Ezra's POV:
I woke up and found myself in a small sized cadaver room "Ezra I
don't want to die" My brothers called out from the table they were tied
to, they kept crying to me maybe it was the tears in their eyes that blinded
them to see that i was in the same shoe with them "Don't worry we'd get out of this
alive, okay? "
I had said just to comfort them
even though I knew in reality that we were dead lab rats "You shouldn't add wolfsbane to the
portion"
I
called for Luther's attention who was already preparing the syringes "it's
toxicity is bad for human health" I cried out, "it's what kills all
children'' I tried pointing out knowing
fully well that we were going to be
injected anyways , "Then how
else would you be immune to wolfsbane if you survive becoming a werewolf" Luther responded and beat a finger on the
injection to mix the ingredients well,he did the same for two more injections.
Wolfsbane contains several toxic compound but most notably aconitine
which affects mainly the heart and also affect the nervous system .Seeing that
Luther moved close my younger brothers
started struggling to break free from what bound them "Don't worry guys
I'm here"I said trying to make them calm, "You must be the eldest
"Luther laughed "The whole family burden is on you"he added
"A whole lot resting on your tiny shoulders "he said this as he
started rubbing my shoulder from the left to the right "Let me lift them for
you,learn to live for yourself" he continued and at that point I could feel the
touch of his syringe as he injected me "ahhhhhhhhhh!!
you don't have to kill us all'' I shouted in a way that made tears drop
from my eyes as I struggled to escape from his strong grip which created a new
sense of fear within my brothers "Let my brothers go,use only me!" I begged
earnestly even though I was unsure of
our survival out in the cold alone.
I felt the components in the shots had done its work because my once
healthy heart started beating slowly causing me to feel drowsy and my brothers
to persist on breaking free "survive this and save your brothers"i could hear
Luther whisper into my ears seeing that my eyes were already half-shut "Ezra
Ezra!!"i
heard my younger brothers crying out,trying to keep me awake.
Luther used his super speed to inject them in the blink of an eye
"Strange"He had said to himself seeing that nobody could hear him,The younger
boys were having a seizure with lots of foams dropping from their mouth,twitching
their head like they were about to die,"Every child i had tested this on
convulsed"He pondered,Zeph and junior kept on shaking uncontrollably with the
rhythm of their muscles contracting and relaxing repeatedly until their last
breath "Except for this one"He said as he walked up to me as I laid half asleep;"all that mattered is his
temperature is high and his heart is stillbeating"Luther
said knowing now the type of rage I would be in when I'm fully awake ,He rushed
out of the room after doing some necessary things...his formular had always proved abortive until
those 3 orphans came in,Ezra was his first different case.
It was exactly 5 hours since we were
injected,I woke up and stretched,trying to regain my memory "i promise
we'd survive this"i heard in my head "Zeph,Junior"i called out as I quickly
jumped out of the table and walked to theirs,feeling their pulses i could tell
that they were dead "no,no,no,no this can't happen''i said shaking
uncontrollably,I wasn't convulsing it was anxiety kicking in , I looked around
for anything that could help "Ouch!!"i exclaimed holding my head as a strange
memory flashed through my mind,I could feel
werewolves around the shelter;
The glass on the floor caught my attention,I picked it up and stared at
my reflection, "huh"
I
stared in confusion and disbelieve, I
looked stronger and my chin looked more
masculine and then it kicked to me to
check my teeth that was when I realized I have been transformed to a werewolf,immediately I remembered the last words that Luther said ,
I
bit my brothers' neck and both at once
opened their eyes widely like they were in pain,they scratched their body aggressively breaking themselves free from
the chains and letting out screams of pains,for some reasons I was
frightened."They both looked like the baby version of luther''i thought as i
took a step backward For i was not staring at no ordinary werewolf syndrome but
at actual werewolf.Long and Thick fur grew from their face to their tail,I
wondered why i didn't transform to a beast.
"Brother''The two werewolves said but instead of words what came out
were sounds of howl "i need to figure
how to transform you guys back into humans,so we can leave now"i lamented "you
mean like this?"Junior
said like it was as easy as spreading jam on bread and immediately grew back
into his 15 year old body "wow'' I shouted in excitement zeph my meek brother showed amazement as he
tried to transform back to human but all his trials failed "lets just go''i
said as i had lost all my patience ,leading my brothers out of the room.Zeph sniffed into
the air
"They... are…. here"..... "he said
panicking because he was too large of a beast to hide or escape "They?''i
questioned "Yes they!"
voices responded from the floor below "oh oh!"The
boys chorused and struggled their way back into the room "Silver or pure
mercury in every lamp,wolfsbane in every picture"A familiar voice spoke in my
head "What do you want?"zeph
howled as the attackers were pounding on the door,the boys moved close to the
window and without warning I pushed junior out of the window "Ahh!!!!stop!!"He shouted as he fell on his back
"Change back!!"i called out to zeph who was shivering,
"You dead"One of the werewolf responded as
he dashed at zeph,it was prolly the
power of fear that took him back to his 16
year old body and out the window he jumped off ,causing the werewolf to
press me to the wall; I looked into its cold blue eyes as a distraction,as I
stretched my hand on the wall trying to reach the closest picture to me "baammm!!"it
sounded on the werewolf's head, the picture frame had broken causing the dust
to spread and him to vanish ,before the others could get a good look at my face
i jumped through the window and landed safely.
"Heyy guys
follow me!!" I shouted as I hurriedly led my brothers through the snow for some reasons we weren't feeling cold outside,We ran till we could no
longer sense our attackers "You could have killed me"Junior shouted "You are a
werewolf,i knew for a fact that you weren't going to die"I defended myself "A
werewolf?"He
walked up to me and looked straight
into my eyes "A werewolf? ,a
broken neck bone can kill awerewolf...."He
was tempted to add stupid to his sentence but he just couldn't,seeing now that
my brother wouldn't settle for anything other than sorry,I got more angry
because I did what I did for his own survival "If i hadn't pushed you then
you'd have died"i said and before junior could respond-
"hey Stop it!"Zeph
screamed like a baby as he sat on a rock
"okay i'm sorry"I apologized just to let peace reign.
Just as zeph tried to stand up,an envelop fell from his pocket "what is
this?"He
said,bending to pick it,it was an extra size envelope,we opened our mouth
together in astonishment when we saw the content contained in the envelope,
"Money" And "hair?"Zeph said as he brought out some strands of
hair "Luther's hair"I corrected,going ahead to have a closer look at the
strands of hair
"We
just have to follow his scent"Junior broke the silence,Zeph and I gave him a
suspicious look as we already had plans with the money.Fate had finally given
us another chance to live and we weren't going to waste it on any adventure.
"Lets just rest in a motel for today and then continue our journey
in the morning"Zeph suggested "that's a nice idea " I backed him up;
all We wanted was a simple life which the contents of the envelope could
afford. "I think I'm famished, '' the junior said as we headed towards the
motel ...….
