"....." Zara kept quiet so he could go on.
"I-i begged daddy to take me to the human fair…I heard about the place from uncle Emi, but he refused as it's far from the pack and dangerous cause hunters are everywhere…..when he said no I told him I would go on my own when he saw I did not back down he was forced to take me it was amazing there were many children like me so many games and food too" Emilio said while his eyes a twinkle of sparks from excitement.
Zara smiled at that cause it showed his age for once, he showed he was still a child.
"But" the light in his eyes disappeared as if it was never there "We didn't spend long" he said softly.
"Why was that" Zara asked
"Don't know dad never told me but all of a sudden he picked me up and started running back to the pack we came through a car but he ran saying it would be too late he shifted immedietaly we entered the forest he ran fast so fast that he became a blurry figure but before we got to the boarder of our pack he shove me off him and continued running I was confused I tried mindlinking but he cut me off so I ran after him but was not fast enough when I got there everyone was already cold and unmoving everything was destroyed and burnt" he lowerd his head and whisper softly
"I saw my dad, he told me to stay there and not move, he called my name to run but my brother ran instead I was confused I saw men around him they slashed him with knives, claws and fangs but my dad's eyes was only on mine as if telling me to t in put for once I stood there and watched it all" he said in a confused tone.
Zara understood his father's intention so she stood up and took the book from the table and placed it back on the shelf.
"You're quite young pup, when you grow older you will understand your dad reason now come her" she patted the sofa she's now sitting on he stood up and walked towards her and his head on her lap she started humming soon he was out and sleeping soundly.
Zara looked at the sleeping boy on her, she couldn't help but feel pity for the young pup.
She felt a strange sense of familiarity. She felt like she knew this gravven from somewhere but can pinpoint where, she stood up and lifted the boy off the couch walking towards the room he came out from.
Zara was a lone witch, she was casted out of her coven cause she was practised dark vile magic 'Witch Craft' which was down to earth ridiculous cause witches are known cause of their witch craft which was vile, dangerous and feared but covens banded that and started practicing how to heal, how to make trees grow bigger, how to lift people and objects, how to increase ones strength which was a complete bullshit.
Zara was driven cause she possess something they don't true witch craft, which many can't out of 100 percent on 1 percent can do real craft while 2 percent can do spells but with flashbacks the rest are useless.
Zara could make puppets,clowns, animals, portions of different uses,portals of different purpose, can control minds of humans and animals, can create different faces things a normal witch can do, so she driven out cause she was a freak by elders who were envious, they gave her rules that in other to stay in the coven she had to learn those pathetic magic, she could not accept those lame rule why accept to be weak when she can rule the world?.
She never went into a different coven, why would she when she a direct descendant of 'Matoveriah' the strongest witch who was her great-grandma, she was known as Anaii, she was a witch who was feared for centuries until she died, she was also the oldest witch with a lifespan of one thousand seven hundred and five, she had lived for a very long time and had memories of the world which was also recorded as the 'Veriah Tuel'.
She had two great grand daughters one which was her mum Bethernoval, the oldest who did not inherit Anaii's power but of a basic witch, her youngest sister Jovehi inherited the true witch power, she was proud, vile and sly, she had powers stronger than her mother but karma was a real bitch, she had two children Nuii and Nvii but none inherited her powers, but her older sister who see saw as a disgrace gave birth to a Tuel- witch, but Bethernoval lost her life during childbirth her magic core was to weak, she was the only hope to the Matoveriah's clan she swore to be stronger, she has no information about her grandma not even her name.
But seeing the little boy her black heart melted and wanted nothing but to protect him.
~•TIME SKIP•~
The next morning Zara was up earlier than usual, she prepared a feast for the young pup by 9 she heard the light footstep of the little one who was peeping at the table filled with food.
"Come and eat pup" Zara called out to him with a gentle voice.
He walked slowly to the table and mumbled a small 'thank you' before sitting on the table.
There were different meals on the table he who had been homeless before knew not to waste food, he ate everything not leaving anything behind.
