CHAPTER FORTY ONE
Last Updated:
2020-11-24 01:35:05“Hand the phone over to me,” Prof. Ericson ordered in a very deep baritone that shook Harold a little as he stretched his broad palm out, expecting Harold to put the phone in it.
He, professor Ericson, was back to his staunch and distant self with his lips that barely parted as he spoke and eyes which were inimical and cold, and Harold knew it was entirely his fault. He had chased the snail back into its shell.
If only he had deleted the video from Trisha's phone and kept it back in the drawer, it'll take a longer time before Prof. Ericson was aware that he had tampered with it, meaning Prof. Ericson would have helped him more.
“I'm... I'm very sorry, sir,” Harold stuttered as he dipped his hands into one of his pockets and brought it out. He glanced at the damage he had done to the wall because he couldn't look Ericson in the eye and he felt more stupid than he'd ever in his entire life. Since his arrival in the school, he had don

The sun was completely sunk into the sky and a pale yellow hue with a few fluffy white that crisscrossed the milky clouds—like a zebra, had taken over, spreading its tangerine-coloured shade from East to West, and from North to South, too, as it served as a magnificent background for the hundreds of birds of diverse kinds that performed flight acrobatics whilst landing on top of fir trees to rest before taking off again.The evening insects crackled and called to one another in their different ‘languages’ as night slowly crept in and one by one, the street lamps which could be found at every junction came alive, shining their white, bright lights on the tarmac.Out in the open, trying to find a solution to the misery that had befallen one of them was Harold and Wilkes, carefully journeying to the girls' hostels in search of a sassy wolf whom neither of them recognized.“Do you remember the exact location of her room?” Harold asked W

Harold Girard and Wilkes Milton froze in fear for a couple of seconds and their eyeballs which were interlocked, communicated many, many words than they could with their mouths.The crickets crackled louder than before and the fireflies which they could see flying all around minutes ago had deserted them, leaving the duo to the dark night that did not have as much as a star twinkling from above.Suddenly, they both began to dash towards the small gate but just before they got there, thanks to the poor illumination, Wilkes bumped into someone.“Sorry, sorry,” he muttered as he stood on his feet.“We didn't mean to —” Harold started till he recognized the short brown haired and oblong faced girl who had a vicious frown on her face making her look like a bulldog. The darkness might have been playing tricks on him earlier on but not now. He had seen and recognized his saviour.“You are the one!” Harold

Harold groaned quite loudly as an excruciating amount of pain jittered through his body, tearing his human flesh apart as a new, thicker, and dense skin covered his shifting skeleton.As he transformed, his human mind reminded him of the stakes at hand and consequences if he howled in the forbidden part of the school which he was in, and although his wolf instincts told him to, he kept it locked in his throats which made the pain as he mutated even greater.His ears stretched like a force was pulling it to his limit and his facial bones began to shift and snap, rift slowly like a mechanized tool and join to new stout bones that could stand against the strongest of metals. His legs arched inwards, forming a slightly curved bow behind his knee before the straight, strong part rooted itself into the green grass beneath it and his arms fell on the wet grass before turning into hale and hardened limbs.Brie, whose transformat

Wednesday's sunshine broke through the misty clouds that had coagulated like a chick that was forcing itself into the world by cracking open its shell, and one of the very few students who watched the sun grow bigger as its warmth heated up Golden Lake was Harold Girard.“You seem happier than usual,” Wilkes said when he had watched Harold look through his window into the brightening sky for a few minutes. Harold who had been oblivious that anyone was watching him will sometimes break into a smile as the sun's tentacles massaged his cheek and some other times, he sighed happily like the life he had fantastized of on lazy afternoons was what he was living.Harold looked at Wilkes and smiled again, revealing his near-perfect dentition. “Yes, yes, I am.”“Want to tell me why?” Wilkes asked as he smiled in return. Definitely, whoever said smiles were contagious was correct. He, Wilkes, knew that the reason why Harold was joyful wa

For the first time in Harold's life, he went to the gym—when he was done with his classes for the day at a few minutes after 4 pm, to get physically fit. After last night's training that had lasted for a little over seven minutes in the field which was out of bounds, Harold was utterly exhausted and Brie who was still as fresh as she was when they started, on their way back to their various dormitories, advised him to exercise very often, especially since the contest was fast approaching.“Your first time here?” a very slender female with well toned muscles that were of a perfect size when matched with her petite and extremely flexible body said as she stretched her waist beyond what Harold thought was possible of a human.“Yes, yes,” Harold replied as he looked all around. There were tons of equipments everywhere, hanging from above, resting thickly on the ground like they never had and could be moved, a few in their own special compartments, and r

