Chereads / The Beast Within Me / Chapter 3 - The Chase

Chapter 3 - The Chase

Derrick set out on the chase with his best men for the job. They rode on horses and moved from town to town. Then they got to find out that Billy had harboured some stranger, so they encounter him in his home

"where are they heading to" Derrick growled 

"Who are you talking about Derrick? Billy replied

"You harbored some strangers 3 nights back and we got some information that they slept here"

" I do welcome many strangers to my home" Billy growled

Derrick struck Billy with a heavy blow and he was bleeding from his nose.

"I asked again where are they going to?"

This time around Billy was not having it and he fought them and he had to run off so they didn't kill him.

"Find him," Derrick growled and roared.

The search went on and on in search of Billy. But he had to hide himself with some of the villagers

"Please I need to hide myself from Klaus's men"

"What did you owe them? " Asked one of the villagers.

"I owe them nothing.." Replied Billy."How come they are after you and also gave you a bleeding nose?" One of the villagers asked.

At that moment, Billy was stunned by what the villagers had been saying about him. They all have been saying he was harboring a girl whom Klaus Has had been after for some time.

Billy is quick to leave the town and go in search of Jennifer and Alice and he prays they are both safe.

" I hope they are safe and also they have gotten to the North Pole which I have asked them to go to."

"Right now I can't think of anything other than getting hold of that little girl before she can control her beast in her" Pounder Klaus. 

"You have to be patient with Derrick and his packs and await his response" One of Klaus Mate consoled him.

"NO!" Klaus growled at her. "You don't understand what is at stake here, Derrick should not fail me or else I will rip out his heart and feed it to the Vultures".

"I know how you are feeling right now, but you have to be strong and not show any sign of weakness to the pack," said one of his mates. "I am not weak!" Shouted Klaus.

"Get me my meal" ordered Klaus.

Jennifer and Alice, along with Gaius, were still riding on the chariot when the horse suddenly came to a stop. And it was very dark in the forest, the night birds, crickets chips there sound all around. The night was so dark as the darkness itself, Their hearts were heard by each other.

 

Gaius who was still very weak and losing blood could barely stand up and look at what was happening. Unknown to them, they are in the line of the werewolf hunters. 

"Who are you" A voice was heard 

"We are just passing by and going to the North Pole," Jennifer responded.

"What is your business at the North Pole?" another voice asked.

"We are going to meet with my mother," Jennifer replied. A soft voice from the darkness spoke "Have you not heard that Klaushase destroyed the North Pole?"

 

"So I have heard from this stranger," Jennifer replied.

" 10th night ago, Klaussentshism packed to look for a girl who was heading to the North Pole but on getting there they found out that she was not there, so they slayed all the girls below 15 years. And they have made a strong warning, on no account should we help a little girl of that age. If found she should brought fought to Bromley"Womanhouse spoke

Another voice shouted. "We hunt werewolves and we can not give in to his threats "

With a fierce battle cry, the hunters decided to charge at Them. 

Marcus the leader of the werewolf hunters had to intervene and stop them from attacking them when he sensed a little girl in the chariot.

"Who is she to you?" Asked Marcus?"

"She is my daughter" Replied Jennifer while robbing her hair.

Marcus was amazed by the answer Jennifer gave him, "Are you sure she is your daughter as you have presumed?"

"Of course she is," Jennifer replied with a bold step towards Marcus. "Do you have any problem with her being my daughter?"

"No not at all, She looked whom Kalus is after"

" Actually Marcus, can we talk privately"? Jennifer asked.

They both took 20 steps away from where the rest were waiting.

"About that question, she is the one whom Kalus is after and believe me Kalus is afraid she might rise up and face him, that is why He has ordered all little girl be killed"

"I understand you totally but why are you going to the North Pole because the road is dangerous ahead and you are lucky we were not werewolves."

"We were going to meet someone who can teach Alice how to master her beast because she is a hybrid."

"A Hybrid?" Marcus asked with his eyes wide open. 

"Yes Marcus she is. She was born of a great witch and a mighty werewolf whom Klaus killed in Bromley where we came from."

"North Pole is like 4 nights from where you are standing and it's very far, who do you intend to get there all by yourselves?".

"You don't worry, we will find our route". Jennifer replied.

Alice asked one of the hunters, why are you choosing to be a hunter? she said

Well little girl, we choose to be so you can be safe and the rest of the villagers can be safe too. I know she replied.

 

What about your parents asked the hunter?

That is my Aunt and my parents were both killed by werewolves. Gaius was surprised on hearing what Alice told them.

Gaius asked her a question " Are you coming from Bromley where Kalus now rules?"

"Yes" Alice responded 

Immediately the hunters drew out their swords and pointed it at Alice, Marcus had to rush down to where they are and stopped them immediately before any harm was done. 

"Put down your swords" Marcus commanded

The hunters obeyed and responded, Marcus she is the one Kalus have been looking for.

"I know Marcus replied angrily"

Jennifer rushed to the scene and protected Alice and she Shouted

"What is this?" Do you want to harm the little girl Jennifer asked angrily while facing them with steamy eyes.
