Heathen Series - Changed

Chapter 38

Oblivion Pov...

I strolled side by side with my brother as our wolves - that had grown enormous for ordinary wolves – played ahead of us. It had been a month since the island blew up and everyone grew restless.

Dash had told them of the files he had read which indicated the whereabouts of the students' headmaster and teacher who had learned more information than they needed to know. 

We had flown to go get them and had the privilege of informing them of what had happened the past weeks.

Dr Harper had told his story of how the General had drugged him and Mr. Cheng and dragged their bodies out of their rooms during the night. Trapped them in the prison they were found in.
They had tried many days to escape but failed losing most of their energy in the process.
On the day that they had decided to give up, they were rescued.

Grateful as they were to the Heathens for rescuing them, they still had to get back to their school and resume what was left of their lives and work.
The students protested but reluctantly agreed in the end and started getting their things ready.

"Thank you for all you have done for my students and I. If you do need anything, please do not hesitate to let me know." offered Dr Harper generously.

"Thank you, but my team and I will be alright for now. We will make sure to try and visit you all as much as we can without raising any questions." thanked Bash as politely as he could.

"Well... we do have a few teaching positions that are open and if you need; they are yours."

"I think we might take you up on that offer at a later stage." added Ash soothingly.

"Thank you, again." ended Bash clearly.

"No. Thank you, again."

Bash's Pov...

We shook hands and we watched as the headmaster, teacher and students began to board the jet ready to take off. The door closed, and the twins flew them all to the safety of their school.
A day later the twins arrived back to the island with sadness in their eyes.

"What do we do now?" asked Blade innocently.

"We live.
We must go back to island and make sure nothing inhuman survived.
We can salvage what we can and start anew."

"Can we make a memorial for her?" asked Dash still teary at the loss of someone so close to him again.

I looked down with sadness in his heart and nodded solemnly.

"A memorial for who now?
Who died?!" came a voice from the beach.

We all turned wide eyed.

Raphael smiled and walked slowly towards us.

"Miss me?"

Raphael's Pov...

Dash ran to me and embraced me in a warm hug while the others waited for me to reach them; still a little shocked. I looked at the brothers. I had missed them very much; so, I hugged them in turn and waited to be updated on what I had missed while I was gone.
I looked down at the sand that gathered up by my feet and imagined what would have happened if things had gone worse than it had.

My team sat around me quietly, respecting my silence as I had lost more in one year than anyone else. I looked up to expectant eyes not sure what to say or do.

"We are glad to be alive and that you are alive as well. Things... could have gone better but they could have also been much worse." started Bash carefully picking his words.

It was night-time and the glow of the fire warmed them, offering enough light for us to see each other without having to adjust our eyes. 

"At least now we can finally move on and start anew." continued Ash pulling her husband closer to her.

"I'm not too sure about that..." I corrected slowly.

"What do you mean?" asked Angel quickly.

"The General and his goons survived and are heading to the main city of J-burg.
My home city... This isn't over yet." I informed them irritated with myself for not being able to kill him.

"It has only just begun then. Let's gear up and head for the city before anything else happens." instructed Bash as he stood readying himself for what came next.

"Where do we go?" asked Ghost drawing attention from everyone.

"We go to school. That is where he'll start."
