“Thank you so much, Claire for bailing us out of there and for inviting us to this lovely house.” Lyono appreciated her while admiring the place.
Claire was trying to study him. she smiled and nodded in acknowledgment. “It’s no bother. I was the one that got you guys arrested in the first place so it’s only logical that I got you out.” She wondered why Lyono’s face was covered in so much hair. She could barely see his face to get what he looked like.
May was excited to meet Collen. She sat with Collen at a corner talking and catching up while Lyono and Claire chatted about other things.
“Wow! Look at you, Raul. You’ve changed so much. What happened to the fierce and fiery Raul I used to know?” May was amazed.
Raul smiled. He was equally happy to see her. “It has been so many years.”
“Yeah…”
“And we have both changed so much,” Raul admitted.
Back in the mainlands, Flint had made a decree that prevents anyone from leaving the walls of the East wing. It was followed by punishment of death on sight for anyone who violates the law.This made it difficult for the young werewolf and his friends who wished to seek asylum in the Western aisles to move out. There was a curfew that lasted for twelve hours beginning from 6 pm after working hours that allowed citizens to go about their daily businesses.Every day, the young werewolf would gather his friends in his house before the curfew began to strategize on a plan to sneak out of the city. They were about ten of them, all young werewolves between the ages of twenty-one to twenty-five. They served in the palace before they were replaced with the human slaves turned werewolves.These young werewolves comprised of four females and six males. The mastermind amongst them was called Yutti. He used to serve as Flint’s assistant butler where his father was the
The three young werewolves got out of their disguise on arriving at their hideout to the surprised faces of their friends.“What happened?” they chorused in awe.“There is a change in the law.” One of them explained as he undressed himself to get into his own clothes.“There will be a general hunt day on Wednesdays from now on, says the soldier.” Another explained.“There will be monitoring going on in case anyone tries to escape.” The third male concluded.“They know of some escape plans but they do not know who the traitors are.” One of them added.“Oh no! that’s not good.” Yutti sat in disarray on the couch.“It’s not over.” Muna cut in from the corner where she sat.They all turned to listen to her as usual.“This is actually a good chance for all of us to make our escape at the same time.” She explained.
Raul invited May and Lyono to Tom’s place for a formal introduction. Heather was not home this time. She had traveled to spend some time with the boys so Tom was home alone. Though Ella visited often to check up on him and this day, they were both home and waiting for Raul and his friends to arrive.Ella was not much of a cook so they had ordered food for dinner. May and Lyono were going to have their first-ever feast of the human food in the human world. They sat at the table, ready to eat when Lyono displayed a very funny attitude by gulping his food really quickly. He spared no effort in gulping his food not caring whether or not he was watched or laughed at by his friends. All he wanted was to enjoy the meal in front of him.“You never had Chinese food before?” Ella teased.“No ma’am… this is good,” Lyono replied with his mouth full.“Unfortunately Ella, we do not have Chinese foods in the mainlands; wh
Virgil headed out of the house after they had returned that night. He got to the underground part of the alley that led to where he used to go for his secret meetings. He transformed when he was sure that no one was watching. The underground alley was an extremely lonely place. In fact, it was advised that citizens should keep off from the alley as it was a danger zone and risky because bad people often operate from there.There was even a huge board that read, Keep off, Danger zone in it. Virgil knew that he was capable of taking care of himself so he used this passageway often for his meetings. He approached the hidden hut in the bushes where an elderly woman lived. She practiced witchcraft and was an expert in it. She was almost one hundred and ninety years old. She used magic to keep herself vibrant and stronger.She could transform into a very pretty young lady and back to her normal self at will. She knew the priest well and she had told Virgil of how sh
Colleen had been worried since he heard the news of the overthrown mainlands. He was lying in his bed with Betty after they made love and was deep in thoughts. Betty had gone to take a shower and when she returned to join him in bed, she noticed that he was troubled.She caressed his muscle-built chest and asked in a soft voice. “What’s wrong, baby?”He gazed down at her, tightening his hug on her as he replied. “You worry too much. I’ll be fine.” He kissed her on the forehead softly and smiled.“I noticed that you were far away while we were making love. Was something on your mind?”“Yes but it’s not something that concerns you. Trust me, I’ll be fine.” Colleen reassured her as he got out of bed to take a shower. “I need to go take a shower.” He exhaled as he spoke.Betty was not convinced that he was alright. She wanted to know why Colleen never discussed his meet
At this, Claire was pissed. She had wanted to hear some gossip since she loved to gossip about silly things.“You just bothered my sleep for nothing.” Claire was disappointed and dropped the call on her end.“I’m sorry…” Betty whispered as she lay in bed smiling to herself.Betty could not wait the next morning to ask Collen all she had heard. She was dying to see the reactions on his face when she would mention she knew his true identity.Betty showed up at Collen’s workplace the next day. he smiled and waved at her and she waved back smiling. He was going on a break in the next few seconds so she waited outside for him while he prepared himself for the break.He finished his preparations and approached her with a wide smile on his face. It was almost as if nothing had happened to him. she was pleased to see him smiling after their ordeal last night. She knew that his friend and especially May must
Raul was upset with what he was hearing about Ella visiting Betty.“Well, she had mentioned that you loved me but I didn’t think for a second that she was capable of approaching you at your place.”“I wondered how she found me but now it’s all clear to me,” Betty added. “So she’s a werewolf too? She’s really scary.”Raul laughed and teased. “So she scares you? Did she transform in front of you?”“No she didn’t but her voice told a lot. At first, I thought that she was a witch or something but now I know.”Raul laughed.“I think she loves you. Raul.” She continued.At this, Raul’s smile turned to a frown.“She’s crazy if she thinks that she’s going to use her werewolf state to threaten me and steal my man.” Betty smacked.Raul was pleased that she said that. He was glad that she was determine
Ella had been thinking about what Betty had said days ago. She knew that Virgil was secretly seeing a witch who was excommunicated from the city long ago. She needed him to take her to see the witch so she could get some information on the supposed changer on the loose.Ella contacted Virgil as she used to when she was using him to gather information from the mainlands. She waited in their usual meeting spot in a lonely alley by the garden miles away from Raul’s workplace. Virgil showed up as usual. But this time, he was not smiling.“What is this about now? I told you that I wasn’t going to betray Collen anymore.”“This is not about Raul; so relax. In fact, you would do well to keep this secret away from him for now because it greatly affects you.” Ella defended.“What are you talking about?” Virgil frowned as he suspected she was referring to his secret meetings.“Well, let’s just say th
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.&
