The governor took a seat as he knew that it was going to be a very long conversation. He told Raul all that had happened from the massacre he watched on television to the president’s visit to his house.
Raul recalled what Ella had said while they were discussing Hayley’s visions. He wondered why he had not stopped Tom from attending that meeting. He began to feel guilty and responsible for bringing them out of the president’s trap.
“I could have stopped them from attending that meeting,” Raul emphasized.
“This is not your fault, Raul.” The governor tried to console him.
“I am responsible for their safety and I have failed. How can I do anything without them? They have been like family to me; a family that I never had.” Raul began to sob.
Soon, Hayley walked in on their call at the sound of Raul’s voice and asked.
“What’s going on, Raul? Who are you talking to?&rdqu
The governor could not stop thinking about what he had just heard from Raul. He had run out of options and also had Kara to worry about. His conversation with Hayley on contacting the werewolf god was fruitless since he could not get her to reach him.Hayley had explained to him how impossible it was for her to reach the werewolf god. The governor thought it was time to set things right with the priest. He believed that Raul’s idea to call the priest to a round table for a talk was quaint so he made it his business to ensure that Raul does not get further news on what happens in the world of the originals so he could concentrate on what happens in the mainlands.Meanwhile, Claire could not reach Kal for days since the massacre incident in the meeting room. She still had no idea of who Kal was but was amazed to know that werewolves existed. She tried to understand what Raul, Virgil, and Kal were always discussing when they were together which they ne
Claire watched the man pace around the room as she still insisted on denying any knowledge of the dress. The dress she knew belonged to Betty but she wondered what Betty had to do with werewolves.Could she have met a werewolf? Or did she just borrow her dress to one? Betty does not know about werewolves. She thought to herself. She was sure that Betty knew nothing.“I swear to you. I don’t know anything about this dress.” She lied. “What’s with it anyway?”“It belongs to a friend of yours.” The man replied.“Yes,” Claire responded.“Then tell me, what is a werewolf doing as your friend?” the man asked.“Excuse me?” she scoffed.“Don’t play coy.” The man was pissed. “If you don’t want to play the easy way, then we can play the hard way.” He signaled his men to surround her while he sat in front of her, watch
The governor was getting to Claire with his words so she took a deep breath and answered his question.“I guess the latter would be easy.”“You see; so you must be understanding of your friends and protect them rather than hate them.” the governor advised.“But how can I do that? The president is murdering all those in support of their existence. It’s an all-out war and I have no powers. What can I do now? I’m just a mere human.” Claire responded.The governor was pleased that he had successfully imputed into her the idea of forgiveness. Now, he just had his own problems to think about. But then, there was a sudden noise outside of his house. He gazed outside the window in his room to find the presidential fleet outside of his house. He became upset because he knew that they were there because of Claire.He turned to Claire and asked in anger. “You brought the presidential task force to my house
Claire sat and listened to the argument between the president and the governor. She took a quick stare at the men standing behind them and they seemed not to be interested in what was going on. They kept straight faces and did not bulge. It was almost as if nothing was happening.Then suddenly, there was silence and she turned to gaze at the president who chuckled and asked the governor.“Why are you so passionate about these animals?”The governor swallowed hard. He gazed at him in silence.“If I hadn’t known your kids I would have sworn that perhaps one of them was a changeling.” The president continued.The governor gazed briefly at Claire who gazed back at him in anticipation. She was anxious to hear what the governor’s excuse would be for supporting the werewolves.“Or is it a friend? Because I know your wife is not a werewolf.” The president continued.The president suddenly paused
Hayley and Kara sat at the foot of the Moon goddess as she narrated the story to them. “I used to be like you all many, many centuries ago. I think it’s like five thousand now.” The Moon goddess began. “Wow!” Hayley exclaimed. “I guess I was still information then.” Kara teased. “I was never even imagined to be born,” Hayley added. They all laughed and the Moon goddess continued. “Actually, none of you were in formation then.” She sighed and exhaled as she recalled with a demonstration using clouds to show demonstration to them. Hayley and Kara were wowed as they watched the images floating in the air as the Moon goddess narrated her story. Hayley recalled seeing something similar with the priest and his bowl of clouds except that in this case, they were not live people but images made from the clouds. “We were young and in love.” The Moon goddess continued. “I was just a young human at the time.” “Wow! You were
“Why did he really come back?” Hayley seemed to be enjoying the story.The Moon goddess sighed and looked at her images in the air and recalled the day it happened. “He seemed very tensed the day he returned to me. I wasn’t exactly happy to see him back but he kept insisting that he missed me and to be honest, I did miss him too. Little did I know that he ran back to the mainlands to escape the war that had broken out in the world of the originals because the humans there were frightened of the creatures they did not expect to be living amongst them.”“The werewolves!” Hayley repeated.“Yes, the werewolves.” The Moon goddess replied. “He had started a family there too and he made babies with the human female but, as I heard, he didn’t convert them but they had some werewolf kids. I believe he did something to those children after their birth; he probably didn’t want to settle with their moms
The governor and Claire had managed to escape the president and his soldiers. He had now arrived at the borders of the city and was free to return to his human form since he was no longer threatened.They approached the center of the woods in the border and the governor thought he should take a rest there since they were no longer in danger. He relaxed on the floor and Claire could not but imagine how a governor turned into a fugitive for being different.She sat beside him and watched him as he was panting. She opened her knapsack and brought out a bottle of water which she gave to him.“You had water with you?” the governor asked in surprise.She shrugged her shoulders and replied. “Uh well… we have something to carry us until we get to Raul’s village. I had to preserve this from the meal your servants served me back at your mansion.”The governor smiled in appreciation as he took the bottle and gulped it. He
Tom and Heather were locked up in a secret room at the presidential quarters. Heather was made to watch her husband lay on a bed, stripped and used as a guinea pig for their experiments.She was so weak from screaming and worrying whenever the mean soldiers came in with the lab scientist in charge of his experiments to take parts of him for their test jobs. She was also strapped to the wall like an animal. Tom was strong so he was able to endure his pain and still look out for his wife.“I’m sorry, baby.” he managed to bloat out in a small voice and tears circling his eyes.Heather raised her head slowly to gaze at him from her end.He continued since he had gotten her attention. “I’m sorry to have gotten you involved in my ordeal.”She was shaking her head slowly.“This wouldn’t have happened to you if you had not married me.” He continued.She kept shaking her head briskly and mu
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.&
