Prophecy Of Doom
Chapter 9:

In the woods a pack of wolves

Vico: “There’s no one in the east.”

Simon: “We found nothing except dead bodies.”

Basilio: “North border clear.”

In Ryan’s head: It’s time for the proper introductions. (Ryan’s mansion bar area room). Renato, his wolf Basilio. He trains the newly recruited wolves. He’s a loyal, true loyal fighting machine, proud, inexorable and unforgiving. He kills and can get killed for his alpha. Luca, his wolf Vico. The omega or third in command. Don’t let his personality fool you, he’s not a man to be messed with. He's a wolf but he fights like a lion, fiercely and bravely. Always goes for the enemy’s head. Walter, his wolf Yaacov. Beta or second and command. He’s one of the wisest wolves and comes up with the best solution. If you wanna get the truth out of someone, he’s your man. Nothing’s more important to him than his pack and family. Lastly, me, Ryan Diavolo, my wolf Azrael. People believe I belong to the ancient Guardian werewolves bloodline. Godlike terrifying yet pacifist but I can also be ruthless, murderous, brutal to my enemies. Terrifyingly strong and kills my opponent with brute force while in my human form. In my wolf form I’m more powerful, becoming a nightmare to all other creatures. My wolf can crush metals, rip tanks as if they were paper and can rip humans, vampires, witches and werewolves with perfect ease. I possess godlike strength, speed, stamina, flexibility, reflexes, healing factor and agility. For humans I’m a rich and powerful guy who runs many legal and illegal businesses with my close associates. People respect me for my good deeds but in the world of darkness we’re all creatures from books and fairy tales are in the flesh. We’re known as the Bloodwalker pack. The strongest pack in the world. The wolves of this pack live much longer than any regular wolf, possesses strength, speed, and census higher than normal rules. Feared by all and respected by many. We tried to find her, left no stone unturned, searched everywhere we could but nothing. We found nothing, no trace of her anywhere. It doesn’t make sense. There’s no way she could’ve left this city so quickly. We all were in our wolf forms, faster than any vehicle but still we failed to track her. When she enters a room the whole room gets filled with her scent, her ambrosial heavenly scent but when we tried remembering the scent of hers to track her down our wolves couldn’t remember it. It’s more pathetic than it sounds. Even Azrael doesn’t remember her scent.

Ryan’s Wolf: “I tried everything I could but it was like I’m searching for something that doesn’t exist. Her brother is no use. He’s telling us everything he knows but he’s also hiding a lot of things from us.”

In Ryan’s head: I know but I can’t torture him to speak the truth, can I? He’s her brother.

Ryan: “Ercole, speak your mind. You’re the eldest among us. Tell me something whatever you think or know about this whole situation.”

Ercole: “In my 260 years of life I’ve never witnessed anything like this. There’s a smell associated with every creature in this world. Very few of them have the ability to hide it. You’re one of them as you’re different from any of us and the strongest. All theories, however, got tossed aside when it comes to her. She has a scent. When she’s near, everyone could smell her scent but we tried finding her tonight and none of us could remember it. She didn’t hide it, we just forgot what she smells like. It’s as if someone messed with our head. It’s impossible for even our wolves to detect her scent. You said she was shot by that lethal weapon. She was bleeding but where's her blood? Even if it got washed away by the rain, blood has a strong scent and we’re able to catch it but we couldn’t. Her brother was right, she can’t be found.”

Ryan: “But what creature is she?”

Ercole: “As I said, I’ve never seen something like this but her brother said she’s neither a wolf or a vampire or our wolves would’ve sensed it. You would’ve known and other creatures like witches, warlocks…they’re strong but not stronger than us. The blood of the most powerful ancient wolves is running through our veins and you’re not just a wolf, you’re the strongest one. They’re powerful but the power Amara radiated tonight is enigmatic. Never seen or heard before. Not even the ancient tomes mentions anything like this.”

Ryan: “What about the ones who got extinct?”

Ercole: “Lycans’? Dragons? Lycans’ were different from us in many respects like they were smarter, more muscular and more difficult to kill than werewolves but as I said ‘were’ and it’s been centuries since we heard about any dragon. They no longer exist and Amara can’t be one. I have to ask…is she the one? Is she your mate?”

