    Savannah
    I adjusted my dress as I walked to his ward, I felt nervous which was not me at all. I adjusted my hair and walked in….

    ‘Holy fuck!’ I exclaimed closing my eyes.

    ‘Are you nuts! Don’t you know how to knock?!’ He yelled.

    ‘Are you suppose to be half naked in a hospital!!!’ I yelled back with back turned.

    ‘It’s my ward!!! The sign on the door clearly says “knock before entering” can’t you bloody read!!!’
    ‘That’s it!’ I turned around and cocked my hips, he had already dragged his pants up.

    ‘Are you going to keep looking at me?’ He asked frowningly, flat chest.

    ‘Look at you, flat idiot with nothing to show for. At your age your chest is running best wall award when your age mates are winning brawny hunk gods…you dare call yourself a Greek god? Have you seen Ace’s chest? You should see my brother’s…. Oh father Lord! You should see Percy and Zachary, the hottest guys on earth,’ I rolled my eyes and hissed.
     ‘And you’re here forming….what are you doing?’ I asked alerted as he walked to me, I backed off.

    ‘Don’t worry, I will only kill you and no one will know, you slipped…’ I folded my arms challengingly and glared at me. He stopped and tilted his head quizzically. ‘Your boldness and confidence is annoying,’

    ‘My niche,’

    ‘Nevertheless,’ he walked to me and carried me on his shoulder, I didn’t fight it. He threw me on the bed and smirked, I arched a brow at him. ‘You look like a chair, that’s nice.’

    ‘What do you mean by….what are you doing?….hey help me!’ He pinned me down and sat on my head. ‘Ew!!! Get your smelly ass off my head!!!’ I screamed, I kept screaming while struggling but hell no! He meant business. I could tell he wasn’t adding his full weight but he was still heavy, my head was starting to hurt. Please, stand up.’ I pleaded.

    ‘No,’ he deadpanned. ‘Apologize for being so rude.’

    ‘I’m sorry,’ I apologized, I was going to cry soon. He stood up and swat my head. I shift to the end of the bed and cried, the tears kept flowing out.

    ‘Hey, stop crying,’ he said softly putting a hand on my shoulder.
     ‘I’m sorry, hey, I don’t like crying people…’ I increased my wail, he carried my feather light body back into the bed and cuddled me. ‘I’m sorry, I won’t do that again.’

    ‘Promise?’

    ‘You’re just so annoying and….’ I cried more. ‘Fuck! Ok ok, I promise I won’t sit on your head again.’ I sobbed, my body shaking. He wiped my tears and stroke my back.

    ‘I’m sorry, I’m born to annoy people…’

    ‘Are you the last child?’ I nodded. ‘Only girl?’ I nodded again. ‘Who pampers you most?
    ‘Daddy, grandpa and big brother,’ I said with a small voice. He chuckled.

    ‘No wonder,’ he said chucklingly and pinched the bridge of my nose. ‘You know, your annoying attitude reminds me of my late dog….’

    ‘Late dog!’ I snorted moving away from him, he pulled me back and tickled my side, I giggled and pouted. ‘My dog was my best friend, the only person I really loved….’

    ‘You just said person,’ I stated the obvious.

    ‘Yes, worth one.’

    ‘Why didn’t you marry her,’ I said jokingly.

    ‘He, it was a he.’

    ‘Gay,’

    ‘Seriously?’ He chuckled. I felt something ticklish on my back, it was him. His hand had slipped into the back of my key hole neckline top, his index finger making circles on the skin of my lower back. My heart started beating, his rich Cologne suddenly making itself known. My mind registered the fact that he was shirtless, such spotless skin. I bit my lower lip blushingly and teased his chest with my fingers, he groaned, I pretended to not know what I’m doing to him. ‘What have I missed in school? You’re a social student so we share similar classes.’

    ‘Yeah, I can help you, teach you,’ I suggested.

    ‘That would be great, thanks,’ he said under his breath. Then it hit me. I pulled away from him and peered at him suspiciously.

    ‘How did you know I’m a commercial student?’ He wasn’t expecting that question, he shifted slightly and itched the scruff of his neck. ‘You’ve seen me before, haven’t you?’

    ‘Who wouldn’t notice the pink haired girl whose voice is always loud, makes all the teachers laugh their ass out and dresses like a lunatic,’ he said with questioningly brows. I looked down at my outfit, I wore a baggy sweat dress, a turban and Arabian trousers. I also wore sneakers boots and a scarf.

    ‘Do I dress like a lunatic?’ I asked confusedly. He wiggled his brows, I frowned childishly. ‘Goat,’ I hit his head.

    ‘Sorry, my head no longer hurts….can we go to the teaching now?’

    ‘I’m a dunce,’ I said with feign sadness.

    ‘You answer almost every questions in class,’ he said sneeringly. ‘Does this ring a bell?’ He stood up and cocked his hips to the right sassily, folded his right hand under his breast area, placed his left elbow on it, and tapped his lips with his index finger. His brows were furrowed in concentration and lips puckered up. I laughed and slapped my lap, that’s the impression I make whenever I’m trying to solve or answer a difficult question. ‘See.’

    ‘How long have you been noticing me?’ I asked excitedly.

    ‘How long have you been in school? It’s not hard to notice you.’ I giggled and fanned myself dreamily.

    ‘You’re crushing on me,’ I whispered
    ‘Here we go again.’ He sighed, in conclusion we ended up arguing about it before he gave up and I taught him and then we argued over a game again.

    He’s perfect

    NEXT DAY
    I proudly flaunt my phone in dad’s face, I was so happy, I felt somehow excited like it was my boyfriend that bought me a new phone. Dad was tired of glaring at me, why was I taunting him? When my phone was giving me problems, he made fun of it but now I had a new one, he accidentally cooked his. His phone was on the breakfast table, his hand on his cheek as he stared at his delicious phone. I laughed and sighed.

    ‘Maglificent!’ Savannah shouted barging into the kitchen, she looked hot, really hot. Wait, Maglificent? ‘What’s up best!’ She hugged me, she wore a Nigh neck glitter mess dress, glowing earrings and a patek Philippe ladies complicated watch. She normally don’t go so flashy so what’s up?

    ‘Are you alright?’

    ‘No, I’m not alright,’ she squealed. She pushed me away and went to hug dad. ‘Good morning dad,’ he nodded. ‘What’s this?’ She asked poking the phone.

    ‘He cooked his phone,’ I said gigglingly.

    ‘Is it delicious?’ She asked trying to pick it up. I laughed and grinned. ‘Anyways, I spent yesterday with Mace, taught him all he have missed out in school…I’m his tutor for the mean time,’ she said blushingly. ‘He’s just so cute….’

    ‘Are you crushing on him?’ I asked teasingly. She giggled and covered her cheeks, she’s crushing hard. ‘Did you guys fight again?’

    ‘Oh we did,’ she said dreamily. ‘He sat on my head because I insulted him, then I cried and he pet me then touched me and we argued and I taught him and then we argued again, he’s so cute.’ She’s so liking him.

    ‘Somebody’s going to get her heart broken,’ I sang. She twirled and giggled which made no sense but I don’t think she cares. ‘Come on, we’re running late.’ I picked my bag and walked out, she ran after me with dad’s cooked phone.

    ‘How come this didn’t explode?’ She asked herself as she licked it.

    ‘Savannah,’ I drawled.

    ‘Whaaaaat?’ She said exaggeratedly. ‘No food is to go to waste….’

    ‘That’s not food!’

    ‘Yes it is,’ she pouted.

    ‘No it’s not,’ I argued. She stomped her feet but howled in pain, hopping to the cab as she chanted “heels, heels, heels.”

    She’s hopeless.

    Ace
    I stared plainly at every girl that waved at me, I wasn’t in the mood to flirt with any girl but the sweetheart that helped me. She was late, very late. The corner of my lips twitched up as I heard that annoying voice, blabbing and blabbing. I looked at the hall, the new peacemaker dragging herself in front of the talkative who looked very excited. I pushed myself off her locker which I was leaning on and shoved my hands into my pockets. She smiled as her gaze met mine.

