3RD PERSON .
When Tianna went into the night to look for the map, she was already feeling dizzy from doing a lot of work during the day and doing a lot of running that night. It was more than a crazy day with a crazy chain of events that was ruining it for her. However, she knew for a fact that wasn’t going to stop until she had achieved everything she was set out to achieve.
That was the most important thing and there was no stopping until she got it or maybe, until she reached her limits. She followed the dark path they had come through and kept looking at the ground for any sign of the map. It was a very dark night, so her werewolf abilities were what helped her see through the darkness. She travelled for a long time, but to her disappointment, she found nothing. The map, she thought, might have been blown off the road into the woods, and that could have been the case. Because of the assumption, she decided to return to Chloe and sleep. When she came back, Chloe was fast asleep. She lay beside her and closed her eyes.

The next morning, however, one of the boundary guards who had lost track of Maya and Tianna was still wandering through the woods. He was whistling to himself, feeling carefree. Last night he thought he was going to die. Everything that had happened was in a blur. The way Maya had killed their guards, together with her accomplice was frightening.
They were so fast, and evil as well. When he woke up this morning, he knew nothing else could kill him. They were probably far gone now and he had to return to the Pack to give in his reports. That was the moment a very sharp smell attacked his senses. He jammed his nose with his hands immediately and started walking in the direction. He knew what that smell was, so it didn’t surprise him so much, considering that a lot of people had died the night before. He rounded the corner before slowly walking to the creeping plants on the base of a large oak tree overhead.
That’s when he saw the deceased guard on the floor. He was already rotting away. He peered close and noticed he had died a violent death like the others, probably a broken neck. It was no longer a rare thing for him. He had seen a lot of wars and had fought in them. But what instantly seized his interest was a piece of brown paper beside him. He hurried off and grabbed it before moving away to a safe distance, but not without glancing around him.
This could have been a trap to lure him in and kill him as well. He looked over the map and reasoned that it must belong to the spy who had fled their Pack, alongside her companion. To his surprise, it contained a lot about the Blue Moon Pack. He wondered if it was going to be any sort of help to their Alpha. He wanted to drop it but he reasoned that he had to take a report home and give it to the Alpha.
Gently putting the map in his dress, he started to hurry back to his Pack. He couldn’t wait to have the news scattered around that one of them had survived and he brought a very important stuff home. Upon his return to his Pack, he wasted no time seeking out Alpha Ryker to deliver the crucial information.
“Alpha, I have found something that may be of importance.” He announced while standing on the foot of the stairs that led to the throne where Ryker had been sitting and seething all day. Ryker’s brow came together in concern as he listened to the guard’s report. It sounded good.
“How did you get that?” Alpha’s Ryker’s deep voice echoed through the large room.
“I wrestled it off the spy while running after her last night. The rest were killed. I was the only person that survived.” He lied. The Alpha gave him a cursory look before he gestured to one of the guards beside him to get the map.
The guard walked down and took it from him before returning it to the Alpha who had looked at it and smiled. It was clearly what he didn’t expect. It seemed to be a pretty good map that would give him a lot of information concerning the Black Moon Pack and he was going to take full advantage of it no matter what. His eyes narrowed as he looked back at the guard again.
“This could be the key to finding the fugitives.” He mused, as he thought about the lot of possibilities that this could offer.
Without hesitation, Ryker had the guards summoned Orion immediately. “A guard just returned from the boundary and he said that every single man we sent out there to get her was killed.” Orion felt a bad feeling creep up his spine. He hid his fears and replied.
“What does this mean for me? I wished there was another we could do this.” He asked, biting back the fear that had already gripped him. Alpha Ryker nodded.
“Yes, for you…” He seemed to consider the words. “But in exchange for the lives we lost, I think we got an even better tool now.”
“What do you mean?” He handed the map to Orion; he quickly went through it and smiled, but the smile was short-lived when Alpha Ryker spoke to him again.
“That doesn’t mean we are going to abandon this mission. We will still go after her. I’ll have the Prince assemble some of our best trackers. Go after them immediately. I believe they haven’t gotten too far. I think we both have quests now. We have to make sure your Alpha doesn’t get the news that the map is with us, and he doesn’t also need to know about what you’ve done. What do you say to that?” He asked.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
Orion nodded satisfactorily.
“Thank you, Ryker. Consider it done.” The trackers were mobilised soon enough and they immediately set off into the woods.
