Claudine slumped against the cold, gray wall of her prison cell, her eyes fixed on the cold concrete floor, it's been a week and two days since I've been here in this shithole and there's no glimpse of hope, perhaps my sister's wish will come true and I'll rot in here, Claudine said playing with her feet.Don't say that, as long as I'm here you'll be fine and there's hope ok, Denzel said hoping it'll cheer her up.A hint of smile appeared on her face. She looked up at him and said I've been meaning to ask you, How did you get here? What's your storyIt's a really long one, Kris said trying to avoid the topic Then make it short, Claudine said with her face looking eager to hear his storyWell I was the son of the alpha of my pack the Bluemoon pack, I had a best friend Jace he was the son of my father's beta my life was going perfectly until seven years ago on one faithful day *****************Kris paced back and forth in the alpha's mansion, his father Gideon watching him with a concerned expression. "What's wrong, son?" Gideon asked, his voice deep and commanding.Kris sighed, running a hand through his dark hair. "I don't know, Dad. I just have this feeling that something bad is going to happen."Gideon frowned, his brow furrowing. "Whenever you have this feeling something bad usually happens but we'll overcome it, we've faced many challenges before, Kris. We will face this one together, whatever it may be."Just then, Gideon's ears perked up, his senses heightened as he detected a disturbance outside. He exchanged a curious glance with his son, Chris. Without a word, they rose from their seats, their movements fluid and synchronized.Outside they met a group of crowds led by the beta of the pack Dorian. What's going on here, Gideon said in a commanding and powerful voice demanding an explanation for the commotion he was looking at.Well for those who don't know what's happening I will tell you, our alpha here has made a pact with the humans, selling the innocent people of our pack to them for their stupid experiment, Dorian said with a confident look on his face.My father would never do that, how dare you slander my father's name , Kris said with anger written all over his face.What proof do you have, Gideon said in a calm and firm toneWell I have proof, how can you explain the disappearance of fifteen werewolves in one week, as Dorian finished his statement the people began to whisper wondering if the accusations were really true, Dorian smiled as he saw the reaction of the people then he continued, I also have witnesses. Just then some group of people came out from the crowd proclaiming that Dorian's words were trueThe elders of the pack then stepped in and said, well we the elders will deliberate on the matter and make a decision by night fall. With that the crowd began to disperse, Gideon went back to the mansion while Kris went to his secret cave which he usually went to with his friend JaceChris sat in the dimly lit cave, his mind reeling from the events that had transpired. He couldn't fathom why his father's closest friend would betray him so callously. The sound of voices outside broke the silence, and Chris's instincts told him to be cautious. He emerged from the cave, his senses on high alert, and was met with a group of his pack members. They claimed to have been searching for him, their eyes filled with a mix of concern and accusation."Chris, we've been looking all over for you," one of them said, their voice laced with suspicion. "Your father's dead"Chris's heart sank, the weight of their words crushing him. He didn't believe them and them to show him the bodyHe followed them silently while thinking about the possibilities of it being true, soon they reach the mansion and he saw he's father's dead bodyFather, no no no no you can die no like this not now, just wake up please, goddess of the moon please wake him up I'll do anything you want me to just don't let him die, Kris said looking at the moon and tears rushing out of his eyes.Without allowing him to process his grief Dorian and accused him of killing his fatherDon't be fooled by his tears he killed his father Dorian said looking at Kris in the eye"I didn't do it," Chris protested, his voice shaky and trembling, I love my father more than anything in this world, I didn't do itLies, Dorian said, my son told me that Kris told him of his plans to overthrow his father and kill him and the dagger used in killing the late alpha was found in his room under his bedNo no it's not true, Kris said with a disappointed look on his face to see that most people believed Dorian despite the good his dad has done for them. His eyes slowly shifted to Jace and he saw him laughing then he knew that who he thought was a friend was indeed an enemy he felt betrayed.I suggest we take him to Bayford prison Jace said with an evil smirk on his faceYes, that's right, that serves him right could be heard in the crowd With that I was taken out of the Bluemoon territory and I was brought here, Kris said looking at the ground, then he raised his head to look at Claudine and saw her at the brink of tears looking at him with a pitiful eye.It's okay, it's all in the past I just name to focus on getting out of here, Kris said.And you will, she repliedThey both sat down in the comfort of each other's company it was really nice to have someone to talk to.
