CHAPTER ONE

GLOWING HANDSThe air was heavy with rain from earlier and the night was silent, almost as though it was waiting.The tents flapped gently with the sway of the wind, the footsteps and their voices of men echoed in the night air. Horses quietly nuzzled on some grass while men filled their jugs with water from the clear stream.“Sir, we have her in your tent.”Xavier opened his eyes and accessed his right hand, Maxwell. He eyed the long bleeding gash across his cheek and arched a brow.“She was a little bit unwilling to cooperate.” He explainedXavier nodded standing and followed Maxwell’s lead. They both stopped in front of a tent, two men standing guard bowed in reverence. Xavier nodded in acknowledgment; Maxwell raised the flap of the tent and with his other hand stretched a lantern.“We had to sedate her but she should be awake soon.” He informedXavier walked inside and set the lantern on the table; he pulled a chair to the centre of the room and quietly watched the sleeping form c...

CHAPTER TWO
“Keep quiet, I think someone is following us.” he interrupted and whispered Vanessa looked around, she couldn’t make anything out in the darkness, and then she saw a man raise a bow and arrow. She tapped his shoulder anxiously “We need to move quickly.”He held her hand and steered them as arrows came flying one nearly missing Xavier’s head. The arrows temporarily stopped and they were quickly followed by footsteps.Xavier listened carefully, they were just three. It would be easy. He pinned her to a tree“Do not move, I won’t take too long.” She rolled her eyes and scoffed. He looked at her more sternly and she shrugged and nodded.He ran in the direction of the oncoming men. She watched his accurate movements, the three of them circled him and attacked.He ducked when a punch came, and moved sideways to avoid the jab of a knife. Xavier pulled out his sword and slit a throat. He wiped some blood from his face, he faced the remaining two.Vanessa sat in the distance watching, he had

CHAPTER THREE
POISON Xavier opened his eyes. It was still dark but he could tell it was morning already. He reached under the blanket to touch his wound but it was gone, almost like it was never there. He saw Vanessa huddled against a tree sleeping. He sat up and tapped her.“Am keeping watch.” She muttered sleepily. He smiled at her and helped her lie down and cover her body properly.“Who knew you were capable of a smile.” “I’ll keep watch” he respondedVanessa nods closing her eyes.Vanessa looked directly at the blue sky as Xavier walk around her gathering things. The events of the previous day were finally hitting her.She had killed a man without second thought. She had killed a man. The same way Drew had taught her“We need to get moving.” Xavier said breaking her from her thoughts.He offers his hand and pulls her to her feet and he leads the way. They walk quietly through the trees until they get to what seems like a path. The grass looked like it had been trampled down by numerous fee

CHAPTER FOUR
The sun was about to set, Xavier moved quickly so they could get to the stream before dark. She stirred in his arms and moved in closer, the weather was getting chilly. The stream sparkled in the light of the setting sun. Xavier placed her gently on the ground and covered her. The water looked inviting, but he couldn’t leave her alone. He started searching for fire wood nearby.Vanessa rushed to her feet and hurried to the bush nearby and vomited, she felt her hair move as Xavier held it for her, as she turned to say thank you bile rushed up her throat and she quickly turned away and kept vomiting fruit and blood. Her stomach was soon empty, Xavier stretched out a can of water to her and left.Vanessa watched his feet as they moved away, she lifted the can to her mouth, moved the water about in her mouth and spat it out. She did this twice and poured some of the water in her palm and washed her face. She crawled her way back to where she was lying down and rested her back against a tr

