Chapter 1
Welcome to my world

"Okay class, pencils down." Said Mrs. Wolfe "Pass down your quizzes, and wait till the bell rings."

It was the first quarter of the school year here at Jones high school home of the lion. For me it was great, since the interrogation with Jean that led to the wrong turn of finding Gormogon. I get a break. Though I still get tenses at night in fear they're in watch, ever since I was seventy years old (Ten year old) I get nightmares of that day. Seeing my older sister Kara die in front of my eyes, as a monster drink her blood with no shame.

"Kella." Lizzy exclaimed while waving her hand in my face. "You okay?"

I could tell she was worry for me in her blue eyes. Ever since then she'd been there for me. Including the fact, that she's a werewolf just like me. Though, she's not a pure breed of the Lykoi but a Loups-Garoux. Though, she used my human name. I admit that I don't like changing my name from Amuleta Knight to Kella McKnight, but hey that what you get for being the high alpha of the 'order of the pack' daughter.

"Yes Just tired." Were my words true though fake?

"Hell!" she exclaimed again, in soft tone so she won't be busted "If it wasn't for that curse. You be sleeping like a baby."

"Yeah" I said. It's true I'm curse. Well not curse but curse to give a hard time.

Since my curse was the moonlight shadow curse. This cause me to stay up all night on the first quarter to the second, including the worst part on full moon. God, if that witch were alive right now, I would forces her to undo this spell. Although I'm not alone since my friend Katherine has symptoms of   Insomnia that causes her do the same. However tonight, is a crescent moon meaning true sleep?

The bell rang and so on classes keep going. I really didn't give a damn, but Alice thought I should come back. On the contrary I don't mind being the second time I'll graduate. Though skipping freshmen year to sophomore year I did for a reason, I hate being called fresh-meat.  

During lunch everyone in the group sat in our assign table. Lizzy was there with her soon to be mate Kiba with Native American features but with blue eyes like her. Alice my Filipino short friend, Katherine in her colorful clothes though her ruby hair stands out, Collin flirting with Alice while Chelsea try to make him stop, and my twin brother Archie in wait for me. I got my lunch and sat next to him along with a peck on the lips.

"Man!" Kiba cried That's just sick."

"What can I say?" Archie replied grasping my hand "She's my other half."

True that my brother and I are lover, but I fear he doesn't want this kind of relationship with me. I'm just his sister except our wolf law said if born a twin of the opposite sex then they're your mate. Moreover, with the myth of twins having sex in the mother womb, though we don't believe it. Father agrees with us and said that we'll find true love that'll break the bound between us setting us free. Till then we're lovers.

Truth be told everyone in the table is a mythical being, well besides Chelsea. Since Archie, Kiba, Lizzy, and I are Lycanthropy. Katharine's a witch from the Salem clan. Alice's a slayer along with Collin except he's immortal with the Ly-curse. As the Ly-curse, gives its victims immortality, but symptom of my species.

"Did you hear?" Lizzy exclaim "about the new students?"

"How could I." I mumble "I'm Sorry for them."

Alice showed a concern face to my words. "Why do you say that?"

"Cause it's tradition to mess in with the newbie." Kiba answered with glee in the eye.

Yep. Since the Eighties new kids called 'newbie' get pick on till next quarter or less till we get new meat. I remember that happen to me two week ago as the popular girls pulled a prank on me with the water bucket trick that fell to a disaster. Another way to get off the prank list is comeback meaning war. Slushy it was last week. As all three girls, try to throw grape slushy at me at once. Though thank to my dog like sense it back fire. As I dodged they got the Vice Principle Mr. Stein slushy in the face. Conclusion two weeks of detention for them and for me off the prank list along of being sort of popular as in 'The one everyone knows.'

Suddenly my phone vibrated. Who in hell would text me at this hour. Archie and Chelsea scooted closer to hide my phone from any wondering teachers. I hide it under the table and open the message. Shock filled me and mouth open. It was from him.

        J-day will come. Be ready my pup cause you'll be mine.
                                                                                                                                 AW


I felt like my heart skipped a few beats. How? HOW? How did Adalwolf get a hold of my number? This beast who seeks a mate because of his age of a legal being, even after my rejection he's still after me. He's the reason for the scars on my faces I'm forces to where under this mask of cosmetics. Archie read the message and grasp it out of my hand going through my messages. I didn't mind because this was wrong. Shortly, he'd text someone probably father then called a group meeting at the house. Nearly everyone was a child of a mighty being.

