Sophia's POVI woke up early which was unlike me, but I couldn't sleep, mainly for two reasons. One today is my fifteenth birthday and two, the fact that my idiot friends and girlfriend almost got killed st night. I don't even want to think what would have happened to them if I hadn't gotten there in time. As for the injured wolf that attacked them, he was in the infirmary healing. Apparently, he was attacked by the thing that attacked us the other night. I've been asking my brothers, the pack, my parents, Elder Pame even my grandpa but no answer. Either they don't know, or they aren't telling me which is stupid. I mean we almost or could have died fighting that thing the least they could do is tell us what that woof looking thing is, but I guess that is wishful thinking.After a nice half an hour shower I took extra care in doing my hair. I wanted to look wonderful but not drop dead sexy, that was for tomorrow. I was in tight dark pants, knee high leather heeled boots, a grey sleeveless turtleneck blouse, a long sleeve bck linen open blouse with red rose patterns all over it that ended at my butt held by a bck broad leather belt with a rose center. My hair was curled in a high ponytail and of course no makeup. Grabbing my things and ended downstairs to see my brother's girlfriend Fiona helping Mom with breakfast and everyone else. With three adult male and female werewolves in the house Mom would definitely need help."There's is my mujer joven. Feliz decimoquinto cumplea?os mi hermosa rosa," my cheered pulling me into a tight but warm hug.(There's my young woman. Happy fifteenth birthday my beautiful rose.)"Thanks Mom and a wonderful morning to everyone.""How is my princess going on her special day? Did you sleep well?" Inquired Dad pcing a kiss on my forehead."I'm fine on all fronts Daddy.""Happy birthday baby sister," the twins said in unison. No matter how many times they do that it isn't any less weird."Thanks, big bros.""Have any pns after school today?" asked Mom."Nope. Everyone is getting their things ready for tomorrow. So, I'll just come home and go for a run. Being a wolf is too rexing.""I hear ya sis, "said Ethan stuffing his face. "Just be careful."I rolled my eyes and took a pte with a widespread from Fiona, "happy birthday Sophia and I absolutely love that outfit."Last night Fiona and I talked nonstop and bonded over clothes and other things. Surprisingly she talks shop like me, it's actually how she and Ethan met. I've always wanted an older sister to talk to about these things. In some ways Sarah became that for me, minus the love for cars, I had my brothers and the boys for that."Thanks, Fifi, if you guys are still here next week we could go shopping with the girls?""I would love that."After eating and brushing my teeth Paul's horn sounded from outside. Telling everyone ter I walked out and hopped into the Jeep they all wished me happy birthday and we drove off."Hey Soph, I know the whole gift giving thing is tomorrow at the party, but I want to give you mine, "stated Josh in a warm voice. I nodded at him, and he pulled out a wood and metal neckce. The wooden parts were bck, and the metal parts were red. On which bead was an ongoing tribal carving that was sprayed blue, and the center piece was a tribal wolf head with a combination of all three colors. It was beautiful, so beautiful that the only think I could do was stare at it."Do you like it?" Instead of answering I pulled him in a warm hug with teary eyes."I love Joshy. Thank you lots. Could you put it on for me please?" He took the neckce and pced it around my neck. With this present alone my day was so much more special, and it was just 6:58.We pulled into school and got out of the Jeep. With a wave we went to our friends. Has Josh and I walked in a loud voice came from the direction of our lockers. "THERE'S OUR BIRTHDAY GIRL," Shayloh shouted out at us. We walked over to our friends with smiles on their faces."Happy birthday baby girl," Chloe hugged me. Her eyes caught sight of Josh's neckce and gasp. "This. Is. Beautiful. Where did you buy it?"I smiled, "It's my birthday present that Josh made."She looked at him in surprise. "My, my, Joshua, I didn't know you were so good with your hands."Suddenly I felt a pair of hands around my waist and a nimble on my right earlobe. I eased into her with a smile, taking in her Lavender perfume. "Hmmm. And good morning to you too Kai Kai.""Happy birthday Princess," she said turning me around to kiss my lips. I looked at her with a wide grin at what she was wearing. It was almost the exact outfit I had on. She wore a tight white pants, knee high yellow leather heeled boots, a cream sleeveless turtleneck blouse, a long sleeve yellow linen open blouse with white dragon patterns all over a white broad leather belt with a fire center emblem. She wore bangs at eyebrow length, rest flowed down her back with a shine I love seeing. "You ready for tomorrow?""Of course I've been waiting for still almost my whole life. I'm pass ready at this point." With that the bell rang sending us to Science Css with Miss. Johnson. Sitting in css the morning announcements came in through the suspended TV in the cssroom. I choose to ignore it like I always do and started to draw in the back of my notebook."And finally, I want to send happy birthday wishes