All Chapters of THE SUPERS: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

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 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 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 Seven I 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
