Nightmare

Her major motive now is how to attack and kill James but she had to make a Flawless plan because any mistakes would mean her death. She didn’t know exactly what specie of animal he was . For her to successfully defeat him , she has to at least know what she was going to face and how to face it. Even if she couldn’t get him to pay for what he took from her, she would make him pay by taking a loved one also.

“ Ready the vehicles we’re riding out at sunset”

She was going back to the City to bring help. Sheena lived in Colombia and belonged to a large group of hunters association. Whenever each branch of the association has a difficult task that couldn’t be completed alone, he would bring it to the headquarters in Colombia and the eldest hunters would provide solution or advice on how to deal with the situation. The association was headed by a woman in her late fifties . She was called The Oracle. The name came as a result of the fact that she always had answers to every problem no matter how complicated. She had only one eye and often wore an eye bandage or tinted eye glasses to conceal the deformation. Story had it that age fought an alpha were wolf without a gun but just a knife and killed it. It was in that fight that she lost her eye. She looked younger than her age and admonished instructions like a soldier. It was said she served in the military in her youthful years before she retired and chose a different calling after losing all her crew members to a Wolfpack. Her crew members was her family and their death meant so much to her. Sometimes people said she had dark magic as no person can possess such adverse knowledge such as she did without having any magic.

She had two sons who were also high ranking officers in the association. They had their own group of hunters just like Shannon. It was she who rescued Shannon from the wolves that killed her parents when she was younger. She has since then trainee her to be strong and courageous to avenge the death of her lived ones. She personally tutored Shannon and taught her all that she knew about werewolf hunting.

“ What’s making you look like s**t! Who beat you up?” The oracle asked Shannon as she walked in looking so frustrated and Angry.

She was still smoking her pot and having a cool evening playing chess with some of her officers while they drank together.

“ We need to talk, it’s urgent” Shannon said not minding the other officers around .

Everyone was very surprised at such a weird attitude, she didn’t even answer anyone when greeted. But what could they do? They better not say a word or she’ll mess everyone up with whatever not is that bothered her.

“ Alright kiddo, relax. Get the f**k out!”

The Oracle commanded the men who were with her to leave the room for her and Shannon before she added.

“ What the f**k is wrong with you, where’s Jane” She put out her smoke and adjusted herself.

Shannon was mute for a couple of seconds before she started sobbing. The issue with Jane had eaten her up and she was making her lose her sanity. She tried to say something but as soon as she lifted her head, she put it down again to control the tears.

“ Tell me the son of a b***h that harmws my baby girl and I’ll being hell upon him right this minute”

The oracle was beginning to fume as she knew that it was a really bad thing that made her cry. The last time she ever saw her cry was the first day she met her in the woods after her family had been torn apart by the merciless wolves. She was running out of the scene after the wolves had had their fill of her family. She bumped into heavily armed men who began to shoot at the wolves while she kept running without even considering being hit by the bullets. She tripped on a giant root and fell down crying before the Oracle walked down to her and lifted her up. She made her a promise that day to give her the strength, knowledge and means of fighting against those that took her family. She promised never to let anything make her cry ever again.

“ The wolves had her and now, she’s turned into one of those things” She muttered .

“ Oh f**k!” The oracle shouted in a loud voice.

One or the guys entered uninvited to know what was happening but The Oracle picked up her pistol from the table and released all the bullets in him till there was known left.

“ How the hell did you let such a thing happen to her. I want to believe that you wiped out the stinking animals responsible for this.” The oracle asked with her voice driven by her anger .

“ She ran off one night and couldn’t be found till couple of days later not as our Jane but as a wolf. I identified the boy responsible for this but he was too strong for me. It was just like he couldn’t be killed. I released a fully loaded round of bullets into him but he was still standing.”

“ What the f**k are you talking about. ‘He was still standing', my foot. Every f*****g thing dies” The oracle angrily replied.

