"Nick!,Nick!!" Nicodemus heard his father call, nevertheless,he still remained in his room choosing to brood in silence.
His father joined him on his small bed with a comforting smile.
"What's wrong?" His father asked.
He looked up to his father with a saddened countenance.
"Why am I different?. No one wants to play with me and it is no different with you and mother always keeping me locked in this house." Young Nicodemus sighed.
His father pulled him into his grasp with his smile deepening.
"You're different because you're unique Nick. We're simply keeping you from the outside world because it's not safe."
The door cringed open with his mother peeking inside before joining them. She rubbed his dark brown hair gently.
"I've found a way to hide his magic,Barron" He heard his mother say yet confused what she was talking about.
Barron stared with a bit of concern.
"I have to suppress his witch nature and that will make him a dormant tribrid" she said.
"Keeping that side of him locked forever is a burden I don't wish to bear. Isn't there another way?" Barron asked.
She sighed again. "This is the only way Barron. The witches are tracking us down with his magic,besides,I didn't lock his witch nature forever I only spelled it to remain dormant till he dies."
"Till he dies?!" Barron asked with a questioning eyebrow.
She smiled slightly before stroking his hand with a worried look.
"Nick is already a child with so much power. I don't know if he'll be able to handle so much power if his Witch nature is left unlocked. Besides,the prophecy tagged him a monster. With so much power as a Tribrid I don't want him to tour down that path. I want him to prove to the world that he his not a monster they tagged him to be."
Barron held her cheek with a comforting look.
"Our child is not a monster. But if he dies without being able to use his witch powers have we not failed him as his parents.?"
"We're doing everything to protect him. Besides,if he inevitably dies his witch nature will be unlocked and will be strong enough to resurrect him." She pursed her lips. "This is the only way Barron."
Barron nodded but she could still see the hesitation and concern in his face. She stroked his palm gently with an assuring smile.
"Nick..." She called softly while she held out his palm. "This will hurt a bit" she gently cut his palm with a small knife before holding the palm and having Barron's in the other. Her eyes closed shut with auspicious energy filling the air as she mumbled a spell.
"It is done" She finally opened her eyes while he nodded.
"Do you hear that?" Barron sniffed the air with a concerned expression from the rustling he heard outside."They are here!" Barron's eyes exclaimed while she gasped. "Take Nick and run as far as you can. I don't know how long I can hold them off."
"No Barron, let's escape together. These people are ready to kill you and I'm not ready to lose you." Theresa responded with her eyes gradually getting soaked.
"If we do that we'll both die Theresa. Please leave,I'm not ready to lose my son too." He kissed her and his son one last time before exiting.
She broke down in tears as Barron slipped through the door.
"Mother..." She heard Nick say with a worried expression on his face. "Why are you crying?" He asked. She briefly wiped off the tears that streamed down her cheek.
"Nothing. Dust I think." She lied poorly. She carried him and some belongings before touring down an underground door.
"Where are we going?" Nick asked.
"We're going somewhere very special." She responded trying as hard to contain the tears that gradually soaked her face.
"What about my father?" Nick asked yet again. His heightened senses could pick the ruckus happening around the house.
She stopped abruptly,clasping onto his shirt tightly as she carried him in her arms. It took a while before she could continue her walk.
"He has some work to do. Don't worry he'll be joining us soon."
YEAR 1046
"And that is how my great Alpha Barron died protecting his son." Nicodemus pronounced,moving proudly in the Chambers of the new Alpha of his father's pack.
"You are an abomination to this world and yet he chose to side with you. It is just a shame he died a dishonorable death." Said the Alpha.
"And it is also a shame you shalt die in my hands." Nicodemus stopped in front of the Alpha with a sinister grin while the royal guards took fierce stance ready to launch at him.
"Should I be threatened? because obviously you're the foolish one here to come into a pack of werewolves." The Alpha laughed.
"Is this all the wolves you have?" Nicodemus blurted with his hands in the air as he gestured. "Because today,Alpha Geraldton,you will die by my hands!"
Alpha Geraldton let out a growl as he arose from his throne seat.
