novelBE STRONG, ROSSIE
| ← Ch.0904 | Ch.0906 → |
"Find your brothers or... your father... and you will be fine, honey..." Sophie said as she shifted into her grey wolf and charged toward the beasts that had been chasing them.
"NO! MOM!" Rossie shouted out loud and was about to go after her mother but Keira held her back in time.
"No!" she said, her voice was slightly shaking when she said that, but she looked more determined than ever. And she continued speaking, "You go and hide somewhere, I..." she stumbled on her own words."I will help your mother and find you when we have dealt with those beasts."
It was a lie. Of course it was a lie. Who would believe that?
Both Sophie and Keira had never received any kind of proper training. And of course, even if they dared to fight now, it was?solely because they could rely on their beast's instinct, which wouldn't help much in this case. Only a miracle would be able to save them and make them fortunate enough to leave this battle alive.
Rossie knew that. Even Bree could sense it too...
The little girl walked toward Rossie and looked at her with her big teary eyes before she hugged her. She couldn't offer any comforting words, because she knew there were no words that could comfort you enough when you realized you was about to lose someone important to you...
Bree had felt it before. She lost the two people whom she considered as her parents with all her heart and also Chiron, the centaurs and people from the village.
Since Bree lost her parents, she stayed with them and now she grew to love them.
Meanwhile, Lana couldn't say a word. She herself didn't know what she felt or what she wanted right now. Everything seemed earthshakingly terrifying in her eyes and the way she was forced to numb her feelings made her feel like she was not herself anymore.
The Lana now was just following her four companions, she was just going wherever they were taking her. In fact, it seemed that she was just in a daze and appeared completely normal outwardly.
Unlike someone who was forced to endure this hardship; facing this cruelty and desperation. This was the way she was coping up with her feelings; she detached herself from reality.
Therefore, when she heard that Sophie and Keira would sacrifice themselves in order to give them a little bit hope to get out from this nightmare, she didn't give a proper reaction.
She just stared blankly at the grey wolf that charged toward the beasts before hearing a painful cry from Rossie. She was in a way too different zone where she felt nothing for anything and everything surrounding her.
"We will come back to look for you, " Keira said with a sense of urgency. Another lie."Be safe."
Keira held Rossie's shoulders at her arms' length and looked at her in the eyes. She hoped the way she looked at her could give some courage, which she needed too.
And then, the omega turned around and shifted into her brown wolf and dashed toward where Sophie had been surrounded by seven beasts.
"NO!" Rossie was about to go after Keira and her mother, but she felt someone holding her back and the moment she stared down, she found Bree was looking at her with big tear-filled eyes.
"Rossie, I am afraid..." her voice was trembling and her body was shaking. Bree clutched onto Rossie for her dear life.
Rossie looked at the little girl and then at Lana, who kept silent for the entire time. When Rossie looked at the water around them, she saw how the water around Lana turned into red color. It seemed, she started bleeding again.
Rossie wanted to cry and shout out loud to the world in hopes to release the pain in her heart. She wanted to wail and yell until her heart was no longer in pain about this unfairness.
Yet, she chose not to do that.
No one would come and they would all be dead within the blink of an eye, if she didn't act quickly.
Sophie and Keira would die in vain...free𝘄e𝘣nov𝒆l - 🅽🅽novel
Therefore, with one last glance at the grey and brown wolves that were fighting far from them, Rossie steeled her heart and grabbed Lana's waist, as she supported her to walk through the current of the river.
"Bree, hold Lana's hand, " Rossie said. She felt her own voice seemed very foreign now. It sounded rigid and strange, even to her own ears.
Bree moved to Lana's right side and circled her small hand around Lana's. She kept turning around her head to watch how Sophie and Keira fought against eleven beasts that kept pouncing upon the comparatively smaller wolves.
It wouldn't take much long before they succeeded in mauling the two smaller wolves...
Bree watched the gruesome scene. Her heart started beating really fast when she watched how one of the beast managed to bite down the brown wolf's neck. The whimpering sound of her wail filled this dark night.
"Bree. Don't look." Rossie glued her eyes to the other side of the river, as if that was her goal, which she must reach as soon as possible at all costs. ??Look ahead."
Bree didn't hear her, as she kept watching how the grey wolf used her hind legs to kick the beast that attacked her.
"Bree!" Rossie shouted, which startled the little girl."Look ahead!"
Only then did Bree turned around and looked toward the endless forest across the river with tears staining her cheeks, but no sound could be heard from her trembling lips.
On the other hand, the fight wouldn't last longer this time around, since Sophie could feel her body started to grow weak just after receiving a few blows.
However, the beast in her head growled loudly, urging her to stand up and don't give up. At least, she could give a few more seconds longer for her pup to be able to survive. Those few precious seconds...
Snarling and growling, Sophie pushed herself to her four limbs, despite the blood that kept flowing down from her neck and ignoring the sight of Keira's dead body, she glared angrily at the beasts that surrounded her.
In spite of the reality that it was impossible for her to beat them all, but the fact that she managed to fight longer than she could imagine, gave her a bigger relief, especially when she noticed that her daughter managed to cross the river.
Before her red eyes were eleven bloodl. u. s. t beasts, attacking her at the same time.
