Warrior (Shewolf)
Chapter 14: The Crysort

Renald was still thinking of Arthur's words.

"His? the girl is hers? why is he saying that? wait, don't-don't.. That girl.. her mate?"

"Oh gosh... Are there no other words? why do you keep repeating those words?"

"Not to be heard."

"Ughh if you could. We connected you remember? I'm you."

"Akhh well, all right. I'm just curious."

"Maybe that girl is the mate."

Renald. He seemed to think.

"Why? are you jealous?"

"Cem- what? of course not!" answer Renald quickly. Ted narrowed his eyes. "I'm not jealous." - Renald. "I just feel weird with him being there."

"If the girl is his mate, it's not strange. Maybe he wants to keep his mate."

"That girl isn't a kid anymore."

"I know but the girl's still in school."

"Let's know, I just feel weird. There's something with Arthur and the girl."

"Of course Ren, they're Mate!"

"Stay, I feel weird, for some reason."

"Well, you deserve to have a strange feeling, there's witch blood in your blood."

"I've said it over and over again, don't bring it up!"

"Ahh sorry.it's just that your mother is a witch and the advantages of your mother is good at fortune telling. It's possible that strange feeling was because of your witch's blood."

"Okay, maybe it's just my feeling."

"Maybe. Don't think too much. But.. Are you sure you're not jealous?"

"Shut up!"

Ted laughed amusedly.

Gyria pulled Allana after the bell rang. They ran to the back of the school. Allana looks reluctant but inevitably she follows Gyria. They were still running and going deeper into the forest. Allana started to get tired but Gyria still did not stop.

"Gyria, where are we going?" it had been the umpteenth time Allana asked but Gyria still did not answer. Once in the middle of the forest, they stopped. Gyria let go of her hand.

"Have we arrived?" allana asked with her breath still open.

"Not yet."

"Where are we actually going?"

"Crysort's Pack Moon."

"What's? why are we suddenly there?"

"Luna is dying. He said the possibility of him getting well was a little and Luna wanted to see you. So beta Beck asked me to take you there."

"Isn't your pack far enough from here?"

"Yes, that's why we have to change."

"No, we'll see my parents first."

"What's? no, no. It won't be."

"I wouldn't go anywhere without telling my parents."

"You're a member of the Crysort pack."

"You know I'm not a member of any pack and it's not about me being a pack member but about a family. My mom would've worried about me if I hadn't told her. Same or no pack, she's still my mom and dad."

"If you tell your parents, of course, your right-handed sister starts with her possessiveness to you."

"He's my brother. He was only worried about me who had just entered this world. Oh come on Gyria. I'm sure you understand my situation."

Gyria sighed.

"All right, but fast. We don't have time." Gyria walked back. Allana smile.

****

"No Allana, I disagree. You're not going there."

"Mother, luna they just want to meet."

"No Allana, they'll ask for more."

"Don't mom come from the pack there?"

"It has nothing to do with the mother of the pack there or not. I won't let it."

"Luna they just want to meet Allana. I know Allana's not on anyone's side."

Allana's mother fell silent. He thinks.

"I think it's okay, baby. They just wanted to meet." Allana's father tried to convince his wife.

"If they want to meet, why don't they come here? why Allana?"

"Allana explained, Luna they are very sick. Of course he can't come here."

"But I have a bad feeling about this."

Allana's parents fell silent again.

"Alright" said Allana's mother at last. "You can go, but I'm coming with you."

"What's? no, no. You can't come. You are not healthy! what if your pain gets worse?" allana's father protested.

"Mother's sick?" derek and Allana asked at the same time.

"No, I'm just not feeling well. Your father just exaggerated it."

"Even so, we can't risk you coming with them."

"Father is right, ma'am. I better not come."

"But mom can't let Allana go alone unattended."

"Mom, Allana is not a child anymore and after all, there is Gyria who accompanies Allana."

"Then let Derek come." Derek bargained.

"But you won't be able to get in Derek, no hewolf is allowed in.

"Then Derek can wait outside. Just meeting Luna, Allana doesn't think it'll be long."

"Just let Alice be here."

"Although Alice is here ma'am, she won't help me. You know very well how me and Alice."

Mother Allana sighed. "alright. Stay with Derek Allana and go home as soon as you're done."

Allana nodded in agreement.

It's a little far from Allana's house. Gyria and Leysha walked home. They heard Allana talking to her family.

"Why do you think Allana's mom hates our pack? isn't he part of our pack? well at least."

