REID:

“Geez, it’s like I can’t feel my arms,” Hunter says as he tries to stretch both of his arms a little while later after complaining about how numb they were.

It’s been two days since we released him from the silver chains. The good thing about it is that he has not reacted in a way that would make us have to be cautious of him. Still, precautions are in place to ensure that nothing goes wrong with him.

“It will take a while but I’m sure you’ll be fine soon,” I tell him as a way of consoling him about his arms.

“Yeah, I know,”

While he continues with the stretching, I look ahead as my thoughts wander away. Don't have anything precisely to think about as I sit right in front of my quarters but it felt kind of peaceful to be here. And perhaps to take my mind off a few things.

But there was something that starts to bother me in no time. It was from a discussion from two days ago and now that it invades my mind, I cannot help but feel like I made a mistake.

    KIRA:I can do this, I tell myself as I wait in the school’s hallway while looking around for someone in particular.It has been a long ten minutes since I got here waiting. A long ten minutes of trying to overcome my nervousness about what I plan to do. Every passing minute though has been tough for me because it becomes harder and harder to even feel better about myself.I feel like I have set myself up for something that I cannot handle. But I have to constantly remind myself that what I want to do is just talk. Probably apologize too for my ill attitude. And all this is because of Kelvin who I am desperately waiting for to show up.My height is sort of a disadvantage for me as I look through the crowd of students passing by me. Yes, that is how it has always been which is why it was easy for Sophie and her gang to pick on me. But not now. I don’t need such a disadvantage now. It should be nigh perfect in seeking out Kelvin from the crowd.All of a sudden my nostrils pick up a fami

    REID:“Where did that come from?” I ask as I look behind me first. There was no explainable means to how whatever that was could have been thrown because right behind Hunter and me was my quarters which has the door closed.I have to neglect that for the time being because a scream coming from the affected quarters that got something crashed into.A brief stare at Hunter and we both start to run off in the direction of the building. It was quite a distance away but we were sure of covering the distance in a few seconds.Before we even arrive at the quarters, we could see some members of the household start to rush out of the building in haste. Some even tripped to the ground on the way out and it was all because of the confusion that came with their movements.“Did you see what happened?” I ask one of them upon our arrival. It was a teenage boy who looked scared to death.“We– We ju– just heard a crash,” he stutters as he responds and I know that I cannot get anything decent from him

    KIRA:I cannot seem to get the picture out of my head. I mean, it has been like an hour since I witnessed something I would call the tragedy of the century for me, but it feels fresh in my mind.The corpse. Yes, the unmoving body was a corpse. That was the first time I would witness a dead body but the state in which I saw that body was traumatizing. And I’m certain that for the rest of the week, I will not be able to get over it.“Get your head straight before you bump into something,” the voice of Kelvin rings in my ear as I feel a force putting me on track. Let us just say I was saved from almost getting my head set straight by a tree, all thanks to Kelvin’s hand.“Sorry,” I say as I move away from the path of the tree, glancing in his direction for a split second with an apologetic look.“Why are you apologizing?” he asks, looking a bit confused.“I made you take the force of the blow,” I look at his hand when I say that. It doesn’t look bruised or anything but I sense he would fe

    REID:My mind is in complete disarray as I run at the fastest of speed that I have ever produced. I am trying to set my thoughts in one place but I feel divided right now which is the reason for my mental trauma. And I know when things are going bad because this state of mine is not any good for me.I need to get to the pack square as quickly as possible. That is the major factor that had gotten me in this state but I cannot seem to get the event of the area around my quarters out of my head. I left Hunter there to oversee the issue but my mind is not at rest still.In about a minute, I reach the pack square. And on my arrival there, I am greeted by Ryu who looks devastated. If that is the genuine way to describe the way he looks now because I could sense the turmoil in him. Can’t remember the last time I met him in this state.“Tell me what is going on!” I instruct as I start to rush through the square just so I could get to wherever it is that the whole issue is going down because r

    KIRA:Twenty minutes ago, I had been adamant about not leaving the house. But now I am en route to school.The day had started off with my parents making it compulsory for me to go back to school today as the school management had cleared the environment safe to return but I had argued with them that I was in no way going anywhere.They had asked for the reason and the only thing I could come up with that was close to reasonable was that I was scared that something like what happened yesterday would happen again. They had instantly flagged it off and insisted I leave, citing I was being childish.It was not until I had been threatened with being grounded for a whole month did I get my acts together and eventually leave the quarters for school.Now I regret doing so. Because ever since I got to the path that was surrounded by more woods than usual, I have been having this eerie feeling that something was going to go wrong. I would say it was my intuition playing games on me but the way

