As I skillfully maneuver through the forest, silence surrounds me.As I move closer to the source, I can taste the faint scent of smoke on my tongue.My hand is put on the knife on my thigh.There is a strong rotting smell that almost makes me vomit as I get closer.As I steel myself, I begin to breathe through my mouth.That smell is not pleasant.It's filthy and has a gloomy odor.While a faint sensation of nerves touches my feet, my heart beats slowly;urging me to flee.Once I locate the smell's source, I nearly vomit.The young woman's body is lying on the ground.A cut on her head is causing her blonde waves to turn crimson.To mask the stench, a small fire that is currently dying has been started.She has lifeless skin that is almost transparent, indicating that something is missing.The evidence and the way out are the bite marks on her neck.She lost all of her blood to something.She has broken her nails and is covered in blood and mud, indicating that she could not continue the fight.Her

The Special People Chapter 62
After another hour, we walk into quite the scene. A man with a red hood attached to his leather chest armor has his arms folded, watching as the man I had spoken with earlier speak to another. The hooded man’s silver eyes are annoyed. I can just make out his charcoal colored hair. It’s familiar and always kept in his shaggy spiked way. The man from earlier has copper hair that is a bit unkempt. His grey eyes are penetrating as he glares at the other one. The other one has blonde wavy hair down to his chin. His golden eyes glitter against his tanned and muscled skin. He looks more amused than anything.“I figured I’d run into you at some point Leo,” I say as I come closer to the fully dust corpse.He nearly jumps as Wilson gives a growl, warning him to stay away. “What are you doing here?” Leo demands, nearly losing his hood as he whips his head towards me.“I’m not the one who’s encroaching on my turf,” I say as I bend down and examine the dust pile.“I wouldn’t,” The blonde man warns

I wave him off. “I’ll be fine. However, I’d keep an eye on your heir. If he went after Morgain, who we thought was the heir, he’ll go after Silas next.”Alier shakes his head. “For his safety, no one outside of his mothers, siblings, and I, knew he existed.”“I knew he existed.” I say. “Well, his name anyway.”“But not what he looked like.” Alier counters.“Please verify that no one knows him.” I say. “What do people know him as?”“A member of the royal guard.” Alier says. “He’s Leo’s subordinate, which is why he’s with Leo most of the time.”“Then I’ll keep that pretense.” I ignore the boys eyes as I turn fully to face Alier. “Since I’m unclear the direction these attacks will go now, I’ll need to resume my investigation again. It’s best I leave tonight to get a jump start on this.”Alier’s face goes straight to amused. “And miss the ball?”“A sacrifice I must make,” I say quickly, getting ready to take my leave.“Nope,” Alier says, taking my hand. “Ileen would be devastated if you l

“Isaac ,” She warns. “Humor me.” I groan while she adds on, “And don’t even think about going back into that water.” She quickly leaves the room after giving me a piercing stare. Silas is wearing a red robe, looking more uncomfortable than I am annoyed.He rubs the back of his head. “So…why isn’t Wilson going for my head this time?”“You were with Leo.” I explain, touching my slimy tail, watching it shrink. It takes longer than my arms, since my legs have grown and molded together. It’s a reaction that happens when I go into the water. Air destroys my webbing and scales, while water makes it expand.“What is it with you two?” He asks, coming to sit next to me.“Well, one, he slept with my sister while we were dating. And two, he told my parents that I was enrolling with the Guardian Committee full time.” I flip my wet hair, a little annoyed it’s only halfway dry. When you’re part fish, everything dries fast.“Why is being with the Guardian’s a bad thing?” Silas asks, looking intrigued

I tense, hoping I can finally get my answers on who he is; but force myself to appear relaxed. “Do you know what he looked like? Where he went?”She shakes her head, putting her hand on her forehead; hidden under a partial sun mask. “Oddly enough, I don’t know. I can only recall his name. It’s not common these days so it stuck in my mind.”More amnesia? “Are you sure? Do you know if he had a scar?”“Who dear?” She asks, her posture changing, appearing more as if she’s gossiping at a party instead of discussing her son’s potential murderer.“Mike ,” I say, shooting Alier a concerned look.She waves me off. “I’ve never heard that name before. Alier, where is Morgain? You promised you had news.” She pushes me out of the way, stepping closer to Alier. “Where is my son Morgain?”“Miyla, Morgain passed away.” Alier says, surprise evident in his voice.“What?” She yells, drawing attention as she starts hysterically sobbing.“Mi…” Ileen says, looking at me, unsure what to do.When more eyes a

He pours the red liquor into a thin glass. I take the flute glass as I lean in, kissing him on the cheek. “I’ll be back.” I promise him in a low, seductive voice. If they want to throw me into a room filled with horny men, then I can play this game. I’m nowhere near the only female here, but I plan to make it feel as if they wish I wasn’t even allowed in this room.The second I turn around, I see Alier and Ileen walking down the stairs, with a limping Leo and concerned looking Silas. Maybe I stomped on Leo’s foot one too many times. Nah. Alier locks eyes with mine, stopping in the middle of the stairs. He clears his throat, eye contact never breaking. The glare I’m giving him could be lethal.Alier claps his hands. “Welcome my friends, to the Solstice Masquerade Ball. It warms my heart to see so many of you that I know, and love, gathered into one room. I would also like to announce with great sadness that Prince Morgain will be unable to attend tonight. He is engaged in some other co

I give a genuine laugh, causing him to smile. “I feel the exact same way. I’d rather spend my days doing what I love, then screwing around with someone.”He grins. “In that case, do you mind if I take pleasure in your company tonight? To spare me from them,” He asks, nodding his head towards the pack of girls that haven’t even moved.“Be my guest. It’ll shield me as well.” I say as I take a sip of my drink. It’s strong and tastes of strawberries. It’s surprisingly delightful, and a little stale. I hadn’t taken a sip of it all night.“So you’re part of the Guardian Committee?” Greifi asks, trying to stir conversation.“Do you really want to start off with that question?” I ask, making him grimace.“Yeah, that was lame.” He chuckles, rubbing the back of his head.“How about we talk about you? What do you do Greifi? Where are you from?”“Lusole actually. I work on the border patrol of the Sunmoon pack. I’m their Gamma.”Sunmoon? Well they do have a lot of packs in that territory. “Nice.”
