Unknown Message

In Liza's dream...

Liza was running and no where to go. There were ruins, burnt houses and collapsing buildings and other structures around her. Scattered dead bodies of humans, vampires, witches, wolves and other supernatural that one can named off were everywhere. The smell of blood, burnt flesh and smoke starts to suffocate her. She only hears faint screams of agony and begging for mercy asking to no one in particular. The forest near here was halfway of being burnt to ashes.

"Liza, help us!"

"Her Majesty! Please save us!"

Liza looks around but she can't see any face. She just hear faint voices begging for help and some distinct voices that urge her to run faster and look for escape.

"Run! Don't look back. They will kill you." Liza knows that it was her Mom's voice screaming to her. "It's a trap to lure you."

"Mom! Where are you?"

"Liza, run faster! Look for Mike! He will help you! We love you remember that." She heard her father with a broken voice and a tear escaped from her eyes.

"Dad! Mom! I will come back to save you."

Liza tried to run a little harder but her feet starts to give away. The fear starts to engulf her and she cannot do anything to save her family. Suddenly, she feels that her bones starts to break. She notice that her nails were starting to elongate and fur starts to develop in her skin. She let out an audible howl due to pain then she started to shift into a lycan. But due to lack of strength, she collapsed to the ground but still conscious.

A large white wolf leap over her covering her. The wolf nudges her to assure if she is alright but she let out a low angry howl. The white wolf seems to be protecting her from the attacks the way he stances beside her when the wolf hears more howls of unknown wolves.

In her mind she heard "Mine" that seems to be Mike's voice but when she looked around she found no one except the wolf. When she looked at the eyes of the wolf, she remembered only one person and he was Mike. Then she returned in her human state and passed out.

When she woke up, she was in unfamiliar white room. She notice Mike sitting in a chair sleeping beside her bed. She tried to touch his hair but she can't move her hand. When she looked at her hand there was a handcuff and the more she stares at it, the more thorns started to grow. she used her other free hand to remove it but when she failed, she started to shake Mike. But in her horror, Mike was tossed effortless in the ground, she saw Mike's pale face and blood starting to pool in his mouth and and nose and his eyes were remove from its socket.

She tried to scream as loud as she can and she felt someone holding and shaking her. She tried to remove herself from those who were trying to touch her but she can't. She starts to hear something but she can't comprehend them due to panic arising to her. Afterwards...

"Liza! It's a dream wake up. I'm here. I won't leave you."

When she opened her eyes, she saw Mike's pained looked in her state. Tears started running in her eyes and Mike hug her.

"Aunt Amelia, Liza is awake!"

"What happened? I thought you're... you're..." Liza put her hand on her forehead when she starts to feel headache and cry harder.

"You were screaming and panting. I had been trying to wake you but you keep on pushing me."

They heard a slight sound of clearing a throat and both of them looked at the window. Mike stood up immediately to check if someone had been there but he seen no one. When he is about to close the window, he notice a piece of paper on the floor.

When he picked it up a message started to appear.

Please look after the last hope of the lycans

Dark Fire

Amelia rushed backed to Liza's room once she heard Mike telling her that she is already awake. Mike handed the letter to her and said that someone is asking for his help to protect the last hope of the lycans but when Amelia reads it...

Train and be strong. They are after your family. The war has just started.

Wind Death

"It is some kind of magic. Alejandro! I need you here!" Amelia shouted.

"Why panic young one?" Alejandro appeared in no where.

"Damn your freaking power!" Amelia clutches her heart when Alejandro appeared. "Do you know code names like Dark Fire or Wind Death?"

"Can't remember any but I Know Icy Spikes. He is my friend"

Amelia handed the letter to her brother. The rest started to emerge in the room to know how was Amelia.

"What do you read?"

Hey, Dude! I would like to set a meeting with you. We found new allies (hopefully). Our brothers are willing to help us.

Icy Spikes and Earth Thorn.

"Witches! I have to leave. It must be important for Icy to use power message like this." Alejandro disappeared in the room.

"How are you feeling Liza?" Amelia asked trying not to sound concern to her daughter.

"I'm having headache. What happened? Why Uncle Al is here?"

