Pennsylvania, 2018
Maria shook her head as she came down from the bus and took a short stride to her apartment. "Nothing that is as wonderful as knowing you are about to make a thousand dollars by simply watching a student throughout the night," she said to her roommate, Uju.
"I can imagine," Uju said, still looking at a book written by an English man with increasing difficulty.
"What are you doing?" Maria asked.
"Reading a book," Uju replied. "I am studying for a history exam that I have tomorrow."
"That is great. I wish you success in your exams."
Uju smiled. "Do you know Marco Paolo?"
"Marco Polo or Marco Paolo?" Maria asked.
"Which one is an Italian merchant?" Uju laughed.
"I supposed you mean Venice as Italy was not really a thing and that would be Marco Polo."
"Yeah him! Venice! I guess you know his relationship with Genghis Khan?"
"Yes I do," Maria replied, smiling. "I retain information like a
Munich, 2014"Do you guys understand what is going on in the outside world?" Carlos asked.They did not answer."I am glad three of you kept your mouth shut because I was wondering the same thing when I asked the question."Clark came forward, straining his eyes to see if there was any trace of insanity hidden inside Carlos' face. When he got closer to Carlos, he saw that he was staring at his wife who was in the kitchen, making food that none of them would eat."You can't just tell us to find Maria Blackwheel," Clark said. "Who the hell is she?""She is a descendant of James Blackwheel," Savannah explained, standing up and not daring to look at Carlos' face as Clark had did. "My husband mentioned her name three times when he was doing a research on werewolves. He said she was very powerful and could form a link between the human world and the world of the werewolves. He said she was a saviour. A woman destined to liberate mank
Pennsylvania, 2018Since Maria had about an hour to waste before going to visit the Longview's. She thought it would be best if she visited her friend, Abby who Uju had gone to visit so they could be three of them inside her apartment instead of two: Abby and Uju.Maria got her dress ready, had a quick bath and wore her dress. Her dress was a long flowing gown with a rose at its centre. A gift that one of her male friends had bought for her during Christmas."Beautiful!" She said to herself as she admired her body in front of a large mirror.After she was done making sure that her apartment's door was properly locked, she headed straight for Abby's apartment.At Abby's apartment, she found Abby alone, in her room, looking at some old pictures of herself and her family."Where is Uju?" Maria asked."She just left some minutes ago. She came to ask me if I knew anything about the first
Munich, 2014Clark reached towards Carlos' son and tried to take the gun away from his hand."Leave my son the fuck alone," Carlos said as if he wanted to get close to him and attack him as quickly as he could."What the fuck is wrong with you, Carlos?" Micheal slammed his palm on the sofa and looked down at Clark who now appeared to be in a state of distress as he was staring into the blank eyes of Carlos' son."Have you been smoking?" Savannah asked. "Take a look at her! She is bleeding to death.""All of you should leave her the fuck alone," Carlos said, adding a bit of Mexican to his words."You can still help her," Clark said, looking at Prisha who was now on the floor, bleeding."No one is helping no one in my own apartment. I decide who get treatment here. Only me decides not anyone of you. Do you understand me?"None of them responded."Good," Carlos said,
Rome, 2014Three blocks away from a popular restaurant in Rome, James Blackwheel shook his head as he approached a man dressed in white he had known for many years. Alberto!Blackwheel fought real hard to focus his thoughts on the man, but the situation he was trying to figure out was too bizarre to grasp rationally especially with the pace it was moving. About a month ago, he had finally found information pertaining to the missing necklace he had been looking for a long time, for centuries now. About a week ago, he was able to discover that Robert Lond who was also a member of the same brotherhood he paid loyalty to had delicate informations regarding the missing necklace that could set his mission back into action. Now, as he stood close to one of his trusted friends who had been with him through tough times over the centuries, Alberto, all he could think of was the strange call he had received from Oskar. A Swedish man and long time member of the brotherhood that wa
Rome, 2014Blackwheel sat at the table in the living room of Alberto's quiet home in Italy watching the snow fall past the window in silent drops as many things that happened during his short stay in Rome became clear to him as he pondered on the mystery of life, the mystery of his life, the mystery of the glorious cause of the brotherhood and the mystery of his salvation. Yes! He did not have to deny his uncertainty towards life nor did he have to hide behind the curtains and accept what he had not anticipated. A life far away from home and a life lost in the pool of his own shock.He thought of the necklace which he had last seen for almost two centuries and shook his head as Alberto came close to him and assured him that there was a way out to find the necklace again, to give him hope to a reality he once thought was lost. Blackwheel felt that a lot of people in the brotherhood wer
Rome, 2014Alberto took charge as he led the way back to the restaurant that they had left almost an hour ago. "We are looking for a restaurant that brings life into a troubled soul," he told a passerby who had promptly asked them out of courtesy where they were rushing to at a time when the sun was taking its stride away from the sun."Do you know the young man who just spoke to you?" Blackwheel asked."I don't," Alberto replied, truthfully. "It is just good to administer love and decency wherever you go in this world. The young man was nice to me so I had no other choice than to be nice to him too. Can you tell me what might be going on in his mind when I told him we were looking for a restaurant that brings l
Munich, 2014"He is still alive," Clark said, pointing at Carlos.Michael didn’t know whether it was the words of Clark or the sound made from the gun he just used that brought him to a state of consciousness, but it didn’t matter. Everything had happened so fast. So fast that he was unable to realize what he had done.From the angle he was looking at, when he shot Carlos, there was a slight progression of aggression that felt like newly made bottles that were ready to be broken at any point. For real, guns were created for different purposes all uniting to form one sole purpose. They were created to destroy, to conquer, to claim supremacy and to heal the broken in a strange irreplaceable way.
Rome, 2014As Blackwheel pushed his head upward, he felt his vision narrow slowly and he feared his sense of realization would slip away as Alberto repeated the words he had said to him."Maria Blackwheel is a direct descendant of Nneka, my daughter?" Blackwheel said and hit his head hard with his palm."She is your direct descendant," Sophia said. "And she is the one who is in possession of the necklace you have been seeking.""But how is that possible?" Blackwheel asked, looking into the eyes of Alberto. "I was thought Nneka was dead since she just disappeared into nowhere.""There is an explanation for everything, James. Y