Ryan: “How would I know? I’ve known her for just a few days and we don’t even know what creature she is.”

Ercole: “What does Azrael feel about her?”

Ryan: “As you know my wolf is different. We don’t talk like normal wolves do.”

In Ercole’s head: You both are on different pages. You have to embrace both your sides, son. The sooner you realize it, the better.

Ryan: “Did that fucker say anything?”

Luca: “No alpha, he won’t open his mouth. We tried to break him using every method but he didn’t say a word.”

Ryan’s Mindlink: “Bruno, leave the control room and come here.”

Bruno’s Mindlink: “Yes alpha. I’m in deep shit. Help would be appreciated, Luca.”

Ryan: “Explain. How did this happen? (flashback in the woods)”

Bruno: “Since there were fewer guards in the forest they chose to take that route. They knew we wouldn’t expect any attack from our own species at this moment. It was well known to them that only humans would be present in the gathering so we wouldn’t do anything to let our cover slip. A good opportunity to execute such a plan. There were sixty five of them. Thirty vampires and thirty five rogue wolves. As vampires are faster than wolves they used them to kill our men who were patrolling that area and destroy the cameras which allowed the wolves to attack the mansion.”

Jacob: “Show yourself you filthy leech.”

Miles: “Who’s there? (present time)”

Bruno: “It all happened in a few seconds. Before I could inform you, they were outside the mansion and started firing but miss Amara somehow sensed it and saved everyone. I know I failed you, alpha.”

Ryan: “I don’t want your apologies, I want names. Whoever planned this attack...I won’t feel peace until I rip their heads off. Rentao and Enzo go back to patrolling and inform me if you find anything or anyone. Ercole, I want you to check on the injured people and Benz, do whatever you can to save him. I’ll visit him in the morning. Bruno, stop whining and do what you do best at. Find everything you can about these attackers. I’m sure they were using a phone or any other device you can hack. Gather any information you can. They came from the south of our border and we know in the south we have neutral ground. They used it to their advantage. They knew we wouldn’t be able to follow their scent. Luca, Steven we need to pay our last respects to those who lost their lives tonight. Take care of the arrangements. Walter and the others are coming back today. We’ll hold a meeting right after their arrival. Luca, Renato, Steven, I want all three of you there. (the next morning at the hospital). Is there any improvement?”

Enric: “He’s getting worse. He isn’t healing. That was a Silver Nitrate Bullet. Any other wolf would’ve died on the spot. I don’t know how anyone managed to make this kind of weapon. When he got shot the silver solution extracted from the round directly into his bloodstream. It affected his heart badly. His body is unable to heal the wound due to our extreme allergy to silver.”

In Ryan’s head: I have to know.

Ryan: “What effects would this bullet have on the human body?”

Enric: “It was a seven mm bullet. It’s beyond my knowledge how they made it but I can say that the wounds can be fatal.”

In Ryan’s head: Fatal. Oh Amara, why did you leave? I would’ve done anything to save you but I don’t even know where you are.

Ryan: “What if I give him my blood? My blood has more healing properties than any other wolf. It healed Rico when he was attacked last year.”

Enric: “We can give it a try but I’d suggest we keep our expectations low. We’ve already tried everything but nothing made any difference to his condition. (in the living room)”

Walter’s Mindlink: “We’re here, alpha.”

In Silvia’s head: What happened to his face? This ugly ass scar is ruining his beautiful face. Good thing it’ll heal in no time.

In Ryan’s head: Walter Cattaneo, my beta and best friend. How could I forget, he’s also Aria’s mate and husband. I had sent him to inspect other packs and covens. I needed to know if other packs and covens knew about the regrime’s plan or not and how they’re planning to deal with the situation. Whatever happened last night, I can’t afford to waste any more time.

Ryan: “We’re having a meeting in fifteen minutes.”

Walter: “Of course.”

Gino: “I’m gonna see your mom, son. I’ll be back before the meeting starts.”

Walter: “Okay dad.”

