How we became Cursed
Chapter 10- To Late
This is a story of love and betrayal, of loyalty until death, or things that are even worse. This is the tale of a family torn apart, bringing them even closer than before. This is the tale of how I died, and lived again, and again, and again...
Basil was quick to follow Gingers footprints, but he had to be, it rained a lot and that would wash them away. We went through a few bushes, and Kye and me almost lost Basil a few times, but we managed to keep up. Eventually, Basil stopped, frozen with his mouth open. "Basil, what in he…" My sentence was cut short. In front of us, this hideous beast was standing. He stood about ten inches high. He bared long fangs, some dyed pink. I didn't want to know why. His fur was a brownish color, mangled, with stains of red on it.
I was in too much shock to speak. The thing, which I knew was a werewolf, smiled and began to approach us. I jerked Kye behind me, and slowly reached for my knife. Basil stood in front of us. "We mean no harm. Please leave us, or I will be forced to hurt you." He spoke. The creature hissed at him, and came even closer as I pulled the knife from my leg, and hid it behind my arm.
"MmmmmmmMMMMMMmmmmmmm
MmmmmmmMMMMMMmmmmmmm
Shut your eyes and sleep dear,
Sleep in peace, rest for now
Dream of love not of fear."
A sweet singing voice filled the air all around us. My eyelids began to feel heavier and heavier, until I began to slowly lower to the ground. I could see from the corner of my eye Kye fall to the ground, just before everything went black.
We rushed over the ground, me barley being able to keep up with little Gypsie. I then took to flight, being much quicker in that way. "Hurry, Hurry!" Cried out Gypsie, until we reached a field of purple flowers. "Aha!" She squeaked out, and began picking them. "Gypsie, if what you say is true, we have no time to pick flowers!" "But Ginger, these are a very special flower, they are wolfsbane." She said, before filling her pockets with the flowers, and continuing on her run.
I walked up to the boy. He was young, looking about twelve or thirteen. His fur was an even gray, and his hair was jet black. He wore all black, and has a silver collar on his neck. "Silly, silly child." I giggled as I went up and removed the collar, its spikes putting deep wounds on my hands, and its silver burning me. It hurt, but I was accustomed to pain. One of his friends, a male mouse. Moaned weakly as he lie on the grass. I smiled. "No one will help you now" I said as I bared my fangs, ready to puncture his throat.
I screamed out loudly, for I couldn't help myself. There was the creature, her fangs bared ready to bite Fidget, and her dog also ready to bite Kye. I ran quickly, praying that I could stop her in time, and also hoping Gypsie could save Kye.
I drove my fangs into his neck, his blood filling my mouth. I drank it happily, but before I could finish, something hit me hard.
I ran as quickly as I could, but it was to late. I saw her pierce Fidgets neck with her fangs, then suddenly something I never expected to happen did.
I woke up with a jerk. I was in the most horrific pain I had ever felt. My throat felt like someone had slit it. I could feel someone holding me, sucking my blood from my body. I then revealed the knife in my hand, and pierced the creature were I thought it's heart was.
I watched as Fidget's hand jerked quickly, piercing Lucy in her heart with a sharp object, a knife. She threw him from her, and screamed in agony. I watched as blood spewed from her mouth, and she fell to the ground, jerking around wildly. Slowly she began to stop, eventually not moving at all. She was dead, Fidget had killed her. I then brought my attention to Kye, who was rapped up in Gypsie's arms, the beast dead, with a mouth full of flowers. Kye was crying, and Fidget was rapped up in a ball, and not moving. Suddenly, I heard a moan, and saw someone whom I never expected to see at this moment, Basil. He was lying on the ground, slowly coming to consciousness. I ignored him, and went to my brother.
The creature jerked quickly, and I was thrown aside. I shut my eyes, shielding myself with my wings as I heard horrible screaming, and then silence. I heard Basil moan, but ignored him. I was in too much shock to move. I then felt wings wrap around me, and not knowing whom it was, I tightened into even a tighter ball, and shook slightly. "Shhhhshsh…" I heard a voice say, I recognized it to be Gingers. "It's over, it's alright." She spoke, but how wrong she was, for it was just beginning.