"I don't know Ley."

"Didn't Allana's mother choose to walk away from our pack? Who are not loyal."

"Grey.."

"What's? I'm right."

"Look at our pack now. Small and should hide from other packs. Sometimes we have to move around if we get caught. Moreover, we have a lot of packs that want our pack extinct. Who wants to survive?"

"Then why did you survive?"

"Did you forget my mother was a sworn loyal to our pack? My mom swore she'd stay with the Crysort pack. I couldn't have left her if there was my little sister."

"I'm a kara."

"Then why are you still in this pack? You could've moved on another pack."

"Let's go. Maybe it's because I'm comfortable. After all, which pack will accept me as their member? I'm a girl, I'm weak and I don't even know where my mate is. Ahh one more. I'm from Crysort's pack moon."

Gyria. Yeah, it went awry. Former Crysort members are difficult to join other packs because they consider the Crysort pack a pesky carrier, a curse carrier. Unless they have a mate that has a high status in a pack.

"Why are you quiet?"

"There's nothing. We have to prepare for tomorrow's trip."

"But the Derek came along. Don't you like him?"

"Then what can I do? If it's going to get Allana to go to Crysort, I have to take it. You heard Beta Beck say, bring Allana whatever happens."

"So you think Luna's gonna die?"

"I don't know. Maybe."

"If Luna dies, can we go to another pack? Mother too. Luna dies then the oath will be lost."

"We didn't know it was Leysha."

"That's right, then where are we going. We don't know anyone on the other pack."

Gyria was silent again. He had a lot of thoughts but he didn't know where he started.

****

Gyria is practicing fighting. He continued to swing his fist into the air.

"Stop, aren't you tired?" leysha Protest. He was tired of seeing Gyria training earlier. "And where are they? Why are they so long?!"

Gyria ignored Leysha's complaints and continued to train.

"It seems you're training too hard."

"Finally! Why so long?" Leysha stood up from her seat.

"It seems like it takes time to get dressed up" Gyria replied.

"You know I don't like to dress up" Allana said.

"Not you but him." Gyria pointed at Derek with her chin. "Your perfume even smells from here."

"We've just met and you've asked me to fight? What a strange girl."

"OK no one fights anymore. Didn't you say Crysort was far from here?" Allana.

"Half a day travels by turning into a wolf."

"What else are we waiting for?"

"Do we have to take them too?" gyria asked the three people standing behind Derek.

"Yes, sure. They'll come along. Just in case." replied Derek. "They're Gamma and omega of-"

"Yes, yeah whatever. All I need to know is if they're coming or not. I don't need to know their position or their name."

"Arogant always, do you?"

Gyria just shrugged her shoulders, no matter what. He started to tidy up his bag.

"Okay boys, the times have changed. We don't want to get there tonight."

"I know he will always rule." Derek whispered to Allana.

"Follow it, brother."

Derek and his three pack members turned into wolves. And Leysha too. Allana and Gyria.

"Okay, you guys, it's natural law to bring stuff from women." Gyria took her bag and handed it to Derek's wolf. "High your head so I can put this bag down."

Derek growled furiously. Allana just smiled amusedly.

"Ahhh sorry, sorry... My mistake's. I forgot you were Beta." Gyria turns to the wolf behind Derek. But Derek quickly pulled the bag. Gyria smiled triumphantly. He also gave Leysha's bag to another wolf.

"Your mother Allana."

"No need, I'll bring it myself."

"All right."

Allana and Gyria turned into wolves.

"It's such an expert." praised Derek to Allana.

"Exercise of course."

They started to leave. They go through the forest, sometimes the highway that is usually passed by humans. They're careful, of course. Not wanting to be caught by ordinary people.

They arrived in the afternoon. They stopped in the forest near the hills. Gyria turns into a human and goes to the bush to wear her clothes, as do Allana and Leysha.

"I'm sorry but you're waiting here" Gyria told Derek.

"But your camp is still a little inside."

"I know that, but this is your limit. You can't go in."

"Why not?" ask one of the omega.

"Because if you go in, you're dead. This is magic protection." Gyria touched something invisible and right. It looked like a shield. "Either you know it or not, but our pack has been working with witches for a long time. So the witch made this protection."

"All right, we got it."

"I'll take care of him, I promise. And if there's something, which of course I hope doesn't exist, I'll tell you right away."

"You sure you can do that?"

"I don't like you but I always keep my word."

