The Vagabond

8PM A cyclist cycling through the lonely streets of Casera's Estate, beautiful mangroves lined perfectly well through the visible house. Sounds coming through the house. A woman in her 60s came in from her own apartment, and walked towards the house where this loud music is coming from as Home by Bebe Rexha, Machine Gun Kelly, and X Ambassadors played through the decks of this house owner... Home A place where I can go To take this off my shoulders Someone take me home Someone take me I found no cure for the loneliness I found no cure for the sickness Nothing here feels like home Crowded streets, but I'm all alone I found no cure for the loneliness I found no cure for the sickness Nothing here feels like home Crowded streets, but I'm all alone Someone take me Hoooome, ho-o-o-o-me Take me home Hoooome, hooome (take me home) Someone take me Hoooome, ho-o-o-o-me (someone, someone) The woman watched her steps as she came close to the door of her neighbour. She knocked on the door, no one answered, she knocked repeatedly, but still no answer. Then she saw a doorbell. "Ooh. goddamn my memory" she cursed. Seconds later, the door was slightly opened, and a young boy looked through to check the fun killer. "Hi Madam Cynthia" "Hello Ethan" "Hope you're enjoying your sleep" Madam Cynthia looked at him with utterly disgust... "You think I'll be able to sleep with all this sounds booming from your room?" "I'm sorry Madam Cynthia, I'll adjust it" "Please do" "Okay, have a lovely night rest Madam Cynthia!" "I only will if you turn that thing off completely!" She said and went inside her apartment. Ethan, a young boy, he was a handsome looking child who became a very charming youth—tall, but looked like one with little strength. He swiped his curly black hair backwards, and walked towards where his house appliances were. He bent down to take the remote to the TV hanging on the wall, as he took the remote to stand straight back up, the phone that was on the table with the remote popped its screen up as it vibrates. Ethan looked at the phone that was buzzing, he switched the remote from his left to right, as he picked up his phone, pointed the remote to the TV as he lowered the volume of the song. He picked the call, and placed the phone on his ear. "As usual right?" His voice seem cold unlike when he was talking to Madam Cynthia. "You would greet first..." A female voice spoke through the speaker of the phone. "Where am I going this time?" Ethan asked. "You are coming to my place" "Wait. why?" "Because your parents thinks it is time to come over here" "The last time I checked, you told me to be faraway from you" 11 years ago... In was raining heavily... "Go! Go!! Go away Ethan! Run away from me!" A lady drenched in the rain shouted enough for young Ethan to hear as a man dragged Ethan away. "No! Aunty Ivy! No-no-n-o" Young Ethan shouted. Ivy, his aunt looked at young Ethan, turned her back, and left... . . "Ethan! Ethan!! Are you there?" Ivy shouted. The call woke Ethan up from his thoughts. "Yes I am" "You are coming to my place. Copy that?" "Give me a good reason to Aunty Ivy..." "You will learn of the truth very soon... Just bring your ass down here tomorrow" Ethan removed the phone, and disconnected the call... "Life really knows how to f**k my plans up. Nice one there life" Ethan spouted as he gestured to increase the volume of the TV, he then remembered the old woman's words... "I'm in a bad mood, let me leave you be tonight" He said and turned around to exit the sitting room. He paused, and looked back on the wall clock hanging right above the plasma TV. "Why is he not coming?" He whispered, and finally left the sitting room. Few minutes later... The passcode of Ethan's main entranced beeped four times, and it unlocked. An unseen figure crept into the house while Ethan was busy packing his clothes. The figure walked into the first room by the right, he looked through, but saw no one, then the next room, still the unknown person saw no one. He passed through the corridor, and the last room which was Ethan's - slightly opened, as the figure saw Ethan packing his clothes, he walked in unnoticed. "I can see you Alexander" Ethan said without looking at the figure that just entered. "It is Alisander" The figure looked disappointed as he looked at Ethan. Alisander stood straight, his muscular figure shone through his fitted jeans, he puts his two hands on his waist as the electric fan blew his yellow hair sideways, and the colourful lights in Ethan's room saturated his eyes colour. One would call him a handsome god, but he was far from it, but handsomeness found a way to stick to him. "I thought you aren't coming" Ethan said. "I had to see my Mom off, and told him I was travelling abroad" Alisander explained. "I guess you have to" Ethan responded. Alisander looks confused as he changed his posture to look at Ethan. "She called?" Alisander asked hoping he will say no. "Yes, she did" Ethan replied, and Alisander threw a feat. "Damn! When I was about enjoying my life here!" Ethan was disappointed as he puts his right hand on his forehead. "I'm more disappointed Al" Ethan confessed. Alisander sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Ethan as he moved to and fro packing his clothes. "Why can't you say no though?" Alisander asked. Ethan stood upright staring at Alisander. "Al, you have asked this question like fifteen good times, and three bad times..." Alisander stood up, walked towards the Ethan's shoe rack. "We had only moved twice. where did you see ---" Alisander paused and continued. "Where did we move eighteen times?" "I know you don't know figurative words" Ethan sarcastically said. "Ya! Are you trying to get on my nerves right now!?" Alisander shouted as