The shepherds

chapter 1

The day seemed to be not like other days.The thatched house was now buried in the dark.All the people gathered around the thatched house to wait for the new born.The weather began to change,wind started to brew in an angrier mood,then the clouds suddenly darkened,generating lightning thunder and heavy downpour.

Inside the thatched house,a thracian woman who was laid on a mat.Her husband stood next to her and he was encouraging her that she can do it, while a midwife was assisting the woman to give birth.After a short while the woman gave birth to a baby boy and the midwife told her that she had given birth to a baby boy....the mother to the baby looked at her husband who was already wiping his tears of joy.."let me hold him"he said while looking at the midwife who was already handing the baby to him.He looked at it for some seconds and then he looked at his wife and asked her what name would she want the new born to be named.Before she could answer the door was banged open,two dark muscular men in short sleeves,knee length wollen tunic entered.

Both of them entered and had swords which were draining blood due to the rain which had already diluted the sticker blood.The one who was on the left had scars on his face.He looked at the two women and then he shifted his eyes to the man who was holding his baby and said in a dramatic voice ..."I think your end has eventually come".the postpartum mother tried to plead to the men so that they can spare the little one but the one of the dark men told her that werewolves are not creatures to be spared.

The father,Erick looked at the little one and handed it to it's mother.Then he set his eyes to midwife who was now shivering ready to meet his end and he said in an void voice"before you kill them you must go through me"His wife tried to say something but Erick had began to shift.His teeth grew sharper,more hair started growing and covered his body then his nails became like claws and his facial features including the nose, eyes and mouth became larger,now the dark men were looking at the monster in front of him.The talkative guy looked at his friend Elijah and he told him in a serious voice..."this one is mine"but Elijah only nodded to him for confirmation.

Without hesitation the monster speared him through the door leaving Elijah inside the house.Elijah looked at the midwife and he raised his sword and pierced her through his heart..she fell down and Elijah removed the sword from her body.Then he stared at the baby and it's mother..."what is it's name"he asked quitely."It's Jonathan"she answered sobbing" but spare him"she pleaded to Elijah."I think you are aware that shepherds hunt werewolves,how can you convince me to spare a werewolf?"....."Because it's just a baby and he is innocent"before she could continue..the Shepherd who had scars on his face threw his sword towards the mother which stabbed her through her neck and she let go off the baby but Elijah took the baby...

His friend looked at him suspiciously and asked him what plans did he have for the baby but Elijah looked at him and told him that he was going to spare the little one."No that's abomination to the shepherds,I won't allow it!"Elijah looked at his collegue and told him"the child is innocent"....he stared at the baby and said"I can save him from becoming a monster"...."how... that's impossible"his collegue Simon answered in a curious voice."I will make him one of us and by doing that.."his werewolf side will become dormant" Simon intervened in a serious facial expression."I hope you support me on this because this will be our secret... don't ask where am gonna hide the baby...those are my plans."

"But where are you going to hide the baby, you know he is unworthy to the kingdom, hmm I know where you are going to take him...to your Lovely witch
