Chapter 1 - Lies
Last Updated:
2022-03-08 04:07:25The morning weather was foggy with a gentle breeze that howled into Lucas' window. He was already running late for school when he heard his father yell his name.
“Lucas! Lucas!” yelled Detective White.
“Get your ass down here boy, you're already late for school!”
Detective White is Lucas' father and one of the top Detectives in the New Orleans Police Department. He lost his wife early last year. According to the post-mortem examination presented to him, this states that Mrs. White was killed by a wild bear. Her car broke down in the middle of a wooded area. She called Detective White to come and pick her up or send help; he did send help but by the time help could get to Mrs. White to toll her car, she was already lying in the pool of her blood with a bestial bite mark on her neck. Her blood was drained and this bothered Detective White to eventually find out the type of wild bear that did this.
“Sorry dad, I was…”
Detective White couldn't let Lucas finish what he has to say. He glared at him. “Save it, boy, I'm running late. Get your ass to the car right now!”
Lucas is an easy-going teen that will turn 17 in a week. He is every girl's type of boy with a pointed nose, thin lips, and a pointy chin. When he smiles, he displays his shinny gap teeth, and his dimples are always visible. Most importantly, he always has good grades which make girls come around him to help them solve complex mathematics problems. The loss of his mother hasn't been easy for him. He often visits his mother's grave with flowers every weekend.
Detective White isn't home always because of his demanding work as a cop. However, as often as he is around, he never hesitates to take Lucas to school. He pulled over at Orleans High School. As Lucas wanted to open the door to step out, Detective White cast his gaze at him. “Always stay out of trouble.”
Without saying a word to his father, he opened the door and then shuts it. Hastily, Detective White slides down the windscreen. “I mean it, stay out of trouble!” he yelled.
One major problem Lucas faces in school is getting his ass kicked by bullies. He is in his senior class and less than a year he will be out of High School to proceed to College with his dream course but he always got bullies after his ass.
Lucas makes his way to his locker to get some of the notes needed for today's class. As he slowly puts the combination of his locker, one of the bullies grabbed him from behind and held him against his locker.
“Hey Punk!" said Jack with a broad fake smile written on his face. “I hope you did my goddamned homework or it's gonna be your ass?" Jack tightened his hands on Lucas' collar so that Lucas could barely breathe.
Jack Styles has been Lucas' nightmare in Orleans High School. Lucas is always watching his back for Jack and his two friends. Occasionally, Jack has forced Lucas into doing his homework for him. Jack might be a bully but he's a famous senior at Orleans High School. He has a prominent nose, thick lips, a square jaw, and straight teeth.
Lucas swallowed a lump in his throat and spoke in a quivering voice. “I am tired of doing your homework for you.”
“Wrong answer!”
As Jack raised his hand to punch Lucas, from behind Mr. Walter held him and asked him to unhand Lucas. He narrowed his gaze at Jack. He didn’t like the report he has been hearing about Jack but each time he calls him to question him, Jack will cook up lies to defend himself. Today luck has run out of him. Mr. Walter has caught him in the act. “I believe your words to be true but there are always lies.”Mr. Walter cast a fierce burning gaze at Jack.
“He stole my book!" Jack cried out.
“That's a lie, Mr. Walter!" Lucas spoke up in his defense.
“If he says I'm lying, open his backpack!”
“Lucas, would you be kind enough to open your backpack please?" Mr. Walter narrowed a gentle gaze on Lucas in expectation for him to comply with his calm request.
Mr. Walter has been voted for straight three years as the best teacher in Orleans High School. He is the geography teacher. For the past ten years of working in Orleans High School. He is always early before the students and always the last to go home after school.
“He's lying, I didn't steal his book!" Lucas spoke up again in his defense.
“Then you can prove that by opening your backpack." Mr. Walter focuses his gaze on Lucas. He wants to see to the end of this. He doesn't know whom to believe but perhaps proof can help solve the differences between the two.
As Lucas was stalling in opening his backpack, Jack took it off his hands and forcefully opens it revealing his Mathematics assignment booklet with his name boldly written on the book cover.

