Children of the Starnik
Prologue
Three thousand years ago, our ancestors, the Dire Wolves, were at war with the human's ancestors, the Ditori. They battled for decades for the right as the Apex predator, the top species of the planet, neither coming to any kind of agreement of peace. But there were two who did. A single She-wolf and a single male Human came together, neither wanting the war to continue. The gods saw this and congratulated the two, seeing that two different species could come together, wanting the same thing. They wanted them to go out and fulfil their wishes of bringing the two mammals together. But to assist them, they were granted sets of abilities. The wolf, the power to heal all those caught in the conflict, and to manipulate the air around her. The human, the ability to move and control objects with his mind, along with incredible accuracy and precision. Finally, both were given the gift to communicate using mental power over a distance. The two set out to fulfil their purpose, calling themselves "The Starnik", first revealing their new found abilities to their own sides. At first they cowered away in fear of the all powerful beings, but soon came to the realization that things could change, for better or for worse.
Many years passed, neither coming to any success. More battles arose, taking many casualties and lives with them from both sides. Neither Dire wolf nor Human could see how they could live in peace and refused to listen to the Starnik. That's when they decided they'd had enough of this nonsense. The Starnik went on the run from their own species, and that day finally came when they were cornered by their kin. In their final moments, they foretold a prophecy they received by the gods of two more after them who would receive their powers and continue what they failed to do. But in order for that to happen, they needed to prove themselves by completing a ritual. The Human must willingly give his life for a wolf, and a wolf needs to witness another, willingly sacrifice itself for it. Of course neither Human nor Dire Wolf at that time would ever dare give their own life for something they hated.
They laughed in the Starnik's faces and for the first time worked together in separating the deranged abominations of Human and Wolf. They were separated, but not by force, for that night they recited an incantation derived from the gods themselves to send them to the opposite ends of the earth if the need for it ever arose. They recited it, and that's exactly what happened. The human, sent five thousand miles away across oceans and to a other world, and the wolf, to the north of America and away from her kind. For the rest of their lives they never saw or heard from the other again. They lived out their lives on their own and died of old age, only being reunited once again in the afterlife. The Humans and Wolves didn't pity them in anyway and continued to wage war on each other. Obviously the humans won, and drove the wolves back into the mountains, there they were massacred, none left alive. The Human's reigned victorious, celebrating the destruction of their enemies, and leaving a species extinct.
Three thousand years later, a simple, ordinary boy named Scott was out walking on his own, when he came across a hunter. He watched from behind a tree as he bore his gun down on his latest prey, a young she-wolf who went by the name of Sarah. She had already been fatally wounded by the hunter, and was about be given the finishing blow. Seeing this, the boy bravely threw himself before the gun, taking the bullet for his own, both human and wolf died that day.
The two met in heaven, ready to move on, but for the human, his time was not now, and not on this day. Sarah told him of the Starnik's prophecy and that his time was yet to come. She told him of her daughter, Rosie, who witnessed their murder. They had performed the Starnik's ritual. Scott gave his life in an attempt to save Sarah, and her daughter witnessed her mother's death, when she sacrificed herself to protect her. Scott was resurrected that day and ordered by his dead friend to find her daughter, and persuade her to see reason. He found her, and together uncovered the truth and that they really had been given these newfound abilities the ones before them possessed. He left his friends thinking he was dead, all to start a new life with his partner.
They lived together for two years, and in that time they learnt a great deal and met new friends and reunited with old ones. Rosie's mother was given the opportunity to become their Spirit Guide, and visited them often, helping them in their hour of need. Also her long lost father returned seeking retribution and closure, after leaving Sarah and when discovering her pregnancy with Rosie. He got what he came for and left without another word on the same day.
They met and offered shelter to a pack which they named the Valley pack, who considered them a part of their close knit family. Scott was reunited with friends from his past, and Sarah granted them both a gift. Rosie revived a new power, one allowing her to produce a powerful shockwave to howl her enemies away. Scott received the gift of Lycanthropy, to turn into a wolf when the moon was full and howl with his friend like he wished. As painful as it was, he was forced to turn on the two nights the full moon shone, but soon found out he could willingly, but with the same painful outcome.
