Chapter 81:

Pythia POV:

I woke up startled, the dream I had was intense and crazy rolled into a big anxiety ball. I put my hand over my chest and tried to calm my breathing and my racing heart. The bedroom door slammed open to an edgy Tye. "Are you okay?" Tye asked, rushing over. "I think so, I just had the craziest dream of all. What time is it?" I asked, noticing the sun was up. "It's a little passed eight, what was your dream about?" Tye asked. A little past eight? So I haven't really been sleeping all that long. "It was kind of scattered honestly, it was like I was in another world similar to Atheas like what Alley described except that it was dark and cold, I could smell wolves and goddesses. They smelled so horrible. I could feel them staring but when I looked at my own reflection I wasn't me." I replied. "What do you mean you weren't you?" Tye asked. "I was really white and my nails were black and I was in a black sheer dress with no shoes. Jet black hair with ice blue eyes, I don't know who she is but she seemed familiar somehow you know? Anyways she or I was trying to tame those beasts but it didn't work and they attacked and then I woke up." I replied. 

I remembered every details of what she looked like, I wish I could have seen whatever she was trying to control. Going off the growls they were monstrous and big. "Maybe it was just a crazy dream." Tye whispered pulling me in a hug. "I would like to think that but something deep down tells me something is really wrong." I replied. "Well we can try to figure out who the woman is after we do everything today. If you feel something is wrong then something is wrong but we have to save the others first." Tye said. "Yes, yes you are right we need to get this going so they can heal properly." I replied standing up. "Go and shower, Beth is making breakfast and I have to get the others up. Apollo is down stairs playing." Tye said kissing the top of my head. I nodded my head and walked towards the shower just as he walked out of the door. When I got to the restroom I quickly turned on the hot water and looked at my reflection.  

I looked a little closer to see my piercing green eyes, fair skin and black hair. Nails were definitely not painted. Who was the woman? What was she trying to control? Why was it so cold there? I have so many questions but they will have to wait until later today. I stepped in the shower and let the hot water heat my skin up, I tried my best not to think about that dream but I knew it wasn't just a dream. I quickly washed my hair and body and stepped out. I decided to wear spandex shorts and a tank top, I braided my hair back to keep it from getting in my face, I put on my shoes and ran down stairs. The smell of pancakes and bacon hit my nose and my stomach started to growl, I walked over and scooped a giggling Apollo off the floor "Mama!" Apollo giggled out reaching for my hair. "Good morning my little wolf." I said, smiling down at him. Apollo blew drool bubbles and giggled at me before his eyes found his toys on his high chair. "Good morning sister." Jasper said before walking over to Beth. "Food smells good." Jenson added. I wonder if those two would ever talk normally, but even if they ever do I think that would be too weird.

"There is our little wolf." Tye said tickling Apollo. "Dada!" Apollo giggled. "He is the cutest kid I've ever seen." Lee said sitting down, "His eyes are incredibly unique." Ryan said. "Yes, they are. He is the future king and alpha. It suits him well." I replied with a smile. "Does he have any gifts?" Jax asked. "He does, he has the spirit element. We learned about that when Pythia was pregnant with him. If at any point he senses someone's change in mood he uses it." Tye replied. "That is incredible. I've never heard of someone so young being gifted." Lee said. Beth and Jasper started setting the food down around the table and while we all ate and made small talk my mind drifted back to my dream. Something started to feel really wrong and as much as I tried to keep it down I didn't know how much longer I could. Warmth started to spread towards me and I looked over to see Apollo staring at me with a smile. His eyes had brightened, I ran my finger across his soft face and smiled. This child along with his cousins will do many great things. 

As we finished eating I felt a bit better. "Now let's go and save the others." I said standing up. "I will stay here with Apollo." Beth said. "Thank you, if you would like to go over to Alleys house where the others will be, you may. I will leave it up to you." I replied with a smile. "Temis! Temis!" Apollo giggled. "Him and Artemis have been getting really close." Tye said laughing. "Yes, much like me and Ambrosia." I replied. "Alright I will take him to see Artemis then." Beth giggled as she stood up. I bent down and kissed his little head. "Now you be good for auntie Beth okay? Mommy and daddy will be home later." I said. "And be nice to Artemis. Play nice with the others." Tye said, looking down at him with a smile. Beth came back with a bag and scooped up Apollo, together we walked out of the house, everyone was running around setting up barriers and medical kits for what was about to happen.

