EPISODE 44 - SEASON 2

7:12am...
Feathers, Josh, Collins and Owen had just finish dressing at Seven’s house. Fate had brought the four of them together under the same roof. The walked outside and waited for the girls. After few minutes, Mary and Anna walked gorgeously to them.

Seven had already ordered for a mini bus that will contain six passengers conveniently, Josh is very good at driving a minibus. He went to the driver's seat and others stepped inside.

Collins ensured that she sat beside Anna in the car.

Josh played Ed Sheeran’s music ‘Photograph’ from the bus’s media player and everyone was miming the song except Anna, the melody was so sweet that it made the atmosphere inside the car so calm and lovely as they drove to school.

Josh drove to the school garage, and everyone stepped down.

“I’m gonna go to the principal’s office now to discuss Anna’s enrollment in our school” Josh said and others nodded.

The guys shook themselves and gave Mary a slight hug excluding Owen who tried to avoid hugging Mary. Mary noticed but she ignored.

Everyone dispersed to their various classes.

Anna followed Josh to the Principal’s office.

Josh told the principal “Good morning sir” Josh greeted.

“Josh, have your sit, how do you do?” The principal who recognized Josh as the school Labour Prefect asked.

“I’m fine sir, this is my friend here, she goes by the name Anna, she came all the way from Korea and we want to enroll her here” Josh said.

“Oh! At this time of the term, the mid-semester had just passed. Anyways, I think she can still be considered at least because of you, you have been very hardworking as a Labour Prefect of this awesome school, take her to the school health center, let them run the usual series of test we perform on all our students in this school, let me know the outcome, if she fits in, you can take her to the Vice principal’s Admin for registration, take her afterwards to the school tailor to book a new uniform for her. Then lastly, pay her school fee to the bank and present the teller to the school’s bursar after which she has become a full time student of Kingston hi6gh School” The principal said.

Josh nodded.

“Thanks sir, I’m grateful” Josh said and walked out with Anna.

Anna kept stealing glances at Josh all during the times of registration. She wondered how a human can be this muscular, cute and handsome. But she doesn’t like how serious Josh is, he is too serious for her liking.

They were done with the registration after many hours, she is now a full time student of Kingston High School.

Josh led her to the V.P Academics office to test her and appoint what class she is gonna be.

The V.P ACAD informed her to sit on a student chair. A locker was in front of her. She was given a Mathematics and English text. The outcome of the result will tell the V.P ACAD what grade she is gonna be.

Anna checked the question and arched her brow, she had never done Mathematics in her life. In the other world, they don’t go to school, they do not even know Mathematics, English or any other subjects.

Josh sat far away from her and he thought inside of him that she may fail.

“How can you give someone that came from the village this test, what did you expect her to write?” Josh thought.

“Goddy, are you there” Anna said in her mind.

"Yes, I am, I guess you didn’t know any of the question given to you” Goddy said.

“I’m telling you, how did this man expect me to solve all this stuffs that I had never seen?” Anna said.

“I got the answers with me already” Goddy said and started dictating the answers for Anna.

Anna wrote down the answers silently in the answer sheet given to her. She submitted it after about an hour.

The V.P Academics adjusted his glasses. He told Anna to sit while he marks her answer sheet and determine what grade she should be.

The V.P marked and was surprised that Ana got every questions correctly.

“Anastasia, we have been expecting someone like you in our school, you are very brilliant, I was actually thinking of placing you in class 7 but not anymore, you are gonna be in class 8." The VP ACAD said.

The V.P ACAD scribbled her name into the names of students in class 8. He informed Josh to lead her to her class.

Josh did and went back to his class.

Anna was still putting on mufty unlike other students who were putting on uniform. She felt odd among them and while she was looking for a comfortable seat, a girl called her with a welcoming smile on the girl’s face.

"Come and sit with me” the girl said while smiling.

Anna naively went to her and sat beside her.

“My name is Jane and you?” The girl asked introducing herself.

"I’m Anna, nice meeting you Jane” Anna greeted in return.

“My pleasure, you are gonna like this school, especially this class” Jane said.

“Oh! I hope so, thanks Jane” Anna said and focused on the board.

She saw some scribbled words written in inks on the white board.
She just didn’t understand anything there, she brought her head back and her face met with Bella who was smiling at her.

Anna smirked and took her face off her.

Anna turned her head and saw Owen and Collins discussing.

The teachers came according to their period to teach. Everyone of them asking Anna to stand and introduce herself which she did politely.
*************************************

Break Time...
Bella stood up immediately she heard the bell for break and went to meet Anna.

“Hi Anna” Bella greeted.

“Hi” Anna replied coldly.

“No, don’t be so cold, don’t mind what happened yesterday, can we go have lunch together?” Bella asked.

“Thanks, I’m not interested” Anna said.

“Please she is not interested Bella, Anna let’s stroll downstairs together” Jane said.

Anna nodded and followed Jane downstairs

Bella smirked and returned to her seat.

Collins and Owen decided to take a stroll to Feathers' class.

Collins abruptly went to meet Bella.

“Hi, the greatest witch of our time, may you keep loosing” Collins said and grinned mockingly.

Bella maintained a frowned face without responding.

Collins left the Class with Owen.
*************************************

Anna walked side by side with Jane.

“You look so beautiful Anna, I’m sure many guys in the school are gonna be tripping for you” Jane said.

“Maybe, but I did not come here to have a boyfriend” Anna said.

“What is the name of the country you came from?” Jane asked.

“Jeonju Hanok in Korea” Anna said.

“Wow! But you look like a supernatural being” Jane said.

“Excuse me!” Anna turned her head abruptly at Jane wondering how her assumptions was so close to the truth about her.

“I mean, you are as beautiful as a super being” Jane said.

“Oh!” She said and was calmed.

“Did you know class 7, I wanna go and meet someone there” Anna asked.

“Of course, can we go together?” Jane asked.

“Why not” Anna replied and they both went to Class 7 ( Mary’s class).
*************************************

The bell for break time rang in Mary’s class and Jude who wasn’t listening to all the teachings he had been receiving quickly ran to Mary’s place. He felt like hugging Mary but Mary was indifferent on seeing him.

He smiled on getting to Mary’s seat and happiness can be easily seen on his face. It’s been long he sees the only lady his heart desires.

“Mary!” He called with so much Joy in his voice.

The joy in his voice was even breaking his voice. He was so emotional.

“Hi Jude” Mary greeted slightly.

“Oh! Mary, I miss you, so much, you did not tell me that you are travelling, I even sang a song for you in class to tell the whole class how much I had missed you.” Jude said and blushed.

Mary wondered why Jude missed her, it’s not as if they had any relationship that subsist between the two of them.

“Oh! Thanks” Mary replied.

“I guess you miss me too” Jude said without thinking, he wished that he had not said that cus he is scared that Mary might give him a negative answer which might spoil his mood for the rest of the day.

“Erm... That, actually… Jude, you look handsome” Mary said and neglected his question.

He had just seeing her after many years and he is happy for seeing her, she should not spoil his mood.

“Oh really!” Jude exclaimed and a broad smile appeared on his face. He traced himself from head to toe with his eyes and blushed. Now he knows that he is handsome, for Mary to have confessed it.

Owen and Collins entered Mary’s class. Jude saw Owen and he became furious because of how Owen pulled Mary away from him the other day. He is also jealous that Owen is making Mary fall for him.

Jude walked to him and Collins.

“Hey you, isn’t your class large enough to play? It’s best for you to leave this class else I tell our class gangster to beat the hell out of you from this class” Jude threatened.

Owen became scared and he knew that Jude is actually crazy enough to do what he just said. He turned his head to Collins to know what he thinks about what Jude just said.
Collins knew that Jude is reckless and he could do just that.

“Owen, lets leave” Collins said and turned and they saw Jane and Anna entering.

Collins had began to like Anna from the first day he saw her. But Anna detest Collins for whatever reason she can not explain.

She liked Josh but she prayed that she would not fall in love with Josh.

“Hi” Anna faked a smile at Collins and went to meet Josh.

“Hi Josh” she greeted.

Josh raised his head towards Anna and his heart beat.

She wondered if it was not the same Anna she had been taking from one place to the other for registrations. Anna looked very beautiful and she appeared angelic to Josh.

Josh stood up and held her wrist, he pulled her outside.

Josh’s emotion is beginning to cloud him, he knew he is being tempted by a force he can not explain.

“I must not fall to this temptation” Josh thought.

Nevertheless, he instructed Anna to follow him to the relaxing room.

They got to the relaxing room and he pinned Anna with his two hands with his arms rested on the wall on top of Anna’s shoulder. He was standing opposite Anna.

“Anna, I can’t explain what is happening to me, I do not know if I’m spelled or something, my heart is beating for you, I… I… I love you Anna, I’m sorry, but… I Iove you Anna” Josh said and wish he can run away from the relaxing room, but he can’t help it.

Anna was stunned that the serious Josh can confess his love for her.
The words of Josh were piercing her heart, her heart was bleeding, and she knows she will betray the promise she made to the King of her world very soon, she is scared cus she did not know the punishment that the King of her world will give her. Her heart is dangling, her emotions are fast taking over, the look of love and innocence showed clearly at Josh’s face whose face his not far from hers.

•Do you think Anna would break her promise to the King of her world or keep it?

To be continued.

EPISODE 42 - EPISODE 2

Feathers and Mary arrived at America at Seven’s house with Anna. They all entered the house with the house spare key that was with Mary.

“No one is at home, dad couldn’t have gone out at this hour” Mary said and sat down tiredly on the chair.

“Anan, please have your sit” Feathers said and she sat down gently.

“Would you try his number?” Feathers asked.

“I just did, it isn’t going through” Mary said.

Feathers sighed.

Feathers brought out his phone and put a call through to Josh.

On phone...
“Feathers, whats up?” Josh’s voice sounded on phone.

“I’m fine, we just arrived” Feathers said.

“Wow! I’m happy, I’m gonna come there with Collins soon” Josh said.

“Collins! Is he with you?” Feathers asked wondering why Collins would be with Josh at that time of the day when it is obvious that school hours are over.

Feathers went inside the kitchen and served Mary and Anna with drinks. He took his too and sipped it gently.

About thirty minutes later, Josh and Collins entered. Josh walked closer to Feathers who had already stand up ready to welcome his friend. They both hugged and later disengaged.

Feathers hugged Collins too. Josh gave Mary a slight hug, not too deep or tight.

He wondered who the new girl is. He ignored her and before he could find a seat for himself, Feathers called him.

“Josh, meet Anna, Anna meet Josh” Feathers said.

Josh moved closer to Anna and stretched his hand at Anna, Anna received it and smiled at Josh.

Josh wondered what was funny, isn’t it just to greet, what made her smile while shaking me.

Josh and Collins sat after Collins had shook Anna with a bright smile on his face.

Anna wondered what’s making Collins smile. Isn’t it just to greet me, why then is he smiling.

They all sat.

“Owen himself is suppose to be here or has he gone somewhere with Father too” Mary lamented.

“Mary, I’m sorry to say this, but your dad is in Bella’s custody as we speak. Her father had come to take him away. They almost casted a spell on Owen so he can loose all his memories but Bella insisted promising her father that Owen is not gonna report to the cops” Josh said.

“If Seven is in Bella’s custody, what of Owen?” Feathers asked while Mary lowered her head in pain and thought of what they must have done and be doing to her father.

“I and Collins advised Owen to go to an anonymous hotel to stay for the main time” Josh said.

“Please call him, let him come and meet us here” Mary pleaded to Josh.

Josh nodded and brought out his phone. He dialed Owen’s number, it rang, after a while, it was picked.

"Josh, Owen is with me and I would have cast a spell on him that would make him kiss me, but the spell will not work because he is cursed, but I’m gonna make sure he likes me, I will orientate him and inform a doctor that can help me in every possible means to make him like me, once he does, I’m sure he will kiss me willingly, after which you can have Owen and Seven back and you all will be free” Bella said and hanged up.

Everyone listened to what Bella said cus Josh had put the call in loudspeaker.

“What are we gonna do now?” Mary asked looking at everyone.

“We gotta be smart, you guys had hopefully uncovered your power, we need to strategize on how to get back Owen and Seven” Josh said.

“How do we get started?” Feathers asked.

“The chance we have here is that Bella liked Feathers, she wouldn’t want to hurt him. Feathers should pretend as if he likes Bella for the main time” Josh said.

“How am I gonna do that?” Feathers asked.

“Put a call through to Bella now, tell her that you are gonna like to come visit her, remember that witches are very dangerous and deceptive, you have to be smart, every power has it’s own weaknesses, try to find out her weaknesses so that even if Mary and you wrestle with her with your power, you will be so certain that you will win. It’s not certain right now that can win any battle with her cus we all know that not only is she powerful, her families are also very powerful” Josh said.

“If I put a call through to Bella now, won’t that be suspicious?” Feathers asked.

“Try it first” Josh said.

Feathers put a call through to Bella.

“Hi Feathers!” Bella said from the other side of the phone.

“I’m fine, where are you?” Feathers asked.

“Home of course and I didn’t even see you at school for some days neither did you inform me . I’m surprised to see your call though” Bella said.

Feathers exhaled.

“Yeah, I was suppose to tell you, I went somewhere but I had arrived. I would like to come and visit you" Feathers said.

“Oh really? I’m gonna be so glad, but you use to dislike me, why did you suddenly change your mind” Bella said.

“I never said I like you, I only said I wanted to come to greet you” Feathers said.

“Well, I’m just wondering why a male would visit a female without liking the lady, just confess you like me and stop pretending, anyways, if you can not confess you like me, I’m gonna tell you a thousand times that I like you. I’m gonna text you the address to my place, I’m gonna be expecting you” Bella said.

“Alright” Feathers said and hung up.

Everyone heard the conversation cus the call was on loudspeaker.

“I do not like that girl, I just do not like her” Feathers said feeling irritated for calling her.

No one replied Feathers, after all, he wasn’t expecting someone to reply him, he was only confessing how he feels.

The whole room was tense and silent for a while, everyone was thinking on what will become of Feathers if he goes to Bella’s place After about two minutes, Feathers phone buzzed briefly. Feathers knew it was an SMS, he clicked the message bar open and read that of Bella out loud.

It was an address of her house.

“You can go now, but be careful, give us updates every time you are chanced, I hope you come back today but if you can’t, we will have to hope that we meet in school tomorrow” Josh said.

“Are you saying I might end up sleeping in that house?” Feathers asked with a disturbed heart.

“We do not know what the future holds, just be smart ” Josh said.

“How is Anna gonna be doing please? isn’t she suppose to be following us to school or what did you guys think?” Mary asked.

“She should follow us to school tomorrow, I’m gonna speak to the principal myself about her enrollment in the school” Josh said.

“She is beautiful, Josh, Isn’t it?” Mary teased.

“What are you talking about?” Josh asked with a frowned face.

“Of course, she is very beautiful, very gorgeous, soft skin and beautiful lips” Collins said and bite his lower lips.

“Excuse me?” Anna exclaimed.
She stood up.

“Mary, please, I wanna shower and rest” Anna pleaded.

Mary led her to the bathroom and showed her the room she’s gonna be staying.

Josh and Collins switched on the plasma TV to catch some fun.
*************************************

Feathers arrived at Bella’s place. Bella who had been anticipating for his presence welcomed him with a hug.

Feathers stylishly rejected it by bending down and holding his stomach like someone having stomach upset.

Bella smiled and controlled the pain she felt as a result of the stylish rejection of her hug by Feathers.

Feathers stood upright and exhaled like someone that had just recovered of the stomach upset.

Bella signaled for Feathers enter the house. He did.

Lennox was sitting in the room reading one of the ancient scrolls he had just ordered from Babylon.

“Dad, meet Feathers, the twin brother of Mary” Bella said.

Feathers wondered how Bella knew that he is the twin brother of Mary.

“Feathers, I must say that we’ve met before but that was when you were under a spell, I was happy that Collins helped you out, after wards, you went to Korea to uncover your power, you escaped the man I told to cast a spell on you. Not only are you now powerful, you also returned to America here with a new girl. Well, I just wish that you were smart, my daughter told me that you are a story writer on Facebook, you even have a page, how come you do not reason that walking inside this place might be the end of all the power you went to Korea to get?"

"At least, my friend who is also a writer, she is very smart, she doesn’t make senseless decisions. Now see this pin in my hand, it is the secret to your power, once I inject you with this, you loose all powers you had acquired. What you did not know is this, while you are working on acquiring your power, I had ordered ancient books from ancient libraries of power in Babylon to find out the weakness of your power. Don’t think too much, I found the secret to your power, here it is in my hand, Feathers, I am sorry, deeply sorry that after I had injected you with this pin, you will become our dog once more, we will cast a spell that will work on you for 50 years, after all, no spell is ever permanent, but I know that 50 wasted years of your life is gonna satisfy us and make us happy."

"You are too small, too young to fight against the family of Lennox, yes, you can call us big eye family, you can abuse my daughter by saying all her brains are in her big eyes, she told me all the insults you have hurled on her in the past, I’m sure you will swallow all those insults after you work for her like a servant working for his master for fifty years of your life."

"I’m sure that your fans on Facebook will miss you, they will keep waiting for you to update them with the next episode not knowing that you have become my daughter’s dog" Lennox said and smirked.

He took the pin and walked closer to Feathers.

•Do you think Lennox's plans will work on Feathers?

To be continued.

EPISODE 41 - SEASON 2

Feathers and Mary kept reading the scrolls, they were engrossed in reading the scrolls. They forgot to eat for three days, they do not know if it is morning or night. They just kept reading like a force is pulling them to read and they can’t help it.

After three days, Feathers had read all the scrolls. He raised his head and stood up. He walked outside.

“Now, I know everything about the use of my power” Feathers muttered and stretched his body.

Mary walked out too, she stood beside Feathers and stare at the sky for the first time after three days.

Feathers turned at Mary and set his gaze back at the sky.

“Brother, we are done studying the use of our power, what next?” Mary said still staring at the sky.

“We are heading back to America, we will make sure we protect Owen and if Bella and her family stands in our way, we deal with them” Feathers said and lowered his head.

He squatted to the ground and used two of his fingers to draw a circle on the clayey soil

“Brother, how about we test our power here before we go back to America” Mary said.

“You want a dwell with me?” Feathers asked.

“Yes brother, I hope I won’t hurt you too much” Mary said.

Feathers giggled.

“Why not pray that I won’t hurt you too much” Feathers said and stood ready to dwell with Mary

“Duferat dufera digun, Duferat ariop ariop, Miso misons ariop as... Jumnnnn jummnnn asi” Mary casted a spell and she formed a circle with her hand in the air, a circular stone appeared in her hand, she blew a gentle air on the stone.

The stone left Mary’s hand and roll with full force at Feathers, Feathers bent to guide the stone but the stone stayed on top of him and landed on him.

Feathers fell to the ground with a eye closed.

Mary ran to Feathers.

“Brother!” Mary shouted.

“I’m not dead” Feathers said and used his hand to control the stone that landed on him, he directed it Mary, Mary was quick to cast an instant spell, the stone disappeared. Mary smirked when she realized that she was winning

“That must have hurt, sorry brother” Mary apologized with a mockery expression.

Feathers smirked

“Why are you quick to announce yourself as the winner?, by the ways, I wasn’t hurt by the stone, I had casted a spell already that doesn’t make me feel pain or feel weak” Feathers said.

“Toflas ajiut ajusas, Murona murana murona, Dedrifilosymyasiacumri, Aji nun an nfu merin” Feathers casted the spell and the spell made him float in the air , he kept floating till he disappeared into thin air.

Mary was not surprised to see her brother disappear into thin air, after all, she also read it in the scrolls.

“She smiled and lay on the floor casting a very long spell so that Feathers next action would not have effect on her.

No mortal man can see Feathers, Feathers saw himself in another world. He saw Mary, he tried touching Mary but he couldn’t. He wondered if he was a ghost, he saw many spirits walking around. He was scared when he saw an ugly spirit with two heads, six legs and five horns approaching him. Feathers quickly casted a spell that will bring him back to the human world.

He casted it and still find himself in that strange world. The spirit approached him and smiled.
Feathers became scared and wondered why the spell had stopped working.

"I am horrible right? Yes, you can call me Apolion, I only work for dark mage and wizard. I work for those who perform evil, they conjure me and I help them accomplish their evil mission, I like you cus you are handsome but I know we can’t be friend because you and your sister are white mage, you are destined to use your power for something good, you missed a word amidst the spell you casted, that is why you have not been able to return to the human world, try to cast the spell accurately again, but before you do that, I will like to show you where the good spirits live” Apolion said.

Feathers exhaled.

“Where please?” Feathers asked.

“Follow me” Apolion said and pointed to a very large space at Feathers. Feathers saw many spirits putting on white, their hair are as white as wool, their cloth is as white as scarlet, their face is as white as snow, all of them were floating, they were very beautiful, there are beautiful flowers around, there were beautiful trees.

Feathers wished at once that he can go there but he has to go back to the human world to talk to his sister so they can go there together
Feathers casted the same spell but this time he got every word right, he appeared before Mary.

Mary who was laying stood up abruptly.

“Brother, I thought you would hurt me from the other world you went to” Mary said.

