CHAPTER SIX… (May)
Back at the Western aisles, Lucas tortured his prisoner from Raul’s team. A female called, May. She was rumored to be Raul’s favorite female. Lucas had been torturing her since the battle. She was now looking shattered and pale; severely wounded.
Lucas took a seat in front of her. His face was pale and unkempt. His beard was long and bushy. His clothes were rough and his hands blistered.
May hung between life and death; hands tied up in the air. She was looking so sickly.
“You will never get anything from me.” She managed a whisper and snorted.
Lucas gazed up at her tiredly.
“You know why you’re still alive?” Lucas asked in irritation. “Because I haven’t heard anything yet about my sister.”
May laughed out loud.
“W-what’s so funny?” Lucas asked breathing hard.
“Your sister is already dead. Raul has no use for her so he couldn’t have kept her alive all this time.”
May opened her eyes to find that she was in a strange place. She sighted the priest sitting and rocking his chair smoking pot.“Hey!” she called out in confusion.“Oh you’re awake?” the priest headed towards her smiling.“Don’t touch me.” May pulled back in fear panting hard. “Who are you and where am I?”“You don’t remember?” the priest took a good look at her.“No…”“You came to us asking for help from some outlanders who were chasing you.”May paused and tried to recall.“Yes; I did escape them.” She paused and touched her tummy like she was searching for something. The priest watched her in curiosity.“My baby?”“Baby?”“My baby? Yes; I was pregnant. What happened to my baby?” she cried, tears circling her eyes.“You had no child when y
The priest collected his payment of coins in a small bag and nodded in agreement.“Do I have your word on this; that she will remain like this for as long as I want?”“You have my word, my liege.”“Thank you. Everything’s going to be fine. I promise you.”The following day, Modi ordered servants to get May ready to attend a ceremony as his personal guest. May was dressed up to look even more beautiful than she ever imagined. May had green eyes and really short hair. She had the stature of a male but the face of an angel. She was not a striking beauty but she was tough, smallish with sexy lips.May was escorted to meet Modi at the ceremony and wowed the audience. There was a pause and silence as she walked past the hall. She was shy but maintained a calm look until she approached Modi’s seat. She curtseyed and Modi led her by the hand to her seat
Raul laughed out loud watching Hayley get beat in the game. It was a pool fight game and Raul loved to watch the game. Werewolves are picked randomly to challenge another of their choice and they both battle for the title of strongest.It is a system usually used to train warriors in preparation for a battle. It is also a means used to train and get fit for a battle and it is also a fun game. Either way, it existed to separate the strong from the weak and Raul never misses a game because he also uses it as a means to inspect fighters and also test for whoever is stronger than he is.Hayley struggled to win while her competitor works hard to get first place. Raul was enjoying this. He loved to watch Hayley get severely beaten by another female. His laughter was the loudest as he teased her in the game.“C’mon Hayley; get up and fight. You’re not going to let a weakling torment you like that; are you?” Raul taunted her.T
Raul sat in his room circled by his minions giving reports on duties he had assigned to them weeks earlier. Hayley approached his room humming her favorite song Alisha keys, Girl on Fire when she sighted Raul and his minions in an argument in his room. She paused at the door to take a look and overheard fragments of their dialogue.“It was her, master. I saw her with my own eyes.” One of his minions argued.“Yes master, she even looked happy with him.” Another added.“Here is the video clip, sir.” One-handed him a device playing the video recording they had captured of May and Modi having fun together. Raul watched in silence.Hayley studied his expression. She could feel a little bit of sadness in her eyes as he watched the video. Then she wondered if she was his mate.“Alright.” Raul stopped the video and looked up at his minions. “I’m glad she’s ok. She looks happy and th
“Ok, why? You don’t love her anymore?”“Love her?” he laughed. “We were just…” he rolled his eyes like he was thinking of the word to use.“Best friends?”“I guess you can say that.”Hayley shakes her head with a smile.“What? You think you know any better?”“What?” Hayley shrugged her shoulders. “I think you’re just scared to admit what you feel.”“I know myself and I definitely can tell my feelings. Thank you.”“Ok… if that’s your story.”After a few moments of silence, she continued. “You know, you never told me about her.”“Because there is nothing to tell.” He was direct.“Would you like me to look into it?” she was trying to be nosy.Raul snapped. “Why are you so interested in this? Do you like me or som
