Chapter 2

~~Chapter 2~~

{Hazel's POV}

All I could see were books and books and books. This certainly looked like a library or more of a museum. I stayed close to Ava, when we heard a hoist laugh from a corner of the tower.

I turned to see where the sound was coming from, and suddenly there appeared a throne and a woman was on it. She looked as beautiful as a mermaid but yet fierce as Dragon.

"Who's that, Ava." I said with fear and perspiration all over my body. I felt goosebumps on my skin as I held ava with all my might like my life depended on her.

"Shhhh, Hazel... She is called AKIRA mother of the seven stones." She answered in low tones almost as if she was whispering.

"Seven stones?? What the hell is that?" I queried. This looked like an ancient museum to me but I couldn't care less. I really wanted to understand what was going on. If this was a figment of my imaginations

"Hazel.. focus, you can't ask that many questions in here." She answered with a furrowed brow.

"Hazel, mother." Ava said as she bowed and shifted to a corner making me stand directly to the woman.

"Good, Ava, a job well done." She complimented as she smiled at Ava.

"They are still after her, mother." Ava said with a face filled with worry.

"Who?." Akira asked.

You could see the anger in her expression, it was almost as if there were demons in her eyes.

"The MANTIS army in collaboration with the witches."

"No way, I need more information on that....but that's for later," she sighed, "Hazel, come with me, there is something you need to know."

I followed her obediently because her aura was so intimidating. We walked up to the upper Chambers of the tower through a conjoining door till we got go a room called THE FORBIDDEN ROOM.

"This is the forbidden room, in this room you'll learn a lot about yourself."

She said as she winked at me.

"Learn a lot about myself, huh, I know who I am, I am Hazel, daughter of alpha Daniel. What else is there to know?." I said with a smirk on my face. What the hell.

"Hush now Hazel, step onto the portal, and close your eyes."

"But........"

"Now Hazel, it's now or never cause it's almost time to return home."

I closed my eyes as I stepped on the portal.

"Breathe." Instructed.

I breathed slowly and steadily with both eyes closed as I felt a surge of electricity flow through me.

"Focus Hazel, listen to sound of the trees breathing along with you as you feel rooted in this moment." She said almost in a whisper and with authority.

Just then Ava and Akira began chanting.

"The maiden, the mother, the crown."

"The maiden, the mother, the crown."

They kept chanting and chanting. Woah, was this some kind of initiation or what.

How is this supposed to help me learn more about myself.

"How is the girl?." I asked with a smirk on my face.

"Done and dusted." Tayla answered with a huge smile on her face.

"Is she dead yet." That is the only thing I want to hear at the moment.

"Umm, no aunt, she's unconscious at the moment but I assure that she won't make it out alive, there is no way that is possible." Tayla answered with all the braveness she could gather. That's how I like it anyways

"Well then, keep a eye on her, and secondly have you seen Flint?." I asked. That knuckle butt called my son.

"No aunt, but if I see him, I'll tell him that you're looking for him." She answered with her head fownt.

"Forget it, I'll find him myself, I'm sure he's up to something." I said

"Yes aunt." Tayla answered.

"You my leave,now." I instructed dismissing her

"But aunt, there is something I'd like to dis........."

She tried to say.

"I said you're excused, leave." I interrupted her leaving her no choice but to do as I said

"Ok aunt." She said as she curtsied and left.

That girl is not dead yet, hmm, I see, maybe she needs a little bang on the head. I ain't giving her no choices this time. She has to return to Hades. This earth is no longer meant for her. Her time is up.

We all were at the hospitals ward, and when I say we all, I mean all our gang members. Hazel was one of us but no one has any idea on what happened to her. Shes just unconscious and there is no sign of her waking up. We can't losing her. It was just the four. I , Hazel,Axel and Rowan. We were hated because we were human among the wolves. But it was still strange since Hazel belongs to the wolves blood line but she's not a wolve, neither is she a human or at least a witch. We all sat silently round her praying for a miracle to happen. Till Axel broke the silence.

"Guys, I was just thinking about something just now." He said as he crossed his arms and stared at Hazel grabbing our attention.

"And what could that be?." Rowan asked as we peered into Axel's eyes with keen interest.

"What if....what if Hazel never wakes up. I mean, What are we gonna do?." He blurted out with tear filled eyes.

"Shut the fvck up Axel, we can't think negative now, Hazel is a fighter, she'll definitely come out of this. I Know it." Rowan said giving us all the assurance we needed. That was the assurance we wanted at the moment to soothe our broken soul.

Tbe next thing Axel did was to kneek in front of Hazel and he said.

"You have to wake up Hazel, if not for anything, for us." Axel broke down in tears, no doubt he was scared of losing her. We were all scared anyways.

I could feel the pain, the pain of losing one of our best friends. The pain of seeing Hazel in pain and not able to do anything. Yes it's true, you have to wake up Hazel. We are not giving up on you, not now, not ever.
