ZEUS

CHAPTER 46

Ozai's brows were cemented together into a deep frown, "Anything."

I looked into his eyes and said, "Take care of my Lily."

***

The thoughts that were running through my mind during that conversation, the reality of what is to come...it was seared into my brain. If Lily comes out of this alive...that will be my victory.

LILY

The trees were swinging from side to side as more and more of those black creatures were climbing up and following us. My nerves were sky rocketing. One of them charged out at Eudora, she saw it coming. She hissed and snarled at the beast. It was first on top of her until she rolled around till she was the one on top. She bit into it's neck and ripped out it's throat. The scene of violence did not hinder me. It almost made me want to fight even more. 

It motivated me to keep going and to live. I need to be strong for Zeus. I need to be his strength not a liability. 

The black creatures began to get more confident and was charging forward from the trees. Jumping down, swinging out, all with the intentions of killing.

Stick close to me Lily! Zeus mind linked me. Donny appeared on the other side of me. He gave me a cheeky wolfish wink, that made me snicker. 

One of the creatures jumped out of the tree and tackled Zeus to the ground, three of them charged at Donny and I from behind us, catching us off guard. 

I was first knocked to the ground and at first I was scared, but my instinct kicked in. I'm not weak anymore. I released a deep growl and I opened my mouth wide. I extended my teeth and I sunk them deep into the flesh of the beast and ripped it off my back. I felt the blood drip into my mouth and yet I wasn't disgusted by it. It tasted good. It felt good. I liked the feeling of hurting it...and I wanted to do it again.

The beast got back up. and charged again with a roar, but that did not effect me. I charged forward also. It was very strong. It bit into my neck which caused me to howl pain. I swung my body to loosen it's grip. I wasn't here to play around. It landed on the ground and was about to get back up, I used the moment of vulnerability to strike. I sunk my teeth in it's skull and ripped off it's head. The satisfaction of killing felt like euphoria.

I saw Zeus from a bit away and I knew he saw what I did. 

We need to keep going. He mind linked. 

My eyes scanned the place and I saw all of them fighting. They were all fighting off the creatures. 

Xander, Noah, Soul and I are going to fight them off, the rest of you go! My father mind linked everybody. 

No Papa! I mind linked him, We need to stick together!

There's no time Lil! Now Go! My father mind linked me. I saw my father and uncles wolves fighting of the black metallic beasts. 

Zeus appeared by my side and pushed me with his larger wolf toward the forest. I reluctantly leave my family behind. 

I looked to my cousins wolves...I could tell they were putting a brave face on, but I could see the concern for the lives of their fathers' as well as my own. 

I push the negative thoughts and feelings aside for the time being. I can't afford to think about that right now. We need to get to the trees. 

We all sprinted hard and we finally ran past the tree line of the forest. I felt more hopefully with that finally out of the way. Now all I just have to do is not get blown up to pieces.
