Chapter 50.
While Hope and Alvin were in search of Sir Elvis, he himself was just waking up from his so called coma.
He raised up his left hand and it seems that he was stiff, ‘ what happened to me ’, he spoke but it seems no one was in the room to answer his questions. He slowly manages to stagger on his feet outside of the house only to encounter two other fellows on his way out of the room.
They were dressed like hunters but were looking like soldiers as they had the Britian logo on their left chest. He noticed and tries running off before one of them went up to him helping him up on his feet as he had fear written all over his face, ‘ good morning, how was your night ’, in a polite tone.
He remains mute and rather keep quiet than to reply them, ‘ we are sorry for the whole inconvenience, we just saw you and decided to help you out after you were brutally attack by a demon, if you wanna go you can go no body here is going to stop you ’, he helps him on his feet.
He scoffs, ‘ thanks for everything but where are you from ’, he asked.
He smiles, ‘ from the upper land, am from the upper land and we are here on the queen's order to hunt down every demon in this society and that is what we are doing ’, he answered.
He gazes around, ‘ where is this place what exactly ’.
‘ it's really far away but if you want us to return you from where we saw you we can as well take the boat at the other side ’, in a deep tone.
He slowly takes to his seat, ‘ that is going to be later as for now I rather just take more rest than to endanger my life for the second time ’.
While Hope and Alvin were approaching a town close to the upper land where Elvis was unknown to them that they have let Scotland to England while on the train ride.
Alvin refused that Hope should follow him but after their long time argument, he agrees and now they both search for Sir Elvis.
“ clinking sounds ”, the train slowly stops with the both of them stepping out from the train and with Hope staring around because this was his first time in a train.
‘ be careful Hope, no body is our friend here, remember our mission is to save Sir Elvis and nothing else ’, Alvin said with the both of them walking out from the train station unknown to them that they were been followed by some taunts.
As they both took a turn Hope noticed their dynamic movement and draws Alvin with him as they both hide themselves from them.
Footsteps could be heard as they walk pass them, ‘ what are you doing, are you alright ’, Alvin complains in an aggressive tone while glimpsing at him with a glare.
He ignores him and watchs out incase of them walking back at them, ‘ we were followed by those guys, take a look ’, he pulls him to the corner. He sights them and relief a sighs, ‘ so let's take care of them ’, he let out a smirk as they both walked out from the corner.
Few minutes later..
Hope was standing still to draw the attention of the guys following them, later they were sighted and the guys went up to Hope and ceased him, ‘ dude what do you think you are doing here, you are not suppose to be here bro, you know this turf belongs to us ’, he said.
‘ what do you mean by your turf, you know am new here right ’, he said.
‘ alright bro, let's go over there let's show you what is popping ’, he points at a corner far ahead.
‘ hey you shit, don't hold me like that, am no one play boy or play toy, just tell me what you be looking for ’, in a bold tone.
They were both surprised and decided to over power him, ‘ hey fuck, get over here ’, he pulls Hope with all his might but Hope escapes it showing off his sword.
‘ stay back ’, he demanded.
He moves back in fear while trying to avoid him from coming closer.
‘ calm down, we are not fighting here we are just having a simple conversation we don't need to kill anyone ’.
Hope drives his knee to his chest sending him packing to the ground with a face first.
‘ fuck, what do you think you are doing, am no threat ’, in a weak tone.
He placed his leg on his back as he was trying to help himself up with the support of his hands, ‘ stay down ‘ he adds more pressure punishing him with pain as he mourns quietly.
‘ that's enough ’, Alvin said from a distance as he approaches their destination with one of them flee the scene but mistakenly running into a pole and passed out.
‘ who the hell are you ’, he asked staring at him.
‘ am your doom ’, he kicks him on the face with force sending him to the ground.
Few Minutes later...
He slowly opens his eyes only to discover that his trapped inside a room with Hope and Alvin gazing at them as they sleep with their katana by their sides.
He tilts his head up and down with a confused look on his face, ‘ where are we, what are you all doing to us, we know nothing and we are not gonna say what we don't know ’, he turns away from them with a serious look on his face.
Alvin smiles, ‘ I don't wanna know what you know, I just want you to save your pretty ass and I don't even care if you die now but the only thing are all I care about is why you were following me ’.
He remains mute, ‘ I can't answer that question ’, he answered in suspense.
‘ I told you this was hopeless, let's just waste them ’, he took up his sword for his head before he voiced out in fear.
‘ wait, am going to talk but don't take off my head like that, am a somebody not a no body ’, before taking in a deep breath.