With the famous scowl on his face after the day's lectures, professor Ericson packed all that was left of him in his office into a small box and sealed it tight with a tape as he relived what had ensued between him and the Vice Chancellor, Dr. Peyton Giovanni, minutes ago that had led to his ‘expulsion till further notice’.After lecturing the third year students for an intense forty-five minutes on how to heighten their senses, he had been called to the Vice Chancellor's office for an impromptu meeting by none other than Mr. Heathers who had been sent to get him.“You... Your attention is needed, sir, in the Dr. Giovanni's office,” Mr. Heathers had stammered, not being able to meet the cold eyes of professor Ericson.“Anything wrong?” Ericson had asked as he studied the wobbly frame of Mr. Heathers. He put the marker he had been holding since the class ended two minutes ago on a desk, dusted his hands of imaginary dust and sh

Harold Girard put the letter back into his bag, took out Trisha's phone, put it safely in his pocket then surveyed the the map which was neatly folded in his bag.He looked around, wondering who had put it in his bag but no one present in the gym looked likey they could have done it so, he parted the map slowly on his lap and studied it.There was a diagram towards the edge that looked like it was drawn by a kid for his project and an ugly sketched arrow pointed at it with ‘Golden Lake University’ written on it. From the school, ‘x’ trails which showed the part Harold was follow during the contest led into a part with small firs drawn like the design found on clothing materials. To an edge, Harold saw ‘Forest’ written in a clumsy handwriting and he, Harold, instinctively nodded his head as he understood what it meant.His eyes followed the ‘x’ trails again and only wavered once when an irregular circle was drawn quite a distan

“We have to keep everything safe,” Wilkes said as the trio stood on their feet, ready to go to the fields at a few minutes to 11 PM. “We've gotten to a point where we just can't risk anything or make mistakes.”Harold nodded in affirmation and Trisha looked around the dark room for the best spot to hide the letter in her hand and the map in Wilkes'.“Let's put them in here first,” Harold said, opening the mouth of his bag wide for them to put into his bag. When they had done that, he folded his bag in a way he knew the contents in it didn't stand a chance of tearing or soiling then he kept it under his bed.“Good spot?” he asked as he pushed his bag deeper and deeper—almost completely out of reach, under his bed that oozed a funny odour.“Yes.”“No,” Trisha countered quickly, holding her glasses by the handles against her face so that it didn't slip off and break. “Trust me, if anyone breaks in here

It was the end of a session and although Harold and Wilkes especially had been to a rough start, things got a lot better after the contest and as they stood in their room, getting ready to go home for the holiday, for the first time since they had gotten to the school, they felt and behaved like other students.“Who is coming to take you home?” Harold asked Wilkes as he eyes lazily landed on the messy heap of cloth that were in his bag. There was no way he was going to take his time rearranging them. No, that was too much stress.“I'm not very sure,” Wilkes answered as his eyes scanned the room for any of his belongings he might have missed. The room was pretty empty compared to how it had been two hours ago. Even the bulb that shone a dark light had been taken from its socket. “I mean, it is either my aunt or her husband; my uncle, or them both.” He sighed as he looked back at his huge travelling bag that was on his bed. “I don't think it mat

For the first time since the new intakes had been in Golden Lake University, rain fell.It was on a Friday and most of the semester had gone. Things had gone back to normal or at least, almost had.Sarah returned back to her park after being told all what happened by Harold. She promised not to tell anyone anything but deep down, Harold knew it was only a matter of weeks - a month or two, if lucky - before she told someone all she had been told. All the same, they did tell her everything. She deserved to know the truth.Derek, too, was back to his old self: lively, goofy and weird and with him was the love of his life, Penelope, who acted like the perfect housewife who without doubt, she was going to be. She seemed content that way.Although Wilkes never and probably never will admit it, the couple - Derek and Penelope - made him jealous. One of the reasons he had been excited to resume in Golden

