I'm on my way!

-Eve POV-

“MOM! I can’t do this, I’m going crazy. I need Adam, I need my mate..” I whisper the last sentence. It’s true: I AM feeling like I’m going nuts. I really want Adam here, I need his scent, his touch and his face. I just want to feel him, to touch him.

Eve’s going to sit down in the corner of the little kitchen. She and Bonnie are hiding in one of the village-houses. The village is more south-located than the packhouse, and that makes it more safe.

“Why am I hiding here? The people need me, they need us!” I yell. “Mom, we are the Chosen Ones! This war is all about us, why can’t I join the fight?”

Bonnie sighs. “Sweetheart, my daughter, they’re not fighting. Not yet. We don’t know why, but they’re only surrounding us at this point. Avery wants us to hide and act in silence. We can’t disturb anyone, we need to win time until Adam is back. We need to know if the Black’s will help us.”

I know she’s right, I hate it when she’s right. In an attempt to surrender, I hold my arms in the air. “Alright, alright. I’ll wait here, just like Luna Avery says. Fine.”

That’s why we sit here, in this house. Hiding. Waiting. 10 Minutes have passed by. 10 become 20, and 20 become 30. I watch my clock: it’s now almost 9 p.m. It’s raining outside, no, it’s pouring! I’ve trouble looking at the treeline in front of this house. I frown my forehead, this is not good. We, werewolves, don’t like the pouring rain. It makes it more difficult to use our senses. Luckily humans hate it more then we do, but still…

The silence is suddenly interrupted by a big yell. I need to cover my ears, it’s so loud! I can tell mom has the same problem. I crawl towards her and hold her tightly.

*Are you OK, mom?* I mindlink her.

She nods, thank Goddess.

*Mom, do you know what this is?* I ask her, completely confused. Why is this yell continuing? Who does this? It’s not human.

She answers: *It’s a vampire-Queen! They’re the only creatures who can yell like this, without having a break! They’re dead already, they don’t need air.*

I’m shocked. Damn, I've wondered who we need to fight - but vampires didn’t cross my mind! I need to look. With my hands still covering my ears, I stand up to look outside. And there he is: Ted.

Oh no! No, no, no! Not him, not Ted. I crawl back to mom and grab her arm to hide behind the kitchen unit. My heart rate goes up and I’m afraid. And then, the moment my mom wants to open her mouth to ask me ‘why’, the scream stops. I feel tears starting to form into my eyes and I put my index finger against my lips. Then I form the word with my mouth: Ted.

I can see she understands me and she seems as shocked as I am. This all happened in only 1 minute or so, but I can feel the aura of different warriors coming our way. The two warriors who are sent with us are now in the kitchen as well. I hardly heard them coming, which is a good sign. They know it’s important to stay silent now.

Mom starts to mindlink me again: *Sweetheart, get ready. The game has begun!*

*I nod. I know mom, but I’m afraid! He’s coming for me, I know for sure!*

*Darling, trust yourself and trust your pack. We’re here for you!*

*I know mom. But you said it’s the Vampire-Queen, right? Well, I guess they have a King at the moment. Ted was screaming mom, it was Ted!*

*If that’s the truth, then he’s not alone. That scream? That’s a warcry. He’s summoning his minions, his vampire-slaves.*

She closes her eyes and I can see she’s using her powers. She looks back at me and says: *There are hundreds of them! I see the blood red colors coming our way.*

Oh Moon Goddess, hear me out: save us!

---

I’ve heard the scream and I know it’s starting. I’ve sent warriors South, in the direction the scream was coming from. I feel a bit worried, I know Bonnie and Eve are there too. But I can’t think about that now, they’re safe.

*Luna! It’s happening! The humans are coming our way, what should we do?*

I hear the voice of our main warrior: Levi. He’s waiting north, and now he says they’re starting to move as well. It seems like the war cry was a sign or something.

*Levi - stay on guard. Don’t let them pass - but be careful. You know how strong they are!*

At this point I hear another voice, crystal clear, and I smile. There’s only one voice this clear and pure: Eve.

*Luna! The warriors of the south are coming too! They’ve mindlinked me, they’re saying that they’re fighting vampires who are on their way to us…*

I sigh with relief, thank Goddess. The south is here, now we are getting close with numbers. But I really need the strong warrior’s of the Black’s. The overpowered humans are not going to be fought with ease.

I can feel her distress, I can feel her fear. I’m running faster, my lungs are burning. I look over my shoulder to see if they’re still following me. Mom was right, these are amazing wolves. They’re not only fast, but I can see at their build that they’re trained as well. We need those.

I let out an enormous howl and I can feel how my aura is getting stronger, bigger. It gives me the strength to run faster. My howl is followed by dozens of others. Internally, I smile: Eve - hold on! I’m on my way!
