We moved quietly and hid behind a rock.
There laughter echoing as they come forward.
"We finally captured him,the great Erick you thought once you found her all your problems will be over,but you forgot once a witch always a witch, I will never let you be happy never ever!"
"Even if I can't be with her,it won't be long before you are destroyed."
"What do you mean?".
"She has the silver sword capable of destroying you witches and ravens, it wont be long before y'all are wiped out into the history books."
"Wishes dear, mere wishes,she can't wield such a great weapon, only god purim has the power to unlock the secret off the sword,even i after so many years, the sword won't even come to me".
"That's where you come in."
"She will have to choose between you and the sword, who is going to perish then"?.
Purim looked at me and said.
"It is time".
He put his finger on my head,and entered in,I lost control over my actions and words.
"We meet again."
"Wait, how did you get in here?".
"Where's my daughter?"
"What daughter are you talking about?"
I saw the light in her eyes, they were far from ordinary for the first time I felt fear, the fear of death.
"Pls spare me, I'll release him ,take him and go".
I saw the light in the eyes of the wolf, and I instantly knew those were my father's, I had left them because of my love for Erick, he became my obsession, I stole the silver sword from my dad's chambers and offered to the witch to gain her trust.
"Where is she".
After being free from the chains, I went to touch Veronica on her shoulders, trying to connect with Zuri, her shoulders lit up, and Purim came out.
"You lost control of yourself why?"
"I'm sorry, who ever took this sword knows where my daughter is, I miss her so much".
"I almost forgot, Veronica, you're destiny is bigger than you think, you will fight many battles,but now that you have me as your ally rest assured, you'll have bigger wins"
Erick looking confused said
"But how is that possible,I am the Alpha, I'm supposed to be more powerful."
"This is what led to you're curse, your greed and desire, whenever you need me young wolf, just use the sword to call my name ".
"Wait, how do I do that?, wait"
"Well, what now how do we get out of here?".
"You heard him a beta wolf is now the boss of an Alpha, since when did I become so weak?, give me that sword for a second ".
"Why, what are you gonna do with it?".
"Hand it over."
I gave him the sword curious to know what he would do next.
"Ow, the sword injured me."
"Erick ,you know we're still in the hunted woods, we're not supposed to fight let's figure out how to get out of here!"
"I think it's too late for that".
"Who are you?"
"I am death, and I have come for you Erick, any one that dies, dies permanently, and you won't be able to break that cycle, and yes, advice the wolf to stay away from this war "
" Do you think I'm weak?, I don't need the help of a girl " .
His words hurt me,I thought when we found each other everything will be easy, and I will be happy, I thought regaining my memory will give me peace, but I guess I was wrong, maybe he deserves to be with the other woman.
"Raven dear, I know I'm a witch but you're tampering with nature, as a goddess, you're supposed to be with the celestial beings, why are you messing with the mind of an Alpha and turning him against his Luna".
"I love him, and that's all that matters, I don't care if it's right or wrong all I care about is having him all to myself and I won't share him with any other woman".
While staring at death, I was reminded ,of his words, I'll show him i am not weak, by taking him down and proving myself worthy.
I got lost in thought wondering what went wrong with him, why was he acting strange, and how could I help, him?, how could one fight against death, but wait, if he loses, does that mean he will die again?
I don't care what they think about me I will go and help my love, with that thought in mind I stood with the sword and charged towards death.
Death turned towards me and spat immediately I froze, i couldn't move ,my arms and legs were completely, at his mercy.
This was the first time I was frozen in war, I've never being stuck before, I didn't know what to do.
I closed my eyes and connected to Zuri, my inner light.
The light on my shoulder connected with the silver sword, and power stone, broke me free from the shackles.
I charged forward my eyes shining with light, I wasn't myself that moment.
"Impossible, impossible", death kept uttering.
My light shines so bright death faded away in the moonlight, I fell in to a deep slumber.
"Veronica, welcome, we've long waited your arrival, and we are pleased that you are here, Purim told us what happened on earth, the witch Raven is in control of ERICK'S mind, the same way they held your mind in the locket, so that you won't remember your past ,that is exactly what they did to your love, he does not belong to Raven, he belongs to you, fight for his freedom."
"But, why do u have to fight for him,why can't he fight for me, I'm I not the Luna and he the Alpha, is the Beta wolf not supposed to be the weaker amongst the three answer me?".
"You are weak on your own, when Erick is close to you, just like the power stone,that is the only way you can win, he is one of the weapons you need."