    ‘Testicle,’ she called loudly, hasting her steps to get to me quicker.

    ‘Genital,’ I called back. She rolled her eyes.

    ‘Did you two switch brains?’ She asked sarcastically glaring at the grinning girl over her shoulder. I chuckled.

    ‘Hey Prick!’ Savannah exclaimed, pushing her out of the way. She hugged me, she’s stupid so I won’t be so surprise. Normally I would squeezed her ass like I would do other girls but I fear this one. She pulled away and slapped me thrice. ‘Muscles,’ she felt my arm and grinned. ‘This is muscles! Bye girl!’ She skipped away.

    ‘What is wrong with her?’ I asked as I stared at her amusedly.

    ‘Trust me, you haven’t seen anything yet.’ Genital laughed, I hate her laugh, always unnerves me.

    ‘So, enjoying the new phone?’ I asked looking at everywhere but her.

    ‘It’s amazing,’ she squealed pushing me out of her locker. I looked at her, a big grin on her face and glint in her eyes. ‘I spent all night making out with it.’
    ‘When last did a boy buy you something nice or something at all?’ I asked amusedly, she sucked on her lower lip, her cheeks flushing. She cleared her throat.

    ‘Three years,’ she said with a croak voice, almost dry and laced with shyness.

    ‘Wow, no wonder you’ve been using that quack phone for years,’ I said mockingly. She smiled and glared at me from the corner of her eyes.

    ‘Mock me again and I’ll make you fail miserably,’ I laughed nervously.

    ‘Sorry ma,’ I apologized. She shut her locker and walked off, I followed her.

    ‘So, how did it go?’

    ‘How did what go?’ I asked feigning ignorance.

    ‘Your sisters, you know the apology thing?’

    ‘Oh that, they forgave me but I have to take them out tomorrow, to catch up with old times,’ I said happily. ‘You wanna come with?’

    ‘Come with? For something as special that? I’ll skip.’

    ‘Maybe another day or soon,’ I murmured. She chuckled and shook her head.

    ‘You’re a handful.’

    Magenta
    Ace and I walked into class together, I greeted the teacher and went to my seat at the back but Ace followed.

    ‘What?’ He asked innocently.

    ‘Can you GI back to your seat?’
    ‘No,’ he deadpanned. I looked around, all eyes were on me, most glares but few just shock. I sighed, i’mma gonna get beaten up soon.
    During class, he was sleeping, why wouldn’t he fail.

    ‘Can someone solve this equation?’ The teacher asked loudly, his angry eyes on a kid sleeping at the front. I tapped Ace.

    ‘Leave me alone,’ he moaned.

    ‘Get up or I’ll draw on your face,’ I threatened.

    ‘Make sure you draw your puss there….’ I slapped his cheek, he sprung up flustered and confuse. I was more embarrassed by his speech. ‘What hit me?’

    ‘Me, stand up and go solve that equation,’ I commanded. He scoffed and went back to sleep. ‘Ace, as your tutor, I order you go solve that or you’ll be punished by more electric bugs.’ He stood up grudgingly, cursing under his breath like a grumpy kid. He walked to the whiteboard and snatched the marker from the teacher’s hand. He looked at the question and solved it while still cursing.

    ‘I know I failed, no need to trouble me,’ he said frowningly.

    ‘Actually, you’re correct.’

    ‘I am?’ He asked plainly.

    ‘Yeah, you’re correct,’ the teacher repeated happily. Ace turned, walked to me and did what I never expected, he pulled me up and hugged me tight.

    ‘I’m correct!’

    It’s official, all the girls will kill me but on the good side, Ace hugged me!!!

    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    It was the last class before school end, I was in the restroom washing my hands after using the toilet. I was smiling brightly, why wouldn’t I smile? I turned off the tap and held each side of the sink, a grin escaping me lips. My magenta eyes glittered, Ace said they are sparkly and extraordinary, he said I’m beautiful and nothing else should matter.

    ‘I’m beautiful, I know I am.’ The door opened, six girls walked in, they scoffed immediately they saw me.

    ‘It’s her, the new bitch in town.’ One scorned.

    ‘She’s not even beautiful, I wonder what he sees in her,’ another chipped in.

    ‘Berwyn is even sexier and richer, poverty stinking bitch,’ my grip on the sink tightened as my eyes watered.

    ‘Looks at her poor dress, ugly troll…’ The one who got to me hit my head.

    ‘You think you’re better than us because Ace is fucking you? Well guess what, he’ll use and dump your fucking expired ass!!!’ The fourth one yelled and pushed me. I fell on the floor, a sob leaving my mouth.

    ‘She’s crying,’ they taunted. I remembered what Savannah said, anytime anyone try to bully me, just compare the scales and believe you’re better. I stood up and looked at all of them, wiping my eyes clean and pressing my lips into a thin line.

    ‘You’re right, I’m poor, classless, ugly and all but you know what,’ I said smirkingly. ‘Mighty leader of the Greek gods, Ace Davison is fucking my cheap ass instead of your expensive one, that have got to hurt.’ I said with a twinkle of my eyes.

    ‘And you think you’re better than Berwyn….’

    ‘There it is, Berwyn, not you all. That proves she’s better than you and I know I’m better than Berwyn which means I’m better than you all as well,’ I cocked my hips which I recently discovered I had. ‘Just take a look at me, I’ve got hips, beauty, style and I’m smart. What do you girls have?’ I taunted.

    ‘Money, we have money….’

    ‘But I have Ace,’ I smirked.
    ‘Bitch!’ The one that pushed me yelled and charged at me, I moved out of the way and slammed her head on the sink.

    ‘Wanna fight, huh?! Well come fight me and see what I’ll do!!!!’ I yelled wvsn though I was scared. I scoffed and walked out, making sure I pushed one out of the way, she hit her head hard but who cares. I broke into a run when I was out of the bathroom, I bumped into Jace.

    ‘Whoa! Where’s the fire!’
    ‘Some girls wanted to beat me up because they think I’m sleeping with him, Ace,’ I gasped. He laughed and patted my head.
    ‘Welcome to the world of The Greek gods, it’s just beginning but I’m sure I can fix that,’ he pulled me with him to the now crowded hallway. ‘Hey people!!!!’ He shouted at the top of his voice, everyone quiet down. Hw wrapped his hand around my shoulders and smirked. ‘This beautiful lady, please stay away from her, both boys and girls or you’ll have me and Ace to deal with.’

    ‘How Is that suppose to….’
    ‘You know we don’t warn people twice,’ he winked at Berwyn who was eyeing me from a corner. ‘And no, she’s not dating Ace, yet.’ He licked his lips and pulled me away.
    ‘You have killed me.’

    ‘I know,’ he laughed. ‘I would have wooed you but Savannah almost stabbed me at lunch when I mentioned it so you’re free but she’s not.’

    ‘Good luck dick head,’ I smiled and walked away from him. Time ri teach Mr Testicle.

