Devi, Harry, Mich and I went out together before dawn for hunting after I made them promise me to take me along with them on their next hunting trip.We left Amelia in the hut sleeping and after a quick breakfast I managed to fix for everyone, we were soon on our way. I was having the fun of my life trying to hunt, I was making a mess of everything and I was having fun at it. “Jasmine please could you possibly sit down for a while you are scaring the games away” Devin whined “Do you not think I could hunt us a very good game for dinner? Amelia would be so proud of me” I boasted playfullyI finally stopped disturbing them and allowed them hunt without distractions. After the hunting, the men rounded up the hunting equipment for our trip back home.“I am so famished I could finish a whole deer” harry said when we had almost reached the hut“What is that smoke I see afar. What could Amelia be burning that could bring that large smoke” Devin asked with concern in his voiceWe could see
As we set up for the journey ahead, I was filled with different emotions, I felt sad that the once happy family I thought I had with Amelia and the rest was messed with, I felt very bitter and full of spite for whoever it was that killed Amelia and put a dent on our once happy family. I was also anxious and apprehensive about what lies ahead and unsure of what I’ll encounter going forward. “I think we are ready to move” I announced bringing everyone out of their reverie “Which way do we go” Devin asked me“I think we should head south” I decided.Everyone took one long look at what was once our home and we headed south with me leading the way, Mich was directly behind me, Harry was next and Devin was the last on the trail.I’m going to make sure I keep everyone safe, that’s what Amelia would have wanted.“We’ve been walking for a long time; Jasmine do you think we could take a break and probably find something to eat”? Harry asked wearily already slowing down.“Harry is right Jas;
The next morning came and I introduced Carissa to the rest of the pack with a brief summary of how we found her and immediately, Rosetta moved to Carissa’s side and started muttering something I couldn’t hear excitedly in her ears, at first Carissa was slow to respond but she slowly warmed up to her.Devin greeted her warmly with a hug and Harry followed suit with sleep in his eyes. “Devin and Harry, you guys should start sleeping less, Carissa was screaming loudly last night and you didn’t flinch” I scolded gently. As Mich scolded Harry and Devin, they had their heads bowed solemnly,“That’s true, what if Jasmine and I weren’t around, what would have happened” Mich agreed with me“We’re sorry Jasmine, Mich we promise to start sleeping less and be more alert” Devin promised“Okay guys, that’s fine. Let’s hurry up, get a wash and be on our way” I said packing up the sleeping bag I laid on for the nightThere was a lake nearby where we setup and all went to have a quick wash We took
After four days of mindless journeying, we came to a large clearing and immediately I fell in love with the space, we are definitely setting base here. It just feels right.As I glanced around, a cool breeze blew across my face and whispered serenity in my ears.I smiled with contentment, apparently Mich and the guys thought of the same thing as they shared a look“I think we’ve come to the end of our journey as we’ll be setting base here” I announced and shouts and cheers erupted from everyone . I smiled as I sat down on a tree stump to stretch my legs. I silently watched as everyone laughed and related as family.“We can rest today, when it’s tomorrow we start building. We’ll be needing several building woods, raffia palms, firm bricks and other building materials”.I said while gaining the attention of the rest.“Devin, Harry and I will be in charge of clearing this space, sourcing for the building woods and also setting it up. I believe you ladies can handle the rest” Mich cont
“Tomorrow, we begin our revenge mission. And we are going from pack to pack destroying them all” I announced with rage seeping through my voice.“I suggest we call ourselves The Grim Reapers, for we are claiming the soul of the evil perpetrators and bringing balance to the world” Mich supported.“Which pack do we begin with” Eloha asks “We begin a journey following the route we came through; we start killing and destroying any and every pack we come across”.“What about weapons” Devin who has been quite asked “I suggest we all polish our swords and also carry a good number of poisoned arrows we prepared some days ago” Mich responded.“In that case, we need to go to bed now so we can rise early tomorrow to begin the journey” I announcedWe bade one another goodnight and went to lay down but I could tell no one was sleeping as we all anticipated the mission ahead of us.Dawn came and the ladies were the first to go to the nearby lake to take a wash and fill up some water for the jour
The next mission went as planned, the villagers were caught unaware and by the time they wanted to fight back,It was already late and their village was up in flames with the then Beta who betrayed Rozim’s father to become the Alphanowhere to be found but the other leaders tied up on a stake at the same place they had tied Rozim and Eloha when they found them. “Jasmine, let’s hurry and get to the dungeon as fast as we can. I have a feeling Alpha ralph will have gone ahead of us to the dungeon” he said in a rush while trying to pull me along with him.“Where’s this dungeon” I asked Rozim“Its in a settlement across the river of Zolam behind the village”, he respondedWe ran towards the back of the herbal home; we found an abandoned boat and I sat in it while Rozim got down to push us far into the water before jumping in himself.“Can you row faster Rozim, if your gut says Ralph is at the dungeon, then we need to hurry before he harms your mother. We got to the settlement in no time a
I don’t know what it is with me waking up to the excited chatter of the birds,there’s something soothing and hopeful about that sound. I was awake but my eyes remained close to enjoy the bliss in the sound of nature around me.I can hear some quiet whispers above my head and wondered who those voices belong to, what were they talking about?“Do you think we should wake her now; she looks so peaceful” I smiled; I still do not open my eyes; I was feeling quite lazy that morning.Wait, is that rain already? I was starting to enjoy my blissful sleep. What kind of rain falls without the fresh scent to water hitting the dry earth, I was puzzled.I slowly open my eyes to see Mich standing above me with a small container containing water, ready to sprinkle some more on my body.I exclaimed, “Mich! what do you think you’re doing pouring water over me like that” I said with fake annoyance springing up at him while he retreats backwards.“I sure will have my revenge on everyone who assisted
“You mean to tell me that Derrick is getting married to that witch Becky? After all they’ve put me through“I’m really sorry Jas, but I’ve got to be on my way before my absence is noticed. So long sister” she said walking away into the bush just behind the hut.I was lost for words as tears streamed down my face, I made no attempt to wipe it off as I thought back to when Derrick rescued me when I was almost burnt to death, up till when he announced me as his mate, I thought of the time he chased me away and denounced our relationship as mates publicly.Fresh tears streamed down as I gripped my chest in pain. It was in that state that Mich found me, he ran to me and put my head by his chest.“Jasmine, shhhhh, it will be okay. Just calm down” he comforted me while rubbing my hair. I further buried my face in his chest and soaked his cloth with my tears.“Just tell me what you want us to do to him and this Becky girl” he continued. I was shocked, how did he know, was he eavesdropping, a