‘ we were both sent after the both of you by a very rich and noble man, who never really likes to show himself but prefers to hide in the shadows, his name his sir Fredric the great, his a very rich and powerful man, he can influence anybody to do anything he wants, he is like an unstoppable force but why would he send us to only follow you, that's what made me worried and I decided to stay by the side lines to avoid any complications cause their is a saying, rich men can not be trusted ’, in a soft tone.
He aggressively slams his hand by the wall as he clenched his fists, ‘ so we just wasted our time with this low lives for nothing, I should have stayed far away now it's like we have gone no where with our plan to find our boss ’, Alvin said with an angry voice.
He looks around and faced his fellow colleague, ‘ who is their boss ’, he whispers but to his surprise Alvin heard him and hauled him to the ground with his hands clutching their shirt.
‘ what have you done to my boss huh, you should better start talking or else your head will be off and you are not gonna see it again ’, in a high tone.
Hope sights him and draws him away from the suspect with both of his hands as they both staggered, ‘ what do you think you are doing, do you wanna kill our suspect or what, you have to keep it together ’, in a soft tone.
Alvin takes in a deep breath and releases it with a smile as he walks up to them and helps him up on his feet with a smile engulfing his entire face, ‘ am sorry, let's just end this whole stuff with am sorry I did so that I almost killed you by accident and let us never talk about this again is that clear or should we go over it again ’, he asked.
He immediately nods his head in fear, ‘ it is ’, in a scared tone.
..
As he walks out from the room Hope stare at him, he could only imagine what was going through his messed up mind but he decided to play it safe and to just keep calm by walking out as well before he ends up killing one of them.
In the middle of the night that same day Hope was thinking about his crew over at Scotland where they were and how they were coping. He moves to and fro in destress as he was finding it difficult to sleep due to over thinking and too much of stress he decided to stay safe by just sitting duck...
At where Sir Elvis was staying, he seems to be enjoying his day off as he was served several meals and was dressed in a black cloth with him boozing off in wine and eating like a king. When he was done he had it cleaned up with his back resting by a soft punched pillow.
He let out a loud tone as he was obvious living the dream of hospitality.
‘ how was your meal ’, he asked.
He turns to his side and smiles as he sights him, ‘ great, I don't really know how to thank you all for this great meal, I can say I have never eaten like this in my entire life and am very, very grateful for what you all be doing for me ’, in a soft tone.
‘ there is nothing to be grateful about, we should be the ones thanking you for even being a good patriot to our nation ’, with a sniff.
He smiles with his upper teeth been exposed accompanied with the sipping sounds coming from the wine he was boozing from.
‘ let's just say that you are very lucky to be here, not everyone makes it out there alive and lives to tell the tale ’, In a soft tone.
Sir Elvis was stunned by his comment and decided to ask him what he meant, ‘ what do you mean by I should have been dead or what ’, in a weak tone.
He remains mute as Sir Elvis question pierced through his heart within a second, ‘ we can not tell you that, you are not gonna like what you are about to hear, so it's better we just forget about it so that no body will be hurt ’, he ends the conversation walking away from him but sir Elvis calls him back wanting to know more.
One of his friend stares at him, ‘ now you have seen what you have done, you should have not mentioned that to him before ’, in a soft tone.
‘ am very disappointed at you cause you have really made me look like a fool ’, he replied.
‘ am gonna let him you what you are suppose to know ’.
Sir Elvis braced himself for what his going to hear as he clutch his hands together.
He takes in a very deep breath, ‘ the place you were at was a diseased environment, the toxicity there made you wake and you were a little like I don't even know how to put it so let's just go to what is really all about ’.
He kept quiet for a while before he went on saying, ‘ the little people from the town were brutally murdered or should I say eaten up by those bastards who call themselves demons, they ate up like almost all the humans of the little town but now the British force have sent us over there to put an end to the insane plegue ’, In a low tone.
He immediately rose up on his feet with a worried look on his face, ‘ take me to the boat am heading for Scotland ’, in a dramatic tone.
The midnight sounds was so pleasurable to him that he had to look at the midnight sky only to flash back to his memories of his demon urges when he heard the disturbing voice piercing through his ear about him being a demon, the creatures he hunts to save the ones he loves.
 Alvin was still outside till the day slowly breaks with him still outside.
‘ Alvin ’, he yells his name twice as he tilt his head to in search for who was yelling his name only to sight Hope who was walking up to him.
He sighs heavily while resting his hands on his lap, ‘ we should headout ’, he spoke.,
‘ why do you say so.. ’, he judged.
