Warrior (Shewolf)
Chapter 17: Help Is Coming

"Are you sure they're coming, baby?"

"Either.. I hope."

"Mom's waiting here without knowing if they're coming or not? Great!"

"We can't force them to come to Alice."

"What are they? They're just witches! Not god! They act like they're important."

Allana's mother could only sigh then shake her head. It had been two hours they had waited but the awaited had not come as well.

"Alice, aren't you supposed to look after Allana?"

"Allana's at school mom, she's studying. What can Alice do there? Standing in front of the door? He's got two friends anyway."

"Dad thought you didn't believe them both."

"indeed not. But as my mother said, because of their regrets, they will do anything to pay for it. So they're not gonna hurt him, are they? After all, it's just until school is over."

Allana's father and mother could only look at each other. Among her three children, only Alice is difficult to manage and forbid. They know, it's free to argue with Alice.

A strong wind suddenly blew. Alice who was sitting quietly on the trunk of the dead tree, started to panic and stood up.

"This them? Doesn't the witch always come if there's a strong wind?"

"Not always Alice, sit down and calm down."

"How can Alice calm down, ma'am? We're waiting for a witch!"

"What happened to the witch? Are we so different?" a voice suddenly sounded. Some people just show up among them. Allana's mother and father swiftly stood up.

"H-hey... b-how did you guys just show up? You-you're ghosts?!" screeches Alice.

"We're witches, miss, we can teleport."

"Tele-what?"

"Teleport the wolf lady." said one person younger than all the witches who came. Five witches came. Three men hit on white clothes and wore headgear while the other two, the younger ones, wore ordinary clothes.

"Wolf lady?"

"Wolf man, right?"

When Alice wanted to tell her mother again, she stopped her.

"Thank you for coming here."

"By late of course." Alice chirped. Her father touched Alice's shoulder to stop Alice from speaking. Alice who understood her father's gesture only sighed.

"We apologize for our delay and we are very sorry for it."

"Why are their words so raw?" muttered Alice. His father started to shake. "Ahh yes, yes."

"We have a little problem. The witch's problem certainly."

"No problem, we can understand. You've all come, we've been very grateful." said Alice's mother.

"Now say, what's up?" said one man who was wearing white clothes and took off his hood. "Ahh I'm sorry. Introduce, I'm Rudolf."

"I'm July." One woman also removed her headscarf.

"I'm Thomas" said one more person. "That's my son Jim." he pointed to the one who called Alice the wolf lady earlier. "And William." He pointed at one more person.

"We are the parents of-"

"We know." said a man named Rudolf. "Tell me everything. I heard there's a witch?"

"really. My son, a warrior."

"Warrior means..."

"Knight in a father pack. Alpha, beta, omega there are warriors. They're usually the best at fighting." explains Jim.

"It seems you know very well about werewolves." Alice chirped.

"We are forbidden to interfere in the affairs of each people but we continue to study them."

"My son is a warrior." continued Allana's mother. "But not the ordinary warrior."

"And he means he's stronger?"

"really. In a pack called Crysort, there's a prophecy."

"Wait a minute, Crysort? don't tell me you're from the Crysort pack." Rudolf looked surprised.

"was. My wife used to come from a pack there, but she came out and joined my pack, the Hysort pack."

"I've always been confused by the name of their pack-pack." lamented July.

"I'm no exception either." said Tom. "Ahh sorry.. continue." said Tom as they began to look at him.

"In the Crysort pack has a prediction that one day the Crysort pack will be destroyed and divided. And if that happens, there will be one warrior who will be born. Warriors that have the power equivalent to alpha and beta, which will be able to unite the Crysort pack again."

"Well, isn't that great. Pack Crysort is extinct, no, at least that's what everyone thinks. Your son can put the pack together again,"

"But there's another problem. There's one more prophecy."

"Is the prophecy bad?" ask July.

"May say so. That said, the luna that led the Crysort pack was the last luna."

"Oh no.." July looked at pity.

"Wait, I'm confused. I'm sorry. I'm not used to dealing with werewolves. You said the Crysort pack went extinct? ruined?"

"There's still Tom left, I'll explain later. Continue madam. What does the prophecy about luna have to do with the warrior?"

