Chapter 104

Then suddenly, he showed himself. It was a werewolves like us but he was in his human form. His hair was filthy and in a tangled mess. He had sunken eyes and a thin body. We could see that he had actually spent so much time in this cell from his appearance and he smelled like smoke. 'What brought you here in the first place.'" 'I was captured, obviously." He said. He stood his ground staring and observing us. 'What caused that." Laura asked. 'We aren't here to joke." 'They've kept me here for a month now telling me that I would be sacrificed for the red moon rubbish they talked about. I have been trying to escape, in fact I know the passwords to the lock used fir this jail but what can I do with it. They know I can never make it out of this place so they let me know." We all stared at him while taking all he said. 'It's so funny how I never thought I would die in a strange land, now it was becoming a possibility." Je chicked but we could see how sad he looked. 'We are getting out of here this night." I maintained my stand. 'And we are taking you with us." 'Why are you here in the first place, didn't you here how bad and corrupt this place was even from strangers?" 'We did hear but we didn't think it was this bad." Laura said. 'We are here to see the Alpha. According to what we heard, he was ruthless but they didn't even let us meet him." 'They're wouldn't let you meet him." The strange man said sadly. 'Why?" I asked. 'Well, he is currently in a crisis and from what I hear the warriors say, he doesn't want anyone disturbing him." 'What type of crisis?" 'His mother is very sick. I hear she'll die tomorrow and the Alpha is very upset about it. That's why he had ordered that everyone caught will also be killed tomorrow. That's why tomorrow is called the red moon." 'He wants to kill innocent people because his mother would be dying tomorrow?" 'Well, that in few hours time. I guess we are closer to death than I thought." 'No, no." Everyone looked at Damien as he screamed out those words. He was pacing the room and in deep thought too. He scratched his head, stopped to say something but didn't. We all stared at him in anticipation of a good plan of how we could escape from this place. 'I know how we could get out of this place permanently, meet the Alpha and make him agree to our demands." Damien spoke up. He was so confident as he spoke but I was so eager to know what his plans were. 'What do you suggest?" Laura asked. I knew that the suspense was killing her too as it was to me. 'Naomi will heal his mother and he'll have no other choice but to agree to work on this with us." 'What do you mean?" Laura was still asking, confused but then I already understood what Damien was trying to say. 'The healing oil." 'Exactly." Damien confirmed, smiling. He was now excited seeing the hope of us getting out of this place. 'But how can we get that? We don't have it here and I doubt that these people have it here too." Laura looked deeply confused and concerned, she still didn't understand how I could get the healing oil for the Alpha's mother. 'She'll make it." Damien responded to the questions in her head. 'Right." She answered. 'We need to be quick about this. We have no time." 'Are you coming with us?" I turned to the strange man and he looked at me. 'How certain are you that this would work. We might possibly the Alpha off and get killed earlier than we denied imagined." He said. I understood what he was saying. He had been here for so long after several trials to escape that he was now very scared to take this leap too. 'That's the thing about life. It's very uncertain, you just have to take a leap of faith." I said to him. I knew inwas in that position to talk to someone about taking a leap of faith. All my life, I have been so afraid to take steps or make moves that would change everything for me but then recently, I have been taking risks that I didn't know how it would turn out. Why be afraid now, when it was the risk I took that brought us here in the first place. 'Okay." The strange man replied. 'We should make a plan though." Lsura said and I thought it was a good plan. 'Here's the plan I have. We leave this cell and meet with the warriors outside. They'll try to bundle us back to the cell bit we would explain to them that we have a cure to the Alpha's mother's sickness." 'How sure are we that the healing.. healing whatever would help his mother? He'll get really upset if after the promise, we don't keep to our own part of the deal." 'It would sure do the magic." Damien responded to the strange man, hoping he would stop asking distracting questions. 'They'll take us to the Alpha wgo would obviously have his doubt but we'll also convince him. When his mother is brought in, Naomi would do what she's best at but before that, we'll give him the condition that he'll have to be loyal to us and help us build our army." 'It seems like a good plan until it doesn't work out exactly as planned." The strange man said. It seemed like he was warning us about the dangers we were about to get ourselves into. 'If we are leaving, I think we should do so quickly, the aura here is literally choking me." Laura said and we all nodded in agreement. The strange man helped us open the cell and we walked our silently into the dirty unkempt hallway, walking slowly like someone was after us which was true. 'We'll get there very soon. To the place where the warriors stay, get yourself ready." The strange man prepared our mind. We walked faster to meet a door which with a gentle turn got clicked open immediately. We walked further, steadily trying not to get surprised by the warriors themselves. Then, we came to the small room where they all sat discussing and laughing. Immediately, I snuck out my head, they all charged towards us with their weapons.