"Agree" we all said in unison. This was totally inevitable for the group. Then I looked at Chelsea confused of what's going on for an ephemeral being, a human. I feel so ashamed for not telling about us.

"Who's A.W?" she breathed

I looked at the other and they agree it's time to tell her, that there's more than meets the eye.

Alice spoke first. "A.W Chelsea is Kella's stalker."

"More like predator" Collin added

I sigh as the bell rings signaling fifth period all though we stay in places. Chelsea got up ready to head out, till noticing us not moving. My curly dirty blonde hair friend then became elusive for what we were going to say that she immediately sat back down.

"Th- There's -s somethin you want to tell me." She stutters.

I was the only brave one to answer. "Chelsea we're goin to tell you some things that would put you in danger do you accepted?"

She nodded though she was hesitated.

"Chels. My name isn't Kella. My true name is Amuleta and I'm a Lykoi in other words werewolf." She then gasps "Understand, Archie, Lizzy, and kiba are the same of being werewolves. Though-"

Then Archie took the lead. "Our species as in Lycanthropy, been in hiding for over a hundred years. Becoming the forgotten to the –"

"Vampires" she interrupted.

"Yes!" Lizzy murmured "Also I'm a Loups-Garoux While Kiba is a Limikkin or skin walker and Kat along with Alice people had been helping us over the years."

"Witch" Katharine smile.

"Slayer" was Alice answer.

Chelsea looked at all of us till she looks back at me not buying it. Therefore I remove the leather glove on my left hand, showing my mark. The pentagram, of the werewolf. Man she's fastidious, telling us it must be a tattoo. Then Alice showed her dagger she keeps in her bag. As result, a gulp followed by a small amount of believing us. A little!

"I Know!" Kat summon her wand "I call on thee, I call on thee ISIS"

There a black cat appears on the center of the table, licking its paw. The cat was jet black as the midnight sky. It wore golden bangles on its paws and tail as an Egyptian head band was place. Isis purr then climbed on Kats shoulder. This should make our human friend believe. Which she did!

"So you five are werewolves?" she murmur and we nod "Kats a witch, and Alice a slayer."

"Correct."

"But what's Collin is he a fairy?" Chelsea teased though not a good joke

"NO!"Collin replied "BUT. I'm Immortal."I could see Collin was pissed as his brown eyes turn gold than amber. Nor does he care since he heard that joke before with his twin brother, except he's dead murder by my favorite stalker, Adalwolf.

It's been over five years since Ben death, as he tried to save me. I remember that day; Adalwolf somehow found me hunting in Scotland for the overpopulation of Stags in the highlands. As far I ran he somehow caught up to me even though he was a Lycan then a Lykoi. There he trap me near a cliff in pursuit of me, after my second rejection Adalwolf charge at me in his true wolf form in rage. Before his strike Ben shot him out of nowhere with a silver bullet. Except it was a scratch in the end Adalwolf won as Ben bellowed in pain. I could have save him, if it weren't for the moon being a new. Holding Ben in my arms trying to save him though he rejected my offer saying that death was only the beginning and a new generation was in wait. He wanted to be reincarnated and I accept.

"So?" Chelsea breathes "What now?"

"Well the Corporation to Alice's funding will find out and draft you in. Making you a slayer, though there are many optional careers to choose from making weapon to killing."I explain though it didn't help.

"But" Alice added "If the Montague brother and Ames can get you involved you could get into the Team wolf vein."

I glare at Alice for that suggestion. My team is deadly for the art of interrogation along with many others for the past decade. I don't want Chelsea being part of T&I (Torture and interrogation) since you got to act, can't be queasy from blood, not forgivable, and ECT. And I could tell Chelsea is not good at lying.

She then stared at me with in her blue eyes in hopes for my rescue. For me, I would have placed her in potion and artillery for the corporation then a killer, she's just too innocent. Nevertheless she would hate it there in labs instead of mission. For moons sake what have I done I shouldn't have told her about this but no everyone thought she should since her great grandfather was a slayer. CRAP!

"I'll see what I can do. But I can't make promises."

She let out a deep breath she was holding. On the contrary I would have done the
same thing too. Immediately I heard sneeze and no one sneezed great I wonder who it is. I took a deep breath, smelling the air for scent as well as aura. As a result I could smell the flagrant of wild flowers from the northern deserts of Arizona. I admit I know who the spy is but no one could escape from me.