It was soon after, Rosie's mother and their Spirit Guide came to them in dreams, warning them of some kind of danger, what of they knew not. It wasn't long after, when the Valley pack were slaughtered, all twenty five, pups and all, and the two were drugged and taken from their home of wilderness, and into the gates of hell. When their slumber ended, they discovered they had been captured by the descendants of the Ditori who fought our ancestors three thousand years ago. Rosie discovered her father was a traitor to our species, working along side the Devil in human form. He was taken from his family shortly after birth and raised to track down our kind and direct them to us for them to slaughter. He never loved her, or her mother, Sarah was just a whore in his eyes. The Ditori planned to use them to complete what they say was to happened, the mass wipe out of wolf kind!
Forcibly, and out of their control, Scott and Rosie took the lives of seven wolves, but the next day they escaped, thanks to the help of Scott's parents who had been working for them, but disagreed with their beliefs. They ran to the city, but soon became trapped. Guns surrounded them on all sides, with no way out. That fateful night they were once again forced to do something neither wanted to do. They recited the Starnik's incantation, and were transported to the opposite ends of the earth, but not before Scott vowed to find her again.
They had lost their abilities from the distance they had between them, so now they had the chance to live out normal lives. That was the idea of the incantation, to give them the life they should have had, and forget the one they had. He was taken across the seas in a ball of fire, to another land, and she was taken a few hundred to another state. Both unconscious until the early hours of the next day, until they awoke from their slumbers. Scott, found he was in another country, soon he found a job and it was two years later, when his Sprit Guide Sarah came to him, telling him of Rosie's location and what had happened to her. He set out to find her that same day, but thoughts ran through his mind, had she forgotten her and does she want to be found?
Rosie awoke in a den; a wolf had found her that night, his name was Shadow. Soon they became friends, but Rosie felt more then that, for she felt he was the sweetest, caring and most loving wolf she'd ever had the chance to meet. They fell in love, and many months later, she gave birth to two pups, Dakota and Lupa. She never told them of her past, other then she had a friend called Scott, who they presumed was another wolf, but also the story of the Starnik that all pups are told as a bedtime story and for future hope one day they'd return. But they got more then they bargained for. On the pups eighth month of life, they soon found out they were no ordinary wolves. They discovered their eyes had changed to that of her mother's when she was with Scott, and feared they'd caught a disease of some kind and were convinced they were going to die. But it was Rosie who explained what the cause was. She explained who and what she really was, who Scott was and what they were destined to do. She helped them in discovering their abilities, Dakota and his power of teleportation, to be in one place adn then another in a split second, and Lupa and her impregnable shield to stop anything from touching her or her family. What Rosie had done was pass on her Starnik genes onto them, something the prophecy never foretold, Children of the Starnik!
One day Rosie felt different, her skin had become that of a younger wolf, old scars and wounds had healed, and her powers had returned. That's when she found that Scott had returned, he kept his promise and the Starnik were reunited. But the Ditori were hot on their heels. All four wolves and the single human were chased, nearly costing Shadow his life. That night, it was their Spirit Guide that came to them once more and after congratulating them, offered them yet another gift. The Original Starnik in the afterlife agreed to share their power with them, increasing their own drastically for the troubled day's ahead that they were sure to face. It was a painful process, more then giving birth or turning into a wolf they say.
The next day they were all found by a man, claiming he knew who they were and that he wanted to help. They chose to go with him to his facility, there they met new friends, and some they called family, but most importantly, a place they called home. This place was a safe haven for all things supernatural adn it was a palce they found they were not alone. The world was full of supernatural beings. They discovered the true strengths of their abilities, Rosie became immortal, her healing capable of bring those back two minutes after death, her wind manipulation capable of creating tornadoes, and finally her shockwave, said to be able to level buildings. Scott was said to have the power to lift six loaded trucks with ease, his Lycanthropy quicker and painless and is accuracy sharper. But the Ditori weren't having any of their new found happiness.
