Like a Tyro

Rustling sounds of leaves could be heard inside the woods that night as Kimberly made her way to the clan's coven cave with a lantern and a map in her hand. She was putting on a black cloak just just as a supreme witch of Dark North clan should.

The map and the cloak was delivered to her by the servant from Salem's lair few days after she was called. It's been two weeks since her visit to the abandoned house.

Two days ago, she had received an untainted dove. It was the sigh to attend the clan's coven gathering today.

However, Kimberly walked for about fifteen more minutes before sighting a dark cave in front of her. She has never been there for once in her entire life but the place looked kind of strangely familiar to her as if she had been there countless of times before.

On getting to the cave, she made to enter but it seemed like there was an invisible barrier hindering her from going in. At the same time, the barrier hinders one from seeing the inside of the cave as well.

Nevertheless, Kimberly was not surprised as she already expected that.

She dropped the lantern and the map she was holding on her left hand on the ground. She slowly pulled out her left hand from the cloak and immediately the tattooed symbol on her wrist came into view.

Without further ado, she slowly placed her left palm in the barrier...

Not less than ten seconds after she placed her palm on the barrier. Her palm glowed together with the symbol on her wrist. Like a portal, the barrier slowly opened.

Without wasting much time, Kimberly picked up the map together with the lantern and entered into the cave.

Immediately after Kimberly went pass the barrier, it slowly returned back to it's former state.

"Wait don't tell me, you won again?" Ethan asked looking at Luna whom he is playing game of chess with.

"Yeah, I won again..!" she said shinning her beautiful set of white teeth.

She is Roman's Junior sister and just like Roman, she's got a strange power. She is half-siren and half-werewolf but her wolf ability is less than average. She has strong sense of smell and hearing like a wolf should but she can't transform. But however, her siren ability on the other hand was more than average which gave her the power to see visions.

Yes..! Visions..

But unfortunately her visions aren't always detailed. It could either come as a dream or a shreds of memory flash but wherever it comes as a memory flashes, she thrashes.

"Don't tell me you are cheating" Ethan asked.

"No am not cheating"she said and twitched her lips, she is mostly seen around males more than females, and she dresses like a tomboy at times.

"Am done with this game anyway..." Ethan said standing up.

"Feels so good to defeat you" Luna muttered but he heard her.

"You were cheating.." Ethan said.

"Whatever..."Luna replied with an eye roll and immediately earned a flick on the forehead from Ethan.

"Arrrghh.... what was that for..?" Luna asked rubbing the area with a furrowed brows.

"That's what you get for cheating.." Ethan said with a playful smirk that left Luna gushing at his handsomeness. She bit her lower lip softly there is no doubt that she had a big crush on him, but he is an introvert and he hardly talks to people expect the Alpha and Roman his best friends. That he was playing games with her was because Roman was not around to keep her company.

"Luna..!"

"Huh..?!" Luna blinked rapidly as she snapped her senses back to reality.

"What is it..?" She asked as she tried to avoid having an eye contact with him.

"Why are they so red...? Are you suddenly having a fever..?" Ethan asked as he pointed at her two cheeks, and Luna's palms subconsciously followed touching her cheeks.

Realizing what he meant, Luna's cheek reddened more including her ears and she couldn't help but run out of the room with her face palmed in embarrassment.

Ethan on the other hand, chuckled as he looked towards the way she took.

"She's cute.." He muttered and slowly left the room.

However..

"Do you always have to be so stupid Luna?" Luna slapped herself mentally as she ran into the kitchen.

" But he is so handsome.. isn't he..?" Layla her wolf whispered.

"I know.. he is..." Luna muttered helplessly walking to the cupboard but not without shutting Layla out. If not, she would still be answering unnecessary questions that Layla would be throwing to her on how hot Ethan is.

She took out a sachet of coffee from the cupboard and tore it open. Pouring it into a cup and she added a hot water to it. Grabbing a spoon from the spoon set, she stirred it and smiled alluringly as the sweet scent of the coffee reached her nostrils.

