Chapter seven : Begin again.

A year has passed after the awakening Ceremony, that night Riftan has mark me as his. So many things happened since that day and now i'm living with Riftan in his mansion. A huge mansion that has been expend from a small cottage hall into a mansion. I learn about my wolf and of course i have named my wolf too.

"Dimond.." I called out my wolf.

"Yes Rosie?"

"I was thinking to break my record and train my leg more. Maybe we can go hunt for dinner. I want to surprise Riftan with a moose."

"Moose is the best! Let's go!" Diamond is the named that i decided to give her. I get up and start working on my flexibility and warm up my body for a run. Then a noise coming from the kitchen made me startled for a moment.

I ran down to the kitchen, believe me the kitchen is so much bigger than the normal kitchen. I saw Cameron , tom and leah in the kitchen.

"hmm.. what's going on in here?" I look at them and they were looking for excuses to clean up the mess except for Cameron. He just shook his head in frustration.

"Luna.. We're just experimenting.." Say Tom while holding a mop.

"It's nothing serious.." say Leah, she quickly hide a piece of paper behind her back.

"Really? So what are you hiding from me my dear cousin?" I walk to Leah and snatch the paper from her hands.

"They wanted to baked a cake for your monthly anniversary." Say Cameron, breaking their secret. Leah and Tom look at him with a betrayal looks.

"Anniversary? Did we celebrate it in here?"

"Of course darling.." A woman voice coming from the kitchen front door. It was Sarah, Riftan adopted sister. Basically Riftan met Sarah when Sarah was 6 years old back in 1986. She's the first werewolf that learn magic from a witch and pleaded to protect Riftan for the rest of her life or you can simply say she's the first warrior that served Riftan as her leader.

"Sarah... you're back!" I hug her as tight as i can, eventho sarah stuck in her 17 years old body, she's stronger than any of us in here. Her innocent look is scary.

"Of course i'm back! I have a big sister to welcome me every single time i come back home."

"You're so cute!" I squeeze her cubby cheeks and just hug her again.

"Maybe we should try different things." say Cameron. Cameron and tom is a unique one, they were born as half witch and half werewolf. Cameron and Tom can both use magic or transform into wolf. Both of them is Riftan good old friend. They been with him since his just a baby. Cameron is the older brother and Tom is the second.

"Hi baby.." Sarah lean in for a kiss from Tom and yes they are mates.

"I missed you.." Tom hug Sarah and shower her with kisses. While Cameron looks disgusted with both of them.

"Luna.. Lets go hunt your moose and leave them here.." Say Cameron walking out from the kitchen.

"How do you know?"

"I can read your heart desire. Leah you coming or you staying?" Ask Cameron with his carefree voice.

" yup.. i'm coming with you.." Leah walk towards us and we left for the hunt.

After a while, we managed to catch a big fat moose. I'm patting my own self , proud with the progress that i have made so far.

"Good catch Rosie.." say Cameron, he didn't even help us catching it. Most of the time, he sit and read his own book.

"Tell me again why did you come if you have zero intention to help us to catch one?" ask leah, she's sweating the most. All the hard work and heavy lifting is made for Leah.

"Because i know our luna need time to practice her senses and her ability to mindlink us." Cameron come down from the tall trees and land on top of a big rock.

"I been thinking to try connecting my mind to Riftan but he so difficult..!" I sigh knowing that Riftan must have lot in his mind and his the only one i wanted to know the most.

"Alpha Riftan? Just give up on him. I've been trying to open his mind and read his desire but i only found a dead end. Maybe there's something he don't want to share with us?" Cameron trigger my desire for wanting to connect with Riftan.

"Cameron! Stop it..! Its not fair for you and your mood spell.." Cameron just smile and look at me cause i'm the first person that crack his talent. His ability to conceal others and control anyone moods is such a rare things.

"How do you know i was doing something?"

"It's easy. You maintain your eyes to lock someone and you just influence people. I know cause you been doing it since I step my feet in this continent.."

"Hah..! you figure it out faster than any of the people here.."

"Well.. It's nothing since i can read your mind clearly. Your mind is so weird and filled with all sort of magic stuff but it's the most transparent mind i even seen.."

Cameron was shock for the fact that i've master my second stage in just a month. The third stage is the hardest. In order to use my talent and unlock my gift is by going thru difficulty every single day. I need to have a clearer picture of understanding how my gift will help us to get more information.