"Show yourself Mecca or better yet?"I dashed over to her behind the tables on the other side of the cafeteria. After a few second I was behind her making her yelp then seconds later she was in Collins grasp. My chocolate skinned friend was dazed for my speed and transportation as a result fidgeting for freedom.

"Well, well? Looked what the pup drop in." Collin teased as I glare at him for calling me a pup.

"Let. Me. Go."She exclaimed.

"No can do. Since curiosity killed the cat."Alice murmured, along with a giggle.

There Mecca froze with worry. Of course we're not going to kill her although it's true that curiosity did kill the cat. Shortly Chelsea grasped my hand for no killing.
"Though, satisfaction brought it back." I murmured along being annoyed.

Can any of my human friends stay out of this so they don't get drafted into becoming a slayer? The boys laughed out loud to my words followed with an explanation to my friend's eavesdropping. I should have known that she'll get involve one day sooner or later.

"Welcome to the club kids."  Archie chuckled.

"Kid ? For a matter of fact I'm seventeen and you're sixteen." Mecca scold, big mistake.

Nearly, everyone laughed to her comment including me. "Mecca we're, werewolves and over a hundred years old, for me I'm a hundred and seventeen close to looking seventeen."

As a result two humans are in shock or close to having a heart attack if possible? I couldn't tell if I should be enjoying this or be a shame. Though it's quite amusing I should say so. As my human friend tried to figure out what in god's name is going on here.

"Look!" Lizzy sigh from boredom "I'm bored so Chelsea call your mom and tell her 'moon we hunt' and meet me in the parking lot. Mecca tried, something to come over to our house with Ames. Archie know what to do along with everyone else. And Kat even though I love Isis send her back."

There a puff of smoke appeared and faded with the cat. I sigh for the wonderful events that just happen. So welcome to my world friends because you're stuck in it till death saves you. And that's never going to happen because I see death every day.

                           **********************************
"Whoa so this is your car?" Mecca screamed.

"Yeah and?" My car was an Aston Martin popular in Britain including those James Bond films. What can I say I like speed or should I say style? We got in the vehicle and buckle up. There Mecca started to form a gun with her hands.

"Mecca. Mecca Bond," She quoted sounding like a man.

I blink a few times "You did not just went, Bond on me?"

We were silent for a moment till we burst out laughing, tears fill my eyes with laughter god I needed that.

"Well Then shacked it not stir," we laughed again as we drove off to my home.

"Kella?" Mecca whispered.

"Yeah?"

"Could you tell me about yourself now?"

I pause for a moment. I've been lying to her all this time and she deserves the truth. I mean a friend doesn't keep secret nor lies to her.

"Do you really want to know?" was my words. She nodded and I sigh?

"My true name is Amuleta Knight. I'm the fifth reincarnation to the first Amuleta. Though I'm her and she's me. My species Lycanthropy, race Lykoi, and I'm one hundred and seventeen years old. I was born on November 8 1893 along with my twin brother Archie. I was born here in Kittery Maine and lived here till I looked like a five year old so about thirty five years old, but come here time to time."

I pause for the moment to see her responses. She looked surprise to my word while adsorbing it all in. The car held an uncomfortable silence till we reach my home. Mecca gasped again to see it was a mansion than a house. I could agree with her, father went overboard with the wood to show the appearances of an, cabin. My home was three stories tall made out of fine maple wood and lime stone. The shutter where mahogany red, as they surrounded the windows to the foyer and sun room. The porch was all stone with an herbal garden patch for Katharine spells and potions. Including on the porch was a grey wolf starring at us with tempted eyes.

"This is your house?" Mecca gasped.

"Yep," popping the 'p'

She looked at me with wide eyes."But how could you afford it?"

"Easy" I sighed "We werewolf have our own bank throughout the world and shares a business with other companies since 1642."

We exited the car that the grey wolf growl and charged at Mecca. But I intervene as my right Hand straight out with a halt. I gave him a 'shhh', and chanted Calming word explaining that Mecca was friend not foe. He back away then ran into the forest to tell the other pack in the forest. This was going to be difficult as I turn around to see a dazes human.

"You Okay?" I asked holding a chuckle that tickled my throat.

She shook her head "Yeah but what just happen?"

