The Unwanted Luna
Chapter 54

"This looks creepy" I muttered just to break the eery silence that surrounded us.

I survey the area we are in but there is nothing much to it. The trees are huge and tall and they seem to be covered in shadows.

It wasn't so dark that we couldn't see, but it felt as if someone had cast a shadow upon the entire forest.

"Nolan" I began. "Could you please push away the shadows?"

Shadows were his forte and he could control them. Having them out of the way could make things a lot easier. I wait as I watched him close his eyes. Trying to concentrate on what needs to be done. After a while, nothing happens and he opens his eyes.

"We have a slight problem...I can't fucking access my powers" he snarled. His face contorted in anger.

"What?" I shout.

Instead of answering, he closes his eyes and tries for a second time. Again, nothing happens which makes him release a growl of frustration.

"What is it? You're a weak pussy without your so-called powers?" Xavier mock wearing a smirk.

I guess he has been waiting for this moment. To have something to throw back at Nolan.

Neither of us see Nolan move and the next thing we know, Xavier is hitting the tree. He slides down holding his jaw while Nolan is standing over him with a sneer on his face.

"I may not be able to access my powers, but I am still a god...Stop reading the wrong and incomplete storyline, jo b nib.com has the correct and complete book. The next time you decide to insult me I'll forget you're Tristan's father and I'll rip off your fucking head", Nolan snarled. Xavier should have learned never to insult a deity. It usually doesn't bode well.

"I'm surprised you didn't defend the love of your life" I tell Bianca.

She looks at me and shakes her head. "He isn't the love of my life and I don't need to get in between them" she murmurs before walking away.

That was a new one. They were so sure back then and now they are denying it. I shake those thoughts of and focus on Nolan.

"So what happens now?" I asked him.

"I don't know....we just keep moving. Powers or not I'm still more powerful than the prick" he replied, motioning to Xavier who was standing up.

Cerberus bounds to me and starts pushing at my legs. I look down at him.

"What is Cer?" I asked.

I shortened his name because it was long and a bit of a handful. He starts barking looking towards the east. I look in that direction but don't see anything nor do I hear anything.

I turn to him but his eyes are still fixed in the same direction. He starts barking again before his ears flatten and a growl is released from his mouth.

"What's wrong with him?" Bianca asks, coming back from where she had disappeared to.

I looked at her, then at Cer before shaking my head. "I don't know, but he seems agitated or something,"

Looking back at the direction he was still growling at, I tried to see what had him so on edge. He was doing fine and then all of a sudden he was growling and snarling. Something wasn't right and that worried me.

When I don't see anything, I shut my eyes and block out the arguing going on between Xavier and Nolan. If they could stop being at each other's neck for just one minute, then they would realize that something may be wrong.

I sniff the air. Trying to separate the different scents that were surrounding me. That's when I catch the smell of rotting flesh. I don't have time to warn the rest because a dozen or so undead burst through the opposite side and come barreling toward us. I guess Agron and Khaos didn't waste time in attacking.

"Oh shit" Xavier says.

I go into battle mode. Jumping on one of the undead, I tore his head clean off his shoulder before going to the next one.

Fuck! I had forgotten how fast these things were. Without wasting time, I transform into Onyx. She is a beast compared to werewolves, but that is a good advantage.

Xavier was having difficulty with them, so the majority of the workload fell on me and Nolan. After a while, I was beginning to get tired. They just kept coming and coming. Like there was an endless source that was spiting them out.

I never get this tired this quickly, but then again, I used to depend on my powers for energy supply. I continue fighting. Ripping and clawing, beheading, then repeating the same process again.

I was so focused on the one that was struggling in my arms that I didn't see the two others that were charging toward me.

They crash into me, making me fall. They then proceed to pummel. I try to dodge their attacks but they come from three pairs of different hands.

"Amelia" heard Nolan shout. "Where the fuck is Bianca?"

He tries to push through the Undead but doesn't succeed. I tried to get up but then I failed.

That's when I feel the air change. A gold shimmer streaks through the space and Cerberus is standing in his full form, his three heads snapping. He doesn't waste time. He swipes the three undead holding me down, tearing their bodies in half. He then charges and attacks the rest and within minutes he has killed all of them.

I stand up and then transform back to human.

"Why the hell didn't he transform the moment they attacked?" Xavier asked, breathing hard.

Nolan shrugs his shoulder. "Probably because he is here solely to protect Lia. She was holding her own, he transformed when he saw that she was in trouble."

Said dog changes back and comes to stand next to me. Just then, Bianca comes out of the trees. Fear in her eyes.

"Where the fuck were you?" Nolan yelled at her. "While we were busy fighting for our lives you were seriously hiding?"

Bianca doesn't say anything. Just stares at the ground. Tears were falling from her eyes.

"Why the hell didn't you help us?" Nolan continues shouting at her.

I look at Xavier and, for the first time, he is not defending her.

"I asked you a fucking question?" Nolan continues when she doesn't answer.

Her breath hitches. "I couldn't help because I can't shift"

"What do you mean you can't shift...you were always able to shift" I interrupted before Nolan or Xavier can say anything.

"That was before...I no longer have my wolf" she says quietly, shocking me speechless.
