Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 49

ARTHUR

There was nothing i hated more than being unable to help someone in their hour of need especially those that meant a lot to me. I felt pathetic, useless and angry at myself.

The time of Gwen’s trial was minutes away and there was nothing I could do to rescue her. I felt guilty for letting her take a blame that was supposed to be mine and thanks to me, her life was now in peril.

After I told Petra my secret, I left the house and walked over to the park and stay there staring at the sun, which after a while sank down and gave way for the moon and the darkness to take cover the sky.

I waited and watched as the Full moon appeared in the sky, it was fully bright and its rays was enough to power up any werewolf that had transformed tonight. While I was staring at the full moon, I heard footsteps heading towards my direction and as it got closer, I began to perceive some scent.

I quickly stood up as I perceived Petra’s scent but she wasn’t alone, the other one was vague to me. The footsteps were getting closer and my anxiety level was rising. In that moment, Petra appeared with Gwen’s little brother. Both of them were pooped and breathing hard ; probably due to the fact they ran all the way here.

Petra there he is….Arthur!!

Arthur Petra. Why are you here?

Jake As much as I hate to say this.. It’s sure good to see you.

Arthur You’re Gwen’s brother! What are you doing here?

Jake My sister needs you.

Petra You have to save your girlfriend Arthur. Her life will be toast if you don’t do something.

Arthur Gwen told me not to do anything. I’m sure he will be fine.

Jake FINE? listen to me you fossil. My sister’s life is minutes away from being taken. She’s in this mess because of you.

Arthur I understand and I would do anything to save her but the risk is too high. Gwen knows that. If I go and save her, it will prove that we were both in alliance and she might be killed.

Jake She will still die if you don’t do something.

Arthur No.. Gwen won’t die. Your family won’t turn their backs on her.

Jake SHUT UP!!! What makes you think that they haven’t? Dad hates her and he’s disown her. She’s on her own. Xavier can’t save her either.

If She’s goes on trial tonight, The council will sentence her to death. This I know. This isn’t about proving her innocence. They just want to make an example of her. You need to act now. If Gwen dies, I’ll expose you. I swear it. SAVE HER NOW!!!

Judging from the gleam threatening eyes of Gwen’s brother, I knew was serious about what he said.

I couldn’t believe that Gwen’s family did this to her. How could they abandoned like this without finding out the truth of the matter. There was denying what would happen at the trial and Gwen’s fate was eminent, the council will sentence her to death for sure.

Without saying any words to both Petra and Jake, I took off with sonic speed to the vampire embassy to rescue Gwen. Her life was more precious than my identity and even if Omhigan were to see what I look like, I don’t care. If he dares let him come and face me one on one, I’ll be sure to finish him this time around.

Suddenly as I was heading to the embassy, My instincts were screaming signs of danger and it was coming from the embassy. There was also a familiar foul smell and it was that of Omhigan. In that instant, I ran as fast as I could heading towards the embassy. It was no surprise that Omhigan was going after Gwen to kill her now that she has been linked to me but still I was surprised that he was this stupid enough to show himself publicly like this.

If things go right, Gwen might be set free and Omhigan’s identity will be exposed to all and the most important thing is that the curse will be finally broken.

GWEN

Geez, What a crowd!

The time for my trial had finally arrived and a lot of people came to see how it was all going to go down. I’ve seen lots of gathering at wild parties but this was too much.

First there were vampires obviously and then some witches / wizards (what the f–k are they doing here) and lastly are the humans which were least in number. I also forgot to mention the crowds that were outside the embassy calling out for my head, even before I was brought into the trial room, Those b–stards threw dirt at me calling awful names.

Here inside the trial room, There were a lot of familiar faces ; there was my family, Mom, dad and the rest, and then there were the other prominent vampire family members even the great Orlando was present in the room . My ex and nemesis, Adrian and Leona were present as well and speaking of Leona, the b–tch was busy smiling wickedly at me. I ignored her completely cause there was nothing she could do to rile me up.

My bestie, Emma and her boyfriend Gilgamesh were present as well, Their faces was a bit sad and they were both making gestures to me that everything was going to be okay but I know that’s not true. Nothing is going to be okay.

While I was locked up in the dungeon back at the mansion, I’ve taken time to think about what was going to happen here. The council would definitely sentence me to death, after all none of the vampires except for some few liked me at all. They saw me as a wild card and have been trying to get rid off me and now they have the opportunity to do so.

I really don’t want to die cause I love the life I’m leaving but the concept of death itself has never frightened me. Everyone will die when their times comes, that’s the natural order of this and if this is how I’m going to go out then so be it. Although, If there was a way to save the child growing in me, I would have. It’s such a bad timing to be pregnant at this moment. Pregnancy isn’t part of my agenda but that’s what happens if one has unprotected s-x which is what I’ve been doing with Arthur.

It’s a shame that I wouldn’t get to see him and let him know that I’m carrying his child and if anyone here were to know about my present condition , it will only worsen my case even more. So the best for me to do is shut my mouth.

After a while, The council appeared into the room and took their seats, Everyone kept quiet the moment the council members took their seat and once everywhere was quiet, the trial began.

Before the council showed up, I was already brought forth before the crowd and the council table in silver chains and placed in the Sacred circle.

The Sacred circle is a marked spot in the middle of the trial room, where criminal vampires stood and faced judgment but there’s more. High above the circle, there was a magical door shaped exactly like the Sacred circle and the saying goes that this magic door is a inter-dimensional portal that could take anyone to anywhere the council wished.

