Hayley had developed a strong bond with her sister, Kara. Such that she had never enjoyed even while with her brother, Lucas. She had spent such a long time there that she almost forgot about Stan. It has been a few weeks since she moved over to the mayor’s house and she was enjoying all the privileges attached to being the mayor’s family member.
Stan on the other hand went on with his life. Though he missed Hayley and called her often, he did not want to get heartbroken again. He decided to take a few days off into the main city area where he spent a few days trying to entertain himself. He walked into a restaurant to get himself some fast food and relax while he was sober. Raul approached him to take his order. Apparently, he had walked into Raul’s workplace.
He smiled at Stan and took his order. He somehow felt the need to be close to this particular customer, after all, he was almost done with work for the day. He went on to prepare Stan&rsq
Hayley sat with her sister to dinner. She suddenly thought about Stan and wondered why he had not been taking her calls. She was silent at the table and Kara noticed it.“You’re awfully quiet today; something wrong, little sis?”“Um… nothing serious. I was just thinking about…” Hayley managed a smile.“Stan?” Kara cut in quickly.Hayley exhaled and rolled her eyes. “Please don’t say he’s my boyfriend again.”“But then what is he? He’s your boyfriend if you’re worried about him like this.” Kara argued.“I’m just worried that he may be in trouble. He never misses my call but he’s not been taking it these few days.” Hayley tried to defend herself.“What kind of trouble would a grown man like Stan be in?” Kara teased. “He’s been taking care of himself all these years even without you or hi
Lucas had imprisoned his luna for weeks in the dungeon and has refused to see her even for an explanation. He spends most of his time in Modi’s territory forging a strategy to infiltrate Flint’s territory. They had no idea that Flint and the priest had become very close. They made their plans devoid of Flint’s new affairs. This was a good distraction for Lucas who was suffering from being betrayed.Modi visited his place this time and met him in his lair, looking unkempt. He entered Lucas’ lair, led by one of his minions, and found him sitting on a chair, topless and almost pale.“Hey, Lucas!” Modi greeted him softly.Lucas tilted his head slightly to find Modi standing beside him, looking worried. “Any news of Flint?” he asked.Modi exhaled and sat beside him on a chair. “Haven’t seen you in days so I decided to come to see you myself. I sent word to you but didn’t get any response.&
Stan cuddled Hayley on the couch where they sat together watching a movie and chatting over a bottle of wine. Stan told her about his trip but did not mention Raul as promised.“It was torture; being away from you.” He concluded and gave her a soft kiss on the forehead.Hayley smiled and looked up at him. “Why did you leave without calling me? Is there something I should know?”“Um…” he was mumbling. “I-I… I guess I just missed you so much. I couldn’t stand the thought of losing another love since you never showed up as promised.” He paused. “You promised to visit me every weekend, remember?”She scoffed. “Stan!?”“I know; I know…” he cut in. “I was overthinking it. I’m sorry.”“No; that’s not what I was going to say,” Hayley replied softly. She caressed his face gently and continued in her sweete
Raul did not yet develop the courage to talk to Betty. He had not visited Tom and Heather in a while. He was too busy working or worrying about Hayley. He sat in bed at exactly 6 am gazing at the paper that had Hayley’s number in it which Stan had given to him the other day.He thought about calling her but hesitated for lack of words. He did want to call her because he missed her so much and wanted to know what was up with the priest since she was the last one to see him. He ran his hands through his hair because he was overwhelmed. Immediately, there was a knock on the door. He noticed that his friends, Kal and Virgil were still fast asleep so he had to get the door himself.He wondered who it was coming so early in the morning. He took a peep through the door’s peephole and saw Ella standing there. He had almost forgotten about her and their last encounter that almost broke him and Virgil because he thought that he was deceiving and lying to him.
Ella managed to locate Betty’s apartment that morning and went over. She knocked on the door and Betty answered. She was looking a little weak.“Yes; who are you?” she asked in her husky voice.“Hi! I’m a friend of Collen’s.” Ella replied putting up a fake smile at her.Betty took a good look at her and recalled seeing her once at Claire’s when Raul and his friends still lived there. She managed to put up a smile and then opened the door to allow her in.“Hi! I just wasn’t expecting anyone; that’s why I’m surprised.”“I know,” Ella replied walking in gallantly. She gazed around Betty’s apartment to find that it was a small and messy apartment.“Please sit here.” Betty dusted the couch and Ella felt indulged as she sat trying to conceal her irritation. Betty sat on her bed after trying to pick up her clothes scattered arou
Lucas sat by his luna’s bed every day watching her sleep and regain her strength. He was deep in thoughts and did not see her open her eyes. She turned her head slowly to gaze at him and saw him thinking.“Hey!” she called weakly. “Where are you?”Lucas quickly turned to gaze at her and smiled. “I’ll go get the caretakers so you can get something to eat.” He made to get up when she held his hands gently.“Please stay here with me.” She begged and tried to sit up straight. Lucas helped her balance by placing a pillow behind her to get her to seat comfortably.“There you go.” He smiled and sat back on the chair beside her bed.She smiled at him softly. “Thanks.” She paused to gaze at him. “I haven’t spent time with you in a long while. It feels like forever, my love. Please stay.”“Sure, I’ll be right here with you.”S
Hayley laid in bed watching the phone ring countless times. Kara came up to meet her to know why she was letting the phone make so much noise. She entered her room to find Hayley staring and watching the phone ring.“Why aren’t you answering the phone?” Kara asked in surprise.“I don’t want to pick up,” Hayley replied, her face devoid of all emotions as she fiddled with her fingers.Kara felt concerned and wondered why her little sister was so afraid of being married which was not very different from the Moon Dance ceremony they celebrate in their world as werewolves where the alpha is united with a female for a mate.Kara exhaled and sat beside Hayley. “Hayley; what’s wrong? The poor guy is worried sick about you. You’re making him feel like he’s asked you for something out of this world.” She gesticulated. “It’s just marriage, darling. It’s not hell.”&ldquo
Hayley spent almost twenty minutes with Kara and the governor, listening to stories of the human world and all he knew of their world. They were sipping wine while they talked and all Hayley could think of was a chance to get close to take his hand again for a clearer vision of his past.Something about him did not feel right to Hayley. She just wondered what would have brought the governor and her sister so close to having him in on all their deepest secrets.“You seem far from us, Hayley. Something on your mind?” the governor asked trying to change the subject. He noticed that Hayley had something different from the ordinary and wanted to explore it further.“Oh no, sir,” Hayley replied with a sarcastic smile. “I was just admiring all your achievements. I wish I could do the same in my own time.”“Oh c’mon dear, I know you feel like your sister has made a huge mistake letting me in on all your secrets but
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.&