They once again forcibly controlled and manipulated Scott into killing dozens of men and woman working in this place they called home and heaven. Including the life of Rosie's mate, Shadow. When he came back to his senses, it was too late. They buried him that night, and everyone went into mourning. Scott was never the same again, he took the life of his friends and best friends mate and father to her children.
Many months later, everyone had moved on from the incident and Shadow's death. In that time Lupa and Dakota received a set of gifts from there grandmother, Dakota became a conjurer, the ability to make anything physically appear before him to teleport anything or anyone without having to touch them. And his grandmother Sarah placed a part of her in Lupa, giving her the power to summon the dead adn commune with them, resulting in her become half deceased, with a heart rate less then five beats per minute, a core temperature of a corpse and a respiratory rate barely noticeable.
Soon something unpredictable happened. Rosie and Scott both started to develop feelings for one another. When Scott was as a wolf, those feelings went sky high, never when he was human. It was during a full moon that many things were discovered, they admitted their feelings for one another, but Rosie felt she was questioning her loyalty to Shadow. Suddenly they found themselves in a kiss; instinct had taken over, making them show their love. What they felt was true, they both did feel something towards the other other then friendship, but Rosie denied her feelings. In an attempt to get answers she killed herself, her increased power resulted in her gaining immortality. She met with her late mate for a brief moment, discovering it was he and her mother who controlled them to do it. He wanted her to move on from him, and the best candidate in his eyes was Scott. When she came around, the two destined lovers decided to put their feelings to one side whilst Rosie chose on what she should follow, her mind saying no, or her heart saying yes.
With all thoughts and feelings put aside, Scott's mother and father contacted them, warning them of a supply convoy for the Ditori. With the help of their supernatural friends, they stopped the convoy, resulting in the Ditori being powerless for many more months.
It was then only a few weeks later the two chose to accept they were in love, they told Lupa and Dakota, and was happy to have Scott as part of the family and call him dad. Their Guide Sarah reversed his Lycanthropy, allowing him to live with the love of his life, with no awkward complications.
They started on what they were destined to do, and with their children's help, both Lupa and Dakota felt they inherited their gifts to assist them. They integrated a human town with a pack they rescued from the Ditori, first a small gathering, then a party, now they live in peace in the town. Wolves are free to walk in and out, communicate, and participate in the community's activities. With the help of three supernatural friends and three humans, they taught the town our language, they are able to understand every word we say.
In that time, they've done the same with two other packs and towns. Every one of them happy to share their towns with our kind, and wolves happy to see humans walking in the forests and communicate with them on a friendly basis.
Four months after Scott and Rosie fell in love, and the first town was integrated, strange things started to occur. Scott was plagued with nightmares and visions of the SRC's destruction, including the deaths of many he loved and held dear to him. He did not heed these warnings and continued to go about his day to day life with his family. In this time Lupa and Dakota discovered their abilities were still growing slow and steadily, and Lupa was taught the art of Astral Projection by her grandmother to allow her half dead spirit to walk through the portals she can now conjure and step through to the other side. And Dakota was now able to jump practically anything that moved. Also, Sarah told them to seek out a temple, created by the Dire Wolves themselves, which they found and shortly made a home of it. But it was within the first few days more of these nightmares happened, becoming more vivid and deadly in both the dream world and reality. He discovered he was given them by a Dark Wolf, explaining he was Scott's Shadow Guide, one that teaches you to overcome fears, obstacles using their dark abilities, saying he was going this for a good cause, but Scott couldn't see why. He demanded that Scott turn off his emotions, and give into Expression, a deadly and ark dark art to the person under it's influence and to those around them, one that supernaturals like Scott can learn to harness as a power to put a target in the most unbearable pain and eventually death. But to do that, one must turn off his feelings, become a heartless monstrosity and risk the lives of his friends and family. He refused, leaving the Dark wolf with no other choice but to increase the vividness of his nightmares, making him see a reason to do it.
One night during a nightmare he was wounded, but when he awoke from his slumber it inflicted his body here in this world, things were getting serious. The dreams only became worse when they started happening in the real world, finding everything he looked at was the Dark Wolf, his nightmares were coming for him outside his dreams now.
