Chereads / MY LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD / Chapter 22 - Chapter 21

Chapter 22 - Chapter 21

Joshua is sleeping and he hears a knock at his door this causes him to spring up awake into a seated position on the bed then he sees it is morning.

Joshua:( Oh ,it is morning already.It felt like I only slept for a few hours.)- Thought as he gets up while rubbing his eyes and walks to the door.Then he picks up Lancelot's bed and places it back on its original place.-

Joshua then walks to the door and then opens it.

Tiffany: Hey there handsome ,you look tired? Was yesterday to much for you?-asked flirtatiously.-

Joshua steps back in shock.

Joshua: What are you doing here?-Said with a irritated look on his face.-

Tiffany: Don't worry lover boy. I just came to inform you that the king is holding a conference and wants you there.

Joshua: Did you tell him about what happened yesterday.-said with a worried look.-

Tiffany: No I didn't ,I would not tell a soul. I'm a woman of honour.And I'm still looking into your problem.

Joshua: Okay thank you Tiffany.

Tiffany walks away and blows Joshua a kiss but Joshua waves it away.

Joshua:( The conference is probably about what I did yesterday in the slums.The king probably found out from other sources.)-Joshua gets ready and heads to the dinning room.-

Joshua walks into the dining room and sees King William, Captain Percival and Jonathan standing infront of the huge dining room window.Joshua walks to them and stands infront of them.

King William: Let the conference begin.

King William: Joshua , Jonathan received information from the civilians living in the slums that a monster killed two werewolves and not only killed them but ate them.

Captain Percival: Where were you yesterday Joshua?

Joshua: Do you think that was me , Werewolves don't eat other werewolves anyway and I was in my room just relaxing.-Joshua said with sweat starting to form on his forehead.-

Everybody looks at Joshua trying to figure out if he is lying or not.This causes Joshua to become nervous.

King William: Okay this story adds up,from what Tiffany informed us where you were yesterday.

Joshua:( fewh lucky guess ,why didn't Tiffany tell me about what she told them.I almost got caught.)- Thought as Joshua becomes relieved.-

King William: We also found a maid to replace Amy, she is a low class Werewolf. Jonathan found her from the slums and said she has potential.She should be coming today .We decided on a werewolf because they are stronger than normal humans and it will help increase the security of the Noble house.We also want to make the human kingdom more open to low class werewolves.How do you feel about this Joshua?

Captain Percival: I am against William's judgement but he is the king so I have accepted his ruling.

Joshua: I understand why you want to allow low class Werewolf's into the kingdom because most of them never ate humans and wasn't a threat to humans unlike Noble werewolfs.I understand and accept your ruling.

Captain Percival looks displeased with Joshua's words.

King William: Okay good ,there will also be a vampire noble sent to replace Jonathan as a butler because Jonathan is getting to old for the job.

Joshua: But why a noble Vampire aren't they this as bad as the Noble werewolves.

King William: They were but after the great war the previous vampire king died and his son took over.His son stop letting humans be treated as livestock and rather let them live in harmony with the vampires in the vampire kingdom.The humans get paid by blood banks for their blood and lives happy normal lives in the Vampire kingdom.The Vampire kingdom also made a peace treaty with the human kingdom.The reason also because vampires can drink any blood of noble humans or low class humans and they get the same substances unlike noble werewolves who gets more strength from eating a noble human as to eating low class human's meat.So that's why the Vampires are no threat to the human kingdom but rather our allies.So they are sending a young noble Vampire after hearing of the werewolf attack to help increase our security.What do you think about this Joshua?

Joshua: I got no problem with it.If King William believes it's the right choice.I accept the ruling.

Captain Percival looks at Joshua with disapproval.

King William: Can you two please leave, I would like to speak to Joshua alone.

Then Captain Percival and Jonathan leaves the dining room.

King William face becomes serious.This causes Joshua to become nervous.

King William: Joshua what is your relationship with my daughter?

Joshua eyes becomes wide in shock from king William's words.

Joshua: Me ...and your... daughter...-Said as he stutters in fear.-

King William: Calm down I know you guys are dating but what is your intentions with her?

Joshua becomes a bit calmer.

Joshua: I plan to marry her one day and I love her more than anything.-said with conviction.-

King William smiles at Joshua's answer.

King William: All I can ask you as a father is to stop making her sad.She was crying last night.

Joshua: She was crying? She misunderstood something but I will clear it up ,when I see her again.

King William: Okay I understand, you may leave Joshua.

Then Joshua leaves the dining room and sees Jonathan waiting for him in the hallway.He walks to Jonathan.

Jonathan: I had extra information about the monster he had green glowing eyes, a black bushy tail and black wolf ears but I kept this information away from the king.The description matches you entirely expect for the eyes.I know it was you.

Joshua is shocked by Jonathan's statement.

Joshua: Yes it was me.-said with a sad expression.-

Jonathan: Why did you do it?Did you do this because of what happened to Amy.

Joshua: Yes ,I did.-said with a sad expression.-

Jonathan: I told you. It wasn't your fault. It was mine...

Joshua: It's not your fault.I took her to the slums even that I know it was dangerous.

Jonathan: No I killed her.I payed the werewolves to kill her.Then told them were to find her and that there is a weak noble werewolf protecting her.

Joshua's head begins to get a sharp aching pain forcing him to grab his head.

(( THIS BASTARD HE IS THE REAL MONSTER !!. KILL HIM JOSHUA ,KILL THE BASTARD !!))- A voice begin talking to Joshua in his head while his head is paining and he is holding his head trying to get the pain to stop.-

Jonathan: I know it is hard to hear but I had to do it.

(( JOSHUA LET ME TAKE OVER AND I'LL DEVOUR HIM .HE IS NO DIFFERENT FROM THE WEREWOLVES !!!))- Said in Joshua's head then Joshua drops his hands and gives into the voice.-

Joshua eyes begin to glow green ,his teeth becomes sharper and grows larger.Spit begins coming out his mouth as he begins to grunt and go on all fours with his wolf ears and fluffy tail pointing upwards.
