Hey everyone sorry for not posting for a while but here is Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 of Rosetta Wreathe to make up for it :) xx
Chapter 2
It was dark. The small sight I had was focused on his small yellow beady werewolf eyes.
My ears were listening to the slight sobbing coming from the small girl in the
corner of the room. I knew we
moment. I wanted to check on Chloe, see if she was alright but I daren
and Dad told me to never turn my back on a dark sider. That
The slight moment that would have happened sooner or later. Carlos blinked. Just for a
millisecond, but this gave me a chance to escape and save the girl. I pounced. I felt my
body change from human to wildcat. This is what I lived for. He pounced too pushing me
back and smashing the table. I hissed and slashed my claws at him. He yelped. I had
sliced his paw right through to the bone. I pounced again. Despite his paw Carlos hadn
given up. He fought well, but being half vampire I did have an advantage against
werewolves. I lunged for his neck. My fangs sank into him for a brief second, enough to
knock him out but not kill him. He fell to the floor, unconscious but still breathing. I
fazed back and ran to the little girl.
“Come on. Hurry. We must get out of here” Chloe was reluctant to take my hand.
although I was her auntie, she did not know it
“please?!”
I must have convinced her as I felt her small warm soft palm touch mine and I ran as fast
as possible. I yanked the door open. We were in a long white corridor. Alarm bells were going off all around me and guards were following us out! We scurried up the stairs and out into the open. The light was blinding when we stepped outside but we had to keep going. I dragged Chloe along with me; she was struggling to keep up. I dashed for the trees hoping to find cover from the guards, we would have at least a few minutes to catch our breathes. I ran into the trees and dropped behind a bush pulling Chloe down with me. I held my breath. The feet of the guards came so close, inches away even, but they ran off in the other direction. Slowly I breathed out. I looked at the little girl next to me.
This was the first time I had a proper look at her, I hadn’t seen her since she was a tiny wearwolf baby. She couldn
was covered in cuts and bruises however very pretty. She had a thick full fringe and long silky black hair that almost touched her waist. Her skin was pale white and her eyes where bright green. She was breathing fast and her face looked petrified. Caroline was right, she was the spit of me but with green eyes and black hair!
Now was the time to escape off the island. I turned to see an opening that lead out to the beach. ’d been in here for a few hours and I was waiting for the ’t look. Mum ’s when the moment came. ’t ’t have been more than 7, her clothes were tattered and she “Follow me” I whispered and we slowly crawled along the floor towards the small gap in
the trees. I moved the bushes away, looked and gasped in horror. Bodies. All over the
beach and in the ocean. I couldn’
"how do you know my name?!" Chloe whispered, staring at me with a petrified look in
her sparkling green eyes
"I knew your mother" I smiled at her
"you did?! Is she ok?!" Chloe asked, the petrified look now turned hopeful.
I just started at her my eyes watering. Chloe nodded and turned away, I think she read my
eyes . . . Her mother, my half sister, was dead and we couldn’t do anything . . .
"Chloe you do trust me don’t you?" I whispered trying not to cry, she didn’t look at me
but she nodded her small head.
"I need you to close your eyes ok?! Close your eyes and take my hand and don
them until I say so do you understand?!” I was very stern with her; she nodded once more and closed her eyes. I stood her up and took her hand. She gripped tightly. I lead her across the beach, tiptoeing through the maze of bodies and not once did she open her eyes. t let Chloe see this . . . she was already traumatized enough. I turned to look at her. “Chloe, listen, I am going to get you home safe ok but to do that you have to trust me! Do you trust me?!” ’t open “You are a very brave girl you know that don’
instantly filled full of relief, Riley, Missy, Draco and Scar were all waiting for me, ready
to take flight! t you Chloe?!” I turned the corner and was “Quickly!” Shouted Missy. I picked Chloe up and ran towards them, we hopped on
Draco and he sped off.
“Can I open my eyes now?!” questioned Chloe
“Yes Chloe” I replied, Chloe opened her eyes, looked around, and then didn’t speak for
most of the way home."How are you coping?!" whispered Scar "Are you ok?!"
"I’m fine Scar" I lied through my teeth . . . I was distraught . . . My half sister had just
died . . . She was murdered! Just like my parents were. 7 years ago. By the same person, The hooded Princess. I still don’t know her true identity. But I was determined, now more than ever, to find out!
I tear ran down my face and I blinked.
"are you sure you are ok?!" asked Scar
"she was my sister Scar" I sniffled "She was my sister. and now shes dead" I looked at him "of course im not ok!". He held me in his arms. He was warm. Werewolves always are. Chloe crawled over to us.
"Sister?!" she whispered to me, I nodded "does that make you my auntie?" Chloe whispered as a small tear started to run down her face too
"it does Chloe" I whispered as she joined the hug "just call me auntie Rosetta!" I said through my tears
"auntie Rosetta" Chloe whispered as she sat on my lap and rested her head on my shoulder. Nobody talked after that. It was a quiet journey home in the sunset . . .
