Chapter 42
Red Adamson ~
“Heellp!” I screamed louder when I felt my back against the wall.
“Didn’t you hear her you fool? She said you should leave her alone!” Charlie said turning Angos’ shoulder over to himself and giving him a hard blow on his face. “I can’t imagine what can make an idiot like you having the intent of taking advantage of Red. That’s just wrong!” Charlie added giving him another blow from the opposite direction on his face and another in the gut.
“Are you alright?” Charlie asked taking off his eye patch.
“I am, now! Thanks to you!” I said crossing over Angos who was unconscious on the bathroom floor.
“I just came back to the hallway to get the spare amp cord for my guitar when I heard your scream but God knows what would have happened to you if I hadn’t.” Charlie said giving Angos a brutal kick in the back.
“E
Chapter 43Red Adamson ~Surprisingly, in coincidence out of the list of songs that Charlie had helped me with, the one that they happened to be tuning was ‘Unbreakable.’The lights were off so I am pretty sure that no one saw us enter except those that were at the fore-side of the stage making them to cheer loudly. The thought of going against my mom came into my mind but I waved it off. I held on to the microphone and at the perfect instant, I jumped in making the lights go on - courtesy of Ryan’s professional team.‘I’m sorry mom! I just have to do this!’ I said to myself in thought before I sang into the microphone.{MAKING USE OF SHANE FILAN’S – UNBREAKABLE THE NAME, TUNE, BEATS AND A BIT OF HIS LYRICS}• “He thinks it’s easy but he has no clue, of all the things she’s been going through. He’s the one she’s been waiting for, he’s the one. The only o
Chapter 44Ryan McFlame ~“What happened? The songs? The dance? Halloween?” Red managed to ask holding up her head in confusion.Clearly, she was confused.“None of that matters compared to what lies behind the veil.” I replied with folded arms. “How do you feel now?”“I feel fine. Did something happen? Why am I here?” Red asked looking all around.“You fainted. Ryan and I got talking after you blacked out and you wouldn’t believe the things he made me hear. I still can’t!”“Well, except me being an actual lycan, in my right senses, I wouldn’t but after what happened to me few seconds after we fell out, the sooner I believe it, the clearer things would be to me.” Gar said walking up to Red with the intent to sit her up.“Red,” Gar’s eyes met with Red’s and they looked at each other’s eyes in a manner that made
Chapter 45Ryan McFlame ~“Red, what did you do? How are we at your house? Weren’t we at school about a second ago?” Charlie asked while he held on to his head as he tried to phantom how he had just moved from being in Red’s ward in the school’s infirmary to her house in the matter of a few seconds.“Mom?!? Mom?!?” Red shouted totally ignoring Charlie’s questions getting up from the ground and walking in search of her mother. “She’s in the kitchen!” Red said with all confidence almost like she had casted a location spell for her mom in her mind and knew exactly where to find her.“Red, wait up!” “You mentioned wanting to help and I said that you couldn’t. I hope now you get the hint why?” Gar said to Charlie before rudely pushing him out of his way as he followed Red from behind.Or maybe she had bonded with her.“Lycan!!!” I shouted w
Chapter 46Garfield West ~“She’s going to die!” “Sofia cannot…” Ryan was barely done with his statement when a strange voice interrupted him.“Definitely not! The defeat of that heartless beast depends on Sofia taking the trybrid child and her alpha mate into the supernatural world and the chances of that going to happen when she’s dead are zero to infinity.” A voice speaking through Red said cutting Ryan short of words.“Gar, Ryan and Charlie, you guys would have to shift backwards and take cover for some few seconds!” the voice said again this time with more forcefulness in her tone. “I can save her and I intend to.”“Wait? What? Who’s speaking?” Charlie said turning towards the direction of the voice – Red.“Ryan? Do you have any idea what’s going on with Red? It is almost like someone else is spe
Chapter 47Garfield West ~“About four of them to be precise. They obviously came for…. They came for you.” Mrs. Flora said turning to meet the confused eyes of Red.“Mom, what do you mean by ‘they came for me’ and why does he keep calling you that?” Red asked.It was far from obvious that she was confused. I would be if I was in her shoes right now. Even after Ryan told me about the supernatural world and some others about ‘Elena’, everything still messed up in my head so I’m sure that Red is in a similar shoe if not worse.“For a very long time now, I have been hiding so much from you. I don’t know how things managed to get like this but they did and I’m so sorry for everything happening to you now. I should’ve hidden you better.” “Hearing me say this must be very confusing for you but I did what I had to just so I could save your life and so many oth
Chapter 48Garfield West ~“Ryan, you didn’t really think that Cassius would send just four lycans after the trybrid child, did you? Or that he would send us here with just lycan abilities when he has numerous ones to share? Did you?” the voice said exposing his first of claws.Lycans!Probably, they could have been here the entire time. Somehow, the lycans were able to camouflage themselves from the sight and hearing of any of us. The first that appeared out of nowhere gave Ryan a blow in the gut and then, the rest of his friends came out from hiding.Some walked down the stairs, some coming out of the different corridors and rooms. They were all over the place and when they had themselves in the room with us, they stood behind the first who appears to be their leader.My first thought was to protect Red but another thought came suggesting that I go for Charlie and I ended up going with that. I got to where Red, her mom an
Chapter 49Red Adamson ~“Lycans, bring me her heart!” it happened so fast and before I could count to two, the lycans came charging at me with their fearsome appearances.Fear crept into me at the sight of the lycans fixing their target at me. Why do you want my heart? I felt like asking Cassius. I needed no one to tell me that his intentions were pure evil but what do I have to do with any of this? He seemed very patient though.None of us here including myself could control any command of magic so having me as he desired shouldn’t be so hard. He was taking advantage of the fact that we were powerless to enjoy the moment. If only I could control the power everyone keeps saying is within me but I can’t. Not yet at least.Gar stood in front of me, Charlie and my mom with nothing but a pocket knife to defend us. I admired his courage but deep down, I know that I won’t be able to forgive myself is something dreadful happ
Chapter 50Red Adamson ~“Charlie, I know those lycans and calling the cops for protection or whatever you think they can offer wouldn’t be enough but neither would arguing work.”“If Cassius actually possessed the mind of their leader, that means that nowhere is safe for us. We just need to create a long distance between us and them and the more we keep this whole thing to ourselves, the better because human and lycans were never created to meet….”“I’ve had enough of this!” I yelled so loud that my voice echoed back to me. “Gar, pull the car over! Mom, I’m not going to run anymore until I know exactly what is after me and why. Everything that has happened this night ever since Gar placed his lips on mine have been nothing but confusing and I want answers. Why?”“You have to tell us everything! You have to tell me everything!” I said with all urgency inscribed on