“I won’t, I saw something very beautiful there, I saw some beings that looked like angels, their hairs are very white and curly, it’s long that it reached their spinal cord section in their body. These beings are very beautiful, an ugly guy I saw there, he called himself Apolion, he was the one that directed me there” Feathers said happily.

“I can’t wait to see them” Mary said.

Feathers and Mary looked at themselves eyeball to eyeball and casted the spell together. They found themselves in other world,
Feathers led Mary to where the white beings were.

They got there, they saw some singing , some dancing, some treating the flowers.

Mary walked to a white being that was treating the flowers.

“Excuse me!” Mary pleaded.

The white being turned at Mary
Feathers walked closer to meet Mary.

“I’m Mary, my brother here is Feathers, we came here to see how beautiful you guys are and I wanna ask, are you guys angel?” Mary asked.

“You are welcome Feathers and Mary, my name is Anastasia, we are over one millions white beings here. But we all have our different works. My closest friend here is Goddy. We work with the flowers, we ensure that the compound is clean always, I knew already that you both are coming, the King has instructed me to follow you into the human world to help you in accomplishing your mission, the only warning he gave me is to return early after I had helped you accomplish your mission and not fall in love with human” Anastasia said.

“You wanna follow us to the human world, are you still gonna be dressing like this? You are dressed in white from head to toe” Feathers said.

“Once I get to the human world, I will have to behave and live like a human, dress and eat like them, please do not ever disclose my identity to anyone that I’m a white being from the other world” Anastasia said.

Feathers and Mary nodded.

“Cast your spell and let’s go” Anastasia said.

Feathers looked at Mary in surprise, he casted the spell together with Mary, they found themselves in front of the Hut of Power.

“Where is Anaestesia?” Mary asked.

“I do not know too, I thought she said she is gonna follow us to the human world” Feathers said.

“I’m here please” Anastasia said already dressed like a human, her white hair had being changed to a dark one. Her white face had being changed to a red one. Her regalia had being changed to beautiful skirt and blouse. She walked out of the Hut of Power,
She smiled.

They were surprised to see her already dressed like a human.
Mary giggled as she looked towards Anastasia leg. Anastasia looked at her leg and wondered why Mary looked at her leg.

“This is the human world, Anna, you gonna need to be putting on sanders or shoes here” Feathers said.

“Oh” Anna said.

She wasn’t putting on a foot wear, in the other world, they do not put on footwear, they just float around with their white shining legs.

“Don’t worry, gonna get you a footwear for you on our way to America” Feathers promised Anna.

Anna nodded.
*************************************

The man that was working for Lennox saw Feathers, Mary and a very beautiful girl from afar.

“They are suppose to be two, how are they three?” The man thought from the mountain where he was standing.

He knew that they had already uncovered their power in the Hut of Power, he ran away from there before they test their newly uncovered power on him.

Feathers, Mary and Anna went back to America.

To be continued.

EPISODE 40 - SEASON 2

Lennox walked closer to Owen.

“Dad, please let’s leave him, let us just tell him not to inform the cops, I’m sure he is gonna comply” Bella said.

“And what if he doesn’t?” Lennox turned and asked Bella

Bella walked closer to where Owen stood.

“Owen, promise you aren’t gonna inform anyone” Bella said

“I’m not” Owen replied hurriedly in sign language.

“Bella, this is a great risk we are taking” Lennox said.

“Dad, trust me” Bella said

Lennox nodded and went out with Bella and Seven

Owen sighed and sat on a stool beside him.

“Are this people so cruel? They even wanted to cast spell on me so I can lost my memory” Owen thought.
*************************************

“Feathers, wake! this man that accommodates us is working for Lennox, I heard him speaking with Lennox” Mary whispered.

Feathers listened and opened his eye..

"Really, then we need to leave this place immediately” Feathers said. Mary nodded staring around in fear.

“You know what? Pretend as if you wanna receive fresh air outside, then walk away, don’t worry, I will be safe, I will find you, just run to somewhere safe ” Feathers said.

“I’m scared, I do not know anyone here, what if I got lost, what if you did not find me, am I gonna spend the rest of my life in this village?” Mary said in fear.

“No, you ain’t gonna spend the rest of your life in this place, that is our only medium of escape, just leave. Mary, look into my face and trust me, I’m your brother and I can not hurt you, the man will soon enter and cast spells on us, run away, I will find you, I promise” Feathers said assuredly.

Mary nodded and summoned little courage. She went out, she met the man just coming in.

“My daughter, at this time of the night, where are you going?” The man asked.

“Sir, the heat is quiet much on the mat, I ain’t used to sleeping on mat, just wanna take some fresh air outside” Mary lied.

“Alright my daughter, don’t stay long outside” The man said and entered.

Mary stepped out and stared around, he didn’t see anyone, everywhere was dark, she ran into the dark and kept running trying to find a shelter for herself.

Feathers pretended to be sleeping , after few minutes. He coughed. He coughed again and continued faking coughs.

“My son , why are you coughing?” The man asked and moved closer to Feathers.

Feathers stood up and went outside without replying the man.

“Where is my sister?” Feathers asked the man.

“Your sister! She should be around the vicinity, she said she wanna take some fresh air outside here” The man replied.

“This is how I cough every night and the drug I do use to become healed is with my sister, I need to see her or I may die anytime soon” Feathers lied and continued faking coughs in the middle of his speech. The man was perplexed.

“Isn’t her name Mary?” The man asked.

“Yeah, but I can’t remember telling you her name” Feathers thought.

He nodded.

He confirmed at once that the man actually knew about them.

“Mary! Mary!” Feathers kept yelling and walking towards the dark. He kept walking into the dark and he kept calling Mary till he faded off.

“What is wrong with all these. children, did he think his sister is lost, maybe her sister is in the backyard or somewhere close, but now, he is searching for her, what if he get lost, anyways, that’s their problem, the two of you should come back soon so I can cast the spell I was ordered to cast on you” the man thought and sat at the entrance of his house.

After an hour of waiting, he got disturbed and wondered where they had gone.

"These children must not get lost, Lennox is gonna scold me. I need to find them” the man thought.

The man walked inside the dark in search of Mary and Feathers till he faded off.
*************************************

Jude bowed his head in school at recess time, he wasn’t speaking nor playing with anyone like he used to do. His face looks sad and his heart is heavy.

He had searched and tried every means to get to Mary but he couldn’t. He feared that something bad might have happened to the lady he likes. He misses Mary so much.

“Jude, can you stop thinking about Mary please” Thomas, his one and only adviser said.

“I wish I can but I can’t. Her soul and mine are intertwined, I’m addicted to seeing her, I wanna see Mary please” Jude pleaded to his friends as if his friend knew where Mary was.

“Jude, she might be sick or busy at home, let’s wait till next week” Bigger said.

“I can’t wait no more brother, I felt empty without seeing Mary around” Jude said.

“Cheer up Jude, how about we sing on how you miss Mary so much” Thomas suggested.

“Will that make me see her?” Jude asked and buried his head on his palm.

“No, but it will comfort your soul and give you hope” Bigger said.
Thomas nodded to confirm what Bigger said.
*************************************

Collins sat in the back seat in class like he always do with Owen who is now sitting with him.

“Collins, I wanna tell you something” Owen said in sign language.

“No don’t, follow me outside, that witch may be hearing” Collins said and stood up.

Collins and Owen walked out of the class.

“I’m all ears now” Collins said.

“Bella and her father came to Mary’s father’s house yesterday to kidnap him, they wanted to cast a spell that will erase my memory but Bella insisted” Owen said in sign language.

“You mean Bella’s father had Lennox in his custody presently?” Collins asked.

“Yeah, but please don’t tell anyone, don’t even report to the cops” Owen pleaded in sign language.

“I ain’t a kid bro, I will handle it, do not worry” Collins said

“What are you gonna do cus I do not want then to know that the information got leaked by me?” Owen said in sign language.

”Calm down, follow me” Collins said and went to Josh’s class.

He called Josh out and Josh followed them outside the class.

Collins told Josh what Owen said

“Mary’s father is being kidnapped in broad day light by this evil people, we need to help Seven” Josh said.

Owen looked at Josh and Collins interchangeably for what they are about to do.

“I know Bella’s house, after we close for the day, let’s go there” Josh said.

“I know Bella’s house too, but the thing is, if we go there, how are we gonna save Seven?” Collins asked.

“Let’s go there first, what we are gonna do will come” Josh said like he kept one power somewhere to make use of when they get there.

“Alright” Collins said and walked back to his class with Owen.

As soon as the bell rang for closing time, Bella went to meet Collins and Owen at their seat before they could stand up to leave the class.

“Collins, the Alpha, where were you yesterday cus I couldn’t find you in school?” Bella said.

“Excuse me? Do we have any business, when do we become friends?” Collins asked.

“Of course I was not searching for you cus you are my friend, I was searching for you cus I need to take you back to the temple, I don’t care if you are a werewolf or their Alpha, all I know is that as long as you keep obstructing my mission, you gonna have to be kept and tamed at the temple till I’m done fulfilling my mission” Bella said.

“If I may ask, what is this mission of yours?” Collins asked.

“We aren’t friends so I can’t tell you, I do not have much time please” Bella said and casted a spell on Collins.

After she had casted the spell, Collins laughed and sat conveniently on the chair.

Owen was surprised that the spell didn’t seem to affect Collins.
Bella became furious, she casted one of the most powerful spell she had just learnt on Collins, yet, the spell didn’t have any effect on Collins.

“When you are done casting whatever spell you are casting, leave the class or you can as well sleep here” Collins said mockingly.

Collins stood up and walked away from her with Owen.

Bella felt bad, she disliked herself, she felt embarrassed, no one can ever resist her spell not even a werewolf who is yet to transform
She angrily carried her bag pack and left the class.
***********************************

Feathers kept walking inside the dark till it was daylight.

“Where am I gonna find Mary?” Feathers thought.

Feathers suddenly saw a very high mountain and an image of someone standing on it. He stood up from beside a tree he sat, he walked towards the mountain. He stepped up towards the image
It was Mary.

“Mary!!!” Feathers called.

Mary smiled.

“I stood on this mountain so that wherever you are, you can find me" Mary said.

Feathers became happy that he didn’t stress himself too much before he finds Mary.

“But that man is gonna be searching for us, he might find us anytime soon” Feathers said.

“Feathers, I found the Hut of Power, it’s beneath this mountain” Mary said and stepped down towards the opposite of where Feathers was coming from like the back of the mountain.

“Are you serious?” Feathers asked and stepped behind Mary down the mountain.

“Brother, do I look like a comedian?” Mary teased on her way steeping down.

She got beneath the mountain and Feathers arrived behind her.

“That is it” Mary pointed to the hut for Feathers.

Feathers saw the hut, he held Mary and they jogged there together.

They entered, it was dirty, cobwebs were everywhere, the scrolls are well arranged in the old shelves there. They took the scroll one after the other and start reading.
*************************************

“True, I can’t keep thinking like this” Jude said.

“You mean we should perform right?” Thomas asked happily expecting a positive answer from Jude.

“Yeah” Jude said and walked to the front of the class.

“Hey guys, listen to our song” Jude said.

“Bring it on boy” Vanessa and the other girls who are class gangsters hailed Jude.

Jude maintained a sad face, after all, he is about to sing a sad song.

Thomas hung and set his girlfriend on his neck. His girlfriend is his guitar.

Bigger also set his mouth organ on his lips.

They played … pa pan ran nnn paran ran ran an pan
Thomas and Bigger played solemnly.

Jude sang;
�Don’t I know it? Nobody has to say.
I’ve been lucky.
Guess I was born that way
I thank my father,
His absence has made me strong.
And I love my mother,
But she had troubles with God
No tears for the life that you’ve led
You’ve had angels in your head
Did you hear them singing in the end?
All the things that you’ve seen
All the things that could have been,
Well I’ve been everything I want to be
So no tears, no tears for me
Yeah, I’ve bathed in sunshine
But cherished the fading light
And I heard my heartbeat faulter
On a winter’s night
I loved a woman
She didn’t hear my prayers
So Lord, oh Lord, I’m yours
No tears for the life that you’ve led
You’ve had angels in your head
Did you hear them singing in the end
All the things that you’ve seen
All the things that could have been
Well I’ve been everything I want to be
So no tears, no tears for me
‘Cause someone some where’s going home tonight
Trying to understand the sacrifice
So save your tears for those left behind
For the life that you’ve led
You’ve had angels in your head
Did you hear them singing in the end
All the things that you’ve seen
All the things that could have been
Well I’ve been everything I want to be
So no tears, no tears
No tears for me... �

Jude sang.

EPISODE 39 - SEASON 2

Owen was surprised that he did not see his new friend, Collins in class. He had stopped sitting with Bella.

The school closed for the day and Bella slung her bag pack, she walked towards Owen.

“Tell me, where is Collins?” Bella asked.

“I thought you should greet first” Owen said in sign language.

“Oh! I forgot, hi, where is Collins?” Bella said.

“I did not know, I’m certain he came to school but maybe he went somewhere” Owen replied in sign language.

“I see, where are you going now?” Bella asked.

“Is that your business?” Owen asked in sign language and walked away from Bella.

Bella wondered why Owen was behaving coldly to her. Maybe because of the last time Lennox and her went to his place. She walked out out of the class and went to Mary’s class. She searched with her eye for Feathers and Mary but he couldn’t find them.

“Damn it!” She cursed.

“Are they gone or they left early?” She thought and was confused.

She asked one of Mary’s classmate.

“Did you see Mary and Feathers in class today?" Bella asked.

” No, they are absent” the classmate said and walked away.

“What are they up to?” Bella thought and went to her car. She drove outside the school and saw Owen waiting for a car.

“Let me trace Owen, he might not be going home, he might be hiding somewhere” Bella thought.

Owen entered a cab to Seven’s house. Bella drove and traced the cab that Owen was to Seven’s house.

Owen was oblivious of the fact that someone was following him. He entered Seven’s house and Seven welcomed him.

Bella noted the house that Owen entered and smirked. She drove back to her place.
*************************************

Bella drove inside her house. she walked inside and Lennox welcomed him.

“Dad, I couldn’t find Feathers and Collins at school today” Bella lamented and sunk on the chair in the living room.

“Tell me, you mean they didn’t come to school today? That must be suspicious” Lennox said.

“But Dad, I found out the hiding place of Owen” Bella said.

“They might actually be hiding there, I mean, Feathers, Collins, Mary and Owen might be hiding there” Lennox said.

“Maybe” Bella said.

“Let’s finish this once and for all, since they might be in one house, let’s just put them all under a spell and bring them here so we can accomplish our mission” Lennox said.

“I’m tired” Bella said.

“Don’t be my daughter, we are almost there, let’s go together".

Lennox stood up and helped Bella up They drove to Seven’s place. Bella and Lennox entered the house using spell to open the entrance door.

Owen who was having dinner all alone noticed that someone entered. Seven who was watching television saw two people entered. He walked closer to them and saw Lennox and a girl. Owen left what he was doing and walked closer to them.

"Lennox, do you come to greet me?” Seven asked.

“Maybe, I came for a serious business, how many people are in this house now?” Lennox asked.

“Well, Mary and Feathers had travelled to Korea, it’s just Owen and I that are here presently” Seven said.

“They travelled, why? Anyways that’s your family’s business, I think your children will have to come home from wherever they are after they heard that you are missing” Lennox said.

“What are you talking about?” Seven asked.

“I meant I’m taking you to the temple right now, you gonna stay there, the government will declare you missing when they found out that you are lost, your children will find out over there and come home. In other words, we are holding you hostage till we are able to get your children” Lennox said.

“I do not know what you are talking about, I do not offend you, I have no issues with you, why should you hold me hostage?” Seven asked.

Lennox casted a spell on Seven, he became unaware of who he is. Owen was watching them from where he stood with a scary face.

“Owen, you are our last target, have fun, but if we leave like this, you will tell the cops that we came for Seven, I’m sorry that you will have to loose your memory” Lennox said and walked closer to Owen.
*************************************

Feathers and Mary had arrived at Jeoju Hanok village in Korea. They were searching and asking every villager for where the Hut of Power is but everyone claimed not to know the place. It was late at night and they did not know where to stay, it’s a village and there is no hotel where they can lodge there. They sat beside a very old house. A man was passing by and saw two young teenagers.

“My children, why are you sitting here?” The man asked.

“We came from America in search of the Hut of Power, we have searched everywhere and asked many villagers but we couldn’t find it still” Feathers said.

“No one will tell you, the library is a very dangerous library, no one goes there and return, but since you came from America, you must have come for a very important mission. Sleep in my house this night and I will take you there tomorrow” The man said.

“Thank you sir!” Mary quickly said.

They both stood up and followed the man to his house.

The man lay a mat for them to sleep on, Even though it was not convenient for them, they had to.

After an hour of laying, Mary wanted to ease herself, she stood up and walked outside. She overheard the man speaking on phone.

“Okay…yes I have…they are sleeping in my custody now…I will do that…sure…I know the right spell to cast on them… do not worry Lennox…yeah…bye” The man hanged up.

Mary’s heart beat simultaneously and she knew at once that the man that accommodated them is working for Lennox.

•Let the comments unlocks the next episode.

To be continued.

EPISODE 38 - SEASON 2

“Please take me to Bella” Collins said.

Feathers and Mary disengaged.
They all looked at Collins and felt sorry for him, it’s obvious he was still under a spell.

“How do we help Collins?” Feathers asked no one in particular.

Josh sighed and looked at Mary to see if she has a way out.

“Collins is a werewolf, there is must be a way out” Josh said and brought out his phone. He dialed his father’s number.

“Hello son”Josh father’s voice sounded on the other end.

“Hi dad, my friend who happens to be a werewolf is under a spell, did you know what we can do?” Josh asked.

“Yeah” Josh’s dad responded.

“Please tell me dad” Josh pleaded.

“Tell him to go back to where he transforms always, let him try to transform like it was night, the spell will leave him” Josh's father said.

“Thank you sir” Josh replied and ended the call.

“He knows what we can do right?” Mary asked.

Josh nodded.

“We need to take Collins back to where he transforms” Josh said.

“Just that, I know the forest, I have been there before” Feathers said.

“We will have to inform the school authority before we leave” Mary said.

Josh left them and hurried to the secretary to the principal’s office.

“Sir, please, I wanna go somewhere with my friends” Josh pleaded.

“Name them?” The secretary said.

“Feathers, Mary and Collins” Josh replied.

The secretary scribbled their names inside a sheet of book.

“Josh, I know you are a serious type, please let this be the last time you will take permission in this semester” The secretary said.

Josh nodded.

The secretary handed the permission letter to leave the school premises to him. It contains the names of his friends as well. He went out to meet his friends . They all headed out and went to the forest including Collins.

“Collins, try to transform” Josh said while Feathers and Mary watched.

“I can’t, I can only do that at night” Collins said.

“I know you can’t but try, you’re under a spell and for you to be free, all you have to do is just try to transform” Josh said.

Collins nodded and took some steps back.

He bent like a dog and opened his mouth wide, he let out the wolf ability in him, his bones began to crack like it will break, his neck began to twist like he will die.

“It’s very painful” Collins said and stopped.

Josh moved closer to him.

“Collins, I know it’s painful, but this is the only way for you to be free from the spell of Bella, try, don’t give up” Josh encouraged Collins.

Collins nodded.

He roared again and his whole body shook, he wanted the wolf in him to express itself fully but that only happens at night, he tried without giving up for minutes until he fell and lost consciousness.

Josh, Feathers and Mary ran towards him.

“What happened to him?” Mary asked in fear while Feathers and Josh squatted beside him silently observing him.

After few seconds, Collins opened his eye and they all welcome him with a smile.

He smiled too and recollected how he had been behaving all this while.

“You were spelled by Bella” Feathers said.

“I know, I’m happy I’m free now, thanks to you all” Collins said.

Josh stood up and held Collin’s stretched palm. He pulled Collins up and they all smiled.

“Now we know that Bella is our common enemy, if we do not act fast this time, she might play a fast one on us again” Feathers said.

“True! Let’s just do the next thing now” Josh said.

“Which is?” Mary asked.

“The two of you are blessed with supernatural ability, but you will never be able to use it unless you read the scrolls, and the scrolls you will read is at Asia in Korea at Jeonju Hanok Village” Josh said.

“So we going there” Feather said.

“You have to book the next available flight to Korea, till then you are not going back to school neither are you gonna sleep in your house, you better sleep in an anonymous hotel till you move to Korean” Josh said.

”I will like to follow you guys” Collins said.

“No, I won’t follow them either, just the two of them, I’m just gonna give then the address of the place , they will read the scrolls there and uncover how to use their power” Josh said.

Collins nodded.

“Let’s move now” Feathers said and Mary jumped on Feathers back abruptly.

Feathers who was not expecting anything like that staggered to the front like he will fall. He turned at Mary.

“A brother that can not piggy back his sister, what kind of brother is that?” Mary teased.

Feathers chuckled.

“A sister that wants to push his brother to the floor just because she wants piggy baking, what kind of sister is that?” Feathers teased back.

Mary rushed at him and held his wrist.

Feathers jerked.

“Scared brother” Mary said and they both walked hand in hand out of the place. The got to a junction where everyone will depart.