to our Artistic Princess Sophia Redway. Enjoy your day Rebel, wishes coming the Art students, Miss Lopez, the Dance Club and your friends." I looked up and turned to my friends to see a wink from Travis and Shayloh. Those two, sigh.In a fsh school was over and we all went home, lots to do for tomorrow. Paul dropped Cole, Joshua and I home before going back to school, he had Football practice and Sarah had Cheerleading practice. Anyway, I opened my front door and headed to the ridge for some water and saw a note on it.'Sis everyone's out preparing everything for tomorrow be back ter.' Erik.Well home alone nothing I'm not use to, so I do what I always do on a Friday. Me, a sandwich, a gss of lemonade and The Originals, my favorite TV series. Chloe likes The Vampire Diaries and has been trying to get my finish it, but I just can't, mostly because I hate Elena Gilbert with a burning passion. Like she's annoying, self-centered, an idiot. Her whole presence just makes my skin crawl. But Katherine and Bonnie, OMG those two need to be protected. Katherine is a bad bitch not to mention hot as hell and Bonnie, she's just fucking Queen. The Original on the hand is a Masterpiece compared to TVD. No annoying characters, no teen romance (gag) and Kus, he's just daddy like damn. At round 6 Josh and Cole walked in (note to self-practice locking the door)."Hmm there's this thing called knocking like seriously boys it's not hard. What if I was naked.""Yeah, right like you would do that," replied Cole."Of course I would. It's my house, I'm home alone and no one is gonna be home for a while.""She has a point Cole," Josh sat down beside me. "What are you up right now?""I'm about to go for a run to the Falls, wanna come?""Sure, but go on without us, we'll catch up just have something to do first.""Ok. And Cole gets out of my pantry," Cole slowly took his hand out with a shocked expression. "Are you really stealing from people with super hearing and smell?"After the boys left, I took off towards the Falls. This was the first time since I activated my curse that I'm running in my human form and it nice to see how my perspective has change with how fast I'm going. It was like everything slowed down, huh next time I'm in wolf form I really need to pay attention to that.I almost got to the Falls when a familiar scent caught my attention, the smell of death. The same smell that...... vampires, two of them by the smell of it. As the scent got closer, I readied himself, eyed glowed and cws out. Soon two figures stood surrounded me. Their red eyes stared at me with mischief."I remember you two. You were with Johnathan, right? What do you want?""What I want is to get back at you for kicking me in the nuts," one said with a stern expression."And what I want is to hear you scream like the little bitch you are. You see we are not from around here.""Clearly," I retorted."We can't see why Lady Raygan doesn't just wipe out the lot. Your kind shouldn't have the privilege of living in the same town as our kind.""Rex Harry. No sense expining it to a dead bitch." Suddenly I felt a hit that sent me back into a wall, not enough to break bones but it still hurt."Francis don't break our toy before I have chance with her," the one called Harry said stepping to his side."Lucky shot you leech. That won't happen again," I got up eyeing the two and took a deep breath. Ok remember what Dad told you."Don't fight with just your eyes Soph. Your thing is heightened not just your eyes, nose and ears but also your skin. We can feel the slightest change of the wind, temperature. When dealing with stronger than you focus on your sense of touch and hearing."Harry charged at me with a punch, smiling with confidence but I realized something. He was slower than Francis. At that moment I caught his hand than kicked him in the gut.'Soph we might be a little te. Elder Pame has us escort the wolf from st night back to his pack.''Call Johnathan and tell him to come get his two Vampires buddies.''Two what the hell.''Tell him to take his side of the Falls it's faster and safer.'"You know you two aren't smart at all. You started a fight with me where I have the advantage. And based on what Johnathan said the other day if I should bite you right now wouldn't a good time for you, would it?"Kairi's POVAll day today I've been repying what happened st night with the wolves. Their size, strength and those glowing yellow eyes not to mention Kami's warning. Speaking of whom has returned to the silent treatment. But something happened st night with that white and grey wolf, a feeling and her behavior. She attacked the bck wolf and not us. She even walked us back to the car.' You're thinking about going back to The Reservation, aren't you?''Oh, look who decided to start talking and yes, I'm going back. I have questions that need answers, answers you clearly know.''Fine, at least you're not bringing your weak ass friends with us. Just promise me something.''What?''Give me control if shit gets really. I picked up the same vibe I got from the thing that attacked me st night and you're still learning.''Ok deal but when do I know I'm ready?''It's a leap of faith Kairi.''Really? That's all it takes?''Fuck no. That shit will get you killed. When you're ready is the day, I stop being a backseat driver and start being your