    Tynan
    I opened my eyes sharply, jolting to sit. The whole place smelt like a burst of seasons, snowflake, sun, flowers and a keen autumn wind. Flowers sprouted from the walls, the ground a smooth grass but that didn’t matter to me, what mattered was the woman staring at me.
    ‘Mom?’
    ‘Why didn’t you stop her?’ She asked sadly averting her eyes to a pale body on the smooth grass.
    ‘Shit! Summer!’ I stood up and ran to her, her face was on the ground, her hair covering her face. The explosion burnt her dress completely, her skin paler than anything I’d ever seen. ‘What….Summer, wake up!’
    ‘She gave up her life to drag me out,’ mom muttered bitterly. ‘I don’t….’ I looked at her for help, she was staring at her hands with disbelief. ‘I still have my powers? All of them? How is that possible?’ She asked herself. She shook her head and stared at Summer. ‘No,’
    ‘Mom, what did she do?’
    ‘I….I….I….’ She shook her head. ‘I don’t know what she did but…..I don’t know.’
    ‘Gaia!’ I looked at the entrance, dad stood there with disbelief. I looked back at Summer, her words ringing in my head.
    ‘It’s nothing I can’t handle.’
    I shut my eyes, I felt nothing towards her anymore, who was she again? I stood up and folded my arms.
    ‘What do I do with her? Bury her?’
    ‘I don’t know,’ mom murmured. ‘I don’t know.’
    >>>>>>>>>>>>> Nadia <<<<<<<<<<<<<
    I watched as Angus paced our room anxiously, Gale was counting his fingers, Verna crying and Eira just staring into space. Fallon, she stared at all of us with confusion, I couldn’t do anything, it was meant to happen.
    ‘How could you convince our daughter to risk her life like that!!!’ Angus finally exploded. ‘Don’t you care!!!!’
    ‘Dad please…’ Eira tried to speak.
    ‘Don’t interfere young lady!’
    ‘Well don’t yell at my mother old man!!!!’ She yelled back.
    ‘Lumi….’
    ‘No mom, don’t shush me,’ she huffed. ‘What right does he think he have to yell at you?! Who does he think he is!!! Fuck yeah he’s our dad but it’s not like he ever existed in the first place….’
    ‘Eira….’
    ‘Not until a month ago, we thought he was dead….’
    ‘Eira, that’s enough!’ Gale snapped. ‘One more word from you and I’ll shut you up for good!’ He threatened. ‘We should be here worrying about Jennifire and you’re making dad feel like shit. Is it his fault that he wasn’t around! Is it his fault that we know he’s alive now!!! Stop your selfish venting and be reasonable!’ She bit her lower lip.
    ‘Mom, what do we do? I can’t lose Adara, who’ll council me now? Who’s gonna be my best friend? Who’s gonna slap some senses into my head?’ Verna wailed.
    ‘There’s nothing I can do, we just have to wait and hope she survives it. Anila is a strong girl, I will never advice her to do it if she was Eira or Verna. Just hope.’
    ‘What am I suppose to tell my family? What?’ Dad asked shakily.
    ‘Leave that to me, for now, let’s just hope.’

    Summer
    Nine_Months_Later
    I skipped to his study gigglingly, I had my cute white bunny in my arms, I call her Clover. I met Alfredo on the way.
    ‘Good morning Alfredo Delgado!’ I squealed. He chuckled.
    ‘Morning Miss Summer, how did you sleep?’
    ‘I slept very well. Is he in?’
    ‘He’s busy…’
    ‘He’s all work and no play, I’ll fix that. Can you m….’
    ‘Make you blueberry scones, chocolate muffins and vanilla tea for breakfast? No, Master forbids you from having another sip or bite or nibble of chocolate and blueberry. The vanilla tea I can make but the rest, you’re stuck with cinnamon roll, jambalaya and French toast for breakfast. If you wish, I can make stake or bacon.’ He suggested.
    ‘I rather eat cockroaches,’ I whined and stomped to his office. ‘Bigger Clover!’ I cried running in. ‘Alfredo won’t make me….’
    ‘Yes I know.’
    ‘But….’
    ‘Leave my office….’
    ‘But….’ He slammed his book shut and glared at me. ‘The bunny sing tralalala.’ I giggled.
    ‘Summer, I’m busy.’
    ‘Then unbusy, I want to play with you.’ I pouted.
    ‘I can’t play, I’m busy.’ I rolled my eyes. Tynan is my best friend, ever since I woke up from his bed six months earlier, he had always been there for me. He told me I had no family, they all died and he never let me out of the house, always monitoring me like a hawk. I didn’t mind, not until he change a month earlier, keeping his distance away from me and avoiding eye contact. He was guilty.
    ‘You’re tired of me, I understand.’
    ‘It’s not that I’m tired, I’m not, just busy dear.’
    ‘Can I watch TV? On my own?’
    ‘No.’
    ‘Can I at least get a phone?’
    ‘No.’
    ‘Ohhhh!’ I stomped my feet on the ground childishly. ‘You’re not fair, come on Clover, let’s go.’ I ran out of his office, it was like he was hiding me from something. I hid behind the door and waited until Alfredo came back.
    ‘Is she in her room?’ He asked Alfredo.
    ‘No, didn’t check. Don’t you think you’re being selfish by keeping her all to yourself?’
    ‘Alfred, don’t start.’
    ‘No, let me talk sire. I understand you kept her hidden from them because you weren’t sure if she was still alive, she finally woke up but you refuse to tell them or let her go. She lost her memories but would have regained it within seven days if you didn’t selfishly cast a spell on her to forget forever….’
    ‘What’s your point!!! Are you going to try and convince me that I’m in love with her like mom is always trying to!!! I’m only trying to keep her safe!!! Seeing them will cause her a lot of pain….’
    ‘Stop deceiving yourself sire and making excuses, seeing them will restore her memories. You’re afraid she’ll leave you, that they will the consequences will keep her away from you but don’t you think that sooner or later the spell will break?’ What spell? I itched my head in confusion. ‘She deserves to know who she is, they need her back, they all do. Convincing them that she’s dead is wrong, stop.’
    ‘One more word from you Alfred and I’ll rip out your vocal cord. Now get out.’ He spat. I waited until he walked out before I snuck to meet him in the kitchen.
    ‘Alfred?’
    ‘I know you heard everything, I am not allowed to speak or he would kill me.’
    ‘Who’s them?’
    ‘Just find any of the Steinberg and say the name, Anila.’
    ‘I can’t leave the house.’
    ‘You know you can, you don’t have your gift for nothing.’
    ‘But I don’t know how to use it,’ I pouted. ‘Help me?’
    ‘I’m afraid this is as far as I can go.’ I bit my lower lip and ran to my room, I could run really fast and sometimes when I close my eyes and concentrate, I enter mirrors and find myself somewhere else. Tynan always blew a fuse whenever I used it.
    ‘Hi,’ I smiled at my reflection as I stroke Clover’s hair. ‘Where am I concentrating to?’ I mused.

    Verna
    I walked out of the mall laughing with my friends, we went shopping and it was phenomenon. Everything was almost perfect, sure I lost my powers but Cian didn’t and he still loved me. Our relationship trembled a lot but at the end, we fixed it. I finally made three normal friends, Sasha, Megan and Beverley, the sweetest girls in the whole world. We were all rich with celebrities boyfriends and famous siblings, by famous siblings I meant Gale. Hell his face made him a popular model in less than a month after Adara’s “death”, it was all he ever wanted.
    Eventually, he broke up with Fallon but later came begging when he realised that she was the only girl who really understood him.
    Eira, at first she and Dwayne didn’t break up but then he started cheating, trust Eira to show em who’s boss. She really liked him but she didn’t let it get to her, became a model with her still enchanting face, modelled all dad’s important stuffs and helped him with the companies since she’s business minded, made a huge name for herself within five months. Went to various parties and hung around guys far more hotter than Dwayne, ones she knew he was envious of and that was how she trapped him back. She is the boss of her relationship.
    ‘So, how are you all planning your birthdays?’ Beverley asked grinningly, Megan nudged her roughly. It was too late, my shoulders sagged immediately. Mom manipulated everything to make it seem like Adara was abducted and never found, though we knew what was up. It was hard for me there was no one there to share secrets with me.
    ‘Hey, don’t do that…’ Sasha whispered, they didn’t know her but they were aware enough. I wiped my tears and smiled.
    ‘It’d be great I guess,’
    ‘You should all move on, the babe’s dead.’ Beverley shrugged, I smiled, she’s too straightforward.
    ‘We’ll make it a huge party, all the stars and….’ They squealed.
    ‘What?’ I laughed.
    ‘Isn’t Gale Tynan Nore’s best friend? He can invite him!’
    ‘He hates parties, he won’t come.’
    ‘I wanna meet that mysterious masked girl be brought to the label opening months ago, she looks cute. Megan giggled.
    ‘I heard they are married,’ Sasha gossiped. I chuckled ans gasped as my eyes landed on a girl staring at my car. She had long red hair, a nice figure with a bunny in her arms. ‘Excuse me,’ I hurried to her, something pulling me closer. ‘Hey, who’re you?’ She turned, her golden yellow eyes glowing.
    ‘Hello,’ her voice, it was just like Adar’s. ‘Are you the owner of this car?’ Her eyes, I dropped my shopping bags and quickly checked her neck, nothing. ‘Hello?’
    ‘I’m sorry. This car is mine,’ I said disappointedly. ‘Who are you?’
    ‘I’m….’
    ‘Miss Nore,’ a huge man called. A set of red suited men trooped behind him. ‘We need to leave now.’
    ‘But Alfredo, I haven’t found anything yet,’ she whined hugging her bunny.
    ‘He’s looking for you and damn me when he gets to know what I did, please let’s go, I can’t hide your location for long.’ She pouted and looked at me.
    ‘Bye stranger,’ she murmured and followed the men to a freaky expensive limousine, one I didn’t notice there before.
    ‘She must be really rich.’ Beverley whispered.
    ‘Yeah,’ I smiled, it was her.

