I blew out as my father and rubbed my back. Once the members were situated Theo tilts his head and waited. Father gently Pushed me forward and I shyly walk up to a witch who sat formally next to the stand. I offer her my hand and she took it, carving something down.
I grit my teeth but said what I needed. “I swear upon Luna herself and the council above to say the truth and nothing but the truth..” the witch waved her hand over mine and I flinch and jerk my hand slightly at the awful sting. She had blinded me to her for the time being. A small spell in order for her to connect to my emotions and thoughts.
This is how she can tell if I’m lying to the members. I walk back to my spot and she does the same to the others. Once that finished my team pleaded my case.
I run my hands up and down my legs while taking a step forward. “You're honor.” I press my hand to my chest and kneel on one knee and bow my head. First. Respect.
I than lift my head and look all of them in the eye. “I am here to plead my case about my position of beta. I understand my actions were harsh and shouldn’t have happened. But please understand i was just defending my sister..”
“You attacked a human boy..” my eyes flicked over to a fairy. “Yes I did..”
“Do you have a good reason for it? Other than defense?” I look at the werewolf. He looked young, almost twenty. But I knew he was in his late 50’s.
“This human boy has done nothing but harass me and my sister since the time we came. He has attempted to assault her on multiple accounts, verbally abused both me and my sister as well as physically.
I had restrained myself multiple times, only going as far as a shove. But this time it was different..” I say. “How so?” I look at a mermaid.
“He’d gone too far. The day itself was a bad day, but during PE he had started to shove me around, and tried to touch my sister. I, again tried to control My anger - with the help of my sister but I lost it when he threatened to do something unspeakable to her. He has said eBay I couldn’t protect her if he were to..” I made a gesture with my hand. “To..?” Another member said. I say nothing. “So you don’t know what he would’ve said after that..”
“N-no..but I’m sure I knew what he was implying..” I nod. They all tilt their head. They than wave me off.
They than call up a memory wiper. He stepped forward and raised his hand and waved. I flinch and blink when I felt a bit dizzy but I held my ground as the memory of the moment began to be shown. I look away, slightly discouraged and embarrassed. I knew I could’ve reacted better..I knew I should’ve held it in.
I could’ve killed him..no..I would’ve if Enya wasn’t there. I watch as the council members whisper amongst themselves. All of them tried to spark a conversation or a reply from Theo but his eyes were glued onto me. I clench my jaw and hold his gaze. His brow raised and a small smile began to spread on his lips.
“Interesting..” was all he thought. Once the memory was finished, the memory wiper stepped away and sat down next to the witch. I keep theo’s gaze when the council members began to continue on the trial.

I didn’t really need to speak anymore. My defense team was for that. I kept his gaze for what seemed like eternity. Theo leaned forward slowly and his smile slowly disappeared. “Look. Away..” it wasn’t a thought. It was a
warning. But I didn’t. I didn’t want to. I wanted to see how strong his gaze was. I wanted to know what made him so dangerous.
My father stepped forward and took my defense againts the council where a small bicker broke out. But even than I held his gaze. And soon enough it was just about over.
I jumped when my father grabbed my arm. “W-what?” I blink and look away, realizing people where starting to get up. He sighed, messing up his hair. “It’s break. They split off to talk amongst themselves.”
“Now wait just a moment..” Everyone stopped and looked ahead. Theo..he fixed his suit and cleared his throat. “I have a question for you..boy..” I eye him before feeling a nudge. I take a slow step forward. “This human man..would you have killed him..?”
“That is not relevant..!” My defender snapped only to have a hand raised by the werewolf member. Theo tilts his head. “Would you..? It is clear that you only stopped once your dear sister came into view, say. Where is she..?” All eyes went on me.
I lick my lips and clear my throat. “S-she’s sick..”