I lead her to the porch sitting on the step. "That was… Garrett. My pet wolf don't worry he doesn't bite . . . much."

I laugh about my words as Mecca face showed caution for Garrett. "Though, you should be careful around him."

"Why's that?" she asked staring where Garrett left.

"He's partly blind. And once human" I said in a shallow tone.

"How?"

I took a deep breath and explained it to her "Garret was my cousin and still is. He is a mix breed of Lykoi and Garoux but he over did it traumatizing his body when my sister died. They were close for many years, except I think they were more than that. When my sister died in front of us he killed one of the vampires that hurt me and left me this scar."

I lifted my shirt to show her the three gauge scratch marks around my belly. She gasps and guided her fingers over it. From the beginning, of my left bottom rib to the top of my pelvis bone.

"For me I was sent to a hospital taking a week to heal though a months for therapy by my aunt and mother. Only Garrett had it worse the bloodsucker nearly scratch his eye out and damage to his mental mind that he can't phase back to normal. Since then he's been by my side protecting me."

"And how do you communicate?"

"Oh that's easy Werewolves can talk to canines, it's like our second tongue."

After that we head inside and as I inspected she went bazurks. As the inside of the house are wood, glass, and marble of many earthy colors. We headed toward the living room to be greeted by Kiba and Collin on the couch playing video games. We sat on other couch telling her what's going on.

I told her about my species and that we have been in war with the vampires since the dark ages. Follow by the order of the pack made out of seven council members and fourteen right and left hand made for them. Since Archie and I are my father's hand. I even added the alliances with the slayers and witches to help eliminate the bloodsuckers since the 1700's. But most of all I told her about the Lycanthropy are in hiding trying to fool the vampires that we went extinct.

"How did you do that?" she asked

"They terminated one of our species. But they disserve to die then in hell."

"Why's that?"

"Cause they were a bunch of cursed" Someone said for me out of nowhere.

I turn around to see a tall Filipino man wearing just sweat pants and cover with sweat. I could smell Mecca being nearly in heat that I cover her eyes. Collin started yelling telling the guy to put on a shirt or better yet get the hell out of here. Alice then enters wearing a pair of gym clothes cover in sweat.
"Steven you forgot your….oh" Alice paused to see to piss of boy's (more like one) one blushing girl and me with embarrassment.

"Steve as a friend put on the god damn shirt when inside my house!" I yelled. He obliges a grab the shirt Alice was holding and sat next to me. Alice follows and sat on his lap. Their scent was sickening to me by their oder that I ran outside to breath.

"You two did that on purpose!" I bellow.

"Sorry Amuleta my creator of life to give me a second chance. The woman who let me see the angel sitting on my lap in pure Heaven and jo-"

"Tumahimik!" I yelled again in Filipino to shut him up "You curse of my right arm."

I heard him chuckle follow by Alice giggle. They always laugh when I speak their homeland tongue that made me sound like a little girl. As for a fact that Steven has the Ly-curse I gave him so he wouldn't become a werewolf. But the extent amount of energy went to me giving my right arm the monster strength (than a vampires) but also swirling marks on it. That, I have to wear long glove on it or long sleeves.
For moon sakes why did I save his life again oh wait it was 1959 and he was twenty years old and I was almost ninty years old and I wanted to see the Fillapeans. Steven was my escort from the slayers as a rookie. Though he didn't learn that werewolf had… what the word should be, lethal for mating season in the spring that males get possessive in ones territory.

"Oh come on Amuleta because of you I found my soul mate" Steven reasoned.

"You think I'll let a seventy year old pedophile date my student." I replied back

"I'm not a pedophile" were his words.

Let the games begin "are too."

"Are not!"

"Too!"

"Not!"

"Too!"

"Not!"

"Too!"

"Not!"

"Are Not!" I said with a sigh shrugging my shoulders.

"Are too!" he said with pride.

"Ha so you do admit it you're a pedophile." I said in pride as I turn around to face him seeing the shock look for what he just said. While Collin and Kiba laughed, Mecca confused, and Alice trying to hold back the laughter while holding his hand. That's one point for the girl's team. I look up to see the sun begin to set in the west telling me it's time to take Mecca home. She said her goodbye and we left in an okay silences.

Once we reach her home her last word to me the good bye was "Would I survive?"

My words were "You'll get used to it."

She gulped as I drove off yelling to the top of my lungs "Welcome to my world!"
