Modi found it difficult to sleep all night. He felt he was surrounded by liars and traitors. May woke up to find that he was lying upwards and facing the ceiling. She put her arms around him and he smiled at her, gazing into her eyes.
“You’re up?”
“Is everything alright? You look like you’ve up long before me.” She replied.
“I didn’t want to bother you. I was thinking.” His eyes tearing up as he gazed at May lovingly.
She was worried. “What’s going on, Modi? You’re tearing up.” She reached for a tissue on the table across him to wipe his face but he stopped her.
He took her hands in his and kissed them softly, his eyes closed. She was worried. She had never seen him this sad.
“You know I love you?” he was caressing her soft face.
“Yes, and I love you too.” She held his hand on her cheek and kissed it. “You’re scaring me.&r
Raul and his friends have living comfortable lives in the world of humans. It is almost as if they had completely forgotten the real purpose of embarking on this trip in the first place. They all go partying at night with Claire; they go to the movies, they go shopping and Raul even got a job with a nearby restaurant as a waiter while Kal and Virgil just did nothing.A few weeks earlier…Raul and Virgil had gone to sleep that night and Claire returned home with Kal at about 4 am. They were excited and crept in to avoid waking up the others. They slept in Claire’s room.Early that morning, Raul was the first to wake up. He was heading down to the kitchen when he noticed Claire’s door was slightly open. He quietly approached the room and took a peek to find Kal and Claire cuddled half-naked in bed and fast asleep. He shook his head in disappointment and went to the kitchen for a glass of juice.Virgil woke up and
That night while the other partied, Raul found his way, using his sense of smell and following Virgil’s directions to locate the hideout of the werewolves in the city.He had to ditch Claire’s friend to be there. He had her in his bed and had drugged her drink so she would fall into a deep sleep to buy him enough time to find them. She was fast asleep when he crept out and transformed to allow him the speed he needed to beat time.He had planned it earlier with Virgil who had given him the pills to use in making her fall into a deep sleep. It worked, and since he was not at the club with the rest which she agreed to, it was easy to actualize his plans.He was able to find the group and in his werewolf form, he approached their circle slowly. They watched him, ready for a fight. The alpha of the group came forward and realizing the werewolf was not there for a fight, asked in a calm voice.“Who are you; and why are you here?”
Raul did want to have a family of his own someday but for the circumstances at hand and his lust for power, he decided to turn a blind eye to it to focus on other plans.“You seem far away.” Tom suddenly spoke up after his wife was out of sight to break the silence.Raul blinked gazing at him. Tom got on his feet and approached him. He tapped him on the shoulder and continued. “There’s something I’d like you to see.”Raul followed him into their garage. It had an underground basement that hid lots of secrets. Raul was astonished. He saw old pictures of Tom in office in another country which looked like it was centuries ago. Then he saw another picture of him in the military also in another country and it looked like it was not so long ago.He also saw pictures of his different families and then he picked up an album with pictures of his current family.“I wanted you to know that there’s power in build
Ella paused, gazing at him. She liked Raul and hoped that he would like her too. She was amazed to see that he was rejecting her so she devised a strategy. She scoffed and got on her feet approaching him slowly.“I’m here to help you,” she said.“Help me?” Raul chuckled. “What are you talking about? I don’t need your help for anything.”“Hmm… You’re rude as you’re cute.” She commented, trying to ignore his gestures, and continued. “I heard about your story and I know all about you and your lover, Hayley…”At this, he was astonished. He turned to face her and frowned. “What do you know about her?”“I know that she’s disappeared from the mainlands and that you two once had a thing.”“Wait… what?” Raul cut in rudely.“Do you deny it; that she was your lover?” she continued.
Hayley sat on a rock in a close cave where the priest had made his new lair. They had settled there to watch the activities of the human slaves building the project for the priest. Every day Hayley would watch them and wonder what the priest was up to. She wondered how he even got this many slaves in the first place and what the hell where are they building?The priest arrived at his lair to take a rest. He placed his magic staff beside him and Hayley watched carefully. He poured himself a glass of water and cleared his throat. He gazed at Hayley who was glaring at him in irritation.“What’s on your mind, child?”“You’re a monster.”“I saved your life, child. You better watch your tongue. Perhaps I should have left you back there to die.” The priest replied with a harsh tone in his voice.Hayley paused. She did not want to get him worked up for the plan she was nursing to be effective. She tried to ch
He got on his feet and allowed the paramedics to do their job.“Can you hear me?” they asked Hayley as they tried to stabilize her.“What is your name?” one of them asked her.“A-Hayley…” she replied weakly.“She’s weak.” They murmured to one another.The guy was watching and observing them. His friends gathered him, worried.“Dude, you seem worried about her.” one of them said.“You barely even know her.” another added.He eyed them briskly and looked away from them to concentrate on the paramedics.One of them suddenly approached them holding a pen and a piece of paper.“So which one of you is going to be answering my questions?” he asked calmly.“I will.” The guy replied quickly.“Ok. Please come with me, sir.” He was carried away from his friends. “I’m sorry but we&
Hayley was filled with pity for him. She could feel the sad emotions in his voice. She was silent, listening as he narrates his story to her.“We were married after our first child but then we chose different parts in life. I could not proceed to college because I could not allow my wife to handle the kids alone so I allowed her to go through college to pursue her dreams after our second daughter was born. she became a huge Writer and suddenly decided that I was no good for her. So, she opted for a divorce and moved to Africa where she got a huge paying job with a European company and that’s the way it’s been ever since.”“Oh wow! That’s sad.”“Nope, Hayley; it’s a huge relief for me coz I get to live my life now since all my sacrifice meant nothing to her.” he was getting upset.“No… it was for a good cause; for your kids. They will never forget their father.” Hayley tri
Hayley spared no effort the next day, she hurriedly went to the mayor’s place as soon as it was the time. It seemed like the mayor was in turn anxious to meet with her for a second time. She hugged Hayley as she came in. Hayley was surprised. She hugged her back a little nervous, wondering what was going on.The mayor was in a long exquisite robe, her hair was a little rough and she looked like she was just out of the office. They strolled to the garden as they exchanged pleasantries and sat at the already set table in the garden to have drinks.“I know you’re wondering why I called you here.” She started softly.Hayley was silent. She gazed at her calmly, trying to study her expressions.The mayor seemed uneasy. She was fidgeting as she spoke. “There’s something I want to tell you. it might seem a bit odd but um…” she licked her lips and smiled. “How’s Lucas?”At this, Hayley&rsquo
