Maya’s POV
Things were getting hotter in the pack and more issues were arising for Venom and at one point, I pitied him for it. I walked into Caleb’s room after knocking to check on him.
He had only arrived home a few minutes ago and was back from the battle which had taken everyone’s time.
“Is there anything that Venom needs? Maybe for me to see him?” I asked him politely, hoping I would be wanted by Venom to come help.
“No, he doesn’t want you to be in danger but he wants you to be safe and prepare for your coming battle.” He told me.
No matter how they romanticized the explanations, I knew that I could help but Venom wouldn’t just let me help and that was saddening.
I left him alone to himself and went outside to www if there was anything I could do in killing my boredom. Even Elora had left to go help and I was basically the only gifted person in the pack house who wasn’t using her powers.
I sat down on the ground in a bid to meditate, I could barely focus on anything. My mind was ravaging and I couldn’t put my thoughts in one place. I was disturbed.
“My master needs me,” I muttered. I walked about a bit, thinking of what I would do.
I was sure that I knew the location of the army and I could get them to take me to the battleground, I just had to escape the watchful eyes of the guards that had been implemented in the house.
They had been suggested by Venom who wanted to camp me inside and prevent me from doing anything he felt would be risky and affect me. I didn’t care about that thought.
I got inside and began to pack my things, I would end up leaving later at night.
Mom and dad were in, but would rarely come out because they couldn’t do anything about the battle and just like me, Venom had their duties covered and mentioned that they wouldn’t have to do so much.
I guess I was the only who was tired of it all as I packed my bags and went out again and I survey the place and I figured that they were in the dining room eating peacefully.
“How are you doing there?” Venom’s mom was the first person who saw me.
“Ohh, I’m fine, ma. Just strolling about and trying to do different things.” I tried to explain everything in vague ways to her.
“Come join us and the maids can bring a portion for you. Have you eaten? You could eat with us.” Dad suggested.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
There was no way I could have rejected them and I had to go join in with them. The time for my escape would be elongated till later when I could finally get out of the house where I was being camped.
I felt caged by everyone already.
They felt really calm, whereas I was worried by everything that was going on. A direct contrast between us. Maybe it was because I felt that I could help them and that was why I was feeling the way I felt.
The meal ended and they returned back to their rooms while I waited out for them and packed the plates we had used. I befriended the kitchen staffs through that means and they were the nicest set of people which was the most impressive thing. They were loving.
I handed them the last plates and went back inside. It was literally empty and everything that made the place lively was gone in place for war that was silently deafening.
War would l age the most happy place, a quiet desolate environment.
I walked back to the room, where I had everything prepared already. I sat by the bag and waited patiently for the time when I would be able to make my move.
I doubted they would have tried to stop me even if I went out though, but I just simply wanted to be careful with the whole thing.
The plan was simple, appear at the camp, go to the battle and join the army so I could help them win the war. That was simple. It felt like the best training possible and since it seemed like they were being overpowered, I felt like I would be a big help for them.
Time came and I got my bags out. If I only had little time to stay, I would be using the time to help and fight and that was what I did.
The guards would come in late at night so they could guard the doors, but I stayed behind in the garden and when everywhere was practically desolated, I jumped the fence after scaling it up to a certain height. I was finally free.
There would be no vehicles out to get me, but I could use my foot and chase the destination since I had memorized it from the last time. That was what I began to do.
I started the journey on foot and was running as fast as I could. I felt positive about the whole thing when I was running and it felt like I was reaching top speed which I had never reached before.
I passed by everything close to me very easily and it wasn’t so hard. It was easier on my lungs and I didn’t have to catch my breath.
Something had definitely improved in me and I was glad about it. The other wolf was taking over my body easily and the strength was being transferred into my DNA already. That was what Elora explained and that was what was in my head.
I kept running through the different paths I had memorized and I finally got to somewhere familiar. I had memorized the area and I knew exactly where I was, but something was wrong. It was unexpectedly different.
It was empty too, “where’s everyone?” I mumbled.