“Is she now..?” He gave me a once over. “Of course she was the only one on scene. The only one who we could actually trust to bring..” he nods. “Does anyone else find it odd that the only witness that could possibly end or salvage you're case is deemed..missing?” I felt my cheeks burn as others began to murmur and whisper. “Hm..? No..?” Theo shrugged. “Alright..just me I suppose..” he turned walking away before stopping again. “O-oh. Wait. One more thing..you're prone for violence..” he began. “What’s to stop him from harming any other human..? Hm?” I glanced at my father but he just looked away.
“What’s to stop him from..harming anyone else just because they looked at you're sister..” I eye Theo. He just shrugged. “Just a thought..” he strolled out. “See you all in five..” and with that, the lights came back on.
Anwyll’s POV
I stare at a picture of..well..me. It was deeply torn up and busted but my face was still visible. I looked like me..b-but I didn’t seem like me. “That can’t possibly be me..”
“Oh it is..” she handed me a notebook. I look down and shrug shyly. “What is this..?”
“You're journal..” She looked away quickly and I looked at her. Her brow twitched and she looked at me. Fear..that’s all i saw. “Take the book.”
“W-Whats happening..?”
“Take the book. Go now, Theo knows. Theo always knows..” and with that she rushed me out and close the door behind her. I turn to face her but she was gone.
I take a step back, shocked. “Quick! I heard someone..! This way!” I take another step back, looking at the book. I then turn and rush out through the same window I came in. I then place a small rock, big enough to keep it open but small enough to go undetected. I then rush off.
Theo knows..he knows what..? I stop in a tree and crotch down to think. I chew the inside of my cheek. I open the book and flip through it for answers.
I slow down at the sight of a phone number. There was no name..no hint as to who it belonged to..it was just a number.
I blow out and snap the book closed. Now what..? I throw one last look at the window before taking off. Alright..two new things.
One, that room is supposedly mine. And secondly, a memory of Enya was there. Which meant she too could’ve had a room. I head towards her house before instantly freezing. I quickly grab hold of a branch and swing myself back up before I go crashing to the ground. Wait..they're not home.
The trial..! Dammit..! I quickly look around. But I had no clue where that was..nor do I know how to get there. I mess my hair up. But I promised. I promised Enya.
I chew the inside of my lip and groan softly. So. I’m in a dilemma. What do I do? I look around silently before tucking the book into a pocket. Thankfully the book was small enough to fit.
I jump down and head into her territory. What I had planned was rash and probably a death wish.
And I promised to make sure he kept his position. Not that I had any say..I mean after all. I wasn’t even on the council board. But I could certainly try.
Especially if Theo is there. I could probably use my livelihood as leverage. Or maybe I could threaten him. Assuming he won’t just kill me. I quickly jump into a tree when two patrolmen began to March my way.
They stopped and I grit my teeth but force myself to stay as silent as possible. I could take on one. But two..? I felt my stomach grumble and I wince when an ear flicked and their heads jerked up.
Shit..when was the last time I ate.? I think and quickly snap a small stick off and chuck it as hard as I could. With a sharp bark and a snarl they dart off.
I hold my breath and sprint off. I blow out and climb higher just to be safe. I look for the trap door. I needed to call this number, I needed to see what was in this book.
And maybe it’ll help me help Marca. I scan the area before finally spotting it. I leap over and quickly fasten it open before sliding under. I wave the dust out of my face while walking to the TeePee.
I pull the book out and sit down where I flip it open. The number. I’ll need to get a phone..but for now..I flip to the next page where my name was plastered over it. It was in awful handwriting, it looked as if I had written it when I was just learning how to write.
I kept flipping until I reached words that I could read.
Anwyll: hi. It’s been a while since I last wrote here..I can’t even remember the last thing I wrote. But anyway. That’s not the point. The point is that things have been..chaotic. It’s been crazy here.
We’ve done nothing but train. Theo is killing us, and we need out. They’ve been taking Orris somewhere and when he comes back he’s not himself. Enya is being prodded and forced to her limit, they have her torturing people for countless hours and me..they have me disintegrating everything. Disintegrated and mimicking everything. Even people.
