Festival of Myths
* Serena's P.O.V *
The night was cold as it covered the world in it's vast darkness. But in this dark cloak was soon bright illuminating stars, that sparkled and glistened in the dark night. I watched Ky through the glass sliding door as the dark cloak hang above him in all his glory, the white moon shining down on the ocean. I watched as Ky sat there, unmoving and unwavering, it was getting late and I couldn't help but to worry about him.
"Serena," Jason said as he stood behind me.
"What is it Jason?" I asked him, my eyes unwavering from Ky.
"You need to rest, you've been worrying about him all day. Everyone else is already in bed," he whispered in my ear.
"I'm worried about your health, Luna," Jason replied sweetly.
* Ky's P.O.V *
"You," my eyes widen as I stared at the person in front of me. He flashed a smile, a smile That I knew all to well, his bright golden brown eyes flashed with mischief as his short golden brown hair danced in the wind. He wore a red t-shirt as his hands were in his dark brown short pockets, a black watch on his left wrist.
"Yep, it's me," my 14 year old self said as he stared at me.
"But...how... you're me...but...what?" I was so utterly confused. Who wouldn't be, your younger self is standing right in front of you talking to you. The 14 year old Ky chuckled as he stood in front of me, I looked at him.
"Well, I'm not actually here. I'm your conscious you see," he said as he sat down next to me.
"My conscious is my 14 year old self?"
"Yep," he said giving me a toothy grin.
"Oooh," I groaned. "This day just keeps getting worst and worst. First I can't stop thinking of the fire and now I'm seeing my 14 year old self."
"Hey! I wouldn't be here if you didn't keep mooping like an wimpy pup!"
I growled, "Who is the pup here!?" I snapped my head to him.
"You are! You over grown mutt!" He growled back at me, looking at me straight in the face.
"Why you..." I snarled as both of our eye became blazing red.
"Will both of you stop it!" a voice said and both of our heads snapped to who it came from. My eyes widen, it was Serena except she was 14. Her arms were crossed, her light brown eyes glaring at my 14 year old self. A white sun dress draped her body as she wore black leggings, the full moon illuminating behind her.
"Seriously Ky, you always find a way to get off topic. If I wasn't here-"
"I wouldn't get anything done," he admit with a smile.
Her expression softened to a kind smile as she tilted her head to the side, her long wavey hair dancing in the wind. Then she said in a soft whisper, "yes."
"Thank you, Serena," he said as he stood up and walked to her. She looked at him innocently and loving, the same way Serena looked at me some times. His eyes soften as he placed his hand on her cheek caressing it and then he kissed her forehead lovingly, longingly, passionately. Serena fluttered her eyes closed, speechless from his action of affection.
"You need to return to her," he whispered into her forehead and she nodded. Then...she shattered into a million pink petals and blew away in the wind. He stood there solemnly, his movement still as he stood there, staring at the moon, watching the petals fly away. It was silent as I watched him, the younger me, so young and yet so filled with compassion and protection.
"You see, we both have the same thing we want to protect." He broke the silence as he turned to me halfway.
"Her...it's her that is precious to us. If she dies, then so do we for we can't stand the pain from losing her. Correct?"
I nodded and he continued to speak.
"Something is going to happen, something terrible and it's going to be soon."
I froze, "What? What's going to happen?!"
"Serena's in danger, people want her, bad people."
"Who wants her? What's going to happen?! Tell me!" I demanded.
"DON'T YOU THINK IF I COULD I WOULD!" He yelled, frustration filling up his body.
"I want to know too......but I don't. I want to protect her, but I don't know from what. I just know something is going to happen, to our Serena" he whimpered.
"Why are you telling me this?"
He took in a deep breath. "Because, I need you to be strong. Not for me, but for her! Start acting like the Alpha you know you can be! Stop mooping around like a wounded puppy and start acting like a Alpha, like a wolf! You can't change what happened in the past, but you can change what happens in the present! Do you understand!"
"Yes," I replied my eyed became narrowing in determination.
"Good! Now..." He then walked over to me and grabbed my hand, placing his forehead on mine.
"...time to wake up and protect our mate."