    # Tynan
    I huffed as I paced my room, Alfred had never disobeyed me before but he was because he wanted me to be happy. I sighed, accepting that I loved her was harder than smiling to everyone. The worse was feeling guilty for taking advantage of her.
    ‘Hey man!’ I chuckled, he was here again. ‘What’s up?’
    ‘How did you get into my house again? I thought I changed all the locks and asked all the guards and dogs to kill you at sight?’ He chuckled and plopped on the chair.
    ‘I’m not easy to kill,’ he grinned. ‘Where’s my sister?’
    ‘She ran away.’
    ‘What!’
    ‘Chill, Alfred is bringing her back.’ Yeah, Gale knew she was with me, he might have lost his powers but his telepathic strength was still strong. Plus, he was like an annoying boyfriend I couldn’t lie to. He came to visit me, saw her and knew instantly.
    ‘When are you returning her to us?’
    ‘Until she’s better.’
    ‘When are you going to stop lying to me?’
    ‘Three years time.’
    ‘Dude, stop manipulating her with your powers. You’re messing my sister up.’
    ‘I’m not messing her…’
    ‘You sleep with her almost every night and make her forget it. I don’t like that and don’t lie, I know. She’s my sister bro, stop messing her up before she carries a Tynan junior in there.’
    ‘I don’t know….’
    ‘Stop shitting yourself, you’re in love. I want my sister back, you’ve enjoyed her enough.’
    ‘I haven’t….I don’t know what you’re talking about.’
    ‘Nigga, keep your destroyer away from my sister.’ He laughed.
    ‘Bigger Clover!!!’ She ran into my room. ‘Bi….Big brother!’ She ran to Gale and threw herself on him.
    ‘How are you?’
    ‘Not fine, he won’t let me out so I ran away.’ She’s too childish.
    ‘Did he sneak into your room last night?’ She nodded. ‘And he touched you?’ She nodded. My eyes widened.
    ‘It was nice,’ she giggled. ‘Weird but why don’t he take permission?’
    ‘Gale! What have you been teaching her!’
    ‘Life bro, life. Babe, let me take you out, we’re going to meet our mom and restore your memories.’
    ‘But…’ I protested.
    ‘Almost a year bro, you’re not ready for marriage.’ I chuckled.
    ‘And you are?’
    ‘Fuck no, that shit is a bastard.’
    ‘Please don’t take her away from me.’
    ‘And that’s the thing, no one is. She’s always here if you need her but for now, she’s leaving.’ The main reason I was scared, the consequences of her actions was either her heart became as cold as stone or she lost her sanity. She not having her memories was the only way out for her. Watching her sleep, taking care of her made me felt something towards her but I was afraid she would hate me after she regained her memories.
    ‘What memories?’
    ‘Maybe we should tell her,’ Gale concluded. He sat her down and explained everything to her, not leaving a side out. I watched them helplessly, fear making me woozy. ‘That’s it.’
    ‘So if I regain my memories I might hate everything and everyone?’ I nodded. ‘Including Tynan bestie?’
    ‘Especially him.’
    ‘But I don’t want to hate him or be insane, I want to be happy with him and everyone.’ She sobbed.
    ‘See, she don’t need her memories.’
    ‘Tynan, she loves you a lot, you should believe in that like I believed in Fallon.’
    ‘You ditched the girl!’ I exclaimed.
    ‘You know what I mean, trust her.’ I sighed, I walked to her and crouched.
    ‘Please don’t hate me,’ I kissed her, letting the spell flow out of my lips and into her head. She pushed me off and gagged. ‘Summer?’
    ‘Gross, Tynan, why did you kiss me! Gale you just st….why am I wearing this? Is this skirt!’ She screamed frantically.
    ‘Summer,’ I tried to touch her. She shifted. ‘Yeah, trust.’
    ‘Oops, sorry.’ Gale laughed.
    ‘Back to square one,’ I whimpered. ‘She don’t….’
    ‘How many times will I say it’s nothing I can’t handle?’ She asked smirkingly. I blinked. ‘Don’t ever delete my memories dude, or I’ll delete you.’ She shrieked and clapped. ‘I have to see mom and dad and Verna! Bye guys!’ She disappeared.
    ‘What was that?’ I asked baffled.
    ‘Do you really think she’ll forget like that? She’s Jennifire. She will never do anything if she’s not fully sure. She’ll be fine and she don’t hate you. I see love but, she’s going to kill you for touching her and wiping her memories of it.’ I laughed nervously.
    ‘How bad?’
    ‘Dead bad, you’re in soup.’
    I’m sure it’s not that bad.

    FOUR DAYS LATER
    # Gaia
    I laughed as I watched Tynan struggle with a tree. Ayanna tied him to a tree, lit fire under it and then her sisters and that crazy girl ran around it chanting spells. They were going to sacrifice him to nothing. I was finally at peace knowing everything was okay, I almost ruined everything with my selfishness.
    ‘Darn it! Why can’t I use my powers!’ He cried as they flogged him. She was still powerful, not as before but strong enough to temporarily weaken his mighty powers. They were perfect for each other.
    ‘I’ve told you to stop prying.’ Nysaiah sighed blinding my mirror.
    ‘Hey! I’m missing the show!’ He arched a brow at me. ‘Fine, their lives are just too fun to watch.’
    ‘You should focus more on how we would rebuild Arundel completely and not pry on his relationship.’
    ‘Yeah, sorry, about everything.’
    ‘You keep apologizing, stop it.’
    ‘I manipulated Jasmine into thinking she was in love with him so she could remove my heart, make me very powerful, anger you so everything else would go as planned. I was selfish, unreasonable….’
    ‘Past, don’t remind me.’
    ‘So many died,’ I sobbed.
    ‘Would you prefer I lock you up for treason against Arundel? Your crimes are huge.’ I sealed my lips.
    Once upon a time I wanted power, but once upon a not so long ago, someone special stopped me from making an everlasting mistake. I can never be more grateful.

    Magenta
    Savannah bought our food as she ranted about how wicked her grandfather is to ruin her morning with his annoying phonecalls. He asked her to get hitched with some rich dude or get married or he’ll use her as means to strengthen a bond between a business partner and him. Just like his father, Fransisco was more interested in movies, directing and scriptwriting. Gosh! That guy can write one hell of a script! Started writing at six and all his stories made so much sense, one of the reason his dad became more popular. He was already building his dad’s movie empire and assisting his mother with the cosmetic company at the same time because those things were his niches. He also had a book site, one with different kinds of ebooks you can think of from him and other writers, he was making a fortune at his age.

    Now Savannah’s dad owned a freaking large empire, technology or something, I’m not sure but his older brother was the heir so he was free to follow his movie passion. Unfortunately, his brother died when Savannah was just a year old, the man was childless. Hold on, his wife was a cheat, three amongst his children belonged to other men but the only one who was his blood was useless. At first it didn’t show because they were still kids then but when we were fourteen, the guy who was eighteen showed off his stupidity. He was a drug addict, criminal and rapist, don’t know where he got his bad shit from. Her grandfather disowned him after he got arrested for rape, he broke out of jail and attacked with a gun, killed Savannah’s grandmother in the process. The hell it was hard on them, he died though so Savannah was made the heiress.

