Sophie was confused in her mind. Especially about her newly discovered power."And what are they, goddess?" she asked sarcastically."You will feel relieved. All these burden gathering on your mind. You will get rid of them before they fester" she said with a sober face."Thank you, ma'am. You are right. I need friends but you are none of them" she flashed her eyebrows. She walked backward, away from her."Don't make the same mistake I made" Tonia warned."You made a choice not a mistake. I will also make a choice" Sophie rectified."When I first got my powers. I felt like I am above everyone. That's how it started. Then I started making decisions, bad ones. Upping my game, I set goals that are harder than the one I already achieved. Having a friend that I respect back then would have saved a lot of lives" she shook her head remorsefully."Tonia! Get this right. You and I are nothing alike. I was raised in a place where all I was taught was cruelty, but I came out to be kind. You were

David came into the throne room to meet Alpha Jones. He was looking around to check if they had company."Is there any problem?" Alpha Jones was getting worked up."Nothing, just want to confirm if we are alone" he sighed."We are, brother" Alpha Jones assured him. "What do you want to talk about?" he was eager to know."About dead people coming back to life. Maria" he moaned."Did you notice anything?" Alpha Jones was already clueless on the issue. He didn't know what to think or what to decide."No. But I heard some stories. From some guards. And I think it will be useful to us" David revealed."Some guards. Guards drink, and like kids they love bedtime stories" Alpha Jones chuckled."This is not bedtime stories, Alpha Jones. The guard is a living witness" David murmured."Okay. He can come in. I'm ready to hear his story" Alpha Jones bellowed. He was waiting for the 'storyteller' to come in."He is not here. He only told me the story after I promised not to reveal his identity. But

Some strange men with partly decayed body started walking towards them from all direction.They were moving slowly.Maria turned around looking at them."I know them. I know them" she panted. "I have seen all the faces before" she breathed heavily."Who are they?" Alpha Jones asked hastily."I used to see them getting killed by Alpha Nolan in my sleep" she let out."That's them" the Mage coughed out. "The ones killed to keep you alive" he deduced.They kept approaching them slowly."Yes, I understand they were killed because of you. So why are they coming at us now?" Tonia was freaking out."I think they want the Mage, he is supposed to be one of them" Maria scoffed. "We have to take him to safety" she declared. She started thinking hard to find a way to discard them.The decayed men hesitated. They shook their head at once and started running towards them."We have no choice, than to fight them" Alpha Jones made a stance in wait for them."Can someone tell me how we are going to kill

"Are you ready to speak the truth?" Alpha Jones asked once again.Lance, as he called himself, only grinned. He shook the chair he was sitting on. It seemed he wasn't feeling threatened as Alpha Jones wanted him to feel."Why are you here?!" he asked him again for the last time before he would employ a more severe method."I am Lance, one of your forefathers" Lance replied with sarcasm."Were you raised from the dead by Alpha Nolan?" Alpha Jones asked."Can you just acknowledge the fact that I'm your ancestor and untie me?" he raised up his tied hands."Not until I know what you are here to do" Alpha Jones refused. "A lot of demons have been coming lately for the Stone of Kitana. Are you one of them?" he continued his questioning."You first asked me if I was raised from the dead, now you call me a demon?" Lance chuckled. "Anyway like I have been saying, I came to protect the stone of Kitana" he said loudly."To protect or steal and deliver it to Alpha Nolan?" Alpha Jones was getting

"This is very dangerous. You can get trapped in there. The mind of a dead man is dead" the Mage warned strongly.Sophie took a deep breath. She thought the Mage would be easily convinced to help her but he had proved otherwise.She held him and pulled him to a corner out of the hallway."If he really help us by hiding the stone, we will be free from all this demon coming all the time. I'm ready to take the risk" Sophie insisted."You really don't understand. If you get trapped, it simply means you are dead" the Mage retorted."I understand very much. But it is either we give him the stone or we start seeing more dead people. According to you, Alyssa is a badass. I'm very sure there are more badasses like her on the other side. How will you feel if we have ten people like Alyssa roaming around?" Sophie nodded as she had known what the Mage would say in response."Did Alpha Jones know about this?" the Mage inhaled sharply. It seemed he only wanted to discourage Sophie by that."I don't