    KIRA:“I don’t have a good feeling about this. Why would they ask us to wait behind when there’s nothing left for us to do?” I ask Kelvin who is standing with me as I glance through the number of heads that were with us in the hallway just downstairs in the school.“Who knows? Perhaps to inspect us in regards to the death that occurred yesterday. I don’t think the school has cleared itself of the incident. They only told us that just to get us back to school,” Kelvin responds almost too smoothly, making it seem like he knew the in and out of the school. And it made me glance at him with a peg of admiration for him before taking my gaze back to the crowd to make sense of what is going on.It is closing hour already of the regular school hours. And yes we should all be on our way back to our respective quarters. But the school management thought it was wise to delay every one of us with no explanation as to why that was fixed.There have been lamenting from all the students since this w

    KIRA:The only thing I can hope for now is that whatever bad feeling that just found its way into me had better be simply a feeling and not something real.My heart rate has increased rapidly since I started to run off in the direction of the quarters which I was sure to arrive soon. I am suddenly scared that something bad has happened and not just anywhere but in my household.This had better not be what I am thinking, I tell myself inwardly when I arrive right in front of the quarters which I sight with the door opened ajar. It is the first feeling that something was totally wrong and instantly I barge into the apartment to want to know why the door was left open that way because that has never happened.Perhaps I should not have gotten in yet. Because I was not even prepared for what I am about to see. And the moment I come in contact with the sight, I instantly become weak to the knees.My father... My mother. They are both lying on the ground unmoving. And it was not just them on

    KIRA:I lean against a tree with my hand. The aim was to rest my weary legs which have been going on and on for who knows when.“Where am I?” I ask myself while glancing around to make sense of my environment. And after a while of looking, I figured I have no idea of my location.The truth is that I do not have it in me to think about it as I push the thought of that to the back of my head and then plump to the ground with my back against the tree that I was initially leaning on.A brief glance around once more while seated and then I decide I should just stay put for a while until I figure out what next I need to do.I can’t believe it. I just can’t. I still want to tell myself that what I saw was a lie but the realization keeps hitting me over and over again.How can my parents be dead? How? What could have killed them? They were fine when I left home today. And it did not seem like I would be going back to meet the corpses. Who knew that nature had everything planned out already? E

    REID:I find Venice in her room about twenty minutes after my father left. Didn't even need to knock to get into the room because she left the door ajar.For a while, I stand at the entrance as I contemplated going over to sit beside her. She looked like she was thinking through a lot of things and I didn't want to meddle. But then I was here for a good cause.I eventually pushed myself to the bedside, taking a seat directly beside her. She doesn't even flinch or reacts to the fact that I've joined her and I stay quiet for a pretty long while until the courage to say something kicks in.“You sure about your decision?” is what I ask her. Trust me, I was not truly fine with speaking yet.She says nothing for such a long time that I thought she was going to ignore me totally. But then she speaks:“Why wouldn't I be?”I find myself nodding as if in understanding. Seems she has made up her mind about the whole thing before even confronting our father.I can't say I was a hundred percent in

    REID:“Why don’t you wait? Let me teach you a good lesson!” Hunter yells at the already retreated Diana.He was already up on his feet with the sole aim of going after her but I was quick to get up on my feet as well and then hit him square in the chest, sending him back down on his seat.It was a good thing that I sat this close to him or he would have acted as the dimwit that he always is and go make trouble for himself. I wonder when he is going to learn how to comport himself.“If you dare go after her, I will have your head!” I threaten him with a glare.He does not even look threatened by what I just did as he scowls right in my face and then looks away. It took a lot of willpower for me not to smack him right across the face.I do the right thing by looking away from him. Damn it was exhausting having to control a grown-up. Wonder when he will learn to put himself at bay because I would be sure to do that for him if this goes on like this.I was just about to reprimand him once

    REID:“We need to find a solution to your problem. We cannot keep letting you endanger the lives of others in this pack.” I say that with a bit of anger directed toward my beta seated right in front of me.It has been a week since the incident that had me having to put him down again. And for over a week, until yesterday, he was chained down to his bed. You could still see the scars that came with the silver chains used on his wrist. Must have hurt like hell.But I, for one, am not enjoying this. I should not be feeling endangered by the one I call my right-hand man. Literally makes no sense. How can I guarantee the safety of others when one of the problems comes from the one that should be assisting me in leading them?“I’m sorry, Reid,” he starts to say, reflecting soberness. “I wish I have a way of getting through this without putting the lives of others at risk but this is a tough call for me. The fact that I have no idea what is going on with me should be something I consider as

