I had been running for a day full now. I could hear them yelling at each other to find me, dogs barking closing in trying to get to me.
“Why can’t we just use our speed to chase her?” one of them asked as I hid up on a tree inside a nest.
“There are traps in this woods, it seems the owner is a hunter of some sort” another one said.
I stayed still.
“She’s here, I can hear her heart beating” I heard the other one yelling.
‘Wait, what?…..Ouch. Not now darn it’
Suddenly; it hit me again. That thing that always did when my heart stops beating, giving me searing pain.
I tried to breath but I couldn’t. I wanted to do something, heck scream if I had to, but I just laid there on the tree trying to grasp for air although I ended up blacking out. I don’t know what happened next.
I woke up with a massive headache. I opened my eyes only to realize it was getting dark.
‘I need to go home a

Macie’s P.O.V “Why are we driving like mad dogs?” I asked suddenly confused. I mean fuck the formalities, this was my life at stake. But there was no response. I was scared. ‘What happened in that house that could cause this hysteria?’ I thought looking at both Andrea and Maya. They just looked so scared. Like someone told them their cat died and the thing that killed it was coming for them too. ‘White people shit’ I rolled my eyes. “Macie please shut up I’m trying to think” Miss Johnson blurted out surprising me after a long silence of hysterical driving. “I didn’t say anything though” I defended not sure what had happened. “You tend to think out loud” Andrea said in a bored tone surprising me with her tone. ‘Is she bored of me already?’ “Cie, I liked you. But I think it’s best we drop you off at your place” Andrea said blankly surprising me. ‘I thought she liked me’ ‘Wait, she

Max’s P.O.V There are times I feel out of place, like I need a way forward but I am not asking. I’m rather settled in my pain, I wallow and reminisce unwanted moments without purpose. I ask myself why me, why did it have to happen to me. ‘Doesn’t the Bible say “God has good plans for us?” what plans does he have in allowing such in my life? Ok, maybe I did play a role in driving my father away, but still, did I deserve such? Now that I think about it, no one loves me. Even my dead beat father, he just decided to leave us behind. Did he know what he was doing, did he know that this will happen? I hate him’ ‘Ok, maybe hate is a strong word there tiger!’ ‘I know, I know! I’m just…I don’t know how to feel man’ ‘Who said you need to figure out how you’re supposed to feel? In life we all have feelings, yes we can control them, but for balance’s sake, one is expected to feel something’ ‘Yeah! But I don’t feel anything. Ok, wh

Andrea’s P.O.V “Can you stop being mad” I shouted at Maya. She was acting childish, and lashing at me was not solving our problem. I understand why she had to be mad. I mean we had been fine before but now that Sebastian is here, we either have to run and start over, which is a big change, or we have to go back home with him, and I am sure that isn’t part of our wishes. “I’m sorry, I just…” “I understand” I cut Maya off. She looked like she was about to cry. She nodded her head and motioned I continued with Macie. I turned around and looked at Macie. She studied my face like she was looking for answers. ‘I wish I could tell you’ I sympathized with her. ‘We have to go’ Maya stated in our mind link. ‘We are already out of time. They might show up anytime. I am sure Sebastian followed us here although, I do not know what is taking him so long to show up’ she continued. ‘You know him well…’

Max’s P.O.V‘I can’t tell him why I ran from home.‘Just walk, follow him,My mind was playing tricks with me. It had been a long confusing tiring day. I was panicking a bit. I wasn’t sure why I wasn’t running away, but I wasn’t ready and willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, I guess I didn’t know what I really wanted at that moment.‘…watch him…’ my instinct cried in.‘Why should I watch him?’I was battling with my mind, not sure what was the next move, but in as much as I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, I was going to be careful. I wasn’t going to allow myself to walk in a devil’s den knowingly.‘…because you don’t trust anyone, but ironically you see goodness in everyone’‘Yeah, because everyone has goodness in them.’I wasn’t sure why my conscience was telling me it was ironic what I was doing, but I kind of did understand where the source of the whole reassurance needed came from. ‘….but still…’ my conscience voiced, but I cut it off before it could g

Belinda's P.O.V"Mrs. Johnson who do you have upstairs?" Naya asked as we made our way to the stairs.We were abruptly stopped by Michael, who came running down the stairs shouting she's here.'Ahh, so much for trying, why didn’t she run?'"Who?" Naya asked stopping him on the flight, interrupting my thoughts."The girl you said we should look out for, she is taking clothes from our son's closet. Why would she do that?" He startled us with his squeaky voice. I turned and looked at Naya, but she just shrugged her shoulders and passed him, pushing him along, he almost feel off the stairs."You know you can try to be nice sometimes.""Where. is. she?" Clearly my comment did not phase her."She is gone" Mrs. Johnson muffled cries as she rubbed her eyes."Agh, useless" Naya huffed, leaving the woman crying and Michael baffled on the door."Who did you say you are, and where are you from" he asked

