5. They Met

Heathrow barged into Delia's room. His annoyance and disappointment were obvious. He didn't want Delia to ruin all they have planned, to him they had done way to much to spoil it all now. 

    Heathrow was taken by surprise as he found Delia on her bed screaming and crying. Her black dress laid on the ground, totally ripped apart. She was seated on her bed wailing with only her underwear. 

      Heathrow picked up a towel and covered her with it, and gently embraced her. He could feel the warm tears fall on his shirt and he felt compassionate. He murmured a few words of encouragement but Delia took none, she kept on wailing aloud and screaming in desperation. 

      After a while, she stopped screaming and then began to accuse Heathrow for her sorrows. "YOU LIED TO ME. I HATE YOU. I HATE YOU MORE THAN I HATE HER. YOU'RE SUCH A LIAR."

"Delia, I've never lied to you and I'll never lie to you, and… you know that. You know that, Delia. I will never lie to you."

     "But…what about when you told me that when my mother dies, I'll be free from weakness, you told me that when she's dead I'll be powerful, unstoppable and godlike."

     "Yes. Yes, I meant all of it."

    "Really, because it seems like I'm now the exact opposite of what you promised. Now, I have to cry and weep like a baby. I have to look like a grieving weak little girl every time someone passes, and…I'm pretty sure that that's not how POWER FEELS LIKE!!!"

     Heathrow shifted a strand of hair across her face and held her face with his two large hands. "Delia, all you need to do to attain such power is to exercise some Patience."

      "PATIENCE!!! Oh no, I'm so so done with that, okay? I'm done with the acting, the pretense, the good girl behaviour, the crying, telling lovely stories that never happened, I'm done with all of that. I WANT ACTION."

       "OK, OK, OK. No problem, we will act but for now, making everyone know that you killed your own mother will result in a rebellion. So you have to wait for the appointment of you as the new Alpha and after that you can do everything you want."

       "Did you hear me at all, Heathrow or have you suddenly grown DEAF. I WANT…."

     "ACTION." Heathrow yelled back, his voice making Delia tremble with fear. "If you really want the Power that you so much desire, you'll have to listen to me. You know that I'm your only chance of getting power, so listen and learn. You literally have two options, either you listen to me and gain Power or you FAIL.  Then,we both know that in time everyone will find out that you are the KILLER, and then you will be crushed like a little powerless cockroach that you are… currently."

     Delia eyes were fixed on Heathrow and she watched as he stood up and walked towards the door.  

     At the door, he said. "One last thing. I am fed up with your insults. For god's sake, I'm your Uncle. You had better grown some manners or I'll teach you some."

     Heathrow slammed her door shut as he walked out of her room. He silently cursed Delia as he walked into his room and from his reading table, picked up a golden coin and a big old book which had probably survived for centuries. He put on a dark cloak before walking out and locking the door. From the silence of the house, it was obvious that no one apart from Delia was inside, so he walked freely to his horse which he had tied to a tree at the back of the house. 

     From there he rode into the large  fields and was headed to the Wolfblood River.

Reven watched Natalie and her pack talk to the Seers also known as the History Keepers. 

      After some time, she walked away from the group and walked into the faraway hills. He followed her for several minutes until he was certain that they were far enough from her Pack, before he came out from hiding. 

      "Hey there." She said aloud, taking Reven by surprise.

She knew he was following her immediately she had separated from her Father and the rest. At first, she had wanted to run back and scream that she was being stalked, but she didn't because she somehow figured out that she actually enjoyed his hidden company. She found herself smiling sheepishly as she walked further into the hills. Her nerves were boiling and her breathing was fast and unsteady. She took a deep breath as she saw him appear behind her and then she said. "Hey there." 

    It was clear that she had shocked him as she watched him jerk back with shock, but he soon retained his composure and blessed her with a charming smile. Her heart almost jumped out of her chest, she didn't know how to behave, she didn't know what to do, she just stood there staring at him.