Josh scribbled some words inside a jotter, he tore that very sheet he wrote words in and gave it to Mary.

"This is the address of the hut of Power at Asia, please be safe. Collins and I will go to my father now to ask of how we can protect ourselves from the spell of Bella till you come back from Korea. Moreso, we need to protect Owen” Josh said.

“Please do, I do not want anything to happen to Owen and I hope that Bella will not kiss her before we come back” Mary said.

“Do not worry, Collins is in Owen’s class, he will protect Owen, we will do everything in our capacity to protect him” Josh promised and Collins nodded.

“I will miss Owen” Mary said pathetically.

“And me? Aren’t you suppose to miss me too?” Josh teased.

“She won’t, are you her…” Feathers said and paused. He winked at Josh.

Josh and Collins giggled.

Feathers chuckled.

“Her what? complete it now” Mary said like a kid and slap Feathers by his shoulder.

“Guys, we are going” Josh said and took some steps away with Collins.

“See you guys, thanks” Feathers said.

“Thanks!” Mary shouted.
*************************************

Feathers and Mary held themselves like brothers and sisters and went to Seven’s place.
Seven welcomed them.

“Dad, meet Feathers your son” Mary said.

Feathers frowned his face immediately. He disliked Seven for giving him out.

Seven moved closer to Feathers.

“Son, I’m sorry, I’m sorry for giving you out, I always wish to stay by you every now and then, but I do not want to bring curse on any of you, I know I made a mistake when I was young by foolishly engaging in a spiritual covenant with someone that later betrayed me” Seven said with a pathetic face.

“And even after my adopted parent die, you can’t come for me, I lived as an orphan for may years of my life” Feathers said and bowed his head.

Even though he did not like Seven for how he treated him, he still respect him for whatever reason he himself can not place.

“Forgive me son, I’m so sorry” Seven pleaded.

“Who am I to hold grudge against my biological father?, I forgive you father” Feathers said and hugged Seven.

Seven received the hug.They disengaged after few seconds.

“Sit down my son, I’m happy to have you back, what would you like to eat?” Seven asked.

“Dad, you saw us around this time of the day when we are suppose to be in school and you did not ask why we left school” Mary said.

“Welcoming my lost son is the right thing for me to do at this time” Seven said and quickly went to the fridge to get some drinks for Feathers.

Feathers honourable received it with a bowed head and smiled after he had gulped in the drink.
Seven sat looking at Feathers happily.

“Dad, if you won’t ask, I will tell you cus I know you are overwhelmed with your lost son that is back already, dad, you know that Feathers and I had supernatural powers but we will never know how to use unless we visit the hut of power at Asia, in Korea” Mary said.

Seven listened to every word of Mary.

“What do you want to do now, my supernaturally endowed children?” Seven teased.

Mary chuckled.

“Dad, we are taking the next available flight and travelling to Jeonju Hanok village in Korea, where the hut of power is located” Mary said.

“I will miss you, as long as you are going there for the good of it. Good luck” Seven said.

Mary was surprised at how her father was easily giving in to all her sayings.

“Did he know all this before?” Mary thought.
*************************************

Mary and Feathers booked the next available flight and traveled to Jeonju Hanok village at Korea to where the hut of power is located.

•What's your take on this?

•Do you think Feathers and Mary mission would be accomplished?

To be continued.

EPISODE 37 - SEASON 2

Lennox smiled on seeing Collins.

“What is happening here?” Unknown asked as he approaches where Lennox stood.

“Sir, you can’t imagine that this young boy is scaring me with his wolf like structure, he does not know that I have prepared for everything. I know he will convert to wolf today and his pack might come for him” Lennox said and giggled.

"So this boy is very dumb, he does not realize that just one spell will make him loose his wolf or whatever has taken over him” Unknown said and sat on the chair.

Collins was still panting heavily, but he was more scared because they do not even show any sign of fear.

“Dad, he has changed right” Bella’s voice sounded from the room.

“Yes my daughter” Lennox replied still smiling.

He also took a seat.

Bella got to the living room where Collins was in his wolf-like structure.

“Sincerely, I thought you are smart Collins, you broke the door of the Ancient Block and you think we are not prepared for your change at night, sincerely, I just do not know how people think shallowly” Bella said and sat beside Lennox.

The twenty-four were wolves broke the door and entered, they saw their Alpha backing Feathers.
They rushed at once at Bella, Bella stretched one single silver knife at them and they all moved back. They knew that even though they had all the strength to pounce on Bella and the two men with her , just a silver knife would do. The werewolves do not want to loose any pack.

Collins walked out with Feathers on his back like an elephant walking towards his comfort zone.

“Dad, they are going” Bella said.

“Leave them my daughter, they are very dangerous in their wolf-like form, they are still under your spell, once you get to school tomorrow, just tell them to follow you” Lennox said.

“I really wish we can cast a spell on all of them” Bella said.

“They are in their supernatural form, our spell can never work on them” Lennox said.

“I guess I’ve not read that part yet among the scrolls you gave me” Bella said.

“Yeah, the only thing that can scare them away is the silver knife, that was why Unknown advised everyone of us to sleep with a silver knife yesterday” Lennox said.

“Now I understand” Bella said and walked back to her room. She slept off.

Josh watched the wolves walked outside and marched away. He saw the strongest among them backing somebody out. He hope that the person will be Feathers.
It’s morning already, he needs to dress and prepare for school. He didn’t sleep for a whole night because of his friend. He went back home, dressed and went to school.
*************************************

Josh got to school and saw Collins and Feathers talking to themselves beside class 4.

“What are they doing there?” Josh thought and walked there swiftly.

As soon as they saw Josh, they set their gaze on Josh.

Josh wondered why they suddenly set their gaze on him.

“Please, we want to see Bella, she is our master, please bring her here, we are always longing to serve her” Feathers said.

Collins nodded cus he understands that they were talking under the influence of Bella’s spell.

After the werewolves got to the forest, by 5am, they all transformed to a normal human being, the spell left Collins in his supernatural form but had effect on him as a normal human being. Feathers also had not being free from spell.

Josh knew at once that Bella had casted a spell on them.

Mary and Owen had just arrived to school and departing to their various classes.

Mary saw Feathers and Josh and one other guy that she has not recognized. She walked closer to them.

“What is happening here?” Mary asked no one in particular.

She asked that question when she noticed they all stood like something strange is happening.

“Collins and Feathers are under Bella’s spell” Josh said pathetically.

He was pained that he didn’t have any power to deliver Feathers and Collins from Bella’s spell. The only gift he has is interpreting dreams and time travelling.

Feathers raised his head and saw Mary, Feathers didn’t see Mary, he saw himself.

At once, something like a scale of blindness fell from his eyes, his understanding got brightened, he came back to himself and he got free from Bella’s spell. He blinked his eye and rubbed his them. He tried to remember all that had happened in the past 24 hours, then he realized that he had been spelled by Bella.

Gentle tears dropped like a light rain dropping from the sky on his face.

Josh moved closer to him and hugged him when he noticed that it’s obvious that his friend his free.

“You were spelled by Bella” Josh said still hugging Feathers.

Feathers sniffed.

“I know” He replied.

They disengaged from the hug.

“My understanding got brightened when I saw Mary, I actually wasn’t seeing Mary when I stared at her, I was seeing myself” Feathers said audibly.

“Same thing that happened to me on the day Bella spelled me. You are indeed my brother, Seven had confirmed it too.” Mary said tears formed in her eyes, she was happy to know that her twin brother is Feathers and everything that happened has confirmed that they are twin.

“I love you brother” Mary said and hugged Feathers.

Mary cried and more tears dropped from her eyes.

“I love you more sister” Feathers replied sullenly.

Josh cried gently and smiled at the same time, he used his handkerchief to clean the little tears on his eyes.

To be continued.

EPISODE 36 - SEASON 2

Collins roared fiercely at Bella, Bella staggered back and panted heavily in fear of what she saw.
Collins kept breathing fiercely, Feathers remained still, he wasn’t afraid of death neither was he afraid of the werewolf in front of him. He was not just himself.

Collins held Feathers with his fang and pulled him to the forest. Bella stood still in fear, she reasoned immediately and she remembered when she heard Collins telling Owen that he is a werewolf.

Bella sighed and recovered herself. She stared at the forest and smiled.

“I’m will ensure that I teach this Collins a lesson, more so, I can’t go back home and inform Lennox that Feathers had being taken away from me” Bella thought and abandoned her car, she entered the forest in search of Collins and Feathers.

She has decided not to go back to Lennox until she found Collins and Feathers. She walked through the forest and search for hours, she couldn’t find them. She decided to stay beside the pathway that lead to the exit of the forest. She knew that they must pass that place when going out.
*************************************

5 am...
Collins transformed back to a normal human being, Feathers was still under a spell. Collins held him and hoped that Bella would have gone out of the forest.

Bella who had being hunting actively for them saw two people coming towards the exit of the forest, she lay ambush for them until they got to where she hide. She came out and smirked, looking at Collins furiously

Collins was surprised to see her, he thought she had gone. Collins was ready to defend Feathers no matter what it cost.

“Sefradailis arisun quiqui, Burodat gerus gerus an...Nus fas fat nus fas fat!!!”

Bella casted a spell and a soft wind blew across Collins face, he tried with all his might not to loose himself but he did. Same thing that happened to Feathers happened to him.

Bella smirked.

“Am I evil? No, I am not. I’m very sure of that. Lennox had said he would not hurt them, since they are serving as obstacles presently, it is good that they are being dealt with for the main time so I can easily accomplish my mission” Bella thought and tried to encourage herself that what she did is alright.

“Follow me!” Bella commanded Feathers and Collins.

They followed Bella inside the car.

Around 4am, Bella had invited a mechanic to her car for proper servicing. The car has started functioning. She drove to Lennox place.

Bella stepped down and informed Collins and Feathers to do the same. They obliged and followed Bella inside.

“Dad, this is Feathers, the twin brother of Mary. This other one is Collins, he is a werewolf, he was trying to use his power to protect Feathers” Bella said to Lennox.

“Alright, we gonna keep them inside the temple, the only person to be brought here now is Mary right?” Lennox asked.

“Yes dad, once I successfully bring Mary here, then it will be extremely easy for me to kiss Owen” Bella said.

Lennox nodded and signaled for Feathers and Collins to follow him to the temple, they obliged. Lennox locked the two of them inside a room he calls ‘Ancient block’.

Bella relaxed and slept for few hours, she dressed and went to school. That day was the happiest day of her life.

‘Just to get Mary and I’m done” Bella thought and the thought alone made her happy.
*************************************

Owen and Mary who lay side by side on the bed, they maintained the distance between them from the time they slept till the time they woke.

They woke , dressed, informed Seven that are leaving for school, Seven bade them good bye and Mary drove to school with Owen.
*************************************

The Labour Prefect got to school and he couldn’t find his friend, he waited till it was time for the assembly, he was scared that something might be hindering Feathers from coming.

Feathers is not a type that skips school, he doesn’t joke with school and to top it all, he is the class representative, the class captain.
Josh, who is the Labour Prefect, he waited till the assembly was over, he still hasn’t seen Feathers.

He knew that Feathers is in a very deep spiritual battle based on the dream he read in his diary.

He wrote a letter of excuse to the secretary to the principal after the assembly demanding for his permission to leave the school premises based on the fact that he couldn’t see his closest friend and he will like to check up on him.

The secretary to the principal gave him an instant permission cus she knows that the Labour Prefect is a serious type.

Josh was happy that his permission to leave the school premises was granted. He walked outside the school premises with the letter of permission to leave the school premises in his hand

He took an available cab and went to Feathers house. Feathers had stopped living with his nanny for some three years ago. He now lives alone.

Josh noticed that Feathers door wasn’t closed. He entered his house and searched everywhere, still he couldn’t see Feathers. His heart skipped and fear engulfed him. He gulped in saliva and blinked.

He liked Feathers so much, they had been friend since their first week at Kingston High School.

Josh leaned on the dinning table in Feathers house and thought of what to do. He remembered that he saw Owen and Mary at the assembly hall. His mind suddenly drifted to Bella. He did not trust Bella. Nevertheless, Bella came to school.

What should he do now. He walked to and fro in Feather’s house.

“The dragon and his daughter. A man and his daughter” That word in Feather’s dream rang in his ears.

He knew at once that the dragon and his daughter must have come for Feathers.

“Okay, who is this dragon and who is the daughter?” Josh thought.

The closest person Josh can suspect is Bella.

“Why should I suspect an innocent girl, but who else would I have suspected? Huh? ” Josh thought and kept thinking.

“What if Bella is the daughter and her father is the dragon?” Josh thought.
“No, it can’t be” He thought again.

"Yes it can, I saw her with my eyes holding a silver knife ready to kill her classmate, yes! I know what to do” Josh thought and went back to school.

All the times the teacher was teaching in class, Josh mind wasn’t there. He was just praying for them to close.

The bell for closing time rang
Josh saw Mary carrying her bag pack ready to leave the class
Josh walked to her place.

“Mary, hi, you did not ask of Feathers” Josh accused Mary.

“I’m sorry, but I have a lot on my mind right now” Mary said.

“Will you listen to me , Feathers had being kidnapped by the dragon and his daughter, I’m still searching for him, either you believe it or not, he is your twin brother. And if I may tell you, you are the next target” Josh said and waited for Mary’s reply.

Mary arced her brow in surprise.

“Yes! Dad confirmed it yesterday, but I’m not ready to tell him yet, that was why I did not even ask of him, who is the dragon, and where could Feathers be?” Mary questioned.

Then Bella entered.

She came into the class to cast a spell on Mary so her mission can be almost complete.

“Bella is coming near, just leave, she might want to do something evil” Josh said.

Mary quickly slung her bagpack across her shoulder and walked out.

Bella saw her going and called Mary. Mary didn’t wait, she walked swiftly outside. Bella ran and caught up with her.

Josh ran towards Bella and pushed her.

Bella staggered.

Mary realized that Owen might still be in danger, she didn’t want anything to happen to Owen. She ran back to Owen’s class. She ordered Owen to follow her to her car, Owen obliged and she drove to Seven’s place with her car.

“You have the gut to make that b**** escape from my venom!” Bella said to Josh.

Josh realized that he is not safe. He ran away from Bella. Bella smirked angrily.

She entered and drove home.

Josh took a cab and traced her to her house.

Josh lay ambush around Bella’s house till it was midnight. He was scared to enter Bella’s house cus he knows that they are powerful people But he had decided to stay around the house till better idea comes to his head.
*************************************

12 am...
That is the time Collins changes to a werewolf. Don’t forget that Collins is an Alpha. That implies he is the leader of a pack (sets) of werewolf.

His pack had waited for him in the forest and they all perceived that something evil has happened to their Alpha (leader).

Twenty four werewolf left the forest at night in search of their leader. They were sniffing and searching Collins with his smell.
With their strong ability to perceive at a far distance, they walked towards Bella’s house and his smell became strong.

The twenty four werewolf knew at once that someonehad entrapped their leader there.

They were furious and ready to release their Alpha (leader).

Collins had transformed into his werewolf, he angrily opened the door that was locked on him and Feathers.

He carried Feathers on his back and groaned out load as he came out ready to devour Bella and Lennox.

Josh who was outside saw many werewolf approaching.

“This is strange” He thought and find a place beside the house to hide.

Lennox heard the groan of a werewolf. He came out of his room and saw everywhere scattered.

Collins who was backing Feathers appeared to Lennox furiously.

The heavy sounds of the werewolf outside the house filled the ear of Lennox.

To be continued.

Your comments unlocks the next episode.

EPISODE 35 - SEASON 2

Some minutes before...
Mary was driving home with Owen, they were vibing with the music that was buzzing from the media player of the car.

“You like the song?” Mary asked.

Owen nodded.

Mary kept miming the song with that of the artiste.

She stopped singing abruptly.

“Owen, did I inform you that Feathers came to me, he said some confusing words such as him being my twin, even though I ignored him and made him felt like he did not know what he was saying, but his words kept ringing heavily in my heart. I do not know where he got the information from but I think I need to speak to my dad and ask him some questions” Mary said.

“It’s alright” Owen said in sign language.

“Just that, is that all you are gonna say?” Mary said and stole few glances at Owen who was not replying anymore .

As she drove, she noticed that Owen show little or no concern about what she just said. In as much as he doesn’t have problem with her going to her father. Mary made a left turn and drove towards her house.

Owen was enjoying the music that he did not know when they got to Mary’s house.

They both entered and Seven welcomed them.

They sat.

“Welcome, I wasn’t expecting you cus you never informed that you are gonna come” Seven said.

“Yeah, that's true. Dad, something came up” Mary said.

“Tell me, I’m all ears” Seven replied.

“Dad, am I a twin?” Mary asked.

Seven’s heart felt like running out of his body. He knew that a normal human being wouldn’t have found out his long hidden secret.

For his daughter to ask this, she must have heard it from a spiritual somebody.

“Mary, you are a twin” Seven said coldly.

“Really, where is my twin?” Mary asked.

“Lennox said you will be cursed if I do not give your twin brother to an orphanage or a barren couple” Seven said.

Mary sighed.

“Dad! Anyways, where can I find him? What’s his name?” Mary asked.

“I do not know where he is please, bear with me, his father and mother fought and killed themselves, ever since then, he had being living with a Nanny. i visited him many years ago. His name is Feathers” Seven said.

“Is name is what?” Mary asked loudly.

“Sorry, Is anything wrong with the name?” Seven asked, surprised at Mary’s outburst.

“Feathers was the one that told me that he is my twin brother, that was why I chose to come to you to ask you when his word got stuck to my head” Mary said.

Seven wondered how Feathers found out.

“So, you are also the father of Feathers” Mary said.

Seven nodded and bowed his head. A surge of guilt ran across his whole being when he realized how he had despised his very own son for years. Even after his adopted parents die, Isn’t he suppose to bring in Feathers and take good care of him, yet he still despise him.

Mary walked closer to her father.

“Dad, but why would you do that?” Mary said already feeling sorry for his father.

"Lennox said If I do not do, you will be cursed, I do not want you to be cursed like Owen, that was why I made that reckless decision” Seven said.

Mary nodded trying hard to understand all that his Father meant.

Anyways, Seven is his father, it’s gonna be a great reunion between Feathers and his father.

But one more thing is confusing to her, how did Feathers find out? She must find out how Feathers knew about her father's deep secret.
************************************

Bella searched every rooms in the house, she couldn’t find Owen and Mary. She was frustrated and she sank into chair in the living room.

That was the time Mary and Owen went to Seven’s house. She waited for a while and she left without closing the doors.

Owen and Mary later came in some minutes later and found that the door to the house were opened and the doors to the rooms were widely opened.

They got scared and they knew that something strange had happened.

“We can’t sleep here this night” Owen said in sign language.

“Yeah, we better go back to dad’s place” Mary said.

They closed the entrance door only, stepped inside Mary’s car and drove to Seven’s place.

Seven was surprised to see them, they explained what they saw in Owen’s house to Seven, there was only one single room left apart from the room that Seven was sleeping.

He ask if they can sleep in the same room to which Mary quickly nodded to.

Owen and Mary lay side by side on the bed silently. Seven went to his room to sleep.
*************************************

Bella went home. She explained all that happened to Lennox.

“I think we need to know who Mary’s twin is” Bella said.

“I found out already, Unknown told me after he had conjured a lot of spells” Lennox said.

“Who is he?” Mary asked.

"According to what Unknown tolf me, he bears Feathers, and we need to take him down immediately” Lennox said.

“Feathers! He is in my school, he is my crush, I can’t hurt him” Mary said.

“You will have to bring him here. As a matter of fact, I have his address here with me, all you will have to do is cast a spell on him and bring him here, we will not hurt him” Lennox said.

“Dad, nothing must happen to Feathers please” Bella pleaded.

“Do not worry, we are not evil, we are only trying to protect our temple” Lennox said.

Bella nodded.

Lennox handed him the address of Feathers house. It was late already, but Bella had to go. After all, she is doing it for the temple.

The temple is an ancient temple and she can never allow the temple to crumble. She must kiss Owen and make sure that Owen can not speak again, that is the only thing that can secure the temple.

But many people are beginning to surface, they are people who stands as obstacle in accomplishing her mission, she needs to deal with them first so she can easily kiss Owen and finally secure her father’s temple.

She drove to the address given to her by her father. She entered Feather's house at 11 :58pm.

Feathers had just finished tying an episode of his story, he was editing it when he noticed someone entrance.

“Who could that be?” Feathers thought and turned his head towards the entrance.

He saw Bella.

Bella casted a spell on Feathers and Feathers forgot about himself
He didn’t sleep, he did not faint, he did not fall, but he did not know what he was doing again.

Bella signaled for him to come over and he went to meet Bella like a sheep about to be slaughter.

Bella smiled and pecked him at his cheek.

“Feathers I’m sorry, but I have to do this” Bella said and held Feathers by her hand, she pulled him to the car and Feathers sat on Bella’s front car sewtt like like a dummy.

