Chapter 6: Aftermath
It was raining heavily on Silver Ground Street when a Chevrolet Equinox with a diverged ray of light drove through speedily splashing water on a parked vehicle, coming to a stop in front of a duplex, Mrs. Gomez stepped out with an umbrella which she spread out speedily.
"It's so heavy" She exclaimed and moved quickly for the building.
The door pushed open with ease and she walked in.
"Hey, baby I'm home".
There was no response making her drop the umbrella and climbed up the stairs to the upper floor.
She stopped by a door and made to open it but it did already.
Elena peeped out and smiled seeing her face.
"Hey, Mom"
"Hey, Did I wake you?"
"Nope, you're late"
"Yeah, stuffs to handle at work"
"I saw your father's vehicle outside"
"He's back"
"Oh, I see, are you alright?, you got that dull look"
"I'm fine, just stress of the day".
"Do you need drugs?"
"You know I hate drugs, Mom".
"Yep, Goodnight then"
"Bye" Elena smiled and shut the door behind her.
She bolt the door and frowned immediately.
Elena moved straight to the bed and dived on it but groaned feeling pains all over her body.
There was a flashback in her head, one she could see Sarah kicking her furiously while she begged her to stop.
..
..
..
There was a great thunderstorm on Green Land street as darkness covered the surface of the earth, the rain was falling heavily with no intentions to stop yet.
A Mansion was situated at the extreme end of the street and even without a fence structure there was no building close.
A Lamborghini drove into the street speedily and drift out of the road into the plain, heading straight for the mansion.
It some came to halt in front of the building and the doors slide open letting out a man who fell out.
He staggered to his feet but fell back to the ground.
"Fvck!" Cursing under his breath, he got his feet again and moved toward the building.
"Open up!"
The mighty door before him opened wide revealing men and women who armed with sophisticated weapons.
"Boss" One of them called out and moved toward him immediately.
"Stay out of my way, all of you" He roared and they dispersed into different rooms immediately.
"Boss are you alright?"
"You heard me Badoo, fvck off!".
He limped into one of the enclosed rooms and shut the door behind him.
"Damn!, those bitch" He yelled and and slammed on of the chairs against the wall.
"Father, are you back?" A feminine voice came from behind the door.
"Um, I need some rest Daughter, I'll see you tomorrow"
"Sure, Elvis, are you men still out there?, you came alone "
"Goodnight Kid!"
He ran his fingers through his head and bit his lower lip.
"Pathetic kids, I won't spare you next time" He promised and a phone on the cabinet buzzed.
That was Elvis, the heir of The Grimes, a family who have been hunting supernatural creatures for decades, werewolves in particular, at the moment it was his responsibility to take the legacy of his ancestors with the help of his father who was very much alive and aiding in the cause as well.
He moved to the device and stared at the name of the caller which was visible on the screen, 'Garrick'.
"Hello Father" He began.
"Son, your voice sound cold, is the job done?" A voice could be heard from the phone.
"That little b*tch lead us to a death trap, I'm gonna fvcking kill her"
"Hey, Elvis, she's been loyal to us for months, if anything went wrong, the fault is on you"
"What!, how can you value that psycho over me?"
"She's the reason we've tamed wolves for month now, you can't neglect the fact that wolves are scared of returning to Stardom because they know full well that we'll find them within 24 hours"
"We got their location Elvis, two wolves were a problem for you?, after all the years of training, I let you go hunting without my assistance and you messed up"
"Don't even think of rolling the blame to me, Father, I've killed those freaks without your help before"
"Fine, they escaped from your grip, didn't they?"
"No Father, I escaped from their grip, they killed our men, eleven of them".
"Eleven wolves?, I thought she said two"
"No father, understand me, eleven men of ours got killed by two wolves"
"What?, and you're proud to say it?"
"I'm not, Father"
"You're a failure son"
"Stop it Father, they were no ordinary wolves, It's The Nicholas"
"What?"
"They were Wolves from the Nicholas Pack, Father"
"I thought we sent them into extinction?"
"Some escaped, remember"
"They were only scared followers, we killed the Alpha and his wife plus many more, betas of the Nicholas are weak creatures"
"But the Nicholas themselves ain't, you can't argue that they're powerful"
"We killed the Nicholas Family, Son?, if there are wolves from the Nicholas pack out there, they're weak because there's no Alpha, there were two Alphas and we killed them son, do you think they survived?".