‘ cause things are going to get rough from hence forth, it's better to remain alive than to die by the enemies sword ’, Hope concluded while slowly catching his breath.
He rose up on his feet with a sneer, ‘ let's go search for Sir Elvis ’, in a dramatic tone.
“ the whoshing sounds of wind blazing through the environment ”.
¶ at this point sir Elvis was already in Scotland In search for his crew while unknown to him that his students were in search for him ¶.
A loud thud scatters the sand of the earth as a feet lands on the ground sending birds chirping and vroom to and fro.
He walks out from his boat and heads for a chariot with a man out front wearing a wide big hat.
‘ welcome back sir ’.
He turns his back with a smile, ‘ how are you doing ’, in a polite tone.
He chuckles, ‘ nice to meet you Sir Elvis, we thought you were dead ’, he asked.
He smiles staring directly into his eyes, ‘ legends don't die but instead we live cause we have big balls ’.
He enter the chariot with the horses galloping off sending dusts into the atmosphere.
          Where Hope and Alvin were.
Hope walks on dried up leaves with the sounds booming through the environment, he slowly tip toe to a shaking old gate with a metal cracking sound, getting there Alvin sights some group of men on military uniforms with the Britain logo and he signals to Hope who was about to attack. 
He walks out from his hiding spot with his hands held up.
‘ Hello brothers, I need your help ’.
They faced him heavily armed to the teeth with Hope freezing up in fear.
‘ what are you doing here, who are you ’.
He moves closer to them with one of them preparing to attack.
‘ am from the demon academy, am in search of my teacher, Sir Elvis ’.
A figure dashed out hearing his name, ‘ hold ’, he walks up to him as they were all at alert, ‘ who are you to him ’, he asked.
‘ am one of his students, Alvin ’.
He moves fro with a disappointed look on his face, ‘ he just left not too long, I don't think you can catch up with him at this rate ’.
Hope looks Disappointed and he walks away from Alvin, ‘ thanks alot for everything ’, he bows and runs up to Hope.
‘ don't worry, we are heading to England where it's safe ’, he moves onward with Hope freezing up.
‘ I have someone here to visit ’, Hope said in a dramatic tone.
         At Lincoln in the mountains.
¶ Hope and Alvin heads up to Williams Samson, the retired demon hunter who trained Hope and who is taking care of his sister Gwen ¶.
A disturbing knocking sound could be heard coming from the door.
A man could be seen in the shadows sitting on an old wooden chair moving to and fro with him comfortably resting on it feeling relaxed as the sounds disturbs his calm spirit he let out a glare and slowly moves to his door.
He haul it down with his leg accompanied with his unsheathed sword on his hand only to sight an old friend holding up a very friendly smile on his face.
He hugs him with tears dripping down from his cheeks.
‘ I have missed you ’, Hope said.
‘ so have I my boy ’, he embraced him as he looks away there he was with a surprise look on his face.
He opens his mouth as he sights Williams for the first time in eight years Williams himself was also lost in words and in thoughts.
   Few minutes later.
Williams was sitting on a chair with Hope and Alvin sharing the same seat he stares at Alvin cause it have been long since they have met.
‘ how long have you been hiding ’, Williams asked Hope.
He smiles, ‘ I wasn't hiding, I was fighting ’.
‘ how about your friend over here, would you not introduce him to me ’, in a soft tone with a smile.
Hope dashed a smile, ‘ where is my manners ’, he repositioned himself.
‘ here is Alvin, my old friend his also a demon hunter like me ’, Hope said.
‘ that's delightful ’, Williams said.
‘ would you like to introduce yourself to me ’, Williams asked.
He finds it annoying and rose up on his feet, ‘ stop pretending like you don't know me when you do ’, in an aggressive tone.
Hope was lost in thoughts.
‘ what do you mean by that Alvin ’, Hope asked.
But he remains mute before Williams sighs in and explain to the young man, ‘ the person you thought you knew I already knew him before you, he is just like ...’, he was about referring him to his sister but that will be revealing his secret but he remains quiet and slowly ends the conversation.
‘ who is he like ’, Hope eagered to know more.
Williams stares at him with the intention of telling the young boy Hope but out of fear and what it might cause he rather fakes it to save a life.
‘ why don't you go downstairs to meet your sister, she really missed you and she always prayed for you to come back safely ’, Williams said.
Hope walks up stairs leaving only Williams and Alvin all alone by themselves.
