Chapter 5
Mrs. Lydia then called everyone to sit down after dinner, as it was obvious that this action was intentional. She asked everyone to confess to her who among them did that to Kelly. The room was ghostly quiet, as no one was responding to her. Just as she was about to take the whip to cane them all, Kelly came out and said, "It was Kim and the emerald Mrs. Lydia." What!!! Mrs. Lydia exclaimed "That's not true, ma," the duo said in unison. If they deny it, Ma, please ask them where they were when you were performing a census, and remember that two people were missing after your count. "Yeah, that’s true," Mrs. Lydia said. Please, Kim and Emerald, give me an answer. Where were you both? Ma, we went to use the restroom, and Emerald lied. Oh, so tell me, Emerald, was there chili in the restroom? What?? Emerald asked, not understanding the question. Your hand is covered with chili. Mrs. Lydia pointed at her. Oh my, Emerald said, knowing fully well that she was busted. Ma, I wasn’t alone; Kim brought up the idea. What?!!! Kim exclaimed. That’s a lie. Mrs. Lydia, it was Emerald who brought the idea up as a way to get back at Kelly for picking a fight with me. Well, I don’t care to know how the plan came about or how it was executed; all I can say for now is that you both are under house arrest for your misdeeds. What!!!! They both exclaimed. Yes, no coming out of your room until after 3 months. 3 months!!!?? They screamed Of course, that’s what you get for conspiring against someone. What if the chili had choked him and landed him somewhere else other than in the house? Mrs. Lydia, please have mercy on us; we promise not to do it again. My decision is final. Mrs. Lydia replied. Take them to their rooms and lock them there for the next three months. They are only allowed to come out when it is time for their meal. "No, please, Mrs. Lydia, don’t do this to us," they both pleaded as they were being dragged to their rooms. ——————- Kelly’s P.O.V I feel sorry, but not so sorry for her. Maybe she deserves this punishment; at least he would be free from her troubles for the next three months. He thought to himself. ———————- Kim’s P.O.V Really Emerald?? I thought you were my best friend, and best friends fight and protect each other. But what did you do back there? I’m so sorry, Kim, I panicked. She said You panicked? Really? What you did out there just shows you never had my back. You wanted me to go down with you; that’s why you did all that. I’m sorry, Kim; you are still my friend, please. Friend?? You are not my friend anymore. Our friendship ended when you had to drag my name along with yours back there. She turned her back on Emerald and went to her bed to sleep. Three months went by without the two friends speaking to each other. Kim was still upset at her, and Emerald was tired of pleading. Soon enough, the best duos became so far apart. They only saw each other during meals without speaking with each other. Days turned into weeks, weeks into months, and months into years, but there weren't any improvements in the situation. Although Kim and Kelly still get into fights and the hatred continues between them, ELEVEN YEARS LATER The trio had grown so much. Kim grew to become a very strong and beautiful woman, although she has started experiencing some minor changes in her body. She was not only strong and beautiful, but when she went hunting, she encountered a lion. Instead of being fearful like every other lady, she had so much courage that she scared away the lion. She also has the ability to heal any wound on her body three times as fast as normal. She couldn’t figure out what was causing the sudden powers, but she loved the feeling. Like the other day while she was out with the other girls. They went hunting, and a heavy tree branch fell on one of the girls' legs. Kim was on their other side, hunting for birds, when she heard the other girls screaming. She ran to their aid and met them struggling to remove the branch from their sister’s leg. She joined them, and to her surprise, what they had been struggling to remove, she held with one hand and lifted it up with ease. This amazes the other girls, but they didn’t think much about it as they were concerned with helping their sister first. They helped the victim up and held her while she was leaping until they got home and gave her treatment. This was the beginning of her werewolf story. As for Kelly, he is a very handsome, strong, and muscular man. He had super strength too, but a much more advanced one, as he didn’t even need to come in contact with objects before he lifted them. He also has the ability to heal and give healing to any other species of wolf. His eyes become red whenever he is angry, and he can destroy anything close to him at that moment. He finds it really hard to control his emotions at that point in time. He only gets calm when he goes for a run. He has a special spot by a waterfall where he goes every time to seek peace. Emerald has the ability to read one’s mind, but her ability works strictly for humans and any other animals lower than her kind. On one fateful day, the trios, one after the other, walked up to Mrs. Lydia, who was now an advanced-age woman, to learn the story behind their birth. as they felt that the changes in their lives had something to do with their birth or the history of their parents. Kelly’s P.O.V I can’t understand these sudden changes in my body—the strength, eye colors, and why I heal so much faster than normal. What is the story behind all these? Is I some kind of strange creature? Why do I like this? He kept asking himself. There’s only one person who can grant me the answer that I seek. Mrs. Lydia, he said to himself as he stood up to go and meet her so she could give him answers to all his questions. When he got to Mrs. Lydia’s chamber, he met Kim there already, so he decided to come back later to talk to her, but she insisted that they both stay and ask their questions. I can’t stay with her in a room, Mrs. Lydia. I’m sorry. And who do you think can stay with you for even a second? You both should stop this. Enough of this fighting! "Kelly sits down," she said, giving him a glare. Kelly didn’t want to be rude, so he sat down, about 10 meters away from where Kim was sitting. Ok, now tell me what is bothering you two, Kelly. You go first. What the hell? No, I got here before him, so I think I should go first. Kim, does it really matter who starts and who doesn’t? Mrs. Lydia asked,Well, Mrs. Lydia, when it’s with him, it actually does. "Ok, then Kim, you go first," Mrs. Lydia said. Kelly gave her a glare as she was about to begin. Mrs Lydia I am here to ask you how I was born. Where did you find me? And why am I growing so many hairs on my skin and head? Kim asked? Mrs Lydia "Those are the exact same questions that brought me here, Kelly said. Really?? Mrs. Lydia asked Yes ma. He replied Ok, well, I’d be glad to give you both answers as far as my knowledge can carry. Ok ma, they said in unison as they listened anxiously, waiting for Mrs. Lydia to begin. Just then, Emerald walked in, requesting to speak with Mrs. Lydia. Funny enough, she also had the same question in mind to ask her. The trio sat down, waiting for Mrs. Lydia to begin. They made themselves hot tea as they presumed that the night was going to be a long one.
