Chapter 1: Greg's reality befolded
RAEL'S POV:
(Sounds of werewolves are heard from a distance wailing, footsteps are heard approaching)
"Greg, there's something i want to share with you,"i spoke as my legs started to feeble,"I know this is out of the blue's for you but ..it leaves me no choice but to tell you this , I know it's going to be a little bit hard for you to digest what am about to tell you but i have no other options with me right now,I'm pregnant Greg,and the baby's ours me and you my love." I finally utered the words, thinking that Greg's gonna be happy for us.In a mixed swift of emotions,he grabbed me by the face as his fangs and claws emerged like that of a stray dog after being stoned by surprise in the bush."what's happening to you my love? i thought you'd find it appealing for we have all been longing for this for a very long time"I asked as I tried to move some steps backwards.i felt his grip tightening ready to attack,his face changed all of a sudden." I can't watch you grow that baby, while you know very well your parents were the reason for the murder of my parents."Greg roared as he moved closer to me trying to reach to my big bellied stomach with a firm grip,his claws as sharp as a razor,his eyes turned red-ish, ready to unleash his inner beast mode.silence creeped as a sweat sensation grabbed the most of me.This wasn't the Greg I knew for the past five years of our hidden relationship.I knew it was forbidden but nevertheless I found myself falling for him.Technically am human and he was a "breed",a werewolf type of a breed.My ancestors have always been on the lookout for such , they believed that "breeds" are inhuman and that they feed on human flesh.My generation has always been trained to hunt them down for the better tomorrow. "you deceived me!" he roared again, each step bringing him closer,his fury overshadowing reason.I scrambled backwards, my movement frantic,my heart pounding very first in my chest, there was no escape no sanctuary to shield me from the wrath of the one I once held dear.Greg,my love turned tormentor, loomed over me with a feral hunger.In that moment,I faced the grim certainty that my demise would come at the hands of the who had once meant the world to me.
The final chapter of my existence unfolded,shrouded in darkness and despair.
Thank God my father had been watching over my back all along.He slowly came out of the log of woods, pointing his machine gun directly towards Greg,a symbol of a father's protective resolve .But Greg defiant and unrelenting, remained undeterred, poised to assail my father,to extinguish the only light of hope that remained.
In a blink of an eye ,I saw my father's finger grip tightened around the trigger, unleashing not merely an ordinary bullet, but one imbued with the essence of a wolf's bane a force to stiffle the darkness within Greg's being. The projectile found it's mark, penetrating the veil of malevolence piercing Greg's tormented heart.
Greg snarled, his voice dripping with a vernomous whisper in the jungle." I will never let you get away with this." His words laden with a chilling promise of retribution, echoed in the void.
"Snap out of it my dear child!" My father's voice reverberated through the chilly air.We must run and escape before it's too late!He doesn't love you anymore! He's now nothing but a savage beast!" Yet my resolve held strong unyielding against reason caution. I refused to abandon Greg. Before I could utter another word,I felt a sudden blow crashed upon my skull,a cruel strike that robbed me of consciousness.
The next minute I opened my eyes confusion enveloped me like a suffocating cloak as I mustered the strength to speak."Where am I? How did I end up here?" My words emerged as a febble whisper, laced with uncertainty. You're safe now," they reassured me, a faint smile tagging at their lips. "Where's Greg?" The reaction on my father's face transformed from sorrow to bitterness,and anger ignited within his eyes." Don't you ever mention that monster under my roof!he shouted as he maintained a firm eye contact within me, he's a devil in disguise, I had warned you severally times but you decided to ignore my your old man's advices ok!"
" but father..! I stammered as I tried to shout back.i know Greg is still out there,and he won't rest until am dead! I don't want to get you guys fixed up in my own mess" I spoke eloquently as I tried to get out of my bed."where do you think you're going young lady! you think this is just but a joke,you don't even realize the mess you've caused all of us ,you have already endangered my family,now what do you think is going to happen us? luckily we're all hunters, even if they try to attack we'll fight back."My dad roared as he tried to lay me back to my bed."You can't keep me locked here forever dad,one way or another he's going to find out where I am and I'll be long Dead by that time, please just let me go,so that the both of you may be assured safety." I pleaded my pleas but it all landed in their dumb deaf ears."okay then if you want to keep me locked here just know that am pregnant guys and the baby belongs to Greg! The whole house kept quiet as if the evil of darkness was passing through the thin chilly cold air...yes I've said it now,am pregnant and Greg's the father of my unborn,and he won't rest or be at peace unless am dead,for he thinks that am deceiving him! please let me just go far away from this place " I finally spoke the most terrifying speech at long last, though with a feeble tone " what's! that you're saying young lady.you mean to tell us that you and Greg have been secretly making love besides just seeing each other!" i felt the dissapointmeant in my father's frowned face,he shook his head side ways, trying to imagine the impossible that had happened.
"How can it be,a werewolf and a human? impossible I must be dreaming for god's sake." he moved backwards as he tupped his head as the rest of the family were tapping his shoulders while rubbing his back, trying to calm him down from his anger issues,
"Somebody call out for Magdalena!" he roared

