinking its teeth into my arm

I screamed in agony

my fangs ejected and my eyes turned white

I ripped off his head and kicked the body off me

I looked around and I was surrounded by wolves with no possible escape

I stood up took up a piece of branch and waited for them to make the first move

they all attacked at once but I held my own

With a ferocious howl, the werewolves lunged forward, a storm of fur and muscle hurtling towards me a lone vampire.

my movements were a blur of speed.

I danced through the fray of wolves, snapping jaws and sinking fangs into everything with flesh, my every step calculated to avoid any further injuries

the series of dead wolves lay on the grass like a blanket like pillar

and I stood in the center with a bloody branch and my whole body was soaked crimson red with the blood of my own and the body of my mine

I had big gaping bite marks on my arms and legs

slashes and claw marks were evident on my body

I stood in the middle in silence

hearing nothing but the birds chirping

and smelling the scent of death all around.