¶ Alvin had alot to say but did not know where to start from, his eyes were filled with questions while his mouth were as dried as an empty barrrel only his eyes could explain his inner emotions ¶.
           Downstairs with his sister.
As he goes down the stairs the clinking sounds disturbs his sister who was just resting but when she caught his smell she immediately sprinted up on her feet looking around for his brother only to hear his voice booming into her locked up cage.
He stood still with tears dripping down from his cheeks as he stammers.
‘ Gwen, I have missed you ’, she turns around and smiles at him seeing him for the first time out of two years.
She looks at him with a broken smile on her face, ‘ I always wished for this day to come ’, she exclaimed.
She lunge for him with her arms open.
‘ you can not believe how long I have been waiting for this day ’, in a low tone.
¶ they both walked up stairs while Alvin was been questioned by Williams ¶.
He looks at him with a distinguish look on his face accompanied with a sneer.
‘ why have you not yet told him about your secret ’, in a high tone.
He stares at him with a glare.
‘ he doesn't deserve to know too much, it is very dangerous to hide secrets from him cause he also has same fate as yours ’, Williams said.
He gaze away from him for a while before replying him with his head tilted upward.
‘ I can not do such a thing, I can't even trust him his not to be trusted ’, he answered.
‘ but he have been with you all the way and why don't you still trust him, his like a humble comrade ’.
He moves away with his back view turned against him, ‘ not everything looks at it seems something are meant to be left lying down ’.
Suddenly Hope and Gwen walks in with Gwen chained up looking clean and stunning as usual.
Alvins gazed at her and was stunned by her appearance.
‘ who is she ’, he asked.
Williams turns around and sights her, ‘ ooh, she is Hope's sister ’.
‘ she is beautiful how old is she ’, he asked.
‘ why don't you ask him yourself ’.
Hope walks up to him with a smile on his face, ‘ she is my lovely sister ’, in a high tone.
Alvin stares at her and realize her long claws and fangs signifying that she is a demon, he dashed back in fear with his unsheathed sword slowly driving from his shaft accompanied with a poss.
‘ tch ’, he expressed before thinking to himself and tries to hide the fact that she is a demon.
‘ How can a beautiful girl like you be a demon, she looks more human like me I can feel it ’, he soliloquies to himself.
He slowly trusts it back sending a clinking sound to Gwen's ear. As she sensed it she looks at him and sights Alvin's sword trusting back, out of fear she maul with a raging look on his face as she haul him to the ground sitting on top of him with her claws suspended in midair about to strike him down.
‘ stop, Gwen don't do it ’, he yells with his eyes closed.
She stiffs her hand in suspension while glimpsing at him with her contracted fangs and claws about to devour him but she seems to be held back by her human emotions and her love for her beloved brother Hope.
‘ argh ’, she grunts with a deadly look on her face.
¶ at this point she revealed her real identity as a demon and Alvin does not seem to be in shock knowing her really identity, Hope tries explaining to him but it seems action speaks loud than words, she looks sadistic and tries hiding her face but Sir Williams tries defending her like she was his own daughter ¶.
Hope and Alvin were both outside having a conversation about Gwen and Alvin seems to be In a good position about that and they both head for England with Hope hiding her in a chariot.
      But before that, few minutes later.
             That same day.
[ Departing footsteps of Hope downstairs ].
He walks up to him and pats him on the shoulder.
‘ there is something you should know about your great master ’, Williams said with a strong look on his face.
He looks confused due to his words.
‘ what do you mean ’, he said to his hearing but also thought to himself, ‘ what is this all about, hope it's not what am thinking, I don't have time for his games right now ’, in a serious tone.
He inhales before prolonging.
‘ it's about Sir Giaus, he came here to visit me before traveling, it's about you Alvin, as you can see your condition is getting out of hand that Sir Giaus had to travel to a far distance in search for your cure ’.
He looks worried.
‘ what do you mean ’, in a low tone.
He keeps quiet for a while before saying.
‘ it's about your demon side, it's practically taking over your body, am sorry to say that there's is nothing I can do but go just advice you to be patient about your condition ’, Williams said with his side view against him.
       Present scene.
¶ now the three of them are heading to England with Sir Elvis and the crew already at England at the academy waiting for their next assignment ¶.
         At the hunters academy.
Sir Elvis was looking strong with his hands behind his back with a cross.
‘ let's head to hunt an old friend of ours, Austin ’.
Standing at his back was Ino and Angela.
As they walked away from him unknown to him that Alon was paying attention to their conversation, ‘ is it Austin the demon ’, he whispers to himself in silence.