"Huh!" I gasped as my eyes snapped open, my head was on the wooden planks that I sat on, my eyes looking up into the sky. Then I remembered what I had just happened.
"Serena!" I said as I sat up urgently. I quickly got up on my feet and began to walk to the house that was behind me. I knew she wasn't in trouble right now but I just had to make sure she was safe.
"Serena?" I asked as I opened the sliding glass door.
"Shh," Jason said as he sat on the couch with Serena's head in his lap. He was stroking her hair with one of his hands. I growled, his scent was getting all over her. I could feel my eyes turn red.
"Jason...what are you doing?" I asked in my Alpha voice. He looked at me, his vibrant green eyes threatening to change to his dark brown.
"She was waiting for you to come in and it was getting late. I didn't want her to be alone this late at night when she should be getting rest. She began to fall asleep and she didn't want to go to bed so I allowed her to sleep on my lap. I'm a Beta, it's my sworn duty to take care of my Luna when my Alpha seems to be unfit." He said in a stern tone.
"Thank you for your concern," I said, letting my anger fade away a little bit. But my eyes stayed their bright red.
"But I can now take over," I said walking over to him. I bended down, picking up Serena bridal style, I brought her to my chest tightly. Not wanting to ever let her go, I began to walk out of the room when Jason stood up and said...
"I am loyal to you Ky," I didn't turn and looked at him.
"But......I also love Serena," He admitted and I tensed up, a growl threatening to escape my throat.
"And if you hurt her Ky. I won't stop at making her mine and taking her away from you. No matter if your my Alpha or not. If you hurt her, I will make her mine," threatened.
"We'll see......mutt," I said and then I walked away. Hearing a crash as Jason punched something in rage. You just challenged the wrong person, Jason.
* Serena's P.O.V *
"I can't believe your actually making me wear this!"
"Your going to a Japanese festival, your wearing it!" Sakura yelled at me, wanting me to stop whining.
It was the last day me and the gang would stay at the villa before we had to go back to school. We would be going home tomorrow, this whole week as been nothing but fun, but it seems that there is some kind of tension between Ky and Jason and no one knows why. So for the last day we stay at the villa we all decided to go to the Japanese festival they are having in town, why they're having it? Just for the fun of it a guess and because it's a Japanese festival, Sakura is all making us wear kimonos. I have nothing against them, it's just I don't like good in one.
"What are you talking about you look great," Alice told me.
"Yeah Serena, you look great," Sakura said, agreeing with Alice.
I was wearing a white kimono that was red at the bottom of it and at the end of the sleeves. The red faded more and more as it climbed upward, the red soon turning into doves as the flew up my body. Around my torso was a thick strap of red, the doves turned white as the flew from the strap and back to red as the white back on the white kimono. The red strap tied behind me in the back as the ends of it almost touched the floor. The bottom of my sleeves were long and somewhat curly, there length went to my knees. Sakura had put on black mascara and smokey black eye shadow with red lip stick on me as she styled my hair into a Japanese bun, letting strands of my hair be loose as they framed my face.
"Beautiful, simple beautiful," Sakura said, admiring her work.
"You really out done yourself Sakura," Alice complimented as she patted Sakura on the back.
Alice was wearing a blue Kimono, as a aqua green cherry blossom tree grew up the Kimono and around her body. The strap was aqua green, the tree turned blue when it grew up it and back to green when it turned back to the blue kimono. Her sleeves were blue, the length of them stop at her wrist. Her blonde hair was in a braid and then pinned up into a fancy bun, not one hair was our of place. She wore blue eye shadow and pink lip stick.
Sakura was wearing a black Kimono, white butterflies flew from the bottom to the top of her kimono. A black strap was tied around her waist, the butterflies staying white as the flew up her body. Her sleeves went from black to white from her elbow to the end of her sleeve. The bottom of her sleeves were as long as me, but just an inch longer. Her hair was down, as a pin clipped the right side of her hair out of her face. She wore black eye shadow as her lips were a deep shade of red.
"Let's go see what the boys think, shall we?" Sakura said with a smirk and they both grab my arms, dragging me to the living room where the boys were.