"Maybe you need a good old mind like Riftan.." Leah just burst out the idea randomly without actually knowing it might be work!

"You're right! I can read everyone's mind in this camp but his mind is solid.. Maybe if i try to find the right path to his mind. I can see what is happening to him. In his past life.." I stop when i can sense another smell coming from the west. Cameron and Leah sense it too.. We take a defensive stance and just observe the woods around us. Everything is just so quiet.

'This scent is different from us.' say leah using mindlink.

'I think its the best if we take it down before it reach the camp.' say Cameron.

'Wait! This scent has many..' It's not just one person but judging by the scent, its around 50 people.. I look at Cameron and he giving me a signal to run up in the trees. Leah nod knowing she need to stay in order for us to escape.

'I will hold on since i'm the strongest among us.' say leah..

'we will come back for you..! Stay safe..!' Cameron pull my hand and we both fly into the tall trees. Suddenly a waves of wolf coming at Leah direction. 50 werewolves verse one. But i must have faith in her. She knows what to do.

"Quickly Luna!" We both run towards the camp while i connected to everyone. They all prepared for a sudden ambush and Riftan stand only outside the gate waiting for me and Cameron.

At the distance, i see him.. Riftan run towards me and i thought his going to catch me but the moment he pass next to me and heading to the woods along side with his warrior, I stop and wanted to chase him. But Sarah pull my hands into the gate.

"W-wait! Riftann..!" I scream his name and he just let out a big howl telling us to be aware.

"Stop Rosie..! You have to hide now!" Sarah pull me back and we enter a cabin. I was naked after transformation.

"What do you mean with hide?! Riftan just ran out into the woods and you want me to hide?! What kind of Luna will i be if i'm not standing here with my people?!" I shout at Sarah, her face reaction seem calm.

"It is because you're the main target.." Say sarah.

"What do you mean?"

"This few weeks, we have been tracking the scent trace around the woods and i managed to hold a person." Sarah wrap me a towel and hand out my clothes. I quickly wear my clothes and Sarah took me to the prisoner.

"Youu...!" Its the same girl that i met when surgieo attacked me.

"You knew her?" ask Sarah, she open up the gate and as we enter, i see that girl has been torture. She's in bad shape.

"What did you do to her?" I walk a few step ahead but sarah stopped me again.

"Its dangerous to be close to her. Those blood is not a good thing. Her whole body is poisonous.. She has killed two guard just by letting his blood touches your skin.." I step back at least 5 meter away from her.

"You're name is Sasha right?" i asked her. The look in her face is a bit scary. But her eyes shown nothing more than hatred towards me.

"I will kill you bitch! I WILL KILL YOU!!!" She suddenly move and waiting to break free from the chain but it's useless.

"Why did you serve Surgieo? What do you want from me?" I asked Sasha again..

"I WANT YOU DEAD!! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! YOU FUCKING BITCH! I KILL YOU! I KILL YOU!"

I look at Sarah and she knew what i was going to do.

"Be careful.. Her mind is twisted, if you don't get a hold to yourself. You might get trapped inside.."

"I know.. That's why i need to do this and find her core.." I took a seat and focus on Sasha mind.

"Look at me sasha.. I'm sorry for what you been through.." I try to bait her to answer me, for as soon as she's answer I can get in her mind easily.

"YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ME!" Then she knew what i'm doing.

"So you trying to get in my mind.." She smile and look at Sarah who's standing in between us. Sarah instantly knew its a trap.

"Rosie..! Stop!" But its too late, i was in Sasha mind.

Her mind is full with rage. I manage to see a few memories that she had, she's been torture by her parents and she's been sold to prostitution owner. Her wolf has been separated from her.. I cannot believe those human make her as an object. Her feelings, her traumatic past, her revenge and hatred for human is darker than i ever see. But there's one person who loved her for what she is. A man from a different tribe, her mate eventho she's no longer a shewolf. She was happy. She was living in her happiness everyday in her day until she found her mate died. And the person who killed her mate is Riftan..! Since than she swear she will kill Riftan mate and torture him the same way but much worse when he took her lovers away from her. That's when she met Surgieo, surgieo promised her that he will awake her mate once again if she can killed me..

"This is..!" I suddenly snap out from her mind and when i open my eyes. It was Sarah. She's pulling my mind back and my nose bleed.