Macie's P.O.V ‘Ding dong’ the doorbell rang. ‘Shit, who’s that?’ paranoia started. ‘I need to chill, I did not do anything bad to anyone, and neither did I sleep with someone’s daughter lately’ ‘Ding dong’ it rang again. ‘Ding dong, ding dong’ “What?” It was not pleasing anymore. I was angry and frustrated. The encounter with the Johns did do a number on me! ‘Ding dong’ it rang again. “Ok! I'm coming, I'm coming. Jeez chill you tits whoever you are.” I made my way to the door. I had been up relieving the moments of my encounters with the Johns. They were acting weird. And the running part, it really outdid me well. I was so paranoid I was waiting, I don’t know for what or who but I was. “Why were they running? What if they are wanted fugitives?” I was starting to get really frustrated. ‘Ding dong’ “What!” I panicked shouted. ‘Again? Who

REDLAND: NINE MONTHS AGO Sebastian's P.O.V “Sebastian, Sebastian the king summons your presence” a maddening loud voice woke me. ‘That must be Carlos’ “Wake up chief” he pried. “Carlos it's...” there was so much noise as I tried to wake up. “Why the noise?” I turned rubbing my hurting red eyes, only to be met by a formally dressed Carlos. I stared at him up and down. He was dressed in his royal guard occasional robes. “Why are you all dressed up, did I miss something yesterday?” I was conflicted. “We have visitors” he blurted like it was no surprise. “Who?” I was suddenly intrigued by the new information. It had never happened that people would visit the palace without us knowing. It was our duty to know, to prepare for their visits and welcome them. “The Royals” he said it like he was about to squirm. “Why?” I asked a question like Ca

IN THE KINGDOM, TEN HOURS AGO (King’s Chamber) No one’s P.O.V“Gideon, Gideon. Hear my name, follow my voice. I summon your presence”There was a loud muscular horsy voice shattering the walls of the castle. The walls had started cracking, but it seemed the cracks and the vibrations were heard only in the bedroom. There was no movement outside the king’s room.“My Lord! I am your humble servant.” Gideon purred like a hungry cat seeing its master, kneeling in front of the unknown figure.“It has been years since the prophecy was revealed. In the birth of the child’s parents and now that the child has grown. It cannot be repeated twice and not mean anything. You seem to not wonder, this are hinders that are yet to reveal their wings, and we have to clip them before they learning to fly. I cannot be undone by a mere mortal.

Maya's P.O.V “Hey stop!” Sebastian shouted at Max.She had just jumped out of the car and rand like a shooting bullet.“Sebastian, Sebastian, Sebastian drive!” I roared, they were catching up on us.I saw Naya waving at me with a wicked smile.“We are dead!” Sebastian was trying to lose them.“I said drive faster!” He was taken back like I was.“What about Max?”“We'll catch her later, now drive faster” I shook the steering wheel like the car was going to move any faster.Panicked, the tires screeched as we drove off faster.As we drove, we were silent. I was thinking of the next move, and Sebastian was hyperventilating.“Quit it!” I was angry.‘He got me into this hot mess’“Sorry!” He mumbledHe was making me sick in my stomach.I hadn't taken bloo

PRESENT DAY ‘Fuck this’ I got out of the car, and I ran as fast as my feet could take me.Maya's P.O.V‘Why am I suddenly interested in a girl, and that kind of a girl?’The feeling of anxiety was creeping on me, I felt myself getting weak on the knees.‘Well she doesn't look like a girl, but still, she is a girl. I need to see this girl clearly. I need to get closer’ my thoughts were raging as I made my way out of the car.She was running away.“Maya!....” I could hear Sebastian calling. It was faint, but I was too troubled to entertain him.‘Isn't that her brother coming back with a male figure? I guess that's not their father, and she probably has trust issues with the police, but why did she allow the brother to drive there from the start? Uh, why am I cracking my head over this girl’ I scratched my head as I felt a small head

Panic hit me.“I don't know them” I answered, ignoring the sting on my left cheek.“You are lying to us” the male officer holding my hands slapped me really hard. I felt that one, it was all up in my face. I ignored the pain again.I realized that I was in their world. I had to play their game, or I would find myself in a dire pickle.“I'm serious, I don't know them. Where is Sydney?What did you do to him? I want to see him. He will assure you I don't know anything” I assured looking at them one by one.I don't know why, but it was like i was watching a movie of myself. I couldn't feel anything at that moment, but anger.I felt a hard slap again on my other cheek, and another and another. It started to sting some more, but I was numb inside. I could tell they were not going to entertain my innocence. They just wanted the truth, their own way.“Where are the computers?” A male offic