Bella drove off.
************************************

Collins prefers to stay in the forest at night cus that is when he always transform into a werewolf. If he stays in his house, he might ended up harming people and everyone will know that he is a werewolf, he did not want that. So he prefers to come to the forest at night. he came as a human around 11:48pm to the forest. His hair begins to grow into wolf-like form, he becomes a creature that resembles a very hairy man with claws and fangs.

He was roaming round the forest at night and everywhere was boring to him, he decided to take a stroll outside the forest. He sat beside a tarred road behind a tree, no one could see him but he was peeping behind the tree watching every car that pass.

He was enjoying nice and pleasant views in the street of America.

Bella kept driving, her car, but suddenly loosed energy to move. She parked it and wondered what had happened to the car’s velocity.
Her car was parked right beside where Collins sat enjoying a nice view.

Collins saw a lady parked her car.

Bella checked the car parts and was irritated at the car for stopping at this time of the night.

“Feathers, come down, come and check if you know what is happening to this car!” Bella yelled cus she was frustrated for how the car stopped abruptly.

Feathers came out like a dummy to meet Bella.

Collins listened very well and he knew at once that the lady was Bella and the guy he called was the Feathers that won the debate with Mary.

That same Feathers and his friend chose to believe Bella over him.

“Hope this girl is not planning anything evil for Feathers” Collins thought.

Feathers opened the car’s bonnet and was staring at it. He did not know what to do there, after all, he is not a mechanic. He just had to obey Bella.

“Why are you standing staring at it?” Bella said angrily and pushed Feathers away from the front bonnet,

Feathers fell into the empty but neat gutter beside the road.

Bella closed the front Bonnet angrily and folded her hand thinking so hard of what to do.

Feathers came out from the gutter and stood in front of Bella. He lowered his head.

Collins knew at once that Feathers can not be so dumb to be pushed away easily and yet stand up and bow his head like a servant does to his master.

“This Bella of a witch must have casted an evil spell on Feathers, I need to help him” Collins said.

Collins flew from behind the tree and landed angrily before Bella.

To be continued.

EPISODE 34 - SEASON 2

Feathers and the Labour Prefect stood and watched as Mary and Owen drove home.

“Josh, I think I should know my twin sister’s address” Feathers said.

“I think so, cus we do not know when the evil people will come for them” Josh replied.

“But even if the enemy comes against them and we are present, what are we gonna do cus I may have power but I do not know how to use it” Feathers said.

Josh sighed.

“Wait! Something came across my mind right now. Did you know that Bella confessed Mary, she also did for Vanessa, what if she is the enemy” Feathers said.

“How can you think like that, but, wait! This girl is having a supernatural power, we can speak to her, she may join us to fight the enemy together” Josh suggested.

“Sincerely I do not like that girl, not because her eyes is big or because she is ugly, I just don’t like her, but since she’s having a supernatural power, I think I will have to pretend as if I like her” Feathers said.

“Good, let’s check her class and see if she is still around so we can just speak to her, I believe she won’t turn us down, after all, she likes you” Josh said.

Josh and Feathers went to Bella’s class. That was the exact same time that Bella raised her silver knife up.

“Bella!” Feathers called.

Bella dropped her hand and turned his face at Feathers, as soon as she saw him, her anger calms cus she likes Feathers. She immediately formed a pathetic face and quickly thought of a way to defend herself so they would not think she is evil.

“Bella! You are about to kill an innocent boy” Feathers said and walked closer to them.

Collins stood up.

“She wanted to kill me with that silver knife in her hand just because I advise Owen to be careful. She is evil and I’m sure of that, she is a witch” Collins said.

Feathers looked at Bella and returned his gaze on Collins.

"Why are you falsely accusing her, how did you know?” Feathers asked Collins.

Collins kept quiet cus he didn’t know who Feathers is, he only know Feathers on the day he and Mary debated with Owen and Bella.

“Bella, what did he do to you?” Feathers asked.

“Everyone had left the class, just he and I in the class and he came to me trying to touch some private parts of my body” Bella lied.

Feathers believed Bella and he looked at Collins with an eye of contempt.

“Hey man, don’t ever try what you did to her again, now leave this class” Feathers commanded Collins.

Collins felt sorry for Feathers and his friend cus they believed evil without knowing. He slung his bag pack across his shoulder and walked out of the class.

“Bella, sorry, do not mind him, but where did you get that knife?” Feathers asked.

“Oh, this?” Bella said staring at the knife and asking if Feathers meant the knife in her hand.

But during that time of asking, she was seriously searching for a lie to tell.

The first characteristics of a witch is lying.

“Actually, I was using this knife to cut some chickens yesterday and my school bag was on the kitchen table, I was lost in thought that I did not know when I put the knife in my bag” Bella lied.

“I see, it’s a silver knife though, but did you really wanted to kill him?” Feathers asked.

“No, I was just scaring him, I will never kill ” Bella said.

“Alright, we actually came for a serious business” Feathers said and Bella sat.

“Tel me about it?” Bella requested ready to listen to Feathers.

Josh suddenly and abruptly dragged Feathers out of the class
Bella wondered why Josh behaved that way.

“Feathers, we can’t tell her what we intentionally came for, firstly we met her trying to kill someone and now she is saying what looks like a lie, how can you forget a silver knife in your bag, think about it Feathers” Josh said.

Feathers reasoned with Josh.

“That is true, cus if truly Collins was trying to touch a part of her body, I’m sure we would not meet Collins kneeling and pleading” Feathers said thoughtfully.

“Exactly my thought, there is something suspicious about Bella” Josh said.

“Then we better start going before she use her silver spoon on us” Feathers said.

“You are silly, silver spoon or silver knife?” Josh said and laughed.

They both walked away without informing Bella.

After Bella waited for some minutes, she checked them outside and noticed they are gone. Bella ignored, she slung her back pack on her shoulder, went to her car and drove to Owen’s house.

She parked and stared around the beautiful house with an evil grin on her lips. She casted a spell on the door and it opened gently by itself. She walked inside Owen’s house, she started searching every hooks and crannies of the house for Owen and Mary.

To be continued.

EPISODE 33 - SEASON 2

Feathers traced the direction of Josh’s hand and saw Mary. He returned his face to Josh.

“What is that please cus I’m confused?” Feathers asked
Josh smiled.

“What’s there to be confused about, you saw that I pointed at Mary, she’s your twin sister” Josh said

“How can that be? You must be kidding” Feathers said.

“Do I look like I’m joking to you? She is your twin sister” Josh said.

Feathers turned his gaze at Mary again.

“Really, so Mary is my twin sister” Feathers said when he noticed that Josh was serious.

Feathers bowed his head and slightly. He sighed.

“What is the next thing now?” Feathers asked.

“Good, we need to let her know the fact” Josh said.

Josh explained in details all that he saw to Feathers.

“So Mary’s father is my real father. I already accepted fate as an orphan, guess I’m gonna be having a father soon” Feathers muttered audible enough for Josh to hear.

Feathers stood up and went to meet Mary.

“Can I see you please ?” Feathers asked.

“I just come from the cafeteria, I need some rest” Mary said.

“You did not have respect for your class captain, obey him please” Kitty pleaded to Mary hoping that Feathers will like her the more for that.

Mary looked at her friend and she understands what Kitty was trying to do.

“Where do you want us to go to?” Mary asked and stood up.

“Outside there” Feathers said
Mary walked outside.

Feathers smiled and touched Kitty’s shoulder.

“Thank you” Feathers whispered to Kitty and followed Mary out. Kitty blushed and smiled.

“Here I am Feathers” Mary said.

Feathers sighed.

“Has your dad ever informed you that you are a twin?” feathers asked.

“What are you talking about?” Mary asked.

“Sorry please, okay. That day you claimed to be confessed by Bella, I’m beginning to find sense in your claims, you were confessed and you were begging Owen to kiss Bella for whatever reason, I do not know. But you looked at me for some time all of a sudden, then you came back to yourself. Please tell me, how do you feel when you were looking at me?” Feathers asked.

“Feel! I do not feel anything but I saw myself, instead of seeing you, I saw another Mary, then suddenly, it’s like a scale fell from my eyes and I came back to my senses” Mary said.

Feathers nodded trying to relate her experience with the visions of Josh.

“If I may ask, why did Bella ordered you to inform Owen to kiss her, is there anything special about it?” Feathers asked.

Mary sighed.

“It’s quite personal, I can’t tell you” Mary said.

“You can’t tell your twin brother” Feathers said.

“What the heck are you talking about?” Mary asked.

“Sorry, the truth is I’m your twin brother and I have proof” Feathers said.

Mary giggled and wondered if something has gone wrong with his class captain.

“Captain Feathers, I know you are not a jovial somebody, the things you are good at are only writing and insulting people, so please what is all this talk all about?” Mary said still giggling.

Feathers sighed.

“Mary, you know what?! The dragon and his daughter are after you and I, we need to act fast, let’s visit your dad together and ask him, he gave birth to you and I, we were twin but he took good care of you and gave me out to a barren couple” Feathers said.

“The truth is I do not understand a thing amidst all what you are saying, did you have better things to say please?” Mary asked
getting pissed off already with Feathers confusing words.

“No, that’s all I wanna say, but I know what I’m saying and I’m serious” Feathers said.

“Good for you, I am not a twin, my name is Mary, I do not know you, I only get to know you in school. So please if this is a form of drama, please stop it, I ain’t interested” Mary said and went to her class.

Feathers sighed.

He went to his seat.

“Josh, she can’t relate with what I told her ” Feathers said.

“She will relate to what you told her in time, do not worry, let’s just keep an eye on her” Josh said.

Feathers nodded and the teacher conducting and
supervising the next text they are writing came in.
*************************************

Owen went to sit behind Collins, he was very scared of sitting behind Bella cus he saw Bella clearly yesterday with Lennox. He saw fury on their face and he knew that they came for something evil.

“Owen, why didn’t you sit beside your friend today?” Collins asked.

“Friend? She is not my friend, she is evil” Owen said in sign language.

Collins smiled.

“Yeah, she’s a witch” Collins said.

“A witch, how do you know?” Owen asked.

Collins giggled.

“There is a way to identify witch whenever you see them, I came from the dark world too, I’m a lycan” Collins said.

Owen arched his brow.

“You...are…a…were…wolf?” Owen asked in sign language selectively.

Collins nodded and maintained his smiling face.

“An alpha at that, I’m the leader of my pack” Collins said.

Owen face dropped at Collins words.

“Even at that, witches are very deceptive. I knew from the first day I saw her that she meant harm to you but I kept cool. You and Mary are not save. Be careful” Collins said.

Owen sighed.

He kept stealing glances at Collins, he can’t believe he is sitting with a werewolf and an alpha at that.

An alpha is the leader of a pack of wolves just like a father is the leader of his family (pack).

Werewolf is a man who turns into a wolf at night and devours animals, people, or corpses but returns to human form by day.
That is who Collins is.

When Lennox and Bella got home after they had gone to Owen’s house but couldn’t accomplish anything. Lennox had angrily taught Bella everything she needs to know about her power as a witch. He gave Bella many scrolls that contains spells. Bella is now more powerful than before cus she now understands how to us her powers. Moreso, she has learnt more spells.

She listened to what Collins told Owen with her powers from where she sat. She became furious at Collins. She needs to act fast. Bella read it among the scrolls that her father gave her that the only thing that can kill a werewolf is a silver knife.

“Let me take Collins from the way first, then cast spell on Mary so she can follow me home, I will find her twin and do the same, then I will kiss Owen and my mission will be accomplished” Bella thought and smirked.
*************************************

Closing time...
Everyone was leaving the class and going home. Bella walked swiftly to Collins' place while he was carrying his bag ready to go home.

Owen had left the class to meet Mary so they can go home together. Bella had already vowed in her heart that even if she couldn’t see Mary and Owen at school by closing time, she will make sure she follow them home and cast her spell on them Collins raised his head and saw Bella.

“Dufrolis amagnata...ajiat sefralis, Bues beus beus” Bella casted a spell and a silver knife appeared on her hand.

Collins saw the only thing that could kill him in Bella’s hand. He knelt down instantly and pleaded to Bella not to kill him. He feared that he may die.

“I was only trying to help please” Collins pleaded but Bella who is now overwhelmed with power and ready to fulfil her mission by all means, she has vowed to take away anyone who will stand as obstacle in accomplishing her mission.

•What's your take on this?

EPISODE 32 - SEASON 2

After few minutes, they were done with the text, the V.P ACAD signaled to the teacher to collect their answer sheet. He went round the class and collected the answer sheet. The vice principal left along with the tall skinny teacher.

“Mary, that is so bad of you, why would you do that to Jude” Lydia said bluntly.

She was pissed off greatly for the first time at Mary. She can’t imagine that the gentle and loving Mary she knew could do such.

“What?!” Mary exclaimed.

“What?! What does that suppose to mean? What you did for Jude is bad and we must tell you the truth as friend” Kitty added.

Mary looked at her friend interchangeably and bowed her head. She doesn’t see anything wrong in what she did prior to this time. But she felt guilty cus she has now realized that she shouldn’t have behaved in such a way.

“I only thought of a way to get rid off him, he was disturbing me and I had to focus on my questions. More so, I hate examination malpractice” Mary defended.

“Nevertheless, you went too far” Lydia said with a stern face.

“Guys, I’m sorry. I’ve realized my fault” Mary said with a pathetic face as she looked at her friends pleading for forgiveness.

“It’s alright, but you know the right thing to do” Kitty said.

Mary nodded.

Mary stood up and went outside.
Jude was standing behind the school pillar, his heart was bitter. He can’t imagine that Mary could do that to him. Mary walked to him.

“Jude, I’m sorry, I flawed. Please forgive me” Mary pleaded.

Jude who had maintained the face of a pity somebody suddenly lightened up his face.

“Mary, I do not want you to feel bad please, we all make mistake” Jude said forming a fake smile. He dislike to see Mary in a bad mood. Even though what Mary did hurt him. He can’t stop himself from being at peace with her.

Mary maintained her sorry face and bowed her head slightly. She can’t imagine that Jude could forgive her easily.

“I’m sorry once more” Mary said.

“Oh no! Mary, I can start crying now if this continues, I do not have any grudge against you” Jude said trying hard to form a boring smile on his face cus to be sincere what Mary did hurts him so much.

“Thanks for forgiving me, I’m gonna start to leave” Mary said coldly waiting for the permission of Jude before she would leave his presence.

“Erm… Mary, I always like you to stay around me, what about lunch?” Jude said and his heart skipped. He prayed a thousand times in his heart that Mary will not say no.

“If it’s gonna make up for the wrong doings I had committed, sure, I will go for lunch with you” Mary said.

“It isn’t about making up, I’ve always wanted us to go for lunch together. And I won’t want you to keep feeling pathetic, just brighten up your mood please” Jude pleaded.

Mary nodded.

Jude smiled and signaled for Mary to lead.

They walked side by side to the cafeteria.
*************************************

Feathers and the Labour Prefect were sitting side by side in the class.

“I had a strange dream yesterday. And I had been trying to fathom what the meaning could be, but I can’t” Feathers said.

“Tell me about it, I may be of help” The Labour prefect replied.

Feathers brought out his diary and opened the very part he wrote the dream in, he handed it over to the Labour Prefect.

The labour prefect read it for few minutes and gave it back to Feathers without saying a word.

“How about it? ” Feathers asked when he noticed that his friend wasn’t saying a word.

“Your mom and dad are dead, we could have asked them for the mystery behind you cus the dream says you have a sister. It might be an elder sister or your twin sister. The first thing we need to do is to locate whom your sister is."

"The dream also talked about dragon, but the dragon was later referred to as a man. The man and his daughter are your enemy. This man and his daughter will come to fight you at a time unexpected and if you do not know how to use your power then, they will defeat your sister and you."

"The dream also says you have a supernatural ability, so the third thing we gonna do is to find out what power you have. But still you will never be able to use the power unless we find out where the Library of Power is. That is where we will see the scroll that will teach you how to use your power, having stated the goals, let’s think of a way to handle it now” The Labour Prefect said wisely.

Feathers love how he spoke, he smiled and start to think after few minutes.

”Feathers, did you come up with anything?” The Labour Prefect asked.

“Josh, I tried, nothing is coming” Feathers replied.

(The name of the Labour Prefect is Josh)

“A dream does not come to confuse us, most times the answer lie within us. I’m gonna start by asking you some deep questions, are you in for it?” Josh said.

Feathers exhaled and wondered how Josh can be so brilliant when it comes to spiritual matters.

“I’m in, but wait, why are you so brilliant in this field of dream and interpretations?” Feathers asked.

Josh grinned.

“It’s a gift, I do that always anytime people narrate their dreams to me, but my parents asked me to stop when neighbours start disturbing me everyday by coming to our house to ask for the interpretation of their dreams from me” Josh said.

“Wow! We have being friends for years and I did not even know this part of you, anyways, I can’t wait for you to interpret my dream” Feathers said eagerly.

“Firstly, did you think your parents had any child before you?” Josh asked.

“I do not know, cus I’ve never seen any child with them” Feathers said.

“The fact is you either have a sister or a twin sister” Josh said and closed his eye.

Josh had a gift of time travel, but he kept that to himself.

Time travel is the ability to go back to the past to see what has happened.

Feathers wondered why Josh closed his eye

Josh set his mind on the dream and travelled back to the year Feathers was born. He saw a man giving a child to another man.
He saw their names written on them.

Seven was the given the child to a barren couple. He saw that the child Seven had was a twin. He also heard the names of the children being called. His spirit went home with Seven. He heard Seven call the girl Mary. His spirit left Seven and went to meet the barren couple that collected the male child. He heard them calling the male child Feathers. His spirit then travels in space to a far land searching for the Library of Power
His spirit met an ancient man sitting by a rock, he was putting on a white gown, his hair is as white as a white wool and his face is as white as snow, the old man stood holding a rod.

“Sir, please I’m going to the Library of Power ” Josh spirit asked.

The old man sighed and stood up
He directed Josh there with his rod.
Josh saw a small hut afar beside a very large mountain. Josh spirit was happy. His spirit thanked the man and he ran there in a milliseconds.

He saw the hut, he entered, it was dirty and he saw many scrolls inside. He tried to hold the scroll but he can’t cus he’s a spirit. Only a human can handle it.

“How do I come here as a human?” his spirit thought.

Josh’s spirit ran immediately to the old man that directed him to the place.

The old man was still sitting.

“Sir, please how do I come here as a human, my friend need to get that scroll before the dragon and his daughter comes to defeat him?” Josh spirit asked the man.

“This continent is Asia, the country is Korea. This village is called Jeonju Hanok village, this is where you can find the hut that contains the scroll that will unveil how your friend and his sister will use their power” The old man said.

Josh spirit wondered how the man knew what he came for.

Josh took some steps away.

“My son, please tell your friend to come with his sister, they will study and learn how to use their power here cus no one is permitted to take the scroll out of Jeonju” The old man said.

“One more thing” Josh spirit asked.

The old man looked at him with an expression that says that he should go ahead and ask his question.

“Please how do I know who the dragon and his daughter is? I need to know who the enemy I’m dealing with is” Josh spirit asked.

“It is not for me to disclose that to you. You will find out on earth” The old man said.

Josh opened his eye and saw Feathers still staring at him.

“Josh, you have closed your eye for some minutes now” Feathers said.

“I saw into the past. I found out where the Library of Power is ” Josh said.

“Tell me everything you found out please?” Feathers pleaded.

“The Library of Power is in Jeonju Hanok village in Korean at Asia. We will have to go there together to read the scroll, but your sister must follow you, I found out that you have a twin sister” Josh said.

Feathers heart skipped.

He exhaled and blinked.

“Tell me please, who is she?”

“Over there” Josh said pointing to Mary who had just returned from the cafeteria with Jude.

EPISODE 31 - SEASON 2

Immediately Mary saw Bella and Lennox, she knew they came for something bad. She hurriedly held Owen by his hand and pulled him, they both ran upstairs into a room , they closed the door on themselves.

“Owen, what do you suggest we do, this people will soon find out we are here” Mary said.

“Be calm!” Owen said and looked around.

“They wouldn’t suspect we are in the toilet, will they?” Owen asked
Mary shook her head.

“Good, follow me” Owen said and went to the toilet with Mary, they closed the door on themselves and breath silently.

Lennox saw them running upstairs, he smirked and wondered where they were running to. He knew no one can save them, he is confident of himself.

Lennox stepped upstairs searching for different rooms to know where they are. Bella also joined in the searching. They searched under the bed, inside the wardrobe, everywhere, but I guess Zeus or some kind of help that is not natural made them forget to check inside the toilet.

“Where In the world did these guys hide?!” Lennox lamented.

“This is their house, they know it better than we do” Bella replied.

Lennox stepped down frustrated and Bella followed behind.

“What are we gonna tell Unknown?” Lennox asked.

“Sincerely, I do not know” Bella said.

“But it’s advisable we leave this place at this very moment, they might call the cops and we may be accused of intruding into their homes without being invited” Bella advised.

“Damn it!” Lennox cursed and jogged out. Bella followed him behind swiftly.

They went back to the temple dejected.
*************************************

Owen had become dumb again, the magic Lennox used on him had expired. They were afraid to come out of the toilet till it was morning, they were thinking that Lennox and Bella may still be around.

