Chapter 9
It was around 8 pm that day and Harold was pretty excited as he was about to make a call with Amanda. It was something he didn't expected to happen but he was grateful nonetheless that it happened. He prepared his earpieces and then he plugged it into is iPhone and called Amanda.
Amanda: Hello Harold.
Harold: Hi Amanda. Thanks for answering.
Amanda: No worries. I was expecting a call from you anyways since you told me yesterday that you were going to call. I was prepared.
Harold: Same. So, I called you because I thought about what you said to me when you gave me your number the other day and said that you wanted to catch up with what we missed.
Amanda: Sure, we can talk about that. So how was life in Bog?
Harold: It was alright. Camilla took a great care for me to make sure that I wasn't bullied and then Darren and Hilda came along and soon they took care of me like their little brother. I am younger than them anyways even though we were born in the same months.
Amanda: I am glad that you had Camilla to support you. Wish I could have done the same. I actually felt sorry for you but I was afraid of being mocked against if I did. So, I tried not doing anything.
Harold: Oh. Err….
Amanda: I know you are going to tell me off….
Harold: No, I was not going to tell you off. I am shocked you cared. I thought no one else cared other than Frederick.
Amanda: I truly did. I just didn't want to be hurt in the process as well.
Harold: It is alright. I am just happy that you cared.
Amanda: You can say whatever you want to me for not helping you.
Harold: No, I won't. I don't like saying these kinds of things unless it well and truly mattered. I am not someone who likes to hold grudges against anyone. Earlier today Scott apologised for being such an asshole to me. I forgave him instantly
Amanda: He really apologised?
Harold: Yeah, he did. He tried to bully me twice when I came back to Berk but he failed. The mixed martial trainings helped.
Amanda: Wow. You take mixed martial arts? I took Karate a few years ago and I am on my way to get a black belt.
Harold: That is nice to know.
Amanda: Anyway, you said that you, Camilla. Darren and Hilda were born in the same month but you are the youngest.
Harold: Yes, I am the youngest. I was born on the 25th of January 1997 while Camilla was born on the 24th of January 1997. Darren and Hilda were born on the same day on 3rd January 1997.
Amanda: Wow, you have the same birthday as me. I was born on 25th January 1997 too.
Harold: Wow, that's cool. I didn't know that. That's good to know. Maybe we should celebrate our birthdays together next year.
Amanda: Not maybe. Definitely. It will be something that I will definitely look forward to
Harold: That's good to know….
The two continued talking well into the night and after sometime decided to call it a day. They both slept well that day and hoped to look forward to more days like this.
…
Stephen Haddock was tired but he didn't want to rest. The search for the mutant wolves has been going on for many days. Yet, the had no lead what so ever. The animals that lives in the Berk forest has been declining. He suspects that the ten missing wolves must be the cause of the disappearance of the animals. He expected deer living the forest to disappear but things escalated quickly when animals like foxes and jackals started disappearing too. He started to think that the wolves must be cannibals and then he thought about the big red wolf aka The Red Death. He knew the wolf would control minds of other wolves and would tell them to kill these animals. But he just wasn't sure for reasons no one knew why. He felt like doubting himself.
Valarie Haddock wanted to do something. She didn't like the idea of killing and wanted to do something to change the way the wolves were behaving. She knew this because these wolves were not just any wolves. The ten wolves that got missing were actually bought from an old man who saved them. However, they were on the verge of dying and she bought them to a doctor who thought could save them. However, unbeknownst to her, Stephen bought the wolves to the research facility and test them like guinea pigs. This caused the wolves to mutate and all them grew wings. A black wolf in particular broke his wings in the process and was also the strongest and smartest off the wolves. When Valarie heard of the news, she was angry with Stephen and did not talk to him. She still hasn't. She only decided to talk to Stephen when Harold was nearby and she did not want to engage in any other conversation with him. She even started sleeping in another room unbeknownst to Harold. The following day after Harold came back, the wolves' escapade lead to anger her even more. She wanted to befriend the wolves. She in particular liked the wolf with orange back and white bottom. She decided to call it Cloudjumper since he liked jumping a lot. But all she could do now is wait and hope for a miracle to happen so that she could find the wolf and hoped that the large red wolf would not harm Cloudjumper.
