Chapter twenty-four

The finale..

V looked at her losing team. Humans dying with reckless abandon and her dad wasn't saying anything about the witch bomb. She decided to take matters into her own hands. She ran to the forest where the bomb was and was about to turn it in when she heard footsteps behind her. She turned around and pointed her gun at the person only to find out it was Zayn.

"Oh it's you" she said before tucking her pocket knife back into her pocket. She focused back on the machine and turned it on. She waited for sometime but the machine was not working. "What's going on?" She asked Zayn as she kept on turning it off and on, "why is it not working Zayn?" She asked only to turn around and see Zayn smirking. "What?" V asked with pain laced in her tone, " what did you do? why are you doing this?" She asked.

Within a second, her hands were tied behind her back and she was disarmed completely. He stepped and crushed the radio she was once wearing. "What are you?" She asked and he smiled.

"Well for starters, I'm a vampire and I've lived for over a thousand years" he replied and she looked at him in confusion. "Don't be confused. All I had to do was pay off a family, my alibi. I told your father and the others and the ones before them that I had children abroad and they believed. A little lie was all it took" he explained. "I grew 'old', I went back 'abroad' and my 'son' came to fill my position in the founding members. No one suspected a thing" he added. "But today will be the end of it all. I will finally have the freedom I deserve" he said. "Take her out" he said to someone behind her. The person muttered a few words and V felt light-headed. Zayn squatted to her eye level and smiled.

"Too bad we didn't get to go on that date" he said and V fell on the floor. Zayn carried her up bridal style and looked at the man behind him. "Dax, wrap things up will you" he ordered before carrying V away.

   "Dad, I need some of our men. My friends are in danger" Jordan said as soon as he entered the premises of the pack house.

   "If it's for that mindless war, then forget it" his father replied before resuming his training with the pack warriors including Ciara.

   "Father, I can't stay still while innocent people are being killed." Jordan argued but his father didn't spare him a glance.

   "Innocent? Those people would've killed us all if they had the chance. I'm not helping those witch hunters and risk our safety" his father finalized and Jordan scoffed.

   "Safety? You call this being safe? You are imprisoning us, father." His father glared at him at that statement. The training was now long gone and the warriors just watched. "What's the point of being a werewolf if we only move out in the night? We barely even do that because of the so-called witch hunters. Why can't we just be ourselves huh?!" He yelled and his father flinched a little.

   "Jordan...", His father growled but Jordan was already filled with anger to care.

   "What are you training them for? For food hunting? What's the point of training them when they stay locked up here?!!" He yelled and the warriors backed away.

   "He's right" Ciara spoke up while walking towards Jordan and standing behind him.

   "Jordan.." his father growled before morphing into a wolf. Ciara was about to move in front of Jordan before he stopped her.

   "Stand down, this is my fight" he said before morphing into his wolf. His pupils turned blue and immediately the tattoo of Camilla's name on his neck glowed, the blue spread from his pupils to his entire eyes and he growled.

   "The trifeca wolf" a warrior said lowly and Jordan's father stepped back.

   "Don't do this Jordan" his father said after turning back to human. Ciara ran back to Jordan with a pair of sweatpants as he morphed back to human. He turned around to leave and the rest of the warriors followed him.

   "Don't try to stop me father, the pack has already chosen their alpha" Jordan said before leaving.

   Camilla and Scarlett approached the forest and they heard screams and explosions.

   "Stay here" Scarlett said to Camilla before running to the battle field. She entered the battle field and saw that the mages and vampires were having an upper hand. Before the sheriff could ask who she was or anything, she was already surrounded by mages.

     "O vos malorum morte!" She yelled and the mages and some vampires dropped dead. The sheriff and witch hunters froze in confusion and fear but the fight wasn't over. More mages and vampires came out and the battle became heated once more.

  Jordan stood from afar with the wolf warriors and studied the environment. Before he could lay his hand on what's what, he saw Camilla running into the battle field and she jumped. Mid-air she slit into six clones and those clones morphed into werewolves.

