Alone...

The boy had not even finished speaking when Sophia dashed back the way she had come, arriving at her mother’s side within minutes. The herbs that she had been gathering had been forgotten in her haste. Duncan hurried after her with them, followed by Toby, where they found Michael cradling Maria’s head in his lap and trying to soothe her, but there was nothing that could be done for her. Maria was coughing up blood now, and her eyes were barely focused. She had been unconscious for most of the night and was only just regaining consciousness, but it was clear that it wasn't going to be here for very long. They had obviously poisoned her with something and she was in severe pain. “Mom? Tell me what to do. Please, tell me what to do to ease your pain and heal you.” Sophia begged, kneeling beside her mom and wiping at the blood that oozed from the side of her mouth. “Please, leave us,” Maria said weakly, and the three other people, apart from Sophia, walked some distance away, out of ears

Wonder

For the next three days, they traveled almost without stopping. The only time they stopped was when they needed gas and to buy food, which they did not even bother to eat in the place where they bought it, but ate in the car while driving. Michael did most of the driving, while Sophia sat at the back for most of the ride with Duncan. She barely spoke a word, more content to sit in silence and stare out the window. If not for the fact that she was grieving, she would have been beside herself with excitement. This was the first time in all her eighteen-plus years that she was leaving the pack territory. Of course, she had heard about the outside world and had imagined and fantasized about what it would be like, but the reality was even more intriguing. Although for most of the time, they passed through desert and forests, the houses that they had come upon filled her with awe. “Is this your first time coming out of your pack’s territory?” Duncan asked her, watching her closely as he ha

Jealousy

Michael had been driving for hours, after taking over the wheel from Duncan. He had insisted on them not stopping, as he could not shake the sense of urgency that he had for them to keep moving. He had a very good guess that they were being followed, and until they shook off their pursuers and lost them, they would keep driving. He was not about to lead a bunch of blood-thirsty werewolves to where he lived and have them come to attack him in his home. He supposed that it was not a wise thing to head home just yet, but he needed the comfort of his bed, and the familiarity of his home, especially as he planned on selling it off and moving on soon. It was only when that sense of urgency left him that he parked the car and asked Duncan to come down too, so they could talk. “So what’s the plan?” He asked Duncan, when the latter came over, a look of polite inquiry on his face. “Plan?” “You’ve had days to come up with a plan of how we’re going to kill that cowardly bastard who calls himsel

Rested

To say Michael was surprised by this move was an understatement. In fact, he was so surprised that he remained frozen in place as Audrey kissed him, and it was only when she moaned and shifted position to better enjoy the kiss that he gasped. Audrey used this welcome opportunity to slip her moist tongue into his mouth and moaned sensually, holding his head in place with her hands. Michael became aware of a low growl coming from somewhere within the room, and only then did he break off from Audrey, wiping at his mouth. What was wrong with this girl, and why could she not just take no for an answer for chrissakes? The growling continued and was getting louder by the second, causing Michael to turn to face the direction from which it was coming. It was Sophia who was growling, and to his horror, he could see that her eyes had turned from their normal brown color to an alluring amber color … except that they would be anything but alluring to Audrey, who even now, was trying to look around

Decision making

By the time Sophia woke up, it was pitch dark in the room in which she slept. She had slept like the dead and had no idea of how much time had passed, but still, she had not awoken of her volition. Something had woken her up, so she lay still in the dark, all her senses on high alert. Then she heard it … the sound of low voices conversing. The voices were male and sounded like Duncan and Michael. Sophia got out of bed and padded downstairs, where she found them drinking beer and discussing. They paused whatever they were saying as she came in, and Michael looked at her, his gaze unreadable. “Sleep well?” Duncan asked. “Yes, I did. Thanks. Where’s Toby?” Sophia replied. “He’s upstairs still sleeping.” “Are you hungry? There’s some food in the kitchen if you are.” Michael told her, so she went into the kitchen and brought the food to the living room where they were to eat it. “Um, Sophia. We’ll be going out later today to the bank.” Duncan told her. “The bank? What for?” “Your lat

