“l can’t shift right now or–“
“I’m not talking about your wolf.” The voice scoffed at me. “Your wolf…” The voice was now mocking me. “Is that the extent of your strength? The shallow mental existence is a pathetic power. Forget about it. Discard your wolf… and attack.”
“My wolf is part of me!” I shouted back angrily as the voice cackled at me.
“So are feces, but everyone discards their sh!t.”
“I’m not discarding my wolf.”
“Looks like your body is trying to do that for you.” The voice said in sly amusement. “But you won’t let go.”
“No, I won’t.”
“You’re killing her.”
“Discarding her is killing her!”
“No… it isn’t. But if you keep her… you will.”
“Why?!” I shouted angrily. Who the hell was this person?
“Your sheya powers won’t allow for her existence,”
“I was told–“
“You were told wrong.” The voice stated tersely.
Was it true? Was I killing Sheena? I told her not to leave me again. Was her staying with me killing her? It was true she felt weaker and weaker. But this could all be an elaborate scheme too. Like I was going to trust some stranger’s voice.
“Let your wolf go. She will go to another shifter.”
“I don’t even know who you are. Why should I believe you? What do you even know?”
It was quiet except for the sound the scorpion made as it moved its jaws back and forth. I straightened up and looked around.
“Let her go,” The voice commanded again. I stood there and defiantly stared in the darkness. “Embrace who you are.”
Sheena? Sheena?
Nothing. There was no sound from her. I wish she could tell me if what the voice was saying was true.
“I do prefer the hands-on approach.. I think the lesson sticks better.” As soon as the voice spoke these words the scorpion began to make its move again. The pattering of its feet on the crystal stone-headed my way. This time l knew it wasn’t going to kill me, but it would make me pay. It would challenge me, pushing me to my brink, trying to make me give up my wolf. And if l didn’t… l was in for more pain.
The blood splattered across the ground as a pincher cut my leg. I had enough cuts on me that I was getting numb to the pain. I don’t care what this voice was telling me to do.
I know my body was rejecting Sheena, but she would have told me if it was killing her, right? I didn’t have time to really think about anything. All l could do now was react to the incoming attacks.
I didn’t know what their motives were, but it was clear they wanted me alive. These wounds were meant to cause pain, but nothing was going to kill me. The question was why did this voice want me alive? I was told Sheyas are rare creatures that are desired for their skills. Il can only assume this is someone wanting to use me as a pawn. I wouldn’t trust the voice.
Unless I hear from Sheena or the Moon Goddess herself, I am not shedding my wolf from me. It didn’t make sense to me at all. Plus, Demetri said I could keep them both. I was going to trust him over this voice.
Tss. Tss. Tss. Tss.
The pinchers clapped by my head narrowly missing me. I jumped back as I panted looking around the room, I was being toyed with and that pissed me off. If this voice expected me to crumble, they were wrong. With every cut, I was getting angrier.
I straightened up, staring at the scorpion.
The blood trickled down my body dripping to the ground. Did she want to break me? Did she think I would give in if subjected to enough pain? I internally scoffed. I wasn’t about to cut down and surrender to the pain. Go ahead and underestimate me. I won’t bow down to this voice. I am not going to shrivel back into a corner and tremble. I was going to fight until I had nothing left and then I was going to fight more. Until I no longer had a breath in my body.
If she was trying to break me, she wouldn’t succeed. She was going to have to kill me.
The pattering of feet charged towards me. Only this time.. I didn’t dodge. I stood there staring it down. Closer. Closer. Closer. Its pinchers clapped in the air, echoing off the walls.
Tss. Tss. Tss. Tss.
I had enough. I kept my focus on the scorpion as I decided on my next move. I didn’t care how to cut up I would get. I was going to give this scorpion something to think about.
A black blur crashed into the scorpion sending it smashing into the side of the wall. The ebony water hound curled itself in front of me protectively as it snarled at the scorpion.
“Odell!” I panted looking at her body. She was dripping in water and blood. Her body had wounds that were slowly healing but were still there. But the wounds.. they didn’t look like something the hydra caused. I didn’t have time to analyze them right now though. The scorpion was back on its feet and was now focusing on Odell.
Sh.it. The monster may not plan to kill me, but Odell was different.
“Odell, get out of here! “I’ll be okay.”
Odell snorted not even looking at me. “It won’t kill me. I can’t explain but-” Odell didn’t let me finish as she charged ahead at the scorpion. Da.mn. The scorpion had a poisonous stinger that if he used on Odell could kill her.
“Now… two verse one isn’t fair… is it?” The woman’s voice echoed in the room with a sinister chuckle. “There… all better now.”
Dear gods what now…
Sisssss. Sisssss. Sissss.
I frantically searched for the new sound.
It was fast and aggressive.
Whoosh.
It landed directly across from me. It had two large obsidian eyes and six smaller eyes all staring at me. Its legs were jagged and hard crystals that held its body above us all. On its back it had numerous skulls all entangled in a web that it wore like a trophy case. Its head… was like nothing I had ever seen. It had two large fangs that protruded from an almost human like crystal skull.
