Must Read: Laraba (Werewolves,Vampires, Witches)

“He is not dead! Ryan is still alive.” The witch said grimly, then watched disappointment brewed on her sister’s face. It wasn’t her fault in whatsoever. She had performed her necessary duty carefully so she shouldn’t carry the blame for the flop smirching her efforts.

“What did you just say?” Luciana asked, her face carrying cloggy crinkles. Alzarius’ confession was the crappiest thing her ear had consumed at the moment.
“He didn’t die as expected. Ryan is still breathing fine. Someone got inside the cabin to give him blood.”
“What!” Luciana yelled.

The news was indeed too bitter to hear. As a matter of fact that was the second caustic information to be greeting her eardrum since her arrival from hunting Ryan. The Larabas soldiers who went on manhunt to capture the stranger that just plodded into the town had inveighed to her on how the Lamiae had hijacked the stranger from them and planted her on escape route. That at first was disheartening. But she still found consolation at the thought of knowing Ryan would be dead anytime soon. But with the recent revelation coming from Alzarius that Ryan Jericho had also escaped the death’s brail, she knew her downfall was approaching.
“I’m sorry about that sister” Alzarius pleaded.

“Don’t give me that Shtt!” Luciana barked back, with heavy crinkles forming on her forehead.
“You need to calm down Lucy. It wasn’t my fault. I tried all I could but it seems the fault is from your side.” she said, slightly peeved up.
“I don’t care!” Luciana riposted angrily.
Alzarius was taking aback by Luciana’s outburst. She watched the crinkles on her sister’s face accrue gradually taking the form of a white thick fur. Her sister was transforming—that has been her queer way of reacting to any emotional discharge. She was inclined to lose control of herself and that always birthed her impromptu transformation.
On seeing the scenario, she quickly moved to her and patted her hairy-face. “Trust me little sister, we’ll find another solution. You need to calm down right now and rest your nerves.” she cooed into her ear.

The wolf was panting as she tried to gain control of her transformation. “Are you sure?” she asked.
Alzarius nodded. “I’m sure Lucy, there is always going to be a way for us.”
“Ok so how is that going to be possible? Because I’m sure we already we lost them.” She said, the fur appearing on her face had waned down bringing her face back to normalcy
“Of course it is. We have indeed lost them, but trust me, we’ll surely get them back.”

Alzarius said. Her face gesturing certitude enough to simmer her sister’s troubled mind.

She could perceive something wasn’t right.

Her clairvoyance could make her sense Ryan and Regina had found each other. Also, she could sense Regina was responsible for breaking the spell she casted on Ryan and that alone had proven to her Regina was indeed the chosen one to bear the powerful hybrid predicted to destroy the Larabas. It was now so apparent to her that Ryan life had been clawed to Regina’s.
“I think they have both found each other,” she paused to confirm the quizzical look on Luciana’s face. “Ryan and Regina”
“What!”
“Yes Lucy. I can perceive that also.” She said, and pulled a straight face. “You see, I think your men made a fatal mistake by allowing the stranger slip off their hands.”
“What do you mean?” the alpha asked.
Alzarius shrugged. “If the stranger hadn’t escaped, Ryan would have been dead. Their life had been clawed to each other—as long as Regina is still alive, Ryan Jericho will also continue to live.”

Luciana heaved a breath. She was getting really frustrated. She really needed to take control of the situation in other to retain her position as the alpha. The Larabas council had been deliberating they couldn’t tolerate her incapability of providing them adequate protection, so they might be planning to oust her from the position as the alpha and put another person.
“But never worry sister. There is a way I can lure them back to Laraba here. Or if not the two, one of them will surely come.” The witch said.
“How are you going to do that?” Her face primed in confusion.
Alzarius smirked. “Do you believe in the power of magic?”
She nodded. “Yes I do.”
“Fine Lucy, just put your trust in me.” She said, trying to encourage her sister. “I think we still have the pawn and we’ve got to make use of it to our advantage.”
“What are you talking about?” Luciana asked, still very confused. But she could feel the assurance exuding out from Alzarius appearance. She noticed she wasn’t deterred as she ought to and she was sure that was helping in lifting her troubled self.
“The soldiers still have the boy with them, right?” Alzarius asked.
“Yes.”
“That’s good news then.” she nodded with a smile. “Then maybe is high time we used what we have to get what we don’t have.”
Luciana raised an eye brow. Little tittle of hope was dragging back on her face. “How are we going to do that?” She asked.

“Just get me the boy, then I will cast a spell with his blood. The spell will undoubtedly lure Regina back to us and trust me, she wouldn’t come alone.”
“Are you sure this will work out?” Happiness seemed to staple on her mind. She was determined if at any possibility her sister’s method should work out well, she wouldn’t dare miss use it this time around.
“It will little sister. All you have to do now is to summon your soldiers for the upcoming maraud. Make sure they are girded and prepared. They shouldn’t allow any slip that could make them loose our targets this time around.” She admonished strongly while Luciana nodded.

Few minutes later a young a haggard looking lad was brought to Luciana and Alzarius. The chap was in bondage. A strong leash was placed round his neck while a chain was connected to a fetter that held tightly to his ankles. The lad had a look that beckoned to anyone who cared to know that he was been taken as a hostage.

