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
Hayley opened her eyes to find herself in the priest’s lair. She hurriedly gets on her feet and looking around tries to recall the last scene she had been in before she passed out. She remembered that after the priest threatened to take away Virgil and her memories, Virgil escaped and the priest hit her hard with his magic stick before she could transform or retaliate and that was how she passed out. She tried to test herself to see if she could remember anything for fear of being amnesic. Luckily, she could remember Raul, he was the first person she could think of at the moment. Then Virgil, May, and the rest of her team. She smiled in satisfaction and went straight out in search of the priest to scold him for bringing her to his lair. She finds May, Modi, and the priest seated at a round table looking sober. “Did somebody die?” she speaks up to alert them of her presence just in case she was the reason they were sober. Immediately, they turn to face her in surprise
Raul and his team arrived in the human world, now in their human form and they meet a bonfire as it is a form of celebration for some in the human world. There was music and dancing and lots of females and sex going on. They passed and tried to ignore the scene and came out to an open road. “Where to now?” Kal asked a little impatient. “Relax Kal…” Virgil tried to convince him to keep calm but he cut in rudely, gasping and breathing hard. “I’m starving, Virgil. We have been on this journey for five days with little to no food and water. You know, I could eat you right now.” He eyed him briefly and turned his face away slowly in irritation. Virgil gazed at him in silence; short of words. “Relax Kal; ok? We all are hungry. We’ll find food when we can get a place to stay.” Raul assured him. “But what about those guys we passed at the party? Why can’t we ask them for food?” Kal insisted. “It doesn’t work that way.” Virgil c
CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE… (Claire the original) Raul and his friends head out bright and early following the bus the teenagers used arrived in for their bonfire party. Claire had invited Kal who also invited his friends and they all rolled out into Claire’s house. Claire is a rich orphan whose parents left her a great amount of money in her savings, good enough to care for her needs until she’s done with college. Claire lived all by herself with no chaperons to watch her. She is a nineteen-year-old lady whose twentieth birthday was coming soon. She had invited Raul and his friends. Raul sat calmly on the couch while Kal and Virgil made themselves comfortable in her home. Claire saw how attractive Coleen was and became attracted to him. She began flirting with him and Kal was concerned. While pacing around her house, he was also trying to keep a close watch on them. Raul smiled at her gesture and replied in a calm voice. “N
Hayley and May become really close and after months of doing almost everything together, why wouldn’t they be? Hayley did a good job of hiding her abilities from Modi and May. Surprisingly, the priest also had not told anyone of it. For a moment, she forgot about the priest and his schemes. She just enjoyed herself getting adjusted and settling in her new home. She taught the younger ones with May as she did back in her home in the Western aisles. Modi had taken a trip away from the Southern aisles as he usually did every once in a while leaving the priest in charge. May was left to do the ceremonial appearance with the priest telling her what to do and Hayley just watched in silence unable to do anything. One night, while Hayley sat in her lair preparing to sleep. She suddenly saw a shadow run past her lair. She was afraid at first but curious and decide to take a peek outside to see who it was. She was surprised to find May running in desperation towards the
CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN… (A Moment of Truth I) Lucas was excited as he celebrated his newborn son’s first birthday. A year ago Lucas’ son, Rob was born and he had all the lands know of it but did not celebrate it. He decided to celebrate this one to mark his first birthday. The party was well announced as alphas from all over the mainlands showed up bearing gifts in celebration of the arrival of the newborn. Modi happened to be there. He did not quite know Lucas but he had come with a friend who was also an alpha somewhere in the East wing. The East wing was segregated from the other regions because they had humans living amongst them. They had the humans as their slaves and were the envy of most neighboring regions. The humans were made to fight their battles with them and some even could transform. Modi was friends with the alpha there as they were both kinds of similar. His name was, Flint and he was a carefree sort of werewo
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.&