   "Damn" he whispered under his breath before he looked at the wolves behind him, "Protect her! She's your Luna!!" He yelled and he equally morphed and they all ran in a triangle format to the battle field.

   "Was that Camilla?" The sheriff asked no one in particular.

   "Yes father" Micheal replied while Sean stood in shock by the entrance of the house as his childhood best friend turned to a wolf.

   "Expelliamus!" Sean heard someone yell knocking him out of his thoughts. He saw Scarlett in the middle of a fight, Camilla.. well Camillas fighting even Jordan too was fighting more like covering Camilla. Sean ran inside the house as the mages and vampires after him were too many. Even his sword was knocked off in the process of fighting. He looked around and saw a sword in a showcase glass. He was about to take it when he heard footsteps behind him.

    "Step away from the glass" A man said while cracking his knuckles. "That's an ancient sword. It'll burn you to ashes the second you hold it." He continued while the room filled with other mages and vampires. Scarlett apparated few feet away from Sean and looked at him alarmed.

   "Don't touch that sword Sean" she warned, "I read about it in my mum's book, it'll kill you." she explained. Sean looked through the window and saw Micheal spitting up blood, Camilla was still fighting even his uncle was still there, Colonel Bradford was injured and laid on the ground, his cousin Elora had injured her leg. He looked at the sword again.

   "I have no choice Scar" he said before taking the sword. He immediately started getting visions and flash images

   The doorbell of a small house rang and a woman carrying a baby answered the door. A woman entered the house, the same woman that represented the witches' council after uncle Russell died. The first woman snapped her fingers hurriedly and her baby disappeared.

   "Cora, is this how you ended up?" The representative asked before turning to look at Cora, "No time for pleasantries. I'll eliminate your husband and each and every person you know down to the last shop attendant in the grocery store till you decide to follow me." She simply said.

    "What?" Cora asked and the representative chuckled.

    "I have people stationed at different places ready to kill everyone you know. So it's either you follow me or risk their lives." The woman said. Cora looked at the direction of her bedroom before nodding.

   Everything changed and the next thing Sean saw was Cora kneeling beside her son's bed. The son was a little bit older this time. He was in his late twenties. She started weeping while taking his hand.

   "I'm so sorry Fredrick. I'm sorry" she said before cutting a small part of his palm and putting his blood in a container. She healed the wound quickly before her son woke up.

  Sean's surrounding changed again and he saw the woman in a room. She poured her son's blood inside the inscriptions in the sword.

  "I hope you use this to kill the witch that cursed you and break your curse" she said. The door burst open and the representative entered with other witches and warlocks.

  "Capture the woman and get that sword" she ordered. Cora smiled at the woman and stabbed herself with the sword.

  Sean's eyes turned white and he swung the sword in front of him and red sparks left the sword and the inscriptions glowed red. He stormed towards the mages who were shocked that a human could wield the sword. At each stab, the mages turned to ashes and in a matter of minutes each and every mage and vampire was no more both inside the house and in the field.

  Sean's eyes turned to normal and he fell on the ground dropping the sword in the process.

  "Sean!" Scarlett yelled as she ran to him. Camilla, who was now putting on a big t-shirt which was obviously Jordan's, was sobbing on Jordan's body. "Hey wake up! I haven't even told you I love you so get up!" She yelled. Sean barely opened his eyes and smiled  He closed his eyes and Scarlett sobbed loudly.

   "I can't feel a pulse" she whispered touching his neck. Micheal tried to come close but Scarlett made a force field around her and Sean. "Stay away from us!" She yelled and the glass windows of the house shattered. She then apparated with Sean.

  Jordan carried Camilla in his hands and walked out. The wolves surrounded him in an upside down triangle format. They snarled at any witch hunter that looked at them making them cower in fear.

  Before Micheal and the sheriff could comprehend what happened, Micheal's phone dinged and he saw V's number. He opened the video and he saw Zayn.

   "Now witch hunters, I want to show you an example of what will happen to anyone who tries to get in my way" he said and the video man moved the camera to a girl who was tied up and struggling against the constraints. It didn't take any magician for them to know it was V. Zayn slowly caressed her neck before snapping it.