    ‘I don’t care a shit! Is it by force to get a d….’

    ‘Please,’ I sighed before she swore.

    ‘Sorry, I’m fucking eighteen for crying out loud!’ She exclaimed again as she paid for the food. ‘Because I’m the miserable heiress, does it mean I won’t live the way I want!’

    ‘Just tell your dad about it….’

    ‘Have you met my grandfather! He’s impossible and stony hearted, dad don’t have a say in his biz. The moment I wore the ring, I became his property….’

    ‘The one thing I know is that they all love you and would do anything to make you happy. Go to your grandfather, cry like the baby you are and he’ll let you go,’ I said softly as we walked to our table.

    ‘Or I can get a boyfriend,’ she smirked looking towards Ace³ table. Berwyn and co were there including the sexy cheer captain.
    ‘Don’t even think about it…and she’s gone,’ she was already walking to them. I sighed and went to our table to watch the scene.

    ‘Testicle!’ She shrieked, Ace hit his head on the table immediately. Jace laughed. ‘What’s up?!’ She popped smacking his head.

    ‘Get your hands off my….’

    ‘Please, I didn’t come here for you so mind your business or I mind it for you,’ she warned Berwyn with a lopsided smirk. Berwyn looked away angrily. ‘Testicle, move….’ She trailed off and pushed him off the chair with her butt, she sat down and crossed her legs. ‘Hi everyone, I’m Savannah.’ She said gigglingly, Jace saluted while Mace just shrugged. The cheer captain, Quincy who was a nice person smiled in acknowledgment.

    ‘Can’t you sit somewhere else?’ Ace huffed standing up. ‘This is my spot….’

    ‘Did your dad buy it?’ She asked with an eye roll.

    ‘You’re annoying,’ he sat down close to Jace and looked around until his eyes met mine. He frowned and pointed to his eyes, reminding me about his “don’t wear lens” rule. I sighed and removed the lens, I kept it back in it box and into the pocket of my hoody. He nodded in approval and used his index finger to command me to come.

    ‘No,’ I mouthed.

    ‘Should I come there and bundle you?’ He asked with sign language, of course I knew it. he wasn’t expecting me to. I rolled my eyes, oblivious of the fact that many were watching our little mute conversation.

    ‘Have you ever thought about bundling yourself to Africa? It would do you good.’ I signed back. He gasped and then smirked.

    ‘So you use this too, what else do you know how to do Maglificent, ” he smirked as he signed that. I shrugged.

    ‘I guess you’ll have to find out with time, that’s if I let you know.”

    ‘Now that’s a challenge I’m ready to take!” He stood up, his smirk widening. I gulped, was he coming here?

    ‘What are you doing?’ I signed in panic.

    ‘Sit there and wait,’ he signed as he made his way to me. I huffed and carried my bag, I sprinted to the door with high hope that I would get away but damn his athletic legs. I yelped as my body whipped in air and crashed on strong shoulder, my head hitting his back hard. ‘Hello Maglificent…’
    ‘Seriously!’ I shrieked. ‘Put me down!’ I commanded with a high pitched voice. He didn’t listen, he carried me to his table and threw me on the floor right next to Olivia’s feet. Olive didn’t waste time, she kicked my mouth intentionally, I screamed and stood up with the speed of lightning. ‘Why did you kick me?!’
    ‘Oops,’ she said sardonically. ‘Didn’t see anything there.’ Ace chuckled, that asshole that love seeing me suffer. He intentionally dropped me there. Savannah splashed her drink on Olive’s face. ‘Hey!’ She screamed jumping to her feet.

    ‘Oops, I thought you were a ghost so I threw that to confirm,’ Savannah said sweetly. ‘I’m not convince,’ she stood up slowly in a very menacing way, making Olive step back in fright. ‘Why are you running? I’m not going to hurt you or anything….’

    ‘What the hell is your problem!!!’ Berwyn flared. ‘Do you think you can just walk in here and claim a spot!!! Bitch, whose dick is giving you such morale to insult us!!!’
    ‘Your dad’s,’ Savannah said smirkingly. ‘He fucks lame though,’ she said with a smug.

    ‘How dare you!!!’ Berwyn roared standing to her feet too, all I could see was that someone was about to get hospitalized and that person was Berwyn. ‘How dare you insult my father!!!!’ She yelled grabbing the neckline of Vana’s collar shirt. Vana giggled and pushed her, she screamed as she fell on Melody who by the way skillfully moved out of the way. I sat down slowly beside Ace and picked Jace’s fry.
    ‘That’s enough!’ Mace exclaimed. ‘I’m trying to eat here!’ Ace who was loving the show chuckled evilly.

    ‘Well, you can tell this bitches to mind their business and not harm my sister….’

    ‘Three bitches and one ugly slut is enough,’ he spat glancing at Quincy. ‘I don’t need a witch with no brains and who seek attention to add to the collection….’

    ‘Uh oh,’ I murmured. The one thing Vana will never take is being called a witch. Call her a candy witch, love witch, sex witch, any witch as long as you don’t call her a brainless witch.

    ‘Can she beat him up?’ Ace whispered into my ear. I momentarily froze, the heat of his breath warmed my ear and send tingles through my veins.

    Put yourself together Magenta.

    ‘M….m….maybe,’ I stammered.

    ‘Good,’ her eyes were almost red, her face had taken her furious pink colour and her folded fists were pink too. ‘Geez, can you see the steam coming out of her ears and nose?’ He whispered again.
    ‘What did you just call me?’ She asked through gritted teeth. He didn’t look at her, he’s just too cold.

    ‘You heard me right,’ Olivia and Berwyn were tittering. It’s rare to get insulted by Mace, strangely enough, all the girls saw it as an honor. He insults you means he noticed you and that’s the hardest thing to achieve in Magnificent High. She smiled, her devilishly smile.

    ‘This ought to be interesting,’ Ace said with much delight as he rubbed his palms together.

    ‘You really like mischief, don’t you?’ I asked amusedly.

    ‘And laughing at others misfortune, especially him,’ I bit my inside cheek. It was me having a normal conversation with him. I kept staring at him, the joy in his eyes and look of anticipation. I forgot I was suppose to stop Vana from doing what she do best but I was too late.

    ‘What the fuck!!!’ Mace yelled, I snapped my head back to them, Vana dumped a trash bin on his head. He stood up and removed the bin, Vana quickly snatched it and whacked his head with it. The force sent him colliding with the table and rolling to the floor with a painful cry. Everyone was in shock, except Ace and Jace who took to laughing their friend’s bad luck.

    ‘The next time you call me a witch, I’ll remove your balls!!!!’ She roared.

    ‘Savannah d….ow!’ She smashed her sneakered foot on his area, causing him to scream out in absolute pain and agony while Ace’s and Jace’s laugh broke out in a much higher jubilant laughter. They fell on the floor, laughing like no man’s business while everyone stared in shock. ‘Let’s go,’ I stood up and went to her. She still got the last kick at his butt before I pulled her away.

    ‘Don’t forget our lesson!!!’ Ace shouted amidst his loud laughter. I counted the seconds until she realised what she’d done, ten seconds. She froze as her pink furious face turned pale and mouth slightly open. She gulped.
    ‘Genital,’ she said with her signature squeaky voice, one she used only when she did something terrible.

    ‘Uhm,’ I hummed turning around to face her.

    ‘Did I just emptied a trash bin on my future boyfriend’s body, whacked him with it and destroyed his generation with my foot?’ She asked with the squeaky voice.

    ‘Yup,’ I popped.

    ‘Oh,’ she said dazedly. ‘That’s unexpected,’ she walked to the empty trash bin close by, knelt down and screamed into it. I allowed her finish screaming before going to her and pulling her up, she was already crying. ‘I’m so screwed!’

