Chapter 11

I heard strange sounds approaching towards me. It was a usual thing in the dark realm. The dead never seemed to mine their own business.

I allowed my claws out and made a pause from moving. This action was to tell where exactly the sound was coming from and to be at alert for an attack.

The earlier sounds which appeared to be a ruckus of bushes had suddenly stopped.

I was convinced now that whatever it was, was coming for me.

Whatever creature it was, its suspense in coming was killing me. How could I not think of this earlier, there is only one spirit that messes with me in this way?

"Garrick!" I yelled his name and at once he popped out to 'boo' me.

"How do you get me all the time?" Garrick made the comment.

I looked at him and scoffed; "perhaps you are not as invisible as you thought you are" I teased him.

"Oh men!" He exclaimed to his defeat and began walking with me.

"So let me guess what you are here for; to reverse the time or to wipe the memories of a member of the pack" Garrick said.

Of course, he was right, I was in the dark realm for the purpose of erasing my council's memories from remembering what Jasmine had called me in front of them. It would only ruin my repetition if they keep it in mind.

I had two major goals for keeping her anyway. One was to get a true love kiss from her in order to be free from a curse. Two was to keep her save, to protect my powers.

I wish she wasn't that important. Now I will just be a babysitter than a king.

"I hope you know what you are doing, though, the last time you came around. You almost died again remember?" Garrick reminded me of my last encounter in the dark realm.

I had tempered with the wrong grave to seek solutions for something. The occupant of that grave was powerful, a soul shifter. She almost took possession of my body, but I was lucky enough to be saved by Garrick.

Spencer may have called me ghost, but I'm mostly alive than dead.

I am a reincarnation of my past self. Coming back was with a curse to died by the next blood unless a thorough loves kiss by mate is performed.

I don't know how I am going to do it, but I have to force a kiss out of Jasmine's lips within a month.

"Are you okay?" Garrick asked me.

It appeared to me that we have taken the wrong route. "What the hell!" I yelled.

"I tried telling you, but you seemed lost in your thoughts" Garrick mentioned.

The route we have taken was a dangerous one. It would have been easy to turn back if the routes weren't changing.

"Damn it!" I yelled and began looking for my way back.

A zombie wolf came out suddenly and began a chase.

It was impossible to kill zombie wolf because they never die.

Garrick and I spent many efforts trying to locate the way as the paths changed fast.

The changing road really helped us to outsmart the zombie wolf.

I noticed something with the changing paths; the fact that it changed its course the same way after two different motions.

With my observation, I was able to tell where next to go.

"Follow me closely" I beckoned to Garrick and began leading the way, with the zombie behind us.

My solution was a right one, made it out. But not with Garrick. I thought he had been following me the whole time.

"Garrick!" I yelled his name, but they were no reply.

Too bad he did not make it with me. I wish I could help, but I do not have much time to spend here. After all, once the dead dies again in the dark realm. He only goes back to the grave, until he is awakened by the living.

I will look for his grave and wake him up, once I am done with my task here.

Moving onwards, I was close to my destination. A place where rare werewolves were found. They are gods and goddesses of the moon.

Their powers unmatchable. The dark world was never meant to inhabit them, but because it was the only place that could trap them, for they seek to take over the world.

I located the very one goddess I associated with.

Elsa is one of the most powerful goddess that could still connect her mind outside the realm.

She had always been of help to me in times when I needed to erase a wolf's memories.

She was seated upon an elevated rock when I approached her dungeon. Likewise, she was obviously not surprised to see me.

"Hello Derrick, long time no see" she commented and then step down from the rock.

"Hello Elsa! I know you have a clue as to why I'm here" I said to her.

"Of course I do, but I won't help you" she replied to me.

"Come on Elsa! We are friends remember?" I tried persuading her to reconsider her decision.

"The last time I remembered, you promised to set me free" she reminded.

"I promise you, I am trying my best, but it's difficult" I disclosed it to her.

"Are you trying to tell me that you can't outsmart Spencer? Or you are just pulling my legs Derrick?".

"Come on Elsa! You know I wouldn't?", "Can we just go on with my demand, I promise to get you out before the month ends" I assured her?

"You better keep to your words Derrick, else it would be the last favor you will ever get from me" she made it clear to me.

My hands were folded like a beggar, "Gracias!" I said to her.

"Whose memory?" She questioned while she closed her eyes.

"My entire councils last minutes memory" I responded boldly.

"I see you are trying to hide something as always, Derrick" she said affirmatively.

Her statement had appeared as a mockery to me and I kept cool about it.

"Just the part where the girl called me her uncle" I specified.

"She's beautiful" Elsa commented on Jasmine's looks. She could see her right to now.

"The job is done Derrick. I just hope you do not forget your promise again?" She stated with a frown that gave the invite she was fed up with my lies.

I left at once as I remembered that I was not supposed to be there at this time.

"Once I find that betrayal, I will kill him." Chris yelled as he drove rashly.

"He did mean it in a good reason though, he left a note" Bruce defended, while he held on tight to his seatbelt.

"Letter? You meant the love letter he left me on the bed?" Chris nagged. "Who said I need savings, by the way? Jasmine's the one who requires saving" Chris bragged further while his increased his rash speed.

"Please slow down else you will get us killed" Bruce pleaded.

Chris did not stop even after Bruce had pleaded with him.

Unfortunately, he did not see a truck before him…