"Guards!" He ordered.
A score of beta werewolves launched at Nicodemus with their speed but Nicodemus being faster due to his Hybrid nature snapped their heads off their neck. The remaining 10 left stood awestruck at his ruthless killing but Nicodemus didn't stop he trotted at them with his speed,ripping hearts out of their chest,biting and sucking them dry. The more that came at him the more his monstrous side overcame him. He devoured at least half of Alpha Geraldton's army before letting out a sigh. He had grown tired of their naivety. They can't beat him yet they're following their Alpha's order blindly.
"Is this all you have,Alpha?"
He watched in ecstasy as The Alpha finally lost his temper. His eyes changed to a dangerous red with claws extending from his hands and sharp canines gleaming in the open.
He charged towards Nicodemus with fury coursing through his veins. He was ready to shred the immature Tribrid into pieces.
Nicodemus grabbed him by the neck with a sinful smile.
"I told you,your death is inevitable!" He growled before twisting the neck.
"If you know you want to live join me,let me be your Alpha but if you choose otherwise..." Nicodemus pursed his lips with a sinister smile as his finger poised at their dead Alpha. "You shalt face the same fate as this wretched fool."Fear toured down their spines as he pronounced those spiteful words. They easily remembered the chicken death their Alpha faced;how Nicodemus twisted the neck without fuss.The bowed their head,all falling to their knees reluctantly whilst Nicodemus let out a smile;a conqueror's smile."Alpha Geraldton is dead!,spread the word and tell the witches that Nicodemus is coming!" He announced with ego filling his tone. They all bowed their head in fear while he approached his father's throne with the feeling of nostalgia.No one dared to stop him,he was the heir after all."Today...Regent Beaumont shalt die by my hands!" He pronounced when he finally sat. Their bo
"The tribrid killed Supreme Alpha Geraldton,he has broken the rules for which he must be punished. Let us waste no time and gather our army to do justice to that abomination!." Alpha Rai,the second in command muttered amidst the meeting of the supernatural."Let's not forget that Nicodemus is part werewolf and belongs to his father's pack therefore killing Alpha Geraldton is the werewolves business and not the supernatural community." Dragon lord Draxler commented whilst the leaders of each community turned to him in awe of his words."Dragon lord Draxler!,we should also not feign ignorance that Nicodemus massacred scores of witches and warlocks,let alone abducted one of our leader,Regent Beaumont." Liliana,second in command for the witches community retorted."He is also part witch!" Draxler answered firmly."You know the law, Draxler" Mirabelle,Alpha Queen of the hybrid community interjected. "As a breed between t
"Dragon lord Draxler..." Nicodemus mentioned as the Lord of the dragons emerged into the dungeon alongside his wife and guards."I never thought someone this innocently looking could be such a monster." The old man bellowed with a sad smile comforting his face. "Your father sacrificed his life to save you from death,to save you from becoming the monster the prophecy termed you but look at you now..." Draxler uttered with disappointment expressed on his face."I was not born a monster,I was just a little lad whose parents were forcefully taken away because they loved him." Nicodemus paused with a saddened countenance hanging on his face."It is the supernatural community that made me a monster.""We had no choice...the prophecy told us clearly that you will be our end" Draxler responded."So you all summoned yourselves up to kill an innocent child based on a prophecy that coul
Year 1046"My name is Nicodemus!...Son of Great Alpha Barron and Regent Theresa." Nicodemus bowed courteously in front of Mirabelle whilst the other hybrids in the woods jumped to their feet ready to attack as their ears picked the words of the famous tribrid.Mirabelle signalled to her guards,holding them off before a smile crossed her face."I am honoured to meet you,handsome lad." Her smile deepened as she stared into his grey Iris. "What do you want?,for you are no fool to walk into my lair without counter measures."He grinned at her with pleasure flooding through his veins. "Of all leaders that I have met,you are the most reasonable." He acknowledged casually.She smirked with a scoff. "I have been ruling the hybrids for a century now,of course I should have some wisdom." She responded confidently.Nicodemus sighed briefly before touring round the grounds."As
