Ivory was a sweet little girl born to the lord and lady of Davister witch, the most powerful of all the three clan. She was the ideal daughter but lacked the will to perform magic, despite this her parents still loved her and made her their major priority, knowing that their god Selene would surely bless their daughter. All attention was on Ivory while her younger sister Alovia was left out.
Alovia was blessed with magic but her magic became darkness as she was fueled with jealousy. An unfortunate accident happened, the lord and lady of the clan was no more leaving the seat open for the heir. Ivory didn't want the seat, she claimed she would be of no use to the people since she lacked magic and her home was no more there without the loving protection of her parents. She left, she left with her best friend and loyal companion Davis Trevor, she left Davister after making sure her sister became leader, she ensured the provision for her people before leaving to chase her destiny.
The people of Davister after hearing of how gold of a heart the true heir was, sang of her name daily and reluctantly followed Alovia's rule. Alovia having had enough made a deal with a demon and surrendered to the darkness of her powers. She had other plans with that much power, she destroyed her people making it her life mission to destroy her sister's destiny so she set forth after her with the help of the demons who wanted something in return for their service. After all making a deal with a demon/ the devil was equal to loosing your soul, Alovia's souls was long gone in replace for more power.
She heard of Ivory's marriage to the Alpha king, ruler of Lycans and werewolves, she knew how to execute her plans, how to make her sister's life a living nightmare. First, she tied her womb unabling her sister to give birth to an heir, the next Alpha king.
She was pleased when Ivory seeked her out asking for her help to enable her to give birth. Alovia refused claiming she could only help if she was to bore the king's first child. defenseless Ivory accepted but the king refused, his love for Ivory was more stronger than having a child, he vowed to be by her side despite her inability to give him a child. They were after all mates and true mate was a forever.
Alovia was enraged by the king's devoted love, desperate to get her ways, she casted a lust spell on the king and slept with him in the dark of the night, making sure she did conceive and also made sure it looked like the King did all the work.
Ivory angered by the king's act of betrayal accepted her sister child as her own and allowed her to stay with them in the kingdom. Alovia was escalated, she went further as to enchant the king, trying severely to destroy the mate bond between the two. She tried for years to convinced the king to reject her sister and make her queen since she bore him a son. Davis, Ivory trusted guard heard of the plan and informed Ivory.
Ivory seeked out her sister to confront her, she discovered a room hidden where her sister resided and in it she saw the darkness that fed Alovia. Alovia had cut off her channel to the Davister clan, so she wouldn't feel their death or their torture in the after life, she had killed them all and was using their souls to turn them into darkness, an abomination, monsters, half Lycan /half demon, a creation that upset the balance of life, the real Lycans weren't spared either as they were transformed to half man half beast, each creation was never to have human flesh but to live in fur and on two feet. Ivory felt alot if things, she felt heart broken and beyond devastated by the betrayal.
Alovia, after discovering her secrets were out fastened her plan into killing Ivory, but Davis saved her taking her back to the ruins of Isha, Davister clan where they seeked out the remaining spirit of the dead magical to help cut off the thread Alovia had over Ivory.
Ivory tried healing her broken heart in the valley of Davister, she screamed her pain to their god Selene, who was also the god of the wolves but known as the moon goddess, whom after weeks answered her cries and blessed her while cursing the Alpha king.
Those weeks of recovering, Ivory and Davis discovered she was pregnant, she was even more over joyed later discovering her powers coming forth.
She was also heart broken for she knew she wasn't going to be blessed with the joy of motherhood and the connection of her powers to Selene. She planned for her children, hoping they don't go through the heart breaks she went through".
*****
"So did she die?"
"Last I heard Alovia dagged her with a stake where she had given birth".
They observed the remains of the hallow dried hay surrounded by leaves and Ivory flowers, blood was soiled on the ground old and decayed. The only assumption that someone indeed died at the spot.
"Where is her body?"
"I came back once I was strong enough but couldn't find her. I believe Alovia took it as a trophy for her victory".
"That vile creature!", Melissa cursed.
Staring with tears dropping as she gazed at her mothers death bed. Her real mother she never knew, only memory that she once thought were nightmares.