“I wanna see this animal and know what it looks like. I don’t f*****g believe nothing can kill it unless it has no blood in his veins, then I blow him open and know the s**t he’s made of” The oracle added.

Shannon brought her cell phone and shows her the picture of James in a wolf form and his picture in human form.

“This looks like every other wolf to me, only bigger but still a wolf.” The oracle concluded as she threw the phone back to Shannon.

“ I thought as much when I first saw him but got very much disappointed. I have to call for a retreat because he had influenced all other wolves and we were being massacred. I barely made it out”

Shannon said.

“What about his family, has he got no friends? Why do you let his friends and family walk free while he takes yours. I didn’t raise you to be so weak, kiddo!. You disappoint me. We go see Balor, tomorrow and know how to deal with this s**t. Balor was the oracle’s closest friend. He was the secret behind the name 'Oracle' given to her. He sometimes fortified some of her weapons and men in cases of very dangerous fights. He claimed to have gifts to do all these but only he and The Oracle knew he was a Sorcerer and got his powers from dark magic. He has been the pillar behind The Oracle’s supremacy, helping her claim victory over all the enemies she’s faced. He would sometimes too her off on an impending danger and she would be fine before the danger arrives. That is why she was being called The Oracle, knowing things even before they happen so no one dared betray her because they always knew the outcome.Balor lived not too far from the headquarters. It was not a long journey getting to his place but The Oracle rarely came to meet him by herself, she mostly sent the boys each time she needed something from the great Balor.

“ Good to see you my good friend. It’s ben a while” Balor greeted Shannon and The Oracle.

“ Good to see you too, how have you been?” Shannon replied trying to feign a smile.

“ Been great. You don’t look so great, what could be the problem?” Balor asked as he saw how Moody and worried both women were looking even though they tried to put up a smile.

“ there’s been a situation that’s proven difficult to handle. My girl here went on a job in a particular town and lost her niece to the wolves . She was turned and according to her she identified the person responsible for turning her niece but the problem is that this wolf can’t be killed. She said she emptied a fully loaded gun on this wolf but he stood his ground.”

The Oracle had not finished explaining to Balor before he burst into laughter.

“ Everything dies! You just have to know what kills it. Does he have a family? We need to explore his weakness as well as the extent of his powers maybe we can get the information that can nail him from family or friends.” Balor suggested.

“ I met his family once, two females. They both live in town in the same house with the boy.” Shannon said.

.

“ I’ll get you some boys, you go get them both. If they have nothing to offer us, we kill them both.” The Oracle said .

James had gone to school when Shannon and some heavily armed men stormed their house one sunny afternoon. They had about six trucks fully loaded and armed. Maya was the first to see them but it was already too late for her to raise an alarm. The men stormed the house but were matched by the strength of Neemah who took the first set of men out in a blink of an eye. When Shannon waited for a couple of minutes and didn’t see the men not the women they wes sent to get, she communicated to them through radio she had but received no response. She knew something was wrong and decided to open fire on the house. The men rounded the house and stayed in strategic positions waiting for her orders.

“ Fire!”

Shannon shouted and they opened fire on the house with Neemah and Maya inside. Neemah used her body as shield to protect Maya as she pushed her down to avoid being hit by the bullets. The bullets touched Maya and harmed her but it didn’t seem to be killing her. When the shootings have seized for a moment, Shannon ordered another set of men to enter and again they were no match for Neemah’s impeccable speed. She took them all out just as they came into the house. Shannon saw the movement of Neemah and knew she wasn’t a werewolf but a vampire. She ordered for a mirror and refracted the sun’s rays into the room and across Neemah’s face to satisfy her curiosity of the type of creature she was. It burned Neemah’ face forcing her to hide from the rays coming to her. Her secret was blown and she needed another way out. She picked up her phone and called James, It rang several times but he didn’t pick. Each time she dialled her number, she received a voicemail. She knew it was down to her to find a way out of the situation. She couldn’t run from the house because the sun was still up and will get burnt to dust even before she could make for the run.
