Trouble.
CHAPTER FOURTY
CHRIS
I picked up my jacket and set our on a search for Avril, Tyson's house was the first place I went to but she wasn't there. "Avril where are you?" I asked aloud.
"Something in me told me she was fine, something else in me also said she wasn't. I was desperate to find Avril, desperate to find her first before Ariel, desperate to save her from danger and be her hero.
I called Sally to find out of she knew the whereabouts of Avril but she hung up on me at the mention of Avril. I pleaded with Tyson to join me in the search for Avril, I was so desperate to find her.
I didn't want anything to happen to her, I was still struggling with my search for her, checking every hide outs for werewolves and every corner I knew Avril loved, I checked the stores and places she visited but she wasn't anywhere.
I was devastated and heart broken, I wondered why Avril decided to punish me so much. Even though I didn't want to I had to swallow my pride and call Ariel to confirm wether or not he has seen Avril.
Ariel was still mad at me and hung up on my ears.
I was still thinking about the next step to take, perhaps visit the house or Jumai's office, or call her parents when Sam's name popped in my head.
Sam was the only person I haven't asked yet he was one person I should have asked first. Sam knows where Avril is for sure, who knows he may have abducted her, or better still they are having a good time together.
I decided to go over to Sam's place when I heard a she wolf growl loudly, shaking the whole city.
I quickly got into my car, and drove speedily following the female wolf's growl I had heard, it led me straight to Avril's house.
I packed in front of the compound, and rushed into the house without any hesitation, the whole place was opened and deserted, their was no one in the house, I only heard strong footsteps and growls from one of the rooms.
I quickly rushed to the room I was hearing sounds, it was locked from the inside, I placed my ear on the door. I could hear Jumai panting heavily, I could also hear Avril growling.
I started pushing the door forcefully, it was getting violent in there, I could hear them struggling and running around the room, I could sense the fear in Jumai's voice, she was panting heavily and her breath could be heard from afar.
I kicked and pushed the door hard until it fell to the floor, I rushed into the room, Avril was seated on Jumai's stomach whilst tearing her face with her claws, Jumai gasped for air a little bit more before passing out.
Avril didn't let go, she kept on tearing her whole body with her claws, I tried to stop Avril but she was stronger than me. I quickly transformed into a wolf and growled loudly into her ear and she immediately started transforming slowly into a human.
Avril stood lazily for a few seconds, she stared into space for a few seconds, then she shut her eyes and freed herself, slowly she was falling to the floor.
I transformed into a human as well and held Avril in my hand, so she wouldn't fall to the floor.
"Avril what have you done?" I asked slowly but she didn't give any reply as she was unconscious.
I helped her lie in bed beside Jumai, brought my phone out of my pocket and dialed 911.
It wasn't up to 10 minutes before they arrived with an ambulance, that carried Jumai and Avril to the hospital.
I drove my car behind the ambulance and followed them to the hospital, I wanted to call Ariel, but on a second thought, I decided against it. Not after the way he acted at my place, also the way he acted when I tried calling him.
"Doctor, do you think this scars would go of?" I asked the doctor handling Jumai's treatment, thankfully she nodded in affirmation.
"Of course it would, it is a minor scar, it may take long to heal but it would definitely come off", she assured and I sighed.
"Sir", one of the police officer walked into Jumai's ward to call on me. "You have to follow us to the station for questioning as you were the only one at the accident scene", he said and I nodded, then turned around to follow them without any hesitation.
My heart was racing really fast, I didn't know what to tell them when I get to the station. I just followed like a lamb about to be slaughtered.. My biggest fear was for Jumai to wake up and give Avril up.
I knew how much she hates werewolf, I knew for a fact she wouldn't want anyone she sights to breath in air for another second.
It must be really hard for Jumai, I wondered how she was going to cope with the new development, her own sister was now a werewolf.
I was seated in front of the Inspector in charge of Jumai and Avril's case, he was staring at me for minutes without uttering a word, he kept on staring at me as if though, I was a criminal.
"Have you called any member of their family?" He asked and I shook my head. "Why?" He asked but I didn't give any reply. "Did you call your parents yet?" He asked.
"Do not involve my parents in this", I warned.
"Why?" He asked and I went mute once again.
"Who sent the workers away from the house? Why were you three all alone? What happened in their while everyone was away? You are the only one who didn't get hurt why?" He asked my hitting his pen continuously on the table.
I wasn't about to regret going there to save Jumai and Avril, nothing would make me to. The questions he asked I didn't have answers to, the only information I had I wouldn't give no matter what, I would rather go to jail than implicate Jumai.
My only fear was getting my patents involved, they never saw any good in me, they always nagged, they always had something bad to say about me. I didn't want them to get another opportunity to talk me down, scold me and the rest of the shits they do.
I wasn't ready for their headache, I wasn't ready to argue with them. I wanted to be alone, far away from them, I didn't want them to have any reason to blame me for anything. If they should come home it should be for their own sake, it shouldn't be for me.
"Since you are not ready to talk, I will put your parents on the line, maybe when they ask you themselves, you will be able to provide an answer", he said as he brought his phone out of his pocket.
He failed my parents number, I really thought he was joking about it until I heard my mom's voice from the other end.
"Hello. Inspector John, how are you doing? Hope there is no problem", she spoke with so much familiarity in her voice, and my heart was already at the depth of my stomach.
"There is a problem ma, a very big problem", he replied and again my heart jumped in and out of my stomach.
He didn't have to do this at all, I had a plan B and I was waiting patiently for him to take his eyes that has been glued to mine, away from me so I could activate the plan B.