       He chuckled. "I'm Fayne."

 Natalie memories of seeing Reven amongst the Skull pack kicked back in. Her heart beat slowed down and she seemed rather disappointed than annoyed. 

       "OK. So, Fayne why are you stalking me?"

He smiled. "I'm not stalking you, I'm just strolling like you are."

         "No, you are stalking me, and I don't like being stalked."

       "Yeah, I too."

        "What do you mean?"

         "I saw you in the morning peeping from your window."

         Natalie's heart stopped for several seconds. She wished the ground could open up and swallow her. Oh no he saw me, this can't be happening. No no no no.

Reven smiled as he watched her confidence wash up into shame. "But, it's okay. I'm not pressing any charges against you."

       She gave a weak smile. "I'm so sorry about that."

        "There's nothing to be sorry about. To be honest, I kinda liked it." He said partially laughing.

          "Now we are even, I guess."

      They stared at each other for a short while until Natalie said; "I have to leave now before my father begins to worry. It's nice meeting you, Fayne."

      She walked as fast as her leg could go but before she could get out of his sight, he called out;  "Before you go, could you please tell me your name?" 

         She smiled but didn't look back. "It's Natalie."

      "Lovely name."

 She felt really uncomfortable and wanted nothing more than to disappear from there. 

       "Bye, Fayne." She walked away even faster than before.

    "Taz, what exactly did you see?" Niue Yoda, one of the twelve history keepers said. They were by the side of the great temple facing the Wolf blood river. The sounds of the clashing waves and the river birds creating a pleasant music. "What I saw wasn't really clear? But I am sure of what I heard." "And what did you hear?" "I heard Yvonne screaming, shouting in desperation. She was screaming and weeping in the most horrible way I've heard." "Did she say anything, Taz?" "Ummm…nothing much, she was just shouting the word,No,over and over again." Niue looked up and thought for several seconds. "I think it's because she was murdered. She must be seeking Justice."

Please stop!' until she lost her voice and surrendered to crying. She fell to the ground and shut her eyes, giving up on hitting the strong cell gates She could hear the vicious sounds of horror beyond the cage, cries of pain and terror rang continuously in her ears and she blamed herself for every single bit of it. The terrible cries of pain gradually transformed to screaming voices and finally to faces pointing accusing fingers at her, shouting in desperation. The voices became louder and louder and she just couldn't bear it anymore. She attempted shutting her eyes tighter but rather it only made the faces more vivid and the voices even louder. Her fear gradually turned to anger and then to fury. Her breathing became fast, her forehead folded and her mouth formed a stern frown. In a few seconds, she

    The wind blew rustling leaves as Natalie Kane sat on the very peak of a hill, staring at the beautiful view. She loved coming to the hill because it reminded her of the beauty of nature and the essence of life. The hill was known as The Wall by the rest of the pack because it separated the Deadbolt pack from other packs, but she named the hill, Life because of the feeling it gave her. She always felt more alive whenever she was up there, all her nerves were more alert and she felt a supreme sense of comfort. As she sat at the peak of the hill, she sighted Arie, her best friend, running from afar and screaming her name. Natalie sighed in annoyance, she hated it when she was interrupted by someone whenever she was on Life(the hill). As Arie grew closer, Natalie began to notice the panic in Arie's voice. She stood up in alert, picked her arrow and ran down the hill. As she ran towards Arie, she wondered on what

Reven felt highly entertained by the Singers and Dancers who made the burial look like a harmonious ceremony. He laughed occasionally at the dancers weird moves and at the singers flat lines, completely unaware of the turning heads and murmurs people made towards him. It took him a while to notice that he was the only person laughing and he was the only person in blue tee-shirts and a white short instead of the regular all black attire. He was the only odd person in the gathering and he didn't seem to mind. Reven was still laughing when Natalie came in with her father, her brother and the rest of her pack.
