Chapter 74
Iris walked me back to Sharma's door,I was still scared but I knew that I had to do this.If I managed to kill the king and If Iris kept her promise then that meant we could be free without me having to spy on the King at all.It was better this way besides I would be doing everyone a favor,this was a necessary evil. Iris looked at me "Good luck", she knocked on the door twice before walking away.
The door opened slowly and I swallowed hard before walking in. 'Be brave,be brave,be brave.' I kept telling myself this in my head. These couple of days had taught me to be brave,in this world you were either brave or weak.Only the brave survive and the weak always die -its never a beautiful death. The cabin was small and there were candles in every corner .It smelt like herbs and wood just like a forest.I looked around,there were animal skins made into mats,there were also flowers and a lot of jars filled with herbs on one shelf.
"Come and kneel before me ." Sharma said ,she was standing in a circle in the middle of the room.It looked like the circle was created using salt.There were exactly four white candles outside the circle.
I followed her instructions and knelt before her. She took my hand and slit it using a white dagger I didn't even notice she was holding...I winced in pain.This cutting me thing was becoming a boring habit.I tried to ignore the pain as she squeezed my blood in a golden goblet as she said out some weird words that sounded like a spell "Blood red ,a moment it fades,bring back the path of those that fade ,a past awakens .Show us the the way,a truth once hidden,awakens today".As soon as she finished those words her eyes turned white and so did everything else.It's as if my soul was taken to a whole different dimension.
Everything was white except for one red door,I walked towards it and opened it. That's when I saw him 'Alexander'. I was in his world now ,the only difference was in this world he looked different and he was a soldier. He was sitting on a chair talking and laughing with a few men-soldiers as well.They looked so happy and content with everything, I walked closer to them but they couldn't see me it's as if I was a ghost.
"Alex this is it,once we win this war we will finally get to go home and you finally get to see that beautiful green eyed kitten of yours" one of the bald guys said patting Alex shoulder.I moved closer, Alex looked so much younger in his uniform.His black hair was so much shorter and brushed back-it literally looked like silk and his face was not so tense.
Alex laughed and I widened my eyes ,this was the first time I have ever seen him laugh or smile genuinely. "Come on Ray do you think Iris would ever actually want to see me again after I stole her first kiss before running off to war"
"of course, you should have seen the dreamy look she gave you as you walked into the ship.Am I wrong Tommy!" Ray said winking at a drunken boy with curly blond hair and grey eyes.
He was swaying in his seat,evidence of his drunken state."Totally ,the lady was smitten I tell You"he slurred and Alex shook his head.
"Whatever you say mate.Hopefully we survive so I can actually marry her,I have already talked to her mother" Alex said with a grin in his British accent.
Ray Laughed "That's my boy!"
Alex smiled "I am sure you can't wait to see your son and daughter as well. Shay is probably dying to see you"
"I am already losing my mind just thing about fucking her senseless, probably we will be having three or four more boys running around the yard" Ray said as his eyes glowed with so much excitement.
Tommy suddenly groaned "I did not need to hear that"
An older man suddenly walked into the tent and cleared his throat to gain their attention,he was about in his late fifty's "Get ready we are about to march to the front line"
The boys quickly stood up "Yes sir!"
The older man walked out but he looked weird ,there was something bothering him but the boys didn't notice they just packed their bags and walked out.I followed them out the tent,suddenly we were in a desert,there was sand everywhere and there were many soldiers marching to a war.My gaze spotted the older man ,he looked angry and he was shouting at someone on a radio. He was standing alone by a truck hiding as if he didn't want anyone to hear him, I turned my gaze to the boys trying to decide if I should follow them or if I should find out what the old man was up to.I decided to pick the latter,there was something fishy going on.
"I am bringing you a whole army of men right on your doorstep O'zaak ,thank me don't patronize me!"he said in frustration.I walked towards him until I was standing next to him.