Gino: “Come with me Micah.”

Walter: “Won’t you give me a hug, beautiful?”

Aria: “I missed you babe.”

Walter: “I missed you more, beautiful.”

Saliva: “What about me? Nobody missed me.”

Aria: “Actually no.”

Silvia: “Whatever. I’m out of here, this stupid trip got me really tired. I’m gonna sleep for two days straight.”

Walter: “I’m shocked how you got tired just by sitting on your ass all day. You didn’t come with us to fulfill the task we were given. You came with us just to have fun.”

Aria: “I’m not surprised, it must be tiring to bang every wolf you come across.”

Silvia: “I’m getting out of here before I punch you.”

Aria: “I wanna see you try.”

In Aria’s head: Bitch, if you weren’t Walter’s sister I would’ve killed you a long time ago.

Aria: “I hate to do this but I have something to tell you.”

Walter: “Can’t it wait?”

Aria: “No I can’t, it’s about Rico. I didn’t tell you the whole truth about last night. Rico had gone outside for a few minutes before the firing started but Amara saved him. I don’t know how exactly everything happened outside but Diavolo said Amara saved him from getting shot by those lethal bullets. She saved our son. He’s fine…physically but his mental health has taken a hit. He barely ate today and he isn’t talking to anyone, he doesn’t wanna leave his room either. Just go talk to him, maybe he’ll listen to you.”

Walter: “Call Willow, maybe she’ll be able to help him get back to normal.”

Aria: “Okay. (fifteen minutes later in Ryan’s office)”

Walter: “I know what you’re gonna ask first and you already know what I’m gonna say. Everyone knows that we’re the first victim of the government’s vicious plan. The news of such an incident spreads like wildfire.”

Ryan: “We’re not fucking victims, Walter. They declared war and I’m gonna finish it. What those people think, the government is gonna stop now. They’re trying to get rid of us all. They’re not gonna stop anytime soon. They’re pussies, getting their dirty work done by rouge wolves and vampires. They don’t have the balls to do it on their own. I know someone who can talk some sense into those people who think we’re something they can get rid of. Damon Ariti. Walter, Gino, meet Damon.”

Walter: “I heard a lot about you Mr. Ariti. Glad to finally meet you. I didn’t know you knew about us. I thought we’re good at keeping our true self a secret.”

Damon: “Of course I know, Walter and if you’re wondering since when. Then let me tell you I met a witch when I was a teenager so it's pretty obvious for me to know that there are other creatures as well.”

Walter: “Does Amara know?”

Damon: “No and it’d be better if you guys kept it that way. Don’t talk through telepathy in her presence, she’ll suspect something is weird and she’ll start digging for more.”

Walter: “Why not tell her the truth? The things I’ve heard, I can tell she’s not human.”

Damon: “I don’t wanna tell her because I don’t want her to be a part of this world. It’s dangerous for her and if I have to choose between being truthful to her and keeping her safe I’ll always choose her safety over everything.”

Ryan: “So you believe me now, Damon? I told you the other day why I want you to supply us some of those weapons and what the regime’s vicious plan is towards us but you didn’t believe me and now your little sister is paying for it as well. The question is how are you going to fix it? Are you gonna pay a visit to that son of a bitch?”

Damon: “I’m not going anywhere until Amara is back and as you said he’s a son of a bitch he’ll never take accountability for the incident. As he hired someone else to do his dirty work. He wasn’t involved directly but he’s the one who was behind it and who knows, maybe he’ll refuse to meet me now but leave it to me and he’ll meet me whether he likes it or not. I need to know first if he’s in New York or in DC. In the meantime you can find the one who planned this attack. There’s a bigger plan at work and those who attacked last night or just pawns.”

Ryan: “Is there anything else you want to share with us?”

Damon: “You’re not the only one the government wants to get rid of.”

Ryan: “Vampires and witches. Their next target will be them.”

Damon: “Yes. Those weapons aren’t the only thing he asked me to make but I refused. But he isn’t gonna stop there, I know.”

Ryan: “You still won’t tell me where Amara is?”

