Chapter 413

"Have you heard they're looking for the choosen one?" Buchim's mother asked when she came to pick Buchim up.

"The choosen one?"

She nods before motioning for me to lean on closer, and I did.

Who wouldn't like to hear a news as juicy as the one she wants to whisper into my ears.

A whispered secret is far more juicier than one spoken face to face.

"The vampires and Werewolves have been looking for the choosen one. "

She widened her eyes as she said those words. Her eyeballs getting bigger as she looked around.

Seeing how secretive she's asking, one will think no one else have heard those news except her.

"Where did you hear such news?" I raise a brow at her.

"Vampires and werewolves have been spotted!" she looked around in feat before furthering lowering her voice " they're said to be getting nearer to this place."

They're near?

"I will be right back," I stood up from the blanket, and rushed towards Ije and the other girls.

"What's wrong ?" she held me "why are you running like the entire Makoha is after you?" 

" They're almost near this town. We need to leave. "

We can't afford to be caught here. This town has only one gate. There will be no means of escape if we're to be caught here.

" We have to wait for your mates to return. Also for the girls who went for the volunteering work to complete their works."

" We will leave in the morning after telling the chief of our departure. We can't leave without an explanation. It will seem somehow."

" That's true. They've been more than receptive towards us. It wouldn't seem okay if we're to leave without telling him of it."

The people of the town have been nothing but kind towards us. It won't look good on us if we're to leave without warning.

It will make us look really ungrateful.

"Then it's decided. We will inform him tonight during dinner," Reddy stroked my cheeks.

"We can't allow them catch us. Your safety is our priority."

*

"You're leaving?" the chief asked as if it's the most absurd thing to think of.

"Yes chief. We need to go back to the mountains for worship like we do days before Anom festival. We will return if the spirit leads us here."

We're not leaving for the mountains, but Ije thought it will a good cover story for us in case the vampires discover this town.

"It's dangerous to travel to the mountain. The vampires and werewolves aren't ones to he met with. There's a rumour of them marching to this town in search of the chosen one and the kidnapped vampire and wolf."

" We can't ignore the calls of the mountains all because of them my chief. We will journey there, and if it seems abortive we will return to this place. It wouldn't hurt for us to at least try and go. It will be a shame as the disciples of the greatest priestess if we cower at the time of adversity."
