"It seems a fight is going on inside" Alpha Jones hesitated outside Baldwin's facility."A fight?" David seemed confused."That shouldn't bother us. We need to get the virus as soon as possible" Sophie urged them to move inside.They met Alpha Nolan battling it out with some unknown people who were also giving him a hard time."Do we join? Or are we going to wait for them to play it out?" David asked."We don't know why they are fighting. We first have to secure the plague and Mark. That's our priority" Alpha Jones advised."I think I have eyes on him, Mark" David walked away slowly from the others. He was heading to an end with much determination.He pushed the wall and a door opened revealing Mark shaking visibly."You don't need to hide" David patted him on the shoulder. "Just calm down and come with us" he persuaded him."Just let me be. You already know I'm just the hand. Your fight is with Alpha Nolan" Mark panicked.David held him and pulled him to Alpha Jones."We need the pla
"We are not told to kill you. That's the only reason why you are still breathing" Grad growled at Alpha Nolan's face and threw him down.Alpha Nolan had been badly beaten. He still couldn't understand how Grad and his weak men could have turned him to a pulp like this."Grab the bag and let us get out of here" Grad shouted at his men."You... are ... not going with that" Alpha Nolan muttered weakly. He crawled on the ground to Grad and held his leg."Do you want me to kill you?" Grad kicked his head and he rolled away."You will have to, before you can take the plague" Alpha Nolan struggled to get back on his feet. He kept falling back."Let's move it" Grad urged his guys.Alpha Nolan felt relieved as some warm hand held him and pulled him up."Mark?" he moaned softly. "They are taking the plague away" he shook his head."No, they won't take it away" Mark breathed heavily. He left Alpha Nolan and rushed to the man carrying the bag.He pulled it away from him. He took to his heels afte
The hallway was not only weirdly long. It was too dark for an afternoon.Alpha Nolan kept walking carefully. The silence was deafening. His footsteps echoed back at him on every steps.He was sure Baldwin wouldn't have brought him here to kill him. He knew he just wanted to manipulate him."Stop right there!" Baldwin voice said sharply.Alpha Nolan stopped immediately. "Turn around!" he commanded again.Alpha Nolan turned as he was directed. A burning torch lit up. He could see Baldwin accompanied with his men. They were more than a dozen.Alpha Nolan smirked. He believed Baldwin must have had a bad plan prepared for him."I don't think you brought me here to kill me" Alpha Nolan laughed loudly."Do not panic. Nobody is dying" Baldwin assured him."Are you sure?" Alpha Nolan looked round at Baldwin's men. He checked them out. They were all armed. "This is a hallway full of armed men. You might think you give them command. But the real thing they are obeying is the money. They will f
"What do you think Alpha Nolan's planning?" David asked curiously. "We just have to remain on high alert" Alpha Jones slammed the arm of his throne and the sound echoed through the whole throne room.It had been a while they had been expecting Alpha Nolan to attack after he had secured the plague. But he had not shown up and everything seemed strangely calm."He must have been planning something differently. We have to think outside the box so we don't receive the greatest shock of our life" the Mage was actually supporting David's idea."The plague is his best shot. That is what I will do if I were him" Alpha Jones insisted. "Don't let us run out of patience. So that when he comes, he will meet us ready. We should not divert from our outlined plan" he blurted out."The plague is what we know him to be possessing. He might have another thing we know nothing about" David posed."Like I said, there can be never be anything more threatening than the plague. We stick to plan" Alpha Jones
Sophie was having a hard time to get sleep. She was busy thinking about what Tonia said earlier. That was going to be a lot to take in for her. "You are not sleeping?" Alpha Jones' voice startled her.She looked up, Alpha Jones was already sitting up beside her. His voice was sleepy. She didn't know he would wake up that fast."I'm trying to get it but it... Don't worry about me" she waved her hand once and pretended to be okay."What's bothering you?" Alpha Jones insisted."Tonia said I will have to kill her to steal her power" Sophie let out."That's what's bothering you?" Alpha Jones chuckled. "Are you feeling guilty? That you want to kill a friend just to save others?" he asked rather than consoling that Sophie expected."We are not really friends. We are at each other's necks most of the time but having to kill her now, it's unbearable" Sophie shook her head.She would have loved the whole situation if there was another way to go about this. The problem was she didn't know much
The Mage pulled the lever in the last cell in the basement. He had always thought there was something beneath the place.All the times he had pulled it. He always found a wall. He would go back after that.But now that Tonia had confirmed that there were soldiers buried in there. He had a motivation to go in.The wall would need to be moved by some spells or symbols. Whatever that would be, he believed there would be clue to follow.The door opened and as always, there was the wall."How do you move?" he muttered and rubbed his hand over the wall.Luckily, there were inscriptions on the wall. But they were not understandable."Am I supposed to just read this or they are instructions to be followed?" he kept asking himself to ponder.He traced the signs and symbols with his finger.The signs glowed some light and he felt perched all over his body."What? Do you want blood?" he couldn't believe it, but that was the likeliest way out of this.He rubbed his finger on the wall until he sta
Some days later. Tonia came into the throne room again. She looked dejected and frightened."They are coming. They are on their way here" she spilled. "You haven't told us anything to do. You just keep telling us how close they are. Do you just want us to keep panicking? " David asked uninterestedly."What to do? There's is nothing else to do than what I've already told you. She kills me and takes my power for you to win" she pointed to Sophie. "Does that sound like a plan, to win a war?" David snorted to fault her. "Anyway, it might be a plan. Maybe it is just yours while we are the one being played" she scoffed."That's ridiculous. How am I to benefit after I have been killed?" Tonia shook her head. She seemed bitter by the comment."Benefits, yes. You won't have any benefit helping the people that kept you incarcerated. So why would you just decide to help us?" Alpha Jones added to her woes."You all have trust issues. Even putting my life at stake is not enough to convince you I
Confusion. In a degree that she had never experienced before. Sophie didn't know whose side she should be.Tonia or David.She crept back to the gate of Tonia's cell."I have tried my best. I don't know what else to do" Tonia said immediately seeing her."I trust you, though I don't want to kill you. But I don't think there's any other possible way to go about it" Sophie said remorsefully."You don't need to think of other ways. There's no other way. The way that I am proposing will only work if properly and intelligently executed. There's no room for mistake" Tonia seemed to be speaking from the bottom of her heart."I will keep finding another way. If it doesn't really exist like you said. I will consider this option that time" Sophie let out a heavy sigh."No. It does not work that way. This plan needs to be conceived and repeated in your mind till you will be perfect with it" Tonia shook her head. "You have to be determined, there should be no hesitation or everything will fall ap
