I finally left the school premises a few hours later, it was quite dark. I was already addicted to the dark as Mr. Gregory and I usually spent a lot of time together, especially teaching me in class after school every day and training me in the gym.
The competition I was preparing for was mind-blowing, something that consisted of both physical and mental reasoning.
We spent the earlier part of the afternoon going over mission plans, playing games, and gisting.
I had Complicated schemes and schedules either to win or save, the game had two outcomes, I saved them, or we all perished.
In the gym, I sweated profusely and probably stank where a girl shouldn't stink, but this was how it usually ended.
I needed to be at my best if I wanted to pass. My luck has finally run out, I skipped In my walking my ears trying to cipher whose voice I just heard. For a second I looked at a log of wood in front of me, contemplating if I should make a run for it, I was a good runner.
My body flew high over the log of wood as I landed on the ground with my elbows, I felt a sharp pain shooting across my chest and my ankles. I heard footsteps as Jeffrey got closer to where I fell, he got down on my back and growled as he subdued me.
I could see his eyes change from blue to red and back again, losing control, Fear gripped me. The hierarchy in every country of the world was the same, we had royal wolves born of true Alphas and Omegas, then Betas that had only true Alphas blood or true omegas blood, never both.
Then at the lowest were half Betas who were descendants of the children of Betas only on one side. The level of wolves was a truly confusing concept and even I got confused at times.
I tried pulling him away from me but he held me too tight. I could even hear my backbone snap as my face cap fell off. As he pulled his hand from my body, he was trying to shove my eyeball back into my skull.
My body was dragged on the ground by Jeffrey's friends into a crowded corner at the tea shop close to school.
"Jeffrey….stop….stop" I tried saying. I knew I couldn't mutter a loud word, I pleaded with them but they paid no attention to what I was saying. All they wanted to do was to accomplish their mission.
I was panting faster like a running deer as I couldn't keep my eyes fixed and opened because I was feeling dizzy, likely to faint. "What am I gonna do with you?" He asked as he came low towards me forcing his hands into my shirt.
They were still all dressed in the clothes they wore to school today. And probably they didn't go home after closing from school, they've been smoking, drinking, and tracking me all day long.
"You should give me the same piece of shit you have been giving to our teacher" I don't understand why you can't give me the same, as he sounded entitled to my body. I managed to pull myself up as I rolled to lean on the wall.
The wall I relaxed on, served as a point of comfort while I was still at war with these miserable fellows.
Don't come close to me, Jeffrey. "You don't want to do that to yourself I warned" they all burst into laughter, probably thinking I was flattering them.
They didn't know why I stayed away from people, crowded areas, and even my classmates, why I chose a lonely existence instead of having fun with my peers.
There was a reason I wanted them to leave me, but they couldn't let me leave, they were going to find out why.
"Look at this brainless idiot" as he threw a mud brick at my head, I took my handkerchief from my pocket and wiped the blood off my face, seeing the blood on my face fed the wolf in me more than your body can.
So I am going to mess you up and take pictures of you, something the school will like to see in the assembly ground tomorrow, beg me to end you before we are done, you are surely going to regret this.
I needed to do something that the conscience of my actions won't plague me after deciding. "I understand there is something you want I said, we can agree".
You never agreed when we tried talking about it, "wow things are getting more interesting he said". Since you want to be sincere with this agreement, he laughed as he signals his friends.
"Spread her legs and make them free. I love them when they fight back. As he pulled his zip down I struggled and pushed him away.
I felt fingers and claws around My thigh, I tried struggling more, not wanting my pants to be pulled down. It finally registered to me that it was particularly cold that evening.
I Was nothing compared to their strength, and the fact that they were calling their wolves to the surface.
My eyes began to change and I saw a twinkling flash before my eyes, I called into my wolf, something I had only done once.
"Take her far away and hide her, find a sorcerer, and put a controversy in her mind. We must prevent anyone from seeing her"
"I am afraid…. "
"Don't be. I'ill meet with you again once it's time. Now take her and run as fast as you can".
It was the only memory I could remember from my past, something I never knew was still in me, but It came rushing down at that instance, and then I turned into a fierce beast.
I will think back to that evening and weep bitterly, I would remember Jeffrey on top of me, withering away into the evening cold.
