I screamed in horror upon opening my eyes. I couldn't believe it was a dream. Perhaps, it was a misnomer to call it a dream, it was a nightmare instead! My loud voice was not to be ignored by the Lycans. They quickly rushed to the bedroom where I was laying.The door moved inwards with full force when they opened it. The Alpha was the first to come in. "What's happened!""A few seconds later, Eric rushed in. "What the hell is going on here?" He hurried to sit beside my bird, just like the Alpha did before him. "What's the problem, Louis? Are you okay?" "Yes, tell us the problem. Was anyone here? Did anyone attack you?" Ammon stared through the open window to see if anyone was there. He focused back on me only when he was sure that, the suspicious window opening was free from any intruder. I could not answer any of their questions because I was still panting from the horrific image in my mind. I was speechless and all I could do was breathe even faster like I was in danger.Confused
I let them have some good laughs. Although I was still in the process of recovering from the horror I witnessed in my dream, the temptation to laugh alongside the Lycans. I tried my best to hold them but, I was constantly losing my ground until Eric caught me red-handed."Hey, I thought you are scared, why are laughing now, just like us?" Eric's words drew the attention of the Alpha. Amid his laughter, he asked."Yeah, are laughing just like us? Do we look funny?" He tabbed my shoulders with an unending smile on his face."She is yet to tell us the role Steve played in her dream, could it be he had nothing to offer?" Asked Eric. I had remained silent all the time they joke but, at the moment, I was cackling whilst trying to put them under control."He betrayed us! Steve betrayed us, I saw how and when he did that in my dream." As soon as I had finished talking, the expression on their faces changed at once. Their laughter died down as it seems they were ready to listen to whatever I
My hand have not moved an inch from the direction I was pointing to show them where I dropped the magic book. My eyes and mouth were wild open, I couldn't believe the scene I was witnessing. "Where is the magic book?" I asked in confusion. The Alpha did nothing but stared at me in total silence. I guess he was stunned. Only Eric was able to say something that brought us back to the painful reality at hand."The book is gone! Diana, Did anyone step into this house?" Eric walked towards the location where I left the missing Magic book. "Tell me, did you notice any suspicious movement all the time you were here?" He lifted the furniture to make sure the book did not fall off the ground. "No need for that, Eric!" The Alpha began at last. "The book is gone! That's nothing but the sad truth we need to hear. It did not fall off the ground, it was taken by someone who we don't know but, probably working for Bradley.""Who in the world knows we built a house here except Derek and some of the
There were long footsteps which led from the backyard to the vegetation nearby, just like Eric had described. It was a puzzling moment for all of us. Not only was the Alpha disappointed, but he also became dull. He was not full of energy as he used to be. He would take turns in glancing at me and Eric. "Who dared to do this to me?" He asked. "Anyone responsible for this will pay highly with his blood!" He sounded mean as he spoke. I could tell that his threats were no ordinary ones."How are we going to track the villain?" Asked Eric. "We will go after him! U don't care whoever he is but, we must get to him before it becomes too late!" The Alpha replied.I was still in shock and lacked the appropriate words to express how I felt. I only stared at the Alpha as he rattles his threatening words to the culprit. But again, I looked closely at the footsteps. An idea suddenly struck my mind. There was a strong impulse in me to follow the trail into the vegetation. As they watched, I began
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