It was after Owen checked his wrist watch and he discovered it’s 6:06am already, that was when he boldly came out, he searched everywhere and he confirmed that they were gone. He informed Mary who was still scared of going out to leave the toilet. They dressed and went to school.

“I’m so sorry that you won’t be able to speak again, I wish that the 24 hours magic that made you speak will be an 100 years magic” Mary said facing Owen at the school garage.

“It’s alright, It’s my destiny” Owen said in sign language and walked to his class.
*************************************

The Vice principal academic came to Mary’s class.

“You all can guess what I came for, your text is commencing today and I believe you all have read. I personally assigned myself to supervise this class.” The vice principal said and signaled to the teacher that followed him to bring in the text question.

The skinny tall teacher walked towards the vice principal academic and placed the text questions on the table.

The V.P ACAD directed the teacher to distribute the text question which he did.

Jude collected the question and shook his head.

There is not one single question that Jude know amidst the questions. It was a Mathematics test. He knew that the test was that day, so he sat right behind Mary. He told the student that use to sit behind Mary to leave her seat so he can sit there.

The girl obliged without arguing with Jude and went to sit at Jude’s place before the test.

Mary knows just all of the questions because she is very good in Mathematics.

‘Mary, please allow me to see your answer sheet, I do not know any of the question” Jude pleaded
Mary sighed and continued answering her questions.

“Mary, please, do not ignore me” Jude whispered.

“Excuse me sir” Mary said raising her hand up in the air.

“Yes! young lady, what did you want?” The V.P ACAD asked.

“This boy behind me is disturbing me” Mary said.

“Is that true?” V.P ACAD asked Jude.

Jude nodded.

“Can I have your answer sheet?” The V.P ACAD said politely and collected Jude’s answer sheet.

“Can you walk out please?” The V.P ACAD said.

Jude walked out, he had not written any word in his answer sheet.

“Mary reported me, not only that, she also referred to me as this boy” Jude thought painfully.

To be continued.

EPISODE 30 (END OF SEASON 1)

“Mary, are you alright” Feathers asked.

Mary nodded.

“I was confessed by Bella, she used her power on me so that I can start doing everything that she commanded” Mary said audibly not facing anyone in particular.

Bella was surprised to hear what Mary said. Her heart beats faster than usual, her lips parted and dropped. She wondered how Mary got to know.

“But Lennox gave me a go ahead, didn’t he see into prophecy that this girl will come back to her senses or he just wanted to disgrace me intentionally. Well, I need to defend myself first” Bella thought.

“What are you talking about?” Bella said feigning ignorance.

Feathers heard what Mary said, he tried to make sense out of it, but he couldn’t.

Firstly, she saw her kneeling down begging Owen to kiss Bella, she stopped that and looked at him for some time, and now she is talking about Bella confessing her.

Feathers kept wondering what has gone wrong will Mary.

Owen knew that Bella is a powerful somebody, after all, Lennox is a magician and a powerful one at that, like father like daughter, Owen thought that Bella must have got some of her power from her father.

So, yeah, If Mary claimed to be confessed by Bella, it may be true. Even Owen is now finding it hard to understand Bella.

“Owen, I’m sorry for how I tried to convince you to kiss Bella, please let’s go home” Mary said and entered the car without waiting for Owen’s response.

Owen sighed and followed Mary, he entered by other side of the car.

Feathers watched as Mary drove away with Owen. He still couldn’t comprehend all that had just happened.

“Feathers, don’t mind her, I think she’s having some mental personal issues cause I can’t understand all that had just happened now” Bella said.

Features exhaled.

“Let’s move” Feathers said to the Labour Prefect and took some steps to walk away from Bella.

“Hey! Feathers, please don’t go, can we go and catch some fun together?” Bella pleaded.

“No, I’m sorry, I had just participated in a fierce debate, I need time to relax” Feathers said.

“Erm...can we…can I follow you home?” Bella requested.

“Please do not talk about following me home again, I need time to relax, understand me please” Feathers said politely and walked away with the Labour Prefect.

Bella felt bad that Feathers left, she wished that Feathers stay, she had always imagine spending time with Feathers would be. She can’t imagine how lunch with Feathers is gonna be. She went home.
*************************************

Feathers use his sword to guide a man’s sword. The man jump and rolled, he tried to pierce Feathers shoulder with his sword. Feathers guided it, the sword escaped him. Feathers used the opportunity to try to hit the man with his sword at the man’s back. But the man was swift enough to guide it. The man took some steps backward.

Feathers watched and stood with his sword like a warrior.

“Sufrodaota megris megris adiat!!!”

The man casted a spell to the sword he was holding, the sword left his hand and came towards Feathers, the sword was fighting Feathers without someone controlling it.

Feathers exhausted all his energy at some point and his sword fell from his hand, the sword dwelling with him stayed very close to his neck like he is about to be beheaded. He raised his head gently.

The man who casted a spell on the sword that was about to kill Feathers walked closer to him and held the sword.

Feathers fear decreased and he sighed in relief.

The man bowed to Feathers and took some steps away.

“Where are you going?” Feathers asked the man.

“Follow me” The man said and Feathers followed him like a sheep about to be slaughter.

He is not having problem trusting the man now, after all, the man had the opportunity to kill him yet the man refused.

The man went to the an old hut, the man entered and Feathers followed. Everywhere was dirty, there were cobwebs at every angle of the room. Everywhere was not properly arranged except the old scrolls that were well arranged inside the shelves.

“Where is this place please?” Feathers asked the man.

“It’s a place on earth, you need to find where this place is on earth, so you can read the scrolls here, it will teach you how to use your powers. You have supernatural abilities but you will never know how to use it unless you are being taught."

"More so, whenever you are coming to this place, come along with your sister, read everything you need to know about your powers here. Cause the time has come and the time is now when the dragon and his daughter will come to you in anger ready to devour you and your sister and all that you loved and cherish."

"This dragon is a mage who practices white magic, but because of his selfish reason and the vow to protect the temple of his ancestors , he betrayed his conscience and he has formed alliance with his daughter to bring evil upon an innocent son. Listen this day my son, the battle has commenced, be smart and find this place quick on earth. It’s called the Library of Powers” The man said and Feathers woke up.

It was a dream. Feathers had being dreaming all this while.

“It’s been a while I dreamt and remember every scene of the dream and the words” Feathers said and quickly scribbled everything that he remembered in the dream inside his diary.

He exhaled after he had written down the dream. Her went to the bathroom, rinsed his face and stretched his body. He came back to his bed and sat. He kept staring at the dream he narrated inside his diary seriously trying to understand what it meant.
*************************************

Lennox and his daughter stood before Unknown at the inner part of the temple.

“I’m really disappointed in you, just a simple assignment, you can not propel your daughter to accomplish. This has got complicated than we imagine. I told you then that prophesy says that the twin that will be given birth to by Seven will have supernatural abilities. The prophesy also says they will fight us with their all their strengths.
Lennox and I knows that that Mary is one of the twin with supernatural power, but we aren’t moved cause we know that there is no way she can ever learn how to use her power."

"What we are doing is simple, we are taking Mary out of the way, so we can focus on Owen and accomplish our mission” Unknown said.

“What if her twin shows up?” Lennox asked.

“I pray he or she won’t causes it’s gonna be a tough battle between us, we just need to be fast in taking Mary out of the way” Unknown replied.

“Bella, have you being able to know where Mary live?” Unknown asked.

“Yeah, she told me when I confessed her ” Bella replied.

“Lennox, go there now and bring Mary here, cast a spell on Owen so he can loose his memory, he will not remember all that happened which include how you came to take Mary, we are gonna keep Mary in our custody as long as it takes till we find her twin, once we do, we keep him too and ensure Bella kiss Owen. Once we accomplish our primary mission which is Bella kissing Owen, we will release the twin to go” Unknown said.

“May your wisdom never run dry, I’m on it” Lennox said to Unknown and went out with Bella.

Bella and Lennox left the temple at 11:03 pm and went to Mary’s house. They got there by 11:47pm.
*************************************

11:30pm...
Owen and Mary sat in the living room playing a game.

“Owen, I feel bad for you cause in the next thirty minutes, you are gonna stop talking” Mary said during the middle of their game.

“It’s painful, I just wish I can be so certain of who the right lady is, but I have to be very sure so I would not make the greatest mistake of my life” Owen said.

“I always wish I’m the right lady, but anytime I remember the dream I had long time ago, I use to doubt if I’m the right lady sincerely” Mary said.

“And if you are sure to be the right lady, I need to be sure too, I know it will take time but I know I will be certain of who the right lady is and have my first kiss with her someday” Owen said.

“Owen, I never knew you can be this friendly, you have always be strict” Mary said.

“Being denied by nature of what others had is a pain I bear every single day of my life. Seeing everyone around me speaking and yet I can’t speak is so painful, that is why I had never being happy. I’m scared that once twelve am clocks, I’m gonna return to the boring Owen, happiness will depart from me, the pain of not being able to speak will take hold of my heart again” Owen said and bowed his head, drop of tears streamed from the corner of his eye.

Mary walked closer to him and hugged him, she placed her head on Owen’s shoulder. Owen wrapped her hand around her
Mary raised her head towards the wall clock and saw the time.

“Owen, it’s 11:47pm, I think we need to rest since we will have to wake early tomorrow to go to school” Mary said.

“True” Owen replied.

Mary stood up and Owen did too.

“Bugradovis bulas bulas mnnnnriiiii mnnnriii agasit. Ye sevens and eights. The powers of baal! Come ye… Asafat!!!” Lennox who was standing at the entrance of Mary’s house angrily casted the spells and the whole door of the entrance to Owen’s house flew away.

“Jeez! ” Mary screamed when she saw the door of the entrance flown away.

Owen arched his brow in fear and shook fretfully.

Lennox and Bella entered the house furiously.

• Did you think Lennox and Bella succeed in their plans?

•What's your take on this?

To be continued.

EPISODE 29

“Man, you spoke well, very bold” Labour Prefect said.

“Thanks bro” Feathers said and smiled.

They walked outside the hall, many students were dispersing to their various homes already.

“Wait, isn’t that Mary?” Feathers said setting his gaze towards a particular direction.

“Sure, she is” The Labour Prefect said and took some steps further.

Feathers jogged to where Mary was, she was kneeling down and begging Owen while Bella leaned against the car and watch.

Bella saw Feathers and she quickly left the car and came closer to Feathers.

“Feathers, Hi” She said and waved her fingers.

Feathers ignored and set his gaze still at Mary.

“Owen, what did you do to her?” Feathers asked.

“Nothing, she is insisting that I kiss Bella, can you imagine?” Owen said.

“Funny! Why would she?” Feathers said and smirked.

“Mary is that true” Feathers asked Mary.

“Please, Bella said I should convince Owen to kiss him” Mary said and cried.

Mary looked up at the face of Feathers, her eyes suddenly became blurry, she couldn’t see Feathers, she was seeing herself.

“Mary is anything wrong?” Feathers asked when she realized that Mary kept looking at him and she wasn’t taking her eyes away.

Mary remained silent.

>>>>>>>FLASH BACK<<<<<<<
“I think I should Inform you that I’m getting married soon and I want to confirm if nothing will happen to me or my unborn children” Seven asked Lennox.

That was the time Seven, the father of Mary wanted to marry, even though he had lost trusts in Lennox because of how Star betrayed him and nothing happened to her despite the fact they had a covenant. He still had an iota fear and he think he needs to clear things out with Lennox so that any evil will not befall him and his generation in the future.

“Star has already forcefully broken the relationship, the curse will be on her first child, but for you, you are free, but I pray you did not give birth to a twin” Lennox said.

“A twin? Why?” Seven asked.

“Giving birth to a twin might made the curse have effect over you as well” Lennox said.

“No, I do not want that, I’m gonna get married and give birth soon, preadventure I give birth to a twin, what should I do” Seven asked.

“Simple, take your favourite amidst them, take care of him or her, dispose the other one” Lennox said.

“Come again please, I pray I do not give birth to a twin, but are you saying if I give birth to a twin, I should have one and throw the other one away” Seven asked.

“No, by dispose I mean, give it to the orphanage or give it to any barren couple around you” Lennox said.

“Alright” Seven said and stood up, and went away.

Seven got married happily, his wife got pregnant and gave birth to a twin. When Seven heard that it was twin that his wife gave birth to, he placed his hands on his two head and cried.

“It was Star that had brought this upon me by making me engage in that convenient and yet betrayed me, now, I will have to give one of my child out” He thought and his heart was very bitter.

He went to meet the doctor and told him to inform his wife that she only gave birth to one child.

The doctor did as commanded by Seven, he did not bother asking why, after all, he had signed in the wife’s presence before child delivery that he is her husband.

Seven called his friend who had been barren for three years since they got married. The barren couple came to meet Seven at the hospital. Seven presented the male child to them.

The wondered why he is giving them a newly born male child.

“My wife gave birth to twin, while you have none, take this kid and have it as your own son” Seven said and gave them the child.

The barren couple happily collected it and thanked Seven. They went home happily hoping that someday Seven will not come to claim his child.

Seven saw them leaving happily and tears streamed down his face.

“Even if a man has twenty children, he would never have trivialize anyone of them, he watched his new born baby being carried away.

He and his wife went home with the new born baby left, she is a girl.

She was named Mary.

The barren couple named their male child Feathers.

But Lennox hide a secret from Seven, he thought that it is not the right time to tell Seven.

Lennox knew already that Seven will give birth to twin, he has seen into prophecy, he knew that the twin he is gonna give birth to will have supernatural abilities but they will never know how to use it unless somebody teaches then.
*************************************

>>>>>>Back to Reality<<<<<<<
Mary felt like a scale fell from her eyes, her understanding became brightened, she sullenly remembered all that has happened, how she was beginning to obey all the command of Bella, she remembered that Vanessa did the same thing when Bella looked into her eye and moved her mouth silently like someone saying something.

Mary stood up from her knees at once and rubbed her face. She knew at once that the same power that Bella used on her, that was the same power she used on Vanessa. She noticed that not all of Bella’s power can work on her, like the day Bella touched Jude and Jude fell, Bella used that same power on her by touching her but nothing happen to her.

Guess, it is only her confessing ability that has worked on me, but why did I suddenly come back to my senses, why was I looking at Feathers and seeing myself” Mary thought.

What's your take on this?

EPISODE 28
Owen turned when he heard Bella asking for the fulfilment of promise. He was surprised that Bella had no iota of shame, despite the fact that they humiliated their class, she still had the gut to be asking for the promise.

“Bella, ain’t you ashamed?” Owen asked fluently.

“I’m not, why would I? Failure is a norm, everybody fails and for the fact that we failed today doesn’t mean we will keep failing, every successful man you see has once failed, so please stop talking about that and fulfil your promise” Bella said.

“Owen!” Mary shouted from afar as she approached Owen.

“Jeez! Owen, how come! You spoke, I was surprised, even the other students were surprised too for the way you spoke during the debate. Whom did you kiss?” Mary asked curiously.

“I of course, he had the kiss with me because I’m the right lady that was why he spoke” Bella replied Mary’s curiosity.

Mary arched her brow.

“Owen, is that true, did you kiss her?” Mary asked not wanting to believe what Bella just said.

“I’m just about to, we made a deal, she told Lennox to make me speak for twenty four hours after which I must kiss her” Owen said.

“Really! Can’t Lennox just tell you who the right lady is?” Mary asked.

“He once told me that it’s Bella, but I can’t just kiss her just because he said it, I still need to take my time” Owen said.

Mary sighed.

“All I’m waiting for is for you to fulfil your promise cus you know what I can do if you do not” Bella said threateningly.

“What would you do?” Mary asked boldly.

“Seems you are quick to forget that my father is a magician and a temple priest, trust me, you do not want to try us in our family” Bella said proudly.

“There is nothing that you gonna do, you just a frustrated b**** on an evil mission” Mary said and grabbed Owen’s hand.

She walked him to her car. They were already done for the day at school. The debate occurred after the school academic activity.

Bella was furious and he quickly pick up her phone to call her father.

“Hello dad” Bella said.

“Hi dear” Lennox replied.

“Owen promised to kiss me if you can make him speak for twenty four hours and now Mary is making him do otherwise” Bella said.

“You mean Mary is not allowing Owen to kiss you?” Lennox asked.

”Yes dad” Bella replied.

“Confess Mary!” Lennox ordered.

“What?! Dad, I thought I can’t use my confessing ability now ” Bella asked.

“I will handle that, confess Mary quick, you must kiss Owen today, we do not have much time” Lennox said.

“Alright dad” Bella replied.

Bella ran towards Mary’s car.
Mary and Owen had already sat inside the car discussing on either to go home and she cook for Owen or branch to eat at a nearby restaurant.

Bella came rushing to their car all of a sudden.

“What did you want?” Mary asked from inside the car.

“I wanna see you please?” Bella pleaded.

Mary looked at Owen to see if Owen would permit her to step down from the car. But Owen himself was confused, he didn’t know why Bella of all people will be pleading to see Mary.

Mary didn’t get any signal from Owen as to either she should step down or not, she turned her head, opened the door and step down
Mary leaned against her car.

“Alright, I’m here, what did you wanna see me for?” Mary asked.

Bella stood directly opposite her, she stared at Mary’s face and casted a silent spell.

Mary wondered what she was doing, but before she could think of what to do, her eye suddenly become darkened, Bella’s eye was absolutely white.

Mary was successfully confessed by Bella.

Bella smiled when she realizes that her power worked on Mary.

“Command me my Lord” Mary said and bowed.

Mary grinned.

“Listen to me, don’t call me my Lord, call me Bella, firstly, describe where you live for me?” Bella asked.

“52nd street, Lexington Avenue” Mary replied.

“Good, I do not have much time now, I want to kiss Owen, what can you do to help me?” Bella asked.

“Anything you want me to do” Mary replied.

“Alright, speak to him that he should fulfil his
promise of kissing me, convince him, do that now!” Bella commanded.

“Alright” Mary said and bowed.

“Wait, stop bowing for me, that might create suspicion” Bella said.

“Alright” Mary said and stepped inside the car.

“Owen, I think it is good that you fulfil your promise to Bella” Mary advised.

“Why? Why did you suddenly change your mind? What if she’s not the right lady” Owen said.

”She is the right lady, just do as I’ve said ” Mary said.

“Why should I do as you have said, are you my commander, is it because I allowed you to be driving me home that made you feel like you are a boss? I’m suppose to be driving myself to school if not because I had being dumb all this while, anyways, suit yourself” Owen said and opened the door, he stepped down from Mary’s car.

Mary opened the door of her side and quickly went to meet Owen, she knelt down and started crying.

“Please Owen, fulfil your promise" Mary pleaded.

Owen wondered what has gone wrong with Mary, what is making her behave this way, why the sudden change of behaviour.

Bella stood and leaned on the car, she smirked cus she knows that Mary will do everything possible to convince Owen to kiss her.

•What's your take on this?

EPISODE 27

“We welcome you all from the short break, now we gonna hear from the ladies mouth” Mr. Faraday said and gazed his attention at Bella.

Bella stood up and held the microphone.

“Good day Head of Judge, the judges, the representatives of the Ministry of Education, my co- debaters and colleagues. My name is Bella and I’m here to support the notion that says ‘Death Penalty should be allowed.’

My partner here has given the definition of what death penalty is and two solid points that proves that death penalty should be allowed.

My first point is this, The death penalty should be applied, because it is a just punishment for horrific crimes. The Christian Bible has the solution, “an eye for an eye”. Let the punishment fit the crime. If you take a life, you forfeit your life.

Some criminals are so far beyond any hope of redemption that the only way to control them is to terminate their life. If a terrorist is sentenced to life in prison, he will only recruit more terrorists from the prison population.

Executing the terrorist would be a nice way of saying, “mass murder is not acceptable in our society”.

Secondly, If someone murders someone else, they have given up their human rights, including the one to stay alive themselves
The punishment should ‘fit the crime’ – if you have killed someone, you should be killed too.
Giving a killer the death sentence will stop them – and others – doing it again.

The very small chance of executing the wrong person is balanced by the benefits to society of putting off other murderers.

With these four points that my partner and I had listed, we hope that we have successfully convince you that death penalty should be allowed. Thanks” Bella said and sat.

The crowds of student clapped and cheered her.

“Fantastic” Mr Faraday said and scribbled the points she got based on standard.

“Alright, let’s hear from this side as well” The principal said facing Mary

Mary had being scared all this while, she was hoping that she would not fumble, her heart was heavy. She stood up and handled the microphone, her hand was literally shaking. She closed her eye tight and exhaled heavily.

“Good day Head of Judge, Judges, representatives of the Ministry of Education, co-debaters and colleagues. My name is Mary and I’m against the notion that Death Penalty should be allowed.

My partner has precisely described what death penalty is and gave us two strong points to back up the notion we are against.

The first reason why I think death penalty should not be allowed is this; There’s no ‘humane’ way to kill. The 2006 execution of Angel Nieves Diaz, by a so-called ‘humane’ lethal injection, took 34 minutes and required two doses. Doctors have said that it is likely Diaz’ death was painful.

Other brutal methods of execution used around the world include hanging, shooting and beheading. The nature of these deaths only continues to perpetuate the cycle of violence and may not alleviate the pain already suffered by the victims’ family.

