Sunday Night during the New Moon RitualKairi's POV After talking to my wonderful lover and using my day to do some editing I ended up going to bed around 9 o'clock. Last night was the first since the party that I've talked to Sophia and my god I missed her so much. During the whole kidnapping thing and waking to find out that she wasn't found and could possibly be dead, let's just say I didn't sleep at all.  We were just inside dancing, drinking, we almost had sex and then she could have been killed. And where was I? Knocked out for God knows how long. But enough of that, she's back and that makes me happy so I climbed into bed and soon after, fell asleep."Well, well, well. Look what you the cat dragged in," a echo sarcastic voice sounded behind me. Oh joy. The reasons why I hate falling asleep."Oh God. What do you want Yōkai?" Crossing my arms looking at the purple glowing eyed, shadowy figure that looks like me."We've been over this. Yōkai are a group of Japanese spirits. Call me Yami Kairi. After all I am basically a demon version of you," she paced around me. Suddenly bck chains clinged around my arms holding me in pce. The shadow me or Yami Kairi smiled devilishly at me. "Strap in and enjoy yourself, you might be here a while." And like that she vanishes. I don't know how long I was trapped here, like you can keep track in a dream much less this pce. Suddenly Yami me reappeared panting holding her/my stomach. She looked exhausted and for the first time since I became aware of her I saw fear in her eyes. She sat down looking at the ground."What happened? Where have you been? How long has it been?" I inquired.After a long pause she started. "I....I.....I...s....saw something, something savage, primal. We Oni are some of the strongest creatures in the world and just the presence of what I saw that feeling made ME freeze."Even though she was a shady character (no pun intended). I had a feeling she was telling the truth and that scared me more than in scared her."What happened? What did you see? What was it? Yami tell me," I pleaded with her as she got up with a smirk."Don't worry about it——""Don't worry? You saw something that scared even you. Probably hurt you too. And you expect me to just not worry about it. When I can't protect myself. When I don't know the first time about being a Yōkai.""When our father comes home he'll expin everything. For now wake up, it's time for school." And with that my eyes shot open as I stared at the ceiling with a sigh.Sophia's POVI woke feeling refreshed and quickly got ready for the day. I felt like everything was right was the world. I thought as I walked off the stares and entered the kitchen to mom watching the news on the small ft screen above the isnd counter."Today bodies were found in a gruesome scene in the alley of Crescent Grill and Bar. Where two homeless men were brutally kill with limbs being ripped apart and ssh marks were found. The police are asking everyone to be vigint and to be home by 10 'o'clock the test. This is your reporter Vicky Mayne for Crescent Falls News."My mom turned off the TV with a sigh then looked at me with a smile. "Buenos días mi peque?o loba. ?Cómo te sientes?(Good morning my little wolf. How are you feeling?)"Realmente mamá. Peque?o loba. Me siento maravilloso", I replied with a smile .(Really mom. Little Wolf. I feel wonderful")"Good. Any pins for the day?" Mom asked while handing me my breakfast and lunch."The usual hanging out with the guys and Kairi after school," I replied swapping an apple from the counter."Show off your tattoos I see?"I was dressed in a red off the sleeve crop top, a high waist denim shorts, my red and white converse, white tall socks with my sleeveless hoodie over everything. My two tats were on full dispy and I couldn't be more prouder. "Yea they're beautiful so why not show them off. I feel like my old self is slowly coming back.""That's good oso de miel. I'm proud of you," mom came over hugging me. As usual her vender perfume smelled wonderful but my new sense of smell kicked in up to 11. So much so that I thought I could pick out her scent from the perfume. The door opened jolting our attention to it and in came Joshua wear blue cargo pants, grey polo shirt, white air forces and his basketball Jock jacket. He smiled at us before taking an apple."Morning Aunty Terry. Soph how——""Before you ask Joshy, I feel great." He gave me a puzzled look while eating his apple and mom waved."Joshy? It's been a while since you called me that.""Yea it has but it's a brand new day and I'm feeling like my old self," I replied putting my lunch in my bag and moved to the door pushing him through. "Bye mom, enjoy your day.""YOU KIDS BE SAFE OUT THERE!!!" Mom shouted as we headed to Paul's jeep.We pulled up to the school when a strange scent hit me from out of nowhere. I looked around trying to pinpoint the sources. "What on earth is that smell?"Cole and the others looked at me with a smirk. "That my dear Sophia is the smell of Vampires. Get use to that, you'll be smelling it a lot," Sarah said now smiling