I MUST SAVE AVERY

Hoots POV

I left the palace immediately one of the men told me of Avery's escape. If only she knew that escaping will only add more fuel to Alpha Devon's anger, she would have stay put.

However, i understand her. I was once in captivity also. Captivity had a way of making you quest for freedom. You just want to ne free to fly again without your wings being clipped.

Avery March had quested for freedom and she got it. I just hoped that she ran as fast as her legs could carry her because she would regret ever coming here if she didn't run.

Day by day, I prayed for a way to escape in the forest. Just one slight mistake that would make me run as fast as my legs could carry me.

The first time i tried it, I was caught almost immediately. They whipped me with their whips and starved me of food. "Young man, if you ever try that again, that will be your goddamn end! Am I clear?" One of the slave traders dragged my ear and said as they tied me to a pole.

They murmur amongst themselves while i make way to the center. "Why, Wahika? This person is a betrayer!" He yells."Yes! According to our tradition, betrayers must not live to see the next sunlight. Alas, this one has seen the sunlight for at least three days. There is no escape for her now" one of the chiefs says as he spits in her way.Most of the onlookers are angry too. "Can we speak in private?" She says to him when we get to the center. He looks at her in confusion, then he looks to me who is by her side."What the hell is going on Nicholas and where the hell have you been!" The alpha asks me. "I don't know Papa. I am as confused as you are. Wahika has refused to tell me also but please put down the sword" I plead. Why i am worried about her is something beyond my imagination. I am trying his best to

    AVERY'S SHOCKNicholas's POV"What did you just say?" I rephrase those words carefully to ascertain if i heard Wahika well. My ears must have been malfunctioning."Wahika, this isn't a joke or a child's play" father says as his face changes into a darker cloudy mask. I look around and the chiefs are also astonished at the turn of events."Why would i joke with such heavy words my lord. Have i ever dared do such? Have i ever dared speak what the gods have not commanded me to? I wouldn't dare. My life would go for it" Wahika says.It is glaring that no one anticipated this. Marriage? To someone who would have reported them to her Kingdom? Some of them look to each other in confusion as they murmur."Are you really being serious, Wahika?" I turn to her. I flicker my eyes to hers, trying to see if she is pulling my legs which Wahika never does. Maybe i am just looking for an excuse to reason what she said."You don't mean it right because how the hell do you expect me to get married?" Ang

    I WANT TO HEAR FROM AVERY"Are you ok?You seem a bit distressed" Beatrice asks Reginald as shr settles on the sofa beside him. She had been overseeing their dinner in the kitchen. "Yeah i am" Reginald lies through his teeth. He is far from ok. Infact his insides have knotted themselves together in a loop. So many myriad of questions plague his mind."I know you are nervous. You don't have to be worried" she says taking his fingers in hers to massage it as she always does each time his tension sets in."I'm trying to be. I feel helpless" he says. "Just be calm. Avery would want you to be happy for her. Not this way" she tells him."Is Avery herself happy? She's being forced into this marriage obviously. If she had a choice, she wouldn't be there" Reginald whines. "She's been there for months, Reg. For months. It takes a minute to fall in love. I won't be surprised if she is in love. Stop being worried, it doesn't change anything. Your health will only get worse" she sighs.Ever since

Words that should never be heard from me. They were termed abomination.This cannot be Nicholas Sansone! Alas, it is I. After series of talks followed by arguments enough to rip my head off my neck, I agreed to marry her. The chiefs had argued back and forth but Wahika was ready with answers to give them. In the end, they caved in and accepted the gods order.Wahika alone was enough to make me see the need to get married to Avery. I succumbed helplessly."I will get married to her. At least for the people, I can do this" I said resignedly. A voice in my head taunted me. "Are you really thinking about the people right now? Or will you think about the people when you want to bed her?"These stupid thoughts of mine have been going crazy since that day. I have tried my best to shut them up

    THE LITTLE BOY The nightcrawlers surrounded the eldest of the nightcrawlers inside their cave. They waited for him to speak up because they are all aware that he would have known about what is going on currently in the forest and with the confessors. "You all expect me to say something about what is going on currently in the confessor's city?" The nightcrawler asked. They all shook their heads and went their way. Deep down they were all scared. What really happened during those times? The nightcrawler sighed and glared at one who didn't want to leave. "What are you waiting for young one?" He didn't speak, yet he continued staring at the nightcrawler. He sniffed the air and at once the old nightcrawler knew something was disturbing him. "Talk young one. I won't sacrifice you." He assured. "The baby ---" "I know. I'm also thinking about what to do here. The baby must not live." "The baby is hours old now. Nothing can kill him as we speak.

