They carried me to Bazaar. I watched him with bitterness in my heart as he calm down a panicking crowd.
"Don't worry everyone. We are all safe. The wall will help protect us," he told them.
"Leader, we've caught the outcast," the guard who held me interrupted him.
Bazaar turned around. My face made in anger and my eyes motioned from his face staring at where his left arm was. During the battle between him and Alpha Deucalion, he lost his left arm. He was one-handed.
Bazaar walked up to me gravely. His eyes never left me as he did.
Silently, the crowd watched him.
"You are the cause of what is happening now, werewolf witch," he falsely accused me.
"You know I'm not," I retorted angrily, returning every one of his stares.
Bazaar was infuriated by my respond
"Cut her throat!" he ordered his men and spun around hastily walking away.
I was petrified when I saw the guard reaches for a knife from his side.
"You may kill me under one condition," I spoke terrified.
The guard's knife paused at my neck, My eyes lowered staring at the sharp blade ready to slice open the flesh of my throat. My heart races and my lips quiver.
Bazaar stopped. His back still turned towards me.
"Are you scared?" I asked trying to be brave.
I wasn't. I was only buying enough time to make my plan a success and that was to reveal to everyone that he was a werewolf. I knew if I told everyone without any proof. They would never believe me. I'll have to prove it to them.
"Kill her, now" he again ordered the guard.
"Are you afraid of doing it yourself or scared to lose another arm?" I said quickly
"Let me put a stop to her on my own. I'll surely enjoy doing so."
Bazaar stopped the guard before he could kill me.
He ran towards me and grabbed me from the guard. His hands sink into the flesh of my hand ready for the kill. Before he could, I threw the bottle of wolf's bane into his face.
Bazaar quickly motioned from me and his eyes began to shift. He covered his face trying to hide his true identity.
"He's a werewolf!" a female screamed.
Everyone was now seeing what he truly his.
"The witch turned him into one," the female again screamed.
I was appalled at her remark.
"Do you see what she has done? Bazaar tried to fight the wolf's bane effect on his body.
Unlike Kate, his body was strong enough to fight back. The wolf's bane was not enough to kill him.
I looked around in disbelief as I saw everyone back away from me, fearing I would turn them too also into a werewolf.
"I didn't turn him into a werewolf. I used wolf's bane to show you all he is a werewolf pretending to be us," I protested.
"She's lying, Kill her at once. Shoot her with your arrows!"
I threw the small empty bottle of wolf's bane to the guard I stole it from. He looked at it realizing it was his.
"Bazaar is a werewolf and he's the uncle of the blood-eyed werewolf, Alpha Deucalion. He had been fooling us to believe that his nephew was the cause of thousands of humans being killed for he's not strong enough to kill him on his own and so he uses us to find a weakness to kill him," I informed everyone.
"Shut up!" yelled Bazaar. "Kill her I say," he again commanded.
The guards and the crowds were believing every word that came from my mouth. On their faces, I saw doubt about their leader.
"All along he had been wearing that cloak and gloves, he had forced a witch to make, to protect himself from wolf's bane," I again told everyone.
"Shut up!" growled Bazaar.
Everyone was frightened so was I by his powerful growl.
"I've had enough of you weak humans. I'm going to put an end to you all for once."
Bazaar shifted into his grey beast. The crowd ran for their life while the guards tried to attack him. They failed one by one. He was too powerful for them. I began to run as I saw him running after me.
"I'm going to enjoy killing you," I heard him behind me.
My right foot hit a rock and I fell. I sat up scared and screamed as I saw Bazaar's sharp teeth coming from my head. Suddenly he was sent flying into some houses destroying them. I smiled seeing Alpha Deucalion had again rescued.
"You were not supposed to be here," he scolded me.
"Everyone knows he's not human," I told Alpha Deucalion.
He ran to Bazaar as he saw him get up and they began to fight. Some werewolves protectors and guards who were lucky to escape Bazaar stood watching the battle.
"You all see, Bazaar was the threat to us all," I tried to make them see.
The war was soon through with Alpha Deucalion and Bazaar. He killed his uncle by ripping his head from his body.
Alpha Deucalion walked from his lifeless uncle's body. Werewolf protectors aimed arrows absorbed with wolf banes at him.
"No, the war between werewolves and humans has now ended," I quickly stood before Alpha Deucalion, protecting him.
Their arrows slowly lowered. And everyone exited their home.
"You're all safe now," I told them.
"You humans are now free to travel along the forest. My pack will be of no harm to you," Alpha Deucalion declared.
They nodded as they stared at him.
Alpha Deucalion ran and jumped from the high wall returning to his pack. I watched him until I no longer saw him.
"Who will be our leader now?"
Everyone was now worried.
"Will you be the new leader?" a female approached me.
I was speechless by her remark. I was far too young to be a leader. I had no experience.
"I can't," I retorted.
"You can be, you did a brave thing revealing who Bazaar was," the werewolf protector, I stole the small bottle of wolf's bane said to me.
He then introduced himself. His name was Daniele.
"I can teach you," he told me.
I nodded accepting the offer.
I was now the new and young leader of the land.
My mom and I hugged happily reconnecting. She was bursting into tears seeing me again.
Delaphine came to see me after I assumed she was the one who called the guards on me. It turned out she didn't do so. Daniele, the werewolf protector saw when I was running away and was the one who came looking for her. I felt relieved knowing that my best friend didn't actually betray me.
