Upcoming Disaster

Taking a deep breath to calm my erratic heart, I gently knock on the door, wondering for the hundredth time if this was a good idea.

Of course it is not! But what other choice do I have? I have tried to contact Axel or meet him but he is always busy, there is always something keeping him a way, I have tried for three days with no use, which only leaves me with this one dreadful option.

“Well, well, if it isn’t “miss no one wants to see” herself!” Carmen says in an annoyed tone, I swallow the humiliation before looking her straight in the eyes with a serious expression that annoys her even more.

“Well?”

“I need to talk to you.” I keep my voice as calm as possible, she rolls her eyes at me before crossing her arms, I don’t move nor say anything until she rolls her eyes and walk inside her room, I take that as a restrained invitation.

“Speak!” she orders in a dry way, I close the door and walk towards her, Goddess, this woman is intimidating, with her tall and lean figure and traits that she took from her father, unlike Axel who looks like his mother, she is really scary, but not as scary as what I saw whn the white bitch touched me.

I still shiver whenever I remember what I saw, and the smile she gave me after it, as if she knew what is going to happen.

“I had a vision when Ciana touched me.” Carmen’s face becomes instantly angry, and in a second I find myself pressed against the wall with her fist squeezing my neck.

“If you dare say that you have seen her death and think that I’d believe you have no hand in it, then you are so fucking wrong, bitch!” I scratch her hand futilely, her eyes are turning dark and fur is sprouting out of her arm.

“No! I swear!” she doesn’t let go, and I feel like I am going to die if she presses any harder, so I blurt out what I saw.

“It is Axel’s death as well as everyone else!” she finally releases me and I fall to the ground, coughing my heart out.

Did I mention that this was a bad idea?

“What the fuck are you talking about!” she takes a few steps back, horror and disbelief evident on her face.

“I have had many visions so far, about a coming disaster, I all started with the body at the borders, I have seen human deaths, I have seen Axel chained with white chains, I have seen death and gore, a massacre, but it was all in fragments, but when she touched my shoulder, I have seen all the deaths, all the piled up bodies, including everyone on the pack, all at her feet, and there was not a single wound on her!

“She is bad news, Carmen” I say while standing up, the shocked look on her face encouraging me to say more.

“I know it in my heart, I know this witch is going to bring death upon us all, we can’t let them get married, and we have to keep her away from Axel!” I urge the she wolf with a sincere voice, hoping that she will sense the honesty in my eyes, but instead, she takes another step back, a scary expression on her face.

“So, you are saying that now that they are getting married in less than three weeks, you decided to speak about these visions of yours? And you expect me to believe you?

Goddess! How fucking evil can you be, Ora? After everything he had done for you? Why can’t you let him be happy?

You are a true abomination! You bitch!”

“What? No! You have to believe me! I swear I have seen it!” I plead with her helplessly, not knowing what else I can do, to whom else I can turn.

“You say you have seen our pack’s death at her feet, right? Well guess what! We will fucking die for her, to keep her safe! That is what you do for a pack member! Something you failed to be!”

“But…”

“Get the fuck out of here! Bitch!” and don’t you dare try anything to hurt her! Or I swear with my mother’s memory! Even death can’t save you from me!”

……

Goddess, what can I do now?

No one believes me!

I look up at the sky, the moon is slowly becoming smaller, we will have a moonless night soon, I remember my vision, it was dark, and the moon wasn’t there, unlike my vision about Axel when the moo looked bigger than ever.

Was that a sign about the moon’s gift? The mate bond?

It probably is, but how can I prove it? No one is going to believe me because I have said so!

I sigh while burying my head between my knees, I am at one of the safest parts of the forest, crouching down in front of the river, this is where me and Axel used to play when we were kids, this was our special place, where he would bring me whenever I was feeling down, and now, it is my spot to mourn my heart on my own.

Closing my eyes, I try to think of something, anything, but I am out of solutions and out of energy as well, unable to acquire the peace of mind I came here for, I get up and start walking towards my building, but as I move among the trees, a sudden movement catches my eye.

It was quick, at first I thought it was one of the wolves taking a run, but then, it didn’t look like a wolf…

No, it was in human form, and it looked familiar.

Swallowing my fears, I begin to walk faster, my heart beating erratically in my ears, something is off, I can sense it, or maybe I am a chicken, either ways, I better get out of here.

I walk fast, but the urgency in in the air forces me to run faster, just for me to notice that the distance had grown somehow.

What the fuck is going on?

I stop and look around me, at first I don’t see anything, but then I see a shadow between the bushes, I pray for it to be some asshole pulling a prank on me, but the soon the shadow emerges into the dim moon light I realize it was nothing close to a prank!

This was fucking hell! I scream before I start running, the steps of the dead girl’s loud behind me!

Fuck! I knew it! I knew that we should have burned her body! I think while screaming for help, I don’t look back but I feel that she is only an arm away from me, that she would catch me the second I slow down.

I hear voices from afar, it looks like my luck has finally kicked in and help is on it way, but before I could rejoice that fact, I feel myself being pushed before stumbling on something, something significantly large.

I look back at the girl and she is standing right above me, fresh blood still oozing from those terrifying eyes of hers, she was supposed to be in the morgue for over three months now! How come she is still bleeding?

And those eyes! As if death is staring right at me!

She looks down at the length of me, and I am compelled to follow her gaze just to find myself covered in blood.

Not my blood, but the blood of the person I have stumbled on.

Ciana!
