Arianna was dumbfounded as she looked at Brianna in the eye. She was fidgety already, will the secret about her powers be exposed? She thought. “How do I say no to this witch?” “Does she know about her losing her power already?” Arianna questioned herself. Brianna suddenly cuts in. “Zuma Ari just” was all Brianna could say before she was shunned by Zuma. “She should speak for herself,” Zuma said. Brianna who had been looking for ways to discard Zuma instantly picked an offense to Zuma’s statement. “What do you mean by speak for herself?” Brianna protested. Zuma looked at Brianna without any reaction. Brianna repeated herself shouting this time. Zuma was silent. Brianna knew her plan to upset Zuma wasn’t working. “Ari needs to rest, she only just got back from school” Brianna outcried. Zuma ignored Brianna “What do you have to say, Ari?” She asked. “Ari inside now!” Brianna commanded. “I just need a reply common Brianna!” Zuma shouted. Arianna was confused she didn’t
Arianna got the text while writing her homework and of course, Brianna had gotten her a new phone.Brianna got Arianna a new phone on the day scheduled for the previous monthly gathering.Arianna was overwhelmed with it as she was sad none of the dignitaries attended the gathering.As Arianna got the text, she wondered what he had to say to her.“Why is it urgent?” She asked herself aloud.“Could it be he’s tired of protecting her?”“Was that why he rushed back into his room?” Arianna mumbled.Arianna had always been an overthinker, she thought of possible reasons why he wanted to see her.She was lost in thought and another text from Brian brought her back.Without hesitating, she opened the text. Brian texted her the location where the meeting would be held.It was in his room!“His room?” She soliloquized.Arianna didn’t know whether to be happy or worried as she didn’t think he would invite her into his room.She hurriedly went downstairs and headed towards Brian's room.Arianna
Arianna was confused as to what to say.“Should I embrace his confession?”“I might as well turn it down?”“Is it the right time?” Arianna thought.Brian wondered what could be going through her mind.Arianna’s lips continued moving, yet Brian couldn’t hear a word.“I should head to my room now to get some sleep” Arianna finally uttered loudly.“Really!”“That was all she could say?” Brian said to himself.But could complain after all he told her to take all the time in the world.“Sure!”“Early to bed early to rise!” Brian replied smiling.That sounded like a primary school line to Arianna as she smiled half-heartedly.Brian couldn’t hide his anxiousness anymore “Are you sure you don’t have anything to say?” he asked.Arianna replied saying “I am tired”.“I didn’t ask if you were tired!”“Of course I expected you to be after chasing me round the whole room,” Brian said to himself.“I should go now,” Arianna said as she headed towards the door.Brian stretched his hand forth to touch
The horn of the car brought her back to her senses, it was her driver’s horn.Lyn the driver was trying to signal Arianna he had reached school.As he drove into the school’s compound, he found a space to park the car. As soon as he parked Brian alighted from the car, Lyn expected Arianna to do the same.After a few minutes, Arianna still didn’t alight from the car.Lyn looked at her through the front mirror and noticed she was lost in thought, hence the reason he honked.The sound of the honk frightened Arianna.She questioned Lyn why he had to honk harshly.“We’ve arrived at school for a while now and you didn’t alight with the general” Lyn confessed.Arianna looked through the window and realized Brian had alighted already.“You should have notified me earlier,” Arianna said to Lyn in a low tone.Brian was worried he wondered what was keeping Arianna in the car.He opened the car door to ask, Arianna was also planning to alight already.Before Brian could ask why Arianna said “I wa
The rest of the class except the educator, the speaker, Arianna, and Brian burst into laughter. Arianna was lost. “Why was the police involved?” “Alice and Lucas would soon be apprehended?” “Who is the witch?” These questions ran through her mind. The educator replied to the student saying “Nobody told you the culprit was a witch!” “Can you all focus now!”. The students stopped laughing and brought out their books. The educator commanded them to submit the previous assignment she had given them. She went round as she checked the students' solution one at a time. Soon she reached Brian’s desk and didn’t find his notebook on his table. “Where’s your assignment?!” She inquired. “It.....s” Brian stuttered. Brian tried attempting the assignment questions when he went into his room after dinner, he found it difficult and couldn’t ask Arianna for the solutions. He suggested he answered the associated questions anyhow but remembered he was on probation. The assignment might be
Brian who was still sitting close to her noticed she was lost in her thoughts.He thought of something funny he could do to bring her back“Maybe I should crack a joke?” “Considering her present mood, she might not find it funny”“I probably should allow her to ponder on what next to do”“All this would be over soon my dear Ari” Brian said to himself.He ran his eyes over her as her eyes were still closed.Brian stood up to sit by her bedside, “Rubbing my hands on her hair should make her feel better”.Arianna felt his soft hands on her hair, it made her relieved indeed.Brian continued rubbing his hands on her hair until he heard a knock on the door.“Common in, the door is opened” Brian uttered.The door was opened by Lyn as he walked in.Brian was surprised to see Lyn by that time, it wasn’t closing hours yet.“Lyn!” Brian called.Arianna opened her eyes as she heard Brian say, Lyn.She found out it was Lyn “What are you doing here at this time?” She inquired.“I’ve searched every
Brianna went stay to her direct message after logging into her Instagram account, it was indeed a mess.There we more than three hundred and fifty unread messages, “Ari how many unread messages do you usually have?” Brianna inquired.“About approximately fifty” Arianna replied.“You have over three hundred and fifty now,” Brianna said as she shook her head.“Maybe opening them wouldn’t be a good idea as you suggested” Brianna mentioned.“Yes mum” Arianna replied.Brianna dropped Arianna’s phone as she sighed, she held her hands together as she thought of what next to do.She was already saddled with the recent murder and now her daughter’s secret had been leaked.“I just hope your father isn’t sleeping in his grave”“This is too much for us to handle” Brianna uttered.Arianna could tell her mother was exhausted, she wasn’t the type to complain of being tired, she had always been the strong one.“How I wish he was here with us during these trial times,” Arianna said.Brianna’s countena
“What if the cops found nothing?” Arianna asked after being silent for a while.“Not even a clue? that’s impossible” Brianna answered.“They could have clues without a concrete lead” Arianna protested.“Clue without a lead? That’s rather impossible”“The pack’s cops are known for their tenacity, they’ve already been saddled with the onus of fishing out the perpetrators”“I’m confident they wouldn’t let us down and the pack members at large” Brianna commented.“The cops you say? Mum”“Let me take you on a trip down memory lane, When Father was gruesomely murdered by Zora, the cops assured us they would hunt the culprits right?”“Seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and even years had passed by right?”“Have they gotten any lead still yet?”“Will they get any soon? I doubt”“They are still yet to get to the root of his murder even though he was Alpha and you want me to sit back and trust them?”“No way! Mum!” Arianna enunciated.“Arianna let’s await their response first, from t