My breath was coming out faster as I ran, I thought I heard footsteps earlier but it was now quiet. I had been running at the top of my breath and I knew I couldn't run any longer but I wouldn't stop.It was late in the night, and it was cold, very cold. The houses I passed were quiet, most people were already asleep. I didn't know where I was but I noticed the houses seemed to have changed, I knew I wasn't hallucinating.Inside of me was unstable as my mind kept trying to collect what had happened, but I didn't want to recall the incident, what I had done, what I had let happen, and the power that got unleashed once again.My hands got cold and my calm breathing began to grow harsh again, as I knelt holding my chest. The image of Jeffrey was stuck in my head, at some point it went blank …. I couldn't believe it, but it wasn't there any longer.I had fainted the moment I felt the control of the spell letting go and slipping away. The last thing I could remember was their faces.I stoo
All that happened the previous day, rang in my head, and the bad scene registered in my head and made me feel sober.The Alpha police were still on the case, as they were the most important armed men in the whole of the East countries. They were only involved in dangerous and deadliest cases.I stood from my bed and walked around my apartment trying to flush the occurrence in my conscience. Nobody knew how I'd suffered in Bloomsville, for sure I had always behaved as if everything was going fine.I sat on my study desk thinking of how powerful and destructive the incident was, which prompted a whole squad of Alpha police to come for an investigation.I always knew the beast in me was an ancient enchantment that had come to reality. I had to keep it secret from the present world if I wanted to live.But I had already left traces of my powers that an investigative squad was already looking into. I felt angry about my behavior and my life. I was already scared of getting caught.I was in
"Hey dear" take a little water and feel alright, I felt a cold object on my lips as I open my eyes slightly. My stomach rumbled as I had just drunk too much water.I finally looked around as I was on a cushion facing the dining. "The food is ready, come and help yourself out, cassie" You are at my house, you don't need to be afraid, he said as he brought more plates to the table. I stood up and headed for the dining table while leaning against the wall.I held the dining chair as I sat slowly, still feeling the ache in my stomach. It felt as if I just did a hundred push-ups.Mr. Gregory sat opposite me and stared intently into my eyes. I felt he wanted to say a lot of things but doesn't know where to bring up the questions from.Do you remember what happened today at the gym? I almost said no.I almost shook my head in denial, not wanting to make things more complicated as they were already complicated.I nearly ignored that there was a problem on the ground that needed to be address
It was a day to the trial, I and Mr Gregory were sharing a snack on his cushion, something we usually did every day after training. I had stopped going to school about the same time I and Mr Gregory became a team, we decided that it would be better if I utilise my time for training, both mental and physical. And it had been worth it, my mind was as versatile as ever and my body was perfectly formed, every muscle tightened and perfected to give a hundred percent.We said nothing for a long time, just sat and listened to the loud radio while eating."Are you ready yet?" He finally broke the silence"No" replied simply. And it was thetruth"How did you feel when you received the invitation?" He asked againI didn't understand the twenty questions, but I figured there was a reason behind it, there always was."Cassie come to the kitchen" Mr. Gregory called out.I was on the ground floor of his apartment building, one of the rooms being the general gym everyone in the building used."I'
We watched as the podium they all stood on lowered slowly, taking them along until they were underneath the hall and covered.The ground we all stood on shook and reverberated as something unimaginable happened before our eyes. The four walls of the huge hall unhinged from the edge and opened up slowly, like literally opened up and all four walls slowly fell back to the ground. We were in the centre of a forest, a huge forest. We were all on the floor of the hall and the hall itself was in the middle of a clearing with surrounding forest all around us.Up on the sky literally just hanging was a digit counter, and it had the figure one thousand written in words. I bet you could see that from anywhere in the forest, I guess that was the whole point"Here are the rules" it was forest eye's voice but on a loud speaker, we could all hear him loud and clear, it was just like another part of squid game"There are no rules in this round. Get to the edge of the forest and get on the boat.
I thought the knot holding me to the tree would not withstand the force of my body being shaken over and over again. So I had to turn over again and hug the tree as tightly as I could. I was getting dizzy as if I was going to faint and I could have sworn that a little of the food I ate earlier had gotten back into my mouth.I was going to dieThe thought came into my mind and the fear inside me ignited. I had not proven anything to myself or to anybody and here I was about to die. The thought didn't sit well with me, I didn't want to die, not now, not yet.The constant hitting and pulling was having an effect on the tree, and I couldsee as far away roots of the same tree snapped as they were pulled deep from the ground. The monster literally held the whole uprooted tree in his embrace. I thought I was dizzy before, but I wasn't, not yet.He swung the tree in his arms here then there, trying to shake me off the tree. I didn't even realise when I closed my eyes, and I was really ge
It stood facing the water with me still in its grip. It's hold on me was no longer tight and my ribs had fully mended. I had no idea what it wanted with me until it walked forward towards the water, as if to dive inside, then everything clicked.This monster wasn't comfortable eating me because it wasn't in its natural habitat, it had been forced to kill and eat the player that attacked earlier but that was all. I on the other hand was going to be taken into the water where it actually lived, to be properly eaten. I needed to get out of its grip if I intended to live, if I got into the water with it, it was game over for me.I tried extending one of the fingers I had stuck in its palm. It was hard and it felt squished against my body but I did it anyway. When my finger was aimed at a part of its body, I immediately called my wolf to the surface.This was very risky because all the time I had called my wolf, people died because I didn't have control of my powers, but I didn't exact
We were about to take off when I saw the pregnant woman and the man had also started untying their boats as well. It wasn't long before everyone was doing the same. I guess they had just been afraid to do it.We were all soon underway. Even the very injured ones had a boat of their own and were all rowing.It was a complex boat but with a simple mechanism of usage. All we had to do was sit on the edge and row, it wasn't even heavy.I looked down in my boat and saw that there was a compartment. I stopped rowing and shuffled towards it. It was easy to pull open and inside it was a crossbow, some knives, a net and a map.I was quick to take the map and look into it.That bastard, every single word he had said had an innuendo. I thought as I recalled what the instructor had said to us.I looked up and realised that they had all stopped rowing and were watching me.When had they all started looking up to me?"Take a look at the compartment and look at the map!" I shouted, waving the one in
