Chapter 152 - One Hundred And Fifty-Two : Keep My Family Safe
As the shadow moved closer to his face, Trevor sat up abruptly, grabbed him by the collar, and pushed him up against the wall causing the IV attached to the back of his hand to yank off forcefully.
"Who are - "
"It's me " Williams raised his arms in surrender.
Trevor's eyes were wide open from? shock and confusion "Wait, what are you doing he..? "
He looked down "Why am I in a hospital…. ?"
Trevor groaned and staggered as he gripped his head, his world beginning to spin. He felt a hand on his shoulder as someone led him back to the bed.
"You stood up without warning, that's why you're dizzy, " Williams told him while he shut his eyes tightly.
Lying face up, Trevor tucked his face in the crook of his arm and rested for a short while before the dizziness vanished .
With a deep groan, he sat up and glanced up at the figure who was sitting by his bedside.
"What happened? Why am I here?" he asked, taking in the hospital room.
"There was an incident… " Williams stared at him surprised "You don't remember anything? "
Trevor shook his head "The only thing I remember is leaving my house for school, everything else is blank " he explained to Williams who listened to him with rapt attention.
"It's not surprising, the necromancer had firm control on your mind "
"Necromancer? "
"Yeah, your sister's friend Ben got possessed by a necromancer "
Trevor's brow knitted together, how did such a thing happen? He always knew that Ben was trouble yet his sister would not listen. If only she knew supernatural creatures existed?.
"Was there any loss? " He asked, having known the rest would be covered up by the council.
After that night he had come to know that the council was responsible for the balance between supernaturals and humans in Little Town and in some parts of the world.
Unlike other places, the Council's influence in Little Town was maximal creating more balance than other places where supernatural oppression was secretly at its limit.
Though when it comes to giving out missions, hunters were their usual messengers and choice, but due to the alliance with other creatures, the labor was sometimes divided.
Thanks to that, you could find several supernatural creatures in the council but witches had more of a population and support.
"No life was lost but there were some injuries and by the way, you might be doing some community service once you're fully recovered, " Williams informed him while handing a tissue paper to him in order to wipe the blood on the top of his palm.
"Okay. Wait - what?! " asked the stunned Trevor " What did I do wrong? Why should I do community service? "
"Hey relax " Williams calmed him " We used some convincing excuse to cover-up the incident, so just follow the script alright? "
Trevor wanted to protest but decided against it, he was now in training to be a hunter and the first rule was never to disobey an order.
He stood to his feet, his eyes darting across the room " Am I the only one here? What about my family? Mother? Does she know about this? "
"I asked around, said she was here moments ago and had to leave because of an emergency at home and your sister is in one of the VIP rooms - "
"Wait, my sister is here?! "
"Apparently your sister was involved in an accident "He broke the news to him.
"I need to see her "
"Wa-"
But Trevor was already out of the door.
"He doesn't even know the room number " Williams mumbled under his breath and followed after him.
Williams caught up with Trevor who was wandering in the wrong direction and led him to the right room.
Thankfully the door wasn't locked, it seems someone had forgotten to shut the door when walking in.
So Trevor pushed the door open and went inside without much thought but what he never expected was his sister laughing at a joke a hot looking stranger was telling her.
She must have sensed his presence cause she looked up and was surprised.? " Trevor? "
"Lia " her name slipped out of his mouth forcefully than intended
"Oh my God " She gasped "When did you wake-up? " He watched his sister try to stand up but the stranger urged her to sit back causing Trevor to narrow his brow at him.
Trevor scanned the stranger from head to toe, the guy had silky blonde hair that was brushed backward and touching the nape of his neck. He was quite tall, with blue eyes and a muscular frame.
"Who is he? " Trevor asked without hiding the displeasure on his face.
" Oh " She looked up towards the stranger and gestured "Trevor, this is my friend Daniel. Daniel, this is my brother, Trevor "
"Nice to meet you Trevor " Daniel covered the space between them and thrust out his hand for a handshake.
"Nice to meet you too Daniel " Trevor enveloped his hand in a firm grip as they both regarded each other slowly before letting go.
"I thought Ben was your only friend, when did you make another one? " Trevor pointed out and watched her sister lick her lower lips - a gesture she does when she's caught in a dilemma.
" I-I ah - "
"We just became friends not long ago " Daniel answered in her stead.
"You must really love giving your friends flowers, "Trevor said, his eyes resting on the blue lily in Daniel's grip.
"Oh this " Daniel raised the bouquet of flowers "Today is her birthday, and when I heard she was involved in an accident, I decided to visit but I couldn't come empty-handed, so I got her a 'get-well-soon' flowers " He finished with a laugh that sounded too awkward.
Lia watched the scene speechless, her brother's overprotectiveness was becoming a bother.
"Aren't you going to wish me a happy birthday brother ? " She successfully diverted his attention.
"Sorry about that " Trevor scratched his head awkwardly "Happy birthday sister "
"Thank-you " She flashed him a warm smile before straining her neck to the side, trying to catch a view of the figure standing behind her brother.
"Who's he? "
Trevor turned, "Well, this is my friend Williams. Williams, this is my sister, Lia "
"Nice to meet you, Lia "
"Nice to meet you too Williams" she welcomed him with a smile tugging at the corner of her lips
"You must be so special judging from the fact you're the first person Trevor has ever introduced as a friend, " Lia said insinuatingly.
Her comment brought a blush to Trevor's cheeks and he glared at her " What rubbish are you talking about? Who said I didn't have friends "
"Where are they then? " She taunted her brother on purpose, it was time to put him in a tight position.
"You know what? Have fun with your friend " Trevor dismissed the topic and turned to leave.
"Why are you leaving? " She teased him knowingly but Trevor ignored her and left right away.
Once outside, Williams asked him "Are you sure your sister has no idea about the supernatural? "
He nodded and answered confidently
"Of course not. why would she? "
But he glanced up at Williams with a concerned and curious expression
"Why do you ask "
"Because that friend of her's is? a werewolf "
" What?! " Trevor froze.
Then he turned, about to storm back into the room had Willy not stopped him.
" What do you think you're doing?! " He whisper-shouted at him.
"I need to get that beast away from my sister! "
"Are you stupid or what?! " he chided Trevor furiously " So you're going to barge in there and do what exactly?? punch him in the face and say ' stay away from my sister you beast ?! ' is that it? "
Williams's words made him calm down but that didn't mean he would stay still and do nothing.
"So what do you think I should do? "
" Be diplomatic and smart! "
" Seriously? "
Willy jabbed him on the shoulder as if to knock sense into him
"There are only three reasons why the Alpha of the Silvermoon pack would be here: either your sister is his mate or he has some business with her, which means your sister is not as clueless as you thought or they're truly friends - though I highly doubt option three "
Trevor took a deep breath but he couldn't seem to calm down " An alpha of a werewolf pack is with my sister, alone in that room " he said pointing at the room down the hallway.
"Werewolves might be aggressive creatures but they're half human too. Besides, why would he hurt her who for all we know, might even be his mate "
"That is impossible " Trevor refused to believe him.
"We now live in a world where the impossible is possible Trevor, and we are privileged to be among the few who know about that. Now is our responsibility to protect the others in the dark but doesn't mean we shouldn't give the benefit of the doubt to those creatures we protect them from "
"I lost my dad who I just discovered few days ago was a hunter - a fact he hid from us. " Trevor? swallowed down his saliva and went on
"At first I was angry, he hid it from everyone - including his own wife - but I now understand. He did it to keep us safe and I would do everything possible to keep my family safe too "
