MARSAI'S POVI was overwhelmed with everything and when I got to the tent, Tasha was still asleep. I took the letter and disposed of it since there was no need for it anymore.The next day, we all woke up early too and each group of friends were discussing and laughing. The atmosphere felt really nice, and I hoped the memory would stay evergreen. A few minutes later, Mrs. Phillips gathered us round again.“I hope we are all ready for today? Your sports teacher has some activities up his sleeve. And you all are going to participate in it. The winners would be given some points and a trip to Miami Beach in Florida.” Mrs. Phillips announced, smiling as her hands were placed on her waist.We all cheered and jumped up in joy. Then we split up into our usual groups to search for the gem. Stephen and his partner were with us when he spotted a great waterfall.“Look! It's a waterfall. Do you know something? At times, in movies, you tend to find gems where water is found. We can try our luck.
MARSAI'S POVThe next morning, we all began to pack our things. It was time to go home. The adventure had been exciting and although it had been a scary one, I was sure I was going to miss it. “You don't look too good.” Tasha commented as she tried to zip up her bag that always had trouble zipping up due to the number of clothes that were always in it.“I guess I'll miss the fun we had here. It's been dangerous but still, I learned a lot.” I replied, and she nodded, still struggling with the over stuffed bag.“ I can't argue that. I also learned a lot.” She said, and finally closed the bag. " Phew!” She said and smiled. “Now let's go home.” She said and took my arm and her l bag, and I only had a second to grab my bag before she pulled me away.Everyone was busy piling their loads on the bus and there was barely enough space to sit.The bus seemed like it would be suffocating. After we had all loaded our luggage on it, we began to find spaces to sit, and I held on to Tasha, so I
MARSAI'S POVThe next morning, I woke up very early and woke Tasha up too, which was a very hard task.We took our baths and dressed up nicely before doing down to the bus to await the rest.Slowly, one after the other, everyone came down, and morning greetings filled the air.“Good morning.” Rodd said to us as he sat behind us.“Good morning Rodd.” Tasha replied.“Hey everyone, how was the night?” Stephen asked as he approached with Ruby.“I slept like sleep was new to me.” Tasha replied and Ruby giggled.“I was able to fall asleep deeply. You know, those days in the forest, I'd sleep lightly so if anything were to happen, I'd be alert, but last night, I slept like a newborn" Ruby said as she sat down and started to wipe her bag.“ So where's the bus dropping us? “ I asked.“ Surely at school. “ Stephen said, looking around.Finally, the bus started moving and we were on our way to school. It didn't take us a long time before we got to school and as the bus dropped us, we took separ
MARSAI'S POVMy heart began to beat wildly instantly.I looked at the luggage I was carrying. If he saw me with it, the worst would happen to me.I moved as silently as I could and hid behind a large oak tree and dropped my luggage just as silently as I had moved.I tried to take a deep breath, so I wouldn't make a noise.Furthermore, I could remember vividly, the hell I went through when I was caught trying to escape from him and as I remembered it, I shook my head, I didn't want that to repeat itself.Furthermore, I watched as he came closer, although he wasn't walking in my direction.He was almost gone. If only he could walk a little farther than I could try walking away and when I was totally out of earshot, I'd run.I watched him silently but then as he passed by my tree, he paused, and I watched with dread and terror as he stopped and sniffed twice. Then he continued walking, only to stop again, and he inhaled the air around him for a long time before he finally exhaled and d
MARSAI'S POVI woke up early and prepared for school.Sam was already up and was fixing something in the kitchen.I went to meet him.“Good morning. Did you sleep well?” He asked with a smile.“Very well. Thank you. What are you fixing for breakfast?” I asked as I moved closer to see what he was making.“Just scrambled eggs differently, it's a new recipe I made.” He said with pride, and I shook my head and smiled.“Just hurry. We're supposed to meet Tasha on the way to school.”“ You should be patient. There's still a lot of time.”. He said turning his eggs over.“Have you ever heard of the words, 'Time waits for no one.' Sam?" I asked and he grinned.“ Have you taken your bath?" He asked, looking at me.“ Yes, I have. And you?" I asked as I sat at the kitchen table.“ Unfortunately not." He said with a smile and made for the door.“ Sam!" I shouted, pointing to his eggs.“ Finish it up!" He replied, and the only thing I saw was the apron he had thrown to me, and I groaned.
