The spot I landed in the river was deep enough to swallow me whole. Bad luck on my side; I was a very poor swimmer. I'm not proud to say I don't know how to swim back then. It was after that tragic event did I learn to swim. Therefore, one can say that the good swimming skills which I possess today were learnt out of necessity.I tried to call for help each time the high current throws me to the surface. Just when I try to call Leah, water usually enters my mouth and I will end up struggling with how to contain the water. With each passing moment, I wasted trying to call Leah, the current of the river keeps pushing further into the deeper path. That went on for several minutes until I decided, enough was enough! I accepted my fate. I thought I was going to die because, all I could see then, was death, I was far from life. I'm very sure that by the time I was about to give up, I have already taken in lots of water into my body through my mouth and nose. I was closing my eyes to mother-
I plucked more of the flowers and hurried back to her grave. I didn't drop the flowers just like that without saying any words. "Leah, I know you can hear me from wherever you are. I want you to know that life has never been easy for me ever since you passed on. Your memory haunts and torments me every single passing day. Sometimes, I wonder how I can go on living with the only one I can call my true sister. I will be telling you a lie and to myself if, I say I'm not heartbroken. I'm not just heartbroken, I'm helpless as well. I want you to know that I will bring your killers and that of lady Gia, to justice soon. There was no single day that I don't dream of getting revenge but, it's okay. It's just a matter of time before I will have my dreams fulfilled. Yes, I'm talking about my dreams of having those killers nabbed in the bud forever, just like they have done to you. I pray that you always watch over me from above. I can't forget to tell you also, that I will be the happiest indi
I was pretty sure that Eric did not hear what we were talking about at the moment because he was almost five metres away from us. In other words, he was walking in the front, while we follow him from behind. Therefore, I can say that the discussion we were having was only between us."Well, Louis if you must know then, I will tell you. I held your hand so that you won't escape for the second time. How could you leave without telling me you wanted where you have gone? You know the security problems we have these days. Anyone can be a victim and go missing. Imagine the horrors you will experience if you were to be captured by the Revolutionists. Why can't you see, Louis that, this is for your good?" His face became a bit unfriendly perhaps, he was unhappy with the way I had left him without informing anyone. "I'm very sorry for leaving without telling anyone. You were arguing with him therefore, I thought it will be wise if I go and say hello to my late Sister-witch. My actions were n
"Make sure she doesn't escape this time! Keep pursuing her with every strength you have got for a day of reckoning has come!" Those were the words I heard while hiding above the big tree. I don't know how I got on top, so high of the tree. Maybe, it must have been a miracle. Death came knocking at my door but again, I escaped, maybe not for so long for the search was intense. Bradley was mean this time. He was indeed out for business."Four hundred pieces of silver on her head. I will pay anyone of you who can bring her alive to me. I will also promote you in my army. How many of you want to be promoted?" Bradley asked. The echoes of his men filled the air. They shouted; "I will! I will!Bradley's incentive on my head has not only got them talking but, has also brought them great jubilation, as I have never seen in my entire life. "That's right! That's what I thought! I know all of you want to be promoted in my army. If you want that then, bring the witch to me! If you can't bring h
"Listen up everybody!" Bradley try to continue despite the obvious objections and distraction from the thousands of soldiers who were listening to him. "In case you don't know him, his name is Steve. Son of Argon. Just like me and all of you he has dedicated his whole life to fighting the evil of the dark, called Witches. He is your comrade!"The crowd continued to boo him even when he tried to explain the good parts about Steve that favours them."He is a traitor! He is a thief!" I have seen him with the witches before! He is on their side and not on ours! He should be killed or he will grow like cancer and have all of us betrayed and killed! Master, if he could betray the witch and the Lycans with her, do you think he will serve you with loyalty? We reject him!" Those were some of the words the soldiers were saying right before Bradley. It was very clear that they have not accepted Steve as one of their own, therefore. Finally, it seems like I'm beginning to get the kind of reactio
"I'm not dead? What nonsense are you talking about, Loius? I'm not dead! Come on!" Leah's words were not just baffling but, were unbelievable as well. How could she claim to be alive when I saw her dead body being rolled in six feet above the ground and closed? Was she trying to fool me or what? Does our current situation look like a joke or something? The situation was a dire one! I couldn't swallow my spit because I was still sure that lead is dead. If this was Leah as she had claimed then, there was no way she climb up to meet me amid the tight security in the corner."Okay, fine I believe you are Leah. But, not so easy. I would like you to explain to me the following. "How did you climb to the top of this tree without being caught by the soldiers leaving the scene? Tell me how you evade them. I would like to hear you explain that to me."As I watched, a thin line of a gentle smile formed across her face. I couldn't account for the reason behind the smile on her face. Nevertheless,
Out of nowhere, Derek appeared. It seemed like he was among the men who took the Alpha to an unknown destination. He was walking from behind."Stop right here!" Derek ordered the men. He stretched his hands to one of the guards who quickly handed him the whip he was holding in his hand. Derek trashed the Alpha about five-stroke before grabbing his hair in such a way the Alpha will be hurt. "I warned you not to follow this path but, you never listened. You shouldn't have protected the witch but, you risked your life to do so. You should have handed her over to us and we could have let you live your miserable life. But now, you have no options because you have pushed us too far. There will be no redemption for you. The only way to end this is to feed your flesh to beasts of the air and the worms which inhabit the soil. You will make a great for them! Hahaha!" Derek laughed wickedly."You will pay for this, Derek!" The Alpha looked up before, focusing on Derek. "You will pay for this,
I screamed in horror upon opening my eyes. I couldn't believe it was a dream. Perhaps, it was a misnomer to call it a dream, it was a nightmare instead! My loud voice was not to be ignored by the Lycans. They quickly rushed to the bedroom where I was laying.The door moved inwards with full force when they opened it. The Alpha was the first to come in. "What's happened!""A few seconds later, Eric rushed in. "What the hell is going on here?" He hurried to sit beside my bird, just like the Alpha did before him. "What's the problem, Louis? Are you okay?" "Yes, tell us the problem. Was anyone here? Did anyone attack you?" Ammon stared through the open window to see if anyone was there. He focused back on me only when he was sure that, the suspicious window opening was free from any intruder. I could not answer any of their questions because I was still panting from the horrific image in my mind. I was speechless and all I could do was breathe even faster like I was in danger.Confused