But the council only use this inter dimensional portal for punishment either to send an offender to a dark realm with no life to suffer and die in solitude till the end of time or the summon a ray of sunlight that would burn the offender to ashes.

So this was where I stood and I had no idea what kind of sentence the council would throw at me once this is all over.

As soon as the trial began, The head council Severin looked down on me from his high table before giving an awful speech about me.

Severin Greetings Everyone, It’s a pleasure to see everyone gathered here this evening to witness the end of one of our own, who has been deceiving us and spoiling our reputation.

Tonight we shall cast this traitorous offender and make an example to all those who wish to take on this traitorous road.

Gwen Romanov…

Gwen PRESENT!

Crowd (gasps and murmurs)

Severin SILENCE! You dare to interrupt me?

Gwen Yes? After all, I’m just an offender facing trial right? (Laughs)

Severin Let’s see if you can laugh only this is over…. I’m sure Everyone here know Gwen Romanov. Daughter of derrick Romanov.

Derrick She’s not my daughter. Not anymore.

Gwen No hard feelings. I’m glad that you’re not my father either. No more stupid rules to follow.

Derrick Insolence child.

Severin ENOUGH!! Gwen Romanov, you’ve been charged with the crimes of collaborating with a killer werewolf? Hoe do you plead? Guilty or not guilty?

Gwen Before I answer that question, I have something to say. My boyfriend is not a killer! The real murderer here is Omhigan.

Crowd (shocked) WHAT?

Vampire 1 Boyfriend?

Vampire 2 She’s in love with a werewolf?

Wizard Omhigan?

Severin What are you talking about?

Gwen I’m sure you all know who Omhigan is. The genocidal goblin that our ancestors fought. He’s alive and well, and he’s the reason behind all this problems.

Witch 1 Liar! Omhigan is dead. There’s no way he could have survived all this time.. It’s been millions of years ago.

Leona Don’t you all see? She’s trying to fool us and confuse us.

Gwen B–tch shut the f–k up!… Omhigan is alive.. I don’t know how but he is. I’ve seen him. He’s planning to finish what he started.

Severin This is nonsense! You’re wasting time. Do you really think we’d believe you?

Gwen I have proof! That big hairy boyfriend of mine is a hybrid. A creation mixed with vampire and werewolf blood. Throughout our lives we’ve been fooled that our ancestors were enemies but it’s not true. Omhigan is behind all this. He cursed us all to hate one another and tear each other apart. I’m not saying this because I’m trying to confuse you all. My fate is sealed and I’m ready for whatever comes next but you have to understand, everyone in this world is in danger. Omhigan is still alive.

Despite what I said nobody believed me, they kept calling me a liar and called out for my immediate execution.

Severin This nonsense has gone to far.. SILENCE!!!

Crowd (mute)

Severin Gwen Romanov! For so long, you’ve been nothing but trouble. Every where you go, you bring troubles to others and you don’t seem to care about the consequences. I’ve heard enough of your lies and you shall be punished according to the law.

You have been charged for collaborating a werewolf and you have also been charged for breaking one of the most sacred vampire laws. So I ask you one more time, Guilty or not guilty?

I kept quiet for a while and rubbed my stomach thinking about the bay in me. It’s obvious I’m going to die here in front of everyone and I’ll be damned if I’m going to plead my for life in front of these losers. I can’t be angry with them cause they’re all under the influence of Omhigan’s curse. It’s better to die here than to live in shame and ridicule. After making my decision, I looked up to the head council and gave him my answer.

Gwen You want an answer? Well here’s my answer… GUILTY! I’m guilty and you know what, I don’t regret anything I’ve done. I take my chances with the consequences that comes next.

Severin smiled and stood up looking at the crowd, he wasted no time in reading out my sentence loud and clear.

Severin Gwen Romanov for your crimes against the general public and the treason you’ve committed, you have been found guilty. You have been sentenced into the eternal realm of darkness where you will spend the rest of your life alone until the end of time. OPEN THE PORTAL.

In that moment, the whole room shook tremendously as if we’ve been hit by a bomb. Before long, loud cries of panic could be heard outside the embassy as people ran for their lives, Shortly after that, there was a mighty roar that set fear into the heart of everyone, including me. Before we could all react, a big hideous bird monster smashed it’s way into the trial room and began to wreck havoc ; It mauled through the crowd crushing them to death one by one. In that moment, I saw Olivia standing in fright as the moment made his way towards her and without a moments pulse, I jumped in and rescued her pushing her out of harm’s way.

Before the monster could grab hold of me, I did the best I could to fight it off but the silver chains made me weak to inflict any pain on the big brute. Before I could realize it, I was smacked hard by the monster, the impact sent me flying across the room right back to the Sacred circle.

Meanwhile, Xavier and some males in the trial room began to fight off the monster, they were about to subdue it when surprised them by blasting fire from it’s mouth. The fire burned some and killed some of the men but Xavier managed to move at out harm’s way, He kept on fighting the monster but he was soon over powered by the monster due to the intense flame thrown at him.

After taking care of Xavier and the others, The monster made it’s way towards me in great speed baring out it’s claws. Suddenly, Someone came to my rescue and punched the monster so hard that it smashed through the wall of the embassy and fell outside. I looked up and realized that my savior was Arthur.