MARSAI'S POVHe looked at me, probably expecting me to deny it, but I didn't.“I think this is an issue we need to solve all together. You guys need to talk this out. Just wait a moment.” I said and walked out of his class.I was going to call Tasha, so we could solve it together because they had to hear from each other's lips and I had to be there in case things went out of hand.Not only that, but I looked up, and immediately I did, I saw Tasha, and she abruptly turned around and tried to pretend she was going the other way.Furthermore, I smiled.Her curiosity brought her all the way here. I increased my speed and put my hands round her shoulders.“So. so, what did he say?” She tried to ask casually.“I came to fetch you. The thing is, Adam overheard you saying you wanted Sam.” I said as I dropped my hands from her shoulders.I watched her eyes go wide.“ He… He... He overheard?” She's stuttered and began to look around as though she could find something to say on the walls.“ It's
MARSAI'S POVAlpha Asher had brought back the rule of those men following me to school. I didn't really understand what was going on with Alpha Asher, why he changed all of a sudden. Although, I knew he had the attributes of a traffic light, but this was just too different and out of context.Would they also follow us when Sam is here with me? I could see Sam boiling in anger, but he tried his best to restrain himself from doing something silly. “When we get back from school, I'll ask my brother why he is doing this?” Sam said as he held my hand and urged us to keep moving.When I got to the class, Tasha rushed over to me excitedly. “So, I heard that you have a choice to pick a person to go with you on the trip. That'll be me, right?” She asked in excitement, putting her hand over my shoulders.I was uncomfortable as I didn't know if I was going to be chanced to go. Then I looked at her with sad eyes.“I'm sorry, it's not certain that I will go, for reasons best known to me. I hope
MARSAI'S POVIt was closing, and I told Arnold and Tasha that I had to go home early to do some things. Then Sam and I left the school and were talking as usual on the way home.“You are looking downcast today, Marsai. What's going on?” He asked out of concern, with his hands in his pocket as he kicked stones.“I guess it's not hard for you to notice.” I said, looking down.“Are you for real? Oh, come on! You know very well that we are close, and this isn't your usual attitude. Is it because of those guards?” “Not really. I wouldn't have minded it if I was allowed to go on the trip.” I blurted out, slamming my hand on my face.“What do you mean? My brother isn't allowing you to go for the trip?”Sam was clearly angry because he knew what I had to go through to get that opportunity, and it was heartbreaking to find out that I won't be allowed to go on the trip. Then he fastened his steps and then started running, I knew he was going to make a fuss about this, so I followed him, making
MARSAI'S POVI could not believe that we had just failed the task. I didn't know what fate had in store for us, after this.Then I noticed that the ghosts looked as if something was communicating to them, then they looked back at us."You failed the task, but you have been graced. You will leave now and will be transported back to your destination." The first ghost said, then snapped his finger and in the blink of an eye, we were at the Benitoite forest."Thank goodness. We made it!" Alfred raised his hand for a high five, which we did.Then we began to walk around the forest, trying to search for the gem."It's really hard to find the gem. It is so rare and I guess that is the reason most people are after it.""Of course. These gems generates a huge amount of money for those in possession of it. They know very well that people covet it, so it is sold at a high price." Alfred said as he continued to search around the forest."I think we need to take a break. I'm kind of feeling tired.
ALPHA ASHER'S POV"Who are you?" I asked out of curiosity."I am a seer." She replied, with no emotions on her face."A seer? Really?" It was good news as she was a seer, because I would be able to get an answer to the burning questions I had right now. "I have a question to ask, please answer my question for the sake of the time that we have spent together." I pleaded, earnestly and this I did, because of Marsai and because she was a seer that wasn't under me."Alright, go on.""Someone I love was abducted a few days ago and I need to know if she is still alive." I asked, hoping she was still alive.Then her eyes turned white and she went silent for a while. I had to wait for a while until her eyes turned back to normal."I saw that someone you love is still alive, but there is trouble looming around." She said as she looked around."Do you know how we can prevent it?" I asked out of concern and worry."Only your presence can prevent it. I will take my leave, right now." She said a
ALPHA ASHER'S POVThe snakes came in different sizes flying at me and I immediately tried to run but fell in the deep sand.The snakes landed on the sand close to me and I immediately brought myself up to my feet and tried to run. It wasn't easy, running in the deep sand and the snakes were faster since they were in their element.One flew at me and I swatted it away, another flew right at my face but missed me by just an hair's breadth.I ran looking back at my unrelenting pursuers. It was something I couldn't bring myself to believe."It's all an illusion, they're just playing on your mind. You have to get out of here fast before you get caught! " I said to myself to give me the confidence I needed."Surrender! And stay here forever!" The voice of the lady boomed and although I looked in all directions, I couldn't find her."Stop this! I didn't plan for any of this!" I shouted as the wind picked up and it became hard to see.I had to close my eyes as the sand was flying all around