Mr. Walter was disappointed in Lucas as he furrows his brows in an expression of displeasure toward Luca's action and for lying. He couldn't let Lucas say a word to explain how Jack's book got to his backpack. He brought his face closer to Lucas', “Detention won't solve this. You know the punishment for stealing is in the rules and regulations of this noble school?” “But sir…” “Quiet Lucas! Quiet!" Mr. Walter yelled at Lucas interrupting him from speaking further. "You are a disgrace to your father's badge!” Other students were already staring as they watched Lucas being disgraced. From the look on Jack's face, he's enjoying every bit of the embarrassment given to Lucas.“Sir, I demand he should be punished for stealing by book," said Jack. Mr. Walter swirled as he focuses his gaze on Jack.“Don't tell me how to do my job.” “I know but with my mathematics book stolen by him, I didn't do my homework.” Mr. Walter walks up to Jack. He fixed his eyes direct on Jack's eyes.“Is tha

Mr. Walter became spellbound that he couldn't say any word after listening to Jack's conversation with Alicia. Alicia confronted Jack and in the process, Jack revealed he accused Lucas of stealing his mathematics booklet after Lucas said he didn't do the assignment he forced him to do. Mr. Walter's face turned pale as he slowly lowered his head in shame. He feels bad for every word he has said to Lucas and the embarrassment he made him go through. At this time, Principal Myles asked Lucas and Alicia to go back to their class because the next class will begin in five minutes. “My son isn't going anywhere until the school authority apologized to him.”Detective White rose to his feet folding his arms. From the look on his face, one can easily tell he could just punch Mr. Walter in the face. He isn't happy with how his son is accused. He has seen some falsely accused victims end up in jail for years before the truth comes out. If this happens to be a major case, his son

Lucas couldn’t make any sense of what he just read. He has heard the word ‘ALPHA’ before but that’s definitely from his parish priest when he preaches Sunday Homily. He could remember when his parish priest could describe GOD as the ALPHA which means the ‘Beginning.’ For some moments he pondered to himself if actually what he read meant he will be the next GOD. ‘This might be from GOD,’ he thought to himself. That wouldn’t make sense as GOD won’t send a letter to him telling him he is the next ALPHA. He wants this to make sense to him but there’s no address on the letter, not even the sender's address. Without any sender’s address, he can’t make contact with the person that sent the letter to him. He slowly opens the door and walks into his apartment narrowing his eyes over and over again at the five-letter words. “What does this mean?” he mutters under his breath. One thing about Lucas is he never misses Sunday Mass nor has he ever been late. If there is anyo

“Jack, have you gone nuts?” Alicia yelled. It’s obvious that Jack followed Lucas home and it’s quite obvious that Lucas didn’t harken to Jack’s warning when he asked him to stay away from Alicia. Something about Jack is, he never listens either. He takes advantage of his father being a congressman to behave like a 'jackass' Alicia called him. He gives no listening ear to the school rules or even respects the law. He wants to let his anger out on Lucas for getting him suspended and for still hanging out with Alicia. He drags Lucas to his feet and landed him another punch. Alicia wanted to help but he pushed her towards Philip. “Take her to the truck!” said Jack. He makes his way to Lucas and dragged him up once more. “I told you to stay away from her, didn’t I?” “You will not get away with this,” Lucas mutters. He is used to Jack’s beating but this very punch is times two of what Jack has been giving him. “You are wrong; I have already gotten away with this!” Jack held Lucas t