    ‘He called you a brainless witch….’
    ‘I still shouldn’t have d…..why am I even feeling bad,’ she scoffed, her voice returning back to normal. ‘He insulted my person. He couldn’t call me a candy witch or tree witch or sexy witch but brainless!’ She squawked. ‘Mtcheeeeeew,’ she hissed and stomped away. Funny, she’s gonna die of guilt but that was hilarious.

    Ace
    Jace and I were still laughing at Mace, it felt so nice to see him in pain. We were at his family hospital, he had received treatment and was conditioned to stay in bed because his dick had gone numb and needed close observation. I needed to get back to school before Maglificent left but mocking him was better.

    ‘Fuck dude, seriously? You got smashed by a girl,’ I laughed.
    ‘Unexpectedly,’ he defended. ‘She attacked me…..’

    ‘Impotent,’ Jace laughed. We both laughed while he stared at us emotionlessly. His younger twin walked in with a worried look. They are like fraternal twins, Mace is three days older. ‘Welcome to laughing zone,’ we laughed and fist bumped.
    ‘Are you mocking him?’ Hanson who prefer to be called Hans asked frowningly. It’s Macedon and Hanson. Mace was named after his grandfather and Hanson after his mother’s late twin.

    ‘Yes, your nigga is impotent now,’ I laughed. He looked at Mace who looked away embarrassedly. ‘He called a psycho a witch, she trashed him with a trash bin, hammered his dumb skull….’

    ‘And footed his chopper man!’ Jace shrieked. We laughed again.

    ‘Wait, let me get this straight,’ Hans said with confusion. ‘My brother got beaten up by a girl and might lose his fertility because she didn’t see the handsome face and want him dead?’

    ‘Yup,’ Jace popped.

    ‘Pretty much,’ I grinned.

    ‘Mace, I love you buuuuuut,’ he burst into laughter.

    ‘Dude, shut up.’ Mace groaned.

    ‘Yeah, I love that girl,’ Hans laughed. We laughed. ‘Look on the bright side, your dreams of becoming a Reverend is going to come true….’

    ‘Fucking hell man!’ I fist bumped him and laughed. ‘Our father in the Lord!’ I shrieked and smacked his broken head. He screamed out in pain.

    ‘Take it easy, he’s a man of God,’ Jace laughed. ‘Reverend Father Macedon Z.A Delacroix of St Macedonia Parish….’ We laughed. He almost cried.

    ‘Don’t worry, the Lord is your strength,’ Hans said in mock condolence as he patted Mace’s shoulder.

    ‘I hate you all,’ he spat venomously.

    ‘Shhhh,’ Jace whispered. ‘Holy men don’t say such.’ We laughed louder, if we didn’t push him to depression, he would kill us.
    ‘I fucking hate all of you!!!!’

    ‘We fucking love ourselves!!!!’ We yelled back and laughed. He pressed the red button. ‘Too bad fucking might not be in your future oh ye Father Macedon.’ We chorused.

    ‘Out!!!’ The nurses ran in. ‘Get them out!!!’

    ‘Won’t we pray before we leave?’ Jace asked laughingly. Mace picked up the stool close to the bed and tossed it at me, I ducked and ran out of the ward. ‘Fuck! That was awesome!’ Jace exclaimed as he ran beside me.

    ‘Is she pretty?’ Hans asked running backwards in front of us. ‘The girl?’ He’s the opposite of Mace, flirty and jovial. More like me.

    ‘She’s damn pretty but she’s a ball of fire,’ I chuckled.

    ‘Just the way I like them,’ he purred and licked his lips. Since he was running backward, he couldn’t see the wheelchair in the way. I stopped running and blocked Jace, the nigga tripped over the damn thing and tumbled to the ground like a twisted bag of cement. I laughed and held my knees.

    ‘Ace! You should have warned him!’ Jace shouted rushing to him.
    ‘Yeah, shoulda, bro, what fun would that be?’ I laughed.

    ‘My arm, I think I broke my arm,’ he cried trying to move his arm. ‘I so fucking hate you!!!’ He yelled.
    ‘And that’s the thing,’ I smirked and shoved my hands into the pockets of my denim jeans. ‘I love myself a lot and my love is all I need. Two hospitalized bros, awesome huh?’

    ‘Fuck you Ace,’ he murmured.
    ‘Tell that to your mother bag of cement.’ I laughed and ran to the elevator. Jace was calling for help. I walked into the free lift and pressed the first floor button; time to torment a certain girl.

    Anita
    Derek: “So how were you able to convince her grandparents? I’m not saying I will agree to that yet o”
    Anita: “Well it wasn’t easy actually but when I told them all she had been through and the fact that she had met them just once before and wouldn’t even recognise them and the fact that she needed stability and I was willing to provide that for her. I could be a mother and you, a father to her. I was the one told them they will continue being her family and will even have more access to her now than they did before”

    Derek: “Hmmmmmm…you are worded mehn! And you are a good woman Annie. I am the luckiest man on earth right now. How did you come about this idea of yours though? I wouldn’t have been able to think of it myself” he was full of admiration for me, making my head swell uncontrollably.
    Anita: “I just don’t want her being sad all her life. I don’t want her to go back to living on edge. And she is already getting used to me. I really like her. I like her very very much I don’t want her out of my reach”
    Derek: “Okay sweetie. Know I am support of whatever you decide to do. We are in this together and we will surely give her the best, help heal those scars in her heart and her body. We will try all we can” he said, holding me against his chest. I could hear his heart pimping aggressively. We were alive, and we were making this decision together. I felt on top of the world, blessed and graced. What patience can do.
    ===
    Rose
    I couldn’t help but overhear their discussion. I could not believe my luck. I who had always gotten rejected, I who had always been mocked and used is now being loved to this extent. I couldn’t contain my joy, I ran out and joined in their embrace even though I was not up to their height.
    Rose: “Thanks Annie. No! thanks mum, I will call you two mum and dad from now on” I said excitedly and they both laughed.

    Anita: “We are more than glad to have you in our lives baby”
    Derek: “I guess we just had a child out of wedlock. Honey please marry me before we become the talk of the town” he said and went on his knees, brought out a ring from his pocket and held it in front of her. “I was going to this later today in a five star hotel but I just can’t postpone it anymore. What better time than now in front of our daughter? Will you marry me Annie?”
    The two of us were dumbfounded…
    Anita and I: “Yes yes yes” we said jumping up. I felt like I was the one being proposed to, I was extremely happy I didn’t know when I said yes yes yes. He slipped the ring into her third finger, I turned away when they started to kiss.
    ===
    Epilogue
    My father’s lawyers tried all they could in court to prove he wasn’t guilty of the charges levelled against him by saying he had a history of mental illness and my claims were also as a result of the mental illness I must have inherited from him. They even went as far as pleading with the judge to take me and my dad to a mental home instead. At some point I was afraid I was going to be locked up in a psychiatrist hospital but thank God for the tests carried out on me and the scars on my body. He was found guilty and sentenced to thirty years imprisonment with hard labour. He later died in his third year there. Francis on his part was found guilty of murder. He was sentenced to death by hanging and before he was hung, it was reported that every day he spent in prison was like hell for him, he got raped every single day by men who were just like him. it got to a point that he almost committed suicide, he prayed for death and it found him when at last he was hanged.
    Anita and Derek got married in a most beautiful way, we all lived together even when they gave birth to their own child, a son. My grand-parents seldom came to see me. I was made to go to Oxford University in UK for my university education even though I didn’t want to. I wanted to stay with my kid brother and parents.

    I became a Girls’ Right Activist after my university education when I came back to Nigeria and realised there were many girls going through the same stuffs I went through. I couldn’t let that happen, I went from school to school, town to town, city to city, educating girls on their rights and how they shouldn’t keep silent about any form of abuse they were going through. They deserve to be heard and helped. I provided scholarship to as many as I could, sheltered some just the same way Annie and Derek did for me.
    I thank God for my struggles and where I have been through. His grace sustained me, saw me through and gave me a home, a family and a voice which can be heard far and wide.
    ===
    Anita
    IF I told you I don’t bless God for making me adopt that girl I’d be lying. She brought so many blessings to my home after we adopted her. Favours poured in from every angle and before we knew it, we were being used as an example of humanitarian couples all over the country. The evil men do surely do catch up with them no matter how hidden it is now, someday, It will surely be revealed. My baby girl became a poet and an activist for girls passing through the same stuffs she did and I am so proud of her. She will be getting married next month and I just can’t help but thank God for the man she is going to marry too.
    Andre was her classmate who taunted her so much in high school. He told me how he regretted everything he did after she left. He actually liked her then and that was the reason he did all that, just to find excuses to talk to her. Well he is a good guy too, I and Derek are going to give them the best during their wedding for sure.