"Yes, they believe if they heal their luna, they will put the pack together again. So they did it."

"They've healed their luna?" asked Rudolf in welcome nods from Allana's mother. "I'm sorry but I don't think this has anything to do with witches. We are not allowed to intervene in other people's problems. That's the stipulation. You must solve the problems of your own people."

"You don't understand! it's all about witches, too. Psythic Witches. You know how to pack Crysort. Pack Crysort has always been in contact with witches, especially the Psythic witch."

"But we've pulled all forms of magic and witches out of the pack because of the carnage that their luna did to the witches."

"And they had another witch and this time the witches helped luna take my son's wolf soul!"

"Calm down baby." Allana's dad tried to calm down.

"Did the witch Psythic give you a warning in advance?" ask July. Allana's mother fell silent. "From your reaction, it looks like they've warned you."

"You are a woman. Imagine if someone asked you to kill your own unborn and innocent child. Are you gonna do it?" mother Allana stared hard. He knows the decision to keep Allana is not wrong.

"Then accept the consequences of all the decisions you make." - Rudolf.

"So... You're not gonna do anything to help us?"

"Already Alice guessed ma'am, they wouldn't help." Alice stared cynically.

"At least hide my son. Please, hide him. Maybe in the city of Disprea?"

"He will die before he enters the city. Not just anyone can get in."

"Or maybe the chosen one can help? Anyone, just as long as you can help Allana. I beg you."

"I'm sorry we. Many pack regions are quite strong. Maybe it can help you."

"But-"

"It's mom, they won't help."

Mother Allana sighed. Some of her tears fell.

"Good bye."

One by one the witches left the Allana family and returned to Disprea.

"Rudolf, isn't that excessive? They need our help."

"No Tom, I'm right. We can't help them. They have to solve their own problems, their own people."

"But Tom was right. They need our help. Isn't that your purpose for taking me? Checking the prophecy is because I'm a Psythic witch. Don't we? I would do the same thing as that woman if I were her. I'm not going to sacrifice my son no matter what. And they've taken the risk to contact us and work with us. What's wrong with us helping him?" July supported Tom's idea. Tom quickly agreed.

"You said the Elder had pulled all forms of magic and magicians from the pack. We can check if the pack has a witch and if it's true and dangerous, we can follow up. Because of the witch's interference, we can intervene as well."

Rudolf was silent. He looked straight ahead. The blonde hair was a bit long at letting it fall apart. There is that desire, that desire to help. But what happened in the past, the slaughter of the witch, again glistened clearly in his mind.

"What bad? That prophecy?" Rudolf looked at July.

"I saw it. It is true that he was the last luna of Brea descent and it is true, the boy was the pack-feder was back. But luna's way was wrong. Not taking the wolf boy's soul."

"You mean... They've committed a breach?"

"Looks like. Absolute transgression on their people."

"And we can't interfere with that, can we? It's a werewolf."

"But we can take care of Rudolf's witch. If there is a witch."

"Tom's right. So how? I know the Whites are in pretty complicated trouble, but we can't allow that. Are we gonna talk about this to Damian?"

"Alright, we will ask for another Elder's advice and decide directly with another Elder. But if they decide not to help them, we'd better just stick to it. Our situation is not good and not bad."

"We agree." replied Tom and July simultaneously.

"You go first to the Elder's office. I'm gonna have Jim and Will find a place to hide the kid. At least that's what we can do for them right now."

Rudolf and July nodded then immediately left Tom with Jim and Will.

"You two go back to the forest and look for the wolves. Tell him we'll find a place to protect the boy soon."

"Dad knows where it is?"

"Dad still thinks about him Jim. Can you help me find that place? Better pack a werewolf. If in other races, they will be considered interfering in the affairs of other races. Find a powerful pack and work with witches."

"We'll try to do it for you."

"good. I'm waiting to hear from you and be careful, lest anyone know you're helping them."

Jim and Will nodded and immediately teleported again to the forest. But they didn't find anyone. Allana's parents have left from there.

"So how's Jim? We're going to his house?"

"Sure, that's the only way."

"Well then. Come on, after that, we'll find the pack. I'm not sure we'll get the pack in no time."

