  Mara Bridge

  "Mara, please don't come out until I ask you to do so. You should stay hear and protect Bella"

  "But mom, what about you and dad?"

  "You don't worry about us, we'll be ok. I promise I'll come back for the two of you later ok"

  "Mom....." My mom hurriedly went out without listening to what I wanted to say.

  I could see and feel the worry in her eyes together with some concern and desperation.

  I understood everything. I knew why my mom was worried, but there was nothing I could do help her at this time.

  I was only ten years old and am supposed to protect my little sister Bella who is also six years old till my mom returns.

  I could hear the growls and roares from the fight going on outside. The sound of wolfs tearing the throats of other wolves.

  My pack was in a great fight with some rogues for what reason I didn't know.

  I just held my sister tightly in my arms determined to protect her with all my might till my mother return to take us out of here.

  We were hidden in a secret room in the palace where no one could find us at all.

  My sister looked terrified and scared. She was clutching onto my clothes so tightly and I could feel how fast her heart was beating.

  I patted her back slightly while single her favourite lullaby for her. I was only singing for her to fall asleep not realizing when I also fell asleep.

  .......

  When I opened my eyes again, the entire place was silent. I couldn't hear the sounds of wolves fighting each other anymore

  'Why is mom not back if the fight is over?'

  My heart started beating faster at the thought of this and I quickly ran outside to see what was going on.

  Upon reaching outside, my heart sank into my stomach at scene lying in front of me.

  I saw both my mom and dad lying lifeless on the ground in their human form. The scene was too terrifying.

  My tears started falling uncontrollably on my pale cheeks. I couldn't believe the people lying lifeless in front of me were my own parents.

  I knelt down beside their bodies and started weeping bitterly.

  Am just ten years of age, who will take care of me? Who will take care of my little sister? How will we survive now without my parents.

  Where are we even going to stay now? How will my little sister get food to eat?

  With all these questions welled up in my mind, I couldn't help but cry out loudly and fiercely " NO!!!!!!"

  I was busily crying when I felt a hand tap my shoulder. I turned to see who it was and it was non other than my little sister.

  "Mara, what has happened to mom and dad?"

  She asked calmly in her cute childish voice, unaware of the tragedy that has occurred to us.

  I quickly got up and pulled her into my embrace while stroking her back gently and said " nothing has happened to mom and dad. They are just sleeping for sometime"

  "Wake them up Mara, let's go inside together"

  My little sister was still innocent and naive. I held her hand tightly and said " my dear Bella, mom and dad can't wake up now, we'll have to get them something from the forest before they can wake up "

  "Are we leaving mom and dad here alone?"

  "Yes, for now. Ok?"

  My little sister didn't say anything again and I knew she had already fallen for my trick.

  I knew there was no hope in staying in this empty palace alone and so, I carried my little sister at my back and started running through the thick forests ahead of us.

  I was only ten, so I couldn't shift and had to run in my human form.

  Justin Luane

  "Justin, let's go for hunting" my elder brother said while approaching from behind. He tapped my shoulders and said" get your bowls, we're leaving in five minutes time "

  With that he strode into the palace and got his things ready to leave for hunting.

  Ryan and I have been going for hunting together for the past five years.

  Sometimes I wish to deny his offer but I dare not.

  We're both the sons of the most powerful alpha of dark sun pack, but my father always pamper my elder brother more than me.

  My elder brother is the next alpha king to our father and I can't deny it, but the way my father cherish my elder brother more sometimes make me feel insecure.

  I got my bowl and waited for my elder brother at the gate.

  When he came out finally, we strode into the forest with some of the trusted werewolf soldiers of our pack and our betas.

  We were still young, so we hadn't shifted yet. I was thirteen years and my elder brother was fifteen years. We still had some few more years before shifting into our wolves.

  When we got deep into the forest, we splited and went each other's way.

  We normally do that when we get into the forest. After some time, then we go back and meet up at our usual place.

  I moved deeper into the forest and heard the cry of a girl from a few metres away.

  I wondered why the cry of a girl would sound in a deep forest like this. From the voice echoing, I could feel that it was a baby's cry.

  I followed the cry of the baby and moved towards that place.

  Upon reaching there, I saw a little girl about six or seven years sitting alone crying.

  My heart felt sorry for her and I couldn't restraint myself from approaching her.

  I held her up and cupped her cheeks slightly and asked " who are you? And what are you doing here all alone? "

  The girl looked at me with her big round eyes and blinked profusely. She didn't say anything and continued to cry heavily.

  I thought that perhaps she had no one and was lost in this thick forest.

  I lifted her up in my arms and was about to leave with her when I suddenly heard a loud growl tore from behind " where do you think you are taking my little sister?! "

  I turned to see the one growling and I couldn't move my eyes after the girl I caught sight with.