When his family found him, he was nearly all but lost, his sanity starting to slip away. Sarah vowed to find out as much as she could, but sadly returned with very little, only all that Scott knew and that the gods forbid her to stop this Dark Wolf from doing what he was asked to do. Three days he was unconscious, three nights he was forced to watch the visions unfold and there was no way to end it. When he was finally granted to return home, he found more then he bargained for. Rosie was pregnant! The family couldn't believe it, and were ecstatic to have another addition to it. They young couple had mated after leaving their children three days prior to Scott's awakening, giving them the opportunity they needed, but none expected this. During this happy time the nightmares seemed to end, much to his relief.
But sadly it wasn't meant to be, a week into her pregnancy, Rosie found herself in nearly unbearable pain from her abdomen, she had miscarried the pups. For days she was devastated, not talking to anyone unless necessary. But being the faithful mate, Scott was there for her and took her out on a night the two never forgot, a beautiful view over the Valley in which they once lived and a lovely dinner for two. That night they sang into the heavens, and Rosie insisted they mate again, which they did, and unbeknown to the two, the next morning, life was already growing inside her.
More days passed, and it came to a day that Scott wanted to give up on life. He hadn't had anymore nightmares, but he felt like he was living one. After meeting his friend Dean in a wood, feeling he was in danger, he was shot. Lupa was able to protect her family, but not Dean, for he was too far out of reach and the others powers don't work inside her shield. Then it was the Ditori who stepped out of the trees, and informing them the bullet embedded in Dean's abdomen was laced with a slow acting but very fatal poison, giving him a month to live. To Sam's annoyance, the Starnik managed to escape, taking Dean with them straight to a hospital. The wound itself wouldn't kill him now, but the doctors discovered it was a poison of the likes they have never encountered before, and a good reason too, for it was discovered by the Ditori as the drug to temporarily take away the Starnik's powers, but to humans it was a poison, and there wasn't a cure.
Scott was furious, not only at Sam for doing this to him, but also at the doctors, not believing they were doing all they could, he wasn't going to watch as he friend slowly started wasting away and die in front of him. But it was Rosie who delivered yet more news that would make anyone stop in their angered frenzy. She once again bore his child. Scott's attack on the doctor came to a stop in an instant, apologising for his actions and letting all this process for a moment, his friend was to die, but his wife was pregnant again. Neither thought it was possible for her to conceive after miscarrying, but they came to the conclusion that her hormones were everywhere, her heat still present, giving her the opportunity to conceive once more.
Dean was ready to accept death, believing that his god wished for him to die at this time, he wasn't afraid of it. The following month was filled with the things we wanted to do before he died, the last he described "as the best day of his life", but it was also to be his last. He died in the arms of his friends and family, his last wish that Lupa take him over, which she gladly did and to be greeted by his grandfather.
Scott on the other hand couldn't take the pain of losing his friend and sought for the Dark Wolf, he wanted all the pain to go away, he wanted to turn it off, and he was the one to help. He did find him, and he did turn it off, leaving the rest of his emotions on. He felt nothing but sadness to his friend's death, nothing to the miscarriage of his pups, nothing to anything in his past; he didn't feel pain any longer. He was eternally thankful to his Shadow Guide, and promised to do anything in return. He had one thing on his mind, he demanded that Scott come and see him every morning and night, to ensure the remainder of his emotions stayed in tact, if not, he WOULD kill his family. Scott accepted his wish; he didn't wish to kill his family and unborn pup. It was that night he discovered who his Demonic Guide was, it was Rosie's former mate Shadow! The Wolf God Sirius thought it would be a good partnership for Shadow to be Scott's Guide, and a good partnership it was. But Scott didn't see it that way, to ensure he remained with his feelings, Shadow tortured him, both mentally and physically, nearly killing him at one point.
At the funeral, the Ditori attacked, what kind of sick people attack during a funeral? Not excepting this, Scott made a small but powerful army, consisting of his children, Michael and Glenn, and raided their base, killing as many as they could find. During their leave they ran into Scott's parents, and seeing this as the perfect opportunity, they left with them, to live with their son.