Modi and May were out in the bushes as they usually did whenever they wanted some privacy alone. They have both grown so attached in months since May’s arrival to their pack.Modi kissed May on the lips briefly and smiled at her.“Thank you.”“For what?” she smiled back at him.“For coming into my life.” Modi was a little shy; he avoided looking into her eyes while speaking to her.May chuckled like a baby. “I don’t know what to say to that but you’re really sweet.”“Ok… but I want to know. Are you happy here?”“Of course I am, Modi.”“And do you… like me?”“I love you, Modi.” She threw her hands around his neck and hugged him into a kiss. Modi kissed her lying on the grass and May on top of him.“I want you to be happy.”“I am happy.”“Can I as
Raul and about nineteen of his minions sat on a round table in a meeting to discuss reports he was given concerning May and her new life.Raul was seated, surrounded by the males in his minions as he listened to their reports, hands-on his chin as he caressed his beard in thoughts.“Hmm…” he nodded slowly. “So she did; huh?” Raul was concerned. “Has it been confirmed that she lost her memory? I mean are you sure about that?”Raul finds it difficult to believe what he is hearing about May’s memory loss condition.“It is confirmed, boss.” One of his minions replied carefully choosing his words.“But how?” Raul sat up in shock. “Did you find out what happened?”“Our sources say that she arrived their territory looking really beat up.” Another male narrates. “I mean she lost a baby and was nearly beaten to death by Lucas’ men. She barely
“I thought about all you said last night and I thought to myself,” Hayley replied soberly. “That I was just being hard on myself and you… I really shouldn’t be beating myself over something that is a past issue and moves on.”Coleen is silent. He listened to her, his eyes fixed on her.“I know you and May have a history together and I admire your concern for her. I wish my brother or anyone else for that matter would do the same for me.” She chuckled. “So, I just feel like since I can’t help my brother anymore and I’m here now, I could do my bit to help out. Starting with this.”Raul’s face lightened up with a bright smile. Hayley blushed and turned her face away from his gaze.“Why do I think there’s something else you’re not telling me?”“You don’t believe me?”“I don’t know. I just… I don’t unde
Raul could not contain his surprise at what the soldier was telling him. He really did want to grant the soldier his wish but he also wanted to go to the city to meet with the scientist. “So what are you saying now? That you won’t take me to the scientist?” Raul wanted to be clear. At this, the soldier tried to get on his feet. Raul watched him in silence. Then the soldier saluted him and recited. “You are the president we know, Raul. I am at your service. My men and I swear our allegiance to you from this moment on. All I am asking sir is that you let us serve you.” Raul sighed in satisfaction and turned to face the others who smiled back at him. He could see the sincerity and determination in his eyes then he said to him. “At ease.” The soldier managed to stand at ease with his hands behind his back. Raul said with a wide smile. “You and your brothers and family are welcome to live here with me but as free people and not a servant. You will
“I told you he was shady.” Lucas reminded Raul of his words.Raul said nothing but approached Salman and said out loud.“Hey!” he called him.Salman gazed at him in silence.“I am Raul and I am your opponent in this fight. You will not harm any of my friends today coz today is the day you die.” Raul said in confidence.Salman laughed out loud and replied. “You, kill me? I hope to see the day.”“And today will be the day,” Raul concluded with a roar as he transformed.Salman and the others were wowed because Raul seemed different. Danny had promised to combine some of his powers with Raul’s so he would win the war and defeat his enemies. So when Raul transformed, he looked like a divine being, and even Salman was shaken by the view.“What is this?” Salman asked in awe.“I am the one they call the prince in the night.” the voice sound
The president gasped in fear and the scientist could hear his gasps of fear. He laughed and continued.“Meet my son, Salman. He was my first successful werewolf creation. He is programmed to destroy and eat anything that crosses his path. His hunger is never fully quenched so be sure not to cross his path because even you will be torn to pieces.”“You will pay for this.” The president yelled.“Farewell, Mr. President. I’ll see you in hell.” The scientist cut the call.The president watched as Salman began to tear his soldiers apart because they were shooting at it. Raul and his men just stood still. Raul realized that it was not the werewolf god after all and he was careful not to stand in its way. He watched the creature tear them to pieces and some it ate. “Don’t shoot at him.” The president instructed his men.The soldiers stopped and Salman paused to see who he would eat