******'

"Is that true?" allana's mother stood up and stared in disbelief. Jim and Will are at Allana's house.

"Really madam. The Elders will hold a meeting about that. They will decide what to do. Sure, we'll check if there's any witch involvement" Jim explained.

"And we'll also try to find the pack to hide" Will added.

"Pack's? Why should pack? Can't it be in one of your magic cities?"

"Sorry madam, I can't. If we do that, they'll say we meddle in your people's affairs and it won't do us any good."

"What made you change your mind?" Alice looked suspiciously.

"Alice.."

"Alice just asked mom. They look suspicious."

"I'm sorry about what happened in the forest. The whites are in a slightly unpleasant situation."

"We'll both be back once we find the pack for your son. We need at least a few days."

"Don't take too long. Allana's limit is only until the full moon."

"Thank you, thank you so much." Allana's eyes started to tear up.

"We haven't even done anything yet."

"But you guys have agreed to help hide Allana. Give my thanks to the Elders."

"We will tell you. Excuse me."

Will and Jim teleport away.

"At least I can calm down a bit." muttered Allana's mother then sat on the sofa.

"But ma'am, why involve the witches? We could've fought the Crysort pack and hid Allana ourselves."

"Can't be Alice. If the whites are involved, they can help get rid of the witches who are on the side of Chloe's luna. If those witches are gone, we can more easily attack the Crysort pack. And the whites can only help others if there are other witches involved, otherwise they will not help. It is the absolute law of the white people. And with their help, we can quickly and easily move Allana and ask for their help to get rid of Allana's smell so that luna Chloe can't smell it."

"Are you sure you're gonna make it?"

"Mother please."

"Alright, Alice must return to Allana's school to pick her up. The huft! it's a hassle."

Alice took the keys to her car and left.

"Hopefully things will go well."

"I hope so too." muttered Allana's mother softly. He really hopes he's not too late to save Allana.

Dysprea

Jim walked faster than usual. He went through hallway by hallway. His steps can hardly be followed by Will whose difficulty aligns his steps. Even he occasionally tripped over his own robe.

"Can you slow down a little? I'm tired of chasing you."

"Don't I tell you to wait for me outside?"

"I can't just wait outside and after all shouldn't we be looking for a pack? Why go back to Elder's office?"

"That's what I'm doing, Will, looking for a pack."

"here?" Will grabs Jim's arm to stop him. Jim stopped his steps and looked at Will.

"Yes Will, here. Just come along."

Jim walked back to leave Will still dumb.

"here? But... Where's where?" Will started to mutter to himself. "Hey, wait for me."

Will ran after Jim. Jim suddenly stopped in front of a room and knocked on the door.

"Get in." said the person who was in the room. Jim turned the knob but as he was about to open it, Will held it back.

"Whose room is this?" whispered Will. Jim rolled his eyeballs and went into the room. The room was warm when we entered. The fire in the fireplace was beautifully lit. Suitable for winter as it is now.

"Jim?" one person said when they saw who had entered the room.

"Hi sis." said Jim casually then sat down on one of the sofas there. "Come Will. What are you doing standing there?"

Will who was still dumbfounded at the door began to wake up. He shook his head quickly then immediately walked over and sat down next to Jim.

"He's my sister, Gina." Jim introduced the girl who was already sitting in front of them.

"Your brother is a friend of the chosen one?"

"I don't have a sister besides Gina Will."

"Ahh right." Will looks nervous.

"This is my friend William. I think I told you about it."

"Yes, I remember it. Your best friend was on duty in the ordinary human world, right?"

"You're telling me?!" will's half-screaming question made Gina surprised. Jim rubbed his ears buzzing from Will's voice.

"Yes Will, my God, you're screaming right in my ear."

"W-why.. Sorry." Will smiled awkwardly.

"So, what's the matter here? There's no way you're visiting me, is it, brother? Not like you."

"Well.you're my sister, of course I'm visiting you."

Gina narrowed her eyes, stating that her brother was not telling her the truth.

"What's? I'm right." Jim insisted. Gina crossed both her hands in front of her chest and naturally, still narrowed her eyes. "Huft, it's hard to convince you. All right, I visited you and asked for your help."

"And that's much better."

