" Where do you think you are going, young fella?" Zaria asked squatting down.
" I wanna come along, I want help bring home our ruler. " The little boy whose name we found out to be Zoe said.
" It's dangerous, go stay with the other members of the pack." Raphael said not smiling.
" How does sitting here and doing nothing help? I don't want to join the rest of the pack to appoint one werewolf to be our leader. " The way this young pal answered amazed Raphael. He wasn't expecting this kind of wise answer from him.
"The guy has a point." Zaria said patting his head.
" Fine, but stay close and don't get into any kind of trouble." Raphael said sternly giving Zaria a ' hope we aren't making a wrong decision? ' look She only winked at him and with that, they became three.

ELSA'S POV
I knew something horrible and life changing happened last night but why was I finding it hard to remember. I thought of something we saw our elders do back then when they were very worried and finding it hard difficult to take a decision.
Sitting on the ground, my two legs were in such a way that they crossed each other with each feet touch the other tight. I took in several breaths and I closed my eyes shut in order to avoid any kind of distraction.
Trying to reach out to my subconscious, shutting out my thoughts and present feelings was the only thing to do. It was like there was this door inside of me that I was yet to reach out too. I increased my focus in such a way that my ear had to ignore all the little sounds that was being made around me.
Finally it was coming, at first it was like flashes but gradually it became lucid. I could see the full moon, I could see myself working in the midst of the forest alone, I could see a creature lying on the ground helpless and near death, but what was that? My subconscious dug deeper, as I was very curious to know what was so spectacular about that creature that I couldn't remember anything about it. And just like a movie everything we played right in front of me. My eyes are still closed but I could see everything that transpired between me and that human wolf. It beckoned to me to come closer, like a magnetic force I was being pulled to the cries of this creature. It grabbed me and bit my neck! I remembered the pain, and more than the pain, I remembered dying resurrecting ten times. I became a wolf after a while I was a dragon!
This site scared me so much that I jumped up scared of my own self. 'Who was that? That couldn't have been me?' My chest heaved with different emotions that I felt I wasn't going to throw up. My nose was running, my feet were shaking, my eyes suddenly felt different, the sweat that broke out from my body was enough to fill a bucket. I felt my nails grow longer as my mind focused on the picture of wolf I just saw in my visions.
"Help me!" Those are the only words in my head as I went through this torture.
Just then the door flung open and I saw that handsome man walk in. He was with a lady and a kid!
Just then the lady ran to me and head my hands chanting 'relax'. I was still breathing heavily but from her touch and the calmness in her eyes, I saw my body responding and I found myself going back to normal. The handsome guy fetched me a cup of water and I felt so relieved after taking it. A lady was sitting right beside me staring at me with a smile.
" Your wolf is beautiful!" She finally said.
" Wolf?" I echoed. " What are you talking about?" I asked wanting an explanation so badly.
" By now I'm sure you must have remembered all that happened last night in the forest." The Handsome guy said.
" How do you know what happened in the forest? " Questions were just flying in and out of my head and I didn't know where to start from.
" I was in the forest and I saw all that happened between you and Gwa." He now stood from desk he was resting on and leaned towards me.
" The person you encountered in the forest was our leader, as he was about to die, it was necessary for him to transfer his powers to someone else as did our Fathers. Fortunately for you or should I say unfortunately for you, every power that was once in Gwa and our fire werewolves, is now in you." The colour of his eyes changed to something purple and I didn't need a fortune teller to tell me that he was just like that creature I encountered in the forest.
" And you are just like us." The lady responded like she could read hear my thoughts.
" But what I don't understand is how you transformed to a dragon. Uhmm... We will have to find that out ourselves." The handsome said before sitting down.
Suddenly the young boy in our midst came in front of me and knelt down.
"Alpha, I pledge my allegiance to you." He said taking my left palm and placing a kiss on the back of it.
" Since Gwa transferred every of his power to you, then it is mandatory of you to take up the responsibility of leading the pack." The guy said staring at the young kid thoughtfully.
"Wo...wo...wo." I jumped up from where I was sitting. " I am just a normal girl with a normal life and not some were freak." I said almost screaming.
" Watch your words, young lady. Left to only me, I wouldn't want a weak human to lead the great werewolves." He shouted at me obviously angry because his claws shot out and his eyes changed colors again.
" Shouting at her would not bring any solution. For crying out loud all this is too much for her to take, you need to be gentle to about it." It was the lady that spoke this time speaking with this kind of calmness.
" Darling, my name is Zaria, this is Raphael and this brave kid you see here is Zoe." The kid giggled obviously excited about the word 'brave', She said introducing everyone. " Can we know your name?"
"I'm El..s...a" I said now gentle after the shout I received from Raphael.