Just as the hairy beasty creature slowly approaches Alicia, the moon disappeared behind a blanket of dark gray clouds. Realizing the moon has disappeared behind the blanket of dark gray clouds, the creature moved at an accelerated speed. It moved faster than a human speed which made it invisible for Alicia’s naked eye to perceive its movement. Alicia gave a sigh of relief and quickly rushed to check on Lucas. “Lucas!” she yelled. She quickly went on her knees and lifted Lucas by the shoulder. “Please stay with me!” she said. Lucas’ breath is fading away and he is bleeding out really fast. She didn’t know where to begin in stopping the bleeding. At this time, Jack and Philip have regained consciousness. They both approached Alicia who at this time is covered in Lucas’ blood. “Oh, my God!” Jack cried out. “What happened?” he added feeling tensed. He didn’t expect anyone to get hurt. He just wants to scare Lucas and nothing more. From what he has seen, Lucas’ bleeding isn’t a result

Detective White didn’t like Captain Harris' decision. He wants to get to the root of this himself since Alicia has given out her testimony as a witness to a crime committed by Jack Styles and Philip. As Sergeant Shark leads Jack and Philip to the congressman’s car instead of the police patrol car, Detective White was enraged. He approached his captain and confronted him in the presence of Congressman Styles. “What the fuck is this? They should be heading to the precinct for further interrogation and not going home with the congressman!” “Watch the tone of your voice Detective, I can have your ass suspended!” said the Captain as he glances at Detective White with a stone face. He frowns at him although he knows the detective was speaking the plain truth. The captain wants to shield Jack and his friend because he’s the son of a congressman. “Truth will never be hidden even if you suspend me! You have to take them to the…” “Enough Detective!” Captain Harris slammed at Detective Whit

Detective White after dropping off Alicia decided to investigate Route 9, the very place his son was attacked by what he believed was a wild bear that also killed his beloved wife. He pulled over by the roadside and slowly walked out of his car. It was still dark and very soon the day would dawn. His police precinct still considered the place as an act of crime scene. They rounded the whole area with police tape. Detective White didn’t have any source of light with him but that didn't dissuade him. He crossed over the police tape and headed towards the almond tree where Jack’s truck ran into. As he was observing the scene, he heard a pitched howl which was followed by many more as the moon peeped through the almond tree leaves and faintly lit up the dark path ahead. Detective White hastily draws out his service revolver. His best guess was the howling came from wolves. The howls were replaced by ferocious barking which made him tremble with fear. Being alone in the woods at t

Lucas didn’t want to scare his father with his new look. He was really scared that his father would see his new look and scream or even disown him. But his fear didn’t come to life. His father was still seeing his lovely son whom he has always loved and will always love. He kissed Lucas on the forehead and helped him up. Lucas wasn’t sure if his father was in the right sense. ‘Who will see a monster and will not run away from such a monster?’ His thought can’t make any sense to him. He quickly rushed to the mirror only to realize, he was looking normal, with no fangs, no claws, and no glowing eyes. He stares at the mirror for a few seconds and then grinned. “Any problem son?” asked Detective White. “Not at all, I’m fine.” “Good, then you have to return to your bed. You need to have enough rest.” “Alright dad,” Lucas replied putting up a cute smile. He wasn’t sure of what happened and what he did to make himself look normal again. Perhaps what he saw at first wasn’t real but j

CONGRESSMAN STYLES MANSION “Let him go!” Lucas yelled. Jack was suspended in the air. He pleads for his life but Ann showed no mercy. She glanced at Lucas with hate in her eyes. “You will never find my former mistress’ corpse.” Ann’s words stroke him. “So it was you?” “I had help,” Ann giggled. “Let him go and we can talk about this,” Lucas pleaded. “Whatever anger you have should be channeled to me. He has nothing to do with it.” “You are right,” Ann flashed a fake smile that can’t get to Lucas. “He has been a pain in your ass and now I want to help you delete him.” With a flick of her wrist, Ann released Jack and let him slump to the ground. Lucas moved at an accelerated speed to help Jack but Ann flings him away. She appeared behind Lucas and stabbed him with a similar dagger he stabbed Lucas with. “Die asshole,” she whispered into his ear. “No!” Lucas roared. It’s too late fo

