RAQUEES POV

I picked up the flash drive, turned it around in examination then headed for my bedroom. Mom must have

wanted me to keep it safe, What’s in in thought I always thought, she only wanted me to have it because of the photo in it?

“Well, why don’t you check out what’s in it rather than asking questions” A voice spoke, i turned around,looking for the owner, but i was the only one present

“Are you going to check it or not? I’m dying out of curiosity here the voice spoke again, turns out it was coming from inside me, is that even possible!

“Maybe it’s my subconsciousness” & muttered

Inserting the flash drive into my laptop, I sat on the bed waiting for it to load, in anticipation, when it was done.

were swell in it.

found out that videos were

I clicked on the first one, and it was me and my parents in the park, I was around the age of five then or thereabout, we were all happy, we had promised to stick together as a family forever but who knew they would break their promise at such an early stage, leaving me all alone. I watched the video with a smile on my face and a couple of tears running down my check, clicking on the second video, it was another one of our whole family

spending time together, so was the third, fourth, filth and so on till i got to the last one. This was one with my mom and dad, I was not in it. They were both seated on the couch in our living room back in

australia. They both wore serious expressions on their faces and i tensed up

“Sweetheart If you’re watching this video, that only means one thing,

and are already dead” Dad was the first to speak.

“There’s something we want to tell you, and I know you’re probably wondering why we had to wait ull we were no more. He continued

“I know this probably seems like a silly thing, and your might feel upset but we couldn’t bring ourselves to tell it to

you to your face, because we were scared of how you would react. Mom said with a smile, that smile that I missed so much it was one simple gesture but carried a lot of weight, just with that smile of reassurance, my confidence would speed up ten folds higher, this time, she was trying to tell me that no matter what i heard, everything would be fine.

“We might seem like cowards, but trust us, this is probably for the best, in this way, we would be able to keep safe from the prying eyes of our enemies” This time it was dad. he looked at mom and the nodded

With a deep sigh, he went ahead to explain how he was a werewolf. At that statement, I laughed so hard, that I fell to the ground, they really got me

on this one

Oh those two, this was one of their pranks, good okl times, they knew how invested I was in the werewolf myth

and so they decided to joke about it or so I thought. I stopped laughing abruptly when I saw that they still had

serious expression on their faces

“You’re probably laughing hysterically right now, thinking that this might be a joke or something. But honey, this is the truth, we’ve been hiding it from you for so long. If you can remember, I was always against your involvement and research about werewolves. This wasn’t because I didn’t believe in them not because I hated you, this was because our Alpha Cypher

at was the sheriff, promised to leave you alone if We never informed you about our true identity in

whom you thought was

the pack. It is a serious crime for a werewolf to mate with a human, but I loved your mom so much, that i was

willing to break the rules, and I assure you, I have never for once regretted my decision. The reason we’re still alive is due to the fact that I have a secret spell that can grant great powers and immortality. This is a secret I want you to keep safe for me. No one else must hear about it. If they do, they will come after you in pursuit of such great power. Cypher has been looking for ways to get the spell into his possession but I had always made sure it was well hidden. Now it’s your turn to keep it safe and hidden. When I pass on, I want you to know that Cypher was behind it. He’s been trying to do that for a long time, even before you were born, but he hasn’t succeeded yet..” I paused the video and cried like a baby. Cypher, he was Leo’s father, they were such a family of bullies, what had our family ever done to them to deserve this ill treatment?

They robbed me off the experience of having a father in a higher percentage of my stay on earth, they also robbed me off that of a mother too, because i’m very sure she developed her ailment due to constantly thinking about the

death of my dad, they robbed my kids of the love of a grandfather too

8:04 PM

“When they grow wiser and begin to ask questions about their grandparent, how would I bring myself to tell them that their grandpa murdered their other grandpa?

This was sickening. I felt something form a knot in my stomach, it was not unease, it was anger. How dare he? So what if he

was an Alpha, he couldn’t just go around killing anyone he wished like they were some animals

“Technically, they are that strange voice pointed out

“Oh shut up! You know just what i mean” i defended

The more I thought about it, the angrier I felt about it, it was not right in any way

How greedy could people be for power! He robbed me of my dad, my dad who had the spell but never used it

“We aren’t letting him get away with it right? Justice must be served for our dad. We need to bring him to justice” the voice said and I nodded, but this was getting weird, at first I thought it was just my thoughts, but the voice sounded like that of an entirely different person, like someone who had a mind of theirs, like there was

someone else inside of me

“Who are you?” I asked aloud but got no response

“Hello!” I called out again, but still got no response. I sighed and rolled my eyes. I’m so silly

“Wait! Were you talking to me?” i instinctively jumped backwards at the sound of the voice

I picked up the vase on the bedside table as a weapon. I held it out, while bending my back, in a pose ready for attack

“I don’t actually think you need that?” the voice said again and i jumped to the other side and swung my hand with a full force, I almost fell to the ground, but had a enough stamina to keep me standing

“In here!” it said and I turned around swiftly, still holding my weapon out

“Where? Where are you? show your face” I challenged

“I wish I could, but i can’t

“Why is that?”

“Because I’m inside you dummy.

ou dummy. I’m in your head, as a matter of fact, I

I am you” the voice said and I got even more confused

“What? What does that even mean? You better stop messin.” I was interrupted by the door swinging open. I turned sharply

“Who are you talking to!” Andrew asked and I sighed, relief washing over me

“Thank goodness! It’s just you” I said and he creased his brows

“Were you expecting someone?” He asked

“No.no- I waved – I wasn’t.expecting any one and i definitely wasn’t talking to anyone” I responded, he didn’t NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

me slightly, I was not crazy or i

or maybe I was

“You’re back early” I said, trying to change the subject, thank God he didn’t press further

“Yeah, I had a morning shift, I told you that” He responded

“Oh? Did you?” I asked and he looked at me lazily, silently saying “Really?”

“What! I didn’t hear it I said in my defense

“Are the kids back?” He asked

“No they aren’t” I answered

“And that would be because!” I cocked my brow at his question, he sounded as though he wanted to remind

me of something

“That is because I haven’t…gosh!” I trailed off and immediately grabbed my phone to check the time. I was

three hours thirty minutes late from picking them up from school

A few seconds later, I was back into the room to pick up my cell phone. Just then it rang. A strange number

“Hello!” I greeted

“Am I on to Ms Raquel Silverno?” A masculine voice on the other end of the line spoke

“Yes you are. Who is this please?” I asked

“This is Officer Boston Lavender, we have two kids in our custody, named Alee and Alex Silverno. Are you their mother?” He asked and I responded positively, then he requested that I reported at the station to get them back into my custody
