You must be mistaken, I would never do something like that!!" she shouted.
Despite their dislike for humans the elders themselves didn't want to believe that Lora would harm her own father, the man who took care of her for 18 years. But all evidence pointed to her.
First evidence. The fact that they were both alone at the same spot where wayne was poison.
The second evidence. Wayne was poison after being stab by a weapon that was probably coated with the said poison. And after explaining the wound, the shape of the blade that was use. It match the blade of the dagger that was given to Lora for her birthday.
And there is the third and most important evidence pointing to Lora being the culprit. Asking someone to bring forth the thing. The elders now holding him her wrinkles crusty hands. The book Lora have found in that underground. It seem that after capturing Lora, they search through her belongings for inspection and so happen to discover the book.
Lora is surprise that they have it, but even more surprise when they claim that the book is a forbidden book that was felt behind by the humans after the war 20 years ago. The only thought that came to Lora minds is the fact that the elders actually knows about the book. But only did they know about the book on the ship inside the underground cave. There seem to be a magic barrier put to detect any intruders.
The elders went on to say that,
" This book contain information about the poison used on the chief. So the fact that the book is in your prosession days after we received a report about the book disappearing, then getting the news about your father incident after being alone at the place as him where his body was found poisoned. It all points to you. "
Something like this can not be a concidence. Lora is still indignent about all this accusations, having no say in this matter to prove her innocent without any proof.
She got beaten relentlessly with the thorn cover whip across her back. Ruthlessly she got drag outside and lead through the crowd of the angry villagers who after hearing about their belove village chief.
Words of,
" I knew you human was plotting something."
" How could you, after everything the chief have done for you and you do this to him."
" Ungrateful. We should have just kill you the day you arrived on our island."
The villagers continue to throw their harsh at the young and miserable looking Lora. Still confuse on what is going on. Even when receiving a blow from a stone thrown by a young boy. Lora couldn't think for herself anymore. She just knew that a day like this would come. She just didn't expect it to be like this.
Taken to a cell as the criminal that poison the village's chief, Lora without any food, water, any sunlight, just the empty, cold and lonely cage, she is force to await her punishment the following day. Still, not everyone from the village who heard the news is against Lora.
Protesting her voice loud and clear, Rivera standing up to the elders ordered take Lora away. Demand an explanation for her friend sudden arrest.
Not getting anything from them other from the same story given about her crimes of poisoning the chief. Rivera head toward the chief's house hoping to get her answer. The house is heavily guarded by members of the Silver lotus pack. They have lockdown the entire area of the house to prevent anyone from getting inside. Luckily she found Luka in the backyard and quietly call him over. The boy with his red teary face tells Rivera all about the situation but there is one silver lining to this as Luka reveal that his father is still alive.
But because of the poison, the chief fell into a deep coma. But the doctors said that if we don't find a cure for him in time.
" He will die," the young Luka sobbing his eyes out.
This notion terrified the young boy so much that he doesn't know what to do. Of course he doesn't believe that is own sister Lora could have done something like this. Rivera doesn't believe it either. Rivera thinks that this is a set up and someone is trying to frame Lora. If they don't figure out something soon, Lora could be killed by order of the law.
The elder sitting together now discussing another matter.
" Now that the leader of the Silver lotus pack have fallen in a coma. The great hunt is tomorrow," said one elder.
Another elder replied. " Of course there is the second in command, the omega Sir Kong to fill the role."
" But he needs to go through the ceremony right away to become the new alpha. Which we will have to commence with it later on in that night and then announce it as well."
The elders continue with their discussion explaining that they will make Kong the new alpha of the Silver lotus pack.
It is a suddenly change. Explaiming all of this to Kong himself who is standing it the same room with the elders during the discussion.
He promise the elders that he will bring home the victory on behalf of the now comatose previous leader, sir wayne, his closest friend.Just then Ottar the alpha of the black moon pack, suddenly interrupted the elders with a proposal discussing Lora's sentence. Carrying a heavy atmosphere with him, his aura scream superior making it hard for the elders to go against the boys action. Just why does someone like him have should an aura.
Later that night, Luka and Rivera sneak into the holding cell to find Lora. Knocking on the window on the outside Lora is alerted by their presence. Getting up to greet them. They explain everything to Lora about father
condition which relief Lora fears for a bit.
Uncertain of why did heard anything from her mother about the incident. Luka explain to his sister that mother is still grieffing over father condition, this makes Lora feeling extremely uneasy. Making Lora fear that her own mother is someone who also believe that Lora is the one who poisoned father. She question herself if she is even going to have a place to stay anymore.Just then someone sneaks up behind Luka and Rivera outside, fearing that they just got caught by one of the guards. They also screams their lungs out. Luckily it was Ottar who came up to them and he manage to cover both Luka and Rivera mouths before their screams alerted the nearby guards.
" That was a close called," Ottar sighing with relief.
Shock that he is here, they all question Ottar about his presence. Ottar in secret is here to talk about Lora's sentencing. The act of harming a high rank figure in a village, even if there are blood related. Are sentence to death by the village law.
His words and who how seriously he phase them make Rivera and Luka worry of the worst. But before they could voice their opinion, Ottar then tells them about a saving grace that can get Lora out of this mess.
" Really."
" Please tell us."
Luka and Rivera practically begs the dark skin boy who seem to be enjoying staying silent to build up the mystery for his next words.
" Despite the evidences, there are still many possibilities about the poisoning of the village chief. Which after consideration the elders came up with a solution for Lora to try and prove her innocent."
Listening carefully to what Ottar have to say.
" Well to honest, I don't know if call it a saving grace, but," Ottar then explain to them carefully that the elders agree to let Lora be taken into the forbidden zone. This confuse Lora and the others. Lora's thoughts are led astray on what the elders are thinking.
There is no solid evidence that Lora is actually the one who poisoned her father. Killing Lora before finding the truth is a dishonest to the code of a wolf to kill without real reasons. By sending Lora to the Forbidden zone, they want to see if someone like Lora who go so far to participate in a dangerous trial for someone she tries to kill.
But this a really weak reason which someone as smart as Rivera event figure out what the elders real intention are for doing this.
" This could be their way for sentencing Lora to death because the Forbidden zone is a very dangerous place. A ordinary human like Lora could not survive even if she is with the pack," Rivera explain angrily.
