The Secrets

Chapter 1

Kathrena sucked in air sharply. She had been asleep for a hundred years.

"Are you ok Kathrena?" asked someone standing in the dark. The figure stepped into the light. It was a young man with long black hair that was pulled into a ponytail that went down to the middle of his back and blood red eyes that glew slightly. He was in a tight black shirt that outlined his muscles really well and black jeans under shiny black and red armour. His chestplate had the symbol of a wolf howling.

Kathrena sat up slowly and looked around the room. The room was dark except for a small window in the ceiling. On the far side of the room was a door. Kathrena swung her legs off of the side of the table and stood up slowly jumping off the table. She remembered why she was asleep and who she was. She was the princess of the werewolf pack Death of the Night. Now she was to be queen.

Kathrena walked to the door and swung it open the young man following her at a respectable distance. Light flooded the room from the doorway blinding Kathrena for a second. Kathrena walked through the doorway and cheers filled the air as her new subjects saw her. She walked down a staircase, its rails were made of vines. Kathrena was in a elegant red dress that trailed slightly behind her. When Kathrena reached the bottom of the stairs the people of her pack bowed.

The man that had followed her from the room motioned for her to continue along the rock path. Kathrena continues smiling at her people. She wasn't sure if she was ready to be queen yet but she knew she had to. Her parents were dead and she was an only child.

She had been asleep because of a war between her people and the vampire clan named The Devil's Hand. Her parents, the king and queen, had put her to sleep and locked her in that room when she was 18, only telling one person where she was and he stayed hidden with her but awake.  His name was Mike and he was the man that was in the room when she woke up.They then sealed the room with their magic to keep all out and away. Kathrena and Mike would not age and in a hundred years the seal finally lost all of its power and she would wake up to become ruler of what remained of the pack and the new members of the pack.

Kathrena walked toward where her parents and her had lived and saw where her parents had been buried. she bows slightly to their graves then turns from them and continues walking. As Mike passed the graves he bows to the graves, more than she had and continues to follow Kathrena at a respectful distance. Kathrena follows the path all the way to her house and stops at the door turning back to the crowd. Mike moves to the right of her at a distance. Everyone bows including Mike. Mike then carefully picks up the crown for the queen leaving the crown for the king alone on the small soft pillow. Mike carefully and gently puts the crown on her head. When she looks back at the crowd they all cheer. She turns to the door to her house and walks inside shutting the door behind her. Mike stands right outside of the door and watches as the crowd slowly disappears as people return to their jobs and houses.

When Kathrena hears no one outside any more in a loud voice she says "Mike. Come in for a second."

Mike opens the door slowly and steps in. They both were the oldest werewolves alive at 118. Most werewolves die at the age 100. They both still looked like they were 18. Kathrena sits down on the couch and motions for him to sit next to her. Before she had to sleep they were dating in secret but now it doesn't matter. She just wanted to be with him. Mike sat down next to her and looked her in the eyes wanting the same thing that she did. Their lips touched in a kiss that they both had forgotten over the 100 years. It was full with how much she had missed him and loves him.

When Mike pulled back his cheeks were red and so was Kathrena's. Kathrena's stomach growled loudly as a hundred years of no food caught up to her. Mike laughed slightly and stood up heading to the kitchen to make her food. Kathrena followed him into the kitchen and leaned against the wall watching him as he started to cook some deer and chicken for them to eat. While the meat cooked Mike started to make some chocolate cake that he remembered Kathrena loved.
