.
The rest of the Joeans are killing the vampires at great length that it only remain few of them but same could not be said for their leaders.
Only few of the Joeans are dead and those that nee-ded urgent treatment were treated by the Julian and the rest of the medical staff.
After Jayden killed Josette he moved closer to Joana to killed her as well.
Josephine saw him moving closer to Joana while Joana did nothing to protect herself.
As Jayden raised his sword to slash Joana, josephine quic-kly draw out an arrow and shoot at him which hit him on the shoulder.
Josephine ran closer to him then create a big fireball then throw it at him and Jayden couldn’t dodge it on time then it hit him to the ground.
” Josette?……Oh MY God…..I’m so sorry Joana” Josephine said as she got to Joana crying on the ground.
Josephine stood up to look for Jayden but she couldn’t find him.
She looked all over but couldn’t find him but she knows he’s still around.
Jayden ran out towards her with speed from the back and Josephine knew immediately then she skillfully turned then thrĆ»-st the sword in him.
Jayden screamed out loud in pain but he didn’t burn which surprised Josephine.
Jayden kick her which sĀ£nt her to the ground.
” you know……i still don’t know who you are, or how you bec@mĀ£ a Joean like that bastard boy but there’s something that’s so familiar about you” Jayden said.
” you talk too much” Josephine said then charge towards him and he punched her very ha-rd which sĀ£nt her back on the ground.
” Nons-en-se, you can’t kill me……I’m immortal…..i cannot be killed” Jayden said.
” As I was saying before you rudely interrupted me, that look in your eyes I’ve seen it before and if I’m right…….. you must be the late Joey’s daughter” Jayden said as Josephine gr0@nin pain.
” how is your mother?…….what’s her name?……ummm….Ashley isn’t it?” Jayden said.
” I know she was pregnant and you know what…….I searched for her for years but couldn’t find her, not to help her but to kill her” Jayden said.
” but luckily she stayed off the radar ma-king it difficult to find her but it seems destiny can never be averted it can only be delayed” Jayden said.
” I’m the only one that actually protect them in the fortress, I’m the only one that care about the law and the people but others think I’m the bad one” Jayden said.
Jayden picked up her sword then move closer to her as Josephine draw back.
” you maybe I should share something with you before I sĀ£nd you to your father” Jayden said.
” I’m the reason your father died twenty years ago, all this shouldn’t have happened, I hated the way the your father rule, so I stole the only thing he nee-ds to imprison the vampires forever to prevent that from happening but it seems your father always have his way and he did the most heroic thing a leader would do” Jayden said which got Josephine so angry.
” he sacrificed himself, I really admired him for that, I love the br@very act and I really hate it to be the one to actually re-lease the vampires, so that’s it” Jayden said.
” so story time is over” Jayden said then raised his sword then made to slash her but she holds the sword.
” you took him away from me, you took him away from my mother, you made me fatherless even before I was born, you didn’t even let him see his child before he died” Josephine said crying and angry at the same time.
Then the anger overc@mĀ£ her as all her bĀ©dy turn into flame, Jayden moved back in fear as he saw this.
He tried to run but Josephine hit him with fire which sĀ£nt him ha-rd on the ground.
He stood up again then throw a very big fireball at her and she shielded herself from it.
She create a fire spear and throw it at him which he managed to dodge, then she created many more and throw it at him but unfortunately he couldn’t dodge it all and two hit him to the ground.
She moved closer to him then gr-ab him by his nĀ£Ā¢k then pu-ll him up.
” you are an abomination, people like you aren’t supposed to be born” Josephine said.
Josephine gr!ppĀ£dhis head firmly by her two hand and started burning him from the inside out and Jayden screamed out loudly in pain.
He keep screaming in pain as he tried to re-lease himself but he couldn’t then he started burning.
Josephine moved back as he burns till no p@rt of him was left, then she calmed down and she c@mĀ£ back to normal.
All the vampires are dead and they all went into the Doomcity and help the other.

With what Joseph just experienced, it stir up something in him, he feels like something wanted to bur-st out.
” it doesn’t matter, how many of my soldiers you killed, I can always make more till we dominate the world” DeVoe said then he noticed Joseph growling .
Joseph started rolling on the ground ma-king a growling sound and DeVoe wondered what could be happening .
Joseph felt like something within him want out and he could feel it coming out.
Joseph rolled on the ground for a minute more and DeVoe was surprised and shocked to see him turn to a Lion, bigger than an average Lion.
” Gggggrrrrrrrrrrr” he roared loudly facing DeVoe, the vampires and the Joeans stĀ©p fighting and looked at them.
” Impossible” the muttered.
DeVoe tried his vamp-speed to run and the Lion ran after him, then jumped and push him down.
DeVoe tried to stand up and the Lion sqeezed his leg and put it off which cause DeVoe to scream out in pain.
The Lion moved to the other leg and pu-ll it off as well ma-king him scream out again.
It did the same to both his hands as well then went to re-move his head but couldn’t then it roared loudly again.
After a while it turned back to Joseph with lightening sparking out of his eyes.
you still can’t kill me, I’m immortal……it’s only a matter of time before I return back to normal”
DeVoe said smiling.
Joseph went back and pick up his scepter and c@mĀ£ back at him.
” perhaps you’ve forgotten that every Vampires has one undeniable thing in common” Joseph said.
” and what is that?” DeVoe asked.
” Death with a stake to the heart” Joseph said then turned his scepter into a wooden staff then coax it with lightening then plunge it into his heart.
At first the nothing happened which cause DeVoe to smile then suddenly smoke started coming out of him.
The same happened to the rest of the vampires and after a while they all bur-st out and vaporised.
Joseph looked around and saw that the same happened to the vampires then Josephine and the others c@mĀ£ to him.
” how are you feeling?” Josephine asked.
” don’t worry…..I’m fine” Joseph said.
” let’s take back our fallen soldiers to the fortress and give them a proper burial ” Joseph said then they all went back to the fortress.

