Beast Evolution

"Do you think I would take you back to my place when I'm a prisoner" Ray laughed.

"Release me and I would bring him to you unharmed, who knows what kind of beast friends I have at my hideout ready to tear his flesh apart"

'Yes, with this they will have no choice but to let me free, and I would go over to some place and transform back to human'

"It seems you do not value your life," Alfred said.

"It also seems you do not value your student's life," Ray said.

"Have you ever gone through torture" Alfred said with a serious expression.

"Torture" Ray laughed.

'Shit, what are they going to do to me, I can't take torture, I'm not mentally strong for that'

'I need a way to get out of this'

"So you can withstand torture" Alfred said.

Ray stood up with his chained hands and legs, the knights readied their swords in case he makes a move.

"Do you think you are safe here in this forest?"

"Why not, we killed every beast around" Alfred said.

"Are you sure, are you so sure that you won't be attacked by an infected beast, the type that attacked you" Ray said looking at Authur.

"That's impossible, except you have something to do with the beast, did you have something to do with it?" Authur said.

"Do you think if I had something to do with that crazy beast I would have helped you, of it wasn't for me you would have been dead"

Authur couldn't say anything and he just stood there, Alfred sighed.

"Just tell us where the boy is and we'll let you go when we have him in our custody"

"I could show you the place, but if I'm in chains I can't" Ray said, then an idea came to his mind.

'This is time to tell the knights that the capital is going to be attacked'

"You think you are clever, the moment we release you, you will attack us"

Ray sat down comfortably on the ground and all the knights looked at him.

"You know, I have some information about something, I was going to stop it but now that you have me in chains, you would have to stop it" Ray said.

"Stop what?" Authur asked.

"The attack"

...

"Lily I'm sure Ray is fine" Arya said.

"Maybe he's just resting somewhere, you know Ray" Ivan said and chuckled.

Lily was crying silently in the room, Ivan, Sofia, Arya, Leia, Jack, Crystal, Martha were all there consoling Lily.

"He promised me" Lily cried.

initially Authur and Alfred followed the students for the survival training, but Authur and Alfred left the next morning to attend to a matter, but only Authur returned back.

When the knight academy was contacted about the infected beasts, Alfred quickly rushed there with carriages behind him to carry the students back.

Now all the students had returned back with some of the knights, but the group told the knights about Ray's department and they looked for him everywhere but he wasn't found.

Lily had been crying since they were in the carriage and she was still crying thinking that Ray was dead.

All of them were going to be punished when the knights returned but that wasn't the problem, Ray was gone and gone meaning dead.

They just couldn't believe it, why would he go off on his own like that, why would he think he can defeat all those beasts on his own.

'What is driving him that is making him take such useless risk, first was the wolves and now the boars, why was he so stupid' Lily couldn't understand.

...

"Which attack, attack on where, on what" Authur asked but Ray didn't answer.

"Which attack" Alfred shouted.

"You don't have much time, it's just weeks from now" Ray said.

"Which attack, what are you planning to do?"

"Not me, it's the people you met earlier, the two men" Ray said.

"Those two are planning to attack the capital?"

"Not only the two of them, there are actually six, and someone else to behind all of this" Ray said.

"Who is behind it, do you know his name?" Authur asked eagerly.

"I don't, why do you want to know his name, do you know him or have you met him before?" Ray asked.

'No I have not" Authur said quickly and Ray looked at him with suspicious eyes.

"So where are they going to attack and when?" Alfred asked.

"They are going for the capital and if they capture it, it's over" Ray said.

"The capital, do you know how they plan to captured the capital?" Authur asked.

"Oh, now you do believe me, what happened to the torture?" Ray asked.

"We do not yet believe you" Authur said.

"You are still coming back with us for proper check, to see if you are lying or not"

'Shit, what would I do to escape from here, I need to think of a way to get out of this situation'

"We'll rest here today and return back to the academy first thing tomorrow morning" Authur said and all the knights seems to agree with him.

They were planning to stay here over night, he had so many plans to escape, most of them is just unacceptable.

...

"Lily, are you still waiting for him?" Arya asked.

"He going to come back, I just know it" Lilly said.

"What of he's in trouble and needs help, huh"

"Lily if Ray wanted to come back, he would have done so already, you need to sleep" Martha said.

"Tomorrow we can look for him if you want Lily but I doubt you would find him" Crystal said.

Lily laid on her bes but sleep eluded her but she forced her self to sleep when she remembered something.

"The beast, infected beasts" Lily shouted making the girls open their eyes.

"Lily what wrong?" Arya asked.

"Arya remember what I told you about my mum, that she was a powerful mage"

"Yes I remembered, but how is that relevant now?"

"I told you she was attacked by a strange beast who killed she and many others, what if the beast was an infected beast" Lily said.

"Wait, you are right, and if you are right does this means infected beasts had been all this while, then why didn't they attack since?"

"What are you girls talking about?" Crystal asked.

"My mum was a mage, she was killed in one of her quest as an adventurer, but she was killed by a beast along with many others but almost all the details were buried like they were trying to hide it" Lily explained.

"So that means she was killed by an infected beast many years ago" Martha said.

"Yes" Lily replied.

"Then why haven't the infected beast been attacking all this while, I mean why now?" Martha held her chin.

"The capital" Lily said.

"The capital, what's wrong with the capital?" Crystal asked.

"The capital is going to be attacked, what Ray said is true" Lily said.

"Ray told you that the capital is going to be attacked, by who?"

"The person who is responsible for infecting beasts, maybe the beasts hasn't been attacking because they weren't ready" Lily said.

"That is just an assumption, everything just now is an assumption, you don't really know of an infected beast killed your mum, and how did Ray know that the capital is going to be attacked" Crystal said.

"Well, he had a vision of it"

"He had a vision that the capital is going to be attacked, and then he goes away, what if he's with the other people"

"What other people?" Lily asked.

"I don't know, isn't this too suspicious, Ray left on his own to face a beast that the knights were battling, is it normal for a first year students to do that"

"What do you mean by that, are you trying to say Ray might be working with them" Lily shouted.

"It's just an assumption, it's not real, but how would he just go to the forest to attack boars when we were all safe, what is he trying to do"

"Crystal, if you say one more word am going to get really angry with you" Lily shouted

"Girls, calm down, we are all just worried because Ray is gone" Arya tried to calm them down.
