I gripped the steering really hard with a smirk across my face while I tried to play car race on them. I maneuvered the car to a path that had a signboard with a bodly written word tableted on it.'ROAD STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTIONDanger zone, keep off'Val caught my quick glance on the signboard with a soured look. He still wasn't out of the shock that I could drive and...and now seeing me drive into what seemed like a danger zone choked him on his saliva."Mia, you are crazy already. This says danger zone, stop the car""Don't be a worried freak. Just have faith in me. If those bad people get us, we are doomed""How do you know they are bad people?" He queried, eyes not looking off my face as I was still focused on driving deep into the road that smelled danger."The same question I have for you. You started running from them didn't you?" I fired back as he kept his mouth shut.What he didn't know was that I had some plans up my sleeve. Didn't just enter the stupid road without thinkin
Author's POVNanny pen moved away from the rice after checking to see if it needed more water to it before she plodded to where Val and Mia were both seated. She handed both of them a glass of orangeade each and sat on the single couch closest to the dining area."So, do you want to discus anything with me?" She asked"No, nanny. Val and I will just be in the room to discuss maths. I have competition next week, next week... Val what day is it?"Val turned away from his juice to reply me "Thursday and today is friday""That is also good news! Val, you wait here please" Mia said, leaving his side to go and bother her parents over something.They were laid on the bed with only her mom sleeping and her dad on his phone as his back was still laid on the bed."Honey, what are you doing in our room?" Mr Carson asked, dropping his phone on the bedside table to receive the girl's reasons for coming in there.Mia began "Dad, since today is Friday, wouldn't it be a perfect day for the picnic? We
"Welcome to Metropolitan museum of Art. I'm Joshua, your tour guide" the tour guide said to the three of them before winking at the 13 year old girl.The three of them nodded, expecting the tour to begin. It quite began as if if he had read their minds."Joshua, is that not Mary Cassatt's painting on young Mother sewing?" Mia asked, still holding unto Lola's left hand."Yes, this is Mary Cassat's painting on young Mother sewing 1900. In this painting you can see the mother of the girl is seated, with her child perched on her mother's knee as she does her sewing. This...""We have eyes Mr Joshua, can you just explain the meaning?" Lola retorted, getting sick of being told what she was seeing with her own two eyes.A/N I so love paintings but later on began to know a painting's worth through it's meaning. I'm not drifting from the story line though but this chapter is for a reason., continue.The tour guide's eyes landed on the anxious girl before he continued without any offense."A lo
After the jostle in the car, he finally halted the car in front of a huge building in the woodland. No one would imagine the building was there except they were too curious.It's actually a sanctuary home which Raven had built for refugees that were attacked in a remote town by the werewolves or any places they had escaped from.They were able to get treatments and free food to survive on while most of them seemed to have their sons work with Raven since she was their life saver. Even females were volunteers for this kind of job.As she walked into the sanctuary upon the gate guards opening of the gates, she was greeted first by little chidren all holding books."Lady boss, you are welcome" a 13 year old girl the same height as Lola said approaching her."I see you guys are still having class, well done kids" She commended. It was no surprise seeing that the kids had access to home school and even with that, Raven gave them access to real school but boarding while some chose to go fro
Raven chuckled, grabbing the apple in the basket on a stool not far from her reach as she took a bite from the apple still looking at Delilah.“Your demon is gnashing and wailing out of anger and you know why?” Mia asked the puzzled lady still feeling the heatness of her demon's agony.Delilah's eyes blazed dark before it dawned on her that she was feeling her demon leaving her. “Raven, wh...""Shhh hush! My dear Delilah, can't you see I'm doing you a favor here hm?""No, you are killing me this way. If she leaves me then I will die. I'm supposed to be in hell with her" Delilah cried in pain."Trust me Delilah. Morgana lied to you. She's a demon and demons lie. That's their way of living in humans to the fullest. I am afraid I don't want her to exist here anymore" Raven said throwing the half eaten apple aside, rising from the seat too as she caressed the girl's cheek."She is gone and you are free"Delilah knew the demon was gone from her. She felt different just like she was when sh
When he was done eating, he kept bothering her to tell him about the things going on in her school. She told him she was just spying for the meantime.However, she didn't leave the bullying part aside because he was trustworthy enough to know. "You mean you let them bully you all for a mission? Mia, I think this is the height of it" he pointed out.She chuckled lightly going over to his side with a beaming smile that could ease anyone's worries. "It isn't anything that I can't handle. Besides, I'm immune to pain now owing that the pain of years ago has taught me a lot. I may appear weak before them but I'm a slow poison in the dark. Trust your pumpkin"He shook his head and just then the door was pushed open revealing their parents."Dad! Look who's here" Mia rushed over to them"Is that who I think it is?" Mrs Carson was flabbergasted."Yes mom, it's me Henry. I'm very much alive" he said watching the look of sadness that brushed up on her face.Mr Carson: unbelievable! We all thoug
The morning sun perched on Mia's face through the window as usual as she stood up and pulled up the binds staring through the window where she spotted two kids.One was older and she was a girl of about ten, she was trying to defend her little brother from the street bullies, assume so."Your brother rode his bike over our toys" The first bully gushed out."Why put toys in the way? Sister, they wanted me to trip and crash into the tree" the younger boy cried.The sister hushed him trying to examine things, she may be younger but she was at least a year older than the leader of the bullies."You hurt my brother one time, I give you double of it. You hurt him double, I give you double of it" the girl realized they were grinning and mocking at her with a laughter so she grabbed the leader by his hair."When next you touch my brother or lay a trap for him, I won't spare your ugly face at all" she was all fierce for a ten year old.A grin came on Mia's face as she took delight in watching
"There's a game, Mia" Lola cooed. She pulled Mia by her wrist to a rectangular glass box.Oh! such games where you have to play and win a toy or something."I want a pony" Mia said."Why's this in a sweets store?" Mia was puzzled."Because it's also the reason why kids would bring their momma to patronize them" She said "So, now would you win me a pony?""Haven't your brother won any for you?" Mia asked"He sucks at the game. One time he almost punched the glass in pieces.""That bad? Fine I'm a guru at this. I will win it for you" Mia said readying herself. She had played this before, not a new thing. Henry had taken her places when they were kids and they did played this a lot anytime she wanted new dolls and the likes.While Mia focused on winning the pony for the girl, someone was watching her secretly. "Here, a pony for Lola Leonardo" Mia said as the girl grabbed it happily."This is softer than it looks. I like it. In fact Mia, my brother is so wicked. He kept such a kind sis a