After they buried them all at the cemetery Joseph went to his chamber trying to calm himself.
A knock c@mĀ£ to his door which he replied to and Josephine and Joana entered.
” Joseph, you don’t have to beat yourself up cause of what happened, you tried your best”
Josephine said.
” Josephine is right, JOE” Joana added.
” if not for your idea to split up a lot would have died ” Josephine said.
” I’m sure my sister is at peace wherever she is, she will be happy we won the war so her death is not in vain” Joana said.
so get yourself together Lion JOE, you nee-d to address the people” Josephine said.
” Okayy……thank you, both of you” Joseph said then stood up and went out.
He got to the hall and met everyone presĀ£nt waiting for him, immediately they saw him they all went silent.
” Joeans, I know we lost few of our people, and we won the war…….i just want you to know that their death is not in vain” joseph said then continue.
” their sacrifice is for us to have freedom, their sacrifice is for the whole world to be at peace” he said then continue.
” the whole world is happy because of them, they are heroes and their memories linger on, they should be celebr@ted” he said then continue.
” in a time like this we are not supposed to be moody or down with sorrow, we should celebr@te cause we won the war” he said.
” tomorrow here, let their be a grand celebr@tion for them, and it will be so every year to be reminded of this day” Joseph said and everyone cheered.
” L’chaim the Lion JOE” they all chorused.

(two days later)
.
Joseph and Josephine went back to his house and they knocked then after a while Ashley opened the door.
” Mom” Josephine said then went to hvg her.
” oh my baby, I was so worried” Ashley said.
” I’m fine mom” she said then they disĀ£ngage.
” How are you Joseph?” Ashely said embr@cing him as well.
” I’m fine” Joseph replied.
” thanks for bringing her back to me” Ashley said.
” you’re welcome” Joseph said.
.
They entered and rested while Josephine narrate everything to her mother.
Ashley also told Joseph that his half-siblings c@mĀ£ to check on him and she told them he’s not around.
Joseph knew they will be worried about him so he went to their house.
Immediately he entered he saw both Luke and Nancy in the living room and they were surprised to see him.
” Joseph?…..you’re back” Nancy said then c@mĀ£ to hvg him.
” hy Nancy” he said then they disĀ£ngage.
” hey bro” Luke greeted.
” I’m good ” he replied.
” we dropped by your house two days ago but we saw a lady in your house, and she said you are not around” Luke said.
” yeah, I went to do something urgent and the lady is just a friend staying with me for some time”
he said.
” did dad know about that? ” he asked.
” of course not, I figures you wouldn’t want him to know” Luke said and he smiled.
” thanks man” Joseph said.
Nancy went to inform her parent about Joseph’s visit and they c@mĀ£ downstairs to greet him including the granny.
Mr Edwards told him how his visit to Nigeria was and how he apologized to his mother for two weeks before she finally forgave him.
Since everything has been cleared Joseph finally accepted him as his father.
Mr Edwards promised to pick up the role of a father and do everything he could for him and Joseph thank him for that.
.
The next day Joseph and Josephine were in the parlour watching a soap opera, then something seems to be bothering Josephine.
” Joseph” she called.
” hmmm” he replied engrossed to the TV screen.
” don’t you think we should talk about that k!ss?” she said then he turned to her.
” oh that, okay……let’s talk” Joseph said turning to her.
” No you say something first” she said then Joseph draw closer to her.
” actually…..i don’t think there’s anything to talk about” he said then they drew more closer till theirl-ips met and he k!$$Ā£d her pas-sionately, taking in the warmth and softness of herl-ips.
They are still at it and without them noticing, Ashley walked in on them.
” Ohhh” she exclaimed as she saw them and they disĀ£ngaged.
” sorry mom” Josephine said smiling.
” it’s okay….it’s okay, joseph mind if I see you for a bit” Ashley said.
” Alright” Joseph said then they went to the backyard.
” I see you and my daughter are starting to be a thing” Ashley said smiling.
” sorry for that” Joseph said.
” Nah it’s okay,….it’s just that I can’t have you two living un-der the same roof while you’re a thing”
Ashley said.
” if you want us to stĀ©p, we will right away” Joseph said.
” that’s not what I meant…….actually it’s not appropriate in this situation so I wanted you to know it will be best if we have our own ap@rtment” she said.
” oh now I get it” Joseph said.
” good, I will start looking for any available house for us to move into” Ashley said.
” you don’t have to worry about that……i will arrange that for you” Joseph said.
” I’m glad you un-derstand ” she said then they entered back.
____________________________________________
Weeks later Ashley and her daughter moved into their new house, joseph also connected her to Mrs Edwards and she helped her find a job.
Josephine also continued her education in Harris High School and she and Joseph continue their love life.
On holiday he went to Nigeria to visit is mother and the Richa-rd s, he spent about a month with them before coming back to America.
Joseph finally made his decision to stay in America even after his studies, so he will be able to attend to the Joeans.
Joseph and Josephine visit the Jo-fortress regularly to make things in order.
He also made a rule that anyone over 18years can be allowed to visit the outside world so he won’t be the only one with that benefit.
The Joeans remained a hidden world to the humans.
The secret behind Joseph being the Lion JOE remain a mystery to everyone, though some said he is a descendants of one of the previous JOE’S.
While some said the spirit of all the past JOE’S are combined in one in Joseph.
Though there could be a truth in that but no one knows, so I guess he should be called JOSEPH
The Mysterious Lion JOE.
