Chapter 12
The bounty
Clarissa
It’s been a week since humans realised that a werewolf was in the their territory, and I’m getting to drop my fears, one morning as I was sweeping, I heard an announcement that the government has placed a bounty of ten thousand united states dollar for anyone who catches the werewolf or have vital news about her, this development has made me scared of the human territory but I can’t go back to the pack, the people are beginning to look for the werewolf in Ernest, and it will just be for a little while before my cover is blown.

Doctor Elijah had gone to Jason to tell him about the plan to continue the research/ experiment and Jason had call the mayor to get his consent, they are offering ten thousand USD, everyone is on the lookout for the werewolf, the police have also mounted check points in every junction in our city and I’m scared that in no less time that the may discover Clarissa, and she can’t be a prisoner in my house, through out my stay at work I kept thinking about the best thing to do, after work, I went home but Clarissa wasn’t at home, I asked my wife about her but she don’t seem to have any information about her way about, I suspected that she knew about the price tag on her head, “so where could she possibly be?” I asked myself, I know that her life isn’t save anywhere she is now, so I left to look for her on my way I saw a vampire feasting on a human blood, over a century ago the vampires were known for feeding on human blood, until when the human government made a deal with the witches to protect the human, and in exchange the human government offered to pay them with the supplies of Californium, (californium is used by the witches for magic but can only be found in the human territory, it’s a precious element to the human and a powerful tool to the mermaids and the witches), this deal continued till the vampire resorted to feeding on animal blood, humans called off the deal peacefully with the witches, but ever since then there have never been any reports of the vampire feasting on human blood that was until this night, I came down from the car, “hello” I said to the vampire and he stopped, he turned to me, “your heart beats like a human but you smell like a wolf” he said, “you must be a half breed” he added, I told him that the vampires have long not been in the human land, “so why are you here” I asked, he said “half breed go home, or you will meet your demise” I shut him up and asked him to go home, I have not seen a vampire before but I know about them, and I do know that they and the werewolf are the strongest (in strength) among the supernatural, and I have not fought a supernatural before, so I was actually scared, I sprang out my claws and my eye colour changed, he charged towards me and we started fighting, he was stronger, so he beat me up, and when he was about to leave I rushed him forcefully and inserted my claws into his head, he died and vanished, the victim on the ground was turning into a vampire so I killed him for the greater good, I entered my car and return home to dress my injuries, so it doesn’t get infected by disease, reaching nova was surprise seeing me in that condition, she asked me what had happened and I didn’t know the perfect lie to tell her, I just told her that I was rubbed but it was obvious that she didn’t believe it, she asked if I found Clarissa and I said no, she helped me dressed my injuries.
Clarissa
I had left the house of Jericho so I don’t bring trouble to the house of Jericho, and I don’t now what my fate will be, I was just walking down the road in the evening time, then I saw a police check point ahead, and the had some gadget that they were using to check heart beat I knew that they were looking for me, I turned back and mistakenly bump into a police patrol vehicle, carrying about three police officers, “sorry ma, what made you turn?” a police officer that is arm to his tooth asked as they stop their patrol vehicle, I was going to get some supplies, but I had a change of mind, “can we check you if you don’t mind?” he asked, I pretended to have a sharp pain in my tommy, but the were not buying into it, he asked another officer to bring the gadget they use to check heart beats, then I knew I have to do something immediately or risk exposing my identity, as I was still thinking about what to do, they readied the gadget, I was still calm as the checked my heart beat, the officer looked at me in the eye, he said “what are you?”, “I’m a woman” I replied, he then shout as he pointed a gun at me, “we have the animal, raise up your hand peacefully or I will shoot you” he said and asked and officer to handcuff me, he also brought out something that looks like a mobile phone but isn’t(radio communicator), he said to the thing “we have seen the wolf, and we are about to apprehend her, we need back up at Yukon koyukuk census area, Alaska”, another police officer came with a handcuff I used him as a distraction and I killed the three police men before things gets out of hand, and I ran away.

After Nova helped me dress my injuries, I slept off and in the morning my injuries had healed, (werewolf actually heal very fast but not as fast as vampires) but since they are covered, I had to keep pretending, so Nova wont suspect that I’m a supernatural, in the morning I had taken my birth when I heard a news caster say through the radio that a werewolf had killed three police officers, I knew it was Clarissa, since there are points every where just to capture her, I couldn’t help but wonder where she is and what she could be doing right now, I ate, drove my children to school and went to work, I decided to eave office early to go and look for her again before going back home.