"Akkhh Sist's.. Can't you just trust me if I, kindly say, if I visit you?"

"Because of my dear brother, I know you won't do that because you always don't have time."

"Hey, hey.. Why be me? You, my beloved sist, who have no time for me. You always go with the chosen one rather than with your own brother." Jim protested. "And where is he? The chosen?"

"Together the old Elder. We're still trying to solve the problem."

"Then why are you here? Shouldn't you be accompanying her?"

"There's something I need to do here. So, my annoying sister, tell me, what kind of help is that?"

"Tell me the wolf pack you think is strong and safe."

"Pack's? A wolf?" reset Gina. He felt wronged but Jim quickly nodded. "Why is big brother asking about the pack with me? I'm a witch, just like you, not a werewolf."

"I know that. But didn't you just help the werewolves with Bian and Kate and, of course, that jerk James?"

"Ahh well and brother assume I know a pack-pack of werewolves?"

"Maybe know a little or maybe you can give me some advice."

"I don't know brother. Just a few packs I know. What's brother looking for a pack for?"

"I, Will and a few old Elders, including the father of course, are helping, no, trying to help the werewolf."

"Elder helps the wolf? Is there a witch involved?"

"Possibility." Gina showed her expression. "We're still figuring out Gina."

"Ohh okay, what's wrong with this pack?"

"There's a prophecy in that pack. Well, I don't know how to explain it. They have a prophecy that says there's a warrior who will put their pack together again.. Uhmm..."

"Their pack is destroyed. More precisely on the verge of collapse." Will continued quickly.

"Rights. You just explain Will."

"That "pack can only be put back together by that warrior. At least that's what the prophecy says."

"Then does the warrior already exist?"

"This is the problem." Will began to become enthusiastic about storytelling. "They have another prophecy that says that their luna is now the last luna. Ohhh! They pack a werewolf woman by the way. It's all women! So maybe they think by saving their luna, they'll save their pack. I'm not Jim?"

Jim just raised both hands.

"Then they-"

"Anyway.." Jim cut out Will's words. "It's best at the point."

"But you asked me to tell you a story."

"Well you're right but what matters is that we don't have time anyway, do we?"

"That-that's..."

"Lookin Gina. They use the warrior to heal their luna by taking the soul of his wolf, with the help of a witch of course. Which means he won't be a werewolf anymore. His mother said the luna had not taken the wolf's soul completely so it was certain they would return to perform what they called rituals. We need a pack to hide the warrior from the luna. We can't hide it here or in another witch city. We don't want to be seen as interfering with other peoples' affairs."

"So you need a wolf pack."

"True sist. The safe and strong are better. Her mother said luna was very strong now."

"Hm... I don't know much about the packs, but if it's strongest, it's definitely the pack where the king of Lycanthrope is."

"Who did you help that time?"

"Yes, he. Kei."

"Would he accept that warrior?"

"Okay, I don't know. Maybe we can, if we tell him what happened. But I'm not sure it would be good to tell their pack problem on another pack."

"He's the king of all alphas, of course he can interfere in their affairs."

"Come on, brother, but I'll try to talk to him. But I'll talk to Bian first."

"Alright sist. I'm waiting to hear from you. I hope soon."

"I'll try."

Jim stood up and hugged Gina.

"Thank you, my sister. You can count on."

"What is a compliment?"

"Of course." Jim pinched Gina's forehead.

"Aww!!"

"You're this. I'll go first."

"Be careful."

"certain."

"See you, Miss Gina." said Will with a charming smile.

"A-a.. Yeah, see you." said Gina awkwardly.

Jim looked at Will.

"If you dare to tease my sister, you die in my hands." Jim threatened with a sharp look. Will walked out of the room immediately.

"If you keep acting that way to all the men near me, I'll be a spinster!" Gina pouty.

"It doesn't have to be him either, does it?"

"Give up, go there!" Gina pushes Jim's body out.

"H-hey, wait a minute, wait." Jim turned his body. "The name of the pack you suggested?"

"I still have to cut-out"

"Yes, yeah I know. But her name?"

"Lycort. Lykort Pack. There!"

Gina closed the door to her room.

"Lycort. I'd better tell them."

Jim turned his body and started walking. At least he had hope of hiding Allana.
