"Please, your highness! I pray you will forgive me for ever lying to you. Please, spare my life." Mr Smith bent his head, may out of respect for Magaritha, as the Witch Mistress began walking in his direction. I'm pretty sure that by now, Mr Smith must be as scared as hell. "Please, mam! I have a family to take care of. If any harm befalls me, they will all suffer!" His eyes were beginning to turn red as he pleads. "And how in the world, is that my bloody business?" Asked Magaritha. "I don't if you have a family to take care of or not!" She was almost standing close to Mr Smith. "As long as I'm concerned, I have no other use for you. Not anymore! First, you stole our book and sold it to me. Secondly, you lied to me! I think it will be a great injustice if I let you go without being punished!" As we watched, she raised her left hand and all of a sudden, a long sword appeared from nowhere in the raised hand. "You are responsible for what's gonna happen to you." She inched closer to hi
"Yes, I can see that you are about to make one of the greatest decisions of your life. I know your mother will be more proud of you," Magaritha eased a cunning smile. She had since paused walking in our direction. She was listening to what we were discussing. The Alpha was quick to counter her. "Not so fast witch! She is going nowhere as long as I'm concerned!" He told Magaritha before, turning to me to repeat the words he had said. "You are going nowhere, Loius! As long as I live, I swear with my life that I will never allow you to move an inch away from me!" "I'm in support of all you have said, Ammon!" Entered Eric. "Where you stand is where I shall stand, there are no two ways about that!" Such a statement from the Lycans, I'm sure will not go down well with the Witch Mistress. From the current expression on her face, I could tell she was very annoyed and disappointed. Perhaps, she was unhappy because what she thought that she was going to get without a fight was no longer pl
"Look at who we have over here!" Began Derek upon seeing Ammon. "I know our paths would cross for the second time. I was right about that! Just take a look at what is happening right now!" "I swear on my mother's grave that I will never let you go unpunished, you bloody backstabber!" The Alpha cursed. His curse was reinforced by the seemly angry Eric. Just like the Alpha, he was not pleased to see the very Lycan who stabbed them in the back. "You son of the bitch! I promise you will regret every one of your actions. You will surely pay a high price!" Eric was not angry, that was an understatement, he was fuming. I'm sure that he was opportune to fight Derek, he wouldn't hesitate or hold anything back, and he will allow the betrayer to have them all. He let Derek feel his great annoyance. He never took his eyes off Derek as he continued to breathe heavily in anger."Oh, easy boy! Take it easy, boys!" Derek smirked and tried to laugh about it but, I quickly interrupted his merriment w
The Alpha was about to react when all of a sudden, Eric showed up. He had just finished killing the last man he was fighting. So to speak, Bradley and his two accomplices were left with no army to protect them or to give some kind of leverage. Eric stood in front of the Alpha. "I'm sorry Ammon, but I'm gonna take this from here." He pointed at Derek this bastard son of the bitch, needs to be taught a lesson he will never forget!" "Oh yeah, look at who we have here," began Derek. "It seems to me that you have not learnt from our last encounter. I could have killed you on the spot but, I was so foolish enough to let you escape, by recommending that they should be put in prison. If I knew you would escape, I would have nailed you in the bud but, thank goodness you are back. It's time to correct the mistake I made the last time we met. Don't expect any mercy this time because you will never get one from me!" "Talk is cheap! Do you know why I hate you? You ought to know by now if you ha
Ammon was holding Bradley to the point of death, he lay on the ground almost unconscious. The Alpha had beaten the so-called leader of the Revolutionists to a pulp when all of the sudden, Magaritha came charging at the Alpha and Eric almost at the same time. I knew that she would unleash her powers on us if we don't do something fast. I guess the Lycans realised this too. "You have to go with Loius, now before it's too late!" Said Ammon. "Look, she is enraged and will stop at nothing until she kills us all! We have to decide if we must achieve victory in this fight!""So, what are you suggesting we must do?" Asked Eric.The Alpha turned towards my direction, amid the charge that the Witch Mistress was making toward them. ", Listen, Eric, there is no time. Like I said before, we must be decisive if we must aver the impending doom on our front. I want you to take Loius and flee. Don't worry about me, I will hold her off until you escape!"At once, my heart began skipping. Does he mean
I ran away from the scene without thinking twice. I had run about a kilometre then I remembered that I forgot to bring along the magic book. I was left in a dilemma. Do I go and pick the Magic book at the expense of my life or should I forget about it entirely and save my life? That was the question I asked myself. Both alternative answers to the question did not align with my interest. The magic book was pertinent to my journey and not just that, it was equally important if the curse that was placed on the alpha by Magaritha must be destroyed. I could not make a quick decision therefore, I stood in the middle of nowhere thinking of what to do. It seemed like it was one of the few moments in my life when my mind went dull. Magaritha's threat is real and not something I will have to gamble with. Because it was not easy for me to hastily decide on the next step to take, I had no choice but to find a good spot where I will rest my head and come up with a good plan.As if good luck was o
I was about to run but then, I saw the magic book laying on the ground while Magaritha was still making a spell. I was caught between saving my life and attempting to rescue the magic book which was much close to Magaritha. Amid my hesitation to run away, the Alpha called out again as Magaritha's threats grew."What the hell are you waiting for? I thought I told you to run away? Why the delay now?" His face was not bright, not at all, as he queried. I was also uncertain about how to explain to him my reason for hesitating. I was speechless nevertheless, I signalled to him by pointing at the book. "What are you are trying to show me? Wait a minute, are you dumb now?" The Alpha was visibly angry as he asked me. "The book over there!" I pointed at the book finally. He followed the direction of where I was pointing and saw the book."Is that what you can't say out?" As I watched he made a daring move and at once he picked up the magic book and threw it in my direction. Magaritha was yet
They all kept silent and stared at me for as long as they could. They could not talk but they can move. I really can't tell what the hell was going on! Was I hallucinating? It remains a question, I could not answer. I walked closer to one of the men. He was a talk huge man probably in his thirties. He stared at me as I approached him but did little to nothing. His colleagues also did nothing but kept gazing at me. Such as strange scenes! I wondered what was going on. Are these people real or was someone trying to mess up with my head? It was questioned, I cracked my head to answer but, no answer seemed to be coming at the moment.Suddenly, another thought came to my mind. I decided to try new things this time around. I glanced at the young man in front of me for a few seconds before deciding to do the unthinkable. I step on his toes with all my weight on his, to see if my action will elicit a response from him. He did nothing but, stared at me as I match his toes. It was supposed to