Davis picked up a flower breathing it in while tears dropped freely.
"I failed to protect her but I will make sure I don't fail her memories"
He croaked out sniffing his nose. Closing his eyes from the world. His pain ever prominent on his features.
"You really were close to our mother, weren't you?"
He gave out a short laugh probably from a fleeting memory,
"She was my best friend". He gazed at the twins the only essence he had to Ivory. He remembered his promise to her and his promise to avenge her death.
"Come. Let us clear up a place to rest, tomorrow we begin your training"
¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶
What would one call as a deja vu?, is it the repetition of an incident, or another accordance similar to the past.
All Davis thought was 'it was deja vu over again' as he sat crossed legged with the twins at the exact same spot he sat with Ivory when she recovered. It still felt the same way. Peaceful. Filled with so much magic that he never understood but Ivory did as she gushed about its ecstatic.
'It feels like am being consumed by the smell of flowers like am in a garden with colorful flowers all around me it feels so surreal so peaceful yet the odd thing is that I smell a particular flower in general one that reminds me of my name"
He never did experience that feeling with her, he wasn't of pure blood like her. Taking calm breaths he opened his eyes moving them to Melissa who sat beside him, a trance look was on her feature, her breathing inaudible, her brother was not far behind, he too was in such a state.
"Tell me what do you feel?", he wanted to be sure they were fully in.
Melissa brows furrow in anticipation as she tried to explain.
"It feels like am in a garden"
"Yeah its weird because I know we are in a valley filled with dried leaves, but I feel one with nature here",
Micage also concluded, drawing a smile to Davis.
"Good... Now listen and study your environment".
"What's the point in this meditation? Am getting kind of sleepy here"
Micage blue eyes gazed at Davis, they looked clearer and more brighter.
"I agree with Micage not the sleeping part but ill rather go hunting than sit here meditating"
Melissa resorted back, her amber eyes too had a difference.
Davis could only smile,
"Look within you, ask your wolfs, what do you feel within you"
He watches in amusement as they squared him with an unfazed look before slowly closing their eyes.
They finally felt it.
"I feel one with Lyca"
"Same here. I feel Luca"
"What's happening Davis?"
He breath out,
"Your mother came here after Alovia tried to kill her the first time. In here she regained her strength, her powers and gave birth to you two, her greatest gifts. I thought since you are both part of her, it will help you prepare for your coming shift"
"I thought we had already shifted since we are Lycans"
"No you are just starting and there is the curse to think about"
"Yep, a full pack of crap".
"I have one more question, Do we have magic in us?"
Davis had a mused look on his face as though he expected that question yet still....
"You mother was from a line of very powerful witches, the Davister are known to be more closer to the moon, ancients beings with ancient powers. The fact that your mother never had her powers at first has made this question difficult for me to answer"
He watched her face drop in disappointment before covering it up, the boy looked skeptic.
"Hey but I thought the unique qualities we have like the hearing of mind, strength etc".
"Those are still qualities of a Lycan , Lycan are also known to be the most powerful in the werewolf world, and also ancient"
"Ha, all these history is staring to give me a migraine"
"It's important we learn if we are going to change the world"
At her words he sat up straighter.
Davis noticed the the two had a common goal they never knew they shared. He knew he had to bring them together as payment for separating them in the first place. As he thought,
All was silence before,
"Davis? Can you tell us about about our mother?"
He raised a brow at the sudden question staring straight at her amber eyes.
"Why the sudden question? My lady, I thought the story helped"
She shooked her head trying hard to hide the vunluability she felt. At that moment she did look like Ivory.
"I just want to know about her from a closer perspective".
He averted his gaze looking at a distance only him could reach.
"That's another story for another day, now back to your lesson. I noticed that you two don't have quite the connection normal twins are suppose to have"
Cage raised a brow,
"I don't see how this is part of our lesson"
Davis frown but continued.
"Despite the help of your wolves forming that connection, yourself as humans are yet to bound"
"What's there to bond. We are siblings, we are Lycans, we are descendants of the late werewolf king, nothing else"
Davis still insisted, he was trying to figure something out to help calm his conscious.
"Tell me about your lifes, I left you both with witches for a reason so tell me, how was it?"
