CHAPTER 41FLASHBACK ( 19 years ago)Claire’s POVI was drinking coffee while watching television in our living room when my husband came home.“ We got a new mission. It is from Dad, he said that this mission is very important.” He said then took a sit beside me.“How important is it? Why do you look so serious? Haha “ I said jokingly, but he remained serious.“This will cost our lives if something goes wrong. Are you still in?” He answered with a worried face.“You know that I always put my life on the line in every mission right? Don’t worry, we will plan first before we move.” I said with a smile to assure him.“But, what will we get if we do this right and we succeed in this mission?” I added because the harder the mission the better the prize.“ My father will make me the new leader of our mafia clan, This is his last test before he passes the position to me.”Wow. That’s a piece of great news. I know that Kennedy will be happy if he is chosen as their heir. From what I know
CLAIRE'S POV(Continuation of Flashback)One week passed since the day that Kennedy and I received the mission.We are now here at the entrance of a creepy-looking place.'Hallow City'That is the word written on the vintage-looking arc. There were some people who looked like they were guarding the entrance so we decided to go outside of our car."Good day. What brought you here in our place?" One man said and came close to us." Good afternoon sir, we are here to have some vacation. I heard that this place has a good environment and beautiful scenery." I answered and gave them a huge smile." Oh okay, we need to look for your identification card first before you can enter for security purposes." He replied."Sure no problem," I said and gave them our IDs."It's ok now ma'am, you can stay only for one week. That's the maximum time outsiders can stay here. I hope you understand." He explained and gave back our I'ds."Thank you and I understand have a good day," I answered.One week is
(Continuation of the Flashback)Claire's POV"What do you think you are doing?!" The man in the middle of the pack shouted.He looked like someone who had high authority in this place. He looked different from the others."We are only doing this because of an order," Kennedy answered then he put down the unconscious man and I felt that he was getting ready for a battle.I don't think that is a good idea, because there are almost 20 of them and I don't think they are an easy opponent. I was getting nervous because of the way they looked at us. They looked like hungry wolves looking at their food." You chose the wrong place to do that. No one can touch my pack " The man said angrily."You must be the alpha of this pack," Kennedy said."Yes, I think you did your research before coming here. There are only a few humans who know our existence." The man called Alpha answered.I wonder what an Alpha is.He is getting ready to attack us his appearance is starting to change to a werewolf."Ru
CLAIRE'S POVI can't move but I can still see what is in front of me.The old lady came back and she is now in front of me.I couldn't understand what she was saying because it looked like she was using a different language. The man who was called Alpha is beside her but the old lady looks like she is talking to herself. She is also doing some weird hand movements.'Στην εντολή μου θα είσαι ελεύθερος. Μετά το άσμα μου μπορείτε να κινηθείτε. Μόνο ένα στιγμιότυπο το ξόρκι θα αφαιρεθεί. Με τη δύναμη της σελήνης θα' γίνει-Translation-(In my command you will be free.After my chant, you can move.Just a snap and the spell will be removed.By the power of the moon it will be done.)After she finished talking.I instantly felt like I was freed from something that was holding me and preventing me from moving.What the h*ll happened?"What did you do to us?!" Kennedy shouted and tried to grab the old lady but I held him and stopped him from doing so. The old lady looked so old and she look
KENNEDY'S POV- CONTINUATION OF FLASHBACK-I don't know what the h*ck is wrong with this guy. Why would we need to talk one on one? We are enemies and I don't think that it will be resolved by talking."Who sent you here and why did you try to take one of my people?" He asked when he stopped walking.We are now here in the middle of the woods. I can't help myself from worrying about Claire I hope that she is fine." I can't give you the details about that. Are you going to kill me here?" I asked him directly to the point.I think my chance of winning against him is low because I don't have any weapons with me right now. They confiscated it earlier.This is bad."No, I will spare you for now. Be thankful that Marco, the man you tried to kidnap is safe so I will forgive you." He answered. But why? Who is in his right mind who will forgive someone who is not even apologizing? Is he nuts?"Why?" I can't help myself but to ask."And why do we need to come here to talk? Is there anything m
KENNEDY 'S POVI don't have any other choice but to agree with what he said. Our safe return depends on it. I don't exactly believe all the words that he said but there is still some chance that what he was saying is true.During my one week of research, I came across a book where all of the details about the witches are documented. There was a part of the book where I saw the information about the witch who can see the future.They can also make prophecies like what this man told me."OK, let's do that. We will stay here for a month." I answered after a long time of thinking."That's good. I guess we can go back now. I know that you are worried about your other half." He said then chuckled like he was teasing me."Tsk." I just walked and left him to go back where we left Claire.FAST-FORWARDWe are now here inside a medium size house. The old lady said that we can stay here for a month.I explained everything to Claire but she looked like she was thinking something serious. Claire
(PRESENT TIME)SOMEWHERE IN THE CAPITAL SOMEONE'S POV"Madam, I just confirmed that the leaders of the Shaun clan, Kennedy and his wife Claire are not in the City." My secretary reported.I guess the information that I got is right. They never leave the city together. This is the first time.But who sent those tips? What would they get for helping me? I guess that is not important for now. I should do what I need to do first."Do you know how long they will be gone and do you know where they are?" I asked him before I took a sip of my glass of wine." I am still gathering information, madam. All I know is they will be gone for like a week or more."He answered."A week is enough to execute my plan," I said with a smirk plastered on my face.This is the perfect time to turn the tables.
(Continuation of Flashback)Claire's POVDays pass by slowly while me and Kennedy are here. We learned a lot of unbelievable things while we were here. It's our 20th day of staying in Hallow City. I decided to go to the forest to pick up some herbs for my herbal research. The Old Lady is helping me to come up with different medicines made from plants that can only grow in this area.This place really amazed me. There are a lot of extraordinary things here. The people here are not that bad too I think."Ouch!" I scream. I was searching for a plant when I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my abdomen.This is so painful, not like any other pain that I felt before." What happened Claire?." The old lady asked me when she saw that I fell on the ground and I was crawling because of the pain."My stomach hurts so much," I answered her. My face is full of sweat because of the pain.A few minutes more the pain made me dizzy then everything went black.-------------------------------------------