He did as his Guide asked him, but another Guide of his, Sarah, wished for him to stop, resulting in the dark side of Scott start to shine through, and begin to take control. As the days went on, he was frequently missing sessions, more and more of the darker personality starting to take control. It then got to the point that Scott had enough of his Guide that he used his new found power on him, the only way to hurt a Spirit Guide, and he had the power to do so. Shadow had failed what he tried not to do; he put his family in danger, now he had to clear it up. Scott returned home, happy and refusing to believe his darker side was influencing him. He concocted a lie and told Sarah that Shadow was doing it as revenge for killing him and taking his mate and children.
Rosie sensed something was different about him, but couldn't place her paw on it. By now Sarah had figured out herself who was behind Scott's mental and physical torture, but it was at that fateful moment she was now able to sense where Shadow was. She found him, and was ready to find out if it was possible to kill something already dead, but Shadow was able to make her see sense, that the things Scott said about him were lies, he started this with good intentions, but it was Sarah who wanted him to stop, resulting in slowly unleashing the caged monster within their charge. It was both their faults for what is happening, they have both put their families in danger, and now both Demon and Angel had to stop it. Shadow knew of someone who can help, and ordered Sarah to tell the endangered family, including Scott to seek out a wolf living in Alaska, whilst Shadow went to warn that very Wolf of their arrival and what needed to be done.
The day after they arrived, Lupa exited the den they slept in for the night and discovered a wolf outside, but something was strange about it. It stood a good ten inches taller and longer then the average wolf; he was a giant in her eyes. His name was Faolan, and he was sent to retrieve them and take them back to his master. Remaining cautious of the giant, Lupa awoke her family and together, all four of them followed the massive wolf to wherever it was he had to bring them. They discovered that this Wolf was a very kind and caring soul, Lupa immediately seeing that they'd be good friends, and that they did. Faolan was very concerned for Rosie and the fact she was four and a half weeks pregnant, just wanting her to take it easy. They found during the walk they could trust him, but still remained wary of the stranger they only met a few hours ago.
They reached their destination after a few hours, and within they discovered something that would rock the world. The Dire Wolves that were believed to be extinct, they never were, seventeen of them still survived and lived in a temple similar to Scott, Rosie, Lupa and Dakota did, kept alive by the bracelets of immortality created by the shaman of their pack. But then came a sudden shock and realization, an older Wolf, a shaman knew to expect them and ordered for Scott detainment. Unable to understand why, Rosie and her children fought for his release, but soon discovered why. The shaman told them of the message he received and that Scott was being taken over by Expression, the family didn't want to believe it, they wouldn't, but it was when they heard it from Scott's own lips that made them understand why he's been acting so strange. He wasn't yet under its spell, but will be with the slightest push in the wrong direction. That night the Shaman and Faolan, his assistant tried to cage the beast within him, but failed, they pushed him in the wrong direction, losing Scott to his inner demons.
When Rosie came to see him, he was a different wolf, calling her a whore, calling Dakota his next victim to die like his father, and Lupa being in heat at the time, calling her his sex toy if he got out. This wasn't Scott, and they knew it. She left unable to hear anymore, and pleading they do something to bring him back. They promised her they would; they have done so with many before him, but will have to do extreme things to bring him back. Two weeks passed, and in that time Scott still refused to turn his emotions on, Lupa and Faolan fell in love, unknown to anyone else, and Rosie's womb containing their pup still continued to grow. The Dire Wolves battled with Scott's sanity, trying many methods to break him, including starving him for the entire two weeks, suspending him from the ceiling via a pole through his scruff for days, nearly drowning him to cause a fear reaction for several more, and locking him in an near airtight, claustrophobic hole for more days, all coming to no success.
They came to visit him every few days, not wanting to be around the wolf they once loved and seeing him this way. They went to their friends for comfort, all the different ones and when coming to see Tony, Lexi and her mate Karl, they find they have been trying for pups, but due to her barren nature, she was unable to conceive her own. Pitying her, they sought comfort in each other and promised to help her get through this tough time.
