Chapter 10
The news
Clarissa
The time of the full moon has pass and in as much as I have so many questions unanswered, but I feel so excited, this usually happens to the werewolf after the full moon, “why are you this happy this morning?” Nova (Jericho’s wife asked), I told her that its nothing and that I’m grateful to God for life, knowing they are Christians, I knew she was going to buy into it, I helped her with the things she needed, I also got the kids ready for school as Jericho drove them to school, I started cleaning up the house, when I was done I went inside to rest, then I heard an news on radio that a werewolf is in the human territory, and anyone who has information about this werewolf should report to the authorities.
Jericho
It was just a regular morning, I had gone to work, and a woman had come to my office to see me because of her health, she had done test and the result was given to her, while counselling her, Doctor Elijah sent for me, after counselling her, I went to see Doc Elijah, “good morning Doctor Elijah” I greeted “good morning Doctor Jericho” he responded, then he offered me as sit, he asked if I heard the news earlier, and I said no, “A were wolf is on our land” he said, I was surprised, I aske him how he knew, he said that It was on the news, he told me that some locals had heard the howling of a werewolf at the location of the warehouse, when the checked the saw a werewolf transform, but not one of them was able to get a closer look, so the identity of this were wolf is yet to be identify, Doctor Elijah then told me that he had a plan, “what plan if I may ask?” I asked, he said that his father was doing a research on the super naturals, Elijah’s father was a well renowned pharmacal researcher, who has contributed so much the pharmacal industry, his researches aid in producing more than 20 drugs we use in treatment, I asked him what the research was all about, he said that the research started when the father discovered that the supernatural doesn’t contact HIV/ADIS, so he started experimenting on the supernatural, the first started with a Mermaid, (the mermaids are the most peaceful super naturals, people don’t talk about them much, because unlike other super naturals the mermaids are the most peaceful, the live in the deepest and most secret part of the ocean, the always hide from humans and other super naturals, so the pose no traits to the humans, although Christians see them as evil and children of the marine spirit, the mermaid have magical powers, but the barely use it for fight even in the face of death), so I was angry when I heard that the started it with a peaceful specie that is powerful but harmless, I asked him why the choose the mermaids, he said “isn’t that obvious? Because they are easy to catch, no too much fight, well the blood of a mermaid didn’t work, they tried the blood of a vampire, well it worked but it turned the human subject to a vampire, so the stopped, I think the blood of a werewolf or a witch could do the magic, or don’t you think so?” I told him that its best if we live that and focused on what we do, “do you know the kind of money we will make and how many life we will save if we get this right?” he asked, I tried my possible best to discourage him, but he insisted that we try to catch the werewolf and experiment on her, I knew that Clarissa safety is in danger and I must do all I can to save her, after my conversation with Doctor Elijah, I went back to my office, acting like nothing happened but deep down I was so mad, and perplex, after about one hour, I had to go home and tell Clarissa what is going on.
Clarissa
After we heard the news nova wife said “those animals are now in the human territory” I was surprise because she used the word ‘human Territory’, the word ‘human territory’ won’t be likely used by a human, nevertheless it might just be a coincident, she continued “the government should apprehend those animals and kill them” her words was just making me uncomfortable, I excuse myself and retired to my room, few hours later Jericho came back, he was looking unsettled, then he came to my room, seeing my countenance, he knew that I knew, “you heard the news” he asked, I told him yes, and he asked what I intend doing and I told him I would leave so I wont cause him problem, he told me not to, and promised that he will support me in any means possible, his world comforted me, he told me to dressed up that we are going out, I dressed and he took me out for launch, I have never gone out for such before since I entered the human territory, but going out with him was actually fun, we had reach the restaurant and he placed another and asked me to do same, apart from Nova’s meal I have not eaten any other human food, so I asked the waiter to get me anything that Jericho had ordered, and when our meal was served, we started eating, he asked me what I think about humans, and I told him that they are nice but I don’t feel save in the human territory.
Jericho
When she told me that she have never really feel save, I started thinking of a possible way to make the human land comfortable for her, then a young man, who was acting like he is slightly drunk walked up to us, and told Clarissa that she is beautiful, she pretended not to hear him, the dim witted follow tries touching her and I called on the security to take him out, but before the got there the eye of Clarissa had already changed, her claws had also sprang up and she was ready for a fight, thank God that the security came on time and took the fellow out, after the incident I and Clarissa couldn’t continue with the launch, we entered the car and I drove out, while young I told Clarissa that she needs to control herself especially now that the government wants her and Doctor Elijah wants her as well, she promised that she will, I asked her of her baby she said, that they baby was fine, after few munities we reached home.
