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

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.”

RAILWAY FACILITY UP-TOWN It used to be a station where trains stop for the passengers to get into and get off the train. It’s no longer what it was before. Dumps are littered everywhere with gentle breeze tossing the littered papers away. It was once a busy place. But now lonely as a graveyard. The passengers would stand in a queue to collect their tickets in front of the ticket counter. It’s now a dead end. Before the election of Congressman Styles into congress, this train station used to work perfectly. People were looking for their trains and running toward their racks, and some were roaming here and there waiting for their trains, and a lot of people were there in the waiting hall waiting for the boarding announcement. There used to be lots of shops for tea and snacks, bookshops, and fruit shots but all of them have been forced out of business because the railway station building has fallen into disuse. This is where Nick pointed at the map. Where

Maureen breaks out into a peal of loud laughter in a silly way. She laughed repeatedly. “You can’t erase my memories because I’m always on spirits herb, vervain, and wolfbane.” His words shocked Lucas. He glanced at Ann with disbelief in his eyes. He moved closer to Maureen and asked without hesitation in his voice. “Why do you take all that.” This explains why he wasn’t able to catch up Maureen’s scent when she walked into the train station. On getting closer, he was able to hear her heartbeat. With spirit’s herb in her system, no witch can erase her memories unless she’s drained dry. The wolfbane she has taken will make it impossible for any werewolf to catch up with her scent. For the vervain, no vampire would force her to go against her will with mind compulsion and neither will any vampire attempt to taste her blood. These three herbs in her system are powerful substances to keep the witches, werewolves, and vampires away f

Luck didn’t run out on Jane and Alicia this time. The wolfbane in their system has worn out which gave room for Lucas to catch up with their scent. Bad news for alpha Jones, this isn’t a full moon. An added advantage for Lucas is to use his wizardry power against him. Jones was still in the air when Lucas blasted him through his pack with a wind blast. Lucas launched himself into the air and fired another wind blast. The blast came with a wind wave knocking down trees. “Stay behind me,” Jane whispered to Alicia. “And cover your ears.” She stretched her hand forward and started squeezing her fingers slowly into a fist. She manipulated the same Beta to float in the air. Ash, squeezes her fingers, and the Beta was drawn toward her. “You wanna see something new?” she whispered. Jane whispered into the ear of the Beta and released him to slump to the ground. The Beta yelled out like one in deep torment. He rolled over the gr