other eyes, an advisor and sister."'A sister?''It is complicated. I'm you but I'm not, I'll expin ter. Now let's get going.' After reaching home getting something to eat, rest and finishing my homework it was around 6. "Ok let's do this. The pce should be dark enough." I walked up to a shadow on the wall and focused, feeling myself connected with the shadow I stepped in. I've been practicing with shadow travel every night since the Binding Ritual and I think I have it down so far or at least the basics. It was awesome and chillingly scary at the same time. Awesome because all shadows are connected so I can go anywhere I want but I can only travel around Crescent Falls. Kami said it's because I'm focusing on my connection to the pce and not my connection to the shadows. It's scary cause I'm still not use to basically stepping or walking into a pitch-bck void. Coming out of the shadow of a tree to see a figure of a girl fighting two boys. I have never seen anything like it the three were moving faster than humanly possible only managing to make out the glowing red eyes of the boys and the yellow eyes of the girl, the same has that wolf. The girl was holding her own trying to keep the fight a one V one. With a growl pounced on one of the boys, tackling him to the ground then bit into his neck causing him to scream out in pain.'Go kill the other one right now or Sophia is going to die.''SOPHIA!!!!!?''Yes Sophia, our Sophia. Use the shadows.' Without thinking twice, I disappeared into the shadows jumping out behind him my sword already out above my head. Bringing it down with force it went straight down, clean. Both halves of the boy fell in a pool of blood. Looking down at the reality hit. I... I killed him. I cut him in half, straight down the middle My hands began to shake as I dropped my katana watching it dissolve into shadows. "Kairi" Sophia called out to me I couldn't move. Looking up at her as she walked over to me, her glowing yellow eyes slowly turning back to their regur blue."Kairi, baby, breath. It's going to be ok."Before I knew it, I was in a tight hug, tears began to fall. She began to stroke my hair trying to calm me down."How....are you not freaking out right now, Soph?"' It's because she's done it before.''For what she is now, she had to kill someone.'I pushed away from her looking at her wide eyed. She stood there with a concern look with a hint of fear."Sophia......W. What are you?""I am a werewolf," she said with a sigh."A werewolf? Were you going to tell me?""Yes. Eventually. But I was scared. Scared that would look at me the same way you're looking at me now, with fear. Even though I knew what you are.""You knew? For how long?""The week after the party. It was when I was kidnapped, I triggered the werewolf curse. When I.....killed...one of them, accidentally." I stood there looking at her with fear and shock. My girlfriend was a killer. I am a killer. All this time she knew about me and said nothing. "Redway" I voice called out from the darkness. It was Johnathan with glowing blood red eyes like the boys before."John, what the hell is this. You know any Vampires on our nds without the tribe's approval will be killed," she was upset looking at him."I told them, warned them but they have this superiority complex. They think that Vampires are unbeatable. I guess they know now.""Yea my brothers basically gave me the same lecture. I just wanted to go for a deep in the falls, that was all. But now Kairi not only now knows about us, but she also killed one to save me," her voice calmer with rexed shoulders. Was this normal for them talking about death like it was nothing."L..Lord Johnathan, please help me," the bleeding boy limped over to John, bck vein marks running from his neck. It was a deep bite with bck blood running down."Harry, Harry, Harry. You didn't listen to me," his voice was cold, but he wore a smile on his face. "As your creator and superior I expect obedience. Joshua and Cole warned you both that you don't know who is or what in this town. And look who you choose to go after the granddaughter of the FUCKING CHIEF OF THE WEREWOLVES. WERE YOU TWO TRYING TO START A WAR, A WAR WE MIGHT LOSE.""I'm s..s.sorry my Lord," he begged."I'm sorry too Harry. I have no need for people who fail me. And just like a child with a broken toy. I have no use for you; besides you're already dying from Sophia's bite." With supernatural speed he kicked him on his back and shoved his hand into Harry's chest. He let out a gasp, his eyes wide. Then he pulled his hand out with Harry's heart in it."What the hell happened here?" said another voice. I turned around to see Cole and Josh walking up to us with shocked faces. "Kairi, what are you doing here?""Long story," I said still processing all of this. Were they killers too? They seem more shocked about me being here then the two dead bodies."So, Johnny, what's gonna happen now?""The fault is not yours or Kairi's. I should have watched them better, as the one that turned them, I apologize," his voice now back to its normal calm tone like he didn't just kill someone. Soon Johnathan left leaving the bodies to burn, eventually. We soon left deciding to go to Sophia's home. It's funny when you look at it, I had to murder someone and watch someone else die to see where my girlfriend lived.
