Chapter 7: The Massacre (2)
Snow rushed forward to hold her mother. She looked down at her mother's lifeless body. She turned to look at her father's pitiful state and she looked around to see the entire pack has been thrown into a chaotic state.
Blood was splattered everywhere in the pack. The cries of agony of both men and women could be heard all around the once peaceful pack.
She was struggling to go to her mother, but Felix was angered by Rose's action. He couldn't believe that she would take her own life just to stay away from him.
"Mother!" Snow kept crying.
Felix went to her and dealt her a slap. He chose to take out his frustration on her. Leo was enraged by Felix's action. No one was allowed to touch his daughter and Felix just hit her. How dare he?
Leo picked a stone and managed to throw at Felix, but instead of Felix, someone else was hit. The guard fell as his head bled from the impact of the stone.
"You are still strong enough to hurt my people, huh?" Felix's paws elongated as he trotted towards Leo. "Let me teach you a lesson."
"I will kill you all!" Leo barked through gritted teeth.
"Okay," Felix nodded and smirked as soon as he was close to Leo. "Let's see how strong you still are when you bleed to death." He dug his paws straight into Leo's neck and then to his chest.
He waited for a while to make sure that Leo bled till he was weak. An evil grin appeared on his face as soon as he noticed that Leo was slowly falling.
"Not so fast, dear cousin," Felix smirked and threw a punch to Leo's face. "Keep a close watch on him." He barked before walking away.
Snow was released as soon as Leo left. She rushed towards Leo and held him. "Father are you okay?" She cried hugging Leo's legs.
"Snow, remember our promise?" Leo weakly asked. "You are not allowed to show your powers to anyone, remember?
"But Father, I can save the pack. I can save you," Snow uttered with surety.
She had no doubt that with her powers, she could save the pack. However, Leo wasn't ready to take the risk.
"You can't." Leo managed to hold her hand.
"Why not?" Snow said through tears.
"There are too many of them.l," Leo's breathing was becoming heavy as he spoke.
"Father, please let me try. Let me do something for the pack. Let me save our people." Snow pleaded, with more tears rolling down her cheek. "I can't just stand by and watch the pack fall to ruin when I have the power to save it."
"Snow, You can't save it." Leo closed his eyes to hide the sad tears that were threatening to fall out. "This pack was doomed to fall the moment Felix set his eyes on it."
"But Father..."
"Please Snow, you have to promise me that no matter what happens you won't show your powers to anyone."
Snow opened her mouth, but the words just couldn't come out. How could she promise not to show her powers when her family was crumbling and her entire home was falling to ruin?
She shook her head and cried. "No Father, I can't promise you that."
"Snow," Leo called softly.
He was now very weak. He could barely stand. If he wasn't tied with those chains then he would have fallen.
"Please Snow, you have to promise to protect yourself until you've come of age and you're old enough to take care of yourself."
"Father, I want you to take care of me." Snow cried.
"Yes Snow, I will be with you all the way." Leo whispered. "Just keep your powers and save yourself until then."
"But Father...."
"Promise me, Snow, please," Leo opened his hand and beckoned.
He could already feel life leaving him. His breathing was slowly becoming chopped. He knew that Snow might probably be able to fend off the invaders with her powers, but right now she was too young.
Besides, they were too many of them. So he wanted to wait until she has come of age. Until she is older and stronger.
"I promise you, Father, I won't show or use my powers until I have come of age." She cried as she reluctantly vowed.
"Thank you my dear." Leo muttered and leaned forward to kiss her, but he couldn't, the chains were holding him back and he was too weak to struggle.
Snow noticed more blood dripping off Leo and she hugged him tightly. "Does it hurt?"
"No dear. It's fine."
Snow raised her head to look at Leo. She knew that he was only saying that to keep her from worrying. Even a blind man could tell that he wasn't fine, yet, he claimed that he was.
"Father, you do not have to lie to ..." Snow turned to reprimand Leo, but noticed that he had suddenly slumped.
"Father?" She called out, but got no response. She shook his body but Leo remained stagnant. "No! Father!" She cried loudly.
Felix's guards came there at Snow's loud cry and they all rejoiced to see Leo dead. They checked him properly to confirm that he was dead and they all howled with joy.
Snow held Leo and she remained like a statue, sitting still in that posture for hours until Felix returned after conquering the entire pack.
"I see my dear cousin finally succumbed to fate." Felix feigned a sad expression. "I wanted to see how strong he was, but he ruined the fun." He hissed.
"He lasted two hours," One of the guards announced.
"Oh," Felix shook his head. "Turns out my cousin wasn't as strong as I thought him to be."
"You're still the strongest!" The army chorused in Felix's praise.
Felix smirked proudly. He shot Leo one final look and turned to his guards. "Bring him down and feed him to the crows!"
"What about the girl?" One of the guards asked.
"She will be my slave."
"She will serve me and all of the pack."
"Yay!" All of the armies chorused happily and they all bowed to Felix.
"All hail the Alpha!!
"All hail Alpha Felix!!
"Enjoy yourselves. Let us celebrate our victory. We now have a home to call ours." Felix declared a feast.
"Hurray!" The army chorused again.
"Now let's make a toast to our new home," Felix raised his glass and his men followed suit. They all clinked their glasses with one another as they chorused loudly,
"Cheers!
"Cheers to the new Alpha!" The head guard shouted his toast to Felix and the rest of the pack followed suit.
"Cheers to the Alpha!"
A proud smile danced on Felix's face as he watch the people toast to him. He was proud to have finally become an Alpha instead of being tagged a rouge.
The rest of the survivors in the pack were dragged and made to kneel before Felix.
"Bow before your new Alpha!"
Snow stood still, watching as her home was ruined and taken over by Felix. She watched her friends get tortured and the female ones were defiled and forced to become wives to the rogues.
She watched her father get thrown into the fields, left alone as food for the crows. She watched her mother's body get dragged and taken to an unknown place.
Both her parents weren't given a proper burial deserving of them as the Alpha and Luna of the pack. They were treated like animals and this irked Snow.
"I will avenge you," She swore to her parents. "I will make them pay. Everyone of them!"
She gnashed her teeth and clenched her fist until her hands bled. Watching the damnation of her home and her entire family, her heart bled.
Juliet was dragged in along with the other survivors that were brought to Felix. She immediately went to Snow to comfort her.
"It's okay, dear."
"I couldn't do anything." Snow cried in Juliet's arms, finally letting her pain out. "I couldn't save them. I watched him ruin everything."
"Shh...." Juliet covered her Snow's mouth before someone would hear her.
"Don't say that, Snow. Someone might hear you." Juliet cautioned.
"I will kill him, I swear!" She repeated stubbornly.
"Yes, you will. You will revive the pack and chase out the rogues," Juliet assured her. "I trust you can."
"I could have. But Father wanted me to wait until I've come of age."
"Yes dear," Juliet nodded. "You can do it when you've grown up."
"I can do it now," Snow insisted.
"Snow, you mustn't forget that it was your father's will that you do not show your powers to anyone."
Snow didn't give a reply to Juliet's words. She was mad at herself that despite having so much powers, she still wasn't able to save her parents and the pack.
"It's not your fault, Snow," Juliet placed her hand on her head. She could tell that Snow was blaming herself.
Snow looked up as if she could see her father, then more tears rolled. out. "You wanted me to keep my powers hidden, didn't you?"
She nodded as her father's smiling face showed up in her mind. "Fine then, henceforth, I, Snow Harrison, have become powerless."
