Jason

"Please don't hurt me" a voice emerges from the entrance of the room, it sounded scared and innocent, it didn't sound like someone who could hurt anyone, it was the voice of a little boy named Jason.

" I am sorry for intruding, but I need your help, I am homeless, I need a place stay, I promise you that I will serve you forever." Jason says with a scared tone, he had no idea that the person seated there was a prisoner, he was to far from him to know that he was tied up,and also, Richard was seated in a dark spot of the room, the only thing you could see were lines created by his body from a dark angle.

Jason is a young boy, he is fourteen years of age,he lived with his uncle who always treated him as a slave. Jason lived in his uncles farm for about six years, ever since his parents were killed by vampires. He walked in his uncle's farm, feeding the pigs, rearing the animals and maltreated every single day.

Jason seems like a human, but unknown to him was his powers, hidden and waiting to be released. Jason is a descendant of Almagadin, who was one of the greatest sorcerers to ever lived in amazon, he was killed for forming an alliance with Amazon's enemies to take over Amazon. Almagadin is Jason's ancestor, he had lived in amazon about two thousand years ago.

Jason had no idea about any of this,he sometimes notices his powers but he takes them as mere coincidence.

"look,I am not Barry, but I can help you, I am his prisoner, but if you help me, I promise to give you a home" Jason says this in happiness, hugging his little opportunity of freedom with all his might . "who are you then?" Jason ask in curiosity, he was contemplating whether to set him free or not.

"I am Lord Richard..." Richard says but is interrupted by Jason " you mean,... king Richard,,... no way" Jason says in surprise " yes, I am king Richard, now I want you to set me free, Amazon needs me , I promise to reward you for your loyalty to the throne." Richard says,but he sees Jason going out of the room in silence, he was confused " Jason!!!" he calls out his name, thinking he was leaving him there ." no use, the little kid thinks I am a phony." he utters in disappointment.

few minutes later, Jason steps into the room with a knife, "what are you going to do with that," Richard says in worries, he was thinking that Jason was one of the locals who wanted his head because of his cruelty. Jason uses the knife to cut off the rope. Richard hives a sigh of relief not only because of his freedom, but also because Jason didn't take his life. " thank you so much boy, now clear the area," he says to Jason who was now standing away from him " why?..." Jason asks " because Barry is a vampire, he could track us down with our saints, and if also live anything behind, he could use them to find us." Jason replies, he burns the chairs and the ropes that imprisoned him and also destroyed the dagger which Jason used to free him, " now let's get out of here, it's almost morning, Barry will soon come visiting".

....................................

In the morning, Barry arrives at his crib,only to find out that Richard was gone, he leaves a half smile on his face and says " I love it when fools run...."

he looks around the house to find objects which he could use to find Richard but he couldn't find any, this makes him furious, his thoughts were flaming with anger, his anger grew wild, he thought that Richard was foolish enough to leave clues for him. " Richard, you can run but you can never hide..." he yells outside the window, and goes back inside, scattering every single thing in fury.

....................................

Richard is seen walking in the forest with Jason, Jason had just finished telling Richard about his uncle and his he usually maltreats him, Richard takes a wild gaze at Jason and asks " before you saved me, how did you get into Barry's crib, because when he left, I am pretty sure he locked all his doors, and how did you even intrude without death" Richard says in confusion, " well, things has been happening to me recently, I think it is puberty, I can teleport unknowingly," he pauses " after I ran out of the farm , I ran all through the forest not knowing where I was heading to, then suddenly I teleported and found myself inside the crib, I wanted to go out but I couldn't because the doors were locked , I tried teleporting again,but I couldn't, that was when I heard your voice." Jason continued. " so you are a sorcerer huh" Richard asked,but Jason didn't understand a word he said but he still nodded his head " I know you don't understand, I am a werewolf, I can read your mind." he pauses " I see great potentials in you, and believe I could bring it out, you are a descendant of a sorcerer

Jason still wonders what Richard was talking . " I know a sorcerer, maybe we could go there tomorrow after our rest, chose a hide out that reveals us to the sun, there Barry won't be able to find us " Richard says while brushing through the bushes with his eyes " but at nightfall,we continue our travel, we have to be careful not to attract Barry,. I know he might be looking for me." Richard says with a worried tone while Jason does as he was asked to do.

....................................

Barry is back in the castle, he assembles all his guard men and gives them information to find Richard and bring him to him alive

" do not leave any stone unturned, find him and make sure you bring him to me alive " Barry says with a tone of fury, normally Barry never shows his emotions, but this time it was written boldly all over his face and the only way he could calm down is if Richard was found.