But one night, Scott managed to escape and run to the Human town a few miles away. Following his heightened sense of smell, he sought out the first moving thing he found, unfortunately it was two humans, which he killed and begun gorging himself on like a feast. He hadn't eaten in two weeks, but now the taste of human flesh was on his mind and running down his throat, he needed more. He explored the town, and soon came across a church where inside he took the life of the vicar, but not before discovering the power of the human god who first prevented Scott's attack. But Scott outwitted him and ripped open his throat. But as he was going to feast once more, his family caught up with him, knocking him unconscious and bringing the vicar back into the living world.
That night they needed a more drastic method, so Lupa and Dakota brought someone Scott used to hold closely to him, Tony, his brother to him and a man Scott has known nearly all his life. Much to our ancestor's anger and spite, they let him try, but on the condition they can kill him if he fails. Regrettably he did, but the shamans apprentice; Faolan saw a brief change in Scott and came up with an idea of his own. He forced Scott to watch as he killed his brother, bring Scott to the realization that Tony was dead. He started to feel sadness and pain, but followed by joy when Faolan slipped on his immortality bracelet before he did it, and preventing his death. Scott was back, expression on longer present and his dark side once more caged, he had emotions once more and he could feel.
But he still was unsure as to what he should do now. He was told that he would have to recover and take it easy with life in general as not to release the monster again. The shaman had seen this before and produced a memory waver, something for Scott to consume and forget his memories, then all he has to do is follow his heart to where he truly should be, with his family, or away from them. He was still a danger to them, and he didn't want to be.
The next morning, they discovered they had been harbouring the Starnik. They envied the ones before them, and had no idea the ones they foretold of were alive. Scott took the potion before they could react and they left. But not before Faolan renounced his love for Lupa, breaking her heart in two. He couldn't love something like her, she was everything he learnt to hate, she was the offspring of that very thing.
The potion was taking effect by the time they arrived home, so Scott had little time to explain everything before his son took him far away to do what needed to be done, but he vowed to return before the birth of his pup, but he knew he may not or not at all.
Two days passed, Rosie was due to go into labour any day and Scott had not returned. But it was when the mother to be again and her children were summoned to the SRC things were going down soon. Sam, the leader of the Ditori waged war on them, wanting blood after what they did to his Head Quarters, he wanted blood, and he was bringing all his three hundred strong to get it. Unknown to Rosie, Scott, Lupa, Dakota and several people from the SRC rampaged through the Ditori HQ, taking many lives. Now they were regretting that move.
On the night it was to start, Lupa travelled with her brother to seek out retribution from her previous lover. After sharing quotes the other said to one another once, Faolan saw reason, she had no control over who she would become, and like he once said, "you can never hate someone you once love". She gained his trust once more, the two no more then friends.
That same night the battle started, and Scott returned just in time to save his friend and children with his memories back, his heart wanted him to be with his family at this time. But when they went to find Rosie, she went into labour, during a war! The pup was coming, and thirty minutes later it came, a beautiful, healthy, black furred she-pup they named Myka. She was left in the care of lead agent John, whilst her father and brother battled and her mother and sister fought a fire waging in the forest where sadly Lupa witnessed the SRC werewolf pack's fate within the blaze and the Angel of Death coming to take them, and Scott witnessed Glenn run into a wall of bullets. And when the family all returned, the discover John dead and Myka missing.
Later on Sam announced he has Myka and is willing to swap her for either Scott or Rosie, without one Starnik, the other is powerless. Refusing to put his family in further danger, Scott broke Rosie's neck and trapped the others against the ceiling, leaving them like that until he was far enough away for it to wear off. His dreams were coming true, the wounds he possessed, the deaths of his friends, only three hadn't happened yet and he wasn't going to let that happen. But when he arrived and prepared himself for his execution, Dakota jumped before him and took the bullet as his own, giving his life for his step-father. Scott unleashed everything he had, channelling his dark side for power and using the one he already to save his daughter and dispatch his enemies and the murderers of his son.
