124 FCUK YOU!
A little girl was running toward her mother while holding a big fat yellow cat in her small arms. “Mommy! Look!” She raised the cat, but it struggled to be free from her. “Yellow cat!” she said happily, showing it to her mother like a trophy.
“Put it down River, we will leave now,” Lise said to her daughter, as she took the cat from her hands and grabbed her wrist.
“We will leave again?” she protested, pouting her lips. Her short curly, brown hair fluttered in the wind, as her mother dragged her away to their car. They were ready to go now.
She was only an eight years old little girl, but she had traveled a lot for as long as she could remember and not only that, no matter how much she complained about it and asked why they constantly moved from one city to another, her mother wouldn’t tell her.
River may be only an eight years old little girl, but she was smarter and more sensible than any other child around her age and as she grew up, she showed her ability to manipulate fire...
It was Gael’s gift... or curse... Lise didn’t want to think about it at all.
The world had completely changed tremendously since eight years ago, now the war between the humans and the supernatural creatures was something that was glaring right before your eyes.
The deaths on both sides could be seen in the news every hour and now, there was even curfew for people to not go out of their houses once the clock hit eight, as there would be patrol every half an hour in every area to see if there were non-human beings roaming aimlessly on the streets.
The shifters and the witches were extremely hard to get, since they blended with the people very well, but the vampires were easier, since they wouldn’t be able to handle their thirst over blood.
.....
Therefore, every now and then, those patrolling cars along with the members of The Hound would find a few vampires during nightfall.
Not only curfew, if people heard the blaring sound of a horn ringing, you must leave as fast as you could, stay away from this area, because it meant there was going to be a battle between the members of the Hound and the supernatural creatures soon, as the non human beings would attack them randomly, especially the vampires and the shifters.
This horrendous situation had been happening for five years now and every time, it only got worse...
Lise was scared for River’s safety. She was eight years old now and should be tested next week, to prove whether she was human or non human.
The test was a must and every single soul needed to get proof that they were indeed human. This was insane, but they live in a world like that now...
“Where are we going mama?” River put on her seatbelt and from inside the house that they occupied for only a week an old lady came out, dragging a suitcase before giving it to her mother.
“I don’t know sweetheart, but I think we need to find another park, you don’t like the park around this area, right?” Lise told her little angel, when she entered the car while Anne sat on the backseat. “We will go on another adventure, baby.”
“But, I just made a friend,” River spoke sullenly, she stared into the distance, as if she could see her friend running toward her on the street.
“I am sorry, River, but we need to go,” Lise said apologetically. She hated it when she had to turn her down. She was such a lovely child, but her friend saw her when she summoned fire from her fingertips and that was enough reason to move far away as soon as possible.
“Is it because I show Maia my little secret?” River raised her head, staring at her mother, waiting for her answer.
Lise and River had an agreement that they would call this power of hers as their little secret and only Anne knew about it, no one else, especially those people with dark green uniforms, who were the members of The Hound.
“We need to go now,” Anne reminded Lise and saved her from answering that question, because it would make her daughter feel guilty for what she had done.
She was clueless about her anomalies from the other children, as she was excited to make friends and impress them with her ability.
“Grandma, I want to sleep,” River said after thirty minutes into driving. She looked at Anne in the backseat and unbuckled her seatbelt to move back.
“Be careful, honey,” Lise warned her when she moved to the back.
Eight years had passed and Lise had been on the run, since she got an early test about River’s status as a non- human being when she was two years old.
And about how she could get away with that, it was cruel, as she had to swap the result with another baby’s and let the other people’s child be taken away.
Lise felt guilty because of it.
“Is she sleeping?” Lise asked Anne after an hour of driving, as she looked at her daughter, clinging like a koala in Anne’s embrace.
“Yes, just now,” she replied. “Where are we going now?”
“Fokosa city,” Lise replied after she thought about it.
====================
“Again!” Emmet’s voice rang through the field, as he ordered a girl in white hair to stand up and start to fight again.
The girl in white hair glared at him, her hazel eyes ablaze with anger, as she gritted her teeth, fighting the urge to shift into her beast form and tear this man apart.
“What?!” Emmet snapped at her because he didn’t like the way she stared at him. “Fight him or the Alpha will make things harder for you!”
“F*ck you.” Her eyes were fixed on him when she attacked him instead.