"I personally burnt their body Father, they didn't, there's a Nicholas Alpha out there"
"I don't understand you, son"
"The two wolves, one is an Alpha and guess what, she got the Alpha eyes of the Nicholas, I saw the intensity and the structure of it, she's not an Alpha from another pack"
"You're making things up son, accept your defeat"
"I'm not, I don't know how, seems there were three Alphas"
"C'mon son, we've been trying to take down the Nicholas for years now and we know about their Alphas, two, the alpha of the pack and his wife who's an alpha wolf too, whoever you saw isn't from the Nicholas line"
"I've seen the eyes of a Nicholas wolf countless times father, I know what I saw, Alphas got red eyes, yes but we both know there are differences just like there are different packs"
"I'm trying hard to believe you son"
"She's dangerous father, bullets couldn't stop her from killing"
"Silver?"
"You know we're reserving silver bullets father, we got few, I didn't know the wolf was from the Nicholas else I would have taken some"
"We ain't gonna waste them on two little wolves, son"
"Fine cos every other weapon is useless, my men and I didn't even equip ourselves well, we thought it was a normal wolf hunting as usual"
"I'll be coming back"
"What?, I thought you needed to be in Mexico"
"If this a Nicholas as you said, I'll be returning with more muscles"
"You mean men?"
"You know we got the best hunters here in Mexico, the last time our ancestors saw the Nicholas Pack as weak and didn't bother to send them into extinction, we mustn't make same mistake, especially now that they're no more, kill the seedling before it grows into a monster tree with hundreds of branches "
" Exactly, Father, I'll be expecting you "
" Just don't go for hunting until I return and don't do anything stupid "
" Damn!, I had plans for that little witch who caused the death of my men "
" Do nothing until I return son, she's fragile "
" But she knew full well that the wolves were Nicholas"
"Don't touch the asset till I return son except you have intentions to test my wrath"
"I'll wait then, Father"
He hung the call and slammed the phone angrily on the wall.
"Fvck!"

Ten O's in my net worth, yeah (Huh)
Neck work, then the leg work (Work)
We're the stars like the network (Work, Montana)
You see the writing on the wall
Hold onto me and I'ma hold ya
You see the writing on the wall
I'll bring it back, bring it back, yeah
French Montana's 'Writing On The Wall' rang loudly the Xiaomi Redmi 10 device that laid on the glass table in Elena's room.
It was a new day again and there she was, under the shower with eyes shutting while feeling the warmth of the water on the skin.
She occasionally winced as the water seem to be hitting the red visible bruises on her back.
With each successive wince she could see Sarah kicking her over and over again.
Elena opened her eyes quickly and exit the bathroom immediately.
Got a lil' mama in my telephone, she jumpin' out the barrio (Ayy)
Hoes all in my section, I don't want 'em
Kick them bitches out like vamanos (Ayy, ayy, ayy)
We can work it out, lil' mama
All we need is just a little cardio (Ayy...
She picked the device and paused the music before proceeding to her wardrobe.
In five minutes, she was done dressing into a red jacket and black leather pant.
Walking down the stairs with her bag behind, she could hear the voice of her mother from the kitchen.
"Mom"
She almost bumped into Mrs. Gomez who who walked out.
"Sorry, you look beautiful today"
"I've been ugly?"
"No, Of course not, just that you got a bright face"
"Mmm hmm"
"C'mon don't give me that look, Elena"
"Is Dad up?"
"There was an urgency at work so he had to go"
"Wow!, what's it this time?"
"As usual".
"Dead body?"
"Bodies, Elena, this one is a massacre, C'mon your breakfast is ready"
"I'll pass"
"Not again"
"I'm fine, Mom, I'll get something at the school cafeteria"
"Are you sure?"
"I'm just gonna get a cab and off I go"
"Um.. I think I'll drop you off and return to prepare for work"
"Don't bother Mom, you're gonna be late too, I'll just get a cab"
"Oh my dear" She exclaimed and kissed her forehead.
"You should really consider getting me a car, Mom"
"Umm Umm, don't begin that talk again"
"Alright then, bye, bye".
Mrs. Gomez smiled as she watched her open the door and exit the building.
"Where was I again?" She mumbled.
..
..
..