    Anita
    He walked closer to us winging the axe from side to side. He looked around and at that moment, I thought he was actually going to see the hidden camera but he didn’t. He was too occupied with scaring the daylight out of us. He took his seat in front of Rose who was still sitting on the chair I left her on to go check who was inside the house. He looked at her for some time and grinned. I ran up to her and folded her in my arms, she was as rigid as a stone, probably holding her breath. Held her hands in mine for a second and closed my eyes.
    Anita: “What are you doing here please?” I asked preventing my teeth from clattering against themselves after i had let go of Rose’s hands.

    Francis: “I love your courage. you should rather be asking how i got into the house. well i will tell you even though you didn’t ask, your boyfriend left it open in his blind hurry to catch me. Isn’t that lame? i should give him a gold medal for his carefulness and expertise judging from how i sneaked into the compound when he was sliding the gate open. I really like police officers”
    Anita: “I said what are you doing here?”
    Francis: “I have watched you ever since you decided to meddle in an issue that is none of your business. I would have come for you that night but that dumb fake husband of hers spoilt the show for me by getting there first. I should have just killed him when I had the chance. The drunkard” he said looking as lost as a stray dog.
    Anita: “So why are you here now?” I had to keep him talking hoping against hope that Derek could view the happenings at home on his phone.

    Francis: “I came to kill you first, then kill her second. Then if peradventure that boyfriend of yours shows up soon, I’d kill him too”
    Anita: “Why? What is our offense against you?”
    Francis: “Your offense? Ahahahahaha” he laughed wickedly. “Your offense is countless. Why did you have to meddle in our business?”
    Anita: “You and whose business?”
    Francis: “I and Rose of course you dumb smart girl. You probably want to keep me talking in order to give your boyfriend some time to get here. But not to worry, the address I gave him that I was at is quite far from here. He couldn’t be back until twilight. And besides, I love taking it slow too so I and my vics can enjoy the show. Rose here knows that much” he cast her a look.
    Anita: “Okay then. We hope you take it really slow. So we can all enjoy it”

    Rose
    Seeing the axe in his hands brought back memories I had buried deep down inside me. The image of him hacking my mum’s leg while I stood and watched helplessly. The images of my mum slipping into quietus while I watched unable to stop her. the images of her dismembered body. I didn’t know whether to be scared or angry. I must have been both at the same time. Hearing him gibber on and on made me even angrier, I wanted to pounce on him but Anita’s hands on my shoulders held me down when I began to tense up my shoulders. At least she couldn’t hold my mouth down so I snapped…
    Rose: “Will you shut up you psycho? Just imagine what you are saying? You are really generous uhn?”

    Anita: “Shhhhhh Rose” she tried to cover my mouth with her trembling hands but I shook it off.
    Francis: “No leave her to talk. I guess she is awake at last. Yes being generous has always been my undoing. The same way I am extending my generosity to you now is the same way I did with your mum when she was carrying a bastard in her tummy. A child which was rejected along with her but how did she pay me back? By rejecting me. By tossing me to the dogs no matter how much I tried to get back to my feet, she kept pushing me back to the mud with pigs with her rejection. She kept longing for another man, a man who was doing the same thing she was doing to me to her. a man who was unworthy of her, a man who was trampling on what I treasured the most. That was what she did. She did all that to me” his voice quaked so much I thought he was crying but he wasn’t.
    Rose: “So you killed her? Did she kill the man who was rejecting her? Just accept the fact that you need help. You are mentally deranged”
    Francis: “And who will help me? Everyone in this world is broken, they just go about pretending to be alright. I must tell you, I am better than many of you”
    Anita: “So was killing the one you loved that much the best thing you could have done?”
    Francis: “You have no idea lady. Why would I have let someone else have her when she was originally mine? We almost got married, she almost agreed to marry me until he showed up. He treated her so bad yet she stuck to him like an ant stuck in a web. Did she deserve to live that way?”
    Anita: “I guess it’s not she you should have killed. Isn’t the man the one who is the offender in this case? It’s he who deserved your punishment”

    Francis: “Oh no! It wasn’t he who rejected me. Well I just cut off her limbs, the ones she kept using to run back to him thereby leaving me in the lurch. I didn’t know she’d die but her death was worth it. I no longer lay on my bed, thinking whether or not she is in another man’s arms. I feel good”
    Rose: “You are a coward. You knew he was a man and he could have fought you off”
    Francis: “Enough of the prep talk. I will proceed now. I think I will have to start from the lady so the young girl can have her fill of what her experience would be a second time. How do I do it? Should I have a change of game plan? Maybe do it differently this time? Even God loves variety, He would want me to send you all home in a different ways”
    Rose: “Take me first”
    Anita: “No I will go first baby”
    Francis: “Awwwww this is touching. Not to worry, I will take the lady first and I think the backyard will just be good enough. I have circled everywhere before coming in. you have a garden at the backyard right? Now move!” he shoved her towards the back door and she walked on.
    ===
    Anita
    I prayed at that moment that our closest neighbour will at least stir in his sleep and decide to get out of bed. He bent down and started digging. He wasn’t planning to bury me alive was he? I started quivering violently. He noticed it and laughed hysterically not minding that people could hear him. I thought of screaming my lungs out but that would make him carry out his act faster than planned probably by using the axe on me. I still had hope of escape and so I behaved myself and watched him dig. Rose stood at a corner watching him too, I felt sorry for her, for the fact that she had to face two psychotic men at such tender age. How on earth will she be able to trust men again if peradventure we escape this? At the back of my eyes, I saw someone hiding behind the mango tree at the garden, he was probably looking for an opportunity to pounce. I looked away from him in order not to call Francis’ attention to him.

    To be continued!

    QUESTIONS
    Who could be hiding there?
    Will the person be able to save them both? Or will Francis still carry out his deadly acts?
    They need your prayers!

    Theme: Death is not an option

    Its… Its.. Its him.

    ‘Christ!! WTF!! ‘ she continued cursing inwardly cus strangely she strangely couldn’t find her voice.

    “Breath, Miss Martin, Breath ” he said to her in a loud whisper with a lopsided smile.

    “Kmhp kmhp” she cleared her throat and looked away , realizing that she had actually stopped breathing.

    “This is Detective Leonardo Perez Freeman “. General’s voice rang into her thought.

    She glanced at him again but strangely she couldn’t look away or breathe.

    “So.. Miss Martin we meet again”. Leonardo said strecthing his hands forward.

    “Uh.. Kmhp.. Ye.. Yes we meet again” she finally got her voice back.

    ‘Where were you when I needed you the most? ‘ she thought.

    She finally brought her hand forward to shake him.

    “Jesus!! ” she almost yelled out the moments their hands touched, she quickly withdrew her due to the electrifying force she felt as the palms met and with the way he looked down at his hands she guessed he felt it too.

    “You guys know each other? “. Christopher asked.

    That was when she remembered that they were also standing there.

    “Uh.. Yeah…. He.. He’s the guy that saved me that night ” she replied.

    “Really!!, what a coincidence! ” General exclaimed

    “Leonardo here was just telling me about his last encounter with the B. M. Bs” he added patting Leonardo’s shoulder.

    “So you’re the Lady he saved? “

    “Uh.. Yeah ” Cecilia replied unsure of what to say

    “Hi, I’m Jamie Lynn “. Jamie said stepping forward.

    “Leonardo Freeman “. Leonardo replied and they briefly shook hands.

    ‘ Leonardo Freeman? Where have I heard that name before? Cecilia thought.