Questions

“I don’t understand why you’re trying to dissuade her from going with us,” Duncan told Michael angrily. “Oh, come on. She’s a fragile girl who just escaped from a hellhole and is quite vulnerable at this time. She doesn’t need to be charging off fighting unknown creatures just yet. You keep on claiming she has powers, but I saw the girl, and she was beside herself with happiness just because her eyes changed color and she grew claws. That’s the person whom you claim has the powers to face monsters and free your fiancée. Forgive me if I don’t believe that for a minute, but that is how it is. I’m not letting her walk straight to her death.” “What do you care about her, anyway? I’m her uncle, while you’re just some guy she happened to meet because he wants to avenge his family’s death. Do you think you have her interest at heart more than I do?” “Actually, I do. At least, I’m not the one rushing her off to do dangerous things not long after her mother died, when she clearly isn’t recov

Attack

Before nine that morning, Sophia left the house with Duncan to go to the bank, where they spent most of the day doing stuff. When they were done, Michael picked them up and they went to a restaurant where they got something to eat. Sophia soaked it all up in awe. Needless to say, she had never been to a restaurant before. Michael watched her in amusement the whole while, while Duncan seemed very troubled and distracted, not that anyone could blame him. “I think we should get some food for Toby. The food here is really delicious.” She said, and Michael nodded his approval. “Sure thing. I’ll ask them to pack some for him.” “So, when do we set out to find Duncan's fiancée? I think the earlier the better because we don’t know what the poor woman is going through.” “You’re right. We’ll leave tomorrow.” Michael said and saw the relief enter Duncan’s eyes. The man was really going through a lot. This was why Michael needed to get away from Sophia so that he never found himself in such an

All set

Sophia was awoken from her deep sleep by Michael around seven that night. She opened her eyes groggily to see that it was quite dark in her room now, whereas it had still been daylight when she went to sleep. It meant that she had slept for hours. There was no sign of Toby, who had slept with her, in the room. Her things, of which she did not have much, were already packed and were at the foot of the bed. Yawning widely, she sat up on the bed and saw the amusement in Michael’s eyes as he looked at her and spoke. “Come on, it’s high time we get going. You enjoy sleeping too much.” “Where’s Toby?” “He’s downstairs with Duncan. They’re already set, and so am I. It’s you whom we’re waiting for.” He told her before picking up her already packed bag and taking it out of the room with him. Sophia had already placed the cloth that she was going to wear on a chair by the bed, so she just had to get into it, and then she was ready to go too. She met the men waiting for her downstairs, but the

A glimpse of the past

Perhaps, there was an element of truth to what her mother and Duncan believed about her. After all, Jonas had had a good eighteen years to kill her, but he hadn’t done so. Was it that there was something about her that prevented him from killing her? Her so-called powers, maybe? In the next instant though, she was dismissing the thought. Jonas had meant to kill her that last night before Duncan and Michael came to rescue her. She knew it very well. Perhaps it was only the fear of his father and grandfather that had kept him in check while she was growing up. Michael must have felt bad about yelling at her and probably thought that her continued silence was because she was mad at him, which was partially true anyway because he spoke into the thick silence that was interrupted only by the purring of his vehicle. “Look, Sophia. I’m sorry that I yelled at you, okay? It’s just a touchy topic for me, and I don’t like to remember that day at all, but that was no reason to yell at you.” “It’

Bondage

Every day was the same, or if one was being totally truthful, each day was much worse than the previous one. There was no end to any of it, that is the whippings, stench, and hopelessness, but worst of all was the heartbreaking cries of despair that came from the mouths of the young children. Girls who were as young as thirteen, or even younger, by the looks of some of them, were packed in the same stuffy, dingy cell as older, worn, and tired women. In the cramped, filthy cell, giant rats roamed about freely, clearly not afraid of the humans who abode there, and for good reason too. After all, the women were totally helpless and were tied up so securely that they could only dream of escape, and not even fantasize about it. Therefore, the rats, and whatever other vermin, of which there were quite a few, moved about as they wished, feeding on whatever scraps of leftover food they could find, and when scraps of leftover foods were scarce, which was more often than not, these vermin bit