"No, girls please don't do this. Plea-" too late. We were already in the living room where the boys were. Daren was sitting on the couch, wearing a plain navy green and black kimono. His V-neck showing just a little of his chest, his long sleeves covered his muscular arms. Jason was wearing a dark red and navy blue kimono, his V-neck showed a little more skin then Daren's. Jason was sitting on the couch that was in front of Daren. Ky leaned on the wall, his arms crossed as they were covered by the sleeves of his black kimono. His V-neck showed alot of his chest, when they all saw us, their mouths dropped in amazement.
"Well?" Sakura asked with a damn smirk on her face.
"You all look amazing," Jason said.
"I agree," Daren said as they both smiled.
"Why thank you," Alice said, in emphasizing the "thank you".
Alice and Sakura then sat next to Daren and Jason starting conversation as they waited for the car to arrive. I just stood by the wall, trying to hide, I don't know why I was liked this but whenever I wore a dress or did something different than what I usual wear. I become so, nervous, agitated, unconfident, I don't know why. I just do. So I leaned myself against the wall, trying to hide myself when...
"What's wrong baby?" Ky asked as he now stood in front of me, staring me up and down. When did he get here?
"N-nothing," I said looking away, feeling my cheeks get warm.
"Oh, is my baby nervous?"
"N-no!" I couldn't look at him. I didn't want him to see that I was nervous, my weakness. He then elegantly grabbed my chin, lifting it up making me look at him. My cheeks got warmer. His golden eyes danced with lust as they scanned my face up and down, a smile soon played on his addicting lips.
"Beautiful..." He spoke passionately. He then wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me into his rock hard chest. My hands were placed on his chest as his arms were tightly wrapped around me. I could feel his heart pounding at a rapid pace as it laid under my right hand. He moved his mouth to my ear, rising goose bumps as his hot breath tingled my ear.
"You look so beautiful, so very beautiful. So beautiful that I'm having trouble controlling myself from ripping all your clothes off and claiming you here and now," he whispered in a husky a seductive tone.
His words made a shiver run down my spine as I bit my lower lip. How is he so good at this, oh...that's right he's an Alpha, he's EXTRA good at this. Damn.
"Come on guys, the car is here!" Sakura called from the front door.
"Coming," Ky yelled as he grabbed my hand, squeezing it tightly. Alice, Daren, and Jason all followed behind us, ready to get in the car so we could go to the festival.
* At The Festival *
Japanese lanterns were hung over all the walk ways, lighting up the night. We all already played some games and won some. I notice that there were alot of humans and werewolves, even people who were running the booths were werewolves. But I noticed a big red tent that had a werewolf guard in front of it, I guess it was only werewolves only. For some reason this tent gave me a eary feeling, a feeling that put a lump in my throat. This tent seemed dark and suspicious, it didn't strike completely right or...safe. I didn't want to go in that tent, I didn't even want to look in that tent. So when Daren said...
"Hey let's go into that big red tent," I jumped at the chance to shut it down.
"I don't know guys, that tent gives me a bad feeling," I said.
"Oh come on, it can't be that bad. It's only for werewolves, they're people like us," Sakura said trying to convince me.
"Yeah please Serena," Alice begged.
"I don't kn-"
"Pleeeeaaaaaasssssssssseee," Alice, Daren, and Sakura all begged as they gave me big round puppy eyes.
I sighed, "fine."
"Yay!!!" They all said in unison and began to hurriedly walk to the big red tent. I walked behind him with Ky at my side.
"Are you sure you okay with this?" Ky asked, his face stricken with worry.
"Yeah, I'm fine," I responded, trying my best to reassure him. He gave me a small smile as he nodded his head slightly. His fingers soon found mine and he intertwined his fingers tightly with me, instantly making me calm.
"Don't worry Serena. I'm always here if you need me." Ky mind linked me.
"I knew Ky and I'm glad you are." His fingers squeezed my hand reassuringly.
It didn't take us long to be welcomed in by the werewolf guard and find seats, waiting for the show to begin. The seats were set in a circle around the center of the tent, it was set up like a arena, werewolves old and young started to pile in. Once the seats were full the tents entrance were closed and everything went dark. I sat in between Ky and Jason, Ky put his arms around my waist pulling me towards him as we stared into the darkness. wondering what was going to happen. Minutes passed by and then a deep dark voice came through the speakers of the tent and said...
