Revenge Of The Fallen Omega
Chapter 4
LILA
A loud scream escapes my lips when the wolf tears into my skin causing blood to rush out.
"Please let me go!" I beg but I soon understand there's no hope for me as it starts to laugh at me while biting my flesh and soon after, its friends join along.
"Foolish girl, you had the audacity to enter our territory," one snarls.
They rip me to shreds and the last thing I hear is the crack of my neck before my heart gives out and I finally embrace death.

I shield my eyes from the bright light of the room and squint when I finally manage to open them.
How am I alive and where the hell am I ? Are the first thoughts that fill my mind when I look around the unfamiliar bedroom.
"Ow," I mutter and the door to the room bursts open and confusion snakes down my spine as I see my best friend Andrea and my cousin Nicolas rush towards me.
If I'm able to see them then it could mean only one thing...
The Moon Goddess gave me another chance to live !
"Oh my God Lila, Thank the Goddess you're finally awake!" Andrea says, squashing me with her arms.
"Girl, you gave us a scare, you don't know how long we've been looking for you," Nicolas murmurs, concern etched on his features.
I sigh, feeling somewhat overwhelmed as I presto tell them everything.
"You guys may not believe me when I say this but I was attacked by wolves and i died. The moon goddess must have given me a second chance to live."
They both stared at me like I had two heads before Andrea burst into tears hugging me tighter.
"Oh Thank her goodness, that explains why we found you unconscious but clear of wounds in rogue lands."
I'm not sure how to feel yet with the moon Goddess bringing me back to life.
What was the point of I'm still going to end up in the same situation, suffering or being hunted down?
"I'm glad that you're alive Lila but you need food if you're going to stay alive and we can't stay here for long, it's not safe. Nicolas warned as he already started packing up things from the room like we're on the run.

" You still haven't told me where we are, Nic," I say as I take a huge bite into a burger, my first decent meal in days.
Nic sighs and abandons his food. " I had to cast a spell and transport us into a small town because the other places aren't safe for you right now."
Compassion filled me as I was suddenly aware of the risk my cousin and best friend took for me.
They could be exiled from the pack but they still went through it all and I know that I owe them my life for this.
"So what's the plan now?" I ask.
" We are going to rest here for a few days then Nic will cast an identity spell on us to hide your looks so we can find somewhere to start afresh." Andrea says.
I feel hopeful for the first time in a long time and I think that maybe the moon goddess has good plans for me.

2 DAYS LATER
We've been camped in this motel trying to carefully plan out our next move while I used the time to recover from everything I've been through.
It's crazy how no one talks about the appetite you gain after coming back to life.
Today is our last day here so by night time we will be on our way with my new identity and new live.
Maybe I will finally be able to go to university, I muse. It was my parents wish for me to have a good education but we weren't rich, they devoted their lives to the pack and didn't even earn up to 1,500 pounds a month.
"Hurry up girls, we need to get going soon!" Nicolas calls from the living room as Andrea steps into our room.
" What's the point of doing makeup when we are running away?" I ask regarding her fully baked face.
"I need a perfect base for the run girl. No makeup is equal to bad luck."
I can't help but laugh at her as I make my way to the bathroom.
I immediately strip my clothes and jump into the bath tub laying my head for a bit on the headrest.
I run my hands through my hair to spread the soap then once I finish I rinse off and tie my robe.
I'm about to come out of the bathroom when all of a sudden I hear a glass fall on the floor and I immediately rush out of the bathroom, when I hear Andrea's scream.
"What's going on here?" I ask getting back into the room.
Panic courses through me when I don't see anyone.
"Andrea !"
"Nicolas!" I scream running through the motel apartment but I'm met with silence.
I search every part of the apartment for them and I see them for a brief second before my breath hitches in my throat.
