CHAPTER FOUR: PAINFUL SEPARATION

A month passed by in the blink of an eye, it was another month of normal routine in the world. The world goes by and people go by with it. Elizabeth and Mark were already living in a remote village. Meanwhile, it was a month of torment in the primordial forest. Each day spent waiting for information from the seer was like a year to them. Seer entered closed-door divination when he received the information, the only time he opens the door is when he need fresh blood. He continued this and almost five hundred humans had been killed for blood. Finally, on the twenty-ninth day of his secluded divination, he emerged with a pale face and bloodied mouth.

"I seriously can't take the backlash from this guy again, it's very heavy," He told Tiger who was already waiting for him. The latter was looking out from the window but turned around when he heard Seer's voice and immediately walked to Seer to collect the picture from him.

"I want a cup of his blood after you capture him," Seer said as he handed Tiger the picture.

Tiger looked at the picture. "Deal," He said as he grinned and left Seer who already collapsed on the ground. He passed the information to the leaders of the families that the source of the calamity is out already.

One hour later, the leaders already gathered in the meeting room.

"Tiger let's see this information," One of the leaders said impatiently.

"Don't worry about it, the information is not running away" Tiger said as he smiled at their impatience. Minutes later, Three ladies came into the room and distributed a paper to every of the leader. They read the paper, it was talking about the information of Mark.

"He is Mark Spencer. His origin is unknown but he somehow arrived at St Mary's orphanage and was adopted. His foster parent also died when he was of age. He is a talented biologist" Tiger told them.

"Any information about his where-about," One of the leaders asked.

"We don't know his location yet but he was suspected to be found in England and his girlfriend also went missing I've told the humans to get information about him even if they have to activate God's eyes," Tiger said.

"They should get the information faster," One of them said.

"I've decided that we should pick three leaders to go and apprehend him," Tiger said.

"Isn't that an overkill??" Mia asked.

"No, there must not be a mistake or we will be doomed I agree," One of the leaders said.

"Well whatever I will go, my ability is useful," Mia said.

"I will also go," Tiger said. The other leaders looked at themselves confused.

"I will also go," A man said. It was Jackson Wolfeking, the leader of the Lycan family. A family that changes into a higher form of wolf called lycan. The lycan don't walk on all four, they walk like humans and they are more powerful than werewolves. The man has long black hair falling to his back and he looked wild.

"Decided then," Tiger said.

Three days later

"Mark" Elizabeth called out when she entered the house but she did not hear any sound, it was already evening. Her heartbeat turned faster. They've been living in a village that is far from the city, no one comes here except the resident of the village and the residents were friendly toward them.

"Williams where are you?" she called out. She left the house and went to the backyard, there was a waterfall there, and she saw him standing and looking at the waterfall. He was lost in his thought. She heaved a sigh of relief because for a minute she thought he had left her. She walked towards him and stood beside him

"What are you thinking about?" She asked him.

"Are you happy here?" He asked as he looked at her.

"I'm happy anywhere with you" She answered while resting her body on him. He looked at her with gentleness.

"I love you," He said while caressing her hair.

"I love you too" She answered but he suddenly felt her heartbeat quicken.

"No" She shouted and he was pushed into the water before he could comprehend anything. The next thing he heard was a series of gunshots. He turned around in time to see someone appear in front of her. It was Martins. A blue fire burned out from his body and the bullets were burned into nothing while an avatar of fire appeared behind him. Aerith staggered back as she held her stomach. Mark jumped out of the water and grabbed her.

"No," He said with a trembling voice as he shook his head. Elizabeth touched his face,

"No matter what you become, always remember that I will be looking at you and I will love you, don't become evil because you have experienced the pain of being done evil," She said.

"Don't talk again, try to preserve yourself for treatment" He said while placing his shaking hand on the wound to compress it.

"You can't die," He said trying while trying to comfort himself.

"I love you, don't forget what I tell you, I know you will become a great person," She said with her breath slipping away with each word and her body turning colder.

"No don't go, I will never go astray" He pleaded anxiously as he felt her breath getting slower.

"Never regretted loving you," She said as she finally closed her eyes and died.

"No," he said saw her close her eyes.

"Nooooooooooo" he shouted as he shook her body. Tears covered his face. He broke into tears.

Meanwhile, Martin stamped his feet on the ground and blue fire spread out, it engulfed the special- forces that shot the gun. He was in his office but he already had installed a monitoring device where they are so he was able to know when the special forces entered the town and he sped here but he was a little bit late.

"Come out," He said. Two men and a woman came out from the shadow.

"Who are you?" Tiger asked.

"Leave right now or stay here forever," Mia said while the normal fire radiated from her.

"How dare you flaunt that stupid fire before me," He said as he hurled a fireball at Mia. Before Tiger and Jackson could react, the fireball appeared in front of Mia and expanded while it engulfed her. She used her fire to protect herself but the blue fire was consuming her fire.

"Pa" her bangles broke and the fire around her turned red. It was able to fight back the blue fire and they entered into stalemate. Tiger and Jackson were surprised because even they, fear Mia's fire because it is a very extreme fire that could burn through anything but it could not burn through the mysterious blue fire.

"Are you a Firefox?" Tiger asked. Two people appeared beside Martin they were Charlotte and Amelia.

"Since you already know then leave here now," Martins told them.

"No, we have to take him with us," Tiger said.

"Then die," Martin said and he arrived in front of Tiger. They both threw a punch and Martin took five steps back while Tiger was thrown back. "Bang" He crashed into the wall.

"How is this possible" he exclaimed surprised.

"Arrgh" Jackson who had already transformed into a lycan rushed towards martins but was rammed into by Amelia, he took two steps back while Amelia glided back.

Tiger transformed while a claw came out from his hand and his face turned more sunken and his eyes shone with red light.

"Die," He said, and "Whoosh" with extreme speed, he rushed towards Martin. The latter also ran towards him and they rammed into each other. This time Martin was thrown back while Tiger stood still. Martin was held back by Amelia. They assembled into their various groups again.

"You can't win against us so retreat," Tiger said.

"Who said so," Martin said. He looked at Amelia and Charlotte and they nodded their head. They moved back and their fires receded into their body.

"I'm enough for you," He said as nine tails made from fire projected out from his back and his eyeball turned into a fireball. The blue fire started to wriggle like they have life and the fire became more intense.

"Die" Jackson rushed towards him and threw a punch, Martin raised his palm and the blue fire spread out to form a solid shield.

"Bang" Jackson's fist struck the shield and the shield disintegrated into the fire. It latched onto Jackson's hand and soon spread around his body. He shouted in agony as he retreated to look for a way to put out the fire.

"You will end up in the worst state than that if you don't retreat," He said. Tiger looked at Johnson whose body was already burned, the fire already stopped.

"Retreat" He gritted his teeth and said as he looked at Mark who was still holding Elizabeth's body while crying. The three retreated out of sight.
