Chapter Twenty six

She immediately turned to her daughter, who looked pale seeing the bodies.

"Go up Eleanor, time for bed" she switched off the television "Mum! Eleanor called out. "You said I could watch". " I know but this isn't meant for you, change of plan". Jasmine gripped the remote and willed herself to stay calm.

"But mum...". "I'm not negotiating with you Ella, upstairs now! Eleanor stared at her mother for a while before making her way slowly upstairs, Jasmine watched her daughter walk upstairs into her room.

It was her fault, she was the one that had asked her to come downstairs for a while, she shouldn't have snapped at her that way. She was only trying to make out time for her daughter, her work had always kept her busy this day.

She only dressed her for school in the morning and return late in the evening when Eleanor would be so tired and ready for bed.

When she was sure that her daughter was safely inside her room, she switched back on the television and watched as the body was being carried away by ambulance. The news has it that a wild animal had attacked the man when he was out hunting with his son.

Of course, it was a wild animal but not the kind human knows, she recognized the bites and dreadful feast made on the body by this beast. It was just the same it wasn't just a guess but she knew, that whatever had done this go thus man was like Logan.

He hates to think of that name, it sounded dreadful to her but there was only one person that she could take to because if it was his kind that this...she had to keep Eleanor at all cost.

"So what are you saying, Jasmine". "I'm saying that you should at least have seen the news last night I'm sure you would have said the exact thing I'm saying now".

"So if let's say it this monster that this, the question now is why? It had been long since the last devoured news why did it happen again? "Because of their blood tasty demon and now...I think my daughter's life is in danger and I'll do whatever it takes just to keep her safe"

"What if it ends up that you're wrong here? What if you're mistaken that the thing that devoured that man is nothing but a wild beast". " You can't tell me that, you saw the body that was killed by Logan years back at the club right? This is exactly what it looks like"

Serena walked toward her and slowly wrapped her arm around Jasmine, she was afraid, afraid that Logan was back and she hates seeing her that way.

"Just take a deep breath, Jasmine, whatever this is, I think it is very far from getting to Eleanor, theirs is nothing for you to worry about" Jasmine sighed hoping that Serena was right, whatever this was, whatever beast that this that to the man wouldn't come any closer to Eleanor.

"Here" Serena handed her a cup of coffee. "The police would do their investigation and handle everything so theirs no need to worry"

But when Jasmine left Serena's home, she finds herself scrolling through her cellphone looking for more information about this so-called beast and if the police had found had updated them on the investigation done.

An hour later, she found herself at a train station, she was going to make her investigation just to be sure enough.

And in a few minutes, she saw herself walking down a busy street which was more like a market while she tried her best to move out of the way of traders or farmers carrying their sheep or goods and also not to bump into any random strangers.

And as assumed, a lot of them were discussing and telling everyone who had stopped to listen what had happened yesterday. She didn't stop to listen knowing that a lot of people add their part of the story, she needed to hear from the horse's mouth.

Few more walks, she made it down the street that was when she stopped to ask for directions.

Finally, Jasmine found the house that she was looking for and she stood outside watching as a lot of locals trumped in and out of the building, they had all come to give condolences to the woman and her...

She was going to blend in and found out what she want to know, Jasmine, took a deep breath and slowly made her way to the house, blending in with the people around.

The house was old but clean at the same time, she could hear them talking about last night in a sad tone. How the police had promised to look out for them, she made her way up to the fireplace where the woman was seated and grieving in pain.

She saw a lot of people staring at her, of course, she was not from here... this person knew all their neighbors from the heart and they were curious to know who she was while some of them didn't bother posting attention to her.

Because there were so engrossed in their story or listening as one tells the story. "Mrs. Larissa" she called softly giving her one of her best smiles.

"My condolences...

Ramona fumed as she sat on top of her bed, he has bed give clear instructions to train her but rather than obeying, he asked her to hide when the other solution appeared.

She had been tempted to go and prove to Walker that she could also fight the wolves but rather she had stood there and watched the scene.

All she knew at that instance was that they wanted to be strong like Walker, fierce and fearless but how was she going to prove to him that she was ready to learn?
