The trap : part 1

Albert's point of view:

I was diving deep in a such a beautiful dream; it was dark, and I was alone. No one was there to break my piece, the piece I was in. But the red door was there in front of me.

The exact door was always a sort of like what I can describe with the hell to me. That's why I closed it, but it was open now.

The human girl was my first crime. I never want to do it, but I have to. She needed to die so that I would be here today, Otherwise, I will never be able to take what's mine.

I killed my old self when I killed that girl. There was never going to be a way back…

It was raining blood on me; storms and thunder were hitting as hard as possible. It was as if they were celebrating a ceremony held by my pain. Not to mention the lightning that was setting fire around me, causing everything to burn into ashes. I run, trying to avoid all the things around.

The screams of the girl, the sound of the bloody rains along with thunder, the lightning that was trying to turn me into ashes.

I kept on running until there was no way for me to run anymore, and I felt loose. My peaceful era was no longer peaceful anymore. But not for too long, since a voice that I do recognize as my mother's own – was leading me to find my way out.

"Albert!!" … "Wake up …"

I followed the echo and sounds of that beautiful voice until I was facing the light wall. I jumped through that wall and ….

My eyes were open, as I did my mother who seemed like passing through hell shouting while taking me in her embrace

"Thank god Albert, for a while, I felt like losing you."

I chuckled, and then I told her, "Still young to die … I'm just a few years old … like five hundred or something like that … Still wants to live of curse." I joked using facts, which push my mother to laugh as if she were a child.

"Quiet the fun you are, like the usual." She said to me," Now tell me, what happened to you? Why have they locked you in that room … and you seem…"? She cut herself before finishing her line, and I took the lead to finish for her.

"What? Do I look like a dead walker? Like someone whose back to life after death? Well, it is true … I am."

I then took the chance to tell her about all and everything that happened to me. For a while, she was about to cry, but she stopped herself.

She was always that kind of soft person, and now she is like struggling to hide her weakness. I mean, in our world – kindness, softness, and everything related to feeling is a weakness that can be used against us. That's why we need to be the monster we are in order to get what belongs to us.

"I've sent some werewolves to help the witches, it will make things easier for us if they succeeded in killing the Hybrid. Liam for sure would lose it if something happened to his mate…" My mother was talking, while I decided to finish it for her,

"Which will give the rebels an extra reason to support our case, in the throne will be ours in time."

Something flashes over my brain, so I found myself asking.

"From what I remember, this room was a field with vervain. How does it happen that I can't smell it anymore?"

My mother smiled at me before she answers, "Humans … You don't want to believe in what this weak creature can do while seeking for power."

"Did you turn them?" I asked her meaning by that if she turned any human. Of course, A Lycan and not a werewolf - can turn a human, not into a Lycan but only a werewolf. Only if the human was strong enough to survive the bite.

"If you mean by turning them into dead bodies, then yeah, they are. Not my mistake, they were too weak to handle the bite, I just didn't warn them."

Did I tell you before how sort my mother is or was? Now, you know by yourselves.

"I need to warn witches before it is too late. Both of Liam and his mate must be in New Orleans, and they need to capture at least one of them." I told my mom.

"They only need Elizabeth. What do they have to do with Liam if they capture him? It's only going to be a lose-lose." Explain to my mother, while missing the type of relationship between both of Liam and Elisabeth.

"You need to see the bigger picture, mother. If you take a while to think about it … Who is Liam to Elizabeth? And who is Elizabeth to Liam?" I asked her.

"They're mates, they're both related to each other by the mate bond." She explains, and then I asked her again.

"What do you think Liam is doing in New Orleans at the right moment?" I asked her while pouring a glass of drink. I'm not the type to drink in the middle of a day … I mean, even if I want to, it's not possible – I'm a Lycan after all.

My mother seemed to finally see the bigger picture. "I see … He's there right now to save his beloved one. If we capture him, she'll come to us by herself. Well, he's nothing like his father, not like you darling, that's why you would make a better king than he's going to be." I felt proud of myself, after what my mother told me…

"Now what? How are we going to reach that witch friend of yours? I don't recall a way to get in connection with them."

My mother chuckled before she added, "And I think you're the smart one between us … Lucky you there is an invention, and it's called the phone." She said sarcastically, and I found it funny. So I laughed at myself, while she kept on explaining, 'You can use them to contact people! You only need their numbers, and it happens that I have Agatha's number…"

"Quiet the funny you are!" I told her while laughing beside her. As she went upstairs to do the call, I laid my head on one of the walls while remembering all that happened with Elisabeth.

When she was in my head, I was there too. I never thought that she's able to do so, but she was. She saw my identity, who I am, the monster I became.

She even opened the door where Tiana's memory was locked. Speaking of Tiana, no one needs to know what happened then, especially Elijah. Otherwise, all then my plans will be ruined.

I do know how to feel about what happened, but I know what I should do about it. I shall make sure that they both die so that I get the end I deserve, my happy ending.

Lost In my thought I was till my mother went with a wonderful smile drawn on her face.

"She'll be here soon, and she'll take us to New Orleans in no time."

"Okay!" was all I said since I was busy thinking about what was happening. I didn't want to tell her about that Elisabeth was on my head, only to never get her to worry, but I was anxious about it.

"So how it will take to have that friend of yours here?" I asked my mother, she answered.

"Until the transportation spell gets done!"

"And it's done, my sweet … Sweet darling!" Said someone who turned out to be Agatha.

"Agatha!" called my mother after the witch while opening her arms as a gesture of welcoming. They both hugged each other warmly while speaking some lady's nonsense.

I rolled my eyes at the scene in front of me, then I broke the awkward moment by speaking for the first time in a while.

"Both of Liam and Elisabeth should be in New Orleans by now, and they're both having a witch by their sides. The witch with Elizabeth turns out to be Logan's mate. He is a Lycan like me, not to mention that he's Elizabeth's brother." I explained to the so-called Agatha, and she started panicking.

"No! That's not true … There must be something wrong. Evanora can never have…" She got quiet for a while before she says, "Or she can."

She got quiet while lost in her though. Not until my mother cut her off.

"Evanora! What do you mean by Evanora?" Exclaimed my mother while she seemed a bit anxious.

The Agatha witch answered her the "We need to catch them both. Otherwise, it won't work."

"Wait … what? It has to, it should work. My all and everything is relying on it. " I shout at her "I am at the point where there is no going back. This has to work … Can't you find another witch to replace her." I asked her, but she did not answer me for a while, but then she shouts at me.

"It's not that simple… There are some conditions for the witch to be able to do sacrifice."

She was explaining, but I cut her off "Conditions like what?"

….
