She Is Hybrid

Frank came closer and held my head on his chest.

"Don't cry. It's all over and fine now. Let bygones be bygones." He consoled me. But the emotional dam in my heart broke apart.

Saya came closer and held my hands.

"Calm down." She said,

"I didn't want to hide it from you, but it was Emerald's last wish, and to keep you safe, it was necessary." Douard apologized.

I looked at him silently.

I now know what happened to my parents this late. My mother only thought of my safety, even at death's door. It is saddening.

Saya looked troubled at my state. So, I wiped off my tears.

"What did she look like?" I asked Douard. But he stood silent.

William and Saya got mixed into the matter in which they should not have. It was still hard for them to grasp the matter.

It was evening, soon Saya and William got busy cooking and the guide they called returned.

Frank looked very serious.

"What happened? Is something the matter?" I asked. But he just looked at me.

Saya and William were busy cooking. Frank turned into a wolf.

'He met me while hunting and it was evening now. He needed to go,' I thought.

In my heart, I knew he will come back soon tomorrow. I started loving him and my heart beat faster when I think about him.

The next morning, Frank appeared with two other new people. Douard could sense who they were, but my wolf inside was dormant, sleeping. So, I stood unaware of what would happen next.

One of them turned into the wolf and jumped in front of me, and growled. I stepped back in shock.

"Stop!" Frank shouted.

One in front of me changed back and looked at Frank. "She is a vampire," she said.

"Betty! back off." another person called her.

"But Ned, how can you let her off? She is dangerous if left alone," she said.

Frank stood quietly.

'What are they talking about?' I thought, confused.

I was a werewolf just yesterday, but why is she calling me a vampire?

"She is not dangerous," Ned said.

"Humph!" Betty, whom I knew in such a way, looked unsatisfied with what was going on.

"What? You found your mate?" Betty asked Frank, surprised.

"You were lonely after your father passed away. Now you've got a partner. You'll be alright now that you got to share your pain and joy with," Ned said.

"I also couldn't believe it when I first met her, but my wolf recognized my mate," Frank said.

"Yes! and now our pack will be livelier than before," Betty added.

"After you're all ready, we will meet her and bring her here," Frank said, blushing.

"But from which pack is she?" She asked.

"I didn't ask her about that."

"huh! sigh!" she sighed.

"You were busy doing lovey-dovey stuff that you didn't ask her name," she doted at him.

"Let's go if you will only fight like that," Ned intervened.

(At the camp now)

'How can I be a vampire? I felt something unfamiliar, but it was unexpected,' I thought.

Ned approached me and checked. He nodded and turned to Frank.

"Alene is a hybrid," He said.

"She will either change into a vampire or a werewolf," He added.

I looked at Douard for an answer. He nodded his head.

I couldn't grasp sudden interaction with Betty, but now I seemed in an ambiguous situation.

"You are born of a vampire and a werewolf, Alene. But it is uncertain what you will become after your 17th birthday," Douard said.

"what's there to become? I sense a vampire in her. If she stays that way, it will be troublesome for our pack," Betty said.

She looked at Frank.

"What will you do, Frank?" she asked.

I looked at him with pleading eyes, expecting sympathy. He looked into my eyes.

"My mate is a werewolf. And my wolf recognized Alene. Even if she gets abandoned, I will go with her." He said.

Deep down, Frank hoped I would turn into a werewolf instead of a vampire in my coming-of-age. His unwavering decision and love for me made my heart swell up.

Douard looked very pleased with the decision. But…

"How foolish! It's ridiculous. Can't you see what she will become? She is a walking hazard and will bring disaster if let be." Betty sneered.

She thought differently and didn't believe in me. From the beginning, she saw me as a danger, but nothing more. I don't know what is truth and what will happen. Hoping that everything will become right as time passes, I stood silent.

"Betty, it is still not clear that she will only become a vampire. What if she turns into a werewolf and becomes a deserving partner for Frank?" Ned tried to calm the situation.

It was not worth fighting for a uncertain. His words gave me hope and calmed me. Everything unfolded fast. Various things happened.

"But I love Frank and can even face the very death too," I wailed.

"Nothing changes from changing words and denying the fact which will come in the face," Betty said, still indifferent to the situation.

"Enough!" Ned shouted.

"Don't stretch the matter. We need to discuss it with everyone." He said.

"Informing pack members of what she is and finding a better way to deal with the situation is important," He added.

"Let's go for now," Ned said, shooting his hands in the air.

"We'll meet soon," Frank said.

All of them left me, with disturbing news behind.