"Alright, I trust Allana to you."

Gyria stood in front of the fence then there were some mature women coming and making a hole as big as a door in the invisible shield. Gyria, Leysha and Allana go inside. Allana looked at her sister for a moment and then walked back. They went through the forest and soon arrived at the settlement. Their houses were simple, only of wood. There is nothing special about their home. Just looks like a hut.

"Hmmm. yes."

"Not as I imagined."

"What do you imagine?"

"Uhm... The castle? The mansion? You know, like the stories in the novels about other werewolves. Uhhh! Twilight. They mix with humans, even protecting humans from vampires."

"Jeez Allana, you read too many novels and watch movies! Castles and mansions usually have a large pack. Usually small packs only have a gathering or training place. While their homes are mixed with ordinary humans." Gyria explained. "And our house is like this so that we'll be easy if we have to move."

"Why do you have to move?"

"Many other packs thought we were extinct, our packs were no more. But for those who know, they're after our pack to be destroyed. They think if our pack is a curse pack and the cause of the disaster."

"Is that true?"

"Maybe. I mean.no."

"Why don't you move the pack, like my mom."

"It's not that easy Al. No one wants to accept pack members who come from here."

"But my mother was well received."

"It's because of your father. Never mind, later the story. We're up."

In front of Allana was a house that was quite larger than the others.

"What is Luna's place?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Gyria. You've arrived." beta Melisa came to them.

"Yes beta. Where's beta Beck?"

"He's with Luna."

"Then we'll go in."

"No, there's no need. You guys rest first. Take him to the house we've prepared. Luna will meet with Allana tomorrow. It's almost dark anyway."

"Good beta."

Melisa went inside their luna's house. Gyria invites Allana to where she's staying tonight. The house was just like the others, made of wood and small. Nothing special about the house, just a little dusty.

"This house has been cleaned and tidied up even though it is still a little dusty."

"Whose house is this?"

"none. It was empty before. There are some empty houses."

"What... Someone's dead or-"

"No, no... It's not like that. It's just that houses like this are made for the witches who visit this pack."

"Is the witch evil?"

"Until I don't. They're not friendly, that's true but they're not evil. Alright, rest. We've come a long way." Gyria left the house and soon entered again with a tray of food. "It's dinner. Eat it."

"You don't eat?"

"I'll eat at home with my mom and sister. But before that I'll check on your brother and give him food."

"What's wrong with you and my brother? Why do you hate him?"

"I don't hate it, I just don't like it."

"But why?"

Gyria simply shrugged both of her shoulders.

"Eat and rest. If there's anything or need anything, tell the guard. There were a few guards standing guard around."

"okay."

"You... Not afraid to sleep alone, right?"

"Of course not. You're so ridiculous."

"Maybe you're afraid of... A ghost...."

"Good go fast. The men are starving."

Gyria laughed amusedly then immediately left Allana. Gyria carried two trays full of food. He asked the guards to open the shelter and out took the two trays to Derek and his friends who were camped not far from there.

"It." Gyria handed over the two trays.

"Ahh finally. We're starving" said one of them.

"Hey you guys. You can hunt."

"We're too tired to hunt miss."

"Well! It's so weak."

"Are you going to fight with them too?" derek asked who had just come to bring wood to make fire.

"It's none of your business."

"Of course it's my business. They're my friends."

"Yes, it's up to you. I'm in."

"How's Allana? Has he met your luna?"

"Not yet, Luna is on a break. Tomorrow they'll meet after that you can all go home."

"All right then. Thanks for the food."

Gyria simply turned around and left them.

"He's so cynical. Just this time I met a girl like that."

"me too. He never even smiled. Good thing it's not my mate. I was pounding when Derek said he'd see two more shewolves."

"me too. The other one's pretty, too, but baby's not my mate. What about you Derek?"

"Hey, don't ask him. He already has a fiancee."

"But why have a fiance if not his mate? We are werewolves, not ordinary people. Engagement like a human being doesn't apply to us if it's not mate."

"You're right. Tumben once you're smart."

"Hey, I've always been smart, you know?"

"Never heard of it."

"You-"

Thomas and Steve wrestle.

"Jeez they're like kids." commented Jose. "What do you think Derek?"

"About what?"

"Your engagement and mate."

"Why about that?" derek asked while still eating, looking unconcerned.

"What if one day your mate shows up? You know the appeal of mate is amazing because they're created for us, the only."

"Don't teach me the concept of mate. You know I understand that."

