EZRA'S POV Immediately, I stood up and went to prepare. I left my house and started the journey on my own without telling anybody. I needed no driver since I could drive all by myself. I parked my car by the road side because that was where a car could take rest. In order to continue my journey, I had to trek the remaining fifty kilometers. My stomach was making so much noise, I knew it needed food because I was a little bit hungry, but the journey was very important to me. When I got there, everywhere looked so lonely and dry, I couldn't see anybody nor hear any sound. "Hope I am not in the wrong place?" I came to this place with my father when I was just Eight years old. So,I could still remember the environment. I saw a door opposite where I was standing, it was open. I walked in through the door, I could see a reflection of what seemed like a candle light, I walked into the room and I heard a shaky voice "Stop!" I stood still, frightened. "Come forward bare footed" I
Valerie was so worried that since yesterday, he hasn't come back to his house. Chelsea planned on using Ezra's disappearance to plot evil on Valerie. Chelsea went about telling people that Ezra spent the night in Valerie's house and since then he has not returned to his house. People started asking Valerie different questions, she kept defending herself that she woke up that morning and couldn't find him. She has been trying to call him, but his line wasn't going through. They told her that, for the fact he spent a night with her, she must bring him from wherever he is. Chelsea kept adding more lies to the issue on ground,adding more diesel to the burning fire. Valerie faced a lot of embarrassment and humiliation from people including the pack members. They came to her house for thorough search, and ended up turning her house upside down. Anywhere she goes, people keep pointing fingers at her. She cried her eyes out, lost appetite to food which made her lose weight. Chelsea w
VALERIE'S POV "Anybody home?" I said as I closed the door behind me, Walking towards the living room. I saw my mom coming out from the kitchen. "Mom!" I walked towards her and hugged her tightly. "Valerie, how are you my daughter?" "Very well mom" "So happy to see you. I was actually preparing something in the kitchen before you arrived. So, my dear, go up to your, freshen up and come down" my mom spoke with so much excitement in her voice. "Okay mom" I went up to my room, observed the environment. I know I missed my room, especially the privacy. I brought out my phone, and plugged it to charge. My phone battery was dead during my journey. I kept thinking of Ezra, I couldn't wait for my phone to charge so that I could keep trying his line. I entered the bathroom, sat down in the bathtub filled with warm water. I put on the shower, so that my hair could feel the water too. I soaked myself in there. I rubbed my hair with my hands, and I remembered how frustrated I wa
Chelsea prepared a very delicious meal and packaged it. She got prepared and dressed seductively to visit Ezra. Ezra heard the doorbell ring, he rushed to open the door and saw Chelsea looking so sexy. He observed that she was carrying a food basket. "Can I come in?" She asked, smiling. Ezra doesn't know if to send her back or allow her. "Come in" "Thank you" "So, what brought you to my house?" She cleared her throat. "Have you found Valerie?" "Yes, I have found her. Any problem? Her mood changed. "Where is she?" She asked. "That I can't tell you" "Anyways, that aside. I brought you a delicious meal. You will love it" "I am not hungry" "Okay, but you will still be hungry" "I don't need it" She felt bad. "So after going through all the stress, you are rejecting the food" "But I never told you to prepare anything" "I thought that since Valerie wasn't around to cook for you, I should try and help since she is my friend" Ezra knew her tactics. But, he was hungry.
VALERIE'S POV "Valerie, come and sit with me Dear.Let's talk about your experience over there" My Dad said sweetly What does my father want me to say? I have never enjoyed discussing it with my dad because of how strict he is. "Dad, there is nothing much to say. But, I enjoy the place". Praying that he does not ask another question. "What of Ezra? How is your relationship with him?" "Very fine dad, he has been busy of late. I try as much as I can to assist him" "So, what are his plans towards you? I have been waiting to hear a good news, but no one seems to be updating me" "Uhmm, we are still in the process sir" "For how long? I mean how long will it take you two to make your decisions" "Dad, like I said, we are working on it. We are just taking our time so as to avoid making mistakes" "Alright, there is no cause for alarm. I and your mother await good news. But, Ezra should remember that you are our only child and daughter. It is because you are his mate, I would have g
My mother concluded that I won't be going to school that day. I was happy. She gave me my breakfast and I had to sleep all through the morning. I missed classes because of my foolishness but, I still didn't learn. I had a particular phone that my dad gave me to be able to reach him or my mom whenever I am left alone at home. I was instructed never to give the number to anybody, but I was very stubborn. Maya my friend has the number. She called me that Friday night to ask why I didn't come to school, I lied to her that I was sick. She told me that one of our classmate's mother was going to celebrate her birthday on Saturday night which was the next day. How was I supposed to leave the house for a party that is not my mate's? Maya told me she had a plan. That she would come to my house with her elder sister, then she will call my phone so that I could come out. She urged me to make sure I get prepared on time. I asked Maya if her elder sister knows the celebrant. She told me tha
"Dad, are you saying I am free to go?"He looked at my mom. "Yes, your dad considered the fact that your class teacher called and pleaded. We don't want you to feel somehow different from your classmates" my mother spoke"You are free to go but promise us that you will behave yourself, and represent us well" Dad asked"I promise dad" placing my hand on my chest as a sign of promise. I went back to my room, feeling so excited. I called Maya on the phone and shared the great news with her. I started preparing ahead of that day. I couldn't wait for that day to come. One of my excitements were because I was going to experience life outside home for a few days without my parents. During break hours in school, the excursion was the major topic we all talked about. I became less concerned about my studies. The night before our departure, my mom came into my room and gave me a few clothes she bought from the stores. She helped me arrange those clothes in my bag including the ones meant f
I left her and went back to my bed. The next morning, Maya came and apologized to me which I accepted. We went to take our bath. I came back to my bed, so that I could call my mother and say good morning to her but, my phone was nowhere to be found. I knew I kept it under my pillow, I searched in my bags but it was not there. I started crying. Maya came to me and asked what was wrong. I told her that i could not find my phone. "Again? Who took it?" "I don't know" I left her there, went to report to the teacher about the incidence. "Why will you be the only one looking for something? Maybe you are careless, try to be careful with your belongings" I was not satisfied. At least she should have come to the room and helped me search for it. It was then I knew that we had thieves living among us. There was no way to reach home. I knew mom would be worried. I made a silent prayer, I wish to leave here soon and save. That day, we were told that the main excursion starts immedia