Zara who watched him stared amusingly at his stuffed cheeks but said nothing after breakfast she cleared the table, while he walked to the living room to relax while she washed the dishes when she was done she went into the living room.
She suddenly noticed two pair of ruby eyes watching and observing her, she smiled and walked towards him.
"Little one why are you staring at me like that" she asked confused as to why he's staring at her weirdly.
"..." he kept quite still staring at her.
"Okay that weird…so tell me pup do have any friend to stay with" Zara asked.
"No" he replied solemly.
"Okay…u want to stay with me?" she asked.
Emilio just stared at her to see if she was serious after 20 seconds of silence he nodded once.
She smiled.
"Okay but we will change your name" she said smirking.
"Why should I change" he asked confused as to why he should change his name.
"Cause the supposed Emilio is your brother" she said seriously.
Emilio frowned when he remembered his brother posing as him.
"Okay " he agreed solemly.
"You would be known as Vitti" she said proudly.
"I don't like it" Emilio frowned.
"what do u mean u don't like it?".
"it terrible" he spat disgustingly.
"How dare you..you.. piny tiny ahhh Vitti is a nice name"
"It's not wanted it sucks" she said with a deep frown on his face.
"How dare...mmphs he's a pup leave him be"she said mumbling.
"What ever pup, I'm not human am a witch if you're going to stay you need to know" Zara said softly.
"I know it's a bit shoc-" she started.
"I know" he said cutting her off she froze for a second.
"I knew it was too muc- huh wait what?" she asked confused.
She felt she heard the word 'i know '
"I knew you're one" he said and her went wide.
"No-no-no I meant witch not been bad but witch witch craft alchemy kind of witch" Zara babbled confused.
"I know" he said softly.
"B-but how??" she asked gaslighted.
"You eyes gave it away" he said.
She quickly took out her phone and checked her grey eyes and frowned.
"B-but there's nothing here" she mumbled confusedly.
"Your real eyes Z" she froze yet again.
"What?" she asked dumbstruck.
"Your real eyes are purple and this skin you put on is a facade you ain't old, your real skin Is beutifully tanned you're a young woman of 24 to 26" he said and Zara laughed.
"You're indeed special and you saw through my cover which is impossible but you did it, how did u do it?".
"I don't know I just did" Zara nodded and flicked her hand her and soon her wrinkled body turned young and virbrant tanned skin with beautiful posion eyes.
"i must give it to you but you are though" Zara said walking elegantly towards him.
"Wrong? what do u mean" he asked confused and Zara smiled.
"I'm seven hundred and twenty five" she said proudly and Emilio frowned.
"You're old" his frown deepened and soon replaced with amusement.
"Hey am not old I just took an appearance of an old woman cause of the human society I'm not old" she said trying to prove she's young.
The boy stood up shaking his head, she knew he did not believe her.
"The appearance you took is younger than your age "he said and shook his head.
"HEY I'M NOT" she said furiously but was not really angry she was glad his expression changed even though it was from making a jest of her, his amusement was worth it.
"Little one wat do u want to do" she asked
"I-i want I want–" he stop and the images of what happened to his dad and he became furious..
"I want to know what's was so precious enough to end a pack" he said with teary eyes.
"Your powers pup, if not trained and controlled all their effort would be invane" she said and sat in front of him and stared in his eyes.
"You want them to be free and enjoy happiness while u drown in misery?" she said slowly but firmly.
"H-hapiness" he said with a distant look.
Happiness why should they be happy when he can't see his father youthful smile, when he can't hear his mum singing every morning, when he can't have a home and a family, while they are happy and finding comfort in something they took from him, something stronger than hatred started to grow deep and fast.
"No I want all of them DEAD all of them" he said his eyes darker than darkness itself
"..." Zara watched in surprise cause a dark demonic aura surrounded Emilio.
Something terriblely strong and dark is growing strong and fast in this little pup,
She knew she need to train him and to control the monster growing in him so not to get consumed by it .
