"What is that thing?" Ethan shook his head when he shifted back into his human's form. His vision blurred and the wounds on his body started to heal itself. The perks of being a supernatural creature.
"Troll," Hope replied, just like what Kace told her, but her eyes didn't leave the two creatures that were trying to smash and bite each other to their death. The size of the troll and his slow movement made it easy for the white beast to get a few chunks of its flesh, which was horrendous to see.
"Troll?" Ethan scrunched his nose. "They are real?" It was also hard to believe for the young werewolf, as he was too young to witness a living troll before they ceased to exist centuries ago.
"Apparently, yes," Hope said grimly.
There were many things that happened in a short amount of time. It made them hard to catch their breath and process everything to keep up with what was going on.And then now, this other strange creature was brought to them somehow.
"We really need that cloak, Hope," said Ethan while looking at the girl beside him.
"What cloak?" Hope totally forgot about the cloak that Lidya had given to her, since that cloak also had long gone.
"The cloak that Lidya gave you.She said you are not allowed to take it off no matter what." And now they could see why Lidya was very insistent for Hope to wear that cloak. "Although I don't feel there is something wrong with your scent." Ethan sniffed her, but all he could smell was only a fresh morning scent, crisp and pure.
Since Ethan wasn't Hope's mate, there was nothing special about her scent. But, how did those evil creatures keep coming just by smelling her scent? Wasn't Hope just merely a human, who fortunately mated to a lycan?
Hope knitted her brows and smelled herself, she didn't even know how she smelled like.
Brushed off the topic, Hope was bringing back the important topic. "What about the others?" She stared at the ruins of the house.Apparently the white beast managed to take the troll away from it, but not far enough for Hope and Ethan to be safe to come close.
"I am sure Lana and Ian would be fine," Ethan grimaced, the last thing he remembered was when they were inside their room, then all of a sudden there was a loud sound and the roof above their head collapsed.
That was expected, yet… "But, what about the…" Lori family? Hope bit her lips when she couldn't even finish her sentence.
What about them? It would be a miracle if they could survive from it.
Ethan lowered his eyes as he mumbled, "I don't know…"
It was not sure whether the white beast just wanted to drive away the troll from there, or he was just too tired, or maybe he was too kind to kill the creature. Whatever it was, in full strength he should be able to take the troll down by now.
"You stay here Hope, I will go and check." Ethan rose on his feet when he watched the battle had taken place near the farm, scaring the animals there.
"No, I will go with you," Hope also stood up. "I don't want to stay here alone."
"Okay, but don't come too close to the collapsed building. I don't want anything to happen to you and get myself killed by Kace for that reason." Ethan warned her.
"Alright," Hope agreed and followed him, running back to the house. And then, she stopped when Ethan raised his hand, gesturing for her to stay.
Ethan moved swiftly and easily among the debris as his figure disappeared behind the wooden blocks.
Hope shuddered when the cold wind was howling, brushing her face and body.From the distance, she could hear loud snarls and growls. Above her, the moonlight was shining brightly in the cloudless sky.
"Ethan?" Hope took a step forward because she couldn't hear anything from him for such a long moment.Or maybe he just disappeared for two minutes, but she felt like she had been standing there for hours.
"Ethan?" Hope took another step when there was no response from him. Her heart beat so fast, as many horrible images flooded her head.
Was he attacked by another creature? Or, was there something bad that happened to him?
However before her imagination grew wilder. Ethan's voice was heard from a certain place from the ruins of the house.
"Hope, come here!"
"Oh," Hope felt relieved when she heard his voice, "Right away!"
Hope had trouble climbing what had been the home of the Loris.And within two minutes, Hope could see Ethan, Ian and Lana were crouching down, circling something beneath the rubble.
"What happened?" Hope walked carefully to approach them, she could sigh in relief when she found the three people were there, safe and sound, a little bit worn out, but they were fine.
"I think the girl is still alive," Lana muttered, she put her fingers on Bree's nose and could feel her warm breath. "But, I don't think Mrs. Lori could make it."
Only then, Hope watched the position of the mother and daughter. Apparently, Mrs. Lori managed to protect her daughter, by cradling her in her arms.But as the consequences, she sacrificed her own body to bear the brunt of the collapsing building.
Hope froze for a moment upon seeing the heart-wrenching scene in front of her, before Ian's voice snapped her back.
"Hope, the three of us will lift the wooden blocks, I need you to get the girl out from there," Ian instructed.
"Oh," Hope blinked her eyes before her mind could process the instruction. "Oh, okay. I will do it." She squatted down beside Lana and upon closer look, Mrs. Lori's dreadful condition was clear for her to see.
Hope wanted to avert her gaze, but if she did so, how could she take Bree from her mother's embrace?
"In the count of three…" Ian took the lead as he grabbed a huge part of the wooden blocks that fell on Mrs. Lori's h.i.p.s while Ethan and Lana took another part of it.
Mrs. Lori's body was in a difficult position beneath the rumble, if they took the wrong steps, Bree would be in danger.
