Cursed By Fate

It was pure chaos as screams filled the air in minutes. The warriors came across a farmer and his young daughter on their way into the settlement.

They were the lucky ones as their deaths were swift and almost painless. Alfred stood back and watched as his warriors destroyed everything within their sights .

He walked in after the screams had died down.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

As he passed through, some poor souls were still gasping still trying to cling on to life.

He did the only humane thing he could and ended their pain by ripping their hearts out . This was his signature way of killing.

The sands were wet with blood, the atmosphere dense in it’s smell.

“Quickly get the gas and set the houses on fire ” Alfred commanded as he was too appalled by the sight to stay any longer. The warriors did as instructed and in no time the fire could be seen from every hill top in the valley.

“That’s enough, now let’s get the hell out of here before they arrive “he ushered the warriors as they morphed into their full wolf form and ran through the woods.

They made sure to be spotted by some adventurers on their way back. Overall it was a successful mission. But Alfred felt more like a failure than he ever had in his entire life .

Detective Walter was driving back home, when he got the dispatch call and had to turn back. He redirected his vehicle towards the site of the massacre. By the time he arrived, his cigarette fell from his lips as he got out of the car.

There were different teams from the fire fighters, to the emergency rescue unit, a couple of squad police officers and three vans from the coroners office.

The number of victims was totalled at 34. The entire county was on high alert that night as no one could imagine sleeping when the perpetrators of this act were still at large.

After collecting evidence which ranged from taking photos to DNA collection and a few witness statements from the adventurers and passers by , Walter was convinced this was a series of coordinated we’re Wolf attacks. They had finally pushed him to the point of no return and he was going to make them regret it.

As he tried to light a cigarette to help him cope with the smell of bodies, the coroners carried a young girl who was no more than ten years of age into a body bag. Furious as he was , he got back in his vehicle and drove off. He kept grinding his teeth as was furious and almost incorherent.

He drove into an unfinished shopping complex that had been abandoned for years. Surprisingly, was some graffiti on the side of the building from rebellious teenagers who came there occasionally to break away from society but tonight there wasn’t anyone in sight .

He went inside and climbed to the third floor, where he was met by a couple of middle aged men. One was tacky and roughly dressed, a full beard and could easily be mistaken for a homeless man on sight . The other was a huge muscular gentleman who was more presentable and could pass off for a college professor as he was dressed as such .

They we’re the guards to the hunter association. Walter greeted the guards and proceeded inside where he met other hunters around a large wooden table. Deliberating on their course of action.

” The time for words is over, those Shadow moon bastards have just massacred an entire settlement and it was horrific ” Walter said interrupting their discussion with no remorse.

“I believe you know the rules of this decorum . we have a system of doing things” said one of them to Walter.

The leader of this faction sat at the head of the table was silent looking directly at him as he spoke.”our system has been ineffective and these savages have been left to grow bold in our in ability to act . ” Walter said this time in a tone that resonated through out the building.

“Calm down Walter , we share your anger but our association operates with certain discretion so as to maintain the order in the balance of things ” the vice chairman of the association said still trying to pacify Walter to be calm.

But unfortunately Walter was out for blood and he wouldn’t rest until they had decided to do something about it.

“Very well then Walter , what would you have us do?” The chairman finally said in his baritone voice that silenced the entire room. Walter was hesitant to speak at first but he knew his silence would do no good .

” I want us to go back to being what we were, a force to be reckoned with. We’ve grown too attached to this Idea of co existing with these beasts. I want us to exterminate them all, for that is the best decision for the safety of humanity.” Walter replied after a few seconds.

The vice chairman was about to interject again in opposition to what Walter had just suggested but he was stopped by the chairman. “Walter! Before I give my consent to anything we must vote in unison either in favor or against. All in favor of the petition to wage a war against the shadow moon pack wolves, should indicate.”

They were just about to start raising their hand when Walter reminded that Jack and his nephew Lyon died for their cause and betraying their sacrifice would be dishonoring their deaths.

This tipped the scale of things to his favour as Walter succeeded in getting the majority of the faction on the table to vote “Aye”. He almost let out a sigh of relief but the work was yet to be done. “Very well then, Walter we have a unanimous decision, we go to war with the wolves. “