ALPHA ASHER'S POVA few days had passed and it was hard to stay in a room, starved. But the lady and I had gotten close a bit. Although, the normal would never speak to her to that extent, but this place was weird. You would do things you never thought you would ever do."Now it is time for the second phase. You will enter the illusion room and when you fight the illusion, you will be transported to where you wish to go to." The first werewolf announced, looking at each and everyone of us.We were ready to go into the illusion room and I feared for my new friend, because I found out that she usually was scared over things easily, but there was no way I could go on this journey with her.I also hoped that I would be able to conquer whatever the illusion brings to me and I kept reminding myself that anything that happens there is not real. I just needed to wield through. I hid the fear that could have shown in my expression, so that the lady would be encouraged to face it on.“Remember
ALPHA ASHER'S POVI went into the forest and tried to pick up trails, but I didn't find any and I decided that I would start checking different kingdoms and small packs to check for Marsai. Although, that would have been easier if I took a few warriors, but this would be as a punishment to me for the bad I had done to Marsai.As I kept walking, I fell into an underground and I groaned. I didn't expect to fall into anywhere, but then as I looked back up at the hole I had fallen into, it was covered already. What problem had I entered into again, I didn't know, but I was fed up with the different, tiring things that kept happening.I decided to walk where the path led to and it seemed like there was no end and then I noticed someone was somewhere not far from me. All along, I could see a figure with my side eye, but I didn't think too much about it until now that I was frustrated that I had been walking for what seemed like hours now.Then I looked to my side and saw a man, dressed in b
MARSAI’S POVI woke up and my eyes felt heavy. It felt as if I had been asleep for a few days, which I wondered how that could have been possible. My eyes stinged as I tried to open them, and then I knew I had to be patient for them to be able to adjust to the light.After the struggle for over a few minutes to open them, I was finally able to and I saw a lady, looking at me and beaming with smiles.“Who are you?” I asked as I sat up, scared of what she was going to do to me.Although, I wasn’t that scared, because she had a smiley face and she didn’t look like she was going to hurt me. “I am not going to hurt you. Just stay calm.” She said, with a smile and gestured with her hands, like she wants me to calm down.“Then who are you?” I asked as I curled up on one part of the bed.“I am Flora and I am a maid in this pack, who is assigned to serve you and assist with whatever you need.” She introduced herself, with a bright smile.“A maid? As in mine?” I asked, out of surprise.“Yes.”
ALPHA ASHER’S POVWhen I announced that we were going to have a combat, I noticed that Marsai’s expression changed, like she was uncomfortable. She was probably scared that she can’t fight well, but that was going to be the beginning of her training. It would be best if she knew how to fight for herself in case of times that she was alone and someone wanted to hurt her.“Hey bro, I’ll like to see you.” Sam said, staring into my eyes like he had a lot to say.We both went to my quarters and when we got to my room, I sat on the couch and laid back on it.“Alright, I am all ears. What do you have to say?” I said as I crossed my legs on the small table in front of the couch.“Well, I am certain that you would have taken a wild guess. I am here to talk about Marsai and you need to take this, serious.” “Alright, I am ears.”“I understand the fact that you really do not know how to let out your emotions, even when you want to, but I think it should be possible for you to reduce the way you
Marsai’s povAfter the contest, my tummy began to grumble and it made me feel uneasy. Have I eaten too much or I ate something wrong that wasn’t cool with my system. My tummy rumbled again. It seemed like I had already stuffed too much in my tummy and I was ready to visit the powder room, in order to feel better.On the way to my room, I met Alpha Asher and it seemed as If he wanted to say something, which I was curious to hear about.“Well, I want to talk to you about a few things.” He said, looking straight into my eyes.But as much as I wanted to hear what he was about to say, I could not hold it in any longer. I needed to use the toilet as soon as possible and it would be so embarrassing if I started farting.““I’m sorry. Can we talk later? I think I have to visit the powder room.” I said, looking uneasy.Before he could say any other word, I dashed off to my quarters as fast as I could, because I could not bear it any longer.Immediately I got into my room, I went to the toilet
MARSAI’S POV“Alright guys. Till we meet again.” Some people said as we all parted.It was a nice time which we had together and it made me feel depressed that the school where I had most of my lit memories had now come to an end. What was I going to do now that school has finally come to an end? I was not going to see Tasha five times a week anymore, although, it was possible that I would be able to see her, once in a while, which was obviously not enough.“Hey, Marsai.” Tasha called out to me, with tears, welled up in her eyes.She hugged me so tight that I understood why she hugged me that tight. We were no longer high school students and it was no longer certain when we were going to see anymore.“When next should we meet, Tasha?” I asked, trying to comfort myself with the next date on my mind.“I am afraid that we may never see anymore, except when we visit. Adam is moving to another faraway kingdom and my family has agreed that I go with him.” She said, looking sad.My heart bro