FOUR HOURS AGO Maya's P.O.V “I couldn't get them.Damn kids of this days, they are so fast”Sebastian huffed facing down trying to catch his breath.“Getting old? I asked”It was funny to watch him struggle.“Definitely not!” He coughed for a moment.‘Well that was a bust’ I sighed.I mean, the whole reason we were there was for those two.And now that we don't have them on sight, I guess it was back to square one.“Did you see him?” Sebastian interrupted my train of thought.“Ummm...”I truly didn't see him.I was too busy gawking at the girl the boy was running with. She looked so familiar.So warm.“You weren't paying any attention were you?” Sebastian asked, but I was still zoning.‘Why did she look familiar?’&ld

No one's P.O.V “I. need. To…” Sam was trying to catch his breath.“Listen, I need see your boss” Sam tried getting attention from the lady in front of him, but it was no use. She was too engrossed to entertain him.“I’m sorry Sam, your father is busy right now. He's with someone important” The woman pointed at the door to the chief police’s office.“Listen Wonder....” Sam tried reasoning, but the woman in front of him wasn't having it. She was adamant on her responses.“Sam...” She huffed looking tired, realizing that Sam wasn’t going anywhere, nor was he promising not to bother her.“...you should take a seat” she finished, clearly not interested in what the young man had to say.Sam decided to obey and take the sit he was offered. Whilst sitting, he was busy fidgeting with his fingers, like he was about to break them. As he sat, his nerves got the best of him. He looked down, his right hand rubbing his palms. It seemed they were sweating, he was suddenly rubbing them on his trouser

Max's P.O.V We were rushing through the corridors. Sam had decide to follow me, for some reasons I didn't know about.The moment he saw me leaving he followed.“Why are you following me? Damn!”I was agitated by his presence. I didn't know him that well. I had so much to deal with, than to deal with him too.For all I know he could be with them.“Ding!” The elevator opened.“Wha…”Maya's P.O.VThe elevator doors opened revealing a unique face.A face that intrigued me more.“There...”Sebastian took off running chasing after them. I just stood there dumb folded. It was like I couldn't move.My whole body felt heavy and warm.Max's P.O.V‘It's them. Wait, Miss Johnson!’“Run!” I turned to Sam to give him a heads up.

Maya's P.O.V “Ummm, where are we going now?” Sebastian kept glancing outside the window as we passed the streets. It seemed he wasn't sure about the destination either.“There are some flats they said I will encounter up the heel” he confirmed my thought dismissively. “Who said?” I was still pressing matters. He was glaring ahead not giving me a second chance, not even a glance.“I think this is it” he motioned as he packed his car.“Shall we?” He asked as he tilted his head outside to look at the building.Yeah! And I didn’t forget that he ignored my question, I just chose to let him be. I wanted to see if his story was going to pen out.“Yeah, I think this is the place” He locked his car after we got out, and tossed the keys to his jacket pocket.Suddenly I felt dizzy. It was like I was about to puke. I held my waist as my other hand leaned on his car. “My Q....Maya are you alright?” Sebastian questioned as he held my back rubbing it a bit. It wasn’t helping in any way, ins

Max's P.O.V My mind was fuzzy. I had been waiting for the elevator to open for minutes. ‘Why can't it open?’ I arrived at my destination, not sure how I got there though. “Oh, Max. Jeremy says hi...” “Johan, nice to see you, hey Jeremy” I waved “He doesn't get it does he?” Johan inquired looking at Jeremy, then back at me. “Nop!” I waved one last time, then shifted my gaze back to Johan “He too desperate. It's not cute” “I know! Can you occupy him while I try running away from his stare. You know if I don't leave he'll come here, and he will start talking nonstop, until...” “…until you reach your destination. I know. Anyways let me help you with the elevator” Johan took out his card and opened the elevator. Only to find a couple inside the elevator making out. “Mmhhhh!” Johan murmured. I just laughed and felt bad for them. ‘Johan can be crazy at times’ “You two out!” He pointed to the couple. “...you in!” He pointed at me. He was authoritative like that. Too nice

PRESENT DAYMaya's P.O.V“Sebastian, I was there remember? I wasn't even young to forget”he was dragging the whole story.“Yes, but you were never outside that day. You do not know what happened next”“What do you mean?” he caught my attention.“When the Oracle got outside, you remember my great grandfather left to monitor the dining?” Sebastian inquired creasing his eyes together.“Yes, father asked that he foresee if food was prepared” he was consistent with dragging me along with him. It was taking forever.“Indeed, but surprisingly when he got to the feast he found out that the oracle had told some of the people of Redland the same story”“What story? This is dreading Seb...”“Patience!” He hushed me.“The story was about a child who would be born touched by God. T