Amelia explained everything her daughter missed during the time she passed out. Mike excused himself feeling the need of the privacy for the two. He even pushed his family to leave the room to give them sometime for a motherly talk.

"Why would they do something like that?"

"We are still trying to figure it out, Honey"

"How long had I passed out?"

"A good 8 hours enough to make everyone worried, Honey. How are you feeling?"

"i feel tired. Where is Dad?"

"He is chained in the dungeon in their castle. It is only now when he shifted and he is having a hard time controlling his inner beast. Being a lycan comes with consequences especially when you're a royalty."

"How come that he only shifted now? "

"There were some that was not able to shift and they were skipped lycan or werewolves and your father was one of them not until now or because grandfather had given something to him to control is shape shifting abilities when he was still young. There was a prophecy that the child of the skipped lycan will be in danger, the lycan will be able to shift but the consequence the family would be facing would be a greater threat. The threat is either the child or the child of this child will be the destroyer or the savior of their kind. Before your father does not believe in that prophecy even I. Maybe that's the reason why your father suddenly called Sebastian and Alejandro when Rose called us telling what had happened."

"Did Dad show some signs that he will be shifting?"

"I am sorry to interrupt you guys but Samuel was not in the dungeons. He was able to fled and we are thinking that he is heading here," Sebastian butted.

They heard an angry howl outside. Everyone rushed to the garden to know who is the intruder and they saw a wolf with nine tails. The wolf looked at only two particular person in the group, Amelia and Liza, and he started walking to them slowly and carefully but the crowd were in the stance of fighting except Mike. When the wolf was in front of them, it started to purr in Amelia's hand trying its best to know that it was her husband.

"Glory to you, Great Nine-Tails. She is safe and no danger had happened. They gave us warnings of possible threat against our kind and I believe the dream that she had is a foretelling of war possible to occur any minute form now."

"Son! How could you be talking like that to someone who is not part of our pack. Especially of a royalty."

They heard an angry snarl and the wolf is eyeing at Alex ready to jump. But the wolf's eye seemed to pass his body freezing him in the spot and without warning the wolf attack someone behind Alex that took everyone in surprise since they can't see anyone behind him.

After the attack, they just saw a pool of black blood in the area and some splattered in the other part of the garden. Amelia uttered some kind of spell to reveal the unseen debris of the attack. everyone was horrified in the scene before their eyes. In just few moves the wolf there were scattered of many dead bodies and on oozing smell of rotting coming form the bodies.

The wolf shifted back to his human form and revealed that it was Samuel. Amelia order to Rose to get a blanket and then she run into the arms of her husband. Sebastian ordered his men to clean the garden and to make sure nothing would be left behind that took them for around half a day of cleaning. Zander asked for some samples to be examined and as Sebastian agreed, he also mentioned that some will be send to Alejandro to be further examination as well especially the black blood. Everyone went inside the mansion to take a rest after the stressful events. Sam cleaned himself before joining the group in the entertainment room.

"Thank you for keeping our daughter safe and not leaving the house, Son. I really believe that you are his mate and I can entrust the safety of my daughter to you, Mike."

"Finally, the spell has been broken."

"What do you mean, Sebastian?"

"When we were young, mom told that Sam will not be able to shift because a warlock cursed him during her pregnancy to save her due to immense power that he is releasing endanger Mom's health and that being a part of the prophecy he will not be able to shift not until his child is in danger."

"I thought he was a skipped lycan?"

"We are part lycan and werewolf. Our father is a werewolf while mother is a lycan. I get the lycan and he got the werewolf. The warlock ensured that we are not hybrids. He grew up thinking that he will not be able to shift anymore but no one among us knows about the great nine -tailed wolf."

"Ms Amelia, the rooms are now prepared," Rose said.

"It's been a long two days. I guess everyone needs some rest. You may have the guest rooms. that Rose prepared."

"Thank you for your hospitality, Amelia. Rose, Ana and Lea will be assisting you with the meal that should be here any minute they already bought some groceries."

"Mike, please stay with my daughter," Sam said hugging his daughter nefore they all go to their rooms to take the needed rest.