Damon: “How can I tell you when I don’t know where she is. You tried to find her, what happened? Exactly. You know, one time she disappeared for three months and I hired the best private investigators to find her, one of them was even a werewolf. After a week I received a message from her saying she’ll be back in a few months. Those investigators tried finding her using every way they had up their sleeve but they failed. Then one day when I came home after work she was in the living room watching TV in her pjs. When I asked her where she was she said she was in Japan and the most interesting part was that investigators didn’t even know when she left the country and when she came back. I wasn’t exaggerating when I said no one can find her when she doesn’t wanna be found.”

Walter: “Are you sure she was in Japan?”

Damon: “Yeah, why would she lie? People lie out of fear and she fears nothing.”

Ryan: “I still don’t know how you’re so calm even after knowing she was shot with those bullets. Benz is in a coma, we don’t know if he’ll make it out alive or not and you’re here doing nothing for your sister.”

Damon: “What the hell do you want me to do? Should I call the best doctors to treat her wounds? Well guess what, doctors are fucking useless in her care, they can do nothing for her because she doesn’t respond to any medication. There’s nothing I can do except believe her when she says she’ll be okay and she’ll come back.”

Ryan: “What did you say? How the fuck will she be okay if no medication can help her?”

Damon: “With the help of herbs, medication and rest.”

Ryan: “What the fuck? Are you saying she’s gonna heal those three bullet holes in her body with medication and herbs?”

Damon: “That’s exactly what I’m saying.”

Ryan: “Do you fucking hear yourself?”

Damon: “You’re the one who wanted to know the truth and now you can’t handle it. She had to find something to help herself and she did. No matter how ridiculous it sounds but that’s the truth. Those are the only things that work for her. (Morbius’ living room)

Connar: “No one’s responding boss. They didn’t come back.”

Morbius: “Do you know what this means? They didn’t come back because corpses don’t fucking walk, Connar.”

Connar: “You mean all of them are dead? How the fuck is that even possible? Someone must’ve warned them.”

Morbius: “That’s the least of our concern right now. He’s gonna hunt us down. I don’t know how I’m gonna tell The Chamber that I failed. They’ll kill me, they don’t give second chances. We’re fucked Connar.”

Connar: “What are we gonna do now?”

Morbius: “Leave the city as soon as possible. Our days are numbered now.”

Connar: “But he doesn’t know we’re behind the attack, does he?”

Morbius: “He wasn’t supposed to survive the night either but he did, didn’t he? He’s on his way, he’ll find us eventually. (in the woods in an abandoned house - Amara’s dream in the kitchen)

Margot: “Well well, look at this spoiled brat.”

Young Amara: “Mom.”

Margot: “You still haven’t done the laundry and you’re eating a sandwich. Give it to me.”

Young Amara: “I’m hungry and I wasn’t feeling well. That’s why I didn’t do the laundry.”

Margot: “You always pretend to be sick. You’re nothing but a pathological liar and that’s why you’re not getting any food today.”

Young Amara: “I don’t lie. Check, I’m burning with a fever.”

Margot: “I don’t care. Go and do the laundry. If you don’t get it done in an hour I’m gonna beat you to death.”

In Amara’s head: Just wake up, you’re dreaming. It’s not real.

Amara: “Damn…it’s hurting like a bitch.”

Karl: “You know you were supposed to be dead by now.”

Amara: “Yeah but I chose not to.”

Karl: “You need to go back to sleep, Amara. Your body needs rest to heal itself.”

Amara: “I can’t sleep Karl, you know I hate to sleep when I’m in pain because when I’m in pain I see my childhood memories in my dreams and then my devil starts whispering in my ear to go and pay a visit to those people who pretended to be my parents and it’s not such a good idea. Good thing the bleeding stopped but my head is killing me bad.”

Karl: “Because you’ve lost a lot of blood. I suggest you avoid using your mind reading ability as you need all the energy to recover and your mind reading drains you.”

Amara: “You’re making it sound like I read minds twenty four hours a day. Believe it or not, I’m not a fan of this ability and I use it when I feel like it’s necessary. You don’t have to tell me twice, I can live without reading minds. (two days later outside the building everything is on fire)”
