Daniel's POV
I was waiting patiently in the hallway waiting for Reuben to pass through on his way to the meeting room. My mind cast back to the videos I had seen on that laptop when we invaded the Gray Werewolves headquarters back in New Jersey. They were experimenting on my people,
"How did I not know about this?"
"How many Sorcerers have died while undergoing this crazy experiment?"
"I need to speak to some of our elders about this"
"Or do the elders already know about this insane act?"
"Then why are they keeping quiet?"
"Why haven't we waged war against the Gray Werewolves",
"We should be storming every single one of their headquarters around the world and burning it down".
"I know we can't take them on our own",
"But, for sure we would have help from the Arctic Werewolves who wouldn't want their Werewolf counterparts to become invincible and take over the world".
"I need to come up with a plan to stop the killing of my people, because if I don't". "One day it could be me or Mary or our unborn child tied up on that table being used for a senseless and demonic operation",
"Either way I was making my first step against their wicked plans tonight".
"We will be eliminating Reuben, their first successful experiment".
"I wish I could kill him myself but Damian already has this one covered".
I was briskly snapped out of my thoughts as I sensed Reuben's emerging footsteps as he made his way up the stairs and turned into the passageway, he was being accompanied by some people. I quickly centered my mind on Reuben's scent, I had established a connection with him from the torn red shirt Damian had given to me days ago at my house. I could feel my strength weakening as I was carrying out two spells at the same time. I was cloaking mine and Damian's scent to smell like Gray Werewolves, else we would have been sniffed out a long time ago.
I focused my mind and delved more energy into making Reuben feel pressed, he was in sight now. With each step he took , I pressed harder, but he continued walking to the meeting room like nothing was wrong.
I pressed harder but he was almost at the meeting room, if he enters the meeting room, it's over for Damian. I gave one last push with everything I had, and then he budged.
He finally bent over and askes the female usher who had been accompanying him to the meeting room for the directions of the restroom. I watched him dash into the restroom, he was much stronger than I had expected. Damian would have to finish the job quickly.
I made my way out of the hallway and began descending down the stairs, I was headed towards the parking lot where Damian said we should meet up, he had to be fast in eliminating Reuben, because this place was crawling with experienced and strong Gray Werewolves, it was getting harder to mask our original scent from them. I was almost out, as I reached the last flight of stairs,
I heard someone call my name "Daniel".
That voice didn't sound like Damian's and even if it was,
Why would he shout my name out loud when we were trying to escape out of this building unnoticed?
"Daniel" the voice called again, I knew it wasn't Damian's voice, but for some reason the voice sounded very familiar, I still didn't look back, I continued making my way down the stairs.
"Dani" the voice called out for the last time, this time my curiosity got the better of me and I looked back.
And to my suprise, it was Elder Samuel, he was my mentor, my teacher, he taught me everything I know about sorcery.
I was shocked and equally stunned to see him here.
My mind froze for a minute. I couldn't assimilate what was going on at the moment.
"Come with me", he said as he motioned me to climb up the stairs to meet him.
"Elder", what are you doing here? I finally mustered up the courage to ask him.
The same thing that you are, he said to me as he turned towards me and motioned me to enter into a room at the corner,
I entered the room at the right corner which was empty, and locked the door behind us. I was still a bit skeptical about all this, what was Elder Samuel doing inside the Gray Werewolf headquarters?
What did he mean by the same thing as me?
I was immediately snapped out of my thoughts by his loud baritone voice,
" Dani boy, how have you been?"
"Where has my best student been all these years?" he asked me .
"Not far away, Elder", I replied
"What did you mean by you were here for the same reason as me Sir", I asked in confusion as I checked the time in my watch.
Seven minutes had passed already since I made Reuben enter the restroom, Damian should have finished the job by now. I need to get out of here as quickly as possible.
"Daniel, I'm sure you know they are using our people for experiments", he said to me as he brought out his phone from his back pocket and began playing the video for me.
"I've seen it before", I quickly interrupted and turned my face away from the video.
"That's' why I'm here" , Elder Samuel said
"And I'm guessing that's why you're here too", he asked
"Yes it is", I nodded my head at him.
"We heard from reliable sources that their first ever successful experiment was going to be here in their meeting room today".
"We plan to take him out", Elder Samuel said to me with worry written all over his face.
I knew I could trust him, he was a father to me, he took care of me while growing up and he was the main reason I was so good at sorcery.
"Don't worry, Elder, I've already taken care of that", I told him.
"How, Dani?"
"Is the boy dead?" He asked as he put his hands on my shoulders.
"Yes he is", I replied
"But we need to get out of here now". I added
"Okay, lets go", Elder Samuel replied
I turned around to leave, I know Damian must have been worried about me.
I opened the door to leave but I couldn't, the door was open but I couldn't step out.
Someone had done a locking spell,
I turned back to look at Elder Samuel and before I could completely turn my head back, he struck me on my head.
I became dizzy immediately and dropped down on the floor, my eyes were beginning to close,
"What are you doing?" I managed to ask him weakly.
"You won't understand my boy", he said as he struck me on the head again.
I was knocked out.