Chapter 3
"But I don’t want to go to school!" Moaned Chloe!
"Well I don’t want to go to work, but we all have to do things we dont want to do!" I replied, Chloe sighed as I brushed one last stroke in her long black hair. In her hair was a bright red bow wich perfectly matched her scarlet uniform!
"wow you look smart!" smiled Riely who was leaning in the door, he then looked at me "come on Rose, we better not be late!"
"Alright!" I sighed! "Come on Clo! Lets take you too school and then me and Rielly best be off"
For now, I had been assigned as Chloe’s guardian. Her father was no-where to be found and my other half sister Carmen, Caroline’s twin, was looking after their sick father in America!
After Chloe had been dropped off at school we headed towards APPOC, Agency for the Protection of People and Other Creatures. It is a secret government facility and surprisingly it is run by humans! I had been working there for 9 years now, ever since the age of 5! You might think that is ridiculous however I had been trained for this job ever since the day I was born and for creatures like us to work at that age was pretty normal!
"Your late!" snapped general Smith as me and Riely burst through the door
"so fire me!" I smirked
"if only I could!" sighed the general. He would never fire me or Rielly, or any of us for that matter. We were all too good!
Today I guessed there wasn’t going to be much fighting, although that was the most dangerous and fun part of the job, today was going to be about finding out as much as we could about ‘The Hooded Princess’ and where she was likely to strike again next!
After many hours of work we had found little however we had troops all over the world ready to signal us if they found anything suspicious! It wasn’t likely she was going to strike again soon, as the hooded princess doesn’t go for small and discreet she goes for big a tortureous! She had clearly caused the plane crash, with help of the forbidden kingdom, of course, so having another plane crash or sinking a boat or something quite so soon would be a little too dramatic even for ‘The Hooded Prinecess’
"Rosetta Wreathe, My office Now!" came Smith’s dreary voice over the speakers! I sighed and reluctantly walked into his office!
"What do you want?!" I asked rather rudely, I wasn’t in the mood, Smith was used to my moody attitude by now though so he never mentioned anything about it.
"Sit down!" said Smith rarher calmly, so that’s what I did, I walked in and sat dwn on his huge red office spinny chair! He looked at me with passionate eyes and handed me a photo. I looked at it. It was a photo of Chloe with blonde hair … oh wait … was that …. Me?! It was! It was a photo of me and Prince Jason of the shapeshifters when we were very little. Just before my parents died and before we placed him in hiding! I was 7 on the photo, he was probably about 8 as he was a little older than me, but not much.
*Flashback*
"The Hooded Princess will be after them both!" General Smith sighed, I was in a dull room full of adults, the ceiling was very high, probably so the dragons could get in. I worked with a lot of adults too! I sat on a huge black chair, hands on my knees and only my eyes came above the table, my feet barely dangling off the edge. We were in a secret staff meeting.
"I’m not surprised! I mean with their powers!" whispered Queen Annalese of the shapeshifters, they were talking about Prince Jaosn and Jasper! They were twins and had the most amazing yet frightful powers and the hooded princess wanted them. She wanted to bring the wearwolves back into power! ‘What if she killed them?’ I thought suddenly! It wouldn’t be the first time she killed someone. She killed my parents last night! A spring of guilt filled my insides ‘No! Rose! Stop it! It wasn’t your fault!’ the small voice screamed inside my head! It was though. My parents were dead. And it was all because of me! I felt a tear come to my eye but I pushed it away, I wasn’t allowed to cry or be upset…I was a proffessional and crying wasn’t part of the job! I couldn’t let the twins die! Not at a time like this!
"We should put one of them into hiding!" I suggested, fighting back the tears, all the adults turned to look at me, among them was my 23 year old half brother Chris who also happened to be a vampire!
"Why?!" aksed King David of the shapeshifters, the twins‘ father. I sighed. Adults could be so stupid sometimes "isn’t it obvious!" I said clambering onto the table "Their powers only work when there is two of them, if one of them goes into hiding, they will be no use to The Hooded Princess anymore and she’ll leave them alone. After a few months when we are sure she is gone we can take them out of hiding once more!" I suggested striding along the table. A lot of people seemed shocked that my seven year old self could suggest something so celver and practical!
"That’s why she’s our best!" smiled General Smith, leaning back in his chair, agreeing with my idea while Chris pulled me off the table and into a hug!
*Flashback End *"Jason!" I whispered as a small tear sprung to my eye, we never found him, we had placed him into an adoption home so he was safe and well looked after, when we came to collect him, he had already been adopted, we weren’t allowed any details of where he was living or anything, the adoption home didn’t have the authority to do that.
"What about him?!" I aksed.
"We think we have found him" the generals face spread into a small smile "however we need you to go to this school and see if it is him for sure before we jumped to any dramatic conclusions! Plus if it is him! He needs to be protected!"
"I’m all over it sir" I saluted as a huge grin spread across my face! Jason! I was going to see my long lost friend for the first time in seven years! I felt like a little child on Christmas morning! Jason . . .