He banged his head on his truck as O'zaak replied him.I checked on the date on a telegram report in his hand and gasped. It was October 5 1963,my heart rate suddenly increased...how was this possible. Alexander hardly looked a day older than 29 and O'zaak,what the hell was he doing in 1963 unless he wasn't human either or maybe this was a different O'zaak but my head told me otherwise.
"Listen here commander,you owe more than just delivering guinea pigs on my door step.Bring them to me and get your payment.It is that simple,we will discuss the rest once you get here."O'zaak said over the radio
The commander rubbed his hand over his face "Fine,how will I explain anything to them once they find out there is no war"
I gasped again,what did he mean there was no war...I literally stood in front of him as If that would give me more information. O'zaak chuckled "Leave the rest to me and get them here"
"Oh my god" I whispered to myself,somebody had to warn them.Before I could run towards them I was suddenly pulled back again and everything turned grey.We were in a science lab and in front of me Alex was tied down on a small metal table.He was covered in so much blood and cuts,his right eye was swollen and purple.My body was frozen and I couldn't even move,I turned my head to my right when I heard a loud painful scream.
"Please stop! Why the fuck are you doing this to us!"Ray screamed as O'zaak cut his chest open and I almost threw up.He was crazy.
I looked around turning my head since it was the only thing that seemed to be functioning.The room was full of soldiers strapped onto tables unconscious. "Your blood carries a strong gene and with that gene we can win the real war."
"what the fuck are you talking about?"Alex said in a raspy voice coughing out blood.
O'zaak rolled his eyes when suddenly Ray stopped breathing "It seems like your friend here couldn't make it"
'no' I thought out loud,he was killing them all.
"You might just be the first of your kind,your blood is responding well to the new gene. Your mother was an animal,did you know that Alexander...hmmm probably you are just finding out now.Anyways that is why you and all of these other soldiers are here." O'zaak continued talking while cleaning up a small blade with a white wet cloth. I could smell the disinfectant on it.
Alex had tears streaming down his face,he looked scared to death and I just wanted to tell him that everything was going to be okay even though I knew that was a lie O'zaak looked like a mad man,he had definitely lost his mind. "You are crazy!Let us go...you are fucking crazy! Don't talk about my mother,you don't know my mother you freak!"
"Oh I know your mother alright,she was a beautiful creature.She is the reason why I found out about you and all the other lycan bloods.Less talking Alexander and more working" he sang as he cut open his chest and I cried out covering my mouth.Alex screamed so loud I had to look away,when I looked away everything changed once again.
I was in a dark room,I looked forward and there was a cage. Slowly I walked towards the cage and there was a naked Alex laying on the ground. His muscular body was covered in black ink,beautiful tattoos of the moon and the stars.He was also covered in blood and his eyes were lifeless as he stared up at the ceiling.His hair was a bit longer and his beard had grown a lot longer.
O'zaak and the commander walked in. "Have you made up your mind?" O'zaak asked Alex with a sadistic grin.
"Why would I agree to anything you say ,you killed my mother and you killed my friends for a stupid war that you are not going to win because I am not going to fight for your kind.You all deserve to die and rot in hell" Alex said in a dark tone that even had me swallowing down my fear,they had broken him. He was no longer the Alex that smiled, laughed or cried in pain.He was now the empty Alex,the broken Alex,the Alex who had nothing to lose.
The commander sighed with a smile "Son,you were made for this.You were born for war and now you will fight for the Americans ,the President has ordered it and you will do it or we will have to kill your Iris."
Alex suddenly got up so fast it was inhuman,he tried to break the chains connecting him to a wall but they burnt his wrist. "Don't threaten her life!I will kill you!"he said in anger and his eyes turned black with grey veins appearing all over his face.
"Then fight in this trench war,win for America.We built you for this Alexander...she will live as long as you comply " the commander said with a smile.He had sent Alex and all those men to be slaughtered and experimented on like rats just so they could win a war!
Suddenly I was pulled back with so much force I lost my breath.I opened my eyes and coughed out loud on my knees.I looked up at Sharma who was staring at me waiting for me to talk and I did "Why did you show me all that,I thought you wanted me to kill him..."
