Chereads / IRIS:last of the morhan clan / Chapter 30 - Chapter 29

Chapter 30 - Chapter 29

  California, a land of total bliss and happiness. Cordelia looked around, she remembered everything about this place, the beautiful sunrise, the civilised humans, the gods forsaken wolves and vampires hidden in the shadows…the foxes and their holes and then Iris and her clueless slave.

She smelt the air and smiled, this was going to be easier than she had expected. From her source, the young fox was living out her life in luxury and happiness while her slave was calm, clueless and a dimwit. 

Should I just get them now? 

She asked herself, but thought better not to go after them now, that was a rash movement.

"No, no, no, no! I shouldn't give in to your sweet talks, you b…". Someone bumped into her and the person's phone fell to the ground and broke.

"I'm so sorry". She said and bent to pick her phone. It was already broken.

It was Lucy.

"I'm sorry, I'll just get a new one", she said looking up at Cordelia.

   Cordelia smiled, her rouge lips slightly moving up sinisterly but Lucy didn't recognize.

Kill her!

This is your chance to kill her!

Or don't you know she's that fox's slave?

    Cordelia breathed in then out. 

"I'm sorry for the loss… I mean of your phone"

"O- Kay, well, I'm Lucy, I might see you around some time"

"Of course we would see, but we won't be smiling then"

"Ri-ght. I'll see you later…"

   Lucy walked away feeling slightly weird and uncomfortable. She didn't know why but she felt that that woman spelt trouble and she was going to be seeing her again.

She sighed, strange things had been happening so this one wasn't an exception, she shrugged.

This wasn't the least of her problems, she had to get a new phone.

      Cordelia smiled, the so-called Lucy didn't recognize her. This was getting all the more interesting and unbelievable.

She had heard that the hybrid had protected her when one of her clan wanted to kill her.

"She's quite special, having the hybrid and the fox witch by her side", she muttered and walked into a bar.

"She's quite pretty though"

 "Something weird happened"

"Uh-huh" Iris said, telling her to continue while she made coffee.

"I bumped into someone…"

"And you fell in love", Iris joked, making Lucy hit her and the cup of hot coffee poured on her hand.

"Fuck!" She shrieked as the cup fell to the floor and shattered.

"Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry Iris", she said, bending to pick the broken glasses up. "Don't bother, you were saying", she said shrugging.

"Well, the lady looked at me strangely and suddenly smiled saying we'd meet again", she explained, cleaning up the mess she'd made.

"Hmm, tell me more"

"Well she didn't tell me her name, but she was on heavy makeup", she said and Iris shrugged again.

"Was she on a veil?" She asked, getting surprisingly interested.

"No, she looked rather young but yet felt old"

"Wait… what if she's Cordelia?!"

"Fuck! We need to pack and run away, she's going to kill me then you". Lucy said, panicking.

   Iris smiled slightly and shook her head. She knew Cordelia more than anyone and knew she wouldn't dress that way except for the heavy makeup.

"Calm down sweetheart, she's not the one, if she comes, I'd know", she said reassuring the young girl.

   Iris was worried, what if that was Cordelia? That cunning fox could do anything and go any length just to kill her. She didn't want to think about any of this.

"Let's go clubbing", she said and Lucy rolled her eyes but did not object. She'd talk to Zach about it.

***

  "She's here! Hush". Someone said and everyone, young and old, small and huge all kept calm gathering together like they were waiting for their saviour… and they were.

The saviour of the Blue moon clan. The one that could make other foxes come back to their senses, thus, the saviour of Nestle lake serving as an example to all werefoxes around the world and thus the saviour of the… .

"I feel so pleased to be welcomed this way by my family", Cordelia said as they cheered her entrance… the coming of the saviour.

"We've been blinded by ignorance, not knowing the difference between good and evil. But, I'm here to bring what's truth back!"

    The cheer was loud as they all changed her name.

"Years ago, the clan of the morhan committed treason and was destroyed. But one escaped and gave birth to a fox through dark magic, something forbidden in our land. I've hunted her down for five hundred years and counting, but now I hear she's in our town with a new slave as always… we would destroy her and reclaim what is ours", she said smiling widely at them like an innocent fox with nothing bad in her filthy mind.

"And could anyone tell me what is ours?"

"Justice and fairness!" They all shouted.

   With Cordelia, the Blue moon pack was going to be unstoppable or so they thought, but she had something else in mind. Something darker than dark magic itself. She just had to wait till the blood moon.

   "You all saw how she killed one of us, how she has lost her mind… and we all saw or heard how the hybrid killed one of us because of a girl, a slave to that witch!

They have all list their minds and would want to stop us, but we -"

She looked at everyone and continued.

" - we are unstoppable! We are powerful and experienced. We are the blue moon!" She screamed to her toppest voice and rhet cheered carrying a handful of dirt while some killed a young calf drawing the blood in a bowl.

   "I don't want you to get hurt, Cordelia", her lover said and she smiled at him. "Trust me, I'll destroy her", she said and kissed him. For the first time in forever, he hesitated but she was persistent so he kissed her back. He felt something bad was going to happen, he didn't want to lose her for anything and she knew.

    The clan marched down to Iris's mother's grave. She was buried at the outskirt of the Nestle lake. They all lined up pouring dirt and blood and stepping on the grave spitting on it. They all did it, young and old alike.

Cordelia smiled, this was part of the process, the process of killing Iris and taking her powers.

This was the process… the real beginning.
