“I think I heard something outside.” Minx said, going toward the door to see if anyone was around the area.“I think we should stop hiding. I love you and I don’t wanna hide anymore.” Gabriel said.“What? Are you insane? Don’t you know what I am? Your people would never accept me” Minx said.“So we should continue hiding? Looking over your noses? I can’t continue like this. I mean my best friend may have feelings for me, I need her to know that I’m with someone else before it gets out of hand.” Gabriel said. He was getting upset.“Well… For that to be done, we have to hide the truth about my bloodline. I’ve never practiced magic, so it will be difficult to smell me out.” Minx said, as she hugged Gabriel.Gabriel was so happy, he’d take her home soon. His mom would be happy. But then he knew his friends, Gordon and Amanda would be mad at him. He left for the party without telling them first. That was because he went with Minx and he wasn’t ready to introduce them yet.Gabriel and Minx
“Where are you guys? I just got home.” Gabriel said over the phone.“In my room.” Gordon said, hesitantly.“Okay, I’m coming.” Gabriel said and ended the call.Gordon and Amanda dressed up quickly and Amanda rushed to her quarters before Gabriel came in. She had diarrhea.“Good evening, uncle Oliver.” Gabriel said as he entered his quarters and headed to Gordon’s room.“Hey, man.” Gabriel said, he was seemed more enthusiastic than usual to see Gordon.“I’m sorry I left without you guys. I must confess, it was Minx. I’m sorry for keeping it from you all this while.” Gabriel said as he fell to the bed, he was so excited that he and Minx had taken their relationship to the next level, no more hiding.“Whoa, that’s a great man. How long have you two been together?” Gordon said, feigning surprise.“About two months…” Gabriel said, smiling sheepishly.“That long? You kept it from me, that ain’t fair, though.” Gordon said.“I’m sorry, man. Minx wasn’t ready for it yet.” Gabriel said.“It’s a
That evening after practice, Gabriel left the house, he had a date with Minx.They met at a fancy restaurant, Roosevelt’s place.Minx was never a dress lover, she wore a pair of light blue jeans that were ripped a little around her knees, a fancy pink blouse, and brown ankle sock boots. Her brown hair was styled in a bob and she carried a small fancy bag. She looked really pretty, Gabriel couldn’t get his eyes off her when she walked into the restaurant.Gabriel waved to call her attention to where he was. She smiled and walked to him.Gabriel stood up and they greeted each other in the Italian way, Gabriel kissed her right cheek while she kissed his left and then alternated to kiss her left cheek while she kissed his right cheek.All the while, they enjoyed the fragrance of each other’s perfume.“Thanks for meeting me.” Gabriel said as he cut his way through the huge chunk of meat before him.Minx blushed as she said “it’s my pleasure.”They chatted away happily and when they were
Minx’s heart raced as her mother pointed to Gabriel’s shoes outside.“Who’s he?” Mrs Jackson, Minx’s mother asked.“A friend?” Minx managed to say, she wished the ground would open up and swallow her right that instant.Mr. Jackson didn’t pay attention to details, he only notices the obvious things and nothing was obvious enough.“Let’s leave the young girl to have fun. It was a long day at work, we should rest.” Mr. Jackson said, reluctant about the smell that filled the room.The beetroot oil didn’t take it all away because Minx didn’t take her time to cleanse the living room properly.“What’s that stench?” Mrs. Jackson asked.Minx’s already signed her fate, she was going to die this minute. “Uhh it’s the beetroot oil” Minx said, she was never good at lying.“Beetroot oil doesn’t have a smell. Anyways, I’ll get it changed. It seems old.” Mrs. Jackson said as she followed her husband upstairs into their room.”Minx heaved a deep sigh of relief, she thanked her stars that her mother
Gabriel was utterly dissatisfied with Gordon’s revelation but somehow, he blamed himself for it. If he had spent more time with them, they wouldn’t have started having lustful thoughts of themselves.“They’ve had sex?” Gabriel thought to himself. “They’re supposed to be like siblings, we all are.” But then he realized that they did not set rules for their relationship as friends.But he didn’t think himself holy though, he had a more complicated secret than the both of them. Amanda would never agree, even if Gordon does.He left the porch to catch his breath and cool off a bit when he got a call from an unknown number. He reluctantly picked up.“This is Mr. Harvey from REVOLUTION. I’m calling in respect of the application you sent in two months ago. Are you ready? You’ve been selected.” The voice said. It was a bit husky and not very audible, it sounded as though the speaker didn’t make any effort in speaking and didn’t bother if the person he was speaking to heard him or not. Gabrie
Years back…Elijah was once a clueless and innocent man, until one day that he took the bold step of owning his fate, and from that day on, everything went his way.“Daddy, where do you always go?” Bella asked.“The great gate, darling. I’ve been tasked with the responsibility of guarding an important device.” Elijah replied.“What device? What does it do?” Bella asked again.“They said it can tell a person’s future,” Elijah said.“Whoa! That’s cool. Can we check ours?” Bella asked.“No, it’s forbidden.” He answered briskly.**After the attack of the gray-hound pack on the blood moon pack and Klara’s execution, people started leaving the pack house to find safer grounds. Elijah’s curiosity about the Larinth increased, he asked a few questions about the Larinth and they all checked out. He also did not like his current status, he wanted to be more for his wife and daughter, and he wanted to know his fate if he’d continue as a slave forever.One night when everyone had gone to their
“Darin still hasn’t recovered, that should mean something.” Seth contemplated. “But why do you think he shares vital information as this?” Oliver asked. “Because we think it’s vital, it may be a distraction. For what it’s worth, the upgrade has not been created yet. Maybe that’s why they’re recruiting young geniuses like Gabriel to finish off what they started.” Seth said “That’s a brilliant theory, Seth. It makes sense now. The easiest way to lure them is to present what they want the most; the promise of knowledge.” “Gabriel is so excited about this. It would crush him to hear that he’ll not be accepting the admission.” Seth said, his countenance wasn’t bright. “I’m sure Gabriel would understand, it’s a global threat. I’ll help in convincing him.” Oliver said, reassuring Seth. “Yeah… thanks.” Seth said. ** “Gabriel, you can’t accept the admission from Revolution,” Seth said softly and paused. He screened Gabriel’s face and understood how displeased he was which then begged t
Gabriel was confused, he was scared too, a thousand thoughts rushed into his mind at the same time. He was lost in his thoughts and didn’t hear when Amanda and Gordon called him.“Is everything alright?” Gordon asked.“No, everything is not alright. I’m in a big mess,” Gabriel said. He was scared and confused and couldn’t keep bottling everything up any longer. The secrets he carried weighed heavily on him that he sought desperately for someone to share his burden with.“What’s wrong?” Gordon asked.“I think history is about to repeat itself.” Gabriel said, his expression turned blank. Gordon and Amanda was confused, they hated when Gabriel talked like this, sometimes, it was difficult to understand him, and that’s why Amanda never takes Math lessons from him.“Gabriel, calm down and explain what you mean. We’ll get through this.” Gordon assured him. Gabriel knew that he meant every word.Amanda, Gordon, and Gabriel were the second-generation Seth and Oliver, the only difference is t
