Chapter 33 The Run Before The Walk
Part 1 A n to elope
The enchantress''s POV
All of us witches were still in the library getting ready for Dr Write''s arrival. With my eyes closed, I
concentrated to find Faustus''s Griffith''s mind. It has been a long time since Ist used this technique so
I was a little rusty. After a few frustrating moments, I managed to get a five-minute glimpse of hisst
conversation with Dr Write. Through Faustus''s eyes, I could see everything and hear the full
conversation. This was something I needed to report to the alpha of the moonshine pack as fast as
possible to make sure that everyone was prepared for anything that could happen.
"Witches, get ready, everything is going as nned," I smiled, feeling content that we worked as a
team of a strong woman.
"I will let Luka know," Nelly said standing up from the floor, breaking the circle that we formed.
"No, don''t worry about that, I got it. I need you to get yourselves, readydies. Don''t forget what we
nned to do," I said reassuring everyone with a nod.
As the young witches rushed out of the library, I stood up holding my side as I felt a stinging from
my still-healing wound. Wincing at the feeling of pain I still pushed myself to start walking, taking one
step at a time.
"Can''t wait to make you pay for this Dr Write. You have no idea whom you are dealing with," I said with
a brittle voice.
Settling myself I started making my way towards the alpha''s office whom he was writing something on
a piece of paper.
"Enchantress, is everything ok?" He asked, looking at my face.
"I''m fine but I came here to warn you. Dr Write is on his way to us here. It is a long story but with the
help of a shapeshifter, we managed to trick him into believing that he is going to find his favourite
experiment, leading him to the dungeons where you can easily lock him up. Of course, he got some
company with him so you need to prepare a few of your pack to take necessary action. My girls are
already there waiting for our enemies'' arrival."
The alpha stood up from the chair looking straight into my eyes quietly, resting his arms against the
table. I could tell he was processing what I just said and my face started to express the urgency for him
to do something he ran out of the door yelling code red as loudly as he could to gather his pack. I
followed him outside and watched quietly as the wolves started to rush into the hall, waiting to be
informed of the urgency Luka was expressing.
My long green dress was too heavy and tight and I knew that it was the reason why the pain was
getting worse again. Holding myself against the wall, I tried to focus hard on what the alpha was
saying, but soon my vision lost its fight and felt myself being pulled down on the floor.
Luka''s POV
"I need twenty of you guarding outside the walls. One of you must be my messenger and rush to me
once they arrive. The others must fight to get rid of the guards Dr Write has with him. Five of you will be
in the dungeons waiting for his arrival whilst Jake will protect Faustus. He is a shapeshifter, a friend of
the enchantress that helped us bring our enemy right where we want him."
Suddenly as I peek at the enchantress''sst post, I noticed she was not standing there any longer, but
a few of my people closest to her were surrounding her lifeless body that lied on the floor.
Rushing down to her side, everyone moved away, giving me the space I needed to get to her. Kneeling
to her side I felt her pulse and checked her breathing.
"Bring a nurse, she can''t breathe," I yelled in urgency, "not now great witch! We need you here," I
whispered, holding her hand.
"Alpha," one of the nurses called, looking down at us.
"Yes, right here," I replied moving aside to let him work.
"Her dress. It''s too tight," he exined, cutting the ribbon off her back, loosening it for her.
Immediately she gasped and coughed hard opening her eyes wide in shock, breathing heavily as she
looked at everyone around her.
"Ok everyone," I shouted, trying to bring back the attention on me whilst removing it from her to give
her some space.
"Jake, can I leave the rest with you?"
With a nod he took my ce as I stepped away, moving back towards the enchantress. She was
breathing a little better now but still, she needed to rest.

"I will ask my wife to give you somethingfortable for you. I don''t want you to wear anything
inappropriate for your situation. We all thought we lost you," I frowned, showing my worried face
towards her.
"Oh alpha," she chuckled in between breaths, "I will be fine. I don''t die this easily anyways. Being
stubborn is all I am."
Grinning, I started walking up the stairs into my room where I found Mei and Mason ying together,
him jumping on the bed as she tried grabbing him from the edge of the bed.
"He is a tease, just like his handsome father," she clicked her tongue and smiled sheepishly at me,
looking eager to see my reaction.
I looked at the floor, then chuckled, knowing that this moment was one to cherish. Not answering her I
moved closer to them as I observed their smiles andughter, looking into their eyes grinning.
"Come here," I said opening my arms wide for my son and wife to join in for a family embrace, "I love
you both so much. And this little one in here too," I looked at her belly as we all took our time holding
into each other.
Melody''s POV
"I can sense he is very close to us," I whispered, avoiding being loud due to the echoes of the
dungeons.
"How can you feel that?" Nelly asked, looking surprised.
"I don''t know. But I am certain of it."
We both got quiet as we heard some footsteps approaching the entrance. Hiding in the dark, we found
a perfect spot where we could see whoes in and out and so we waited, hoping it was the
enchantress or Luka. Instead, two unknown people appeared at the open gates, looking around like
they were suspicious about the ce.
"Damn it! It must be the guards that are with the scientists," I whispered, not losing sight of them
approaching the cells.
"What if we close them in?" Nelly asked, looking at my face''s side view.
Sensing her observance, I nced at her for a moment, frowning as I thought about her idea.
Confused about how to manage her n, my eyes looked around to see if there was even a possibility
to do what she suggested.
"And what about us? We trap us with them?"
She looked behind us, then looked at me, motioning with her eyes in the other direction.
"What? No way. Are you sure? We don''t know where there leads us to."
As she looked in our enemies direction, we noticed that they were getting further in, walking slowly,
peeping at every spot, checking if there were any wolves around.
"Too quiet for my taste," one guard said to the other.
"Look! I think the upied cells are further that way. Might as well we check if that scum was telling the
truth."
With a nod, they started to walk further in. Something must be done to make them go away but there
wasn''t much we could do. I looked at Nelly in the eye, curving my lips, showing my worry but instead of
joining me with the same expression, she smiled like she has eloped a n. Closing her eyes she
focussed quietly and chanted softly, noticing how her voice slightly echoed through the empty ve.
"What are you doing? They might hear you," I mumbled as close to her as possible.
Still chanting with her eyes shut, she smiled and suddenly I hear screaminging from the two guys
that were walking towards us.
"Damn it! Run Benedict, hurry!"
Observing them, still from my hiding space they fled like two kids afraid of the dark, looking pale but I
couldn''t see what frightened them. Nelly must have made a fear it spell which is only intended for one''s
enemy to see whilst others cannot discern.
"That was awesome!" Iughed, raising my arm for a high five.
"We still need to inform Luka of their arrival. Hopefully, the guards will not dare to return, but we need
Dr Write toe alone as we agreed during our nning," Nelly said, raising her eyebrows.
"We can''t leave from here. Dr Write is just behind that door," I exined, looking confused by her
suggestion.
"Darling, have you forgotten how else we can let the others know?"
Looking directly into Nelly''s eyes I now understood what she was nning and chuckled, knowing that
she was a true genius!