End of note.

Next page.
It’s been a few weeks since our escape. Marca got hurt and we got separated from Orris. Enya is exhausted and can’t walk. They injected her with something, and I..I haven’t had a proper meal since we had left. Not that they fed us well anyway. One can only survive off of rats for so long.
Everyday is painful. My hunger grows and grows. Enya offered to give me some blood but I’m too afraid of what I'd do once I get a taste..I’m afraid I won’t stop. But even than, I’m going to need my strength. Whatever they put in her made her just as weak. She can’t shift.
And Marca won’t wake up.
All three of us are hiding out In some abandoned cave. Those who escaped with us either got separated..or killed.
So with that being said. There’s no way we can get caught. because if we do..

Theo will kill us all.

Enya's POV
I grinned when I broke open the safe. Literally. Hopefully dad won’t notice. I rub my hands together and check the clock before digging in. There were a few files in here. At least five. I bring them all to the desk where I shine the light on them.
I let out a nervous breath. Alright..I lay them out flat. Five. Five yellow folders. There wasn’t a name on the front..but I knew they all held something big. I press my lips together and decide to just open all of them at once. I quickly look them over.
What..the..hell. I think and look around. Perfect. I grab the folders and dash to my fathers office where I quickly and carefully copy each and every item in each folder.
This wasn’t good. I rub my hands together. This wasn’t good at all..! H-how can this be..? I pick up a folder with my name on it. How..
How can we all be dead??
Marca’s POV
I pace in the lobby. Rubbing my knuckles and squeezing them as I do. Both my parents ventured off to god knows what, leaving me..the thoughts, and the judgemental eyes. “Why hello there..” I stop mid step. I slowly raise my head. “Marca..was it?”
I quickly spin around, grasping for my knife only to be welcomed with air. Theo chuckled and tsked me while slowly tilting his head. “Naughty naughty..threatening to attack a council member..” he took a step forward and I try to keep my barings by holding his gaze.
His jaw instantly snapped close and I knew I hit a nerve. “You sure are one wretched little imp aren’t you? Lower you're eyes boy..!” I don’t do as told. In fact. I just stare harder.
He hissed and reached for me. I stumbled when my father instantly appeared in front of me. “You shouldn’t do that..!” I blink and finally look away to look at my father.
His arm was tightly around me. Blocking me. I glance at Theo who’s eyes glowed a bright almost electric blue. “After all..we’re just guests..” he snapped calmly.
Theo made a soft humming sound before sighing and straightening his back. I flinch, spooked at his sudden movements. “Alright. I suppose you're right.” He glides his eyes over to me. “We’re guests..” he looked me up and down before wrinkling his nose. He turned and strolled off. “Gotta keep those pesky dogs happy..!” He hissed sarcastically before disappearing around the corner.
“You are on a very thin line Marca..! Very! Thin!” The lights began to dim and he brushed his hair back. “Get you're ass back in there. And shut. The fuck. Up. Got it? Your position is on the line..!” He shoved my shoulder and stormed in.
I clench my jaw and shake my head while looking away before catching theo’s eyes. He smirked and walked in. I slowly looked away before heading inside where I stand next to my mother.
“How are you feeling?” I glance at her. “Are you prepared for you're verdict?” She asked as I looked around the room. Not once missing the judgmental eyes. I sigh softly. “To be honest..” I begin. I honestly didn’t even want that stupid position anymore. Where was the alpha? Why wasn’t he here to fight my case or here for moral support?
And my parents? Mostly my father. They seem to care more about this stupid position than how they treat me. I sigh. I don’t want to do this..Enya was right. Why should I? I’m nothing more than a soldier to them. “I just want this crap to be over with..” I mumble watching the members walk in. I locked eyes with Theo and he narrowed his. I do the same.
Fuck. him.