Secondly, It makes a public spectacle of an individual’s death. Executions are often undertaken in an extremely public manner, with public hangings in Iran or live broadcasts of lethal injections in the US. According to UN human rights experts, executions in public serve no legitimate purpose and only increase the cruel, inhuman and degrading nature of this punishment.

“All executions violate the right to life. Those carried out publicly are a gross affront to human dignity which cannot be tolerated,” said Hassiba Hadj Sahraoui, Amnesty International’s Deputy Director for the Middle East and North Africa.

With these four points that my partner and I had stated, we hope that we had convinced you that death penalty should be banned in the society” Mary said and sat.

Their was a loud cheers from the audience, louder than that of Bella. Majority of the crowd love the precise points of Mary than that of Bella.

“Ladies and gentlemen, we have come to the end of the end of the long anticipated debate between Class 8 and Class 7, let’s listen attentively as I announce the individual scores of the winner. Without bias, and with strict standard of measuring who won this fierce debate between class 8 and Class 7. I am pleased to announce that; Owen who was the first to deliver his speech had 63 points."

The multitudes of students clapped for Owen.

"Feathers who spoke against the notion that Owen support had 75 points."

The multitudes of student clapped loudly for Feathers.

"Bella who was the first to speak amidst the ladies, she had 55 points."

Many of the students clapped gently.

"Mary who is a partner of Feathers and is also against the notion that death penalty should be allowed, she had 93 points."

Everyone stood up and started shouting, hailing her and praising she and Feathers.

Mary blushed and bowed her head gently. Feathers looked at her and smiled. He covered his face with his two palms and exhaled, he was so happy that they won and made their class proud.

After few seconds...
“Thanks you, kindly have your seat” Mr. Faraday announced and every student were beginning to sit down one after the other.

“Ladies and gentlemen , The total point for Owen and Bella is 118 points. While the total point for Feathers and Mary is 168 points. The winner of this hot debate is Feathers and Mary."

Many students that are in support of Mary and Feathers stood up again and rejoiced. The few students who wanted Bella and Owen to win just sat down silently watching others rejoice.

Bella felt disgraced, she bowed her head slightly, Owen felt bad that their team loss. He felt sad that he couldn’t make their class proud.

The representatives of the Ministry of Education stepped down from the podium to congratulate the winner which are Feathers and Mary. The Head of Judge and other judges also stepped down to congratulate Feathers and Mary
They were awarded and praised.
After the organizers of the programmes had left, many students rushed to hug Mary and Feathers.

Owen walked sluggishly outside, Bella followed behind.

"Owen, It’s time to fulfil your promise” Bella said to Owen.

•What promise is that?

•Do you think Owen will fulfill his promise?

To be continued.

EPISODE 26

Break Time...
Bella had just come from the cafeteria where she went to eat alone, she did not bother inviting Owen, she felt guilty because of what she did for Owen. She disliked the boy that helped Owen, while she was coming, she met some set of girl rallying round the billboard at the principal’s office, she decided to check what they were staring at, she took her time and checked, it was the names of debaters that were written and the topic they they were gonna be debating on.

She saw her name and that of Owen written boldly at the left side while Mary’s name and Feathers name were written at the right.

“What! I’m gonna be debating against my crush, gosh?!” She thought and went to her class.

“Owen, have you seen the update on the school billboard” Bella said to Owen who was reading silently.

Owen nodded without raising his head neither was he smiling.

“I’m sorry for not helping you, you and I are representing our class, while Mary and Feathers are representing their class” Bella said expecting a surprise reaction from Owen.

Owen simply nodded his head without saying anything.

“You won’t say anything?” Bella asked.

“What am I suppose to say?” Owen asked with a sterned face in sign language.

“Oh! Guess you are not in the right mood, I just think we can work together, more so, you can not speak, how will you speak at the debate?” Bella said.

Owen remained silent.

“My dad can help you speak for 24 hours but under one condition, at least you will be able to speak during the debate” Bella said.

Owen arched his brow when he heard the Lennox can help him speak for 24 hours. He was damn surprised.

When Bella told him about the truth that he had being chosen as one of the debater, he felt like expressing his shock, but he kept it, he did not like what Bella did to him so he is still pissed off with Bella at least to let her know that what she did to him was wrong.

“You mean Lennox can help me speak for 24 hours?” Owen asked to confirm what he has just heard.

“Yeah, but under one condition” Mary said.

“What is the condition? Owen asked.

”You gonna kiss me after the debate” Bella said.

“Kiss you! Why is that necessary, even if you are the right girl, I should still be able to choose and not get forced” Owen said.

“Then you won’t like it when the whole school found out that you are dumb on the debate day” Bella said.

“That will be worst” Bella added

Owen looked at Bella and squeezed his face like someone that wanted to cry, he thought painfully as to why he will be born dumb, if he is not dumb, Bella is not gonna be taking advantage of him like this.

Owen had no choice but to say yes, at least for the time of debate to pass.

”What if I kiss her, and I’m not able to speak again, then I will become dumb for life” Owen thought confusingly.

“What do you think?” Bella asked.

Owen nodded.

“It’s fine” he said in sign language.

Bella smirked and rejoice in her heart.

“You gonna have to follow me home today so dad can perform the power on you” Bella said.

Owen sighed heavily and prayed to Zeus to help him like he always does.
*************************************

Mary had gone to meet Feathers about the debate, they had promised themselves to make their class proud, after all, they are not yet dating their crushes.

Feathers and Mary sat in the school library, sitting side by side and reading the textbooks they have ordered for to have a broad understanding on the topic of debate. They continued reading for hours.

Mary called Owen to inform him that she will not be able to drive him home today because she is in the library studying. Owen do not respond on phone, he will simply pressed a button on the phone so that Mary will hear the click of the button, that is how Mary will know that he heard her.

Owen smiled because she has already been thinking of how to tell Mary that she is following Bella to her house.

Owen followed Bella to her place, Lennox welcomed them.

Bella called her dad to a private place and told her dad about the debate Owen will be participating in on Friday. He told his father to help Owen to speak for 24 hours, she knows her father has the ability to do that.

Her father performs magics for people, but the magics are never permanent, the highest number of days a magic from his father had lasted to their client is 3 days.

By client, I mean, those that come to the temple to ask Lennox for help.

“That shouldn’t be a problem” Lennox said.

“Thanks dad” Bella said and smiled.

She took some steps outside, her father called her back suddenly.

“Bella!”

Bella turned.

“How about your primary mission in that school?” Lennox asked.

“Dad, trust me, I’ve handled it” She said and smiled.

Lennox sighed and went to meet Owen at the living room where he sat anxiously.

“Owen, I’m gonna help you speak for 24 hours, from 12am on Friday till 11:59pm on Friday” Lennox said.

“I will be grateful” Owen said in sign language.

“Open your mouth slightly” Lennox said.

Owen parted his lips and Lennox casted a spell on it, Owen felt his tongue loosened, he tried to speak but he can’t.

“I felt my tongue loose but I still can not speak” Owen said in sign language.

“I just said you gonna start speaking on Friday morning” Lennox said.

“Oh! I totally forget, okay” Owen stood up anxiously and wanted to start going home.

“Are you going so soon?” Bella asked.

“What else?” Owen asked in sign language.

“Aren’t we gonna prepare for the debate” Bella said.

“True” Owen said.

“Where can we study then?” Owen asked.

“Right there” Bella pointed to an open room that looks exactly like a study room.

They went there and started studying about the topic of the debate.

Bella brought out her laptop and was researching, she was cramming, Owen was doing the same too, their face looked serious, there is not one single emotions attached. They are seriously preparing for the debate, they wanna make their class proud.

The deal day of the debate is in the next episode, you wanna see who win?

To be continued.

EPISODE 25

Jude watched as Mary walked away with Owen, he didn’t know what to do, he was confused. He thought that Mary should have rejected Owen’s pull and tell Owen that she is busy with him and even that Owen “can’t he see that I’m with the girl?”

Jude felt bad.

The assembly rang and he didn’t bother going back to his class, he just went to the assembly hall
*************************************

The assembly commenced and series of the usual programmes commenced, afterwards, the principal mounted the podium to announce some important information needed by the students.

“You all know that your mid semester text is commencing next week, it’s advisable that you all sit tight and study for your exam, remember I always tell you that everyone is a genius, they just need to be hardworking and diligent in all that they do” The principal said.

“Secondly; there is gonna be a debate, the debate is gonna be between class 7 and Class 8. The debate is taking place on Friday in this same hall by 2pm. Some representatives of the Ministry of Education are coming to honour and award the winner of the debate” The principal said.

Owen arched his brow when he heard that the debate is gonna be between his class ‘Class 8’ and Mary’s class which is Class 7. He hoped in his heart that he would not be chosen to represent his class, after all, he is the most brilliant student in his class.

The principal gave further announcements and told everyone to march inside.
*************************************

The Biology teacher came to Owen’s class.

“Good morning class” He greeted.

“Hi ma!” Everyone greeted.

She faced the board and wrote the topic she is gonna be teaching on it.

The teacher went back to the podium from the white board, she rolled the sheets of her jotter and sighed ready to teach.

She raised her head to start explaining the topic she had just written on the board.

Owen stood up all of a sudden because he was feeling like urinating.

“How may I help you young man?” The teacher asked when he saw Owen stood up suddenly.

“Bella, tell the teacher I wanna urinate” Owen said in sign language to Bella.

Bella eyed him and refused.

“Now he wants me to help him but he can hurl insult on me” Bella thought.

“Young man, please don’t disturb my class, but ain’t you the newly appointed Senior Prefect?” The teacher asked

Owen nodded, he was hurt that Bella didn’t speak up for him and defend him like she does, she wondered if Bella was using what is happening to him now with the teacher to take revenge on him.

“Can’t you speak, why did you like to just communicate by the use of body language often, even on the day you were suppose to give a beautiful speech as the newly appointed Senior Prefect, you refused and started pretending to be coughing . Oh! You wondering how we knew! The principal later asked the school doctor that attended to you to know what was wrong with you, but the doctor said he couldn’t find anything wrong with you” The teacher said.

Owen sighed.

"Zeus, do something please, I can not speak, I do not want anyone to know, it’s gonna be bring shame upon me ” Owen prayed to his god.

“Now listen, if you are gonna prove stubborn to me not to speak, then I’m gonna force you and trust me, when I say that.” The teacher said threateningly.

The teacher is ready to ensure that Owen speaks to her, she thought that Owen was just a stubborn spoilt boy.

A guy stood up from the back sit of the class and went to meet the teacher at the front of the class. He whispered some words to the ears of the teacher.

“Really?!” The teacher exclaimed at the whispered words of the boy that came to meet her.

The boy nodded.

The teacher shook his head pathetically.

“Did you wanna do something outside?” The teacher asked Owen.

Owen nodded.

The teacher signaled for Owen to go, Owen went to ease himself.
*************************************

After Class
The teacher had taught and gone
Owen had also returned to his class and listened to the rest of the teachings of the teacher.

After the lecture, Owen twisted his head around searching for the boy that save him from the teacher just when he was about to receive the greatest disgrace of his life.

“I’m here” the boy said.

Owen turned his head and saw the boy. The boy smiled, he has sat right behind Owen.

Owen arched his brow and went to sit beside him.

Bella felt bad that the boy helped Owen, she wanted Owen to regret the words he said to her but now, the boy has spoilt her plan.

“Thanks for saving me” Owen wrote.

The boy smiled.

“I’m Collins” The boy said in sign language.

“Oh! You can communicate in sign language?” Owen asked in sign language.

The boy nodded while smiling.

Owen was happy that he now has another person that understands sign language apart from Bella in the class.

“What did you tell the teacher that calmed her?” Owen asked in sign language.

“The truth” Collins replied.

“The truth?” Owen repeated in sign language.

Collins nodded.

“What is the truth?” Owen asked again.

“That you can not speak” Collins said.

Owen arched his brow.

“How did you know that?” Owen asked surprisingly in sign language.

“I’ve watched you many times spoke to this lady in sign language, I knew from the first time I saw you communicating with her in sign language that you can’t speak” Collins said.

“You mean Bella?” Owen asked in sign language confirming that the girl he meant was Bella.

Collins nodded.

“You informed the teacher that I’m dumb and he felt pathetic for me right?” Owen asked

“Exactly” Collins said.

Owen sighed happily and thanked Zeus in his heart for helping him as usual.
*************************************

Mary and her friends had just received the first lecture, they were revising about the teaching they had just received. During the middle of their discussion , Kitty abruptly changed the topic.

“Hey guys, who did you think will be chosen to represent our class on the debate on Friday?”

“Maybe your crush” Mary said to Kitty.

“Yeah, Feathers is good, he might be the one representing our class” Lydia added.

“Or the Labour Prefect, they are both good” Kitty said.

“But I want Feathers to represent our class” Kitty added.

“Guys, did you know what I’m thinking, imagine that Mary’s crush , Owen in class 8 versus Feathers, Kitty’s crush in class 7 were chosen to combat themselves" Lydia said.

“That will be so interesting, well, I know Feathers will win, most writers are always very brilliant” Kitty said

“What are you talking about, Owen’s gift of brilliancy is natural, it’s God’s given, who is Feathers beside Owen?” Mary said confidently believing that Owen will definitely win Feathers.

“Guys, don’t argue yet, we aren’t even sure, let’s wait and know those that are combating” Lydia said.

“Girls” Jude who had taken a quick stroll to the relaxing room to go and rehearse a stanza of their song.

He called Mary on entering the class.

Mary and her friend turned at the same time at Jude.

“Guys, have you checked the billboard?” Jude said.

“I checked it before the assembly commenced, It was only the time table and some information that are no relevant to our class that are there” Lydia said.

“The participant of the debate has being chosen and pasted on the billboard” Jude said and paused to wait for their reaction.

“Tell us about it please” Mary pleaded.

“Owen and Bella is representing Class 8 and Feathers and Mary is representing Class 7” Jude said.

Mary’s eye met with Kitty.

Mary did not really like Feathers and now he is pairing with him to combat his crush, Owen and Bella that she dislikes.

Lydia quickly thought and felt pathetic for Mary.

“Mary, you and Feathers, who is Kitty’s crush are gonna be combating with your crush, Owen and that witch called Bella, whom did you want to win?”

To be continued.

EPISODE 24

Owen japa with full speed, he had never imagined seen a ghost before, he ran towards the door and twisted the knob, little did he know that Mary had locked the door.

Owen turned and saw the ghost’s view, he bursted into a silent cry, he ran towards his cupboard, he hurriedly pulled out of lot of his father’s clothes, he buried himself under many clothes that he had pulled down. He closed his eye hoping that the ghost will not see him.

Mary bursted into an uncontrollable laughter, she covered her mouth so that the sound will not escape her mouth. She walked like a ghost to where Owen buried himself at. She squatted and touched the clothes on Owen, she pressed those clothes so that Owen could feel her hand. He continued crying and praying to Zeus to save him.

Mary kept giggling silently. She slept on the cloth that was on Owen as if Owen was a bed. Owen can not imagine a ghost sleeping on him. He lay still, it’s better for a ghost to sleep on him than for the ghost to kill him.

Funny enough, Mary slept off, due to the stress she had put herself to since she had being playing pranks on Owen, she slept deep that she started snoring.

Owen was surprised to see a ghost snoring like a human being, the sound of the snore sounds like the voice of Mary.

“Maybe the ghost want to deceive me to stand up that is why the ghost is snoring with the sound of Mary” Owen thought.

He refused to stand up. Mary who was fast asleep rolled from Owen’s body to the floor.

Again, Owen thought that the ghost probably want him to leave his hiding.

Hiding indeed, imagine someone hiding under his father’s clothes.

Mary raised her leg and landed it on Owen’s belly. Owen felt pain in his body and he was pissed off at the ghost for hitting him with her leg, especially on his belly.

Mary who was laying and fast asleep on the floor right beside Owen, she rolled on Owen again.

“This ghost must be fast asleep, I better run out” Owen thought and gently, pushed the ghost away.

He stood up and tip toped to his bed, he wanted to go out but he thinks that it is good to take a look on the ghost that came to his room and slept off so soon, he switched on the light and moved closer to the ghost, he saw the ghost’s face, it was Mary.

“What the heck?” Owen thought.

“Did she die? How did she become a ghost?” Owen thought.

Owen smiled when he realized that Mary had pretended again as a ghost.

“This Mary thinks that she is smart” Owen thought.

Even though Mary was fast asleep like a baby, Owen admired her, he noticed her sexy lips, but he dares not try to kiss her.

Owen woke her up.

Mary woke up and quickly started pretending like a ghost again but she realized that Owen wasn’t moved like before.

Owen just squatted before her looking at her.

She pressed her eye ball and groan like a ghost to scare Owen away.

Owen laughed silently.

“I wanna sleep ghost, go to your room and have some rest” Owen signalled and went to the bed, he lay and slept off.

Mary realized that Owen caught her prank, she doesn’t like how Owen get to know but there was nothing she could do. She stood up, went to her room, she lay on her bed and slept off.
***********************************

Next Morning...
Owen woke up , dress and walked out. Mary had quickly dress, she wants to ensure that she goes to school together with Owen.

Owen was surprised to see her already dressed in her school uniform, he sighed

She gazed at Owen like a kid as Owen stepped out and noticed her presence.

“Fine” Owen said in sign language.

She smiled and quickly went to her car, she stepped in, Owen did too.

Mary drove to school.
*************************************

“I was informed that Jude came to disturb you guys as usual at the court” The Labour Prefect said leaning eagerly on Feathers.

They were both standing at the corner of the class writing their time table for upcoming text.

“Yeah, true, that guy is a character” Feathers replied.

“Feathers, see...The Labour Prefect said pointing at Kitty who had just dropped her bag pack and was using her handkerchief to clean the chair.

“What about her?” Feathers asked with a grin formed on his face.

“Feathers, I’m sure you like the girl, just say the truth” The Labour Prefect teased Feathers.

Feathers giggled.

“Hi Feathers” Kitty said approaching Feathers.

“Hi” Feathers replied.

“How was your night rest?” Kitty asked like someone who cares.

“Why are you asking for his night?” Bella said from the entrance.

Kitty was surprised to see Bella in their class.

“Feathers, Hi, don’t mind her” Bella said like she is the girlfriend of Feathers.

“Hi Bella, but why shouldn’t I mind Kitty, I think she is just asking a question” Feathers said politely.

“Don’t mind her , she is a stalker, I’m sure she did not like you, she is just pretending to” Bella said and eyed Kitty.

Kitty watched Bella and wondered why Bella disliked her so much just because she likes Feathers.

“Really, so Kitty did not like me, but how did you know about that?” Feathers asked.

“I know cus I know, I just know, it’s a gift” Bella said.

“Alright, what did you want then?” Feathers asked Bella.

Bella smiled.

“Just want to ermm… Since the bell for the assembly has not been rang, can you come over to my class, I have a surprise for you” Bella said still smiling.

“I wish I can, but do you think I’ve forgotten how Vanessa and the whole class molested me just because you said Vanessa is now my servant not knowing you only deceived me” Feathers said.

“I’m sorry, It wasn’t intentional” Bella said with a pleading face.

“Sorry! After I had been molested, anyways, I ain’t interested in going to your class, I prefer to talk with Kitty than you” Feathers said.

“Why?” Bella asked.

“Sincerely, girls with big eye always have problem” Feathers said and Labour Prefect bursted into laughter, Feathers walked away, Kitty smiled and walked away.

Labour Prefect stood laughing at the savage response given by Feathers to Bella. He kept laughing till his eyes become red.

Bella squeezed her face like someone that wanted to cry and walked back to her class in a sad mood.
*************************************

Jude ensured that he came early so that he will not be asked to clean the poultry again, even though he knew that cleaning the poultry is a punishment that is just too much for coming late
But still he came early, he came around 7:42am.

Thomas and Bigger had already got to the class, they were sitting on their seats talking about how they stole the show at the basket ball court the previous day.

“Hi friends” Jude greeted.

They shook Jude one after the other.

Mary and Owen got to school, they departed to their various classes. Mary entered the class and saw only Kitty sitting, she wondered why Lydia came late, she greeted Kitty and walked towards Jude just to tease him.

“Hi Jude” Mary said and smiled.

Jude blushed cus he can’t imagine Mary smiling at him.

“Hi Mary” Jude said with a seductive voice.

That kind of voice that a boy uses when he is talking to his girlfriend on phone.

“Thanks for stealing the show at the basketball court yesterday” Mary said.

“It’s my pleasure” Jude said and Bigger and Thomas giggled.

“Naughty boy” Mary said and walked back to her seat.

Jude faced his friend suddenly.

”Mary came to play with me!” Jude said and opened his mouth wide.

“Close your mouth first, I fear that flies may enter” Thomas said.

“Jerk” Jude said and gently close his mouth.

“I told you already that Mary likes you” Thomas his adviser said and is now feeling big because Mary came to tease Jude.

“Swears, I never imagined that Mary could come to tease me” Jude said happily.

Bigger smiled, Bigger the silent one amidst them.

“Bigger you smiling, I’m so happy right now” Jude said and sat down on the locker.

“Jude , don’t be a fool” Thomas said.

“What!” Jude exclaimed.

