I was still holding the piece of paper in my hands when Ammon and Eric arrived. I was so absorbed and shocked as well that, I barely took notice of their presence when they arrived."What are you doing, Louis? Is this what you are doing the whole time, holding a piece of paper in your hands?" The Alpha asked. He was not tolerant this time. He let me feel his displeasure by the tone of his voice. Eric also had something to say. "It seems to me she is reading some words written on the piece of paper." Eric inched closer to my side. He had approached me from the left side. I raised the piece of paper closer to his position so that, he could get a better view of what I was reading. The Alpha on the other hand was still adamant to believe that my visit to the vegetation had done any good to his cause. He was standing only four metres from us."Come on, Eric! What are you doing too? Do you think that this is funny? Why are the two of you staring at that piece of paper as if, it is a very
For more than two hours now we have laying in an ambush for our suspect. The piece of paper which we attributed to him has made him our prime suspect. However, if Mr Smith was indeed the one who took the magic book from us then, on what purpose? What was his intention? I asked myself, knowing quite alright that the answer to the question is far from me."Are you sure he is going to take this route today? We have been here for over two hours now and still, there is no sign of him in our sight. Are you that we are at the right place?" The Alpha breaks his silence after a long time. I guess he would have said that a long time ago, given the expression I had noticed on his face.Eric saw the Alpha's negative view of our battle plan as an opportunity to criticize it. He had been vocal against staging an ambush for Mr Smith since we are not sure if he would follow the route. "I told you that it was better to go into the city, disguised and lure that bastard outside the city then, we can do
Mr Smith stepped down from his cart, he was standing face to face with the Alpha. He stared at Ammon speechless. I observed from our hiding place how had become surprised by the sudden appearance of the Alpha."Who are you? began Mr Smith, as he tries to hold back his movement. "Don't tell me that, man! Don't even pretend you don't recognize this face?" The Alpha pointed at his face as he pressed further. "I have no idea who you are!" He paused but never took his eyes off Ammon. "If you don't mind, son, you can go out of my way, as you can see my horses needed to be dealt with." He tried to advance but, was quickly blocked by the Alpha. Ammon pushed Mr Smith's chest slightly with one of his hands. "Wait! Not so fast man! Are you still insisting you don't know me?"He glanced at the Alpha's hand who was still on his chest. "Was that push meant to stop me? Look, I don't know who you are and that's nothing but the truth." "Your name is Smith, am I right?" Insisted the Alpha."Yes, th
First, it looked as if Eric was serious about his threat as he pulled his sword from the sheath. Next, he pointed the dangerous sword at Mr Smith's face, while the Alpha held on tightly to the grip he was having on the man's arms. I was not in Mr Smith's body but, I could tell he was in great pain. "Where do I stab first Mr Smith?" Eric asked with a wicked smile as he moved the long sword down to the man's abdomen. "I think, here will be a great spot to start with. I'm sure that if I burst your belly, all the good meals you have had will be spilt to try ground and lost, as your entrails will be destroyed as well." His voice did not sound merciful as he spoke. I saw fear on Mr Smith's face when he quickly turned to me for help. He was almost crying, it was a bizarre scene to witness a man with grey hair crying and begging for his life."Please, young lady, I beg of you. Don't let him do this to me. This is the most insane way to die. Please, don't let him get on with this." The fit
"Promise me with your life that I will not be killed if I co-operate with you? Promise me you will not make to pay for my crimes." At last Mr Smith began sounding positive, indicating he was going to finally cooperate with us!"Meanwhile, I glanced at the Alpha to see if there was any reaction on his face. I was expecting him to agree to whatever terms Mr Smith brings along with him as long he will tell us what happened to our magic book and where we can find it. "Go on and tell us everything. We will not harm you!" Cheered the Alpha. At the same time, he relaxed the punishment he has been inflicting on Mr Smith. He asked Eric to do the same so that, Mr Smith can feel relaxed when talking to us.With the little assurances we had given him, Mr Smith began confessing at last. "Loius!" he called. I never took my eyes off his face because I didn't want to miss a piece of what he had to say. "Yes, Mr Smith, go on! I'm here and I'm paying close attention to what you have to say," I end u
"Wait a minute!" Ammon cuts in without wasting any time upon hearing what Mr Smith had said. "Are you telling us that you had a hand in the attack on us?" "I'm ashamed of myself, for doing such a despicable act. I regret my actions!" Mr Smith looked down and dared not to look into our eyes. Maybe, he was indeed sorry for his wicked deeds.Eric tabbed him on the shoulders. "No doubt, you had a hand in the attack against us. Hmmm, I see you are a very cunning man!" Eric appeared to be kidding as he spoke. The clear expression on his face made it clear he must be impressed by Mr Smith. As if, the criticism he had received was not enough, the Alpha began. "How could you do such horrible things? We have done you no wrong! You don't even know who we were! This is nothing but mere wickedness!" The Lycans were not the only ones left in bitterness. I also expressed my disappointment. "I knew it!" I exclaimed. "I knew you were up to something when you strangely stared at me. I knew there was
While we stared at him in confusion, Mr Smith resumed. "That's the problem I have about your book right now. I'm very sorry," he looked downwards. "It's no longer in my possession, Magaritha has it! I sold it to her." There was a moment of silence. It appeared as if the three of us were speechless. We kept gazing at him unsure of what to say or what to do. It's now clear that the task ahead was no easy one. The only way we can retrieve the magic book from the witch mistress is to confront her and defeat her. Things could get complicated. Fighting her will incur the wrath of the Revolutionists and maybe, that of Milan as well. "Where can we find her now?" At last, the Alpha began speaking again, this time by asking a question. I'm pretty sure he must have given the new development a long thought. "How do we get to her?""My son, I'm sorry to put you through this but, I don't think you can retrieve the book you seek, as long as it lies in her hands," said Mr Smith."And what makes you
There was a strange type of breeze which heralded her arrival. She was dressed in a black robe with a long staff which I believe to be housing her magic powers. It was the first time I'm meeting her in person. I thought I was never gonna meet her until her downfall, how wrong was! She couldn't wait for me to meet her instead, she came has come to meet me. If only she had allowed me to master the art of magic as she has, I wouldn't be terrified and much concerned about the way I was at that moment. I was scared because, I believe her magic skills and powers are greater than mine therefore, I stand no chance of defeating her if we should start a fight. The Alpha, on the other hand, lacked the Lycan power to back him up if any should start. He is well built or should I say, he was physically fit. His muscular physique, I'm sure will anyone seeking to fight him to rethink before, heading into disaster. Although he has all the qualities attributed to a warrior, I was certain he will not