he picked up some of Ethan's shoes, and turned around. "I can't dare you" Ethan said as he raised up his two hands. Alisander stretched his arms out pointing at Ethan to collect the pair of shoes in his hands. "Thanks" Ethan said and collected the shoes from him. "So, where are we going?" Alisander asked. "Valdec City" Ethan responded. "That's aunty Ivy's place" Alisander exclaimed. "Yup" Ethan answered looking disappointed. "I thought she --" "Yeah, she told me to stay faraway from her" "And now she is calling you back?" "Yup" "When are we leaving?" "Tomorrow" "Tomorrow! That's crazy!" "I know right..." "Let me go home and pack up" "Don't run away like previous times" Alisander looked at Ethan... "I'm grown now, I don't think I will try to runaway" Ethan scoffed and continued what he was doing. Alisander exited the door, Ethan gazed as he left, and smiled. Valdec City Everyone looked busy as they enjoyed themselves in a bar. They all are cracking jokes, and laughing. Sitting at the bar counter, a redheaded man was with two beautiful women beside him drinking beer as he enjoyed himself. "Richard, how do you feel about becoming the alpha now?" The lady at his right hand side asked. Richard managed to turn his head towards the lady that asked the question. "I'm glad! It seems the killer wants me to be the new alpha! Anywhere that killer is, I'm grateful" The two ladies smiled as he answered the question. Right at the corner of the bar room, an unknown person dressed like an assassin stared at Richard as he spoke. "Why don't we head to my house to enjoy some time alone?" Richard asked and he stood up looking half drunk. A man hurriedly walked inside a big house... "Where is the Alpha!" He shouted without greeting the people he met in the room. "It is the shouting for me?" Sasha, a woman who had barely avoided ugliness calmly asked as she stared at the man standing right in the middle of the room. The eldest in the room stood up slowly, and walked towards the man. "Kelvin, from the beginning of time, death was the only thing that keeps turning round and round and round the alpha. This is the 7th day of his reign, let's watch, and maybe we can catch the killer, or maybe killers too" Logan, the eldest explained. "But, we don't know his whereabouts, talk less of protecting him, and catching the killer," Richard said. "He appointed his Beta, and gamma, I think they should be able to protect him from harm" Sasha reminded him. "Haven't we gotten home?" Richard asked. "No, we haven't" the ladies answered while struggling to keep him up. They walked slowly, and the killer followed them. Suddenly, another person got out of nowhere attacking the killer, but the killer was fast enough to dodge the kick. Two others came out surrounding the killer. Richard stood upright, and serious. "I thought you were drunk" One of the ladies asked. "No, my love, I wasn't drunk" Richard smirked. Richard fixed his eyes on the unknown person. "Who are you? Remove your mask, and I might let you live" Richard commanded. He got no reply, and he is losing his patience. He pinched his nose looking sideways then to the killer. "I'm talking to you fella, Who are you? And why are you killing Alphas?" Richard asked again hoping the person would answer. The killer looked at Richard, but still yet, no response. Richard finally lost his patience. "Kill him," Richard ordered. They took their fighting stance, the weakest of them all attacked first, stretching out his arm moulded into a fist wanting to punch the killer, but was easily overpowered. Immediately the rest charged towards the killer. The killer blocked all of their attacks, dealing a blow on each of them. Richard, seeing he couldn't run, and had no chance against this unknown person, he took on his wolf form, and the rest of the team did the same. "Arhhhhh!" The two ladies screamed running down the dark street. Slowly, the killer moved backwards, and they followed him slowly. Then he stopped moving, widened his hands stretching it forward towards Richard, and his team. A screeching sound filled their ears, as they drew backwards, they wanted to howl, but they were unable to. "Wtf is this? A witch amongst us?" Richard thought. The killer emitted silver stakes kept in the body, the stakes were floating in the air, the killer raised the two hands up, and the silver stakes pointed at the four of them. Kelvin ran, and the killer saw him charging forward, he stretched out the hands making the silver stakes pierce through them. The killer ran into the dark, and Kelvin followed. Kelvin searched for the killer, but couldn't find the killer, and he was disappointed. He walked towards the alpha who had already turned cold in human form. Next Morning... Madam Cynthia woke up from her couch. "Oh, I slept here again?" She said as she stretched herself and walked outside to get her mailbox. She yawned, and opened her door. Her leg stepped on an envelope at the entrance. She shrunk her eyes, bent down, picked up the envelope, and opened it as it read.. "Dear Madam Cynthia, hope this finds you well, and hope you didn't sleep on the couch overnight. I'll be gone for a very long time, I wish I had more time to stay here with you. Don't miss me too much, I will be back. Love from Ethan" Madam Cynthia smiled as she read the words. "Ethan..." She only managed to whisper those words as she wiped the tears in her eyes. At the Airport "Please tell me Al came through" Ethan said to himself. He looked around to see if his eyes were going to meet any luck. Suddenly, Alisander placed his arm across Ethan's shoulders. "Were you waiting for me? Alisander asked. "Why would I?" Ethan replied. "I know you were!" Alisander said and pushed Ethan forward. They both walked down to the counter.
