“Neither of them are speaking.” Ruda told me while we both stood in the basement of Yohan's house. It was a small room for storage but we improvised. There was no better place than this to keep the two men we took hostage.
“How did Yohan know I was in trouble?” I asked.
“All he got from this guy was a line, ‘your lover must be dead by now.’ It was a line said out of spite since he was being beaten senseless at that time.” Ruda took out some gloves and wore them
“I can tell…” I looked at the chestnut colored haired man tied to the chair with cable wires since silver wasn’t available for binding. He was already in bad shape. Yohan is really strong… I mean one can tell just by looking at his physique, moreover he has an overwhelming aura.
“Yohan took the hint and got to you in time. He already knew that you both were being watched.” He walked to the table in the corner, “He got suspicious when I told him that mom was asking about you and he really played his cards right but I guess even he didn’t think things would get this bad.” He said as he grabbed a silver chain.“Last warning.”
“I’m staying.” I told him, “But if you’re saying it isn’t your parents then who is it?”
“Well, we’ll find that out now.” He came over and handed me a pair of scissors, “Cut their shirts.” He spoke in a grim tone as his eyes went serious suddenly. The usual glow he has around him vanished and it was as if he was taken over by someone else.
I was taken aback by the sudden change in his demeanor but took the scissors nonetheless.
Taking a deep breath I cut their shirts off while Ruda took his position. I already knew what he was going to do but still it was hard to watch.

I never thought I would see such a cruel side of Ruda. I could never even think of it, I mean ‘that’ cute and bubbly Ruda who’s a complete goofball, he can torture men like this?
It was hard to believe and if I didn’t see for myself I would never have believed it.
He had beaten up the men with a thick silver chain, silver is deadly to werewolves. It burns them when they come in contact with it and silver wounds heal very very slowly.
“You still won’t speak?” Ruda asked them both but one of them was pretty much unconscious while the blondie was still keeping up.
“You’re as cruel as your father.” The blondie spoke.
“Am I now?” Ruda replied. He was unfazed by his words.
“You even look just like him.” The blondie gave him a nasty gaze and Ruda slapped it off of him.
“Why did you try to kill Yohan?” He demanded an answer, “What do you get from it?”
Blondie chewed his lower lip while refusing to answer.
“Tell me.” Ruda grabbed his face, “Who sent you?”
“No one.”
Ruda slapped him again, “Answer me.”
“No one.” He repeated his answer, “I’ll say it as many times as I have to.” He glared at Ruda who was already annoyed enough because this answer was on constant repeat from both of them.
“Let me change the question.” Ruda pointed at me, “Did you intend to kill her too?”
The blonde haired man looked at me, “I don’t even know her.” His gaze was blurry but he could still see and answered after looking at me for a few moments, “Nope, no idea.”
“Then why Yohan?”
“I’ll say it again. I came here personally because I found out they were going to kill the girl.” He pointed at the brunette on the other chair with his head.
“You already gave me that answer.” Ruda replied, “Tell me the reason.” He grabbed him by the hair and yanked his face up, “You both are acting like strangers on purpose aren’t you?”
He smirked, “I really don’t know the dude but you-” He laughed, “You’re saying as if you really don’t know.” He licked the inside of his cheek, “Trying to act innocent?”
“What are you trying to get at?”
“You know killing your brother means we won’t have to fear him.” He finally gave a different answer. Maybe all that beating had made his thinking fuzzy.
“That’s your only reason? Yohan never did anything to you.” Ruda was getting angrier. He took the chain and wrapped it around his neck, “You piece of filth.”
The blondie groaned in pain, “You’re denying things the same way.” He gritted his teeth, “I keep telling you I don’t know the dude over there and I did it for a personal grudge.”
“I refuse to believe that Yohan would ever harm anyone.”
His skin sizzled and burned but he held in his screams yet he couldn’t hide the agony on his face and even though he had almost killed someone so dear to me I was feeling bad for him at this point.
Ruda came and stood next to me near the table that was at a distance from the two men.
“You may kill me here!!” He took out the strength to speak, “But justice will prevail one day!” He yelled, “You, your brother and your vile father!! All of you will get punished for the heinous crimes you committed!!”
Ruda and I exchanged glances.
“Crimes?” I whispered.
“I don’t know..” He was as confused as me.