"Quickly darling we have to move quickly," my mother hisses as we make our way through the market, throwing looks all over her shoulder every once in a while.
Several people throw dirty looks at us as we push past them in a hurry. 'Mummy slow down!"I cry out,my legs getting tired as she breaks into a gallop.
"No time,my love, we have to..."
"Stop that woman!"someone cries out. I turn to see a mob of villagers heading straight towards us."She's a witch"One of the villagers scream.Mum lifts up her skirts and turns to me."Run!" We bolt through the crowded market, Knocking over fruits stands and carts as we speed through the busy streets of London.My mother grabs onto my wrist, steering me to the edge of the city where market stands and cobled roads give way to dirt paths and merchants farms.soon enough,I realize we have slipped into the woods.We rush through it and mum flicks her wrist behind her,and the bushes once again disappears with us engalfed in it.
We run down the path until we come upon a small cottage I have never seen before
"Mummy, what's going on?why were those men chasing us? where are we? I ask. "it's alright. it's going to be alright," she coos, cropping my cheeks and crouching down to my eye level.A tired smile stretches across her lips and a few teers well up in her eyes but she quickly wipes them away." I need you to be a big girl. A strong girl. Can you do that for me,my love?"
" I nod stil very confused by the events of the morning.
"Good," she sigh's getting up and rummaging through the house.I remain frozen in place l, suddenly frightened by my mother's strange behavior.She pulls out an old book from one of the dirty shelves."I'm sorry, my little sprite,I know I should have told you this earlier enough but o was waiting for the right moment." she whispers. "But now this book will unlock for you my dear." I give her a confused look " what do you mean by that mum?" I ask, now getting more terrified by my mum's reactions."I know darling you're a little bit cuffed up in emotions by all of this,but trust me on this, it's going to be alright."she says kissing my forehead and caressing the back of my head."But I need to get back to the others, for I know a strong battle has begun against the humans."
"Then I'll come with you..."
"No, my mother shakes her head,you stay here where it's at mostly safe for you don't know any magic yet." I watched my mum speak as teers run down my chubby soft cheeks.
" promise me my dear that you won't get out until I come back? and if I don't come back by sunset, please go without me, don't stay here for so long after sunset."
.
"Yes mum,I promise to be the good girl that you raised,"

"Magdalene!" The sounds of calling brought me back to my rightful senses, since then they have been the one taking care of me though in a s*****y kind of manner."What now?" I yelled back at them trying to atleast to focus on magic spells. Year's have passed since I last saw my family and yes my mother never returned back from the war. Humans were so savage back then,the only family that simperthized with me is this one yet they held me captive in their house home sted.They use me as a weapon against the rivalry werewolves attack.But for sure am okay with that,I find it peaceful for werewolves have always been a stone on the head.I reached down to the drawer to place my wond safely and quickly run out of the house to check on their arising matter."what's going on here?why is everyone out of the blue's suddenly yelling my name?" Obviously am a witch and I happened to know why exactly they were shouting my name but I just wanted to mess up with their heads."we are in need of your assistance, she's pregnant for the werewolf just as you had predicted!"that were words from the head of the family."now what do you want me to do in that matter?"I asked jocking LY trying to held my laughter."Rael has been sneaking behind every ones back to go meet with the alpha's son and when I tried to tell you guys,you happened to think of me as an hypocrite thinking that I was blaming your daughter in order for me to get out of this place,now it has happened and the only way to stop it before it spreads is to use a drop of the alpha's blood..." Before I had even finished my sayings he interrupted
"About that...,we may have a tiny little of a problem on that..!ok, here's the case,I caught him out in the woods and since I was trying to protect my daughter away from him,I happened to fire out to him though missed slightly and now he's out there trying to heel his wounds,i know for sure he'll come around to do revenge at some point but one thing I can't let happen is my daughter giving birth to an alpha!"
I stood still to hear his please as he also looked worried at the same time,he panicked that I could hear his heart beat pounding like the drums of South Africa.
"Calm down guys, this is just a tiny problem and I can fix it as well, I've been studying magic daily and am sure this is just but a mere problem." I assured them, not really staying to my words but all I could give them at that point was a word of hope.
"Where's she?" I shouted as I felt the distance of her scent fading away."she's locked at the cabin.. what do you mean by that query...?"

RAEL'S POV
"I heard them yelling to Magdalene's name and the thought of running away from home came to my mind. I reached down to the drawer and removed a piece of paper and wrote to my father. (The letter)" Am so sorry father but this is going to be for the family's sake i know this is going to be hard for all of you guys but it's about time I started my own life with a new name,it's going to be hard for me as well but it also leaves me know choice but to hide from the world and presence to fade away. I love you all and I hope that someday I'll come back to pay you'll a visit...I gauze this is good bye for now until we meet again."
I placed the paper carefully at the table at took of through the window to start a new life and also to get a new job so as to sustain my new life.
