“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
“Yes; we were. When I heard she was here and living a happy life, I missed having her around and it’s because of you that I’m able to have this chance.” She smiled at him. “Thank you.”Virgil nodded in silence.Immediately, they are interrupted by the barging in of some male werewolves who grab Hayley.“Hey; what’s going on?” Virgil asked in an attempt to release her from his grasp.“I have ordered.” The werewolf roared.Hayley struggled with the male but then stopped to listen to their conversation. She thought she was being adopted but then realized that she was summoned by the village priest. She had always wanted to meet this priest to understand his powers since she heard that they were kind of alike. So, she allowed the werewolf to carry her to the village priest’s place.Hayley sat in the village priest’s lair. It was full of weird kinds of stuff. She gazed
Modi was pleased to meet Hayley and welcomes her into his kingdom. May was seated beside him watching her alpha’s actions. Hayley’s eyes are fixed on May. She wondered how Raul could have lost such a lovely female. She was barely listening to Modi’s words. May, on the other hand, did not realize she was staring at her. She all smiles watching the scene and Hayley thought she made for a beautiful queen.“She has come in search of her sister, Queen May.” The priest announced while Hayley stood, head slightly bowed down.“Beauty seemed to run in this family.” Modi winked at his queen.May gazed at Hayley a little confused.“I have a sister?” she got on her feet and approached Hayley to take a close look at her.Hayley stared in silence hoping that this plan would not be a waste of her time. because if May remembered her in the slightest or even denies having a sister, it would be a failed plan.
The werewolves had left Lam for dead and scrammed.Raul howled in pain and returned to his human form with his dead minion in his arms.“Oh Lam!” he sobbed. “I’m so sorry… I was too late.”“My b-boss…” Lam managed a cough.“Shh….” Raul sobbed with Lam in his arms. “We’ll get you home and you’ll be alright.” He howls calling for help from his minions around the area.Lam coughed and tried to explain. “I’m sorry boss… I’ve f-failed you.”“Who did this to you?”“T-the priest.” Lam stuttered. “He’s, he’s…” Lam breathed his last and died.Raul was calm trying to piece what Lam had said when his other minions arrive in their werewolf forms and slowly approach him sobbing. Raul gets on his feet and walks away from them while the others howl in pain and
Modi gazed at him in confusion. He wanted to be angry but keeps his cool because he wanted to hear everything the priest had to say. He was upset that the priest had such information but conveniently kept it away from him all this time.“What does that mean?”“I saw you die in a war.” The priest lied. “I looked into the pot and I saw your death. It frightened me so much, I had to make moves to protect you.”Modi listened in silence, his heart beating fast. He has never thought of himself as someone who could easily be killed especially since he had the priest as a part of his pack.“Remember the Moon goddess foresaw a battle and I did show you earlier; a battle between you and your queen’s former lover. Though I didn’t see your death at the time, I did see that you would lose your queen to him. And that’s why I kept insisting you laid off the female but you insisted that you needed her.”
The priest was amazed to discover that Virgil had at one time dealt with an original. He chuckles as he continues to watch the image in the bowl of clouds.Meanwhile, Hayley was still in Virgil’s past and Virgil seemed to have gotten used to the exercise.Virgil arrived at Anna’s place and was amazed at what he saw. Her apartment was beautifully decorated with pictures on the wall, a beautiful set of cushions, artificial flowers and it smelled really nice.“Welcome to my humble home.” She smiled and headed straight into the kitchen leaving him in the living room to look around. She soon returned to find him sniffing her flowers.“You need to take a shower and change those clothes.”“I don’t have any other clothes,” Virgil replied gesticulating.“Yeah; I think I can help you with that.” She headed into one of the rooms in the apartment and Virgil followed behind her. “Thi
Virgil nodded in agreement speechless.“I’m sorry about what happened to you. I really wish I could help but I don’t understand how it works in your place. Giving you a good foundation is the best I can offer so you can be able to qualify for the best opportunities here. I hope you can accept it?”“You’re doing more than I ever expected already. Thank you so much, Anna.”“It’s nothing.”“I promise to be loyal to you.” He swore.This touched Anna so much, she paused her meal and turned to gaze at him slowly. She was surprised. No one has ever said such words to her before. She had never had any real friends and was pleased to hear Virgil make such a promise to her. She nodded in agreement and teased him saying, “I’ll hold you to that.”“I mean it.” He continued wearing a sober look. “No one has ever been this nice to me not even in my p
“Stop; please stop!” Virgil takes his hands from Hayley’s grip in tears. The memories have left him emotional. Hayley exhales and allows him the break. She watches him pitifully in silence.“It’s too much…” he sobs. “I miss her a lot.”“So what happened?” Hayley did not seem satisfied. She was enjoying the story and wanted to know how it ended. “Did you leave?”Virgil nods and sighs. “I had to. It was too risky for me to be there.”“Would you like us to continue?”“No!”“You can rest it out and we’ll continue some other time.” Hayley makes to leave him but he calls out in a small but sad voice.”I was so stupid… I never heard from her again. She is the reason why I am so educated and different from the others.”“You can still make amends to change all that, Virgil. You sti
Virgil is brought to Raul by his minions. Raul gazes at him on his knees and in a soft voice orders his minions to release him.“Let him go… he’s a friend. I’m sure Hayley sent you.”“Yes, my lord.” Virgil nods in agreement, his head a little bowed down.Raul’s minions release their grip on him and head back outside to wait at the entrance in case of anything.Raul invites Virgil to sit beside him and they begin a conversation.“I’m sorry about the way my boys treated you. they are not used to strangers barging into us.”“Oh, it’s ok. I understand.” Virgil agrees and laughs softly. “Thank you though for accepting to hear me out. I wasn’t sure I was in the right place. Hayley didn’t have the time to describe this place to me.”At this, Raul pauses and turns to face Virgil. “Is she in danger?”“Yes and no
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.&
