Chapter 38
Garfield West ~
Great! Its seven minutes until six O’clock. I better head down to Red’s to pick her up for her special night with a musical superstar.
“Off to school for the Halloween festivities?” Mr. West asked fixing up the bag of treats that he usually gives to the trick-or-treating youngsters every year.
“Yes. Mind telling me where you kept the keys to the cars? I can’t seem to find the one I intend to use.” I asked with an arched brow.
“They’re over there!” “But remember,….”
“No Scratches and Drive Safe! Yeah, I know. You don’t have to tell me that every single time I intend on taking a car out for a drive.” I asked walking to the casement where the keys hung under a hook.
“Yes, I do. The fact that I’m rich doesn’t mean you get to do whatever nonsense you like with things just because you know that I can
Chapter 39Garfield West ~“Nice! The lycan costume looks pretty great on you. If you were a lycan, you’ll sure make a handsome one.” Red said teasingly with a slight chuckle followed by a broad smile.“You think I’m handsome in this? You ought to look at yourself at a mirror. You’re gorgeous.” “All these for Ryan McFlame?” I asked sparing her a quick glance.“You keep saying that but I don’t think I did anything special besides putting on the witch costume and having a mild make-over.” “Hurry up, will you? The festivities start in about fifteen minutes or less.” Red added persuasively.“I take it that you’ve got your songs ready for Ryan?” I asked.“Just you wait and see Gar, they’re perfect for Halloween.” she replied. “Charlie and I have been working on it all day.”At the invitation of Charlie’s
Chapter 40Garfield West ~Red got out of the car and in what I felt were tears, she walked away making a few short runs along the way using her witch cap to hide it from prying eyes.“What did you just do?” a voice said to me in my head. “That wasn’t meant to happen. Not at this point, at least. You have to go after her before she exposes herself!” the voice kept on speaking in my head and for a moment there, I began to think myself insane.“Who the hell are you?” I looked into the driver’s mirror of the car and saw a different face that is naturally and scientifically meant to show up when I look at it.“I’m you!”The face looked identical to mine in some ways but the accent of the voice and the hairy and somewhat lycan-ic nature of the bearer assured me that someone else was somehow, talking inside my head and I’m certainly not going nuts.
Chapter 41Red Adamson ~“Thanks a lot, Garfield!” I said before leaning beside him and got my door unlocked using the central lock.I gave Gar a slap on his face and got out of the car in tears. That was the first time in forever that I called him ‘Garfield’. I always enjoyed calling him ‘Gar’ but that was then. When I thought that I could trust him with all that I had.Ever since I got down the stairs of my house and he had seen me, he has been acting very off towards me. It was as if he had become someone else on the spur of the moment. If I didn’t know any better, I would have concluded that he is head over heels in love with me.Barely thinking about how he betrayed our friendship by at first, telling me that I belonged to him and again, planting a kiss on my lips just like that, made me regret ever agreeing to let him take me to tonight’s festivities.All because of Charlie and Gar’
Chapter 42Red Adamson ~“Heellp!” I screamed louder when I felt my back against the wall.“Didn’t you hear her you fool? She said you should leave her alone!” Charlie said turning Angos’ shoulder over to himself and giving him a hard blow on his face. “I can’t imagine what can make an idiot like you having the intent of taking advantage of Red. That’s just wrong!” Charlie added giving him another blow from the opposite direction on his face and another in the gut.“Are you alright?” Charlie asked taking off his eye patch.“I am, now! Thanks to you!” I said crossing over Angos who was unconscious on the bathroom floor.“I just came back to the hallway to get the spare amp cord for my guitar when I heard your scream but God knows what would have happened to you if I hadn’t.” Charlie said giving Angos a brutal kick in the back.“E
Chapter 43Red Adamson ~Surprisingly, in coincidence out of the list of songs that Charlie had helped me with, the one that they happened to be tuning was ‘Unbreakable.’The lights were off so I am pretty sure that no one saw us enter except those that were at the fore-side of the stage making them to cheer loudly. The thought of going against my mom came into my mind but I waved it off. I held on to the microphone and at the perfect instant, I jumped in making the lights go on - courtesy of Ryan’s professional team.‘I’m sorry mom! I just have to do this!’ I said to myself in thought before I sang into the microphone.{MAKING USE OF SHANE FILAN’S – UNBREAKABLE THE NAME, TUNE, BEATS AND A BIT OF HIS LYRICS}• “He thinks it’s easy but he has no clue, of all the things she’s been going through. He’s the one she’s been waiting for, he’s the one. The only o
Chapter 44Ryan McFlame ~“What happened? The songs? The dance? Halloween?” Red managed to ask holding up her head in confusion.Clearly, she was confused.“None of that matters compared to what lies behind the veil.” I replied with folded arms. “How do you feel now?”“I feel fine. Did something happen? Why am I here?” Red asked looking all around.“You fainted. Ryan and I got talking after you blacked out and you wouldn’t believe the things he made me hear. I still can’t!”“Well, except me being an actual lycan, in my right senses, I wouldn’t but after what happened to me few seconds after we fell out, the sooner I believe it, the clearer things would be to me.” Gar said walking up to Red with the intent to sit her up.“Red,” Gar’s eyes met with Red’s and they looked at each other’s eyes in a manner that made
Chapter 45Ryan McFlame ~“Red, what did you do? How are we at your house? Weren’t we at school about a second ago?” Charlie asked while he held on to his head as he tried to phantom how he had just moved from being in Red’s ward in the school’s infirmary to her house in the matter of a few seconds.“Mom?!? Mom?!?” Red shouted totally ignoring Charlie’s questions getting up from the ground and walking in search of her mother. “She’s in the kitchen!” Red said with all confidence almost like she had casted a location spell for her mom in her mind and knew exactly where to find her.“Red, wait up!” “You mentioned wanting to help and I said that you couldn’t. I hope now you get the hint why?” Gar said to Charlie before rudely pushing him out of his way as he followed Red from behind.Or maybe she had bonded with her.“Lycan!!!” I shouted w
Chapter 46Garfield West ~“She’s going to die!” “Sofia cannot…” Ryan was barely done with his statement when a strange voice interrupted him.“Definitely not! The defeat of that heartless beast depends on Sofia taking the trybrid child and her alpha mate into the supernatural world and the chances of that going to happen when she’s dead are zero to infinity.” A voice speaking through Red said cutting Ryan short of words.“Gar, Ryan and Charlie, you guys would have to shift backwards and take cover for some few seconds!” the voice said again this time with more forcefulness in her tone. “I can save her and I intend to.”“Wait? What? Who’s speaking?” Charlie said turning towards the direction of the voice – Red.“Ryan? Do you have any idea what’s going on with Red? It is almost like someone else is spe