CHAPTER FIVE
THE TRAINThe air smelled like rain and the wind had picked up speed. After much struggle Xavier had managed to kill a rabbit. He slowly made his way back to their camp.A piercing scream filled the night air and Xavier raced back to their camp leaving the rabbit he caught on the floor.Vanessa struggled to think. Her hands were tied behind her also her feet and Lord Fletcher had been talking nonstop which only added to her annoyance. Where was Xavier when she finally needed him? She was too weak from the effects of the poison she had earlier ingested. Wasn’t this guy even tired of chasing her? What was wrong with taking a break? A fat rain drop landed on her cheek, she shivered in the cold. Xavier quietly accessed the situation, charging in won’t be any good. Lord Fletcher looked like he was alone but he knew someone like him wouldn’t go anywhere without his guards, the must be waiting for him to show up. He looked at Vanessa to make sure she was okay, her eyes looked drowsy. She

A TOWN
A TOWNVanessa laid down trying to fill her lungs with air, the baggage car smelled damp and heavy but she didn’t mind. Every part of her body ached unforgivingly. Xavier lay not too far from he was staring at the ceiling, his chest rising and falling with every breath he took. Vanessa turned and instantly remembered the bullets still lodged in her, the thought of having to fish them out made her shut her eyes to build up strength for the oncoming pain.She got a lighter and Xavier’s dagger and put the dagger on the flame. The bullets wounds had already fully healed. She rested her back on a crate and flexed her right leg, Xavier stretched out his hand and collected the lighter from her. Vanessa placed the hot blade against her skin and it seemed to go through easily, she bite her tongue and some sounds escaped her mouth as she groaned in agony, blood ran down her leg as she made an incision at the back of her right thigh large enough for her to stick about two fingers. She quickly s

CHAPTER SEVEN
Despite how tired he was Xavier couldn’t get any rest. He mentally berated himself for failing to protect her. She slept against him without stirring, his chest constricted anytime her remembered the amount of pain she had been through, the train was gradually slowing down, he gently placed her on the floor and opened the door. The sun was just beginning to rise. He quickly gathered their bags and possessions then reluctantly tapped Vanessa. She looked at peace while sleeping“What happened?” Vanessa asked“We’re at our stop. We need to get down and I’ll carry you the rest of the way.”She nodded and Xavier helped her to her feet, the train screeched as it stopped and Xavier jumped down the Vanessa followed. Xavier moved towards her to carry her but she pushed him away.“Just because I cried yesterday doesn’t mean I need your help.”“That’s not why am offering to carry you.”“Then why and don’t say it’s because you know am tired.”Xavier looked away without responding.“Since you don’

A NORMAL DAY
Xavier walks into his parent’s room and headed for his mother’s closet. This room was the second largest in the house, the balcony doors were open letting in light and breeze, the curtains swayed in the wind. As he went through the closet for something that would fit Vanessa he saw the dress. It was a white cottage dress with long puffed sleeves. He touched it like he was scared of it, he couldn’t help but imagine what Vanessa would look like in the dress. He smiled at the thought, white was too delicate a colour for her.He could remember that day too clearly, it was one of those memories that would never fade over time. Nana had been teaching him earlier how to control his feelings and thus have a better grip on his powers.Shortly after that he was in an argument with his mother, in his anger he screamed and grabbed her hand. She had looked at him so lovingly and as he was about to storm off he watched his mother slump to the ground. He rushed to her but she tried to hide the woun

A NORMAL DAY 2
After the accident with his mother he withdrew from everyone, particularly her because she always wanted him to use his powers. To at least have some sort of control over them, he had shut down and focused more on building himself physically, but she knew physical strength wouldn’t be enough to satiate him. Nana sighed, she knew he would learn eventually. Hopefully when it’s not too late“Go and check on her. Take a shower then come down for breakfast.” Nana instructed him. Xavier wiped his hands on a towel and went up the stairs.He stopped in front of the door and knocked. There was no answer. He knocked again, a little louder in case she was still in the bathroom and she couldn’t hear. He was met with silence. His heart beat impulsively quickened, he couldn’t help worrying if something had happened to her. Xavier opened the door, he raced to the bathroom and searched frantically. He left the bathroom, and as he was about to call her name he noticed her sleeping on a chair.She had
