Awakening of a warrior
"Don't even think of moving a muscle , you already have knowledge of the danger we are in so it's best that you don't make any mistakes at this time."
The coyote muttered, placing himself at my back.
"Doesn't seem like a fair fight to me , three against two" .
Said the coyote as he watched Sara waiting for her father's orders to execute them obediently .
"But if it seems to you to break into my property in a stealthy way , I want you to confess what you came here for , if it has nothing to do with your mother what do you want from me ?"
Araticus asked menacingly , while the twins were eager to attack us .
"I will not reveal my true intentions here , I prefer to wait and confirm my suspicions . I just hope your army of neophytes has nothing to do with the recent murders on the nearby roads ."
"i Impressive , again risking your life for that string of human sinners !, when will you understand that the only supreme species are us purebloods , and that we deserve to take whatever we feel like "
Said proudly Araticus , while Sara was pinning me with a deep look .
"Taking human lives for your delight and pleasure is also a condemnation of our race , you can't dismantle a civilization just because you prefer it that way ."
The coyote's words , had no adverse effect on Araticus's intentions to continue with his plans against humans , let alone there was no indication that we would come out of this confrontation unscathed .
"I want you to prove what you are made of and I want your disciple to learn a little practice with my daughter".
Araticus made a sign to Sara and she fixed her red eyes on me , and suddenly I began to feel a strong pain that paralyzed me and threw me to the ground .
"It's exciting , to see the fear in your eyes . Recognizing that we are not what you expected us to be, you will regret turning your back on me."
I murmur to my ears Araticús , while the pain consumed me little by little without being able to defend myself .
The coyote jumped on top of Sara to prevent her from hurting me, but Emes counter attacked to protect her while Araticús enjoyed the spectacle of seeing me writhing from the pain that Sara exerted on me just by looking at me.
From the hands of Emes began to sprout a large amount of black mist that spread in the direction of the coyote covering his ears , eyes and mouth .
" Kneel before me and remember that you can't against the Pocaterra family ."
Sara muttered and I fell to the ground , paralyzed screaming in pain as I felt my body burn in burning flames .
As I looked at the whole picture of defeat around us , I thought I would die in pain at the foot of that tree , and probably the coyote would also agonize beside me .
"i What's that !"
Emes shouted in the midst of the torture he was exerting on the coyote . In the midst of the excruciating pain I was suffering , I turned to see a dazzling beam of light that blinded me and I could not see its source .
At that precise moment of distraction , Sara averted her eyes from me , and the control I exercised over my body was released , at that instant I stuck my fangs into Emes neck , and he lost for a few minutes the control of the shadows emanating from his body and torturing the coyote .
"Don't pretend you'll come out of this confrontation alive, I'm going to rip both of your heads off and then hang them on the highest stake so that all the creatures of the forest will see the consequences of messing with our family."
Said Araticus lunging at me to defend his son .
"You won't get away with this!"
Shouted the coyote , pouncing on Sara and taking control of her with agility .
Araticus managed to throw me against the tree with a lunge , Emes was recovering from his wounds and looking for a way to destabilize my senses . While I was trying to stand up quickly, I crossed my hands and a transparent wave came out that prevented Emes from hurting me.
Everyone was shocked watching as I repelled Emes attacks , without difficulty .
"The warrior in you has come out , now use your gift to get them out of this mess ."
Coyote said to me , holding Sara's head tightly with her eyes closed .
"Not so fast , you won't think that because you are immune to Emes you will have the victory , I can still kill you if I want to and get you to be my slave" .
Araticus commented , while trying to repel the shield he had formed around me to not be attacked .
Emes used his skills to torture the coyote and get him to free Sara from his claws, and he did it successfully for a few minutes but I focused all my mind on the protection I wanted to give to the coyote and the wave of the shield that surrounded me became more powerful, I managed to completely cover the coyote to prevent any attack.
"I think for this time we have won , don't you dear prince ?"
Said with a wry smile the coyote , while the protective shield emanated an energy so powerful that made it impenetrable .
Araticus and the twins looked at us in an irate manner , without trying to form a new attack against us , apparently in this raund we had won .
"i They may have won the battle but never the war , this millennial truce pact ends today . You better start training your best men because I will not rest until I extinguish the human race completely and you with it !"
Araticus shouted full of anger , as he looked at the fact that we had both departed from the mountain quickly wrapped in the protective shield .
We returned to the coyote's hut after fighting that battle for our lives , and discovering that perhaps I had had the awakening of my gifts today .
"I am a man of few words , but I must thank you boy , you showed great courage today against those bloodsuckers" .
"Are you admitting that I saved your skin ?"
I mockingly asked the coyote upon hearing his words of thanks , as we entered the cabin .
"You'll make me regret thanking you."
He commented in a serious manner as he leaned back on the couch and drank a glass of venison wine .
At that moment the coyote's espaliers entered with relevant information about the girl's corpse lying in the morgue .
"They don't have to mention any words I already know everything " .
Said the coyote ,without letting the spalderos say a single word , because they already knew what they had heard by reading his thoughts .
They both poured themselves a couple of drinks of animal blood and sat down next to the coyote on the couch .
"Since you know everything we have heard in the morgue what is the plan to follow ."
Asked one of the espaliers earnestly .
"I am sure that the death of this girl and the other homicides have a single commander Araticús Pocaterra . Against that hierarchical fortress we can not face alone , and if we let it continue to wreak havoc in just under a year they will take over this territory and empty it of all humans in the area ."
"Wait a minute , all the humans in the area , does that mean that among those humans would be my parents ?"
My surprise was evident to hear all the terrible things that could happen if we did not destroy the Poacaterra family .
"You understand well , the Pocaterra have thousands of thirsty neophytes waiting for a simple drop of human blood to then devour everything within their reach" ."
Affirmed the coyote , with a serious look in his deep eyes .
"But we won today right , we gave them what they deserved ".
I commented like a beginner excited to have had his first achievement , the coyote's backers laughed out loud .
"Do you think that because you managed to escape Araticus' fangs once you are invincible?"
Asked sarcastically one of the espalderos , named Damon . Who seemed to have enough experience to mock my premature feat .
"Enough guys , do not ruin the rookie's day , he has worked hard tonight , and I think it is best that he goes home to his parents to live a while as a human ."
Suggested the coyote in a calm manner .
"I don't want to go back to my parents , I want to stay here and plan what will be the next step to fight "
I said hastily as if I had a whole successful plan in hand .
"I said no " I spit the coyote irritated .
"It's all for tonight , until a couple of days ago you were a tourist who came to visit his parents from California , I do not want to raise more suspicions around us . If the humans come to discover that we are hidden here , they will blame us for the murders and that would not be at all favorable to our plans . So I order you to return home with your parents and tomorrow I will tell you everything , besides I need time to schedule your first hunting trip ."
The coyote's commanding voice was irrevocable and in part he was quite right , raising suspicions was not a good idea .
I nodded my head and decided to return to my parents' cabin , after today's long day they would surely be wondering where I was . My mother would die of fright if she knew that I had met my uncle and that he was a great man , not as much as she supposed .
I flew swiftly through the treetops of the forest , and it took me only a couple of hours to get home to my parents .
"Wow it's about time you got home , I find it very inconsiderate of you to get lost all day in the forest without even letting us know , your mother has her heart in a string ."
My father commented ironically, as he watched me enter the cabin door.
" i Father , don't exaggerate I told you I would go out and explore , I'm already a man I can defend myself !"