    KIRA:I don’t know who suffered more from the attack between Bradley and me. Because we both look terrible at the moment.After the pack warriors had come around during the showdown between Bradley’s wolf and Kelvin’s, they had been able to handle the situation by subduing Kelvin’s wolf. But it took a lot before they were able to get that done even though they had come in their tens.Right after they had accomplished that, they took Bradley and me away from there while carting away with the struggling body of Kelvin who had been in his human form then. He was still not himself.The warriors had taken Bradley and me to the pack hospital which is where we both are now. The pack doctor had tended to our wounds already minutes ago now what we were made to do is rest so we could heal in time. It seems the claws that came with the possessed Kelvin had more than just ordinary swipes because it was taking time for either of us to heal.“That was your friend, wasn't it?” I hear Bradley ask, ta

    KIRA:I feel I have lost a lot of blood. I can hardly move my body as I lay on the ground waiting for what fate has in store for me next.I can already hear incoming footsteps which means he is coming for me once more. The thought of it is frightening, especially judging that I have no defense against what is coming against me.When I hear nothing again, it prompts me to force myself to sit up so I can take a look at what is going on. I won’t necessarily say I succeeded in doing that because my elbows were just put up as a support to lift my body upward a little bit.I realize why I hear nothing from him again. This is because he is right now in the process of shifting. He has bent to the ground a little as the transformation starts to take place and in less than two seconds, a different entity was found in place of him which made me more scared than I was of him.His wolf is brown like almost other wolves I have sighted. The only difference is the size. Being that he is just an ordin

    KIRA:“It’s the substance,” I say with my gaze still fully fixated on the spot Kelvin has his eyes on. Well, it did not come as a surprise to me because I was already aware of what killed my parents.I stand upright a little while later and look at Kelvin who cannot seem to take his eyes off the thing. And to be honest, it made me wonder if he had fallen into a hypnosis with the way he was acting.“Is this what you think we might find in here? There’s nothing special about this.” I say to him and then walk away from there to go check on something else.Even after a minute or so, I realize that I have not gotten a response from Kelvin which makes me look back at him. And to my surprise, he is still looking down at the substance.It was at that moment I knew something was wrong. How could he still be standing in the same spot since and be staring at the same thing? That was awfully strange.“Kelvin?” I decide to reach out to him by calling his name. But when he does not respond to my ca

    KIRA:I’m out here freezing even though I got a pullover on. The weather seemed to have increased drastically in the last two days. And now I am beginning to regret that I agreed to be out here. At least, not by this time of the day.It’s way past noon already. I am certain it has hit the evening clock. But what do I know... I’ve been out here much longer than anticipated already.A few more minutes passed and I agreed that it was not wise being out here anymore. So I turn around intending to leave when I sight the person I’ve been out here waiting for.A frown makes its way to my face when the person’s gaze comes in contact with mine. I cannot believe that I got my time wasted just because of some link. He should have kept to the deal.The first words that leave my lips when he reaches right in front of me are, “You mind-linked me to be here yet you went on to delay me. Who does that?”He seems apologetic when he says, “I’m so sorry. I had to tend to something real quick at home. Did

    REID:“What is wrong with him?” Diana, who just approached, asks. I know it is her even though I am not looking at her.I have full focus on Hunter who has already gone down to the ground. His situation has worsened because he now looks red all over. I cannot even place my hands on what triggered him to be this way.I finally respond to Diana’s inquiry. “He is at the point of going berserk.”“Berserk? Is this because of me?” she asks.“Not at all. The Abomination caused this on him. It is a long topic to discuss if I am going to go into the details with you.”I am glad he has not gone wild yet. I think he is fighting the urge to let the whole thing take control of his senses. Because if not, he should have switched already.Diana confirms my thoughts. “Whatever it is that he is fighting against, he is doing a pretty good job holding it off.”I nod. “So I see.”“What are we going to do now?”I look back for a second at Venice who just asked that. She looks all panicky as she stands in

    REID:If I said I was not in awe of the activity going on right before my eyes, I would be a terrible liar. Watching the Red Legion train was something I would never hope to see in a million years but here was I witnessing it firsthand.Diana took permission from me this morning to use the training area to train with her men. According to her, it was the only way they could still be on track with their skills.I had agreed but only on the condition that I would be there to witness today’s training. And after today, they could have the training area to themselves whenever they needed to.She had thought it over first before agreeing to it. Not like she had a choice. And that is why I am here to witness the remarkable display of the skills the Red Legion possesses.Their prowess was much unique from what I have ever seen during any form of practice made by warriors. I could not seem to figure out the various forms of techniques they were showcasing. And it should not be much of a surpri