at me with a wink." Oh great vampires. After st night I totally forgot that there are Witches and Vampires. Anyways. I tried not the pay attention to how awful the scent was and focusing on who it's coming from. My eyes widen when I finally found the vampire, and to my surprise it was Johnathan Raygan. My old friend and art rival was standing by the two new boys I remembered from the basketball court and judging from their scent they were vampires too but John's scent was somewhat different from the other two. I walked over to him with Josh beside me after leaving the jeep. When he saw me a small smirk appeared on his face while the other boys just stared at me. Maybe I was showing too much skin? But......it doesn't matter I'm not into guys and even if I was, they're not my type."Redway what's up? Loving the new tattoos. Especially the one on your arm," Johnathan said with a smug expression, a bit of mischief in his eyes.I narrowed by eyes then smiled, "You know.""Of course I know. The tribe and my cn have history. Especially our families," he paused looking into my eyes for a minute then looked at Josh. "Joshua, good morning. See you on the court, yes?""Just don't hog the ball this time," Josh replied resting a hand on my shoulder."No promises...you need to be faster.""Don't push it Raygan.""Anyways.... Sophia I'll see you in css and I'm liking the outfit. Reminds me of the old you." And with that John left us with the other two following. I got inside and saw the gang minus Kairi. As we got closer Shayloh eyes widen. "OMG YES BITCH YES...... I'M FUCKING LOVING THIS," she said jumping into a hug."Is bad boss bitch coming back," Chloe commented joining us. "Outfit, yes, tattoos, yes and the confidence to finally start dressing like her old self."I suddenly felt two hand gripping my butt and a jolt of electricity shot through my body. I turned around to see a very exhausted Kairi smiling at me."Babe, what's wrong? You look awful. Did you go overboard with editing again?""Hi guys. And no I just didn't sleep well st night.""Want me to get my mom to make you some herbal tea? It always ease your nerves.""Has much as I would love to get high with that tea. But thanks tho."Css started soon after and soon school ended. I told the pack that I had an art project to complete so they along with the rest of my friends left, even Kairi after a managed to send her home to get some rest. But news fsh I lied and I soon found myself at Theon's front door. I knocked and after two minutes he opened the door with a smile. "Hi Sophia....... you're showing more skin........,"he looked my over till his eyes rested on my arm. "So you went through the Binding Ritual. I'm proud of you. I'm sure you're brother's are proud too." I smiled at him before noticing he was holding his abdomen which was odd. "What happened to you?""I ran into some thing st night and it left me with a present.""You should have healed already so why am I smelling blood?""Some injuries take longer to heal than other even against other wolves.""Other wolves?""Yes. I don't know if we've tell you but there are two or three types of wolves: Alphas and Betas. And then there are the Omegas the lone wolves. Alphas are stronger,faster, higher senses, faster healing and other special powers. Betas are the average wolves, you'll see them mostly outside of the Reservation. Omegas are just Betas that left or are survivors of a destroyed pack.""If Betas are the most common how do Alphas come about?""Alphas are born like you and your family. But a strong enough Beta can kill or steal the Alpha Gene from the beaten Alpha."I sat there looking at him. I'm an Alpha.....like the leader of a pack,damn. There is still so much I don't know about this, what I really am. Thank God I got Theon to help me. We talked some more before I had to leave, got to keep up with the lie.Kairi's POV It was 9 pm so I decided to turn in. Honestly I was tired, hopefully I can get some sleep tonight. As soon as my head touched my pillow I was out and of course I was back in the shadow space. "Yami!!! Yami Kairi!!!" I called out."I'm right here buttercup. I have a surprise for you. Dad's coming home soon and I want to have some fun and since you can't leave here I'll be taking control. But don't worry, you'll have a front row seat to the show."I tried to object but a shadow covered my mouth as I was forced to watched my shadow double take control of my body. I watched as she went downstairs and to my surprise dad was there talking to mom."Kairi hi dear, why are you up this te?"he asked with concerned eyes."I'm sorry little Kai- Kai can't come to the phone right now," Yami Kairi said in a sarcastic voice. "But I can to a message.?" Without hesitation my Dad's eyes glowed white and he pulled out a shadow spear front out of his chest and attacked me. All I could be was watch has it became clear that my father was taking it easy on us/me/her. After about twenty minutes he tapped out forehead and I was given back control.My dad looked down at me with concern, "Kairi we have much to discuss."