"This prophecy will surely come to pass and there shall be no stopping it." Mirabelle sighed heavily while her hands ruffled her hair braid lines. Her closest companion,Jacob only stood by her watching the former alpha wallow in confusion and sorrow.The cold wind that blew across the forest sent shivery shocks down his spine at the thought of Nicodemus. In times past he was good at advising Mirabelle,showing her the ways when she went wrong but this time he was just as dumbfounded as his leader."My Desires has caused me my downfall. I let that bastard tribrid outsmart me,Now I'm in trouble. Once the Supernatural community hears of my betrayal they shalt waste no time slaying me neither can I side with Nicodemus. His cunningness is beyond normal." She glanced at him briefly before resigning to the woods."What do you plan to do now?" Jacob asked with concern. He knew that regardless of her fall she'd remain firm.She held his
"Help!... Help!!....Help me!" Were the screams of the young lady as she ran past bodies of her fellow villagers laying lifelessly on the ground with Vampire bite marks appearing across their necks.She came to an halt abruptly,terrified at the monster that appeared to her in the night that hung deeply.His glowing red eyes pierced through the darkness with a threatening growl. Her hot tears couldn't stop itself from streaming down her cheeks as she trembled."Are you scared,my love?" Nicodemus asked huskily as he approached her close enough to feel her wavy breaths.She shivered as his hand toured down her teary cheek."Please don't kill me" That was all she could mutter in her shivery status.
"Mother" Theresa turned to her 16 year old son as he stood in his sack cloth watching her gather dry woods for the night. She noticed the burdened eyes that hung on his usually happy face."What's wrong?" She easily asked with a concerned expression while she dropped her work to face him squarely."Why do we keep on running?,I lost my father,why do I feel like I am going to loose you too?. You do so much for me and I can tell beneath your happy smile you're still sad,I hate it that I can't help you in these burden you carry." He pursed his lips. "Am I a burden?" "No honey.." she arose to him touching the warmth of his cheek with tears forming slowly in her eyes. "You're not a burden. You are my light,the world's light." Her hands caressed his cheek gently with a comforting smile. She brought him to the small hut making him rest on her thigh."Let me tell you a sto
As Nicodemus entered his secret Chambers alongside Greece he stopped with his back turned towards his Gamma."No matter how many that swears their loyalty to me,there are still traitors amongst us!."Greece sighed silently but Nicodemus could still hear. Even after demonstrating his ruthlessness who would dare to betray him?,Greece thought."I know you think I'm problematic but you will agree with me that majority out there only joined me because they had no choice. Hence,they have no respect for me nor sworn loyalty." Nicodemus turned to him. "How do I win this war?, Greece."Nicodemus watched his Gamma swallow his saliva down his throat,pinching the area between his eyebrow."Like you said before,we fight with our strong will."Nicodemus scoffed. "As far as I'm concerned,only I have the strong will. As my Gamma,you'll have to do better in your thinking and be stronger

LAST CHAPTERThis Night would be a troubling one but it will be triumphant. Everyone that breathed in the Academy except those locked in the dungeons gathered themselves outside in the humid darkness to watch the final battle for the fate of the Supernatural world.Nicodemus stood upfront with Arthur by his side. They were all waiting patiently for the arrival of the monster. Eve. The plan is simple. Nicodemus will stab the monster's heart with the precious weapon of his parents and from there his power too will be drained off into the weapon causing the heavy magnitude of power to kill both of them momentarily.They all startled in fear as they saw Eve appear meters away before them. Arthur handed the Stake-like weapon to Nicodemus immediately."I was wrong." Arthur heard Nicodemus say. "Love isn't the weakness of a man. It is the strength. You have a good heart and I know you wo
Once the fight was over. The rest disappeared into the building while Sabrina stayed. She continued to stare at the sizeable amount of blood spilled from the monster and there was Nicodemus's too. Perhaps their blood might be of use. So she spelled two empty jars to her palms. One would be to retrieve The monster and the other for Nicodemus's.She walked to the damaged ground where plenty of the monster's blood lay. She opened the first jar before closing her eyes shut. This spell would take it's toll on her due to little energy she had left."Calicus liberie retrieva, Calicus liberie retrieva, Calicus liberie retrieva, Calicus liberie retrieva!....." She felt the little power of hers draining as the spell began it's work. The black blood rose gradually and steadily into
