The world of the originals was like heaven for Raul. He had started adapting to their way of life and almost forgot his purpose for the visit to the human world. He finally moved to his new apartment with the help of Tom and Heather who assisted him in getting the place. Claire also helped him move. It was a weekend and school was closed for the weekend.
Kal was there too, he was moving boxes from the truck into the apartment. It was a small apartment but it had everything anyone would need in a home and most importantly, it was comfortable. Virgil was there too; he was also moving boxes from the truck to the apartment while Heather and Claire did the cleaning and arrangement.
Raul and Tom helped with fixing some broken parts in the apartment. It was a full house and by evening, they were famished. They ordered pizza and some drinks to relax and quench their hunger. Raul was with Tom, Heather with Claire while Kal and Virgil were together in one corner of the house.
Raul headed over to Ella’s house early the next day, hours before his resumption time. He was lucky to find her still in her nightdress. She smiled on seeing him at the door looking desperate.“I knew you would come.” She smiled and took a set in the kitchen sipping from her cup of coffee. “Need coffee?”“No thanks; this is important,” Raul replied following her behind. He stood across the kitchen table gazing at her. “Your father said you have some information for me.”She smiled and then reached for the papers on the table which she tossed towards him. He picked it up and scanned through the front page briskly.“What do you see?” she asked in curiosity.”“I see…” he was turning the pages and then paused at the sight of something that looked like Hayley’s picture in one of them.Ella noticed his reaction to the news and was reading his expressio
Flint visited the priest’s lair often since then, this time with some of his slaves as escorts. But he no longer had to hide nor send spies to watch the priest anymore. Flint had it at the back of his mind that the priest was not trustworthy and could betray him at any time as he did Modi so he threaded with care while he was with the priest.The priest in turn knew that he could not trust Flint with his secrets but since they had an agreement and Flint had something he needed so badly, he made it his mission to keep Flint close to him, no matter the cost.Flint had a habit of making himself comfortable anywhere he found himself whether with friends or foes. So he was already comfortable with the priest though he knew nothing about the priest’s plans nor had he seen the slaves in the open field and the object they were building. The priest made sure to hide that part from him.Flint was not ready to be defeated by an original; he detested them and th
Raul arrived home from work that night with Betty. He met Virgil sitting outside the house listening to some music and playing hand-held video games. On seeing him he remembered what Ella had told him the previous day. He allowed Betty into the house while he spoke with Virgil.“Hey Virgil!” he tapped him gently on the shoulder to call his attention. Virgil took off the earpiece and smiled at Raul.“When did you get back?” Raul asked with a straight face.Virgil replied still smiling. “Oh, not too long ago.”“If I asked you what you’ve been up to, would you tell me the truth?” Raul went straight to the point.“Sure brother. What’s going on?” Virgil took off the earpiece, turned off the music, and dropped it on the bench beside him. He knew something was wrong but he didn’t know what it was.“You tell me.” Raul was leaning on the pavement behind Virgil.
Betty still had the thought of Hayley on her mind. She was bent on finding out all about her that she went to a paper shop after leaving Raul’s apartment that morning. She entered the shop and asked the seller for the old papers to go through them. She sat down and scanned through them as carefully as she could.She spent over two hours searching all the papers she was given but did not find anything about Hayley in it. The seller realized she was concentrating on her search for something so vigorously. She approached Betty and asked with a smile.“Something I can assist you with, lady?”Betty gazed at her a little disturbed and replied. “Yes please…” she paused and licked her lips thinking of how best to place her words so she doesn’t appear like a stalker. “I was looking for the paper that carried the news of some mayor who celebrated a reunion with her long-lost sister. Do you happen to know where that particul
Raul arrived home from work, tired and hungry. He’d had a long day at work and needed to order for himself some fast food. So he made a phone call to place the order and decided to hit the shower. He was in the shower when he noticed that someone had entered his house.He could perceive that it was Claire and he called from the bathroom.“Claire, is that you?”“Where are you, Raul? And how did you know it was me?” Claire replied in surprise.“I’m in the shower. What’s going on? What are you doing here, this late?” Raul smiled as he rounded up his bath. “Kal isn’t here now.”“Yeah… I didn’t come to see Kal.” Claire confessed taking a seat in the living room to wait for him. “By the way, where’s everybody?”“They should be back soon. Virgil and Kal are at Tom’s,” he replied as he got out of the bathroom in jeans
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.&
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.&
