KILLIANLucio and I entered the the visiting lounge to walt for the security guards.One after the other, they slowly entered the room. They all stood in a horizontal line and waited for what I have to say. I took my time to carefully look at their faces.“What are your names?” I asked.“Elias,” the first guard in line replied. And one after the other, they all gave their names.“Chad,”“Havellry,”“Timothy,”“Josh,”“Ethan,”“Patt,”“Dan,”“Rolland,”“And out of the nine of you, which is the chief of security in charge of the dungeon?” I asked.“I sir,” Elias replied.“Elias tell me something, who were the guards on night duty as of yesterday?” I asked curiously.“Their names are Timothy and Patt, sir? He replied.“Timothy and Patt, move to a seperate line please,” I said and they obeyed. “The rest of you can leave.”The guards I had dismissed left the room. “Now, I want you both to be thoroughly honest answering these questions,” I asked, fixing my eyes on both men.“Which of you h
LAURA“What?” I exclaimed. “But how could he have escaped?”“No one just breaks out of the palace dungeon. Someone must have helped him,” Killian said furiously.Killian quickly grabbed his night robe that was on his floor and put it on and we all left the room to go check for ourselves.We got to the cell where Rhett had been and the security guard was telling the truth, he had escaped. But where would he go and why would he go? Why would he escape from the dungeon the day he was to be released, I thought.Killian ordered the security guard to get his entire team and report to the visiting lounge for a meeting. Killian then left the dungeon to go get Lucio. He returned after a while with Lucio and they both went into the visiting lounge.I followed the man without their notice and I stood behind the door, eavesdropping on their conversation.Killian ordered the guards that were not present that night to leave the room and they all went out. I heard them opening the door and I quick
LAURAWe both laughed at Rhett while he left the room. He and the hunter had left the room into the little room which the hunter had appeared from. “Are you all right, Killian?” I asked.“Does my face look red to you? Or did I sustain a big injury that you’re suddenly asking me if I as ok?” He wore rolled his eyes.“Hey look, tell me something. Does that brain of yours ever think of anything good?” I asked angrily.He replied hastenly and angrily. “Yes, it does. My brain thinks of good things far better than yours think of.”“Yes, that’s very true. Like women, sex, alcohol …what’s next? Yes, and Lucio,” I burst into laughter while Killian frowned and struggled with the rope.“Ahh, that was a good one. You’ve really outdone yourself Laura,” I shook my head, I couldn’t pat my back because I was dangling from a rope.Killian drew the chain cuffing both of us together towards his direction. The pull really hurt my hand.“What are you doing?” I cried.“I was just trying to get us free, t
KILLIAN Rhett sat in a corner backing us, I called into Rhett asking him why he left and other vital questions that need answers to. But Laura said this wasn’t the time for questioning and she would be the one to talk to Rhett, I agreed and we walked towards Rhett, but unknowingly walking into a trap.We took two steps forward and stepped right on the open rope, it took us off guard, it took us by our legs and into the air. Before I had known what was going on, I was already upside down, dangling like a piece of chicken leg in an abattoir’s kitchen.Rhett saw what had happened and quickly stood and he finally turned around, smiling like he had won a lottery.“You snake!” I yelled. “I knew a man like you could never be trusted. I’m your brother, goddammit!!”“Oh, so now you’re my brother? When you were shouting and getting into arguments and fights with me, weren’t I your brother then? Hun? Or when you lied to the guards that I pushed you before locking me up in the dungeon, weren’t I
KILLIAN He laughed at how foolish Rhett was for trusting a man like him. He said Rhett was foolish and naive.And I yelled out of annoyance and said humans have always been traitors, both to their kind and to other creatures as well.He yelled back at me saying humans and werewolves are not so different, he then reminded me how my own cousin had planned carefully to kill me and I was silent.“You don’t have the slightest idea of what your cousin had planned for you, you fool! Yet, you talk such rubbish about humans being cruel,” he said angrily.“My brother couldn’t do anything to hurt me, he’s just bluffing,” I said trying to instigate him into telling me their plans.“You know nothing and I feel sad for you. If you hadn’t noticed, your cousin loves your wife very much and he plans to kill you,” he chuckled.“No never, my brother can do such vial things to me, he couldn’t even dream of doing such a thing,” I insisted.“Look here, your brother came to me yesterday to make a deal. He
KILLIAN “Hey stop there at once!” The hunter shouted.I turned around to transform and to finally kill the hunter but Laura held me back. “Killian, don’t,” she said, shaking her head. “Don’t Killian, all his weapons are made of silver. Fighting back would only put our lives in danger. I know physically, we are both stronger than he is. But it’s time to be practical. The only thing we can do now is to run. So let’s run.”She held my hands and we both ran out of the building and into the street. The cool breeze of the night whispered into our ears as we ran through the street in search of refuge. The car that I had parked in the same spot where Laura and I now stood was missing. We heard noises coming from afar, so we hid beside a building.“Where is the car? Weren’t, wasn't this the spot where you parked it?” She asked while catching her breath.“Yes it was,” I replied angrily. “Rhett must’ve taken it, so when we might have escaped from where they had kept us, we wouldn’t have a rid
LAURAKillian and the werewolf hunter cursed at each other and argued about whose kind was more cruel and deceitful. I just dangled there, watching both of them argue aimlessly. Killian instigated the hunter into telling him about their plans. But I couldn't see the use of their plan when it was clear that we were going to be killed. With so much free time I just dangled there, doing nothing, and I didn’t want anything to do with the mens argument.“Laura, where are the books I kept on my —” Ricky paused, staring at me while I cried helplessly. “What’s wrong, Laura? Is it something I said? If I have done anything wrong, please punish me, but do tell me.”"You didn’t do anything, Ricky,” I sobbed heavily trying to hold back my tears. “When I remember I didn’t grow up with my mum by my side, it saddens my heart greatly. My uncle raised me after my mum died. He verbally abused me always, reminding me constantly that I was at fault for my mum's death, because she gave birth to me and di
LAURA“I only spared your husband’s life because my clients need a werewolf’s heart,” the hunter bent towards me and whispered. “The next time you both would try anything funny with me, I won’t hesitate to kill you and him.”I grunted and spat on his face. He wiped my spit off his face and with the same hand, he slapped me across the face.“Arghh!” I cried out. The hunter grunted and retreated into the room he had been in.“Wake up, Killian!!” I screamed. Why am I bothering myself? He’s clearly unconscious, I got slapped across the face for his sake. I’ll return my slap by scolding him tomorrow morning, I thought.The rays of the sun reflecting through the window shone on me. I woke up and gasped for air, as if I had just woken up from a nightmare.I was still chained up on the old wooden chair, and Killian was still unconscious.“How could someone sleep so much?” I said disgustedly. “Wake up, Killian!”“Ugh, I just had a terrible nightmare that —Oh,” he looked at his chained hands i
