Happy Independence Day to my Ghanaian crew. Happy 61 Y'all!!!

Sorry for the long silence guys. Swamped with work so not getting enough time to write. To minimize the disappointment, I suggest we expect updates every other week instead of every week. That should give me enough time to work on chapters. Thanks.

Apologies for the errors. I promise to edit and repost later.

Enjoy!

Two weeks after the mysterious death of Blaze, five warlocks sat in the middle of the huge compound of a farmhouse which was now their own...though not legally, strategizing.

"I know what I'm talking about." Mary said quietly to the other four warlocks. "That Jeremy individual is something else. Those freaks of nature that the werewolves have are not to be fooled with. We need to take our time and plan."

"That's true." Mario, one of the two male warlocks nodded.

"My dear husband...rest his soul, told me about how Jeremy turned about thirty warlocks to ash with just a snap of his finger. We need to know how to proceed if we don't want to end up with the same fate."

"That little shit." One female warlock spat. "So he thinks he's back with his people huh?"

"Watch it, Sally." Mary snapped. "From what I saw from that criminal's mind, Troy was angry at the wolves. He thought they were murderers."

"Yeah, but for how long?" Sally muttered. "I'm sure his mother and brother have told him how wicked we are and all that. He probably wants our heads on spikes decorating their stupid pack house."

"Well, we did kidnap him." Mary sighed. "But he became mine. And I'll be damned if I'll allow those mangy wolves to claim him." She rasped, looking at the others challengingly.

"We must not lose focus, Mary." Sally said heatedly. "We all lost loved ones and need to avenge them. This is not a rescue mission. That stupid wolf is not..." She words ended in a nasty gurgling sound in her throat.

"Mary, stop it." The third woman screamed as the two men rushed to Sally's side. "We're only five for goodness sake. We need each other..." She shook Mary.

Mary let out a deep breath, instantly releasing Sally from whatever hold she had on her. The warlock wheezed as she drew in a much-needed breath and spat out blood.

"Don't ever talk about my boy like that." Mary said quietly.

Mary Carol Hart came from a very large family. She was the thirteenth child of her parents. She had loved her parents and seventeen siblings to bits. And until the age of thirteen, she'd thought they loved her too. She got to know how her parents...especially, her father really felt about her in the most unfortunate way. She always shuddered whenever she thought about that fateful day.

Mary and some of her siblings had gone to the riverside to wash one fine morning. There were other children washing and playing at the riverside. Of course, as could happen whenever children gathered, a quarrel broke out between one of Mary's brothers, Troy, and another kid who was a known bully. The two fought. The other kid, who was much bigger and stronger than Mary's brother, soon got the upper hand and pushed Troy onto his back. He locked him down with a knee to his throat, grabbed a big rock, raised it up, and then started to bring it down with the intention of hitting Mary's brother on the head. Everyone, but Mary screamed. Out of all her siblings, she loved Troy the most. So seeing him about to be hurt and possibly killed by that bully, caused a myriad of emotions to fill Mary. She felt fear, anger, and an emotion that she couldn't fathom. She was later to know it as evil energy. Mary could feel something within her. Something that pushed her to act. And act, she did. She just didn't know how she acted. She only got to know what she'd done after the horrible incident.
