Chapter 16

The next morning... Um.. afternoon, you wake up and just get ready. "Man.. It is 12 pm and I am still sleepy." you say yawning and getting down the stairs.

"Mom.. You there?" you say.

"She went to supermarket." you hear Y/B saying from the living room. "Oh.. When did you get up?" you ask.

"Just about thirty mins ago, I guess." he answers.

"Ok." you say entering the kitchen.

After having breakfast or brunch-

"So, what are your plans?" you ask sitting on the sofa. "Nothing much, honestly." he replies getting off his phone.

"Should we go out with a few friends?" you ask. "Hm.. Yeah, sounds good.. " he says.

"K. I should inform the others about this." you say.

You chat with Akari, Tsukiyomi, Aoki and Yuki and ask them to join you for a night out.

They all agree and you inform your mother about it and leave at around 5 pm or so.

"Hey.." you say after finding Tsukiyomi near the park. "Oh. Hi.. How are you?" he asks smiling. "Fine.. How is life with you?" you ask back.

"Hmm. Pretty nice." he answers. "Y/N! Tsuki! Y/B!!" a feminine voice shouts.

You all turn towards the noise and find Akari running to you. "Hi!" Y/B starts a conservation with Akari.

After about fifteen minutes, everyone arrived and you all took off by 6 pm.

The first few minutes, everyone was deciding to go to different places. "Arcade." Yuki says. "Internet Café." Aoki says.

"I will go with Aoki!" Y/B instantly says. "Dude. We came out to do other stuff. You can game even while sitting in the bed." you say.

"Yeah.. Bu-" Y/B says. "No buts.. Let's go to arcade, then to the mall I guess?" Yuki says.

"Hm. Sounds good." you and Tsuki agree. "Then, let's go to a restaurant." Y/B says. "Ok/K/Hmm." everyone agrees and starts walking.

After all that-

"I am so tired and full!" Y/B says sitting on a bench in the park. "You are right about that." Aoki say sitting beside him.

"Hmm. I am sleepy too." you say yawning and stretching. "Hmm.." Yuki groans almost dozing off.

"Let's head home then." Akari says standing up. "Let's go." you say getting up.

Everyone reaches their houses and after a point of time, you and Y/B are the only ones walking.

Y/B runs to the house because he wants to use the restroom and wants to go to sleep fast. So, now you were the only one left, walking slowly.

You turn left and see the dark, creepy house. "Hmm. Is the old woman still there?" you ask yourself.

Your eagerness to get the answer increases and you step inside the house. It was dark inside and the energy around the house was way different from the energy outside.

It feels like you have stepped into some other dimension.

You explore the house and go up the stairs. There you find the same painting Tsukiyomi found.. People with ears and tails.

"Wolves, maybe?" you mumble in a low voice while touching the painting. You decide to go down the stairs after a while of exploring the room upstairs.

You reach the door and almost open it when a shadow pops in front of you. "Aah!" you shout jumping back. You look at it and find a old lady.

"Oh! Why is everyone here? You all don't belong here! Miss! Please go back to Pethra.. People need you!!" the old lady shouts.

"What is Pethra? Why do people need me?" you ask. "You are the female Alpha of the.. Hmm! North City! Oh. What beautiful hair and looks everyone has there! You are definitely from there!!" she explains.

"Umm. Ok? I am just going to go out." you say opening the door and run outside instantly.

"The hell just happened?" you think while running to your house.

After you reach home-

"Why is it so dark here?" you ask yourself in a low voice. "I think everyone slept.." you think.

You start walking up the stairs as quietly as possible. As soon as you open your room's door, Y/B walks out of his room.

You turn around instantly and whisper in a low voice, "Why are you still awake? I thought you were sleepy."

"I was waiting for you to come first." he answers. "Ok.. Oh.. By the way, I went in the creepy house thingy." you whisper again.

He doesn't say anything and pulls you into his room. "Did you meet her? The old lady?" he asks.

"Yeah.. She did mention something like Pethra.. North city.. Female alpha.." you reply.

"Hmm.. I am the Male Alpha from the East City. And you are the Female alpha from the North City." he mumbles to himself.

"Yep." you say yawning. "Ok.. Let's talk about this tomorrow.. We both are sleepy anyways.." he says.

"K.. Good night." you say walking out of his room to your room.

You lie on the bed after changing into your night suit. "I am very sleepy right now.. Pethra.. Pethra.." you mumble before falling into deep slumber.

The next morning, you wake up and go downstairs.

"Good morning.. I did some research on Pethra.. But nothing actually came out.." Y/B says while sitting on the sofa.

"I do remember she said something like, 'You all shouldn't be here'. So, who are 'all'?" you ask.

"Do you think.. More people have met this old woman?" Y/B asks looking at you seriously.

"Hmm.. Maybe." you say.

Few hours later-

You go out in the park for a walk where you find Tsukiyomi sitting on a bench. "Hey bro.." you greet after walking up to him.

"Oh. Hi." he greets you back. "You don't look well.. Are you okay?" you ask looking at his serious but worried face.

"It is nothing actually.." he says. "Ok.." you say sitting next to him.

"You know I believe a lot in parallel universes and all.. Right?" he asks you out of the blue.

"Yes.. I know.. What about them?" you ask.

"Do you remember the creepy looking house that we pass after returning from school?" he asks.

You look at him with a little doubt and reply, "Yes?" "I kinda.. Sorta.. Went in there.."

"Really?!" you shout getting up. "Yeah.." he says a little confused. "And I suppose you saw an old lady there?" you ask.

He looks at you surprised and says....