    HE IS REBORN."We will regret this. It is not about the question if we would. We didn't - No - You should have listened when I said we should go forward and search for her." Theresa, one of the midwives - also one of the greatest confessors that ever lived lamented.She sat down on the chair as she entered the room and others followed behind. "I know it is risky." The eldest of the midwives said and continued. "But, we all know that it is just written in the books and we have not seen for ourselves what great calamity would befall us. Maybe the people who came together to write this book see how powerful he is and would not want anyone to wield that kind of power again. Thus, tagging him bad from birth.""I would not say otherwise, but it is written for a reason. If it was never a threat to us all, I don't think they would have agreed to write the book.""Then they should have explained the consequences of leaving that child alive. No stories, only warnings.

    THE BIRTH SYNDROMEIt feels a lot weird when you know you have a super power inside of you. Humans and supernatural beings bend to your will, and there is absolutely nothing they can do about it. It is incredible, but it comes with a disadvantage."Erhmm, Nicholas, can you help me with the cup of water on the table please?" Avery asked."I'm very busy currently, there are a lot of letters I need to write back to Blessingstoke and —" a stolen glare toward Avery kept him mute halfway. "Don't you dare use that on me, Avery." Nicholas stood slowly.Avery laughed and kept on laughing. "I'm not using it on you. See my baby bump, I don't want to move right now." She said amidst laughing.Avery is eight months pregnant. The midwives told her to get into care immediately, but she was adamant. When anyone tries to force her to leave for the care room, she would try to use her powers on them. Thus, they all backed off at one point in time.They heard a knock on the door. Nicholas was holding the

    BETRAYAL AND LOYALTY"We are home!" Philippa, a young lady about Avery's height and age yelled as she entered the castle. Beatrice wouldn't believe her eyes - she shouldn't be back now - oh, she missed Avery."Philippa?" Beatrice called out her daughter. They embraced each other as tightly as they could."Mother." She smiled, closing her eyes to feel the moment she had craved for.There was an elderly woman beside Philippa. A few months ago, she was forced to follow Philippa to an unknown town And they spent most of the year there. "Mrs Stewart, welcome back." Beatrice greeted her.Amazed as she should be. "Is this the king's sister?" She asked."Yes, I am," Beatrice replied with a grin."The real you wouldn't have greeted me. It is weird." She said what was on her mind and didn't keep anything to herself."People change." Reginald walked majestically toward Mrs Stewart and gave her a warm hug."Reginald." She called him."I have missed how you call my name." Reginald smiled. "Avery w

    THE EVIDENCE"Should we ask her about it?" Nicholas bent toward Avery. Avery glared at Beatrice."No, don't. Let's wait till after the wine and dine. Don't spoil the fun!" Avery yelled beneath her voice."Why did you have to yell?" Nicholas scowled."I didn't. I just have to maintain a voice you can hear with the high pitch noise in this tavern.""No one can hold his liquor better than me." A man with a gold beard and a loud voice bluffed after finishing a bowl of liquor."Did he really finish that?" Nicholas asked Avery."We are both watching Nicholas. Don't ask me questions like that. I'm still amazed." Avery glared at the dwarf."Let me prove it to you." Danika's solemn voice filled the room. Her actions brought more evidence to Nicholas.The eldest prince of the moonstone clan was the strongest liquor drinker in the whole of Arbedour until Danika challenged him and she won. Maybe that sums up the reason Elias hated Danika up till now."She behaves exactly like Danika." Nicholas la

    A VISIT TO HELL"Who is next!?" Young Danika screamed from the arena. Nicholas was proud of his best friend who hasn't turned but defeated those that have with ease. No one like her because of this and they are looking for a person that can shut her mouth - she hasn't stopped yelling and no one was cheering - Nicholas would have, but as the son of the alpha, he is expected not to take sides."I said who is next!!?" Danika bluffed until a huge man came on stage.This was not supposed to be so. He shouldn't be there at the moment. He was not expected to fight at all, but people wanted her to lose. Nicholas complained to Devon, but he didn't listen."Father, this is murderer. She hasn't shifted yet and she will fight with Kakuna? Even I can't take him on without getting serious injuries." Nicholas complained."No, this would be total fun. Don't you believe in your best friend?" He replied with a grin. Maybe this day was the day he stopped calling Devon, 'father'.ANNOUNCER: THERE IS THE

Reginald showed the scar he got from racing on a wild horse and the butcher joked about the fact that he is always butchering or arranging the meat into a sack. Tables turned and it was Nicholas' turn."What about you?" Reginald tilted his head sideway. "Have you gotten any injury or scars?" He asked before Nicholas could reply. "I know you guys heal or you don't?""Too many questions." Nicholas scoffed. "Well, I have a scar, but it is a long story. It is from the sports, but not actually from playin
