Chapter 14: In the beginning...


"..Governor Pneumeth of the To'Adin provence on Diamondus has adviced it's citizens to stay indoors during the evening, as the situation on Diamondus grows worse. Many people have lost their lives since the civil war started three months ago, and..."
The newsreader held her hand against her earpiece. "Oh my god." She softly said.

"Turn up the volume Jake." A man in the back of 'The green dragon.' the oldest, and cheapest inn of Peddleburg yelled at Jake Marshall, the old owner, a man with deep eyes, that looked like he had missplaced his razor blade a very long time ago, and did not bother to buy a new one. He reached for the remote control under the bar, and was able to turn up the volume before the newsreader could continue, she took a deep breath, nervously took the papers lying on the table in front of her and placed them a little to the left, for no reason, just to give her hands something to do before looking into the camera. "My apologies for the interuption, we just received the news that the southern army has moved on to the city of Depada. General Necra has started an attack on the north, word has received us that this attack is fully supported by the government of the south, we now go live to our reporter in Nari, several miles to the west of Depada. iCeD, are you there?"

A young, white furred lynx appeared on the screen, the people in the bar were very silent, including Louie and Majo, who were sitting in two small wooden chairs at a table in the back, Louie had ordered a glass of water, not to cause to much suspisioun, Majo had told the barkeeper that they had been walking here all the way from Greenthorpe, which was a 30 mile walk, and the weather was very warm for the time of the year. It would be strange if he was not thirsty, he took advantage of the situation, all of the people in the bar were staring at the screen, so he quickly emptied his glass in the vase the stood on the middle of the table, the flower in it looked like it could use it more then him. Majo whispered "I'm scared."
She wanted to be comforted. Louie just looked at the tv, it seemed that they were having some problems with the audio, which is understandable, this was live broadcasting from only a few miles from the warzone, the young reported stood in front of a big building, he looked into the camera without any sign of fear on his face, the grip on his microphone was firm and steady, he was waiting for the audioproblem to be fixed, while a few headlines were rolling trough the bottem of the screen.
" Situation on Diamondus has escalated, attack on Depada. Gary Parker running candidate for the governership of Peddleburg. Earian Thunder wins the Carrotus Cup. "
An old and grumpy fox came back from the toilet. "Darn it, how long does it take those idiots to fix an audioproblem. Change the channel."
"Easy Ted, have a beer on me." Jake yelled back.
Ted Harrison had a few relatives living in Nari, the old and grumpy man accepted the beer with a little, fake smile and sat down on his seat, taking a small pack holding about 4 cigarettes out of his wife's bag and lit one up. Jake had a strict policy about people not being allowed to smoke in his bar, but when Ted looked at him he nodded in agreement, he decided to make a small exceptation, just for today.

"Thanks Jenny, i'm here." The young man said, the audio problem had been fixed.
"Hello iCeD, has the president of the Northern front given an official reaction yet?" The lovely newsreader asked him.
iCeD shook his head. "No, the president is currently in a meeting with several ministers of his council, but the minister of the media has informed us that he will give a speach to the people of the north tonight.
He has moved out of Depada as soon as the news reach him, word is that he has moved to Nincada, where the spaceport is located, he might leave for Carrotus later today."
"And king Jazz, has he given a reaction yet?"
"He has not, he will give his reaction soon however.We do not have a lot of information yet, it is told that there were a lot of northern troops stationed in Kathmana, which is the closest military base from here, the troops have been mobilized and will arrive here in a matter of hours. We will be leaving for Nincada soon, the station has called us back."
"Thank you iCeD... Are you ok?." Jenny asked worried.
iCeD nodded. "I'll be home tonight. Goodbye Jenny."

The people in the bar started talking, within a breath, the silence was broken, everybody talked to someone.
Majo put her hand on Louie's, she shivered at the touch of the coldness of his skin, he enjoyed the warm flesh covering his hand, he could not hide that he was slightly worried, concerned for the wellbeing of the people on Diamondus. He looked at her, she was close to crying, everyone in the bar but him looked moved, sad and angry.
Their hands were entagled, became one. "Calm down, let me get you another drink." He said calmly, he did an incredible good job at hiding his feelings was the first thing that came to Majo's mind.
Louie got up and walked to the bar, a little kid, not really knowing what went on looked at him and smiled.
He smiled back, which gave the little girl the scare of her life, his fangs were unnaturally large, a sign of his hunger. He quickly walked over to the bar.
"I'd like a glass of the strongest ale you have... and a water please." He looked around, seeing if noone noticed him, the only two people looking at him were the little girl and Majo.
"Here you go buddy, it's on me. I can see that your girlfriend over there is in quiet a shock." The friendly, old bartender said.
"Thanks sir, that is very generous of you." Louie said just as he felt a terrible sharp pain in his stumach. His body shook and his pupils slowly faded.
"Are you ok buddy?" Jake asked him worried.
"Yes, i have to go... to the toilet.
Jake pointed at a small door in the back, decorated with a flower and the word 'men' in fancy letters underneath it.
Louie stumbled to the door, pushed it open with his shoulder and fell into the toilet.
It was a small but clean place, with three Shakelsbee urinoirs and three small fountains shaped like a turtles shell, for washing your paws.
He looked around, he had a highly evolved scent and could smell a prey from miles away, he noticed a very thin rat crawling in trough a hole in the far corner underneath one of the small fountains.
Louie got up and immidatly fell on the floor again, he reached out his hand for the rat and tightly squized his paw around it, he could feel the rat's small rib cage cracking in his hand, put it to his mouth and let his life's juices flow down his troath. His pupils became clear again, and his canine teeth returned to their normal size.
He got up and threw the rats corpse out of the small window above the urinoir in the middle of the room, turned to his left, he washed the disgusting scent of the rats fur off of his hands, looked up, looking into the mirror, seeing nothing but the wall behind him.
He leaned over the fountain for a moment and then decided it was time to return, he would be ok for another three hours now, the meal was only a small one, but sufficient for the time being