She slowly raised the cup close to her mouth and just when she made to sip from it. The cup slipped off from her hand and crashed to the floor breaking to pieces.

She thrashed but was fast enough to grab the table so as not fall or injure herself with the broken cup. Suddenly, her eyes changed to a complete white without orbs. A strong headache hit her causing her to fell down to the floor from the impact and unfortunately one of the pieces of the broken cup pierced her left arm.

"Aarrgghh" she yelped in pain as visions came inform of memory flashes.

Inside the woods of North moon clan, a lady could be seen walking through the path that leads to the Gotham cave with a black mist surrounding her. The cloth the lady was putting on was white but something was strange....

The cloth was slowly changing to black, starting from the down tip of the gown.

But what was more strange was that with each step the lady took, the plants or trees she passes dies instantly.

"Aaarrrgghhh" Luna screamed and Ethan rushed into the kitchen.

"Luna, Luna are you okay??" He asked bending in front of Luna who's eyes have gone back to normal.

"Arrgh..." She groaned in pain as the blood from the injury in her left arm bled profusely.

"Who was that..?" She thought breathing heavily as beads of sweat formed on her face.

"Where is the Alpha..?" She asked not minding the bleeding arm but Ethan ignored her and lifted her up in a bridal style rushing out of the kitchen. He knew she just had a vision and that's why she was looking for the Alpha.

Once they were in his room, he brought out the Treatment box and began dressing her injury.

"Don't worry, I will be fine just tell me where the Alpha is... I have something to tell him.." Luna said but Ethan didn't say a word.

"You know, l can always treat this later.."

"And you can always go to the Alpha later.." Ethan interrupted her, he nearly snapped.

Mustn't she take care of her bleeding arm first..?

Or did she think the Alpha would applaud her for coming to him with an injured arm? He thought.

Realizing that he was angry with her, Luna kept quiet and allowed him to do his stuff.

"Mmh..." she moaned in pain.

"Sorry.." Ethan whispered, soothing her pains as he blew lightly on the injury.

*******

At the same time...

Walking into the dark cave, a cold glint flashed on her face as she made her way inside.

This was the place her mother treasured...!

This place was were all her mother's days went...!

This was were her mother choose to be when she could her been with her...!

And this place was also the same place her mother was accused and persecuted....!

How ironic..!

Not wanting to feel emotional, she shrug off the thoughts and continued walking.

At some steps inside the cave, she could hear murmurs and that accelerated her steps as she went further.

Whatever is controlling her right now, she has no idea, but it's surely not stopping soon.

Kimberly could see many symbols boldly brocaded on the walls of the cave with the red candles placed at each side of the cave at intervals.

Some of the symbols were already familiar to her with the help of the red wood she got from her mother's underground coven stead. While the others which were supposed to be unfamiliar to her, were strangely familiar.

Going deeper inside, she could here some sounds that were more like murmurs but she couldn't here it clearly.

However...

Immediately she stepped into the coven, a cleaning of throat was heard. Instantly, everywhere went silent and the attention was shifted to the one who cleared the throat. And it was none other than Louis.

"She's here..." Louis muttered to the hearing of all and instantaneously all head snapped towards the entrance where Kimberly stood.

She walked like a tyro to where Michelle was and stood beside her. The place was also the very position of her mother before at the coven. She made a smile gesture to Michelle who returned it with an obvious fake one.

Kimberly took a glance of the faces of the other members of the coven. Some looked at her in disdain while some were of indifference including Lucas.

However...

" We all know her but I would still like to introduce her... She is Kimberly Hills, the daughter of the late Helena Hills and the one that completes our circle..." Louis spoke up after a while.

"What's she doing here?"

"How shameless.."

"We don't need a newbie here.."

Murmurs could be heard immediately after Louis spoke but it was mostly coming from the females especially the one at the extreme which was none other than Lucia.