Not long after Lucas joined in the fight seeing that his colleagues were losing to Thomas I; the president’s helicopter landed in the middle of the field and he came down to taunt them.“Who leads this great country?” he asked after taking a long look at the werewolves in their werewolf forms. Thomas, I walked majestically to stand behind him as he spoke to protect him from any harm.The werewolves were silent for a while. They did not say anything in response to the president’s question. They were surprised to see him as some of them had never seen him before.“I ask again; who is the leader here?”There was silence for a while and then Raul came forward and spoke up in his werewolf form. “I am.”The president gazed at him and said. “Please approach me in a more palatable form. I know you guys have two forms so I’d rather you address me in your other form please.”Raul did no
Everyone turned to gaze at Lucas who stood watching them and wondering what was going on.“Why are you all staring at me like that?” Lucas asked.Everyone was dumbfounded. Lucas saw Kara lying lifeless and soaked in blood in the governor’s arms. He rushed towards him and carried her from the governor’s arms sobbing.“What happened to her?” he yelled between sobs.“S-she was hit and died from the wounds.” The governor replied between sobs as he stepped back to allow Lucas access to his sister.“What!?” Lucas did not quite understand. He did not realize that there was a war going on while he was asleep for months.“You have been in a coma for months.” The witch explained.“What?” Lucas was confused. “Comma?”“Yes, you too were hit by the war tank when the priest was still fighting against us,” Raul explained.At this
Hayley watched from the rooftop with her sister as the war went on outside the city gates on the fields between the Southern aisles and the Western aisles.Kara saw how worried her sister was. she approached her and hugged her from behind. “You seem worried. You need to rest.”Hayley sighed and replied. “It’s not the war I’m afraid of. It’s what I’ve seen just now that frightens me.”At this, Kara was interested. She stood in front of Hayley and asked. “What; you saw another vision?”“Yes. I did.” Hayley replied.“Tell me sister; what did you see?” Kara was anxious. She hoped that it would be good news that could revert her death.“I saw another creature coming to the mainlands. This one is meant to wipe everyone out including the president’s soldiers.”At this Kara was speechless.“I saw death across this field and I can
The president sat in his office watching from a large screen as the soldiers and the clones invaded the mainlands. The scientist had connected his system to the screen to enable the president a clearer view of what was going on.The scientist had inserted chips on all the clones so they could monitor and view their movement as well as pass information to them when necessary. The president was amazed by the development. He was even more amazed at the size of the mainlands. He never expected it to be this huge. He had always thought that the mainlands was a forest filled with wild animals. He was amazed to see that it was a developed little village.“This place is a wonder.” The president exclaimed. “It is good for us to make it a dumping ground for all our experiments.”The scientist gazed at him briskly but said nothing.Then the president asked. “I don’t see Thomas I. where is he?”“Oh, he’s go
The priest was expecting them as he had already listened to them through his bowl of clouds. He knew that the clones were trouble but he needed them as allies in fulfilling his quest so he devised a plan really quick to fight alongside Raul and his friends to secure the mainlands and defeat the president while he would search for means to gain access and control of the clones.He was certain that someone was controlling the clones and he was determined to find out who it was controlling them using his alliance with Raul and his friends to get information. Soon, Modi arrived and the priest asked the servant to let them in which he did.Modi stood at the entrance of the priest’s lair in silence. The priest still stood over his bowl of clouds looking inside and ignoring Modi’s presence.“I can smell you, Modi. I know why you have come. I saw and heard it all.” The priest began without gazing at him.“Good!” Modi remarked k
The scientist was watching from his system where he was monitoring the clone. He observed that it had somehow lost its signal and knew that it was dead. He turned to face the president who was anxiously gazing at him for positive answers.“We have lost him, sir.” The scientist confessed.“Hmm…” the president sighed. He went to take a seat and continued. “But I thought you said that it could not be defeated.”“Yes but it’s still vulnerable to die especially if burned as I suspect it was.” the scientist defended himself.The president was silent for a while and said nothing. Then he caressed his chin and asked. “Where is the first project anyway?”“He has been stored away safely and used to clone the others.” The scientist responded.“Bring him in. he should lead the others…” the president ordered but was cut short by the scientist.&
