"WHAT!? That can't be! She is my Alpha! She couldn't have wanted me killed. Why? If she wanted me dead,then why did she make me her beta?" I yelled as thoughts of confusion came flooding in. "Because she needs you to help her get back to the Tribe village." Said Eva. That would make sense. She did mention the village.

"Why does she need me? Doesn't she know where it is since she is like a co-ruler of the village?" I asked. "Well,not really. When your father found out about what she did,he told the Elders and her father and she was exiled. But since they discovered how unpredictable she is,Anna and I were ordered to wipe off her memory about the location of the village. She can never go back because she doesn't know where the village is." Said Eva with a grin on her face. "Wait,who's Anna?" I asked,puzzled. "She's my twin sister. She's assigned to look after your brother and help train him where as I am assigned to look after you." She responded. "But didn't you say that you haven't seen me since I was two years old or something." I said. "Well,yes. Face to face that is. But I've been watching over you through a mind link spell I put on you when you were still in your diapers. I've pretty much lived your life. I know that you broke your first tooth falling from a tree when you were six,I know that you got your heart brutally Broken by Elizabeth Joel when you were thirteen and well I know everything about you since you were three years old. And by the way,Rebecca is unbelievably pretty,I see why you like her." She said. And with that my face was flushed in embarrassment. "Wait,Rebecca White? From your school? honey,do you have a crush on her?" Asked my mom in utter horror. "What? No Mom,that's nonsense!" I yelled defensively. "Hah,since when do you say 'nonsense'?" Countered my mom in a devious grin. "Okay ,so what happens now?" I asked Eva,ignoring my mom. "Well,the first thing we have to do is to break the Alpha-beta link before you shift into your full wolf on thursday night. Otherwise the link will be too strong to break." Said Eva. "But how do you know about when I....oh yeah the your mind link spell. Okay,so what are we waiting for? Let's break it." I said. "Well,that's the thing. The spell that can perform this needs lots of power which I don't have,but my sister,Anna,she does. She's sorta more powerful than me,which is so unfair. We have to go the village to find her and ask her to break the link." Said Naila,biting her lip in nervousness. "So we have to go back to my father's village?"

"Yes." She responded. And with that,my nerves felt a difficult weight and then a flood of anger flushed my entire body. He stopped visiting me seven years ago and this is how I have to find out about him. I'm so punching him the throat when I see him. "Okay,when do we get on the road?" I asked. "Right now." Eva responded. And with that,Eva and mom both went down stairs. "Pack light,okay?!" My mom's voice echoed. "Alright!" I yelled.

Half an hour later I packed enough clothes to last me three days which is enough time before I shift. I run downstairs to find Eva bored out of her mind watching my mother pack grenades and glocks into her suitcase. "Mom,what is up with the Mrs.Smith gun collection." I asked shocked in horror at the amount of weapons my mom was packing. "Uhm,remember when I told that I learned how to shoot because of your grandpa. Well,I lied. Your father had me trained to protect you if anything happened." Said my mom as she sharpened a slick,small dagger. So that would explain the thirteen teddy bears she won for me at the carnival shooting games. She never missed a shot. "Oh and James,did I forget to mention that your dog is cursed to killed any uninvited or supernatural creatures. I'm surprised he hasn't ripped you in two by now." Said Eva with a soft chuckle. I then recalled the fact that I hadn't seen Sammy outside the house through the window. "Uhm,where is Sammy anyway?" I asked. "He's out to hunt Naila or at least buy us some time. With her distracted,we'll leave Banewood without her following us." Said my mom,zipping up her suitcase. "Now,let's go!" Said Eva as she was the first to leave the house ,my mom followed and shortly after I came in third. We got into Eva's maroon Ford four-by-four.

A couple of minutes: later we had passed the sign say 'Welcome to Banewood.' Wow that was the first time I'd actually left Banewood. Another couple of minutes later we stopped at a grocery store for stuff for the road. I was sent to the chip and sweet section to get snacks for the road. As I walked to get the doritos,I noticed a girl with brunette hair that looked familiar,but as I looked down to her charcoal coloured chucks,I knew who she was. She was Rebecca. "Oh Shit!" I whispered. I turned around quietly to avoid her but I was sucked into an awkward moment as I heard: "James?" I turned back. "Hey,what are you doing here." I asked. Man,that was a stupid thing to ask. "I'm here to get a birthday present for my boyfriend, scott. He said all he wants for his birthday is a packet of doritos,so I guess I'll get him that." She responded. "Your boyfriend?" I asked curiously. "Yeah,Scott. I don't think you guys have met. I'll introduce you two tomorrow." Said Rebecca. Ouch. "Oh,uhm,I don't think I'm going to be at school tomorrow." I said,looking down to the ground. "Why not?" She asked. "Family matter. Listen,I gotta go ,so bye." And with that said I rushed off awkwardly not allowing a goodbye hug from her.

I got into the back seat of the car with snacks. Suddenly Eva and mom looked at me in pity. "What? She has a boyfriend,its her life." I said in a angry tone. They looked at eachother and then looked forward as if nothing had happened. I'm really beginning to hate this mind link spell Eva put on me.

We were on the road for hours and I dozed off to sleep. When I got up,I looked at the time on phone and it said it three past two in the morning. I looked to the drivers seat and at the mirror reflecting at Eva but she didn't have any eyebags. "Aren't you tired?" I asked curiously. "No. Witches don't sleep at all. I've always wondered what it felt like. You see,even in the mind link spell,I may feel what you feel but your sleep has no effect on me. Oh,how I've wondered what it would be like to rest my eyes." She responded. Guilt seemed to consume me. "Oh don't feel bad,I'm actually content with this." She said. "So when you say you feel what I feel, would you by any chance mean..." I was interrupted as she said : "Your strong feelings for Rebecca? Yes. Its kinda disturbing for me though. You know,feeling like this for a sixteen year old girl who is young enough to be my great,great,great,great,great,great granddaughter." "Oh,sorry" I said in embarrassment. "Its okay,you can't help it." She said as she looked back at me with a smile. "So witches age slowly too?" I asked. "No,we stop aging after we reach our early twenties. I look twenty five but I'm four hundred and thirty seven years old." She said smiling at her statement. "Cool. So am I also going to age slowly?" I asked excitedly. "I think that's something you and your mother will have to talk about but yes,you will age slowly." And as she said that,I was scared and astonished yet excited.

When Eva explained things,she just explained them so easily,so I decided to ask more questions? "Eva,what's a Delta?" I asked hoping she would end the curiosity that followed the question. "Oh yeah,well a Delta....Oh Shit!" And as she said,she hit the breaks immediately which woke my mom up. "Why did you stop? This is a high way!" Said mom,furiously. But Eva paid no attention to my mom's anger as she looked forward in a traumatized state. "What are you looking at?" Asked my mom as she turned her head to the direction of which Eva was looking. "Oh." And as my said that,she quickly pulled out a gun from the dashboard. Oh my word,how many guns does this woman have. I soon did as everyone did by looking forward,squinting my I eyes I finally identified what seemed to look like blood-red eyes. I accessed my wolf vision to see properly and I gasped in fear when I saw Naila's pitch black wolf snarling at us in fury.

She suddenly started to run towards us at a terrifying speed.

"James! Get Down! Now!"
