Alexia watched them as they whispered to their selves, but she could not grasp what they discussed.

"What are you going to do with these disgusting rodent"

Rachel asked, staring at her as she looked back on the guards, keeping her voice lowly.

"To distract the guards"

Alexia said,

"How, how will you distract three guards with a mouse"

Rachel asked, looking at Alexia inquisitively.

"Watch and learn"

Alexia said, throwing her a grin.

Walking out from her hiding place, the previous scream Rachel had made earlier had distracted the guards a bit, now she had enough time to do what she was about to do.

"Immediately I throw these rodent towards them, quickly you run back to the cell, creating another banging noise to distract the guards guarding the cell main door. So we can have enough time to escape back to the cell room."

Alexia said, giving her a nod, confident over their plans, but Rachel felt reluctant.

"What"

Alexia asked, she did not have enough time, the guards would be back soon enough.

"Am scared, I can't do these"

Rachel said, she felt so damn scared.

"Then watch us get killed, would you?"

Alexia said, flashing her a smile, she watched as Rachel gave a panic wave.

"Good"

Alexia said, flashing her a short smile.

Without giving Rachel a time to protest, Alexia threw the mouse towards where the guard stood, she was good at throwing things in far distance. All thanks where they stood, was dark and drizzling with rain.

"Quick, run"

Alexia said, watching as the rodent made a loud thud on the floor where the guard stood, making a heavy squeak. Rachel ran with full speed, running out from her hiding place towards the cell. Alexia watched as the guards turned towards where the sound was coming from, quickly, without waiting any single time to know if the guards would search for the rodent or not, she ran after Rachel, they had little time ahead of them and they needed to use it quickly.

Rachel saw the two guards who were stationed in the cell maim door, quickly, she turned around, looking for what she could use to create a distraction. Her eyes made a contact with a large drum which stood twenty feet away from the guards, she looked back, seeing Alexia was behind her, she twitched her hands on the drum, the drum flew on the air, then with a mighty force, it fell on the ground, breaking into pieces, the contents of the drum falling on the ground.

Rachel saw the guards left their position and ran towards the broken drum and without wasting any much time, she ran towards the cell, opening the door with all her strength she ran inside, Alexia running after her, then closing the door back. Just as the guards had left it.

The both of them tiptoed towards their cell, not trying to create any form of noise or disturb the other cell mates unless, they would be caught.

Finally they arrived at their cells, opening their cells, as quickly as they entered, they fell on the ground, breathing heavily, they had done a good task, a mighty task.

"What was that for Rachel, isn't that too much, destroying a drum"

Alexia asked, the drum was filled with oil. Which the establishment uses for work.

"Well, that is a slight punishment for making us pass through these pain of changing a name."

Rachel said, throwing her a wink, which made Alexia smile.

"Nice one, we both did a great job"

Alexia said, she trusted her friend, she trusted that her friend would do what she had asked her to do.

"I placed a spell on the book, so the warden can not find out that your name was written in the book, it will bring us trouble"

Rachel said, just then, they heard the sound of steps, which were walking towards their cell, they closed their eyes quickly, not wanting to be caught, pretending to be asleep.

"I told you, she might have returned when we heard the first sound"

They heard a guard said, Alexia smiled lazily at her pretentious sleep.

They had not caught them.

"Ok, let's head back our position"

The second guard said, already seeing the slave who bad wanted to pee, lying on her cell and sleeping, they head out from the room.

"Let's sleep, we have a long day ahead of us"

Alexia said, whispering to Rachel who was at the other cell. Rachel nodded her head, understanding what she meant, they truly had a long day tomorrow.

"So you mean to inform me that the crimson red pack had come attacking three werewolves from the moon stone pack. On the same land which you drag"

Kires said, he was questioning them on behalf of the alpha king, who only remained quiet, staring and listening at the two alphas and their men, who glared at each other with reckless abandon.

"Yes beta Kires, there was rumors even before the killings happened, that the crimson red pack, were plotting evil against us, they were plotting such evil because of the land which was also closer to our border than theirs. No sane person in the moon stone pack would come killing their own packs members, we are not savages, unlike the moon stone pack"

Alpha Roland, of the moon stone pack said, bowing down slightly at the alpha king when he was done.

"You mentioned only the sane. Haven't you heard of the insane werewolves, or perhaps, there are no insane werewolves who lives among your pack, there are no blood thirsty werewolves who do go hunting your pack. Had the word 'rogue' not come to your memory yet, or do you think there exist no rogues in these realm. What if it was a rogue that had killed the three werewolves and more"

Kires questioned the alpha of the moon stone pack, the man was an old sly man, making flimsy excuses to find favor in the Eyes of the alpha king. If only he had known what the alpha king had in mind.

"But alpha king Jaxon......"

"I asked a question"

Kires said, sounding already annoyed that the alpha left his question hanging to speak again to the alpha king.

"Allow him to speak beta Kires"

Jaxon said, turning his attention to alpha Roland of the moon stone pack.
