CHAPTER FORTY NINE
AVRIL
"My son should live, I don't care ho you all the want to do it's or what you think about it, but you can't kill my son, I won't allow that", Chris's mom said, and sniffed once again.
"There is no way we are going to have a werewolf live, as long as he or she has been caught, they must be killed. That has been the rule, why should we make an exemption because the table has turned and it's your son now?" My mom asked.
"It's fine, I know that nothing is say would make sense to you. I hope you will be able to do the same to your kid as well when the table turns, I live Chris's life in your hands, kill him if you wish", Chris's mom said, sniffed twice, wiped her tears and Walker away angrily.
"Does anyone else have any opposition or anything else to say?" My mom asked and every one in the room kept mute. "This meeting has to come to an end, Chris had to die", mom insisted.
"Can I ask for a favour?" Chris's father asked and dad nodded in affirmation.
"Can you give him some time? Give us little time so we can adjust some things, let us spend at least one week with our son before you kill him", Chris's dad pleaded.
"Okay then, we would not kill him immediately. You are free to visit him in his cell for a week, I know it hurts to loose a child, I know also that this situation is very difficult for you and Chris's mom, especially Chris's mom, the pain to loose the same child you carried in your wombs for nine good months, but right now we do not have a choice. And you will have to see him here, we can't risk releasing him, or letting him out of our sight, you know under our lock for a second", mom concluded.
I felt so bad that my own mother could be do heartless, she never considers the feeling of others including her co workers.
"You have to take heart", dad started facing Chris's dad. "I killed my own sister when she was bitten by a werewolf, you killed two families as well, this is the price we have to pay. The sacrifice we have to make for choosing this career, for choosing to save the world, or should I say, to save the world and the humans that occupy it", dad concluded and Chris's dad nodded.
The meeting came to an end and they all left the room, I was already suffocating in my hiding and rushed out of the place with so much tears in my eyes. My hearty was completely chartered, I felt so bad and there was nothing I could do to save Chris.
"Ariel", I heard Jumai's soft voice as I was about to walk into my room, I wasn't sure if I had heard correctly and turned back immediately to see Jumai standing behind me wearing a smile.
"Jumai", I cried as I fell into her arms. She hugged me tightly caressing my back for a few minutes.
"Let's talk in my room", Jumai said and we both walked together to her to, my fingers tightly held in hers.
We got to Jumai's room, she sat on the bed and also helped me sit beside her.
"I will start by apologizing Avril, for the way I treated you the past few months, It was bad enough already that you were bitten by a werewolf, the same creature you hate so much. I may not know exactly how, but I can tell you I have an idea how it feels to become what you hate so much. Yet I had to increase your pain by hating and punishing you? I just had to make you suffer so much more rather than giving you my shoulder to cry on?" I cried so much as Jumai said those words.
Jumai helped me wipe my tears, and placed my head on her chest, she cuddled me lightly rubbing her hands all over my back.
"I heard what happened", she said a d inhaled sharply, Jumai was probably crying as well. She was really soft and my tears moved her so much, one of the reasons I was so hurt when she was mad at me and felt like she would never forgive me.
"I am sorry I and Chris kept this from you, it was never our intention in the first place", I apologized and she nodded.
"We are going to save your boyfriend", Jumai said and I stared at her surprisingly.
"We can't talk mom out of this, she would never agree. Not even Ariel would be able to talk her out of the decision she made at the meeting room today", I replied.
"Oh! Smart kid, you were hiding at the meeting room. I blamed myself the whole time Avril, I really thought something bad had happened to you, I thought you ran away or tried to commit suicide because of Chris and blamed myself for it", Jumai said and I shook my head.
"How do we save him? I don't want anything to happen to him", I said.
"I don't want anything to happen to you either. Avril", Jumai called my name in a low tone and placed my hand on her head.
"Swear on me Avril, swear on my life that you will never reveal your identity to anyone for Chris's sake", she said.
"Chris already made me swear on this, Jumai, there is really no need for this", I said.
"Just swear one more time, please!" Jumai pleased and I had no choice.
"I swear", I said sadly.
"We are going to save your boyfriend, I have a plan", Jumai said and my eyes widened. I sat up and cleared my ear so I would hear properly the plan that Jumai has.
"We will sneak into the cell at night, I will distract the security and get the keys from him. You will have to hide somewhere close, so I will find a way to pass the key to you, while I continue to distract them, you will go over and set Chris free", she said and I wowed at her brilliant idea.
"How long does Chris have?" Jumai asked.
"A week, mom said she would kill him after a week. His dad has asked to spend one week with him, before he gets killed", I said and tears flowed down freely from my cheeks, I couldn't help it.
"Do not cry Avril, our mission will be successful", Jumai assured me and I nodded.
We both stayed together the whole day, chatting about different topics, I tried to take my mind away from Chris, I also tried to console myself a d convince myself as well that our plans will be successful.
When it was evening, Jumai and I walked to the kitchen together, I sat on the Mable while Jumai prepared dinner with the help of the chef, the whole family had dinner together. I wasn't able to talk to Ariel, he was probably made at me that I was speaking to Jumai after how she treated me.
The night I had prayed for finally came, Jumai and I went outside at the middle of the night, the security guards took turns to sleep, it would be easier to distract one security, so we had planned our moves carefully.
Jumai and I were disappointed to see the two security guard at the post talking and laughing heartily. We decided to return to Jumai's room and wait for a while, one of them must feel sleepy no matter how they tried, we wouldn't outsmart the two together so waiting was the only option.