"Welcome...my children of the night."
Then the lights came on one by one, all of them facing the center of the arena. In the center of the arena was a big grey wolf, his eyes burned blood red. An Alpha. He threw his head back and howled, everyone clapped, everyone but me and Ky. Something was wrong, terribly wrong. He then changed back into his human form, he was 23 years old, he was tall and thin. He wore black pants as his white button down shirt was tucked in, His hair was styled back out of his face, only a few strands covered the right side of his forehead. His hair was a flashy silver as his eyes were pure black, not a hint of color in them.
"Hello my lovely children. How are you all today?"
"Excellent," everyone howled, what the hell is going on here?
"Very good, some of you might already know me, but some of you are indeed new. So if you don't mind I introduce myself. My name is...Raphe." He said taking a bow. Self-centered much?
He straighten up, "My name is Raphe and I study the mythology of our race. The legends, myths, and stories that man kind and werewolves had made and saw. Then I go around the world sharing my findings with the old and new generation. But before we get to that, let's meet someone new from the crowd shall we?"
The tent roared with excitement, Raphe chuckled as he rolled up his sleeves up to his elbows.
"I'll take that as a yes, okay let's see......" Raphe looked around the audience as he pondered. His tongue making a clicking sound like a clock. "...who should we meet today?" He asked his eyes still scanning the audience and that is when his eyes landed on us.
"Hm...why don't we have you two," he said pointing to me and Alice. I didn't want to move, I didn't want to be next to him, I was about to say no when he said...
"Wait don't move, I'll just bring you done," he snapped his fingers on both of his hands and the next thing I knew, me and Alice were in the middle of the arena. Right next to Raphe, how did he...? I thought as I looked around the audience, as they roared in excitement applauding the trick he performed. I soon found Ky's eyes, he looked concerned and on edge, ready to pounce if needed to.
"Come down Ky, I'm alright......I'm alright." I saw him ease...a little.
"That was fun wasn't, let's give our two beautiful ladies another hand. Come on let me hear you howl!" Raphe said getting the audience ramped up. Then he put his hands down, settling them to silence.
"Let's meet the lovely ladies shall we," he said with a mike now in his hand. He then walked over to Alice and stand next to her.
"Let's meet you first, what is your name young lady?" He then pointed the mike to Alice to speak into it.
"Alice, Alice Granger." She said with a smile and the audience applaud.
"Now Alice what is your rank, no...wait don't tell me. Let me guess," Raphe said and then he took a deep whiff of her scent. Making Alice blush.
"Beta, right?" Raphe asked.
"Yes, I'm a Beta," she said nodding her head.
"Great, now Alice...do you mind showing us your wolf?"
"No, not at all." She said cheerfully shaking your head.
"Alright everyone give Alice a hand!" The audience did what they were told as Alice transformed into her wolf. Her grey fur glistened in the light as her silver eyes dances with mischief and fun.
"Howl for us darling!" She howled at his command. He then looked at her as Alice began to change back.
"Beautiful darling, magnificent! Thank you for your participation! Give her another round of applause!" How many times will this man make them clap?
"Now darling I'm going to send you back with your friends, while..." he looked at me, unable or unwanting to look at Alice anymore. "...I introduce your friend her," he then snapped his fingers, his eyes unwavering from me as he send Alice back to her seat. He then walked over to me slowly, I did not dare to look at him, he soon stood next to me.
"And what is your name dear?" He ask and then he pointed the mike at me. Everyone was silent.
"Serena Havenmoon," I said steadily.
"Serena, let me find out what your rank is," He sniffed my scent.
"Hm..." he took another whiff this time, he began to slowly walk behind me, getting all views of my scent.
"Your something," whiff "that I haven't smelled before," whiff "such an enchanting and intoxicating combination you have." whiff "You are a very rare specimen," whiff "even though you caught me off guard first," whiff "I still know what you are."
He now stood in front of me now, his eyes flickered with something I didn't catch.
"You my deary," he then grabbed my chin tilting my head up to get a better look at me.
"You my beauty, are a very rare combination indeed. You might be rarer than we think. You my dear are a Beta...but you also a future Luna."
The crowd gasped, could I really be the first?