Luciana passed a contemn look at him from head to toe searching for nothing in particular or perhaps the reason why she so much detested the little lad in front of him. She felt like wolfing out and snagging to pieces every bones and gristles residing in his body. But the thought of using him to lure back his sister kept her at bay.
“What’s your name you rotten pig?” Luciana slammed at him.
“Damien.” His voice came slurrily.
Her face grew scowls. “So stupid name for a twerp” She spat. Then Alzarius moved closer to the Damien and said;
“Are you sure your name is Damien?”
No, I’m Osama Bin Laden. He wanted to say but control the urge. It took him all the 22 chromosomes in his body to muffle a befitting reply.
“Yes I am.” He finally replied.
“Good” Alzarius breathed. “You mind collecting something of epic importance from your body?”

Damien didn’t reply. Not even a slight gesture.
“I will take your silence as a go-ahead” Alzarius said as she delved out a small trench- knife from her. Damien flinched at the sight of the knife.
“Calm down boy, your death is not today at least, perhaps tomorrow.” Alzarius said as she pierced the knife into his shoulder till blood started gushing out. “I’m sure you are related with that lady you both came with into this town the other night right?” She asked now collecting the blood into a tub.
Damien groaned in pain avoiding the question.
“You need not to answer, I already carried out my research and it was positive” She said after it appeared to her that Damien’s mouth had been whelmed with pain. “I’m sorry it pained you but I must say you should be prepared for greater pain that precedes your death tomorrow.” She said.

She later finished collecting the blood and carried the tub away to use the blood inside to cast the spell to control regna back to Laraba town while Damien was forced back into a coop.

Luciana smiled gratuitously as she watched the process. She was happy she was giving the second chance to nab Ryan and the stranger destined to ruin their posterity. The second and only chance she wasn’t ready to let slip of her hand. She had decided to increase the army that will partake in the battle. The defence measure would be well taking care of as well as the onslaught. About fifty adepts and high skilled archers with their bows and arrows were insidiously on standby. Shields, arrows, grenade and swords would be provided for each of their skilful wielder. While the ones who are fledged enough to wolf out would also come out for the battle. Luciana was sure that not after all her epical preparation would Ryan and the stranger slip off her hands again if they ever stepped their feet on Laraba.

“Because you like me?” Regina asked befuddled. As matter of fact she couldn’t deny she hadn’t started to feel attracted to the hunk who never stopped applauding his exquisiteness with his smile and coyly look also.
“Yes I do.” Ryan replied.
“Ok.” She nodded, suppressing a chortle. Her anger had dissipated perhaps that was because she couldn’t get around to get angry with Ryan.
“Please stay here with me. You are save from the dangers loitering outside there.” Ryan pleaded repressing the whim to compel her. He had resolved never to use compulsion to get anything from her.
“I will stay.” She finally said half whisperingly. “But it’s not because I want to be save from anything out there.”
Fresh wrinkles assembled on Ryan’s face. As he stared sheepishly at Regina.
“What do you mean?” He asked.
“I’m staying because I like you as well and I will love to stay by your side.”
Ryan was bedazzled by what Regina said. So the love was still there. It hadn’t actually strayed away like he envisaged. The love was still intact.
“Oh really?” He introduced that smiles that brandish his perfect dentition “Our feelings is mutual I guess”
She nodded. “Yes I guess so.” Regina said shyly. “Call me Regina”
Ryan almost said she already told him her before but later decided against it. Telling her that could exhume all what he chose to bury from her.
“Alright Regina.” Ryan moved closer.

Holding his breath. “Actually I don’t like you again Regina. I don’t want even want to like you not anymore.” He spilled softly, the statement caused an eruptive silence to pervade the atmosphere.
Regina face furrowed in disbelief and in total embarrassment.
“But I love you!” He confessed. “I want to love you.”
The words had not fully plopped out from his mouth before Regina hauled herself at him and the two embedded in a tongue wallowing kisses. Their two mouths was lurked in the bondage of the ecstasy and that had increasingly nudged the passion burning inside of them. But unfortunately! The two was not yet satiated when Regina broke free from the kiss.

“Regina what’s wrong?” Ryan said amidst trying to sip in enough breaths their snog had seized.
“It’s Damien! My brother! ..oh! Stupid me ? I-ca-ca-ca-n-t find my brother an -nnd I am here,..” Regina babbled on. Her face holding disquietedness. “Ryan I can’t find my brother. I got to go look for him.” She lamented struggling to break free from Ryan’s hold. She had suddenly felt urge towards her brother.
Ryan cupped her face on his hands. “Look at me plss. Look at me. What happened to your brother and where is he?”
“He was kidnapped by em- animals.. No monsters .I don’t know. All I know is I need to look for him.” She said, her struggling intensified, but held Ryan held on to her tightly.

“Where was he kidnapped?” He asked, clenching his teeth in anger.
“Laraba town.” Regina mumbled.

Ryan could see how desperate Regina was to leave for Laraba town. She was obviously acting way passed being normal and that had made him believe something eerie was about to happening to her. So he had no choice that to do what he promised to abstain from. He had to compel her.
“Regina, you will stay here while I go to get your brother for you ok? And always remember I love you?” He compelled her
“I will stay here while you go to get my brother for me. And I will always remember you love me.” Regina reiterated and immediately, the disquietedness in her stepped down.

Ryan nodded. “Alright Regina. I’m coming back to love you like you are the only woman in the world.” He muttered as he prepared to go to Laraba town to rescue Damien.