When Lupa and Rosie finally caught up, Sam appeared from his hiding spot and gunned down both of them and finally Scott whilst his back was turned. But both husband and wife remained alive, just clinging onto life. He was able to muster all the power he could and Apexed a gun, firing it and hitting Sam directly in his stomach. But it seems it wasn't enough, for when the others from the SRC arrived, he was gone, and Rosie let death take her in his icy hands, leaving Scott to protect his daughter. Knowing he was going to die, he and his mates final wish was the young couple, Lexi and Karl take her as their own. Due to her barren nature, Lexi was unable to have her own pups, but now both she and Karl had the opportunity to be parents, even if it wasn't to their own pup. In his last breath, Scott was able to remove a bracelet bestowed unto him by the Dire Wolves, and asked not only that they give it to her, but that no-one tells her of who her parents were and who she really is, a daughter of the Starnik. She was safer from the outside world and to herself not knowing.
Death came and collected the last of the Starnik, now the family meeting once more in the afterlife. Their adventures were over, and they could finally rest, knowing their only living heir was in the safe paws of her adoptive parents. During the pass on, many came to take them, friends from their past, before Lupa and Dakota were born, and those that lost their lives on the same night. They even had the privilege of having the Original Starnik come for them, congratulating them for completing what they started but failed to do. They would always watch down from above on their daughter, and now that Sarah and Shadow had no charges they were free spirits, vowing to ensure Myka never know who she was, or what.
Chapter 1- Nobodies P.O.V
A week, a long, slow, mournful, dark week had passed since the great war of the SRC. It was all over the news the first thing the next morning, a battle of the supernaturals and an unknown organization. The battle was gory; bodies, bullet shells and blood littered the streets and the town centre.
The Starnik are dead, this time they really were, they had the bodies to prove it. It was said that the wolf Starnik, Rosie was pregnant, but now we find she has no pup, if she was then it died with her, still within her womb. But unknown to the world and only to a dozen people, she did conceive and birth an heir, a daughter of the Starnik. She was given up mere hours after birth to a couple who were unable to have their own, now they can experience being parents. The clean up started immediately, but the funerals were held a week later.
The funerals were held in a cemetery in the same town as the SRC, keeping those they loved the most close to home. The last to be laid to rest, were the Starnik. Many came to the funeral, including the daughter. Her eyes were only just opening, like her father, she bore cerulean, sea blue eyes, but her vision and hearing were not yet what they would be, she was unable to understand what was going on around her, but felt safe to be around her parents. The size of a small doll, she couldn't yet talk, she couldn't walk far, and she couldn't understand what many were saying. She was born into a world where Wolves and Humans were starting to live together, a better and safer world for both species; her life couldn't be safer as long as she was with her family. The turn up consisted of all those who fought during the great war and many others, which were Michael, Melissa, Skye, Tony, Jenny, David, Lexi, Karl and their daughter Myka. Including many soldiers, old friends of the SRC, and unfortunately some news crews. Many did not want them to be here, but it seems as though they should be, for the world should know they died trying to make a difference.
Scott's parents were grieved to be here, no parent should have to bury their child. Finally the moment came, in the same grave first to be laid in their own coffins, the children of the Starnik, Lupa and the Dakota, followed by their mother and step-father. The same Vicar who performed Dean's funeral and the one whom Scott once killed performed the ceremony on this dark day. The grave stone said none other then "Here lies Scott, loving mate and father, Rosie, wonderful mate and mother, Dakota, inspiring friend and brother, Lupa, magnificent listener and sister. May they rest in peace for all eternity and smile down on us." The grave stone was a smooth, marble surface, two golden wolves standing on their hind paws reaching up along the sides of the stone and two more engraved in gold facing one another on the top, their necks crossed over like in an embrace. They were supposed to represent them, the children on the sides and the parents on the top.
