CHAPTER 12
“ Why will they kill themselves, I thought they were best friends? “ Hudson asked, shocked at what Ben said.
“ You wanna know what happened? “ Ben asked and they both nodded firmly.
“ Fine then, come with me” Ben said turning his back on them.
“ Where to? “ Hudson asked.
“ Your grandpa’s house” Ben replied, heading to the door.
“ Oh yeah, it has been since I visited him” Hudson said, going after Ben.
“ Hey wait up, I’m coming along” Alvara yelled, running after them. They all headed downstairs.
“ Whoa, whoa, hold it. Where are you guys heading to in a hurry?” Blink asked on seeing them.
“ We’re heading to my grandpa’s house. Some secrets are about to be exposed” Hudson replied rubbing his palms together in excitement.
“ That’s quite dangerous, you know” Blink said.
“ Yeah, we know, we’ll be extra careful” Alvara replied with an eye roll.
“ You all wait here” Blink said and left. She came back with 3 hoodies, handing one to Alvara, Hudson and Ben and to herself.
“ This will do” She said with a smile.
“ And I’m coming with you guys. I’m interested in the secret about being exposed” She added, rubbing her palms together too.
Covering their hair and face with the cap of the hoodie, they all left the underground through the backyard.

“ I’m so happy to see you once again my boy” Anthony, Hudson’s grandpa said, ruffling his hair playfully, causing a deep frown to form on Hudson’s face.
He hates it whenever, his grandpa calls him that.
“ Grandpa, can you please stop calling me that?” He grunted angrily.
“ You haven’t changed your grumpy attitude, have you?” Anthony let out a slight laugh, making Hudson frown the more.
“ Anyways, what’s with the usual visit?” Anthony asked and Ben exhaled deeply before speaking up. He knows what he was about saying might cause his father’s blood pressure to rise.
“ Dad…Hudson is a……mutant” Ben said and Anthony’s eyes widened and he shot Hudson a surprise look.
“ Really?” He asked.
“ Yes grandpa, I am a mutant” Hudson replied with a proud smile.
“ Wow, amazing” Anthony said not knowing to express his shock.
“ But that isn’t the problem, Dad” Ben said.
“ There’s a problem? “ Anthony asked and Ben nodded.
“ Hudson possess the Fenris Force together with Alvara over there” Ben replied, pointing at Alvara who was observing all the picture frame on the wall, her hand in the pocket of her baggy jean.
Seeing her, Hudson couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
“ Seriously Alvara, you’ve been doing that since we came here” He groaned.
“Hey let me dude. This pictures are quite interesting to observe. Hmmm, your grandpa was really a handsome guy when he was young” Alvara complimented.
“Just come over here" Blink said making her groan.
“Sure whatever” She said, coming over and sitting beside Blink.
“So what did I miss?” She asked.
“Nothing yet” Blink replied.
“Are you serious about what you said Bernard, tell me you’re joking” Anthony said.
“ I wish it was but it isn’t dad. Hudson and Alvara are the second generation Fenris Twins” Ben replied and Anthony’s face gloom in a horrific expression.
“ This is bad, no, this seriously can’t be” He mumbled to himself.
“ Do you know what this means, Ben? “ He asked in a scary tone, making Hudson and Alvara swallow nervously.
“ Yes Dad, History is about to repeat itself” Ben replied.
“ Ok, hold it. I don’t understand what you both mean by history is about to repeat itself. Which history? “ Hudson asked.
“ History of the Fenris Twins” Ben replied.
“ I know but what exactly happened that made you and grandpa hate the mention of the Fenris Force? “ Hudson asked.
“ Listen my boy. Possessing the Fenris Force is a curse” Anthony replied.
“ What made it a curse? To me it’s an amazing power” Alvara questioned.
“ Yeah, it might seem like a an amazing power but…… it possess a dark side…….the dark side of FIRE and ICE” Anthony replied, his tone like a teacher telling his student a scary stories.
