Part II

Darren's eyes fluttered open, and the sunlight from the window blinded him. He set a hand over his eyes as he got up "Ludovic spared me…" he was happy and a bit relieved. 

"You tried your best," His eyes moved to Ludovic, and a grin appeared on his face "I lost. I guess I've missed my chances of finding out the truth." 

His recollections of the night before were hazy. All he remembered was that Ludovic stabbed the ground and not him. A few seconds later, he passed out, and now he's back in a room with swathes around his abdomen. 

Ludovic rubbed the back of his head, "I'll still tell you the secret though. There's no need for me to keep it only to myself. Follow me" The wolfman walked out of the room, and Darren made a couple of flimsy strides as he moved along the foyer prompting Ludovic's room.
