The trial of the Werewolf

The Trial of the werewolf

The faint sun rays fell inside the trunk and I could assume that it was daytime and I was still inside the trunk of the vehicle. I haven't eaten anything but it was okay. I had adjusted to being starved for a few days.

However, it was difficult to stay in position for long hours. Being tied around, it was difficult to shift, later I realised lately that it wasn't the small space which didn't let me shift, it was Wolf's Bane in my blood which made me weaker.

My abductors must have ingested the Wolf's Bane when I passed out. Damn!! This doesn't feel right. Where are they taking me to? Something was hideous about it. A place so far where i was wondering, no my assumption, i guessed that we were traveling to the west. my sense of smell was weakened too. As long as this Wolf's Bane will stay in my blood, I won't be able to free myself using my enhanced skills and sense.

Not so far, the vehicle stopped and I heard commotion outside. There were several in numbers and I heard them unloading the vehicles, which meant there were many vehicles apart from this one. How many werewolves they had captured? What was the catch behind all this?

Not too soon, the trunk was opened and the werewolves were dragged out, me too. I glanced at them and my eyes popped out to see the build they had. It looked like they were built superior to all. And if they are the guards, what will the real mastermind of this plan look like?

The guards smacked me in the guts and I fell on the ground with a parted corner of the lips, "Stared already? Show some respect to your senior, you bloody dog."

"Worthless mutts… you should feel, all of you, that your worthless life has given you a chance to live with a purpose. We gathered the rouges we could find and we will make the best out of you." A dangerous voice behind us yelled loudly and I gave a look from the corner of my eyes.

The guard smacked his gun in my guts again and I fell back. Tears rolled out as the pain lasted for a longer time.

"How dare you look at Sergeant, mutt?" The guard was furious and if it wasn't that Wolf's Bane in my bloodstream, I would have ripped him apart.

"It's alright, Dave… don't mock him way too much. We need them for our mission." Said the Sergeant.

The guard bowed at him and stood aside while the Sergeant approached me. I was trying to look up at him when someone from behind pushed my head into his feet. My ego was hurt, they forcefully made me bow at him. I gritted my teeth and pushed the guard back. I was exhausted because of the Wolf's Bane but I was able to grab him from my hands behind, to the nape of his neck and I flipped him forward, making him fall on the ground in front of him.

The other rouges gasped and murmured when I got up on my feet and glared at the man. He looked blankly at me, no reaction in his eyes or face. But suddenly, he smirked at me and nodded his head.

"It took a lot of strength to fight like that when you have been poisoned." Said the Sergeant.

"No poison could break me, because no poison is more lethal than me." I gritted my teeth and inhaled the air as much as I could.

"Looks like our search has ended here. Lock him up!!! I want him to be taken into a special cell." The Sergeant ordered the guards and I did not fight back.

Along with me, they dragged other rouges behind. They blindfolded us and locked us in the cells. However, I was taken back and they dragged me somewhere else. There were stairs and open space as my nostrils were filled with fresh air but we were still inside the dungeons. I recalled the order from the Sergeant that it would be a special cell to lock me up. Guess, that boy is already scared of me.

It was just a trailer, I am the whole package they were not aware of. The guards kicked me in and took off my blindfold. My hands were untied but I was still not able to recover. My body has ingested a lot of Wolf's Bane and it will be more stressful if I keep trying hard to push myself beyond the limits. It was dusk and I saw the daylight fading into the dark, and the cell was darker than my soul.

I leaned back and pressed my back into the cold wall and felt drowsy. It was an after effect of the Wolf's Bane. Suddenly, I had an urge to throw up and only the gastric acid was vomited. Once I was done throwing up the contents of my stomach, I laid back on the floor and didn't remember when my heavy eyelids were shut.

The next morning, I woke up before dawn and I was restless, actually it was my wolf who was restless. Since the day I had left the pack, my wolf never talked to me. I never bothered why he didn't ever make contact because my wounds were gashy and I needed time to heal.

When I was lost in my thoughts, the bar gates opened and three guards entered the cell.

"Get up mutt… they are calling you." One of them spoke and informed me.

Not sure why they were calling me, and who they were, but I got up and followed them out to the cell. They tied my hands and blindfolded me, dragged me out from the dungeons. I could hear roaring and applause from a distance and it must be something I must be worried about. 

The guards pushed me forward and locked me among other wolves in a compact place. They untied my hands and removed my blindfolds. My gaze observed everything in my surroundings and I noticed there were more than hundred rouge wolves inside the place.

The guards turned to us and pushed us to sit on the floor. I could have snapped his neck but I stayed calm and waited for an opportunity to show them my real power.

"Now that you all are brought here for a special purpose, you all must pass this test to qualify and become one of our special mission members. Just remember, your life is about change." The guard informed us and left.

There were murmurs lingered in the entire place and everyone was left shocked. We heard three loud bangs and the door in front of us opened. I was sceptical and stayed inside while the other rogues were already running outside. I could hear applause and wondered what could be here. Somehow, it felt familiar and I decided to see what was outside. The moment I stepped outside, I recalled the same place. The arena!!!

When I stepped out, there was an announcement made by the speaker.

"Let the trial of werewolves begin…"