"Then?"

"I love my fiancee and that's enough for me."

"You're so stubborn."

*****

Allana's asleep. But he looked unsettled in his sleep. He looks agitated.

"Run.run... You have to run Allana..."

There was that voice in his dream. Allana's getting restless.

"Allen... Go away..."

Allana is restless but does not wake up from her sleep.

"Allen.."

"Allen... Awake."

Allana woke up from her sleep. Body's sweating.

"Hey, are you okay?"

"I. I'm good. Just a nightmare I guess."

"Drink." Gyria gave a glass of water to Allana. Allana had one glass.

"Let's go." take Gyria.

"Where to?"

"Luna wants to see you."

"Now? But this..." Allana looked at her watch. "... It's midnight."

"I don't know either. Let's hurry."

Allana rushed down from the bed and changed clothes.

Allana and Gyria, along with two other people, walked towards the luna house.

"Who are they?" Allana pointed at the two people who were following them.

"Just a guard."

"Guard? For?"

"Okay, I'm surprised too. They were following me."

"Snack."

"Yes, weird."

They arrived in front of Luna's house. There were only two guards there.

"Sorry but the meeting changed places. Not in the luna house but in the meeting room" said one of the guards.

"What's? Why wasn't I told you?"

"It's sudden."

"Huft okay. Come on Allana."

They walked back and stopped at a cave mouth.

"The meeting room is in there."

"But it's goa."

"Yes I know that. We used to have meetings there."

"But isn't your Luna sick?"

"Oh, I also confused Allana."

"You have arrived. Sorry to interrupt your sleep Allana." said Melisa who was waiting for them in front of the cave.

"That's okay."

"Let's go in." take Melisa. Allana went inside but not with Gyria. "Sorry Gyria, but you can't get in."

"What's? But why Beta? Allana's my friend."

"I know Gy, but this is Luna's order. Relax, this is just a normal meeting. Inside there's only Luna and Beck."

"All right then."

Melisa smiled and went into the cave. Gyria sighed. I don't know why the feeling wasn't good. He felt something was wrong, I don't know what it was.

"That's weird. If you only meet, why should you be in this cave? Why not at the luna house? Ordinary Luna receives a witch guest in her house. Only if they're going to do a ritual, they're going to come here. Then why meet Allana here? And why do I keep feeling bad and uneasy?"

Gyria could not take it anymore. He should check. But just as he wanted to enter, the two guards blocked him.

"I have to go in but how?"

"Please... Please..." Leysha came and looked panicked.

"What's wrong? Why are you asking for help?" ask Gyria.

"I have to meet Beta Melisa."

"Yes but why?"

"Mrs Rimple. He wants to meet Beta Melisa."

"Beta Melisa is busy, she can't be bothered." replied one of the guards.

"But Miss Rimple is dying. You know that Miss Rimple is Beta Melisa's foster mother. You'll see how angry Beta is if she can't even meet with Miss Rimple" Leysha said in a slightly threatening tone. The two guards looked at each other. "If you don't believe me, you can come with me. See itself. I need guards anyway, but I didn't see any guards from now on! Come with me, let Gyria tell Beta Melisa."

"But-but.."

"Nothing but, hurry up or Beta Melisa will be angry. You know what if I'm angry."

"Ba-okay." The guards immediately left. Leysha looked at Gyria then nodded her head.

"Thank you." whispered Gyria and went straight inside.

Leysha had actually noticed Gyria earlier. He saw Gyria's unease. Leysha grew up with Gyria so she knew very well how Gyria behaved and behaved. Seeing Gyria's unease, Lesyha knew if something was wrong, at least that's what Gyria felt. Leysha had just come from the house of the mistress of Rimple to help the doctor treat the mistress of Rimple. Leysha is one of the assistants of one of the doctors in the Crysort pack. When he returns to the pack, he will definitely help the doctors. Mrs Rimple is sick but she is not dying. Just an ordinary pain and Leysha makes it as if madam Rimple is dying. He knew he was going to get into trouble but he didn't care. He wanted to help Gyria who was considered his sister.

Leysha returns to Rimple's mistress' house while Gyria enters the cave. He walked through the cave slowly so as not to be discovered. At the end of the cave there was already a bright light. Inside the cave there is a large room. Gyria peeking. She's surprised. Allana was held by two guards. Allana was unconscious. There's beta Beck and Melisa. There were Luna as well and some witches who wore all-black clothes. Gyria realized they were having a ritual.