    “Why don’t we step into my office, we have things to discuss ” General said entering his office and they all followed him.

    “Cecilia, the information in the flash drive you gave really went a long way in helping us”. He continued as they were seated.

    “Really.. that’s.. Um.. Good to hear” she answered with a quivering voice.

    In all honesty she was not OK, all she wanted right now was to get out of this place, go far from this man who affected her so much.

    But she knew that aint gonna happen any time soon and with him seating by her side wasn’t helping one bit.

    ‘Perhaps I made a big mistake by coming back now’ she thought.
    “Yes it is “. General’s voice rang into her thoughts again.

    “That’s why we have called you here, ” he continued

    “Leonardo here is also working on the B. M. Bs case, initially I was thinking about putting you guys together to dig out more about the case, but since you both have met before, and coincidentally you were both on the same case that night, you guys are definitely working together “.

    “I’m sorry, what did you say? ” Cecilia asked the moment he finished his speech.

    “I said you guys will work together ” he answered smugly.

    “General please, can you explain the meaning of working together? ” she asked.

    Hoping and praying there was another meaning, apart from the one they all knew.

    “Cecilia, what other meaning does working together have? You guys are now partners, because so far you’re the only one who has gone deep into this case, so for now the both of you are the best options for us, and putting you together will definitely yield faster results ” he explained.

    “General I’m a reporter, a journalist not some underground detective ” she replied defensively
    “I know that Cecilia, and I’m still wondering why you fell into that line because you have great skills ” he said, with a smug expression on his face.

    “I… Listen… General…. I just.. Can’t do it.. I mean.. ” she stammered helplessly

    “I know you must be scared, honestly its quite dangerous, but I’m sure Leo here will be able to protect you both he has done it once and I’m sure he can do it again, and besides you’re not going to be the only ones working on it, its just that you guys will be going to places where we can get leads”. He explained further.

    “Uhm.. I.. Shit!! “. Cecilia groaned.
    Who was she to argue with Allan? He would beat her to it. If he’s made a decision, no one questions it, mostly because he always makes the best decisions but this was an exception, it wasn’t the best, at least not for her.

    “Look Cecilia, I know this is quite sudden, but right now everything is just dropping like a bombshell, and looking at it, its the best. If you both work together, it’ll better because no one would suspect a beautiful lady standing with an handsome man in fact you can even pretend to be a couple, whatever you wish, but you must work together. ” he concluded.
    ‘Couple!? ‘ she thought.

    She knew she couldn’t argue, everything he just said seemed right but she just didn’t want to work with him.

    ‘ But wait’ she thought.

    ‘I should be happy right, I’ll finally be able to get into this case with backup ‘

    Maybe it is the best, but there was only one fear she had now; this man.

    He affected her, so much to the extent she felt waves pass through her when she touched his hands and right this moment she was afraid her heart will pop out of her chest with the way its beating and its all because he’s sitting beside her.

    Now is that not something to worry about?

    They just met, well technically this is their second meeting and they’ve hardly said anything to each other, yet she had all this feelings and she couldn’t even concentrate, how will she be able to work with him.

    “So how are we going to do this ” Leonardo spoke up.

    “I mean if we are going to be working together, we can’t always be here and we need to be close when we’re not on the field at least to discuss one or two things “. He explained.

    “That’s true, you need to be close, in order to share your findings “. Christopher answered.

    “Um.. Jamie do you perhaps have a vacancy, like a position to offer to Leo so he can be able to work with you guys “. General asked.
    Okay now this is not how Jamie expected this meeting to be.

    Well the fact is, he doesn’t want this man to work with Cecilia, and now General is indirectly telling him to employ him.

    He couldn’t help but feel jealous or insecure rather, because he knew this man was way more good looking than he was.

    ‘What if Cecilia falls for him? ‘
    “Jamie ” Christopher called when a reply was not forthcoming.
    “Uhm no, there’s no vacancy “. Jamie replied.

    ‘How stupid ‘. Cecilia thought.
    He was the practically the owner of the place, if he wanted he could employ ten more people, no one would question him.

    Now he’s saying no vacancy ‘very very stupid ‘ she thought.

    She knew why he said that, it was because he was jealous, ‘but he employed a hot chick as he’s PA.

    “Wait, there’s a vacancy ” she said aloud. Earning a glare from Jamie.
    ‘Payback time ‘ she thought smirking at him.

    “I was actually looking for a PA ” she added

    “Good its settled then ” General concluded again.

    Cecilia enjoyed the look on Jamie’s face and for a moment she totally forgot that she wanted to go as far away from Leonardo, now she just sealed a contract with him.

    “So that’ll be all for now, I think everything is settled” General said getting up.

    “If you’ll excuse me, I have another meeting right now “. He added.

    “I’ll see you guys soon, Leo please call me if you find anything new”. With that he walked out of the office.

    “I also need to be there ” Christopher said walking to the door.

    “Bye” he said and walked out.
    Leaving an angry Jamie, excited Cecilia and an expressionless Leo.
    What a combination!!

    “Why did you do that? ” Jamie asked angrily, forgetting that Leonardo was sitting there.

    “Why did I do what? ” Cecilia retorted sweetly, fueling Jamie’s rage.

    “You know what I’m talking about ” he drawled.

    “Look Jamie I don’t have time for this, we’ll talk about this some other day ” she replied getting up.

    “Mr Leonardo, I think you’re coming with me ” she said looking at Leonardo.

    For another moment she got lost staring at him. That was when she got a proper look at him and Damn!! He was just to handsome to be true.

    “Shall we ” Leonardo said jolting her out of her reverie.

    “Um… Yeah ” she replied and spurn towards the door.

    But before she could to the door he was already there holding it open.

    ‘That was fast ‘. she thought.
    They both walked out of the office with an angry Jamie stalking behind….

    “Calm down dear it’s not what you think, look am sorry if the impression you had of me is bad but trust me I wasn’t like this three years ago” I said cocked eyebrow
    ” Do you wanna talk about it” she asked with concern

    What was I thinking ?? I can’t be happening no !!…
    I left her in the room and went to the guest room downstairs .
    Why did I have to fall for her ?? Love is cruel it wasn’t meant for people like me .
    I kept smashing everything in the room as images of my little sister Kira came flashing .
    She was the only person have ever loved as my everything, but the wicked jaws of death took her away from me .
    Danielle is too good for me , I don’t even know how to love a girl or treat her right.
    I stayed up in the trashed room till daybreak before heading upstairs ..
    I met Elle getting dressed to leave for work , I didn’t say anything to her I just walked pass her and headed to the closet.
    “Good morning” she greeted but I ignored her and kept looking for the pack of cigarette I kept in there.
    “Where were you last night” she added but I didn’t even look at her talk more answering.
    “You wanna ignore me right?? Fine suit yourself” she said angrily and walked away slamming the door pretty hard.
    I let out a sign and walked into the bathroom and took a shower .
    Really wanted to smoke but I couldn’t last night event was still fresh in my memory.
    Later that day.
    She came back from the company looking so exhausted and tired too.
    I acted like I didn’t care but deep down I did but I don’t want her to see that soft side of me.
    Hey good evening” she greeted
    ” Hey ‘ I answered dryly.
    She sat down on the couch and brought out her PC and continued working , like seriously she is a workaholic.
    She has this worry look on her face while working.
    Slowly she was dozing off , she slept off on the couch without finishing up the work.
    I stood up and walked towards her.I removed her heels gently and massaged her ankle she moan in her sleep cutely.
    I took the laptop and glance at it, what she was trying so hard to compute was something I knew how to solve.
    It was a presentation on tax evasion allocation for Power Mart .

    This is a piece of cake for me.
    I carried her in bridal style upstairs and lay her down on the bed before going back downstairs.
    I took the system and sat down on the couch before drafting a proper presentation for her..
    By the time I was done I went back upstairs and joined her in bed.
    I was glad I was able to do something meaningful ,.
    She is a wonderful person even tho she can get cranky and nerdy at times.
    I never knew this was the feeling called love.