“ My father, Hunter and Hayden were best friends since they were little. When they turned six, my grandfather, Smith, who was a White Supremacist, performed a genetic modification on the both of them which gave them the bio-energy power, The Fenris Force, which they can use when in physical contact. He indoctrination them to become White Supremacist and used them to fight against other races…
“ They both were bestest of friends and everything was going perfectly fine between them until they both left the Hellfire club and formed a club of their own, The Fenris Club. A fight broke between them on who was going to become the leader of their club…
“ Unknown to them, their power possess a dark side and never manifested until they turned against each other. Their dark force of Fire( Hayden) and Ice (Hunter) manifested and they used it against each other which created a very dangerous out blast that killed almost everybody in the world then and even killed them both” Anthony explained and by the time he was done, Blink, Hudson and Alvara jaws dropped, their mouth in an ‘O’ shape.
“ We thought everything ended when luckily neither I nor your Dad inherited the power but you both inheriting that power means………..
“ History is about repeating itself” Ben chipped in.
“ This is bad….. really bad” Blink said. Alvara and Hudson looked at each other with parted lips before turning to Anthony.
“ We don’t know what to say” They both muttered sadly.
“ But one thing I can assure you Grandpa is that, we won’t let history repeat itself on us” Hudson said.
“ When history is destined to replay….. nobody can stop it” Ben implied.
“ But we will. It’s a promise; we…….. Hudson and I will never let it happen” Alvara assured.
“ I just hope so” Anthony muttered.
“ You trust me grandpa, right?” Hudson asked and Anthony nodded.
“ Then take this as a promise I made to you “ Hudson said, making Ben and Anthony’s heart relax a bit.
• *. *. *
“Hey” Hudson called making Alvara turn. She was on the rooftop, staring at the stars in the sky as her mind wondered about everything going on lately.
Hudson also headed to clear his head up and saw Alvara already at the rooftop so he decided to join her.
“ What are you doing here? “ He asked, sitting beside her.
“ Still thinking about your Mom? “ He asked.
“ Nah. Thinking about my Dad” Alvara replied.
“ You miss him? “ Hudson asked making Alvara scoff.
“ I’ve…… never seen my Dad before” She replied, her eyes still fixed on the stars.
“ Oh…. Sorry…… I wasn’t aware” Hudson muttered.
“ Yeah sure” Alvara replied, letting out a deep sad sigh.
“ Did your Mom ever mentioned him to you? “ Hudson asked, his gaze fixed on Alvara.
“ Well, she normally tells me he’s no more so I thought he was dead but he wasn’t actually” Alvara replied.
“ What happened to him then? “ Hudson couldn’t help but ask.
“ My Mom said, he was a member of the Brotherhood and 18yrs ago, a weird eclipse led to the disappearance of all members of the Brotherhood which…… my dad is sure among. I don’t even know if he’s alive or not” Alvara replied in a sad tone.
“Maybe I am destined to live my whole life without a father” She added. Hudson face softened and he immediately felt sorry for her. Living without a Mom or Dad is sure not an easy thing.
“ Wow” Hudson scoffed not knowing what to say.
“ I always had this thinking that I am the only unlucky person in the world because I lost my mom 6yrs ago but if I come to think of it…… I am really lucky. At least I got to experience a mother’s the for 13yrs….. but you……
“ I never even knew what it feels to have a father” Alvara chipped in letting out a painful chuckle. Hudson slowly placed his palm on her hand, making Alvara turn her gaze to him.
He shot her a reassuring smile and seeing those smile, her mind relaxed and she couldn’t help but smile back at him. She slowly, slipped her hand out, fixing her gaze back to the stars.
“ What do you plan on doing now you’ve found out what happened to your Dad? “ Hudson asked, breaking the awkward silence that fell between them.
“ Find him” Alvara replied immediately.
“ I’ve made up my mind to find him and not just him, all the members of the Brotherhood” Sh added.
“ And do you think that’s possible? “ Hudson asked.
“ Deep down, I know he is alive and I don’t care if it is possible or not. All I care about is finding him” Alvara replied.
“ I’m…….I’m with you” Hudson said, making Alvara’s gaze land on him again. She let out a chuckle, indicating she didn’t believe him.
“ I’ll help you find your Dad….. I promise” Hudson assured and looking into those eyes of his, Alvara knew he was meant what he just said…. Sincerity was written in it……. ..
