Chapter Six
I was worried. That day was the biggest day in the whole country and the world at large, yet there we were, lying on the soft beds while our parents were worried sick about us. Sam was already awake and with Koyala in his office discussing whatever it was they were discussing. I had gone to the room Maya was in to check on her. It is not everyday that you get to see who has been stabbed survive, far worse that was a sword. They said it was an alloy of some metals and steel. Steel was bad for their health as it poisoned their blood making it clot. The team doctors had worked tirelessly on her not to lose her. She was Koyala's favorite and everything had to be done to keep her alive for him. Koyala had watched the whole operation from scratch till it came to an end. He just stared into the room through the glass wall. He was afraid she would not make it. There was a point her heart stopped beating and he
Chapter SevenI kept on imagining all the food I was to eat, and I'm sorry if I always think about food but it's a stage, just understand me. We had been promised that we would be taken swimming too in town, at the prestigious Jumia Hotel. Wendy was excited about the idea. She even bought herself a pair of swimming costumes and put it next to her bed, just in case someone tried to steal it. I woke up early the next morning despite having gone to bed late. I needed to prepare on time. I had not not even a second to lose. I went and switched on the television. They aired cool movies and animations on Christmas days and I was not willing to miss that year's.Mom got up and started cleaning the house as Aunt Faiza washed the dishes and prepared breakfast. Grandma went to check on her poultry as grandfather was still sleeping. It was going to be a great day indeed. Mustafa
IChapter One"Junior, get up! How many times do I have to shout at you just to wake you up?" my mother shouted from the living room. I never quite got enough sleep last night despite having gone to bed early. I think we, growing kids, need more time to sleep than anyone else. Sensing the anger in her voice I forcibly got myself up, though my eyelids refused to open at first no matter how hard I tried. Then all over sudden it struck me. Damn,I was late for school. Not again! I quickly got into my uniforms and without much hesitation rushed down for breakfast only to find my mother staring at me in a rather displeased way."Come on, really, why do you have that one on?""I'm late for school Mama, you didn't wake me up on time," I accused.
Chapter TwoOf all the friends that Sam had me introduced to, I particularly had a liking for Felix. He was unique in a way and we seemed to share the same interests, like the love for superheroes, most specifically the Superman guy. Eventually, we got bored of playing soccer and some of the kids we were playing with headed to their homes. It was too early for us to go home, so we decided to play Hide and Seek afterwards, a game in which you hide and someone has to find out where you are. It was only the three of us, Sam, Felix and I. You know how the kids back in the rurals are always controlled by the city kids? Well, Felix and I hid and I made Sam look for us. After struggling, he finally found us. It was then Felix's turn. We got into the bush to hide with Sam. I found a perfect spot but Sam seemed to have been attracted to the same spot so I moved to the next bush. Sam kept on following me, despite my attempts to stop him. We kept on moving from one point to th
Chapter Three"Can somebody please turn off the lights! God, why is it so bright in here? And what is that beeping sound, mom? Can't I just sleep peacefully,please," I complained. The room I was in was all bright and I could sense movements all around me. There was one bright light right on top of my face, as I was lying with my front side facing upwards. I assumed it was our room at grandma's place. The place seemed busier than grandma's house. I tried getting out of bed but I could not. I could feel neither of my limbs no matter how much I struggled."Take it easy, it is alright," came a voice out of nowhere."Who is there and where is grandpa?"
Chapter FourFour days had gone by with me trying my best to be mad at everybody, but you just know the stage I was in. Keeping my mouth shut was never an easy thing, especially to mom. I spent most of my time with my grandfather in the backyard. His stories were always amusing. I was fed up with staying there in the rurals, but what could I do, whatever mom said, was final. After all, we had come for the Christmas celebrations and it was like a week to the day. I had not even thought of Sam. He always came to look for me immediately when he took his breakfast, but that day he had not come yet. So that afternoon I sought to go look for him. Staying indoors was hectic, I wondered how grandpa managed to do so the whole day, all week. Sam's family had built their home just a few metres from the main compound, only that if you wanted to go there you had to go through the main gate then g
Chapter Five*In Myozola*Koyala and his team teleported to an abandoned building. It used to be their headquarters before they were forced to move out when the Force's soldiers kept on ambushing them."I can't imagine this used to be a fortress, a place where everyone knew they would be safe. Now look at how it is," said Maya. Maya's mother was a healer and had been taken captive by the Force. She hadn't heard from her for a very long time. She didn't even think she would be alive. The place brought back bad memories and Koyala understood, so he just went over to her and assured her that it would be over soon."Kralis, contact Kran. We need
