EVERYONE IS THE ENEMY

7 years later

"Come on," Seraiya said as she ran, dragging her brother Damien behind her. "Where are we going?" Damien asked. "We have to help them," he told her, pulling his wrist out of his hand. "We'll only get in the way," Seraiya said as she turned to him. "Mom told us to hide so we have to listen," she added.

7 years had passed since Seraiya was saved by Selene the goddess of the moon. Seraiya and Damien were now 12 years old, and On this day the territory had been engulfed in flames as rouge wolves raged a war in order to claim the territory for themselves.

"Come on this way," Seraiya said grabbing her brother's wrist once again and pulling him towards a closet. Inside the closet was a small crawl space. "Go in," Seraiya told Damien. "What about you?" He asked her. "There's not enough room for the both of us," he added. "I'll keep watch out here," she told him. "Just promise me no matter what you won't come out until you hear the password," she told him.

Damien nodded before getting on his hands and knees and crawling into the crawl space. Seraiya closed the door behind him and moved the coats into the closet so they could hide the door.

As Seraiya sat down holding her knees to her chest she had no choice but to listen to the screams of those who couldn't fight, the growls of those who could, and the occasional silence of those who died. Being part wolf herself she could hear everything there was to hear. The overwhelming smell of blood didn't help her much either. After all, to a 12-year-old girl such as herself, it was a truly horrifying scene. even if she was unable to see it.

Fear began to fill Seraiya as she heard footsteps coming toward the closet. "Silere nos" Seraiya whispered a spell to keep any noise from exiting the closet. She knew it would be a matter of time before they found at least her. But she would do everything in her power to protect Damien, her little brother, her twin.

"I can smell you tribrid" a raspy male voice echoed. "I can smell your fear," he added. "So many places to hide but I promise..." he continued, suddenly throwing a dresser out of the way. "I will find you," he said. "Maybe you're truly stupid enough to hide in the most obvious place," he said as he slowly walked towards the closet.

Throwing the door open he stared down at Seraiya. "Found you," the older man with scars covering the entirety of his body said, looking down at her.

"repelle," Seraiya said causing the man to go flying back. "Stay," Seraiya said as she quickly got up and ran out of the closet. The man who was now lying on the other side of the room on the floor slowly got up. "Damn little bitch" he mumbled, as he walked out of the room to follow her.

Seraiya ran down the long hallway of the pack house and down the steps before getting outside. As soon as she made it to the porch she froze at the horror she saw. Warriors that watched her grow up are seriously injured as they continue to fight in their wolf forms.

But Piper and daemon, her parents along with everyone else in her family were nowhere to be found. Seraiya came back to reality and ran down the steps and into the woods. As a wolf suddenly began to charge toward her from in front of her she subconsciously threw up her hands as a way to block it making the unknown wolf go flying into a tree.

"Found you," the man said, grabbing Seraiya from behind. "LET ME GO!" Seriaya cried as she struggled, kicking and screaming to get out of his grip.

"Stop moving" the man said as he pulled out a needle from his back pocket, and jabbed it into her neck. Seraiyas eyes went wide as he injected her with the mysterious liquid in the needle.

Seraiya's body quickly went limp as all the energy from her body suddenly vanished. Her eyelids became heavy and she struggled to keep them open as her body fell limp to the ground. "Where the boy?" A familiar female voice said approaching them. "I couldn't find him, the girl caused such a commotion I had no choice but to leave him wherever he was," the man told the woman.

Seraiya tried hard to think but she just couldn't pinpoint the voice she heard. Who did it belong to?" She wondered as her eyes closed. 'Stay awake' Seraiya thought to herself but even her mind was beginning to cloud.

"Hurry.... her.... Russia... boy... day" was all Seraiya heard. She had gotten to a point where she couldn't even understand what they were saying, it was complete gibberish.

It wasn't much longer before Seraiya finally couldn't hear anything at all and her mind went blank.

"Hurry and get her to Russia, we'll deal with the boy another day" the woman told the man as he picked seraiya up and threw her over his Shoulder. "Where's the witch and when do I get my money?" The man asked. "I'm right here a woman with brown hair and blue eyes said walking up behind the man. "Amanda right?" he asked. "Your money will be given to you upon the safe arrival of the tribrid" the woman said not answering his question.

"Are you ready?" She asked him. "Let's Hurry this up" he told her. "Ianuae Russiae" the woman said and the man, and seraiya who was still over his Shoulder suddenly disappeared. "Our job is done" the woman with brown hair and blue eyes said, turning away from the first woman who had arrived who just so happened to be a vampire.

"When will she be back?" The vampire asked. "When the world splits in 2" the witch said walking away.
