This was the time I had been waiting for. I couldn't hold it any longer. I had to go out with Hope and Faith. We needed a good time to clear the tension hovering over us. The fear of Suzana attacking us had gripped us so badly that sometimes the house would be quiet. Why? Because everybody was looking for a way we could destroy Suzana, but none was found. It had been frustrating, but we hadn't stopped looking. There was still hope. There had to be, or we would all die when Suzana decided to visit us.
I had made a treaty finally with Zack. This was something that Solomon had been trying to do when we had first arrived at Winekove. But I had ended it telling him that the werewolves were supposed to live with us, and there had to be no two ways about it. We were at the top of the food chain at that time, and I had assumed that we were the most powerful creatures on Earth. That had been before Si
I woke up to a high-pitched sound ringing in my ears. I stood up slowly and looked around my surroundings. Everybody was still out. Suzana had blasted us before she left. I turned around and looked for Faith. She was the first person on my mind. I was scared because it seemed like the blast was a distraction from Suzana to pick up Faith and escape. Well, that seemed genuine because I couldn't find Faith on the lawn.Terrified, I zoomed into Hope's body and tapped on it roughly. Hope's eyes opened slowly as they stared at me. She sat up slowly and held her head. She was probably feeling the migraine too. My heart was pounding fast. How was I going to tell her that Faith had been abducted again? And this time, it was under our very noses."What happened?" Hope asked, wincing in pain.
Solomon shook my hand firmly and smiled at me. I was surprised at this. We were back home, and I was about to pour myself a glass of alcohol. I would need it because we would match down to the woods until we could find Suzana. Today was the day. We had to defeat her, or there was no way we would stand a chance against her once again.I realized why Solomon was shaking me. It was because of the treaty I had made with the werewolves. This treaty had joined the two supernatural species in town together. It was a new beginning for the town. It was sad that Hope and I wouldn't be around to see each other for long. We didn't plan on telling people about it until the battle was over.Hope had gone to her mother's office to tell the police to announce a mandatory lockdown from six tonight till the following day. We didn't want any human bein
"Father!" Faith screamed.My eyes widened for some moments. I was breathing heavily. I looked at my chest, and I could see the hole in there. It was pathetic how I was dying. After everything that had happened, after everything I had been through, I wasn't going to get the happy ending. I didn't deserve it, to be honest. I was paying for my past sins. Karma had finally caught up with me.I looked up at the sky and noticed it was twilight. I smiled as I admired the beautiful view. It was probably the last thing I was going to see. Who would have known that it would have come to this? I had promised to keep everybody alive and had failed. Jocelyn was dying beside me."Father," Faith said, arriving in front of me.I lo
PROLOGUEWINEKOVE, 1020 AD. I could hear the sounds of my breath bounce off the walls of the cold and quiet cave. Mother had given me instructions not to leave until she had returned. She was gone for a long while, and all I could do to kill time was to listen to the sound of my breath on my knees.I looked around the cave to gather knowledge from my surroundings. It was so dark, and all I could see was a tree at the far end on my left and a large puddle of water a few feet before me; it looked more like an oasis.After what seemed like forever, I heard footsteps coming through the entrance. It was my mother with my twin brother, Solomon. She let him kneel beside me, and he gave a smug look. Only the spirits knew how I would love to slap that smile out of his face."Susana! I have brought them", I heard Mother shout. “Let us keep the end of our bargain."Susana was the chief priestess of our village and also a very powerful witch; I did not know why Mother would strike a bargain with
I half-filled two glasses with 7.62 while Solomon sat at the fireplace. I hadn't seen him in almost two centuries. Why would he want to see me now? I walked to the fireplace and handed him one glass. "The last time I saw you was in 1864,” I said as I took my seat. "What brings you here, Solomon?" He chuckled softly and sipped from his glass without removing his eyes from the crackling fire. "I missed my little brother," he said and produced that smug smile I hated. "That is a lie, and who made you the senior brother?" I asked, irritated. "But I am," he said, turning to face me. "How do the humans say it?" I asked rhetorically. " Yes, by five minutes." Solomon just chuckled and emptied his glass. "Why are you here, Solomon?" I asked again. "I was told you came back to Winekove," he confessed. " And came to make sure you did not get into any trouble." It was my time to chuckle. Get me into trouble? First, who told him I was back in town? There could be only one person, Alfred.
I sat with my hands folded across my chest in the cafeteria. The whole place was crowded five minutes after I got there. I came here a few seconds before the bell and took my seat. Solomon on the other hand was getting us lunch. He was at the counter talking to the lunch lady. I knew he was making her uncomfortable and heated with his appearance. Come on Alice, you're old enough to be his grandmother! I heard her scream in her mind. I chuckled hearing this. My eyes quickly caught Hope Wallace as she walked into the cafeteria with Kate McCullough. She walked timidly and sat at the same table she did yesterday. I tried penetrating her mind again but was blocked out. I felt rage build up in my stomach. I took a deep breath and calmed it down. I was brought back to my table by the slamming of our tray of food on the table; classic Solomon. "I have brought us lunch", he said, taking hi
Werewolves were here! I realized. The doorbell went and I zoomed downstairs immediately. Alfred opened the door and was quickly grabbed by a pair of hands. I sped there and everything slowed down. They were three boys, one was a man actually in his late forties while the other two were teenagers. I grabbed the one that wasn't holding Alfred and held his neck in front of them. "If anything happens to Alfred, I will rip his head off,” I threatened. The boy under my custody shivered in fear; I smiled with satisfaction. "Go ahead,” the boy who held Alfred by the neck too spat in between his teeth. I accepted gladly and began dislocating his throat before I was stopped by the elderly man. "Wait!" the man roared more as a command than a plea. "Wrong answer,”?I told him and was about to completely rip the boy's throat out until a pair of hands distorted my grip from his
It was dark now after I had carried out my plan. I lifted the dead body of the teenage girl and placed her on my shoulder. I zoomed back to where her car was parked and placed her in the passenger seat. I got into the driver's seat and drove the car into a tree. Then I got her body and placed it on the driver's seat making it look like she had an accident. When I was satisfied with the scenery, I sped back home.When I got home, Solomon wasn't lying where I kept him, meaning he had awoken or Alfred had shifted his body to another location. I poured myself a glass of alcohol in the kitchen and carried it to the living room. I sipped slowly from the glass while staring at the crackling fire. I felt a gush of wind behind me and I knew immediately it was Solomon.I turned and faced him, smiling. He was sitting on a sofa, his legs crossed. He had a serious face on him. I smirked and sipped from my glass. He didn't speak, he just watched me walk c
