The chronicles of Jasper Monroe

Chapter 8

The man stared at Jasper with his mouth agape. “How did you know the name of the order!” His skin started to glow, and Jasper took a step back. This man before him was suspicious of him now and had some murderous intentions at that moment. Thane put his hands in the air and said, “Woah calm down Burne. The Storm Rose pack is our pack. Let him explain how he knows of them before you go jumping to conclusions.” The aura around Burne dissipated and he said, “Yes Alfa. Please forgive me for not trusting you. Tell us how you know of their existence.”

Even though he knew they were going to think he was insane he told them about the two men who came out of the mountain side. Thane surprised him by saying, “I believe what you are saying for I too have seen this strange magic before. It was roughly a century ago. I was taking out the cubs of the pack for their first transformation. When I caught a glimpse of a strange man in a robe. I saw the mountain open up and he disappeared into it. After I took the pups back to camp, I tried to find it again without any success.”

Finally, someone who could see he was not going crazy. He took his chances and said, “The man from the order I talked to said I was a member, though I have no recollection of being so. He told me that the answers I seek will come to me now that I am back to my real home. I had all but forgotten that I was a wolf and that I had a pack. I have been trying for centuries to find out who I am, and I am finally getting somewhere. We must find a member of The Order of the Supernatural at all costs!”

Thane agreed completely. “Borne take us to the people who gave you this information. Jasper and I must talk to them. Maybe they can help us understand our situation better.” Jasper, Borne, and Thane packed three bags with rations and a few supplies they might need. Depending on the information they find they may not come back that day.

Jasper went and told Sylvia what they were going to do. He knew she would want to come along and this time he was not sure he could stop her. But to his surprise she chose to stay behind. “I find their past very intriguing and I would like to know more about their history. I will stay here and help protect the pack in your absence along with Andrea. Be careful my love and get back to me as soon as possible.”

With that the three men started their journey to find the Order of The Supernatural. Jasper could feel a change in the air. It was like he knew this was the path he was supposed to be on and without direction from Borne he knew the way to go. It was a very odd feeling. It took them almost five hours to reach their destination. Borne separated from them when they reached the small mountain village. He went to collect the men who he talked to early in the day.

It was nearing sundown and the wolves inside them were scratching to come out. They had to keep their emotions in check until they left the village, so they did not change against their will. Tomorrow was the full moon and everyday it got closer to it the harder it was to control their change. Jasper was the only one it was not affecting. His theory was that he changes every ten days so the molecules in his body have had to have changed. Though he was a werewolf at the very core of himself he was also many other things.

Borne returned with one of the men from the village. This man was looking at Jasper with a terrified expression. “I am sorry sir; do you know me?” Jasper asked out of curiosity. “N-no. But I have seen a many pictures of you over the years. Mostly drawings. They call you the shapeshifter am I right?” Jasper was taken aback by the name. He guessed in a way that is what he was. Changing forms and such. Only a real shape shifter could transfer into anything whereas he did not have a choice.

“I do not know of such a name, but that does not mean I am not called it. We are looking for the order you told my brother here about. Is there any information you could give us to help us find them?” The man studied Jasper’s face before approaching him and grabbing his left arm. “Use this symbol on your arm and you will find them. By the look on your face, I can tell you do not know how or understand. Follow me I will show you what must be done!”
