Enigma

Chapter 53- Amara

“We will wait for them to attack as we don’t exactly know when they will make a move and neither do

we know where they are.” I said as we sat in the front yard. “With the non-fighting party safely sent to

Scotland, we don’t have to worry much about the safety of our people. I just hope everything goes fine.”

“We are going to be alright Amy. There is nothing more we can do to prepare ourselves. The only thing

we can do now is wait for them to attack and defend ourselves by killing them all.” Leo said.

It has been two days since the kids and the mates of the pack members have been sent to the safe

house. Well not to Scotland but the original safe house. That Soran will be in for a surprise when he

does attack us. We are ready as we will ever be. He wants war then we will give him war and whoop

his and his spawn’s ass.

“Let’s eat dinner and get to bed. I don’t think they will attack today.” Carter said yawning.

The spirit wolves have been keeping watch in the woods but there was no sign of them so far. They

have even stopped lurking around the house at night these past days. It feels way too calm though.

Why would they disappear suddenly after trying to kill our members and giving warnings? They sure

are taking their time to attack. We have been waiting for them to attack but so far there is no sign of

them.

We made our way inside and took our places on the table after setting the food that we had already

prepared before. I could see the sun sinking from the window. Cassidy came out of her room looking all

happy. She had finished forging the sword yesterday. She still hadn’t told me how to work it properly to

kill Soran.

“I need to talk with you about the sword after dinner.” Cassidy said to me.

Did she read my mind again?

“Yes I did.” She replied.

I glared at her playfully and focused on stuffing the delicious food in my mouth.

After dinner, I followed Cassidy to her room where she explained to me everything about it and how to All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

use it but I have only one shot at it. The sword will disintegrate after one use so I don’t even have a

way to practice. I am also quite scared about it. What if I couldn’t do it? What if I failed to kill Soran?

Everything will be in vain.

No. You have to do your best Amara. You can do this.

“You alright love?” Steven asked as I entered our room.

“Just worried. What if we failed? What if I failed?”

“We can’t possibly know that now. The only thing we can do, is do our best.” He said pulling me to bed.

“Rest up for now. Don’t think about it too much.”

I hummed and snuggled into him but the sleep just wouldn’t come. My body felt restless. I don’t know

why but all my senses were in high alert. I laid there in Steven’s arms for I don’t know how long but the

sky outside had turned ink black. There wasn’t any light outside. It is new moon after all.

I was jolted up by some noise outside the house. It felt like people were talking in whisper. I got up and

peeked outside the window from the side so that I would be hidden from the outside view. That’s when I

saw it.

Red eyes. Hundreds of them in the tree line and they were getting closer to the house. I quickly woke

Steven up and told him what I saw. We dashed out of our room and started waking everyone up. I

relayed the message to the spirit wolves through mind link as we gathered in the living room.

“They are everywhere.” Zeno said as he came running from the kitchen. “I checked. They are coming

from all sides. We are surrounded.”

“We had discussed this already. We will go by it. We will split in two groups first then take our positions.

Half of us will go through back door. Half groups through the front.” I said in a whisper. “The spirit

wolves will attack from outside. I have already relayed the message to them.”

Leo, Steven, Stanley, Mathew, Alex, Archer, Fabian, Hudson and I made our way to the front door as

the others went to the back door. A bottle of kerosene, lit with fire came soaring at us as we opened the

door but it bounced back at them, exploding on the demon that threw it.

Cassidy and Greyson had done a great job with the spells.

Soon we realized that they had thrown multiple of those kerosene bottles at the house as the house

was surrounded by burning demons. They had tried to burn the house down with us in it. Well the same

trick won’t work all the time, will it? We filed out of the house but stopped inside the shield. It was one

and a half foot away from the house wall. We spread out in a straight line so we were all protected.

We watched the gloating faces of demons peering at us as we looked at them with fear. They were too

many. Everywhere I looked there were red eyes staring back our way.

“Inoltare.” A cold voice rang from the darkness of the trees but it was impossible to locate where the

voice came from. (Forward)

It was ringing all around us. The demons jumped out of the trees once they heard the command. They

were soaring out of the woods one after another. It felt like they were never ending. We didn’t move

from our position and let them advance.

They were only five feet away from us when it happened. They all froze in their place. We shifted at

once and marched in. My only goal was to find Soran and kill as many as I can on the way. I heard the

panic filled voices of the demons as I tore my way into the woods. They were being hunted from both

ends.

I kept killing them as I looked around for the sign of the damned demon lord but he was nowhere to be

found. So I started killing the demons in the woods more. They were too many and they just kept

coming.

I don’t know how long I was killing them. It felt like it had been hours. The land around me was filled

with their ashes. But their number had decreased or maybe I had come too deep. I stopped to take a

breather.

I plopped down and shifted into my human form. The woods looked too dark with no moon to give light.

Where is everyone? I should get back to the house to check up on everyone.

I got up and shifted back into my wolf skin. I started running in my house’s general direction when I

heard voices again. I halted my steps and stood as steady as I could. They weren’t talking in English. I

think I found him.
