Chapter 12
Amelia's POV
Today is the day. Today is the day everyone will be going to the war. I was starting to get worried. I
really hope everything will go according to the plan.
Everyone was in the field as they said their farewells, hoping they would be seeing their families again.
I cried seeing them. The war is going to start in awhile and they had to go.
I searched for Nathan and he was talking to Angela. Angela looked like she is going to cry anytime
now. I walked towards them. Once Nathan saw me, he pulled me in for a hug.
"Come back safe big bro." I said almost tearing up. "I will baby sis." he said pulling back. "Both of you
be safe. Both of you know what you guys have to do right?" Nathan asked as we nod our heads. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
"Good. Be safe both of you." he said smiling sadly at us. "Nathan you ready?" I heard his voice. When I
looked up, he was looking around. Nathan nodded his head and went to the front with Angela following
him.
Xavier was about to go to. With all the courage left I stopped him. "Wait." he turn around. "What?" he
asked harshly. I flinched at his tone yet said the words needed to be said.
"I know you don't like me and I understand that. But please come back safe." I said the words that I
was dying to say. He looked taken back but nodded his head and left.
"Today, we are fighting for our family, our children and pack. We will win this for our Kingdom!" Nathan
shouted as everyone cheered.
I stayed right at the back. I was observing everything. I couldn't form words. Even without realising I
formed a bond with the pack. And seeing them like this made me sad.
Soon everyone left for the war. I was hoping, Xavier would turn around once and look at me. But nope.
I sighed and got ready to do as I was told.
"Everyone come on, go to the secret room." I said ushering them inside. Everyone started to go in. The
women and children were in a separate rooms.
Angela decided to be with the women and I will be guarding the children. There were guards outside
the palace guarding.
But knowing the witches, they will use magic to get inside. After getting the children in the secret room,
I locked the door from the inside.
I made them sit and tried to calm them down. "Luna, I am scared." one of the girls told. I sat next to her
and tried to calm her.
"Don't be scared. Everything will alright." I said cooing. I decided to hum a tune that will calm them
down. And indeed it did. They start to calm down.
We sat there for few hours when I heard constant loud bangs. The children started to get scared. They
were here.
With the bangs I knew it was only minutes before they got. I went to the shelf and pushed it. It was a
secret tunnel. I quickly guided them in.
I was going to close shelf, "Luna, aren't you coming?" one of the boys asked me. I shook my head. "I
am going to hold them of. You guys follow the tunnel light."
They nodded their head. I closed the tunnel and took out the dagger that I was holding. I will not let the
witches hurt the children.
The door banged open. 3 witches came barging in looking around. "Well, well. What do we have here?
The Luna Queen." one of the witch said.
"We are going to have so much fun." she said before throwing red light balls at me. I dodged them and
ran towards them.
Using some of my combat moves, I skidded and cut on of the witches legs as blood start ooze out. The
witch let out a groan.
This seemed to surprise the other witches. They started throwing more red light balls at me. I kept
dodging and formed cuts in their body.
The witches looked weak, and the fell to the ground kneeling. "We will not lose." one of the witches
said before all of them recite some spell.
They formed one big red light and shoot it at me. I managed to dodged it as it hit the wall. But the
impact was too big that sent me flying across the room.
I fell to the ground, as darkness consuming me.
I groaned as I felt a headache. My whole body feels like I have been run over by a bulldozer. I tried to
open my eyes, as I tried to get adjusteded to the light.
"Oh my god thank goddess you are ok." Nathan exclaimed as he hugged me. I don't understand what's
going.
That's when everything that happened came to me. The war, the witches, the children. Xavier. I pulled
away from the hug.
"How are the children? Are they safe?" I asked frantically. "They are safe. Don't worry. Thanks to you."
he smiled at me. "How about the rest pack?"
"We don't have anyone dead. Just some casualties that's all." He answered. "How are you? Are you
hurt?" I asked inspecting him.
He chuckled. "I am fine. Its you we were worried about. What happened. You were lying unconscious
with blood when we came back." he asked worried.
I sighed as I start to explain. "After few hours, the witches managed to get into the palace. They found
where the kids and I were hiding and came to us.
I sent the kids into the tunnel and tried to fight of the witches to buy the kids time to escape. The tried to
take me down.
I dodged the blows and managed hurt them and weaken them, before they fall unconscious the three
of them threw one big spell at me.
I dodged it but the effect threw me against the wall and made me unconscious." I explained to him. He
looked at me as if I grew an extra head.
"How did you manage to fight them?" he exclaimed. I chuckled. "I know combat fighting." he looked at
me bewildered.
"And when were you going to tell me about this missy?" he asked crossing his arms. I smiled
sheepishly at him. "I'm sorry?" I said questioningly.
He sighed. "Mum and Dad are going to be so mad." "Oh come on. You don't have to tell them" I
whined. He glared at me as I kept my mouth shut.
"Is she awake?" Angela asked barging in. The moment she saw me, she hugged me tightly. "Thank the
lords you ok. You are not pulling anymore stunts." she scolded me just like my mum.
I just nod my head. A question popped into my head. "Is h-he alright?" I whispered. "He's fine. Just a
slight graze, but that's all." he said making me let out a slight relieve.
I stood up when Nathan stopped me. "Where are you going?" he asked scrunching his eyebrows. "To
go and check on the kids."
"They are fine." he said making me sit. "So am I" I stood up. "You have a concussion." he pointed his
finger at me.
"I'll be fine. I promise. The moment I don't feel fine, I will come back and lie down in this very bed." I
said trying to walking away. I heard him swearing, and chuckled.
"I'll follow you." Angela said catching up to me. I nodded my head. "Where are the children anyway?" I
asked as we got into the lift.
"They are in the backyard." I nodded my head. "What happen to all the witches?" I asked her the
question that was bugging me.
"They are all died. Their spell backfired themselves digging their own grave." she said rolling her eyes.
What she said was right.
We all could have lived harmoniously, but they didn't want that. I sighed thinking about their stupidity.
We got out of the lift and went to the backyard.
Upon seeing me, the kids came running to me. I squatted in front of them and checked if they were
injured. They were all fine.
"Luna, we scared something happened to you." one girl said as the rest agreed. "Nothing happened to
me." I said smiling.
"But you have a boo boo." another girl said pointing at my bandage. I smiled and said it was nothing. I
suddenly smell him.
Oh no.