"Rosie..! You okay?!" Sarah hold my upper nose and help me stop the bleeding but then Sasha laugh loudly and stop.

"You're dead.." Her looks filled with satisfaction when she saw me bleed.

"What happen?" I hold my nose and look at Sarah.

"Her mind and her memories has find its way to poison your mind and corrupt it. You need to stop her memory stay in your mind.." explain Sarah.

"How is that even possible? Im just a few second in her mind.. ugh ugh.." I cough up and i can feel a sudden pain in my heart.

"Rosie..!" Sarah grab me up and help me to sit. But if i knew this is the price, i shouldn't have look into her mind. But it is too late.. I have to finish what i have started.

"I'm gonna finish whatever i start!" I try to stand up and walk towards Sasha. Sarah pull my hand and try to stop me from committing suicide but i knew its now or never. Her soul is being torture every single day. She only tasted happiness for a while then it was taken away from her again. No wonder she's full with rage. I walk to Sasha and put my hands on her head, I force my way in her mind again.

I saw a-lot more painful events and i was trying to find her core. Her mind. Her source of hatred. And i come out with her memories as a child. Her very first time feeling angry. She was bullied by her own sister. Her parents loved her sister more than her. I look down into her memories and suddenly i was in her memories.

"Give me back my doll!" shout sasha, they were fighting over a doll.

"No! This is mine!" Her older sister pull it harder until the doll almost cut into two. Then sasha let go the doll.

"Ah!" cried her older sister. Sasha let go of the doll and her older sister accidentally hit one of the table. Her older sister face have a small cut.

"Mommy! Daddy!! Look what Sasha did to me!" Her older sister cried and their parents running toward the living room. They saw how bad Sasha did to her sister.

"You really are looking for a beating!" Sasha's father pull her hand and push her down at the floor and her father took a long slim wood and hit it to Sasha hands. Her father abuse her without having a slightest mercy.

"STOP!" I hold her father hands from swinging that thing on Sasha. I was surprise when i can feel the warm and they can see me.

"Who the hell are you?! Are you a witch too?! Is this your whore mother?!" Her dad look at Sasha, but sasha doesn't even know who i am.

"A witch?"  I look at Sasha and push her father away. I took Sasha in my arms and look at her hands and feets. She's bleeding more than her older sister.

"Put her down!" Say the father, he stand and ready to attack me. But i able to avoid his attack and i simply throw him outside. Sasha looks afraid.

"Don't worry Sasha, i will change your life.." I put Sasha down in her chair and turn my way to her mother and sister.

"Go away you wicked witch!" Shout Sasha's mother while holding a bottle of salt in her hands.

"You should love your daughter equally and not just treat her like a dog!" I slap her mother twice, her mother hit the floor, i hit her mother quiet hard and look at her older sister who's hiding under the table. I walk to her older sister and push the table away. I pull her sister to where Sasha is. But her older sister bite my hand.

" You evil witch!" Shout sasha's older sister. I slap her sister too and she's fall to the ground. I didn't mean to hurt her sister badly but the anger that i've felt on this moment is so much!

"You should learn to confess your sin and ask forgiveness from Sasha! Now Apologies young lady!" I shout pretty loud to her older sister. I drag her and pull her down right in front of Sasha. Sasha was confuse and afraid of me.

" Please don't kill me.." beg her older sister.

"Sasha.. What do u want me to do? I can kicked their asses for you until you say stop or you choose to forgive them.." That's the main question, if Sasha order me to kill them, i knew it was too late for me to save her. But if she choose to forgive them. I can open up her heart.

"I.. I don't know.." reply young Sasha.. She's literally crying when i beat her mother and father. I take another step. I slap her older sister hard.

"SASHA..! make it stop..!" Her older sister beg and cry in the same time.

"Tell me Sasha.. Which one you choose kill or save?" I need to push her limit even tho i knew this is not right.

"Please.. Don't kill my family.." Sasha decided to save her family. She ran towards me and beat my legs with her bleeding hands and pull her older sister away from me.

"So you love your family?" I asked her

"No matter what happens, i won't let you kill them.!" shouted sasha , holding her older sister in her arms. I walk to her and pat her head, she close her eyes thinking i will hit but i just gentle run my hands on her hair.

"I know you're not a bad person Sasha. You love them so much even tho it hurts. Don't worry about your future. Someday we will meet again.." I walk away and leave her memories.
