Untamed: The Alpha

In the far distance, they could see the blazing flames of fire that turned the night sky bright, red hue painted the dark and it was safe to say that the fire would cause so much damage.

However, not only that, when the fire caught on the electric tower nearby and there was a jolt that made it turn into plumes of incandescent liquid steel, half the city turned dark.

Half of the city seemed to be under power cut, but fortunately, the apartment where Nikolai and his sister lived, didn’t get impacted.

At this point, everyone had come out to their balconies to witness what was going on there more clearly. Tension was very thick in the air as fear hung so low and gripped their hearts, forcing them to catch their breaths, as the calm night turned into a horrifying nightmare.

On the television in the living room, all the channels were broadcasting emergency news, informing all of the people that a powerful supernatural creature was located in the Fokosa city.

“...the man was a walking destruction...”

Hearing that piece of news from the news anchor, Zuri turned into the living room and looked at the television with her rigid eyes.

Destruction...

.....

The words sounded eerily familiar and Zuri could see that the camera caught a figure in the middle of the city, broadcasting it live while trying to zoom in closer, but then the camera was shut down. No one knew what happened to the cameramen.

But, when the news anchor took over again, Zuri could no longer hear what she said, as she walked away and toward the door.

“Where are you going?” Nikolai asked her and tried to stop her by blocking her way. “I know you know that guy, right? He is the one who came with you to the bar earlier today.”

Zuri felt dizzy.

Even though it was only a split second, there was no way she wouldn’t be able to recognize him. It was Chaos. His long, dark hair fluttered with the wind and the bright fire reminded Zuri of the fire that had turned the surrounding area around the frozen lake into dust, burning so many people until the air felt so dreadful.

And it was happening again.

However, the last time Zuri saw him, Chaos was still unconscious. He had no strength left in him to inflict such damage. He was drained of all his power. The very reason why Zuri was here to get Nikolai, but she couldn’t will herself to go through it...

“Take your sister away from here, go to another city and hide.” Zuri looked Nikolai dead in the eyes. She had never been so serious before. “Do not come into contact with any supernatural creatures.”

“What happened, Blue? Who is he?” Nikolai tried to touch Zuri’s shoulder, but she dodged it swiftly.

“When you see me, run. When you see that man, run. Don’t stay in this city.”

“Why? Why should I run when I see you?”

“Because the next time I see you, probably you will be dead.”

There was something wrong with Chaos and Zuri was not sure whether he would spare Nikolai’s life like before or not.

Or maybe, it was her, who would bring the danger to him.

====================

Lise hoped the door was strong enough to withstand those beasts’ brutal attacks, as she could feel it very clearly when fear crept on her skin, as the door rattled.

She looked around her, but this room was empty, there was nothing that she could use as a weapon, there was nowhere that she could hide, there was nothing and once the door was knocked down, it would be her end as well.

And from the looks of it, it wouldn’t take so long...

Lise breathed raggedly, as her eyes glued to the now shaking door. The screeching sound increased and all the attempts of the beasts out there had left many dents, which would make it easier for them to break it down.

So, this is it... this is how her life will end...

Lise closed her eyes, prepared herself for the worst and tried to not fight the pain and agony that would blanket her being when they hauled and clawed her body.

And right at that time, the door fell off its hinges and Lise could feel something come to her, locking its eyes on hers.

======================

There was an uproar when all the lights went out and darkness blanketed the shelter.

“Eros... Eros... wake up,” Emily’s small voice whispered in his ears, as she tried to shake her brother’s body. “It is so dark, I am afraid...” She was afraid of the dark, not to mention the commotion that was happening around them.

After a few attempts, Eros finally opened his eyes. He was exhausted after a long and harsh day, but immediately became alert when he took in his surroundings and realized the power outage.

“I am afraid,” Emily snuggled into his arms, while holding her Mr. Bear.

Meanwhile, Eros helped his sister to stand up and took her out of the shelter, as most of the people had started to go out as well to see what was happening.

Eros then put her little backpack on Emily’s back and took the bigger one. He slung it on his shoulder, while he took Emily’s hand and both of them walked out of the building.

Once they were outside, everything was so dark. Apparently, all the lights had gone off a few blocks down and all the transportation stopped operating as well.

That was the time when they heard a loud explosion and people started screaming in panic when they shouted at one another in warning.

“THE SUPERNATURAL CREATURES ARE HEADING THIS WAY! RUN! RUN!”

No one could wait for a second warning after they heard that.