DOWNTOWN There’s been an attack in the bar close to the witches’ quarters. The people of New Orleans have been hearing of mysterious killings by a wild cat. Some say the witches are behind the killings. The witches assumed the wild cat bite happens to be a bite mark from vampires. They do not want to get into a fight with the vampires especially now Lucas is speaking of a truce. They quickly made their way out of the bar leaving the barman, John, and Scott alone.Customers at the bar are running helter-skelter. The customers were still in shock. They have never seen such an attack or someone who vanishes out of thin air or morphs into a cat. ‘This is sorcery!” they screamed running out from the bar.The cat hops and stood at the bar counter making a constant purring sound. In the bar was one of Zuka’s vampires who has gone to get a witch to help Zuka out of his deep slumber. When he heard screams coming from the bar, he diverted and started heading toward the bar.

“What are you doing?” Jane stared with a confused look. This isn’t saving. Pete’s actions got her puzzled. “A few tricks I learned from Jones,” Pete replied without looking up. His hand was still buried in Lucas’ chest. He isn’t pulling it out – instead, he held Lucas firmly in his arm. He glanced at Jane. There was a concerned look on her face. The look one gives when betrayed. “Relax,” he said. “I’m just trying to keep his heartbeat.” “By burring your claws into his chest?” Jane cast a wide-eyed gaze. At this moment, she doesn’t know whose side Pete is on. “I’m just massaging his heart,” Pete spoke up in his defense. He knew that look on Jane’s face. He focuses on his alpha and continued caressing his heart. It’s a way of reviving a werewolf if you noticed his heartbeat slowing down. By just massaging the heart, the heart will get back popping blood as it ought. Jones used this trick to revive

“Lucas, wake up!” a loud voice called out. The voice came growing louder and closer in Lucas’ ear. He quickly sat up and started gazing around. Nothing seems familiar. There was a slow-moving creek close by. It’s quite different from the bayou at Hilltop. As he was about to get to his feet, the voice came again, “You’re not supposed to be here.” He flicked around. He recognizes the voice. It was Bonnie speaking. There she is standing and staring down at him next to a tree. Lucas quickly sprang up to his feet and wanted to make a run for it. Bonnie disappeared and reappeared before him. “You’re not supposed to be here!” she yelled. “You don’t belong here.” “Please don’t hurt me!” Lucas cried out. He was terrified like a scared little child. “I will not hurt you but you need to leave—you don’t belong here!” she disappeared into thin air. Lucas stared around puzzled in fear. His legs shake rapidly. H

Principal Walter has assured her she could get all the class updates in their class group and has given her as much time as she needed to get over the death of her father. She was the only one at home. Her mother has resumed work and so is Rosita. Maureen on the other hand has been busy with her team trying to catch Ann.

The pale-looking man’s hand is mangled and his skin peels away like a banana. They are replaced with the large, hairy, and dangerous clawed hands of a beastly creature. “Not again!” Captain White cried out. He has witnessed the furious nature of werewolves in the woods but got his ass saved by his wife. Too bad Kora isn’t here to save him. She’s still kicking some asses in the ancestors’ world. Is either he fights or gets maimed. The pendant given to him by Eva to protect him from werewolves has lost its power since she died. When the ancestors killed her, they destroyed every spell she created, and all magical objects she made died with her.

Captain White was suspended in the air by an unseen force. The unseen force had him on his throat and he gasped for air desperately. Lucas moved at an accelerated speed toward his father. He moved faster than the eyes could see. Whatever that is suspending his father in the air won’t let him be if he didn’t act. On reaching his father, he stretched his hand to take hold of his father’s hand. He was more than 19ft above the ground level. There’s no way Lucas could get to him. He propels himself into the air and allowed himself to be pulled into flight. It was too late for him to get to his faster – the invisible force was acting ahead of him. His father vanished into thin air. Lucas crashed and landed on a tombstone. His face became distorted with rage. He sprang back to his feet and began scanning around with his eyes desperately. “Show yourself and fight me!” he roared. A weird unseen force flings Lucas th