Detective Gomez's Ferrari Dino 246 GTS had came to halt in the wood where many uniformed men could moving around.
An Ambulance had just arrived as well with its siren blaring loudly.
He squat over the yellow crime scene barricade and saw Lieutenant Duke discussing with a woman in a white lab coat.
"Excuse me" He heard the lieutenant say and moved toward him.
"Detective Gomez"
"I came as fast as I could, couldn't believe what I heard over the phone"
"Come see for yourself, detective ".
He followed after the lieutenant who moved to the cliff ahead and looked down.
Detective Gomez halt beside him and looked down to see the bloody scene below.
Dead bodies littered around with detached body parts, ripped throats, to mention but a few.
He could see the forensic team moving around the bodies while taking shots with their cameras.
"Holy crap!" He cursed.
..
..
..
Elena could be seen humming loudly as she walked down the hallway of the school with her bag behind.
She tilt her head to see the students who drift away on seeing her.
"Weakling!" She heard a scream and turned to see to see a brunette running away.
It wasn't new, when you get picked by Sarah, you become useless and no one gets to respect you anyone, everyone now had to avoid her knowing full well that they could become marked too.
She was absent minded until she bumped into a student and turned to see him.
"Watch your steps, frog eyes" He cursed and walked away.
That was the popular name Sarah gave because she had a rare kind of eyes, the hazel type and Elena's seem to be unique as looked pretty bright within like there was an
illumination, Sarah was probably jealous.
She exhaled and turned to see the door at the end of the east hallway which had a customized sign 'Principal's Office'
Elena had no idea why she did and made to walk away but paused when the door pull open.
A teen girl in a bomber jacket and blue jeans stepped out and their eyes met.
From a distance, Elena could clearly see her cinnamon blonde hair that matched with the colour of her jacket.
For no exact reason, she felt cold chill travel down her spine and the girl seem not to take her gaze off her.
Elena turned immediately and walked briskly but bumped into the broad chest of Jackson who was waiting for her.
"Hello, frog eyes"
She inhaled heavily and took few steps back.
"I don't want trouble Jacket, stay away from me"
"Did you just call me...."
"No, I'm sorry, I meant Johnson, I don't want troubles"
"Hmm, who told you I'm here for trouble, did you mark me as a villian?" He asked moving toward her.
"Please let me go" She begged with shaky tears in her pretty eyes.
"How was yesterday's punishment?,
Did you get a good night rest?, I guess not, I'm sorry Sarah, I won't do that again" He chuckled loudly.
"You're an idiot, all of you!" Elena burst out in pains.
She didn't want to but it escaped her lips already.
"You little b*tch!" He cursed and moved his hand swiftly to slap her across the face.
Elena covered her face quickly sobbing gently but to her shock nothing hit her.
Opening her eyes she had a blur vision due to the tears but could see two images in front of her eyes.
She cleaned them quickly and could see someone holding the wrist of Johnson.
She gasped seeing her rescue, Elena could recognize her cinnamon hair and knew who it was.
He groaned trying to break from her grip but she seem to be stronger than him.
He tried to hit her with his other hand but she caught it as well.
Johnson screamed in pain as she pushed him down slowly.
The students who were at the hallway watched the scene in silence.
She pushed him forward and he stumbled over the hallway chair to the ground.
Elena gasped in fear and watched him stagger to his feet.
"You must be new here, ask about us or I won't spare you next time, fvck you!" He cursed and left quickly.
"Who's sparing who?" Elena could hear the gentle voice of the girl.
"Are you alright?" She asked turning to Elena who gasped on seeing her amazing set of ocean blue eyes.
She nodded slowly and looked down but the girl looked down to see her face.
"Your heart is racing pretty fast, are you scared?"
Elena raised her head wondering how she knew.
"I'm a new student, just finished my registration today and can attend classes now"
"Oh, I um, noticed you're new, you might want to stay from me, they'll mark you if you don't"
Elena turned to leave but she held her back.
"I don't know what you're talking about, I would love to know you?"
"I'm Elena Gomez"
"Wow!, daughter of the detective"
"You know my father?"
"Who doesn't know the popular Detective Gomez?, I must compliment, you're pretty, I love your eyes"
Elena gasped trying to hold the tears in her eyes.
"You do?"
"Mmm hmm"
She raised her head and smiled gazing at Elena's face.
"I'm Silvia Nicholas"
