Chapter 51

Amara's P.O.V

"They have arrived." Kariz said.

If I were still Klaire I would be scared of seeing them right now. But I wasn't her anymore. Even though I know part of her is still within me. But right now I am no longer Klaire. I am Amara.

I didn't answer Kariz and just turned my back on him and start walking outside.

I know that I wasn't fully awakened yet, there are still parts of me wanting to run away from here and go back to where they are. But I can't anymore not after everything. This is not something that I could just bury at the back of my head and forget about it.

"Looks like they have company." He added as we heard the footsteps of werewolves coming our way.

And soon after hundreds of werewolves appear.

"They are from the Faction." He mumbled.

We are surrounded by them then he suddenly turned his back on me and started walking away.

"Where are you going?" I ask unsure what is going on in his head.

"Well, I'm giving you your freedom to choose. " And with that, Kariz vanishes.

I stood there alone, they aren't familiar so I wasn't sure if he was lying until I caught the scent of someone familiar among them. I can't be mistaken it was really her, the she-wolf called Sarah.

A brown wolf was hiding at the back far from my reach but I know her too well. A pair of hazel eyes stared back at me. The image of her with Dwayne flashes in my head. I can feel my anger resurface just by seeing her.

They started positioning themselves, completely surrounded me, it only means that what Kariz said was true they are here for me.

They all snarled at me, growling while showing their canines at me. I let out a deep breath, trying to calm myself. I don't wanna do something that I might regret again. But right now they aren't helping at all. They all started attacking me.

"Remember you are not Klaire anymore. " Those voices again, my whole surroundings just turn completely dark.

"You are Amara."

I felt a presence hugging me from behind.

"You are not weak..." She whispered.

I am not weak I whispered to myself.

"Embrace me, Amara."

I followed everything that she was saying. Feeling the presence of my old self slowly fading...

"Now close your eyes and let me in."

I slowly close my eyes.

I opened my eyes went I felt them running forward to attack me, my reflexes are faster as I jumped up and attack the first wolf that is near me. I focused my attack right at its neck where the weak spot is located. After that, I went to other ones. This time I snap their heads off, I continue doing that until half of them was already dead.

Slowly made my way to the remaining.

I didn't notice that we are already made further to the center of the forest where the circular altar was sitting. I remember this place too well; this is where I was always tied up bleeding till I wish that death will soon visit me.

Then Sarah caught my attention. She was running to the far end of the forest.

"You can't get away from me." I said just enough for her to hear me.

I slowly made my way to her, I can see fear written in her eyes when I caught up to her. She just stood there watching me as I kill everyone with just my bare hands.

My eyes remain on her, not even blinking an eye when someone tries to attack me. All those who tried ended up dead anyway, I even notice some of them running away after witnessing everything. I was not interested in them in the first place so they could run all they want. I'll kill them later when I'm done with Sarah.

As I reach her I stop just a few feet away from her. She was glaring at me, she lashed out her anger as she pounced against me. That somehow surprised me, I did not expect her to have this kind of strength. She showed me her canines, snarling at me like she was mocking me.

I brush the dirt away from my bloody dress. I was already covered in blood anyway so why did I even care about a speck of single dirt? Now that I notice my surroundings are covered with blood.

How many of them did I kill already? I lost count of them. I shrugged my shoulders and walk to her direction. She was ready to attack once more but this time I caught her right before she landed on me again. I aim for her abdomen. Surely breaking some of her ribs.

I smile I satisfaction as I hear her cry in pain. She was gasping for air as soon as she shifted back to her human form.

"S-stop!" She pleated as I grab her hair. "Let me go you monster!"

I push her to the ground making her crouch in pain.

"Are you with Dwayne?"

She started laughing after I mention him.

"Y-you really think he will still accept you after seeing this?"

I glance around us blood only dead bodies can be seen. Like the whole place is painted in blood.

"H-he won't accept you after you killed his pack members!"

I can't help but get mad at her words. I lifted my hand wanting to snatch her tongue out of her pretty mouth. When a loud explosion erupted, making me almost my balance because of the earthquake that it created.

"Our job here is done. Now he won't believe you even if you know the truth." She mumbled then used all her strength to kick me between the cracks and shifted to her wolf to get away from her.

The cracks are getting bigger I tried to shift my weight as I felt the ground where I was standing is completely unstable it will crumble in a matter of seconds. I jump and landed to the other side. The explosion causes the Island to split into two.

She run to the other side and even if I jump from here I wouldn't be able to reach the other side.

I heard footsteps heading my way I look up and found Galaz. He didn't look surprised at how I looked. Ria and Ali followed him from behind. They all came out of nowhere.

"What are you doing here?" I ask not even looking at them.

"Woah this place looks horrible" Ria mutters ignoring my question.

"This is crazy; I will take note to not get into your bad side." Ali's uttered then started picking up some parts of the dead bodies around us and throwing them to Ria.

"Ali these is new clothes!" She complained, red stains of blood got into her top.

"We need to get going the island will soon sink." After Galaz said that another earthquake erupted.

"Just what the hell are those factions are thinking destroying their laboratories," Ria mumbled.

"Isn't that your lab?" That suddenly came out of my mouth.

Ria shakes her head then looks at me.

"That place is where they keep us before. Kariz was the one who rescued us." She answered, then turn her attention to the place where the smoke came from.

"We just return back here and killed everyone after we took you in. I'm sure that was also the reason why they send all these werewolves running here." Ali added.

Just what the hell is happening, how come we heard nothing about this? Or they didn't tell me anything about this?

"They don't deserve to live," Galaz said.

I can't see his face but I feel his hatred. He then walked towards me and offered me a handkerchief but I didn't take it. I was already covered with blood and that won't do anything.

"Where is he?" I don't need to mention his name because I'm fully aware that he knows who I'm talking about.

"Kariz was probably in the somewhere along the coast waiting."

I glance at the bodice of water surrounding us.

"We have been waiting for you all these years." Galaz added.

"You can't even be sure that you could trust me," I mutter coldly.

This newfound power of mine is too hungry for blood, the thirst of seeing someone dying is making me feel alive.

Just seeing what I have just done and not feeling anything is making me unsure of myself. I know this part of me is because I as Klaire am still not gone, I can still feel her inside me those memories that I have as she is still flashing in my head.

But all of those are all created by lies. I close my eyes trying to bury those memories away when something caught my attention.

That scent! I can't be mistaken...

The rustling of leaves followed by footsteps soon approaches us. My head snaps at the new arrivals it was really him.

I feel my heart pounding in my chest as soon as our eyes meet. A pair of Green-blue eyes stared back at me.

"Klaire..."