I was so grateful the other packs sent extra nurses and doctors to help us, "Pythia! When do you want us to bring them all out?" Lillith asked running up to us. "Has there been any issues? Are they even awake?" I asked. "No issues, yes they are awake. They are like empty shells honestly." Lillith replied. "Have them brought out in ten minutes. I want extra clothes and blankets brought out too just in case. I want the rooms cleaned well so they can rest easily. New bathroom stuff, all of it." I said. She nodded her head before disappearing. The pressure to do this amount of people at once was starting to weigh on my shoulders but I couldn't allow that to continue. "We will be at the house." Beth called as she started to get farther away. I waved at her and walked over to the large area. "What all needs to be done?" I asked. "Actually we have everything ready to go, they will be coming out roped together like we all were last night. We need to pour this holy water on their heads kind of like a baptism and then we can all start." Stony replied. 

I looked around to see everyone started gathering around, "Alright are we ready?" Alley asked. Just as the words left her mouth Lillith and the others showed up with the other, just as Stony said they were held together with a rope around their wastes. "Now how this is going to work is all of you will need to grab hands, Pythia, Lillith and Stony will grace them with holy water and when they come back to our circle all I need you all to do is think good thoughts of purifying their souls, washing the spell that was placed away. Rose and I are the only ones here who can access spirit. So let's get started." Alley said clearly. We all got into a formation to where we had them completely surrounded, I grabbed a container and walked towards the ones that were close to me. I put some water on my fingers and graced their foreheads. We worked quickly because they started moving away from us. We figured that would happen since it is purified holy water and what is wrapped around their souls is pure evil. 

When we were finished we ran back over to Alley and I quickly grabbed her hand and Lilliths hand. I closed my eyes and let the warmth take over me, I could see a bright light and as bad as I wanted to look I knew better from when we were in the cells. I started hearing grunts before screams filled my ears. I felt Alley tighten her hand around mine and as painful as it was I endured it. There was no time to say something. I could start to see their souls separate from them but what followed nearly horrified me. Darkness was engulfing them but when the light touched it, it burned it, with each touch the screams got louder. It was like watching a clash between light and dark, good and bad. The darkness started to fight back and it seemed endless until the light started to form into a very familiar looking wolf, actually two wolves. Rose and Ember, my breath caught in my throat watching the two of them combine to make one massive ass wolf just as the darkness turned into a wolf all its own. 

Part of me was scared as I looked on to the massive wolves fighting it out, who knew that this was what was going to happen. The ground under us shook hard with each blow one delivered to the other, my hands tightened around the others and I found myself and others cheering on Rose and Ember which seemed to have made them stronger. They let out the fiercest growl I had ever heard before they jumped on to the wolf carrying the darkness, they shredded every single piece of it little by little until it was finally gone. Both wolves separated and looked at each other before they turned and focused on my witches that were now laying on the ground. One by one they licked the top of their heads before they both disappeared. When I opened my eyes I looked around to see everyone energized and excited. I looked over at Alley who had a big smile on her face, "That was very unexpected and not what happened last time." Alley said. "What the hell was that?" I asked. "I guess Ember needed a little extra help this time, last time it was just her wolf." Lillith said. 

"That was the craziest thing I have ever seen in my life." I stated. "Let's get them moved inside, I want a witch in the room with them and a wolf guarding the doors just like last time!" I yelled out, everyone started moving quickly, I looked to Alley and she was staring at me intently. "Something is wrong." Alley said. "I need to talk to you about something, well a dream actually that I had." I replied. She nodded her head and pulled me to the side. "What's happened?" Alley asked. I quickly told her about my dream and how I have felt uneasy about it and while she listened closely I could tell something was seriously wrong. "You don't know who the woman was?" Alley asked. "Not a single clue but I felt it Alley something is wrong." I replied. "Okay, Let's think about this for a second, did you get a good look at whatever attacked her?" Alley asked. "No, but it was big and scary as hell. I could feel her emotions, she was shocked, scared and felt like she lost control. Is there another place like Atheas?" I asked. 

Alley scrunched her face together before something clicked in her head. "Actually there is but we don't know anything about it honestly. I will have to summon Athea herself." Alley replied. "No need to summon me, my great white witch, I am here and I need your help. Please gather the ones you trust the most including Danny and Ember and come with me." Athea said, gaining our attention. I turned to look at her and gasped at what I had seen, her pearl white dress was stained in blood, her hair was everywhere and it looked as if she had been crying. Before I knew what was happening all the alphas, my brothers, Danny and Ember were next to us. Seconds later we were transported to a place I had never seen before but my oh my was it beautiful and chaotic at the same time.