“You still do not know how ladies behave right? She left because she is feeling shy to play with you here, she wants you to invite her to a private place to play, maybe you should just take a stroll together with her, she will like it, crack a joke, once she laugh , quickly use that opportunity to confess your love for her ” Thomas said.

Jude as usual, he didn’t give it a thought, he just smiled sheepishly and shook Thomas for a perfect advise.

Thomas smiled and felt on top of the world.

Jude walked to Mary.

“Hi Mary, would you like to take a stroll with me?” Jude said praying she says yes.

Mary stared at him.

“It will be fun, after all, he is funny” Mary thought.

Mary smiled.

“Kitty, I’m gonna be back or we meet at the assembly hall?” Mary told Kitty and Kitty nodded.

Mary followed Jude, he was extremely happy.

“I like that boy called Thomas” Jude thought thanking Thomas in his heart already for his advise that seems to be working perfectly.”

My (Mary, I like your smile, did you know that” Jude said.

Mary smiled.

They walked through the school hallway, Jude did not even know what to say.

“Joke , please come now, what joke can I crack now?” Jude thought frustratingly.

“Damn it!” Jude said unconsciously.

“Excuse me!” Mary who had been silent all this while that she had been strolling with Jude said.

Mary thought that it’s gonna be fun taking a stroll with Jude but everything was just dull.

“Sorry, that was a mistake” Jude said.

Jude finally thought of a joke.

“Mary, there was this boy, he is brilliant, one day, his teacher came to class, his teacher told him to stand up, did you believe the guy just stand up?” Owen cracked his dry joke and laugh alone.

Mary wondered what was funny.

“A teacher told a brilliant boy to stand up, he stood up, what is the big deal about that one?” Mary thought and faked a forceful smile just to make Jude’s joke look like it was funny.

Owen appeared from the other side of the hallway, he approached Jude and Mary.

Owen wasn’t scared of Jude anymore, he wanted to prove that to Jude.

When he finally got to where Jude and Mary were, he held Mary by her wrist, Mary blushed.

Owen pulled her gently like a husband pulling his wife and walked away with Mary, he even wrapped his right hand around Mary’s neck like she was his girlfriend just to let Jude feel crazy.

To be continued.

EPISODE 23

Mary and Owen had driven home
Owen and Mary both sat in the sitting room watching a movie.

“I’m feeling hungry” Owen said in sign language.

“Let me cook for you” Mary said and went inside the kitchen. She cooked for Owen, and both ate at the dinning table.

She stood up after eating to pick up the plates so she can take it back to the kitchen, she fell to the ground slowly.

Owen quickly stood up in fear, he watched Mary lay on the ground with a eye closed, he wanted to call the ambulance but he remembered that he can not speak. He thought of what he can do to save Mary, he used his finger to touch Mary’s nose, Mary wasn’t breathing.

Then he remembered what his teacher taught them.

”If you find an unconscious person, try to determine what caused the loss of consciousness. If you can’t determine what caused the loss of consciousness, call emergency medical services and give first aid for that illness or injury until they arrive. If you cannot determine what caused the loss of consciousness, give first aid for general unconsciousness and call emergency medical services if the person does not revive promptly (i.e, within a couple minutes).
Check the person’s airway, breathing, and circulation. If you do not think there is a spinal injury, put the person in the recovery position:

Position the person lying face up.
Turn the person’s face toward you.
Take the person’s arm that is closest to you, and place it to his/her side, tucking it under the buttock. And place your lips directly on the persons lips, blow air inside the person’s mouth.”

Owen remembered everything at once because he was very brilliant, he did all the processes except the last one. He knew that if his lips touched the lips of Mary, then he has automatically kissed Mary and he will even blow air into his mouth.

“What if Mary is not the right lady” He thought.

That means he will do all that for Mary, Mary will come back to life but he will never be able to speak again if Mary turns out not to be the right lady.

"What should I do now?” Owen thought.
**************************************************************************************

Mary fell down intentionally to see the reaction of Owen, nothing happened to her, she was laughing inside when she noticed Owen roll her gently to face up, she also noticed Owen placing her right hand under her buttocks, she knew that the next thing Owen will do is to blow air into her mouth and automatically kiss her, that is the moment she had been waiting for, she isn’t sure if she is the right girl, but she has never being scared of being kissed by Owen.

She suddenly started feeling like coughing

“What kind of crazy cough is this?” Mary thought.

The cough kept trying to find way out but she was swallowing it.

Owen thought that he had remained dumb for life than watch Mary die, he moved his lips closer to Mary’s lips.

Mary coughed out all of a sudden when she couldn’t take hold of the cough again, Owen’s lip was just an inch away when he heard and saw Mary coughed.

He hurriedly withdrew his head and stood up so that Mary will not think that he is caring. He watched Mary as she opened her eye gently and coughed satisfactorily.

Mary opened her eye and saw Owen standing, she knew that Owen hurriedly stand up for whatever reason is best known to him, she smiled inside and maintained a sick face, she sluggishly stood up and sullenly walked to her room.

Owen watched her leave without saying a word, he thought of either going to her room to check up on her and ask what happened to her or he rather go to his room to sleep.

He think it’s better for him to opt for the first thought, even though he did not want to prove to Mary that he is caring, a part of him still cares.

Mary knew that Owen may come to visit him, so she lay on the bed hoping that her presumption will come true.

Owen walked inside Mary’s room, he walked towards where Mary lay and tapped her gently, Mary pretended like someone asleep. Owen tapped her again, Mary opened her eye gently and maintained a face that made her look like she’s sick.

“Mary, sorry, how are you doing now?” Owen asked in sign language.

Mary sighed and stood up from the bed without replying Owen, she went to the door and lock it, she kept the key inside the pyjamas she was putting on.

Owen didn’t noticed that she had locked the door, he bowed his head when Mary left to the door from the bed, he was thinking of what could have happened to Mary, that would made her slump suddenly, he prayed in his heart that that kind of thing will never happen to Mary again.

Mary came towards her bed and lay with her eyes opened.

“I guess you need some rest, please rest and be fine” Owen said with a caring face in sign language.

He stood up and walked towards the exit, he twisted the knob of the door and he realized that the door was locked. He tried like three times and the door wasn’t giving any sign of opening, Mary had already being laughing in her heart as she watched Owen struggling with the door’s knob.

Owen turned his head to Mary and Mary quickly closed her slightly opened eye, she pretended as if she was sleeping again.

Owen walked towards her and tapped her, she opened her eye.

“The door isn’t opening, kindly get me the key” Owen said in sign language.

“I do not know where I kept it and I’m too tired to search for it” Mary said.

Owen watched her and did not even know what to say.

"Owen, why not stay here, before tomorrow morning, I will be fine, I will search for the key for you to go out” Mary said.

“I can’t sleep here, how can a male and a female sleep in the same room, what if something happened?” Owen said in sign language.

“Something like what?!” Mary asked.

“Kiss” Owen replied.

Mary smiled.

“It can’t, I won’t kiss you, you sleep on the bed and I sleep on the floor” Mary said.

“No, you aren’t feeling too fine, I will sleep on the floor, you sleep on the bed” Owen said in sign language.

Mary nodded.

Owen lay on the ground but he wasn’t sleeping.

After few minutes...
Mary came down from the bed and slept beside Owen on the ground, Owen whose eye was closed suddenly opened it and saw Mary sleeping beside him. He suddenly stood up in such a way that scared Mary.

“What are you doing?” Owen asked Mary.

“The bed is uncomfortable for me please, I prefer sleeping on the floor” Mary said.

Owen sighed, he looked towards the door and wished he can just get out of Mary’s room. He returned his gaze back at Mary when he realizes that there is no hope.

” Then I better sleep on the bed” Owen said in sign language.

Mary nodded like a kid.

Owen lay on Mary’s bed and covered himself with a duvet, but he wasn’t sleeping yet.

Mary who was laying on the floor regretted coming to the floor to meet Owen, she wants Owen and her to sleep together, she wish to sleep off on the arms of Owen, but Owen is not cooperating with her

She stood up gently and went to the bed after like an hour, she thought that Owen had slept not knowing that Owen has not slept because he is somebody that doesn’t really sleep at night, he spends most of his time at night reading.

He noticed that Mary had slept on the bed, he knew that if he goes to the floor to sleep again, Mary will still come , so he didn’t bother standing up from the bed, he just lay still hoping that Mary will not instigate anything.

Mary was happy because she thought that Owen was fast asleep, she hasn’t shower yet, her body was itching her, she stepped down from the bed and walked normally to the bathroom.

Owen opened his eye slightly and watched how Mary walked, Mary wasn’t walking like someone that was sick unlike some hours ago.

What could be happening? He watched Mary come out of the bathroom with a towel around her body and picking some wears swiftly, he closed his eye until Mary finished dressing.

Mary looked towards Owen not knowing Owen is not totally asleep yet. She jumped up happily and danced to a song in her heart She was happy that she will sleep in the same bed with Owen. She had always being imagining how it will look like.

Owen was confused, he wondered how a sick person can be jumping and dancing.

“Is she just pretending or she is now healed?” Owen though.

There is only one way to confirm, Owen pretended like someone that is just waking up from slumber.
He stretched his body and sat on the bed.

Mary suddenly realized that Owen was awake, she suddenly put on a sick face and a sad mood on her self, she walked sluggishly towards the bed and sat, she bowed her head not saying anything. She was expecting Owen to ask her how her health is.

Owen confirmed that she had only being pretending, Owen knew now that she intentionally kept the key.

Trust Owen...he suddenly start to shake too, he was shaking like someone that would convulse.

It’s Mary’s turn now!
Mary suddenly brightened her face and attended to Owen who was shaking.

“Owen what happened please?” Mary asked with her soft and caring voice.

Owen kept on shaking.

“What do I do now?” Mary asked almost crying.

“Help me to my room, there is a drug I always use there, I need to take it now or I may…” Owen said sluggishly in sign language.

“Don’t say it, I’m scared, I will help you to your room” Mary interrupted.

Mary helped Owen up and helped him to the door, Owen opened a corner of his eye to watch where Mary will get the key from.

Mary just dipped her hand in her pocket and brought out the key, she opened the door.

“Oh, nice one” Owen thought and still pretended like someone that is sick.

Mary helped Owen to his room, he wanted to help Owen to lay on the bed but Owen suddenly stood up, he pushed her to the bed, and lay on her.

“Is this what you want?” Owen asked in sign language.

Mary shook her head in fear and wondered how Owen suddenly regained strength.

Owen suddenly stood from her and ran towards the entrance, he removed the key and took two steps out, he brought his head in and saw Mary watching him surprisingly.

“You thought you can pretend, I’m locking you in that room till tomorrow, have fun!” Owen said and closed the door, he locked Mary inside his room.

He went to his dad’s room to sleep.
Mary realized that Owen had caught her pretending skill.

Trust Mary...she wouldn’t give up.
She walked towards the door, it was locked, she searched around, she searched every hook and crannies of Owen’s room for almost two hours till she find the spare key in one of Owen’s trouser, in Owen’s pocket.

Owen left his dad’s room door opened, after all, he wasn’t expecting anyone.

Mary opened the door with the key and she smiled to herself. She quickly thought of what to do to take revenge on Owen.

“Good” an idea came through.
Mary remembered the horror films she used to watch, how ghost put on white cloth from head to toe.

Mary went to her room and put on a long white pyjamas, he used a white bed sheet to form a cape on her head to her neck. Like the kind of cape that Muslim girls put on, only her face was left opened. She took her powder and poured on her face the white powder, she checked herself in a mirror and she looked exactly like a ghost.

Now, she has to walk in a way that ghost walks for her plan to work
She thought of where Owen could be , she checked Bennett’s room, Owen wasn’t there, she checked his mother’s room, Owen wasn’t there, she checked his dad’s room, she found Owen lay on the bed.

“Good” she thought.

She walked like a ghost towards Owen and tapped Owen gently
Owen woke and saw a ghost, he...

Complete the sentence. �

To be continued.

EPISODE 22

Mary couldn’t continue chewing, she paused the fries in her mouth, she bowed her head, she disliked Jude for acting this way, now Owen will start thinking he is dating Jude for real, not knowing that her heart does not belong to Jude and she is only trying to play along with Jude so he won’t feel insulted again.

Owen watched and maintained his frowned face, a feeling of jealousy arose inside of him, he can’t place why he is jealous, he is not sure if he is having any feelings for Mary or not, but standing and watching Jude fed Mary right in his presence provoke him to jealousy. He walked away and went to take a seat elsewhere, he ordered for food, ate and left for his class.
*************************************

Break time....Same day
Bella was still finding it hard to believe that Owen can insult her, she has been depressed for hours in school, she wasn’t even concentrating to the previous teachings.

After she watched Owen left, she closed her book, stood up and walked outside.

She had been missing Feathers so much, even though she knew that even if Feathers sees her, he might still insult her, but she doesn’t care, she still has to go and visit Feathers.

She entered Feathers class and went to his seat, Feathers saw her and smiled. He stretched his hand to shake her.

Bella wondered if she was only dreaming or it’s really a reality, she lowered her head gently and saw Feathers and outstretched hand, she reluctantly received the handshake.

She was still surprised.

“Hi Bella” Feathers said and smiled.

“Hi” Bella replied.

Feathers withdrew his hand and stared at Bella, the kind of look that tells Bella that he is listening to what she came to his class to do.
Bella recovered from the sudden change of behaviour of Feathers.

“Feathers, I’m thinking if we can go out together” Bella said.

“Really, I’m a bit busy now” Feathers replied.

“Busy, doing what?” Bella asked Feathers because she expected that every students should be free by break time, she wondered why Feathers would be always busy.

“Remember I’m a writer, I only have the chance to type an episode in school by break time or when I got home and that is after I had finished my assignment” Feathers said.

Bella nodded.

“Where do you live?” Bella asked Feathers.

“Why asking please?” Feathers replied politely.

“I just wanna know, maybe I can follow you home one of this days” Bella said.

“God forbid! What?! Follow me home, I dislike ladies, I dislike a lady and I being alone” Feathers said angrily remembering the day he saw his mother stabbing his father.

He remembered how his mom and fad had taken him to different places to have fun when he was 6 years, even at 7 years, he had watched his parents kiss and hug right in his presence, he had wished that someday, he will have his wife too and he will be able to kiss and hug his wife.

He wanted that kind of life his parents were living, until he clocked 8 years, they had a misunderstanding and it led to a domestic violence, he was right there when his mom and dad were fighting, the fighting between them became brutal that they ended up killing themselves right before young Feathers. Since then, love has never been found in his dictionary.

Bella was shocked at Feathers sudden outburst. Feathers concentrated on his laptop and continued typing his story.

“Feathers, I’m sorry about that” Bella said.

Feathers who was still angry refused to reply.

“Alright, I guess I have to start going” Bella said and took some steps away.

“Bella” Feathers called
Bella turned.

“Charlie said there is a basketball training today, you can come, inform Owen as well” Feathers said.

Bella nodded and took some steps towards the entrance of the class, he met with Mary, Kitty and Lydia who were just coming from the cafeteria. They ignored her and went to their seats.

“Those b*tches can not even greet” she thought angrily and turned.

She saw Mary and Lydia sat, while Kitty went to Feathers.

She wondered what Kitty had to do with Feathers.

Kitty brought a French pie for Feathers. She tapped Feathers gently, Feathers turned at her and saw a beautiful Kitty, slim but beautiful, her skin were as soft as wool, her eyes as white as snow , her eye ball as dark as charcoal, the shape of her face interest Feathers and there is this feeling of peace that Feathers felt anytime she is around him.

“I b6ought you this” Kitty said and showed the French pie to Feathers.

Feathers smile widened, he collected the French pie from kitty and ate it. Kitty was happy that Feathers collected the French pie she bought for him and also ate it in her presence.

Bella who was watching became jealous, she disliked Kitty for buying snacks for Feathers, she assumed that Feathers must like French pie and that if any ladies buy it for him, he will surely collect it and eat it.

She jogged downstairs and went to the cafeteria, she hurriedly ordered for five French pies, she was given and she paid. She jogged immediately to Feathers class hoping that Feathers will gladly accept the fries that she bought for him and smile at her like he did for Kitty.

She entered Feathers class and presented the French pies to Feathers. Feathers who had already been satisfied with the French pie he ate from Kitty, he looked up at Bella and wondered with a serious look on his face why Bella went to buy French pies for him
“Bella, I ain’t gonna eat these, I’m satisfied” Feathers said politely,
Bella felt rejected.

“You can throw it away” Bella said and dropped the fries on Feathers locker, she walked away.
Her eyes met with Kitty’s happy eyes.

Kitty was jealous when she saw Bella presenting French pies to Feathers, she became happy when he saw that Feathers never collect it nor ate it.

Bella walked away and Kitty smiled.
*************************************

Charlie met Bella on her way to the class at the staircase.

“Bella” he greeted.

Bella nodded not wanting to look at his face.

“Bella, is anything wrong?” Charlie asked.

Bella shook her head.

“Can we take a stroll together or we go and take lunch together?” Charlie suggested.

Bella shook her head.

“Bella, please, how about going to the game room to have fun?” Charlie suggested again not ready to give up.

Bella shook her head, Bella wasn’t in a good mood and Charlie would not understand.

Charlie sighed frustratingly.

“Okay, have you being informed that there is basketball training today?” Charlie asked.

Bella nodded.

“Are you gonna come?” Charlie asked and Bella nodded.

Charlie was happy that he is gonna see Bella again that day.

“See you “Charlie said and walked away.

Bella sighed faintly, still in a bad mood, she went to her class.
*************************************

Basketball Court
Everyone lined up listening to Charlie, the head of the basketball team, Feathers was standing beside him because he is good at basketball. Charlie appointed him as his assistant.

While Charlie was addressing the team, some guys started coming towards where they are.

Charlie saw them and sighed
”Feathers, this people are here again” Charlie said to Feathers.

Feathers stretched his neck and saw the folks that Charlie saw.

Like anyone would guess, It was Jude, Thomas and Bigger.

Jude Thomas and Bigger approached them.

“Hey Charlie” Jude said.

The whole basketball team who were standing horizontally in a well arranged line turned their head and saw Jude and his friends.

They all sighed because they thought he had come to disturb them again.

“Hey you, what did you want this time?” Feathers asked.

“None of your business man, I am speaking to Charlie here, Charlie! I and my friend wanna join this team” Jude said and smiled.

Looking at Charlie’s face, the kind of look he is giving Charlie is that one that implies that If Charlie declines his request, he will disturb their training.

Charlie sighed and looked at Feathers. Feathers looked at Charlie and respond for Charlie.

“Hey, Jude, we don’t need members for now, maybe next time” Feathers said.

“Let him in” Owen said in sign language.

Everyone stared at Owen, even though it was only Bella, Charlie and Mary that understood the sign language that Owen spoke with, the rest just wondered what he meant.

“Owen, this guy is a disturbance, we can’t, he probably came to join because of Mary” Charlie said facing Owen.

Mary left the line and went to meet Jude.

“Jude, I know you don’t like playing basketball, all you know how to do is to sing , don’t come and disturb us here please” Mary said softly.

Jude respected Mary and turned his face from a proud and adamant face to that of a kid and gentle face.

“Mary, I like to see you always, I do not know why, I just want you around me always, my heart is hurting because she that I love can not understand my feelings, my heart beats faster anytime I see her, I tried to stop loving, but I realize that my like for you is beyond me , I can’t stop liking you, it’s like a spell, I can’t explain, when I’m alone at home, your thought fills my mind, I kept imagining what our future be like, I kept imagining how it be if you start liking me” Jude said softly and paused.

Mary’s heart beat gently against the wall of her heart. She stares into Jude’s eye and she saw innocence and trust, she knows Jude is someone she can trust, Jude truly loves her, then she checked her heart, her heart isn’t connected to that of Jude, even though he is very handsome with curly hair, fresh face and beautiful body structure, she just doesn’t have this feeling of love to Jude.

She hasn’t given Jude a reply yet when Feathers interrupted.

“Mary, are you gonna join the team or you wanna keep discuss with him?” Feathers said like a boss as he approached Jude and Mary.

Mary didn’t even know what to say to reply Jude, she obeyed Feathers sarcastic command and went to join the line of the basket ball team.

Jude stayed there hurt.

Feathers looked at him with contempt and went back to the line. Jude dislike what Feathers did.

“Why will he tell Mary to leave him when it is obvious that his words touch Mary and Mary is about to say something positive, what is always with this Feathers?” Jude thought painfully.

He watched Feathers throwing the ball at the lined team one by one, they had commenced their basketball practice

Jude was angry that they all ignored him as if he does not even exist. He went to meet Thomas and Bigger where they stood waiting for him.

“Thomas, can you believe I was ignored like a piece of crab” Jude said.

His friends looked at him wondering what he waned them to say.

“What can I do to disturb them?” Jude asked.

His adviser, Thomas, came out with another suggestion again as usual.

”Let us create a scene like we always do, let us create a scene here, let’s perform the song we rehearsed three days ago, that song about Bleeding Heart” Thomas suggested.

Jude smiled and nodded.

