LEX - Episode 28

 

Guess there ain't a cliché that entails about unwanted friends; friends whose future is dangling on a rope- friends who have been kicked out of their pack. This is really a diary of an unwanted friend.

After Lex left Heather and her boyfriend, Rory to their fantasy love scene; his mind was troubled- the love of his heart is currently with another guy, probably making out. Lex doesn't want to think about it yet; he knew it was their time and he was certain his time was coming too.

On his way to class, he saw Jackson brooding at one corner along the stairs beside the lavatory . Lex had ignored him at first- he was going ti mind his business and not meddle in the affair of a wolf- his arch enemy.

As he was about to take through the stairs that lead to the hallway. He could hear Jackson heart pounding beyond normal; instantly lex knew something was wrong- he recognize fear when he sees one.

Fear had mixed within Jackson soul, his whole mind was not at rest. He doesn't know what step to take- he doesn't know what the outcome of any decision he takes will be.

Staying with the pack is quite an awesome idea..... Though it came with a 'BUT'. If he stays with the pack- he would have to forego any reputation he has

. He must be ready to start afresh and forget the fact that he was once an Alpha. That will be quite painful cause the wolves he trained would be above him; he will be a messenger wolf and will only run errand for  the pack.

And leaving the pack comes with a lot of risk. He would become an omega wolf and roam alone for the rest of his life..... Only if he sees a pack to adopt him.

"Hey Jackson-" the voice came very husky.

Jackson yanked at such a familiar voice it was the voice of his greatest enemy. He seriously couldn't forget such a familiar voice- the voice of the person that put him in this state; the voice of the person that made him lose his pack.

Jackson looked back momentarily only to see Lex standing above him. The sight of Lex disgust Jackson. He had thought Lex had come to mock him- he knew the news of him being dethroned as an Alpha as spread swiftly among the supernatural in the school.

"What do you want?" Jackson said, fuming.

"Nothing...." Lex replied, smirking "I seriously mean no harm"

Harm??? Lex really mean no harm??? Jackson was finding it so hard to believe. A vampire never goes anywhere without trouble.... Wherever they go trouble follows.

"You have come here to mock me?" 

"Mock you?" Lex asked, absentminded.

"I don't have time for your mind games" Jackson screamed as he try to shift into the monster he really is.

Lex was ready to calm him down.... But he just couldn't. Something was wrong- Jackson was different... His eyes was different.

Read " My Messiah :Love in Damascus " by the same author ( olasupo isaac )

. It doesn't bear the brightly red Alpha eye anymore... His eyes were now  yellowish.

"What the hell happen, Jackson?" 

Jackson calmed his irritated mind- he could see that the news had travelled slower than he had expected. 

"As you can see- am no longer an Alpha" Jackson replied

Lex didn't bother asking him what happened, he knew the whole thing was related to him- and felt guilty. Lex knew little about how the Lycans work- is either Jackson becomes a slave of the pack or run off and become an Omega wolf.

"What are your plans now?" Lex asked

Jackson looked at him with pity written all over his eyes. The question Lex had asked was the same thing making him brood- the same question disturbing his mind. He seriously doesn't know what he wants to do- he doesn't know what is plans is. Jackson mind is shattered at the moment and he ain't sure about what he wanted.

"I don't know yet-" Jackson replied after a long thought.

Lex moved closer to him and gave him a pat. It was as if Arch rivals are now transitioning into friends. 

"Can I sit?" Lex said 

Jackson merely nodded and Lex sat beside him. It was like enemies reunion- the fate of the unwanted. 

"I seriously know how it feels like- to be unwanted; to be an outcast" Lex began, and Jackson gave him all his attention.

"I haven't regretted any decision I make but the other night with you guys.... Was my deepest regret- I had killed someone"

Jackson turned to look at him- he could see traces of honesty in his words; he could feel that Lex was suffering from guilt. 

"I did what I had to do all in the name of saving a friend... Now that same friend as made me an outcast"

"Such happens-" Jackson was cut off instantly

"...Am sorry for everything; I deeply regret my actions and the way it cost you your pack" Lex pleaded

Jackson had seriously not expected it- Lex was really apologizing to him. His Arch enemy was now trying to make resolution? It was so unexpected.

"Am still finding this so hard to believe" Jackson said after a long thought "you are really sorry for everything?"

Lex nodded and extended a hand

"Let's start all over" he said, with a rainbow smile showing his hungry canine.