"You left us with them for a reason?"
Davis nodded but didn't elaborate more.
"I want to know about you first"
He turned towards Melissa who stared right back at him.
"Heck! What she going to tell you? Only that she's an assassin and kills for no reason"
Assassins aren't given a good name in any territory, they as seen as pets or puppets who does the master's biddings. A low class pack of wolves almost classified as rogues.
Melissa felt angered by her brother's comment, Lyca felt the same as her eyes glowed. She made sure to face him staring right back at him. Pinning him to his spot with her anger.
"Have you killed before, dearest brother?"
Thick with deadly sarcasm, Micage shivered a little at her tone.
"What?" His mouth was opened wide in shocked then closed at the question she chose to ask him.
Mel stared at him mildly with a raised brow,
"Okay I'll be more forward, Have you taken a life before?"
"Are you crazy!!, Why the fuck would I do that. I just beat the fuck out of people"
Her eyes misted,
"Its not fucked up but about survival. Survival of the fittest
"That's crazy analogue, no one uses that these days. Christ!, your family must be real hypocrite"
She suddenly glared, voice getting louder.
"What do you know about survival Micage?, You are the ideal golden boy back where you are from, had a caring parent to look after you, had friendly faces and people to love you. All I ever had was Lyca and Lydia, I had to struggle everyday to survive to not be the next victim. I was the predator and I lived with that"
Micage stared at her, pity flowing from him.
"Don't you fucking dare pity me cause there is nothing to pity about and you know what at least I lived up to the King name and not you who leasuied around"
She rose with grace from her crossed position, storming off, leaving his mouth agape and a pained look on Davis.
He found her in a bloody mess. Her eyes still glowing, her Lycan form out, she had been tearing into the flesh of her fourth kill, a wild rabbit. Davis face was neutral, he tried hard not to let his emotion give away.
"Clean up when you are done, we are heading into town"
Davis noticed alot of things the twins refused to notice. Isha, not only does it heal but it brought out your inner demons for them to face, it brought out their true self. Davis then understood how Ivory got her powers back, it was from here. There was more to Isha now that no other magical lived. It had to be the spirits, the remaining spirits of the dead.
Cage had been quite all through his argument with his sister even when she had approach them with a blank look they didn't talk.
"Alright each of you hold my hand. I have enough power to mist us to and fro"
"Where are we going?"
She asked more like her Lyca asked cautiously.
Micage let out a low whine from his throat.
Davis sighed.
"To meet a friend of mine"
And with that they misted into gray dust.
They appeared in a forestry. Filled with soldiers training on a field and cannons and other weapons in full display. An elder man approached them, he was dark skinned and had multiple badges in his uniform, his cap was poised on his head. Behind him a younger man stood with less badges.
"My lord and lady, may I introduce Bale woods, a militarist of the military government of USA and also the commanding officer"
"You flatter me too much Davis. Its a pleasure to have you your highnessess"
"Just Cage is alright with me sir",
Micage mummer's rubbing the back of his head clearly not use to this. He sometimes dreamt of joining the army with Jung.
Melissa frowned at his antic nerve but said nothing.
They strolled through the camp having low conversation while the humans gave subtle glances their way.
"So Davis? What brings you here today?"
"A little favour from you my friend, could we talk in private"
"Of course"
He nodded with eagerness before turning back to the twins.
"Dexter here will take you to the inn where you will get refreshments"
Cage glowed at the word refreshments.
They had a lot to eat well mostly Cage who wouldn't stop eating like a pig in front of Mel. She had an ever scowl on her lip. Luckily he finished before she could do any damage to his body.
"Tell me about your mind reading, how does it work?"
He groaned in satisfaction,
"You want to talk about that now?. Don't worry, for some reason I can't read your which is good for my sanity"
Her mouth opened about to reply crudely before they quickly turned to a frown and her eyes widen in alarm.
"Watch out"
Her hand grabbed him before those words could come out. Throwing a punch to a man that took him backwards with force.
"What the hell??"
