“You will let us go,” Harold said, gritting his teeth against each other in utmost anger as he spoke.
“Or what?” Sarah asked. She was more confident than she had been minutes ago and that made Harold doubt himself. What had happened while he attended to professor Ericson? The bite his wolf had given her around her neck was gone and her long white gown wasn't stained with her blood. It was whiter than snow.
A long pause followed and when Trisha realised that Harold was defeated verbally, she stepped forward.
She didn't know where the new aura of confidence that swirled around her since she got to the cavern had come from but she was grateful for its presence.
“Or we will be forced to take you down,” Trisha said.
She locked eyes with Sarah. After some seconds, her gaze shifted to Dr. Peyton Giovanni who also had a smile on his face. Trisha had some things to tell him.
“As a parent,” s
Derek ran towards Dr. Giovanni before any harm was done to Penelope with his hand stretched forward. His wand was gripped in his hand and as he took steps towards them, his lips trembled as he recalled spells in his head.When he got close to Dr. Giovanni who was now releasing punches on Penelope who had her arm upwards to protect her face and the upper part of her body from the attack, he casted as spell that caused Dr. Giovanni to go flying not too far from where Trisha was.He knelt beside her.“All is well, you're safe,” he whispered to her as he patted her hair the way one will to a little child. “Are you okay?” he asked as he snuggled her closer to himself.Slowly, Penelope let her arms down, revealing her face which was lavishly ornamented with her own blood.Previously, blood trickled only from the side of her face down to her neck but after the physical attack from Dr. Giovanni, a long brui
“What have you done?” Sarah screamed. Her voice echoed all through the room and it pierced the eardrums of Harold, Trisha, Wilkes—who could now get on his feet having healed fast because of his vampire nature, Penelope who had stopped bleeding a little for the same reason as Wilkes' and Derek.Derek looked at her. “We just hit a jackpot.”“And now, its five on one. I'll advice you to give up now and retreat,” Trisha added.“Never!” she screamed.When the spear had hit Dr. Giovanni, out of shock, she had changed from her wolf form to her human one.She looked down on his Dr. Giovanni's body. Yes, he is was dead. Then she looked up at Harold with a very visible touch of animosity in her eyes.“The five of you can't take on me,” she said before changing to her wolf form.When she did change, she howled loudly and all the students but Harold who was in his wolf fo
“Something must kill a man, they say,” Sarah said. She snickered a little then after some seconds, let out a loud laughter that caused Harold's heart to clasp tight as it beat fast. The laughs continued for about ten seconds non-stop, reverberating off the wall. “This time,” she continued, “it's mistakes that'll see the end of her.” She was referring to Trisha.She watched as Harold and Penelope ran to where Trisha was. Derek remained with Wilkes but had his gaze on Trisha.She could easily knock them all out. They were inexperienced. That was their greatest disadvantage.From where she was standing comfortably under the light that bath her from above, she folded her arms into one another gracefully the way a queen about to address her subject will, and watched as Harold knelt beside Trisha.“Are you okay?” Harold asked as he cupped the sides of her face in h
Activities in Golden Lake University carried on like nothing was wrong. In fact, in the actual sense, nothing was wrong. How could whatever was going on hundreds of metres beneath the school surface affect the students-and the teachers?Of course there had been questions to the whereabouts of the Vice Chancellor, Dr. Peyton Giovanni who hadn't been in his office for some days but that was what they had remained: questions.Of all the Golden Lake students and teachers and non-teaching staffs like Mr. Heathers and the Librarian, Mrs. Perry, there was only a student that could sense it deep in her that things weren't right and she had her reasons to think that.None of the students had seen the contestants and the fourth day was already coming to an end meaning none was back from the contest and now, Dr. Giovanni had been gone for two days and he definitely hadn't gone in search of the contestants because he went 'mi
"What is this?" she whispered to herself as her heart began to beat faster and harder than before.From the door, she heard the shuffling of footsteps and she turned to look at the door.The footsteps grew louder. Definitely, someone was passing through. After some seconds, it abated meaning that the person had passed.It must have been a student, she thought as she looked back at the mysterious hole before her.All things being normal, she would have called on the school's authority to come check out what it was but she didn't trust them. She didn't know why but she just didn't.She looked around the room, in search for a torch or something that could direct her. She planned on going down there although it seemed like a foolish thing to do.The first thing her eyes landed on were on the wall clock. She had spent two extra minutes making a total of seven.She looked
Without much stress, Sarah's wolf dodged all of Harold's attacks.She moved back seconds before one of his paws clawed her face and shifted to her left before he sank his canines into her skin. It was almost like she knew of every move he was going to make even before he thought of making them. She was definitely steps ahead of him. That was the upper hand experience gave to her.She kept dodging all his attacks, making him waste his energy while she preserved hers. It was common sense but at that moment, Harold seemed to lack that.If Trisha was awake and seeing all that was happening, she'd have somehow, found a way to turn the tables. Unfortunately, she was just healing from the attack of Sarah thanks to Derek who was with Wilkes, making sure no harm came to him.When Harold's wolf was becoming to grow weary, the white wolf of Sarah held its right ear in her jaw and dragged it hard.Harold's wolf
As Derek landed on the ground, he rolled off the wolf, not minding the sharp edges of the unleveled earth that dug into his skin, before he looked at the third person who had appeared out of nowhere.He looked at her face for a few seconds longer not minding Sarah's wolf who was getting up on its paws. Whoever it was, he hoped the person was on their side. If not, they were doomed.She had an oblong face, a pale white skin, short curly hair that made her look a little like a male and a scowl that had been on her face since she'd been knocked off her feet (literally) - to her surprise. She was looking at him, too, wondering what on earth he was doing down there."Brie?" Derek whispered barely able to contain his excitement. He knew her because she was a friend of his sister. To be more exact, an acquaintance. They had been good friends but not anymore.She knew he was one of the three contestants chosen but things be
Unlike the others who were present, Brie was still fresh, filled with energy and although baffled at having been tossed into a battle, enthusiastic.She dodged all of Sarah's attacks, planted a few of hours which she missed, too. All the same, she was very much in tune with her wolf. They spoke, exchanged ideas, calculated and reasoned together before any step was taken. And they did that fast enough to avoid wastage of time.One time, Brie had just dodged a massive blow from Sarah's jaw. She knew what she wanted to do next. She had all of it planned out but she wasn't fast enough.After the punch was dodged, Sarah's wolf used the momentum to her advantage. She spun around, wiped her tail on Brie's face - which was one of the greatest forms of disrespect, before planting her hind legs which were much stronger than the fore ones into her face.As the paws connected with her face, Brie was pushed backwards.
