Furry Kind of Love - Part 3

After the girls had set up all the tents, and the guys had set a nice fire going, we sat around it and, just talked. We talked about Ella mostly, and what we were doing in the mountains, and then we asked them what they were doing here.
"So, what are you guys doing in this neck of the woods?" Nico asked, eyes glinting at his pun. Thinking he was so freaking hilarious. At least Tae, Laea, Jensen and Lucas had the decency to smile politely.

"Well me and Laea come here every year, usually alone. But earlier this year we met these guys, so we came with them. We grew up here, in these mountains. Never had a family, never had a real house. We spent most of our time in wolf form, for protection. But about 5 years ago..." She swallowed, and Lucas laid a comforting hand on her shoulder, and she leaned against him.
It's these small gestures that show love.

"About 5 years ago, a man came to the cave where we slept, he placed a spell on us, so we were paralyzed. Then another man crept us. He was walking around us, speaking, almost chanting. The words don't leave us. We dream the same, and when one of us has the nightmare about this night, the other does too. It's always one of us who dream about it."

"What was he saying exactly?" Nyx wanted to know. She was always so curious.
"He wasn't speaking in English! He was saying this; Magna Gemini. I te inveni tandem, tandem ad vos mihi sacrarum bellatorum. Hoc statu perfecto."
"It only took a second for all of us but Katarina and Crystal to translated what she just said. We were all taught Latin at a very young age. Even Matt was taught it.

"He was saying, "The great twins. I have found you at last, and at last you belong to me, you sacred warriors. This stage is complete."
"That is so creepy." Llena squealed, leaning back into Nico's welcoming arms, that held her safely and securely.

"What happened next?" Nyx asked, leaning forward, entranced. I could just see her with a big bowl of popcorn on her lap, and her digging into it while we listened.

"Then he got a knife, and cut our faces. As soon as we could feel the blood, we also felt something tingling in our faces. We looked at each other, and our faces were... changing. We didn't look the same. We looked like what we look like now. Before we had our faces 'turned' we had pale white skin, brown eyes, and bright blonde hair. See how different we are? We didn't look Chinese either!" They laughed at how their appearances changed.

"We looked at the man, and he was ecstatic about how we were changing. He then said (still in Latin,) Nunc decora, legenda est tota, et cognosco esse vera. Oscula cum luna iterum ego ero vobis in vertice montis, in quinquennium tempus. somnus meus bene formis. We remembered this saying all too well. He said it so gleefully! It was well creepy." Tae said, shuddering.

"Can you translate it?" Jensen asked, speaking for the first time, I think.
"He was saying; 'Now my beauties, the legend is complete, and I know it to be true. I will be back for you when the moon kisses the mountain top, in five years time. Sleep well my beauties'."

"Ooooh! This is some creepy sh!t!" Nyx gabled, still eating the imaginary popcorn.
"But, it was 5 years, in 5 days! If that makes any sense to you guys!" Leae cried, looking obviously scared and worried about her and her sister's safety.
"Don't worry, we're here for you. We're journeying up the mountain, to retrieve Ella. You are still welcome to come," Katarina said calmly, her calm and comforting demeanor obviously set the girls at ease.
"Of course we're still coming. After all we've heard about this Ella, it would be rude not to meet her. And I want to see what happens. If anything goes wrong, we have back up this time." Tae said, levelheadedly.

But for now, it was time to sleep. We doused the fire, and crawled into our separate sleeping bags. We had to get a night's rest for whatever is to come.
