Yamkelwe just came back from the coterie master's meeting, when he entered the room, he smelt an unfamiliar scent. He sniffed again making sure if it was what he thought it was.
Privacy was one of the things he valued so much. Finding that he had been gone for a few hours and he came back only to find that someone was in his room.
Someone rang a doorbell and invited himself in."Nicholas, how many times do I have to tell you not budge in before I tell you to" Yamkelwe said, not even looking at him,but he knew it was him. Nicholas had the tendency of thinking he was friends with him
"I'm sorry, Yamkelwe. So how do you find your gift?" Nicholas asked, feeling pretty proud of himself.
"What?"
"I found Pandora"
"You find what!" Pandora's name alerted Yamkelwe.
Nicholas looked around for Bongeka but he didn't see her.
"She was here," he said, wondering where she could be.
"Nicholas, I don't have time for your silly games. Why did you bring a human in my room?" Yamkelwe hissed
"She is not just a human, she is Pandora"
"get out of my sight"
"but-"
"I said out!" Yamkelwe's roar was enough for Nicholas to sprint out the room.
Yamkelwe just shook his head in disbelief, did Nicholas really think he could catch Pandora on his own?A doorbell rang again...
"Come in!" Yamkelwe says in annoyance as far as he is concerned, everyone knows that his room is off limits but today they decided to bother him.
"Master, my apologies for disturbance. The werewolf's messenger is here. He says Seth request a meeting with you"
"Tell him the request is declined, our truce doesn't mean friendship. Him and his kind are my enemies" Yamkelwe said, and the man nodded before heading out.He had bigger problems he should be solving than attending useless meetings.
Whatever that was killing vampires was strong and intelligent and definitely not werewolves.~~~
"Brother, the vampire's master refused to meet with us" Seth hissed in anger
"That blood sucker is still arrogant" Marco said enraged, he never agreed to the shame of a truce the vampires had with werewolves. But he had no choice since Seth is the one who is calling shots.
The two supernaturals decided to stay out of each other's ways, they marked their territories and the rule was that no one should disturb anyone's peace.
Marco saw Bongeka's situation as an opportunity to start a war again, seeing the vampire species extinct wouldn't be a bad idea."We need to get the truth out of her while she is still weak"
"Yeah right" Seth marched to her and found her sleeping on the floor looking drained.
"You bitch!" he kicked her on her stomach several times cursing at her.
"You sleep here and pretend to be innocent while you are busy killing my kind!"In a second, Bongeka was off chains and in the air, hanging by her throat in the grip of the demonic man who looked as though he'd like nothing more than to have her head pop off her shoulders. She grabbed his hands, kicking her feet viciously.
"brother! Drop her!" Marco shouted, he waved his hand signaling Seth to come to him
Suddenly Seth dropped her on the ground as if she was the sack of potatoes.
Seth chained Bongeka again before heading to Marco.
They whispered something before they both went out.Bongeka regretted escaping from the first hostage, maybe they were going to treat her better. They didn't chain her, she was sleeping on a comfortable bed,they never beat her. After all they are the ones who took her from her parents. If she didn't escape she wouldn't have found herself in hell with demons.
After a few minutes, two people Came and unchained her. One of them picked her bridal style trying not to hurt her. They took to a more comfortable room. A girl came and fixed her a bath.
"I know you're in pain but may you please stand up so I can get you clothes" The lady said unwinding tape measure. After she jotted down measurements she left the room so that Bongeka could bath.
When she headed back to 'her' bedroom. A maxi dress was laid nearly on the bed.
She wore the dress and it was exactly her size. She shook her head thinking about the sudden change of treatment.The door opened and a lady came with a serving trolley with lots of food she doesn't even know. She wanted to say no to food but honestly she famished.
Just after the kitchen lady left. Marco came sending shudders to Bongeka.
"Pandora" he called out with a smile
"I - my name is... Bongeka not Pandora, I don't know who Pandora is and I'm not evil, I have a good heart, I never killed anyone in my life and I serve God. Children of God don't kill people,and... And I didn't mean to trespass. I was just running away from my arranged husband that my father... I mean my step father sold me to, and -"
"shhh" Marco said putting his index finger on her mouth, that's when Bongeka realized that she was rambling.
"I have a proposal" Marco said kneeling before her
"Let me turn you, you will be one us, you will be protected, no one will ever touch you. Even the vampires" he said
"Hmm please elaborate sir" she said in a whisper.
Marco chuckled " Marco sounds better"
"Yes sir-Marco"
"That's better. Yamkelwe sent Nicholas to your father to pretend as he wants to marry you whilst he just wants to kill you"
"But my husband is Nicholas not Yamkelwe" Bongeka said, it was not the first time hearing the Yamkelwe name.
"I guess the truth was hidden from you. Your father sold you off to Yamkelwe. Those selfish blood suckers want to use you, they don't care about you. All they want is your powers"Bongeka didn't understand a thing. She never believed in vampires but judging from the movies and books, vampires are said to be powerful. Why would they need an ordinary girl who has no supernatural speed or senses.
"I can protect you from them. Just let me turn you" Marco pleaded
"Turn me into what?"
Marco smiled again, if it was under normal circumstances. Bongeka would be blushing because of his charming smile"Marco's entire body started to mould itself into a werewolf form, he became a lot taller and broader than a human and somewhat slouched. His bones began to snap, lengthen, and pop through the skin and back into place.
Bongeka was too shocked and scared to scream, she just froze. Seconds later, Marco was in his human form again. His clothes were still in shape.
"You are-"
"Yes, so what do you think? Just imagine yourself having a sharp sight, smell. The speed of lightning" Marco convinced
Bongeka found nothing fascinating about being a werewolf, they look horrible. She was sure if one didn't bath probably, it became smelly
"What do you want in return for protecting me?" she asked
"Nothing darling, nothing at all" he said with a smirk
"Well thank you for the offer but I don't need any protection. All I want is my boring ordinary life in a human world" Bongeka said, Marco looked enraged but her rage was quickly covered by a smirk."You have no life there, your awakening is coming soon, when it comes you won't be able to live with humans. You will become dangerous for them, you will become evil and animalistic. What do you think the government will do to you? I'm sure the labrats will turn you into their specimen for years. When you prove to be useless they will kill you in protection of the human kind. You know why? Because you are an animal. You possessed the spirit of Pandora" he threatened
"Just in case you want to know who she is, she is that girl who was given a jar by Zeus as a gift. But was instructed not to open it. Because of her stupid curiosity she disobeyed and opened the jar. And released all the evils. This world is evil because of Pandora, humans are killing and raping each other because of Pandora, the vampires and werewolves are always fighting because of Pandora, the vampire kind are in the edge of extinction because Pandora has been slaughtering them for decades if not centuries. Do you know who Pandora is? Pandora is you!" he continued. With that he took a stand and walked out.
Bongeka was left with so many questions, she is only 18 years old but Marco just told her that she has been killing vampires for decades if not centuries.
"A jar?" she said to herself, all the events of how she ended here came back, she remembered trying to open a jar. She remembered hearing a voice warning her not to open it, she disobeyed the voice thinking it was paranoia.
