"Ann! Ann where are you?"
Mrs Simon called after his wife as he ran into the underbrush
of an urban forest near one the Leeds beaches
With his cat vision he could see through the dark forest as if it was day.
"Ann! Ann don't worry I'm gonna get to you soon"
He kept listening to her faint cry.
He ran towards that direction as branches of shrubs slapped against his dark fur
she was across a swamp
he changed into a four legged cat climbed on a tree whose branches cross over the water
The big cat crossed over with it's yellow eyes glittering in the dark night like shinning star when he safely landed on the other side of the water it stood on two feet
stood up straight like a man he began to run on two feets
"Ann! Ann !" he said grabbing his wife in his arms
"I am gonna to kill her myself my love how can they hurt you this bad"
Ann who had shifted back into her human form begged to be saved.
"Please sweetheart don't let me die
its so painful my head hurts my neck "
Mr Simon began to growl in a menacing way
"Who did this to you Ann?"
Mr Simon roared in a masculine voice of a lion
"A police man shot at me I've already killed him then Mrs Helen
she fought to say as she was almost unconscious.
"Which Helen?
you mean Jenny's mother?
Mr Simon asked his brows folded he caressed his wife's hair
She nodded do his question
I shall k i l l Helen and her daughter by my own bare hands
I'll watch them see me eat that baby! they dare hurt you? He hissed.
"Take me to the hospital I don't have so long I have lost enough blood already
there's a bullet in my lung Ann said as the light was fading out.
Mr Simon gathered his beloved wife on his arms and clutched her to his chest
he didn't take the water logged road he sniffed the air for where human scent was coming from
He began to run with her as he jumped over woods and stones on their way.
They got to the road he shifted to his human form
he was unclad he couldn't take Ann to that same hospital naked he had run for hours to meet her in the forest
their minds were connected he knew just were to find her
He stood by the road side watching his wife pass as all the vehicles he stopped speed off terrified of a naked middle age man and a bleeding woman
standing beside the road in the dead of the night.
He watched Ann becoming limped he flagged down a vehicle the driver wouldn't stop that part of the forested road was prone to armed robberies and kidnapping as at then
he jumped onto the front of the speeding car the driver missed him by an inch
the driver thinking he had run him over came down to check
Simon leaped on him immediately shifted into a big cat like a lion dark black as the man fight in horror
he watched terror as giant claws of a beast dug into his face it pealed off the cover of the man's face
the man began to choke on his blood
Then a strong bite from the sharp canines of the big cat to his neck saw the man grunt and went quiet, his blood
splutter in every direction Simon dragged the dead man's corpse to were Ann lay he cut of the head and threw it away
then squeezed the man's neck like a woman would squeeze a wet Bedsheet she was washing and made sure every drop of blood landed on Ann's mouth
"Ann baby you're going to be fine"
regained a bit of her strength as she feasted on human blood like IV drip.
Simon then changed into a man and wore the man's clothes he took Ann into the vehicle and drove to the nearest hospital he dropped Ann on the ground and dumped the car in a canal before taking her to the emergency centre.
the Doctors and nurses rushed with a stretcher to collect the naked and bloodied woman
they rushed her into the theatre and began operations as Mr Simon called his P.A with a borrowed phone and ordered him to transfer some money into the hospital account
over surpassing the hospital bills
the Doctors and nurses scurried About making sure the wife of a benevolent philanthropist didn't die
He called in his driver to bring him one if his cars with his phone
Smith was at home sleeping he was tired of his wife's tantrums and shenanigans
so he stayed away from the hospital whenever she was ready she would allow him see his baby.
He was dozing when his phone began to ring the room was dark
Smith didn't like sleeping with the light on
He moved his hands on the table near his bed and felt for his phone
"Hello who is this?"
he asked with a grumpy voice he had not had a good sleep for two days he was dead sleepy.
"Smith please come to the hospital your mum was shot by armed robbers
I and your siblings are currently in the hospital."
I will sent you the address now Smith jumped from the bed in his pijamas
he dashed down and got to his Mercedes Gle class 2020 model.
He kept honking the horn at the gate the gateman was dead sleeping he jumped out of the drivers door of the SUV and kicked the security door
"if you don't get your ass up you gonna get fired do I pay you to sleep?" Smith yelled " don't worry you gonna get another job tomorrow morning
" The gateman jumped up and was confused
" who's there ?"
He asked in his thick African accent.
"Come and open this door you seems to need another job elsewhere did I employ to sleep?" Smith quarreled.
"Boss am sorry I was very tierd "
He said apologetically.
"Shove that apology down your throat just open the d a m n gate"
as soon as he opened the gate he sped off the compound he was wondering what would take his mom out in the night and not in her bullet proof SUV?
Then his phone began to ring again it was his wife calling
he cut off the call she called again and again he picked the call up
"Jenny what is it ?
why not let me have my peace?
did I commit a crime marrying you? to uplift you and your wretched family from poverty?" He blasted his wife
Jennifer was shocked beyond words she couldn't believe she heard such word from her husband.
She cut the call and he threw away his phone to the passenger seat.
"woman ! nobody can separate me from my family
you have to go back to the gutters he cursed How dare you accuse my father of being a wizard?
it's your mother who is a witch just don't call my phone again his knuckles tightened around the steering well
He slammed his huge hands on the steering wheel
"I am d a m n e d ! Aaaar!" Jenny you're a curse to my life
I should have listen to my parents and never had gone into the trenches to pick a wife
" He spoke to himself as he drove at top speed to meet his father and siblings waiting for his mother at the hospital.
"You're going back to the trenches"
he cussed.
it was 2:am in the morning when he drove into the hospital.