Thomas brought out his guitar and Bigger brought out his Mouth Organ. They arranged themselves very well. Jude held his invisble microphone and stayed at the front, Bigger stood behind him at the left with his Mouth Organ placed on his lips with his right hand.

Thomas held his girlfriend, the guitar, and stayed behind Jude by the right with his guitar hung around his neck and his two hands placed on it ready to play: Take me somewhere. Somewhere far away.

���You and I...
Just I and you...
Pa ran rannnnn...
Aaaaaa...

I will cry because I miss you
Please don’t got away...
Take me somewhere we can be alone...
You be the prince and I will be the princess...
Baby, just say yes...
Pa ran ran...
O o o o...
We were both young...
When I first saw you...
I closed my eye...
Flashback started there...
I’m standing there...
See you make your way through the crowd...
And said hello...
I gat to tell you I’m waiting...
Wondering if you ever come around...
My heart bleeds for you...
Oooooooooooo...
Wen I met you on the outskirt of town...
My heart bleeds...
I wish you come for me...
But you never come me...��

Chorus:
�I love you
And that’s all I even know
Just say Yes
Pa ran ran.�

Everyone was hearing the sweet melody, one by one, all the spectators watching the basket ball concentrated their attention on Jude and his crew. Charlie did not know when he stared shaking his head to the sweet melody of Jude and his crew’s voice.

Feathers and the whole of the basketball team stopped what they were doing and started dancing at the sweet melody.

Come and see how Feathers was dancing, see Owen dancing too...chai! See how Mary sef is dancing, see Bella too.

Basketball court turned to dancing field.
*************************************

Jude was happy that he has stolen the scene again as usual, he watched everyone dance, he can’t imagine Owen dancing. Jude did not know when he bursted into laugher because of the way Owen danced.

“I do not think this guy has ever dance, what a ugly dance?” Jude thought.

Jude was happy for disturbing them, after he laughed, he stopped singing, he signaled for Thomas and Bigger to stop playing their instruments. He stared at the people who were dancing at his song, now they have stopped dancing because he had stopped singing. The signal coming from their face is telling Jude to continue singing so they can keep dancing. He watched Feathers stood probably waiting for him to continue signing. He surprised all of them when he signaled to his friends that they should leave the basketball court.

Everyone stared at Jude and his friends regretfully as they walked away, many of those dancing and watching Jude performed wished that he continues the song he was singing.

Charlie shook his head when it dawn on him that Jude has finally succeeded in disturbing them again. He told Feathers to continue the training of the basketball team
Feathers obliged and called the team members to come together for the training.
*************************************

After they had finished the basketball training, Mary went to meet Owen and asked if they can start going home, Owen nodded.
Owen who was sitting and unbuckling his basketball boot finished what he was doing and stood up, he followed Mary to her car.

Bella watched Owen going with Mary, she noticed that Feathers had gone inside the basketball hut to probably take his bath.

Yeah, Feathers went to the hut to take his bath, he hates going home with sweat all over his body, some team members prefer to bath at home, everyone sweats during the course of the training, so the basketball team had created a hut that looks like a small building where everyone can bath and change.

Bella thought of either following Owen and Mary to where they stay or wait for Feathers, she realized that she will always see Feathers, but she has to know where Owen and Mary stays first.

Mary stepped inside her car, Bella entered hers, she waited for them to drive away before she does.

Bella started to trace them from behind. After fifteen minutes, Owen noticed through the front mirror that someone is tracing them, he knew that if he speak to Mary in sign language, Mary will have to look at him before she understands , and that may make her loose focus from her driving.
He searched around for a paper and a pen but he couldn’t find one, he pulled his bag, unzipped the last purse and brought out a pen, he tore a sheet of paper from one of his book as well.

“Mary, someone is following us” Owen wrote and showed it to Mary.

Mary glanced at it and once and focus on her driving.

“Who could that be? ” Mary asked turning swiftly her head to Owen occasionally.

“I don’t know yet, but I’m so sure someone is following us” Owen wrote and showed it to Mary.

“What do I do now?” Mary asked.

“Drive to an hotel, the nearest one” Owen wrote.

“An hotel?!” Mary asked and arced her brow.

“Do as I’ve said” Owen wrote.

She read it and nodded, she drove a little further, she sighted a nearest hotel and drove in, she parked at the hotel garage.

“Good of you, don’t step down yet , if the car tracing us enters this hotel, then we will know someone is truly following us, just don’t step down from the car yet” Owen scribbled.

Mary read it and nodded.

Bella saw Mary drove inside the hotel, he wondered why they had gone to the hotel.

“They can’t be living in the hotel” she thought confusingly.

Nevertheless, she drove in and parked in a distance away from their car.

“Step down and check out the person in the car, the car has just parked” Owen wrote.

Mary nodded, after all, it’s not yet dark, she isn’t scared that anything may happen to her, and she trust Owen who told her to check out who the person is. She went straight to the car, it has tinted glass, Mary couldn’t see who was inside but Bella saw Mary.

Bella reasoned at once that they must have seen her car, that was why they decided to come to the hotel, she hope Mary and Owen did not know she is the one, she reversed and drove home.

Mary stood wondering who the hell was tracing them, she sighed and went back to her car.

“The person drove off” Mary said to Owen.

“Good, now drive home” Owen said in sign language.

Mary nodded like a servant obeying the commandment of his boss and drove home.

Bella drove home sad, she wasn’t able to see Feathers neither was she able to know where Mary and Owen stays.

She entered her house, dropped her bagpack on the chair, she went to the refrigerator to pick a chocolate to drink. Sank on the chair and sighed, she closed her eyes, things were not going her way, it seems Feathers is liking Kitty, she hasn’t being able to kiss Owen yet, her heart was heavy, she felt bad.

Lennox entered and saw Bella drinking chocolate with eyes closed.

“Bella” he called.

Bella opened her eye, she saw her father and closed it again.

“What’s wrong?” Her father asked and sat on a chair opposite her.

She opened her eye and sat very well.

“Dad, I’m failing my mission, it’s getting harder than I thought, I can’t even use my powers the way I like” Bella said.

“Bella, don’t feel bad, Unknown has extended the days he gave you to kiss Feathers, take your time, I believe you will kiss him before he kisses the right lady” Lennox said.

“Dad, who is the right lady?” Bella asked.

“Even I did not know, the face of the person was not revealed, but if Owen kisses the right lady, I will definitely know” Lennox said.

“Could the right lady be Mary?” Bella asked.

“I ain’t sure, just ensure you kiss Owen as soon as possible” Lennox said.

Bella sighed.

“Can’t I make use of any of my abilities?” Bella asked.

“Not yet dear” Lennox said.

Bella carried her bag pack like a tired somebody and dragged it to her room, she took a shower and slept off.

To be continued.

EPISODE 21

"Jude” Mary called and paused.

“Mary, I know you like me, stop hurting me please, you and I know that I like you” Jude said.

Mary sighed.

“Jude, to be frank, I don’t like this, why would you bring me here to ask that kind of question” Mary said.

“I’m sorry, I just need to know” Jude said.

“What did you want to know?” Mary asked.

Jude sighed.

“The truth is hard to bear, Jude, I do not love you” Mary said and walked away.

Jude felt like someone whose heart was stabbed. He regretted what his friends told him to do.

“Maybe I shouldn’t have done that” Jude thought.

He thought of how he is gonna be feeling if he sees Mary, he better start trying to avoid Mary, he felt rejected.

“But can I ever stop loving Mary, she seems to be a part of me, I love this girl, I know that” Jude thought as he walked to his class.
*************************************

The Labour Prefect heard the rumour that his friend, Captain Feathers had been detained at the poultry, it pisses him off, he felt bad for Feathers, he waited till break time, then he went to the Principal’s office. He pleaded with the principal that the he should kindly release Feathers.

The principal insisted at first, but when he realizes the adamancy in the Labour Prefect's voice,

He was not ready to leave the principal’s office unless the principal agrees to release Feathers.

The principal gave up and considered the plead of perfect, he handed over the keys to the farm over to him. The Labour Prefect collected it happily, thanked the principal and ran to the farm
He opened the gate and saw Feathers facing the North.

Feathers was backing the Labour Prefect.

The Labour Prefect wondered why his friend was standing and facing the wall.

Feathers didn’t even notice that he had come, what is he doing that made him this serious.

“Feathers” He called.

Feathers turned to him with his phone in his hand.

“What are you doing?” The prefect asked in surprised.

Feathers maintained his frowned face.

“Typing stories of course, I must drop the next episode today, after all, they had met the requirement” Feathers said.

“Alright, I’ve pleaded with the principal and he has handed over the key to the poultry to me, I’m sorry that you stayed here for few hours” The Labour Prefect said and unlock the door to the poultry.

Feathers walked out and kept his phone inside his pocket.

“Are you done typing the episode?” The labour prefect asked Feathers when he wasn’t saying anything not even a thank you.

“Almost, gonna post soon” Feathers said.

The Labour Prefect nodded, he locked the doors to the farm and they both went to the class.

Feathers felt bad because as a class captain, he had never thought he can be humiliated in such a way. He can’t imagine himself being inside that farm for almost four hours.

Just as he was about to enter the class, he saw Kitty and her friends walking outside, they are gonna be meeting at the very entrance.

He waited outside with the Labour Prefect for them to pass, he was in a very bad mood.

Kitty saw Feathers standing outside with the Labour Prefect, his very good friend.

“Hi Feathers” Kitty greeted.

Feathers stared at her and hoped that she knows where he is coming from.

“Must you greet him, he is just a proud peacock” Mary said to Kitty but Feathers heard.

Feathers said and arched his brow.

“Am I proud?” He asked Mary innocently.

“Oh, you do not know, you treat ladies with contempt, I wonder how you treat your family members” Mary said

“Oh! I do not think I have ever done anything wrong to you, why did you keep hurling insult on me ” Feathers said.

“You have done that for my friend, so, whatever you did for her, you did to us” Mary said.

She was trying to provoke Feathers to anger, but Feathers isn’t moved by her words.

“What do you want from me?” Feathers asked.

“Apologize to our friend” Mary said.

“Kitty, I’m sorry” Feathers said and moved closer to Kitty, Kitty bowed her head , Kitty can’t imagine Feathers behaving this way.

Feathers held her two shoulders and hugged her.

Kitty knew at once that it was a dream, she closed her eyes for ages, she opened it and still saw Feathers hugging her.

Feathers disengaged slightly and kissed Kitty at his forehead, Kitty can’t raise her head up to see Feathers because she was shy.

“This is not happening” she thought
Feathers felt a kinda peace around Kitty that he had felt since he lost his parents.

Feathers lost his parent at the age of 8, they both fought and killed themselves. Feathers wondered how a couple that once loved themselves killed themselves in cold blood

It made him believe that love does not exist, he vows never to date or marry any lady till he die, he hates anything love.

But the words of Mary touched the soft part of him instead of making him angry. He realizes that he might be proud truly and he had to apologize to Kitty.

He used his right fingers to raise kitty’s head up.

“Kitty, I’m sorry” Feathers said and Kitty was still finding it hard to believe what she was hearing from Feathers.

“I do not know how it feels like to like a lady, I do not know what love is, I had being dead to love since my presents die , can you teach me to love?” Feathers asked sadly.

Kitty’s lips parted when she heard the last word of Feathers.

Kitty nodded slightly.

Kitty felt pathetic on Feathers and hugged him tight.

Mary shook her head, she never imagined that Feathers can be this soft at heart.

“Where are you guys going now?” Feathers asked Mary after slightly disengaging with Kitty.

Mary who was still recovering from how Feathers had just behaved came back to her sense and was searching for the right answer to Feathers question.

“We are heading to the cafeteria” Lydia helped Mary answer the question.

“I would have love to follow you guys, but I had been standing for hours, maybe next time” Feathers said and Mary and her friends nodded.

They watched Feathers and the Labour Prefect entered the class.
************************************

Break time...
Owen stood up and walked out of the class, ever since he abused Bella, she had been behaving coldly and ignoring him, even though Owen felt bad for what he had done to Bella, he felt there was nothing he could do, may be he will apologize to her in the future when she is ready to listen to his apology.

Owen was feeling hungry, unlike before when his mom used to cook and prepare breakfast for him to eat at home before he leaves to school. He has to start depending on the school cafeteria to eat till his mom return.

Owen walked to the same cafeteria that Mary went
*************************************

Thomas who is always giving Jude false encouragement has told Jude not to give up on Mary, he told Jude that he overheard Mary and her friends going to the cafeteria, he advised Jude to join them at the cafeteria and sit with them and foot the bill, he told Jude that it will make Mary and her friends respect him.

He told Jude that when a guy foots the bill of a girl at a cafeteria, the girl always like them.

Jude who always believed his Thomas, his adviser without thinking twice or meditating on what he heard to know if it is good or not.

Jude suddenly became happy on hearing the advise of Thomas. He told his friends to follow him, but that they should stay outside the cafeteria while he goes in to sit with the girls and foot the bill.
Thomas , Bigger and Jude walked to the cafeteria.
*************************************

Jude got there before Owen, he searched around with his eye and found where Mary and her friends sat.

It was a four seater surrounding a table, Mary, Kitty and Lydia occupied a three seats, Jude was happy that he can sit on the fourth one.

He walked towards where Mary and her friends were while Thomas and Bigger hanged outside the cafeteria.

“Hi girls” He greeted on getting to where they sat.

The girls were surprised to see him.

He was scared that they might tell him to leave, he didn’t wait for them to tell him to sit, he sat on the fourth chair and smiled.

“Sorry, have you guys ordered for food” Jude asked.

The girls kept staring at him.

“No” Mary replied.

Jude signaled to one of the attendant and the attendant attended to Mary and her friends.

Mary was feeling uncomfortable because of the presence of Jude but she didn’t want to insult Jude again, she had to play nice.

Mary ordered for their favourite's food and in a jiffy, the attendant brought a plate of the food they ordered forJude’s own included , he ordered the same thing they ordered for.

Jude foot the bill has planned.
They kept eating, Jude didn’t like how everywhere was silent, he didn’t want to break it either.

He use the cutlery to pick a fries and called Mary, Mary looked up, he requested to feed Mary with the fries he picked from his food.

Mary felt like telling him no, but since it’s just this once, she decided that when she gets to class, she will warn him not to do what he did again by coming to disturb their peace at the cafeteria.

Mary faked a smile and opened her mouth.

Owen who had being watching Jude eating with Mary and her friends walked towards them but they didn’t notice him until Mary opened her mouth and received the fries from Jude as if Jude was her boyfriend,,her eyes met with Owen immediately the fries landed in her mouth.

To be continued.

EPISODE 20

Bella had told Lennox that it seems Owen trust her and that Owen is gonna do everything that he virtually orders. Lennox followed Bella to school, he waited for Bella to inform Owen that he is around.

Bella went to class, he informed Owen that Lennox wants to see him and Owen obliged.

Owen and Bella met with Lennox at the school garage where Lennox car was parked.

“Owen , how are you?” Lennox greeted.

“I’m fine” Owen said in sign language but Lennox do not understand sign language.

He understands that Owen was probably speaking in sign language, he faced Bella for interpretation.

“He said he is fine” Bella interpreted what Owen communicated.

“I guess I have to start learning sign language” Lennox said and laughed, Bella faked a smile at her father’s boring joke, whereas, Owen maintained a straight face, he wasn’t laughing.

“Erm…Owen, I’m just gonna go straight to the point, Bella is the right lady for you, and if you will like to kiss early, I suggest you have to kiss her quick” Lennox said.

Owen nodded.

“Are you gonna kiss Bella today so you can speak?” Lennox asked.

Owen nodded.

“Good boy” Lennox said with a smiling face and stepped inside his car, he waved at Bella maintaining his smiling face and drove off.

Bella turned to Owen.

Owen turned his head to Bella, returned it and went inside the class without saying a word to Bella.

Bella wondered why Owen was behaving cold, it’s quiet unusual of him. She watched Owen walked to the class and she followed him behind.
*************************************

“Ha ha ha!” The Labour Prefect laughed.

Feathers smirked.

“You mean the fool is enjoying his day with the hens now?” Labour prefect asked sarcastically.

Feathers nodded as he sat with the Labour Prefect inside the class waiting for the teacher of the first period.

“That’s a great lesson for him” Labour prefect said and laughed, he brought out a novel and showed it to Feathers.

“Have you read this” He asked.

“No, you know I don’t read novels” Feathers said.

“Hey!” Thomas said as he and Bigger walked towards Feathers.

Feathers turned his head and looked at them.

“Where is Jude?” Thomas asked.

“When did I become his brother, why asking me?” Feathers questioned.

“We were there when the Punctuality Prefect told him to go and clean the poultry just for coming late, we waited in class to see if he will join us or not, but he didn’t, we finally went to the poultry to check him, it was locked, and we were told by the woman who sells fruit beside the farm that you were the one that came out last from the farm” Thomas explained.

“So?” Feathers said.

“So” Thomas repeated and giggled, he turned to Bigger, Bigger looked at him and they both turned their head back to Feathers.

“I advise you to give us the key to the farm now or you give us the hard way” Thomas threatened.

“Seriously! The hard way, you wanna fight me or what?” Feathers said not ready to give up the key to the farm. He wants to ensure that Jude to spends a whole day there.

Thomas and Bigger walked out of the class.

“Feathers, what do you do, seems they are guessing already that you lock Jude inside” Labour Prefect said.

“And so?” Feathers replied.

Labour Prefect who knew feathers to be adamant especially when he has made a decision, he sighed and opened the novel he show Feathers some minutes ago and started reading it.
*************************************
After 15 minutes...
The principal came inside the class with Thomas and Bigger.

“Feathers!” He called.

He suddenly heard the principal called his name. He closed his laptop at once and looked up to the principal who had walked to the front of the class. The principal recognized him.

“Come out!” The principal commanded Feathers.

He came out.

“Where is the key to the poultry farm?”

Feathers blinked his eye and went to his bag, he unzipped it and handed over the key to the principal.

“Follow me ” the principal said.

Thomas and Bigger went to report to the principal after they Left Feathers.

Feathers, Thomas and Bigger followed the principal behind. They all got to the farm, the principal unlock the key and entered.

He saw Jude who was already sitting at a corner hugging his knees and bowing his head.

“Jude” the principal called.

Jude rose his head. He stood up and came closer to where they are, the principal opened the door of the poultry and he came out.

“This is not happening” The principal said in a surprising manner as he wondered how Feathers can be this cruel.

“How about you entering and staying there till night” The principal said.

Feathers nodded with a pleading face.

Jude walked towards his friend and they were happy to see him.

“Now, enter this poultry!” The principal commanded Feathers.

“Please sir, please” Feathers pleaded.

“I won’t say that again” The principal said sternly.

Feathers walked inside the farm as he kept staring at the principal with a pleading face maybe the principal would change his mind.

The principal saw him entered, he closed the door on him and locked it. He went out of the poultry with Jude, Thomas and Bigger and he locked the main gate to the farm.

“Sorry Jude, Feathers will learn his lesson” The principal told Jude and his friends.

“Thanks sir” Jude and his friends said gratefully.

They departed.
*************************************

Owen sat in his class thinking of how to be careful with Mary especially now that they are the only one living at home.

“Owen, why are you behaving coldly, I mean, you did not seem happy, is anything wrong?” Bella asked.

Owen nodded.

“Tell me about it” Mary requested.

"Lennox said you are the right lady, but am I not suppose to have some sort of feelings for you for me to know that you are the right lady, I’m scared and confused” Owen said in sign language.

“Don’t be, trust me, you may not have a feeling for me now but you will defiantly have one for me in the future” Bella said.

“I hope so” Owen replied in sign language.

“Since the lecturer is yet to come, we can kiss right here, no one will know” Bella said.

Owen sighed.

“Bella, I prefer being dumb than kissing you, I need to have some sort of feelings for you first, how can I kiss someone that I did not love, more so, I do not like your big eyes” Owen said to Bella in sign language.

Bella’s mouth dropped, she couldn’t close it, she can’t believe Owen just abused her with her eyes.

Tears rolled on her face and she placed her head on the locker.

Owen turned to her and noticed she felt bad.

“I shouldn’t have said that” Owen thought and regretted what he said. He wanted to touch Bella on her shoulder but he withdrew his hand, he was scared that Bella may insult him.

“I’m sorry Bella” He said in his heart and set his gaze at the book in front of him.

Thomas and Bigger had advised Jude never to give up on Mary, they told him that ladies like men that are persistently disturbing them, they gave him false believe that Mary liked him but she didn’t know how to confess it. They advise him to stop asking Mary if she likes him or not, he should just go and meet her and ask her to look inside his face and tell him that she did not like him. They told him that Mary will never be able to do that because she truly loves Jude.

Jude decided to obey them and went to meet Mary, he invited Mary to the rest room before the lecture could even start. Mary wondered why Jude would want to speak to her privately, but she trusted Jude.

She informed her friends before she left for class to the relaxing room.

Jude stood directly opposite Mary
His heart beats heavily against the walls of his heart, he stared at Mary’s beautiful face.

Mary kept wondering what he is about to stay.

“Mary, the truth is I like you” Jude said and paused.

“I know” Mary replied bluntly.

“Mary” Jude said silently.

“Tell me you did not love me and I will stop disturbing you” Jude said frankly.

To be continued.
