Chapter twenty-seven
...inside the house—corridor...
While the clan packed and prepared their young families for the departure, Master Wong and Neesa were whispery discussing about the enemy that were fast approaching. "What do you mean; you're staying back while sending the others to the Amazon forest?" He stammeredly hissed.
"Karai has sent another team, for their dead and will discover this location. I can't risk it, father."
"If you stay, I'm staying."
"No father, please—go with the others. I will follow as soon as it is done, I promise."
"You better come back to us, alive—daughter."
"You know I will, father. Plus there is a favor to ask of a friend."
The old man gazed his daughter, unsurely and replied. "Friend? Who is this friend? You are not requesting the Jones's?"
"No, someone that owes me favor when I helped her along time ago."
Softly sighed, lowered and closed his eyes then raised his lips, kissed her forehead then said whispery. "Be careful daughter."
"Always am, father. Go and prepare, it will be time soon."
"It will be time soon for what, Talutah?" Chayton asked, as he stood at the staircase railing. "Where have you been, Chayton?" Neesa lowly husked.
"Around, outside for some fresh air." He answered. "Out? fresh air?" Neesa repeated. "Yes, out. Is there trouble?"
Raised a brow abruptly then replied lowly. "You can say that." As she slowly walked towards him then slightly circled him, tried to sense what could be hidden then she caught a spark of light that hadn't been noticed before. "Why you circling me like a vulture?" chayton hissed, irritably. "Nothing. Have you seen Tealana while you were out?" she replied, softly.
"No, sorry." He answered, apologetically. "Alright, go pack. Be ready in five."
"Yes, odakota." chayton answered, bowing. Watching the young Indian boy walk away and prepare as he was requested, unsure to what she had sensed in the boy but also discovered something—different, 'bout him. What could it be?
Softly exhaled, turned and took one step down the stair when she blacked out and saw what will happen if didn't hurry.
...Vision—outside the house...
Screams—blades clashed. Flesh mutilated—blood split everywhere, covered the evergreen grass and over the property's veranda front. Hastily ran to the door, fearful for her family.
Barging out the screen door, stopped on the veranda—looking down to each clan member, mutilated and scattered. Tears filled her eyes, uncontrollable body trembles and breathless gasps.
Tremblingly stepped towards the bodies of her two daughters and husband, dropping to her knees—tremblingly grasped their bloody bodies, breathed in as a stream of angry, hurtful tears ran down her cheeks, fastly leaned her head back then exaltedly breathed, releasing a roaring like cry.
Standing behind her, a smugly evil chuckle—echoed in her ears. Tears still streamed down her cheeks as she turned, faced the four disguised murderers—covered in her clan's blood. Quickly and gently placed the bodies down then lunged for the leader's throat.
Digging her claws, do deep then tearing his jugular out before tearing out his heart. Teeth pierced her lower lips, faced the second as he was going to swing his battle axe down over her shoulder but missed as she moved faster than he in participated.
"Where the hell is she?"
"Keep your eyes peeled."
"Aaagggh!" blood splattered, bones crushed and flesh tore.
"She just ghosted one of us and we didn't see her."
"Get yourself together, soldier."
Breathing heavily, hands trembled—sweat dropped. Both kept their backs towards the beast that landed behind them, breathing huskily. "Should we turn?"
"On three."
"One—two—three."
They turned and faced the gigantic angry, blood covered red werewolf. Their red eyes widen with fear as they were never trained to be afraid. (always a first time for everything and everyone, hee. Hee.)
As they attacked, both were whacked so hard—they went flying across the grass then landing upon their backs. The wolf leaped and landed upon one, driving her huge paw into his chest—crushing him into the ground, blood escaped his lips and covered his face as he gave his last breathe before closing his eyes.
The last of them, tried to crawl away as he was overpowered and unable to walk as his pelvis was shattered from the landing. The wolf followed, slowly stalked him then grabbed his ankle—pulling him back then turned him over upon his back, lowered towards his face.
Breathed heavily with the stench of blood on her breathe. Baring her sharp monstrous teeth, he didn't scream even though he showed fear, reaching down behind his waist—taking out a knife but was overpowered as the wolf bit his hand off then fastly went for his throat, tearing out all—making him choke on his blood. Standing up, raising her head back then released a terrifying, heartbroken howl.
...end of vision...
Neesa was horrified to what she had seen and it terrified her deeply. Breathing heavily and worriedly, instead of going downstairs—she ran back to the room and hurried her family to move.
"Lei, we must move quickly."
"Why? What is going on? Neesa!"
Neesa ignored her husband's question and continued packing then quickly picked up Akila then grasped Masuki's hand when she gently woke her. The blue clad terrapin stopped her and demanded for an answer. "Neesa what is going on?"
"They're coming. We must leave now."
"Who is coming?"
"The foot elite. They're just outside of Southbridge. Hurry, we must go."
Leo said nothing further, hurriedly picked Masuki up in his arms and grabbed the bag then rushed out the door. "Hey Leo what's the rush?" Mona asked, curiously as she cradled Loki in her arm. "There is not much time to explain, we must hurry. Where's Donny?" Leo answered
"Down in his lab, I guess. What the hell is going on?" Mona demanded, abruptly. "Just get outside in five and explain later." Neesa replied. "Tell us now, girly." Raph hissed.
"Raph, you know how I hate you calling me that. Just get outside now and I'll explain later. Please, for once do as I ask." Neesa pleaded, at the red clad terrapin. "Alright—Ok." Raph replied, abruptly.
Rushing outside, quickly counted heads then realised to be missing members. "Where are the others? Chayton—Mikey—Tealana—Father!"
"We're here." Both chayton and Master Wong answered. "Where's mikey?" Elissia wondered, worriedly. "I'm coming." He answered, rushing out the door with the twins bolting out before him as he cradled the youngest. "What 'bout Ora, duke, shadow, Enzo and Kara?" Yoshiro cried.
"They will be fine, don't worry." Neesa assured. "I promise."
"Tealana! Where have you be—"
"Oh no."
"Ora!" Alexis cried. "What the hell happened?" Neesa demanded lowly. "I don't know, I found her like this." Tealana tearfully sobbed. "That is not possible—could it?" Don said, worriedly. "We don't have time to dread, I'll send ya'll down and I'll meet ya, momentarily." Neesa told her family, handing young Akila to her father.
"No, why you're staying? Don't do this." Leo cried. "Lei, please go with the children. I'll be fine, I promise." Neesa pleaded, stepping back. "No, come with us. Please." Leo pleaded. "I'll be right behind you." Neesa replied, quickly kissed the blue clad terrapin then kissed her fingers and blew a white light, growing in a circular bubble—finally disappeared.
Turned around, exhaled tearfully and kissed her fingers once more then placed upon Ora's body—stepped back as her body lit on fire. "Rest in peace, merry meet again in heaven."
Zahra nudged her large head against Neesa's thigh and she turned, faced the lioness—scratched behind her ear and lowly said to her large cat. "Hungry?"
The lioness, lowly mewed. Neesa smiled, saying just above whisper. "Let's girl, it's dinner time."