More men in their military outfit appeared attacking them.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Do I fucking look like I know you moron now shut up and fight"
She hated the fact that she couldn't kill them or do more damage with Lyca, it was the rule after all for all mystical creatures to not harm the petty humans. She tried real hard not to fall into her anger and blood lust, instead focus on why they were attacking them since Bale gave a clear visit and Davis hadn't come out since the chaos. Something wasn't right.
"Why do you hate me so much?"
She faced his back when she heard him, a vein almost pop out of her head at the out of nowhere question, unless he already went through their heads.
"I don't hate your guts if that's what you mean".
She meant it, she was just whose was and trying to adjust to things wasn't one of her easy assets.
"Melissa...?"
He knew a lot apart from the fact that he could now feel her emotions likes some 'Rose from vampire academy version'.
"I don't hate you Micage... Am just jealous of the life you lived"
She ducked drawing her brother towards her to square a kick at the enemy. There she said it. What ever plan he had in that golden head if his better be worth it.
"You don't make it seem like you like me very much and besides you don't wish to know me well"
He gave a quarter back hit resting backs with her before throwing a man away.
"Oh please.... Tell me if there was one word you will describe your life what would it be"
He thought or not really, it was just hard focusing on the word with all these men coming in at them. They still couldn't kill them cause they were human but still knocking them hard was hard.
"Protective.... I was protected all my life by Emily, Cole and the rest of the pack it was the reason why I became the protector".
Mel grunted fighting off two at a time taking her time before answering.
He edge on, also curious.
"What about you sis?"
"Pain. I felt pain all through my life. I was labeled an outcast by my pack and family, I had to fight each day thus I made my pain into anger, it is my poison that fuels me"
Micage was speechless, indeed he didn't know his sister well and they lived two different lives.
"Am sorry I said those nasty words to you, sis. You were right we don't understand what we have each been through"
She grunted, beating two more men before turning to give him a slow small smile.
"Yes you are right, am sorry, Micky"
He paused, the men charging at his froze at his sudden stop, he turned, wide eyes to her gleeful ones before his eyes glared.
"Micky???, What am I, Mickie mouse?, change that nickname right this instance, sis"
Mel chuckled,
"But Micky I like the name, it suits you better"
she winked.
Which surprised him but her playfulness was not enough to defuse his anger at the name.
He fumed, "Change it now, change it... Mellon"
Now it was her turn to glare.
"Am not a fruit"
"Am not a mouse, Mellon"
"Why you....." They jump each other trying to strangle the other forgetting about the men they were fighting and focusing more on their laughter.
Davis and the black man Bale waltz in shaking their heads in disapproval at the turn of event but Davis had a small smile on his lip despite his disapproval.
"Training is over men, you better go patch up your wounds"
Bale had pity on the men cringing at how badly hurt the Lycan twins had done to them. He turned to the said twin frowning more when they didn't regard him.
"It's unhonorable to fight each other in battle what if this was all real"
Releasing their hold from their hair, they each sat, a full satisfied grin on their lips as they rendered the two elders. Cage was quick to provide a smarty response.
"Well its a good thing we aren't in real battle heh!"
Bale fused, disappointed at his response.
"What made you so sure?"
Mel cleated her throat,
"Well for starters, our wolf didn't feel any threat from you when Davis brought us here and second you are a bad actor for playing the bad guy hiding behind the sidekick while your men get beaten, and thirdly I'm an assassin, I've seen better"
"And let me also add that your men all had the same technic". Cage added feeling proud
"Well it's a good thing that you truly learnt something from this your highness"
"Davis am going to tell you for the last time, stop referring us formally just call this big head Micky or something"
"Lissa!!!"
She chuckled before rolling her eyes,
"Alright Cage... And Lisa? Whats wrong with Liz, Lydia calls me Liz"
He gave out a goofy breathe,
"Yeah I like it more cheese Supra and femilla"
"You are unbelievable, Thomas is the only one that calls me that"
He shrugged
"Mine is different cause it has a double 'ss' not a single 's"
Davis cleared his throat distracting them from their next banter.
"You both need to eat and freshen up. Come on Bale, we have so much to discuss"
Bale sent them a look but behind that look they both knew he was curious and had regarded them with respect.
#You just got to love the sibling bonding..... Eek! Pls comment, tell me what you think#