Each started taking their turn in laying a white Lily, the family's favourite flower, known to many. Each of them said a few words to their fallen friends and family before returning to their seats or where they were standing. When it came to Lexi and Karl, he took their adoptive daughter by her scruff and placed her before the coffins in the ground, she had no idea what was going on, and so remained sat in-between her father's paws. They thanked them for giving them the chance to become parents, but were so sorry they couldn't be, it was their right to watch their daughter grow up, but now they'll have to do it up from a distance. After saying their words and dropping their lily, they walked back to where they once sat, once again with their daughter. They knew one day they'd have to tell her that she wasn't truly their pup, and who their parents were, and they were ready for that day, they knew what to say. Karl still had the bracelet on his wrist Scott pleaded to give to Myka when she could take its weight, which wouldn't be just yet, but soon she will be, enough to wear around her neck as a collar until she grows enough to wear around her paw.
The ceremony was over, but not before the dozens of wolves attending threw back their heads and released a howl of requiem for their fallen saviours. The funeral party left afterwards, either going home or attending the after party held at a large pub within the SRC town. There everyone conversed, sharing stories of the Starnik and their children, but a large group of the ones who knew them the most discussed what was to be done with the young she-pup curled asleep in her mothers paws.
"They don't want her knowing who she is." Michael stated.
"But she should know." Lexi protested as she gazed down at her adoptive daughter. "She'll want to know who she is someday."
"But it was their wish that she not know." Scott's mother, Jenny, replied.
"And we should carry it out." Tony added.
"But what if she asks?" Karl asked.
"Then tell her who they were, just not they were the Starnik."
"Then what?" Lexi asked.
"Then leave it at that, or she'll ask more." Tony added. "I'll be there with you when you do this."
"Thanks, we'll need all the help we can get."
"But what about Sam?" David asked. "He got away and may still be alive."
"I'm going to hunt him down." Michael replied. "And make sure he pays for his crimes."
"We're coming with you." Jenny said after glancing to her husband. "They killed our son and we will not let that go unanswered. As weird as it may be, he's a danger to our grand-daughter; we're not going to let our family get hurt."
"But what about the rest of wolf kind, I say we should do something." Mel said changing the subject.
"We'll carry on what they started." Skye answered. "We'll do what they did around the country, going town to town and forest to forest, finish what they started."
"We're with you on that." Lexi said with a smile. "Then at least she'll be doing something her parents would want her to do." She said as Myka gently shuffled against her chest.
"It's in her blood to help." Michael added. "Just give me a call and I'll be there."
"We all will." Melissa added. The Starnik may be dead, but their legacy will live on in the form of their friends and those they considered family. They were to go around doing what they started and failed to finish, like those before them. The world WILL be a better place for Humans and Wolves, The Starnik will not watch from above as everything they've worked for diminishes, and withers away back so Wolves and Humans once again feared one another.
I'm back guys, it's been a long week. I've been away camping with my church group at an Event here in England called NewWine and it was a blast. I experienced things and come back refreshed feeling the presence of Jesus and the Holy Spirit. But several other things have been on my mind since, one of which being this which i still haven't finished. I'm nearly at chapter forty and have many ideas to go. Another was that i had a brainstorming idea for a genuine Alpha and Omega fanfic, not something like this, a REAL one, something that i haven't seen anyone do before. But i will finish this, then do that one. Then i had another idea for a supernatural sci-fi story which would sound fun. I'm so looking forward to all of them. I can see myself finishing Children of the Starnik in the next two weeks.
Now back to this. The Starnik are dead, this time for real, they aren't coming back. Myka is to grow up the life of an ordinary wolf, but she has the Starnik's blood running through her veins, will she see something's different? The world knows of the Starnik's death, but will the world do anything about it, or will it go back to Wolves and Humans staying away from one another again? Let's hope not. I hope you live this story as you enjoy the rest, review each chapter and feel free to put what you like, i just ask you say what you HATE about it when it's done. Feel free to put good and bad things about it, just say the things you HATE about it later, that's how you kill a person's self confidence in this type of thing. But please review, i love hearing what you guys put, it excites me when my phone goes off telling me someone's put something. Enjoy guys, this is the last of the Starnik series. :p

P.S as you can see, I've rated it M because there are a few swears, gruesome and sexual scenes, but there isn't any mating that you swill read. I'm just doing it to play safe. :)
