Mrs. Willie broke down next to her husband and sobbed like a child. Every attempt made by Susan to calm them down proves impossible. They both cried noisily, making loud and convulsive gasps. Bonnie approached Susan. “What do we do now?” she whispered. “Don’t you think we get Lucas involved?” “Leave my son out of this,” Susan glared at Bonnie. One disadvantage of scrying is that the person might be dead or moved before help would arrive. If Lucas happens to get involved, he would use his enhanced sense of smell to sniff out Jane out, whether dead or alive. Mrs. Willie with a sob of despair threw herself on the flow. She rolled and rolled. Her heart groans in deep sorrow. The current incident pierced her soul deeply. Mr. Willie was shattered. He couldn’t do more but crawl to console his wife.ORLEANS HIGH SCHOOL The students rushed out of the class feeling excited hearing the dismissal bell except for Lucas.
Mr. and Mrs. Willie was not entirely disoriented. At least they now know their daughter is alive and could get to see her again if only Susan would accept the mysterious man’s deal. “What are you going to do?” Mr. Willie narrowed his gaze on Susan in expectation of a positive answer. “I don’t know,” Susan muttered. “The man called you a witch,” Mrs. Willie switched her gaze on Susan. “Are you a witch Mrs. White?” she asked expressing curiosity. “Now isn’t the time to talk about it. Your daughter’s life is in danger.” Susan hissed silently. There’s no hiding her identity. With a wave of her hand, she opened a blue glittering portal. “We need to leave before more of them come back.” Her magical display didn’t come as a surprise to Mr. and Mrs. Willie. Since her mysterious come back from the dead, they sensed she must have supernatural power. After all, their daughter has exposed them to supernatural happenings. Vampires
MYSTIC CAVE Lucas and Bonnie made a smooth landing in the mystic cave. “Please, don’t make me go against the will of your mother,” Bonnie pleaded. “You have walked into the ancestors’ world and you are my key to getting there now.” “I know, but don’t make me do this!” Bonnie cried out. After their war with the vampires and werewolves, they reclaimed their witches’ quarters. The mystic cave now serves as a pathway that leads to the ancestors’ world. Lucas isn’t worthy to step into the ancestors’ world because he’s a hybrid: half werewolf, half wizard. Walking into the ancestors’ world would get him killed on sight. Bonnie could plead his case if the ancestors want to harm him because of the wolf gene in him. “I need that mystical brimstone to save my friends,” Lucas said. Bonnie hissed loudly. “Do you want to save them because they’re your friends or do you want to save them because you have feelings fo
LUCAS’ APARTMENT A full-fisted knock interrupted the quiet night of Captain White. He was fast asleep on his couch. He had come home tired that he didn’t have the strength to drag his legs to his bed. His wife has gone out for the night to perform some spells with her witches concerning her son who has journeyed into the ancestors’ world. He wanted to dismiss the full-fisted knock he heard – although he wasn’t sure if it was a dream. When the full-fisted knock came again, there was no doubt now. “Anyone home?” A desperate cry was followed by another full-fisted knock on the wooden door. He jumped out from the couch. “Who’s there?” Hastily, Captain White slipped into his rubber flip-flops and started heading to the door. He held the metal doorknob, he felt an icy chill run through his fingers and seep into his body. He twisted the lock inside his palm and carefully opened the creaking door. It was
A lesson Principal Myles has learned in his dark hour was never to walk into the dark alley alone. He wasn’t privileged to get away from the hooded figure. Before he could get to the other end of the alley, the hooded figure moved toward him at a very terrifying speed and dug its claws into Principal Myles's heart. His eyes gleamed with horror as the night whispered its last on him forever.8HRS LATER “Dispatch unit on the way, Sergeant Shark! The backup is heading to 12 Avenue right away. What’s the situation on the ground? I repeat, what’s the situation on the ground?” The radio on Sergeant Shark’s shoulder kept making announcements. He was the first to arrive at the crime scene. A young lady taking his dog for a walk slumped into the maimed corpse of Principal Myles. When she opened her mouth to scream, she caught a glimpse of another corpse lying a few paces away. This made her scream more as she rushed out of the alley. She g
PRINCIPAL MYLES APARTMENT Carrying news of a deceased to his family is the hardest thing to do as a cop. Captain White emits a deep sigh. He squeezed his hand into a full fist and gently gave a full-fisted knock. It didn’t take time for the door to be answered. The door flung open. “Yes, how may I help you?” Principal Myles second daughter inquired. She opened the door halfway and waged it with her body. Captain White flashed his badge. “I’m Captain White with the NOPD,” he said. “It’s your mother's home?” “Yes,” she answered with hesitation in her voice. “Hope there’s no problem?” “You mind if I come in and speak with her?” Captain White wrapped up his badge and tossed it into his suit pocket. What he has for the family of Myles is not what he should discuss with Principal Myles’ daughter. It is indeed heavy news that she can’t even bear alone. “Who is it, Rosita?” Mrs. Myles yelled from inside. “It’s the p
MYSTIC CAVE Lucas made a rough landing next to his mother’s statue. He pulled himself back up to his feet like an enraged lion looking for a fight. When he looked around, he saw her mother and the rest of the witches staring at him with a surprised gazes. “Send me back!” Lucas yelled. This must be his mother’s doing. He glanced around with rage in his eyes. “I said, send me back!” he roared in his might. His eyes glowed blue. His fingers grew into claws as his fangs popped out. The witches drew back except for Lucas’ mother. They’re not ready to put up a fight with a wolf about to enter into a wolf rage. “Son, you need to calm down,” Susan whispered. Lucas flicked around casting his eyes on his mother. “Don’t tell me to calm down,” he gnawed. “She needs me and you just pulled me out leaving her there to die!” “I saw what happened, son,” Susan spoke in a soothing voice. “She was bitten and she won’t survive.”
Lucas is disoriented that he doesn’t know what to do. His chances of getting the mystical brimstone have been ruined by Ozenzo. His invasion of the ancestors’ world will cost the lives of Jane and Alicia just as it cost the life of Bonnie. His mind raced with a series of thoughts. A possible solution would be what he’s needed for his next action. “Son, what are you doing out here?” his father’s words pierced his ears sharply. He flicked around emitting a sigh of relief. “Dad,” he called out. He threw his arms across his father’s shoulder and squeezes him tightly in his arms. “I thought I will never see you again.” A sob escaped his lips. “Everything will be alright,” Captain White slowly pats his shoulder. He received a call from her wife to rush home. ‘Our son is home, I need you to rush home and keep your eyes on him,’ Susan said over the phone. “We should be inside,” Captain White said as he gently breaks the hug. “It’s not sa
