Chapter 13: Darkness

{Previously: Talia saved a whole village, and part of a forest, by freezing it all over. But it had made her first shift happen the day after she woke up from a short coma. Talia shifted into a wolf, after whimpering when Jason scolded her for doing something so dangerous, and someone, or something, is now on her tail.}

Talia's Pov

I heard a roar. It wasn't like a lion's, or a bear's. It was a dragon roar. Why is there now dragons!?

A dragon, with silver scales, lands in front of me and Jason. I and my mate are still in our wolf forms, which I need to get used to having a wolf, and she really wants the author of this book to make a smut of me and Jason. Some nice smut would be fun...

The dragon grabbed me and Jason in one of its claws and flew off. Why is a dragon carrying me and Jason somewhere? I look over at Jason and see that he's in his human form, and he's wearing basketball shorts. How did he get those?!

I'm handed a large, men's t-shirt. I shift back and quickly get the shirt on, it goes to about mid-thigh. Jason puts his arm around my waist and holds me close, I blush a bit. I have no clue why all this was happening.

Once we reach a cave, the dragon lands and places us down. It's freezing up here, we're on a mountain facing the forest and pack territory. A black smoke rises up from where I and Jason just were, and the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. That can't really be smoke...

"Come on, Alphas." A guy in a black cloak says from the mouth of the cave. I and Jason turn around and go in, a small fire is lit in the center and the cave walls have a spooky glow to them.

My right-hand twitches with my fire magic and the flames of the fire grow a bit. I can feel magic from the flames before me, but that can't be right...unless this guy is a warlock or a wizard. I look up at Jason, his eyes have hardened and his jaw is clenched. Something ain't right, again.

"How do you know our rank?" Jason questions the cloaked man, stepping slightly in front of me in a protective manner.

"Do you really not remember me, Jason?" The cloaked man says, lowering his hood. "It's me, Alexander. I'm the sorcerer from your guys' world?"

"I have no idea who you are, I didn't even know that there was a sorcerer in our world. I thought the only people who have magic in our world were of royal blood, how can you be a sorcerer?" I asked, disbelief in my voice.

"I do not know how I have magic, princess, but I do know that there is a great evil coming for us all. Since you have now shifted, the evil that plagues our worlds will try to seal the fate of us all. Only a few of us can dispel this great evil, and you two are two who will take it down." Alexander replies the way he is talking is very much of the way people from my world speak when they are talking about something of grave importance.

"You speak of the Darkness, the force that was created by some witch to kill all those who can shift into a wolf and use magic. I was told this force also kills those who are close to the shifters with magic, so then my mate and pack are in trouble as well." I lean against the wall and tug on my hair a bit, glancing to Jason then focusing on the fire before us.

"That is true, but there is more to that story. The darkness was once a powerful witch's dream, a force that could kill the most powerful beings in the wolven world. Why would a witch, who loves wolves and magic, want to create a force that could kill off the most powerful of the wolves? The answer is simple: she wanted more power.

"There used to be a pack called the Royal Moon pack, which was ruled by the Wolf King and Queen. They had magic, which wasn't what the witch liked. The witch had forced her coven, her family and friends, to take their own lives for the creation of The Darkness. It was tasked with killing and destroying all wolves that possess magic.

"One after another, the Royal Moon pack fell. The King and Queen, the heirs to the throne, then the pack itself, all fell to the darkness. As time went on, everyone forgot about them, the darkness, and the coven that created it. Fate had other plans, though. You see, every hundred years, a princess, or prince, that has magic comes to this world. They live until the day of their first shift, which is a short while after they find their mate, the darkness tracks them down. Once it finds them, it sucks out their magic, souls, and lives. Leaving behind only two dead corpses on the ground. Legend tells of a young princess, which of whom possesses two opposing forces of magic, that will defeat the darkness and become Alpha Queen. The daughter the new Alpha Queen will hold a new type of power, and will be more than the next Queen." Alexander finishes, looking at me. There's a fire in his eyes, a fire much like the one before us on the cave floor, but it's wilder, fiercer, and ready for a fight.

"I'm meant to defeat The Darkness...alone?" I question, a bubble forming in my chest. I look towards Jason, his eyes full of worry and fear and love and something else. Something that scares, yet excites, me. "And our daughter is meant to be more than a queen?"

I can feel a dark force trying to find me. Trying to locate me. Trying to slowly eat away at my soul. I know it has a hold on me, it's grasp on my soul that only it's destruction can make it let go.

I make a fireball in my right hand, looking at it as it turns darker and darker. Soon it's black as coal, black as the darkest night. I place it on the ground, and the flames spread to the fire in the middle of the cave, making those flames as black like the ones I made. I look at the mouth of the cave, seeing a dark cloud of smoke coming our way. I walk to the entrance and stand in the middle of the mouth, ready to face this creature of darkness.

A few moments later, the cloud is in front of me, and a tall figure emerges from deep within. His skin as pale as mine, hair as black as the night, he's as tall as Jason and as muscular as he is. I have to say, he is quite handsome, but I know his soul is just pure black. If he even has a soul to begin with.

Jason growls at the man, Alexander glares at him, and I just look him in the eye.

"You are my next meal, little ginger?" He asks. Oh, he did NOT just call me a ginger!

"What did you call me, demon?" I question, making a ball of fire in my right hand and an icicle in my left.

"I called you a ginger, the first princess here with red hair." The man replies, smirking.

Behind my back, I combine the fireball and icicle. "I don't like being called a ginger, and I doubt you'll like what's behind my back."

"Wha--" I cut him off by stuffing the fireball-icicle thing into his stomach, his skin sizzles and smokes as it makes contact. The man shrieks and goes back into the dark cloud of smoke, and disappearing.

I look to Jason and Alexander, motioning with my hand for them to follow me. I head out the cave and down the steep slope to the forest. After a while of the three of us walking, we make it to the forest and Jason and I shift into our wolves and we all sprint to the pack house.

 We run and run, going through the meadow I was in before the fire, sprinting past the witch village that holds Natira and her coven and their protectors. Once we make it to the pack house, there are guards everywhere, and Jason and I shift back to our human forms, and so does Alexander. We are given some clothes to change into, shorts for the boys and an oversized t-shirt for me. We put on the items of clothing and head inside, then up the stairs to Jason's office. Once there, we talk about a game plan until a portal opens behind me...

[Hey everyone! I hope you all like this chapter, and you may not have to wait long for chapter 14! A friend and I are working on a crossover, and chapter 14 is the first part of it! See you all then! Byeeee!!!]