"What does this mean?" Wilkes asked as he, too, bent his neck over the sheet of paper.Harold read the words again. Just like in the first letter he had gotten, this, too, was warning him of something in the most confusing way possible."I don't know," he replied. "But I do know that this is from professor Ericson. He must have written it before he died. You know, expected us to search his room when he was gone.""That's unlikely," Wilkes said dryly. "It most likely is to someone who knows of its existence behind the clock and that person definitely isn't you - or me. Besides, how are you so certain it is from professor Ericson?""The handwriting. They're... similar. Don't you see it?""I don't. At all." He sighed then continued, "we'll compare the handwriting of this paper and the one from the letter we are certain he handed to you together when all of these is over.""Yes, seems l

Harold and Wilkes waited in professor Ericson's office, doing nothing.When the party were first in the cavern, their footsteps reached up above where Harold was but after roughly a minute, there was nothing to tell that those that had gone down there existed.“Do you have any reasons why you wanted is to come here?” Wilkes asked when it was just the both of them in (Late) professor Ericson's office. Harold almost always had a plan. He knew that.Harold looked around the room like it was his first time being in it.“No,” he said. “I just wanted us to be here when they went down there.”Wilkes looked puzzled. That didn't seem like Harold.“But now that we're here,” Harold continued, oblivious of Wilkes confusion, “why don't we just look around for whatever we can find.”He paused for a while and looked at Wilkes before continuing, “we never know what we might f

Derek woke up with a series of cough.Penelope sprung out of the bed she was sat in and went to his side.“Are you okay?” she asked, wrapping her fingers around his arm. He was a lot thinner than he had been in the past.He fell silent for some seconds, “yes, I am okay,” he said, “how're you, too?” he asked, putting his other hand on hers which were on his arm.“I've never felt more alive than I am feeling right now,” she said.Derek chuckled, “that's good.”By then, Brie was also by his side but watched the both of them silently. Trisha sat in the position Penelope was in before, fiddling with her phone.Derek sat up and opened his eyes. He looked to his left and saw Sarah on the bed with him then he turned to look at Penelope, then Brie.“Thank you…” he said to Brie. “…for everything.” There was a short pause. “When you saw us down the

Trisha paced from left to right of Harold and Wilkes small room. It was either she was no longer aware of the presence of Brie and Penelope or she just wasn't bothered by their presence. The latter seemed the most feasible option."I'll have to call my dad this very moment," she said to no one in particular. She seemed to be talking to herself and the next second, her phone was in her hand, placing a call to reach her father.She brought the phone to her ear and waited. After what seemed like ages to the two females watching her, she breath in and out deeply, and began to speak."Hello, father," she started. There was a pause from her side because her father was talking. It went on and on and on but Trisha understood why. He hadn't spoken to his daughter in over a week and was worried something awful must have happened to her."Why didn't you pick your calls?" he asked. His voice was a lot louder than befo

Harold and Wilkes picked up pace as they ran back to Dr. Alvin Clarks's office. Their sneakers marched on the tuffs of grass and on the cemented pavement, too, but they didn't bother as they huffed and puffed. The breeze as they moved blew against their faces but that, too, didn't stop them. They had to get to Dr. Clark before he and the others left.When they got to the entrance of the building, they stopped running and walked in.The receptionist recognised them and gave them a small nod telling them to proceed with the reason they were there.The both of them acknowledged her nod and went to the elevator. They got in it and a few seconds later, they were on the top floor.They both walked down the absolutely beautiful but empty and very silent corridor slowly. They loved as their sneakers sunk into the red carpet the spread everywhere. They turned right and continued walking.“Do you think

Brie closed the door behind her with her leg. It made a loud snap that caused Derek to let out a soft moan as the sound wave caused his eardrum to tremble. She had the pizza box Penelope had asked for in her hand.“I didn't know which ones you like over the other so I went with good old Pepperoni.”Penelope's nose wiggled like a mouse's. “It isn't my favourite,” she started, “but isn't my worst either. Thank you,” she said as she got the box out of Brie's hands.She put it on the bed and walked to Derek' side. She knelt beside his bed but Brie peered down on him from above.“He's conscious already,” Penelope said, sounding like a small child who had just gotten a gift. She was talking to Brie.“Oh, has he?” Brie said, kneeling, too. “I can't handle it much any longer.”“Handle what?” Penelope asked, looking to her right, at Brie.“His sister, she has been dead worri