Dreams. Dreams are our fantasies that we want to become a reality. Even as much as we work hard towards building that perfect reality of ours,this small world we live in will always have the final say. In the end,those dreams grows from a brightly burning fire to a faint light and becomes a castle built in the air. They never come true.Arthur would say he was put in this position. A life where his dreams would never ever come true,a life where his dreams seems so faraway from reach.There she was,the lady he loves dearly crying helplessly in his arms while his friends watched with tears in their eyes too. Was this what he deserves?,a life with no peace."Look at this statues. They are a perfect work of art!."They all turned to the
"He had us played the whole time. Checkmated from the beginning." Arthur added when Sabrina finished narrating their ordeal with Nicodemus."He has a family. A happy one at that." Arthur's hand curled into a fist. The five years they spent in search for a weapon was all for nothing. While they were suffering, Nicodemus was busy the whole time enjoying his life with his family. Once his eyes fell on that adorable kid and his innocently looking mate,he lost the motivation to kill his Sire. But there was still one question left."Why did Nicodemus hesitate in killing us when he had the chance to?." He didn't know when he inadvertently voiced out his thoughts."Probably to enjoy seeing us suffer more." Vincent responded with a frown.
NEW ORLEANSFear. Fear has been the only feeling that reigned for centuries. If it isn't fear of the Tribrid then it is of death or of being dominated or of failing or of trying or of loosing someone you deeply care about.These were the feelings Nicodemus was accustomed to. He expected New Orleans supernatural community to be in great turmoil over his sudden appearance,he expected that feeling of fear but all what he was seeing were different. The communities were in great disorder. They craved for death but all that came were more suffering,pain and helplessness.Packs were already deserted, Covens were a living burial ground and Vampires a living disaster.Faith was greatly disturbed by the scenes she was viewing,thankfully Audrey was fast as
5 YEARS LATERYEAR 2020THAILAND"Audrey!...Audrey!..." Faith's voice echoed throughout the house. "Audrey!..." She emerged into the parlour,her eyes scampering about in search of that small figure."Nick!...help me." She approached him on the dining where he was busy with office files and a cup of coffee.Nicodemus sighed."Audrey!..." His voice echoed throughout the room also. He did it to pacify her. Ever since the day broke,their daughter have been driving her crazy. He almost laughed as he took a quick glance at his wife stressed face.Faith picked up the rustling sound upstairs with her Werewolf hearing. She quickly climbed the steps with a smile."
THAILANDMonths passed and no word from the Tribrid. Even his army had no clue where he was or if he were still alive. The search for Faith too had died down apparently from hopelessness. Many rejoiced from the freedom of the reign of terror,basking in the theory that the Tribrid is most probably dead but only a few knew he was still alive. Hale and Hearty. Sarah,Draxler,Ria were the only beings who knew the Tribrid still existed.Nicodemus stared through the glass wall of his house enjoying the Beach's view. His life was much more easier and happy with his mate. Though they were living their life in secrecy,but this were the best moments of their lives. Their house was designed in sheer resemblance to a normal house. A house where they lived in simplicity.&
"Reece!!"He trotted to her just before she touched the ground. His body shivered in fear and sheer agony while he held her head in his hands. He pulled out the stake behind her. She gasped with more blood gushing out of her mouth. Tears streamed down Faith's face just as it did for Nicodemus."Don't do this!..." He stuttered as she held his cheek with a sad smile. Her eyes were slowly fading into the cold hands of death."I'm s-sorry..." He heard her say in a whispery tone. It further broke him. His hands squeezed her cloth tightly as more of the tears flowed."I can't have you dying on me Reece!. Don't die!." He yelled but it was too late. It was like time slowed as he watched her hand drop from his cheek to the ground. Her e
