Story: The Last Wolf - Season 1 Episode 12

LUCY
Brace yourself for some questions, what does it really want from me, and how long has this thing been watching me? “Why do you want to fight with Richard against your own kind?” it began. I was still stunned that it could talk, “answer me human” it snapped at me, I looked at it and it was really pissed. “After this miserable existence I have endured and I have seen how this endless killing started, I will do anything in my power to end it because I can’t take it anymore” I answered. “Endless killings you say, when you tortured and ultimately turned your father’s enemies mad with your psychic abilities, what did you feel? Power, pleasure, pain? It asked again,” I felt pain ” I answered. Suddenly, it moved so fast it was a blur to me, he pushed me and I landed on the floor, and fixed one of his fore limbs on my throat with sharp looking claws ready to tear my throat out.” I hate lies, lie to me again and I will rip your throat out” it threatened. “What did you feel” he asked again, “I felt nothing, the act itself sickened me but I did it to please my father else he would take me as a weak child” I answered quickly.
“Why do you think you love Richard enough to partake in the unification ritual” it continued with the questions. “I have watched him cater for kids and defend those who are bullied in school because they are orphans, I love his patience and I love the fact that he is human in every way; the very thing I now seek in my Miserable existence “I replied it.” There are a lot of things you humans don’t understand. The will for vengeance in Richard, the hatred the witches have for your kind and vice-versa is a vicious cycle that dates back to a feud between demons ages before your time. You don’t seek good by using evil ways to get it done. That was the mistake your uncle made when he agreed with the witches to summon me from the underworld. The witches had their own agenda and since I was unwilling to Help in doing that, they sought a different means. They summoned another demon who was blood thirsty and found a vessel in your dad. You humans acquired and restarted an ancient war just because of your selfish interests. The demon in your father loathes me so much and when it found the perfect opportunity to destroy me, it did, causing the death of Richard’s parents and since it wanted complete Dominion, it killed every witch who knew of his conjuring, starting the beginning of endless killings. Unfortunately for it, I wasn’t destroyed and I will destroy it not just for Richard but for my pride. “it concluded.” Why does the demon in my dad hates you ” I asked,”that not for you to know” it replied.
” I heard Richard telling you about the unification ritual, well you weren’t well informed, when you both have s*x, and he bites you, he will inject my consciousness into you, remember the demon in your father lives in you and so both me and that demon cannot occupy the same vessel and the fight between us with end up killing you. So you have 15 days after the bite to purge yourself of your father’s demon else you will die, Now that you know this, do you still intend to go on with the ritual? It finished with a question. “Yes” I answered.
“Do you know the complete prophecy that witch was foretelling before your dad killed her years ago ” it asked, “No” I answered, “A raging fire will Come and destroy your kind starting with your first fruit,that is the complete prophecy, so I urge you to ask yourself if the love you have for Richard is genuine or it is the prophecy fulfilling itself since you are your dad’s first fruit ” it finished and then the sound of bones breaking filled the night as Richard took over his body again.

****************************
Richard woke up after three hours and all through I watched him breathe and sleep peacefully, it was so beautiful. I can’t believe I had found the man who would be with me for eternity and was still human in every way. I vowed there and then that whatever means I could use in protecting him, I would even if the price will be the extinction of my kind.
He woke up, looked around and started screaming, “what happened? What did I do? Did I hurt you?”. I told him to calm down and relayed everything that happened to him. He was surprised and showed it all through my story. “You mean I am housing a demon” he said. I answered in the affirmative. “This ritual is complicated,are you sure you still wanna go through with it” he asked. “More than ever” I replied. I have to go Richard, School will resume in four hours time. I kissed him like I wouldn’t see him again before I left, happy that I had made the right choice.

RICHARD
I Still couldn’t believe it, my wolf or demon whatever could talk. I tried communicating with it but all I heard was growls. I gave up and decided to prepare for school.
I arrived school and was in the middle of taking 11th grade Hydrogen and it’s compounds when a vampire who was a student knocked and told me that the Headmistress requested to see me after this class. Since my first day here she haven’t called for me, days have gone and still my evaluation report haven’t been given to me. I arrived at her office and she asked me to sit. “Mr Cypher, your evaluation report is here and I must say I am really impressed,and I am happy to tell you that you have been fully employed and in addition to that, you will head one of the football teams.” she said. I am grateful for this opportunity and will not disappoint you and the school was all I could say because I was boiling inside of me. Why me?, there were other male teachers in the school, why does it have to be me. I had enough already on my shoulders, now training kid ballers has been added. I was barely out of the office when a kid in the 12th grade walked to me and said, “you are the new football coach right,” I nodded my head, “cool, should I call the other members of the team? sorry sir, where are my manners? I am Jason, Captain of Aidenville’s football team b.” He concluded. “It’s alright Jason, We meet at 4pm today” I said
I knew it was hopeless after the training that day. Humans in team b versus vampires in team A. There wasn’t no way in hell we were winning. I had a tough choice to make; even the odds by making them Werewolves or enduring the pain of Loss which I detested so much. I hated losing. But the former wasn’t my choice to make, it was up to the kids to decide if they were ready to live forever just because they want to win a football competition.
