As he kissed me, it occurred to me that this was not a normal reaction to someone telling you that they had orders to kill you. As much as I was enjoying being lost in the moment, this was not the reaction I'd expected. He pulled away from my lips and kissed my cheek before pulling away to look at me adoringly. This, of course, had me staring back at him wide-eyed, mouth slightly agape as I wondered whether or not he'd heard my explanation about my plans to kill him correctly."You just kissed me," I said in shock."Well, aren't you aware of your surroundings?" he teased. "I assume they teach you to be very alert about what's going on at vampire hunter school.""Why did you kiss me?" I asked, determined to understand what was going through his head."Because you're my girlfriend," he smiled as he said this, as if it were all some game.Annoyed with his lack of ability to grasp the magnitude of my frustration, I pushed him up against the wall and pulled out the dagger I'd brought with
At Chingwere Level 1 hospital, a patient in a ward kept shouting and screaming at the nurses. It had been three days now since he was brought in. The people who brought him in didn't wait to answer much questions; they just dropped him in and rushed back to where they had come from. The only thing the nurses knew was that he was a prince from a certain village which apparently, the Chief's house had caught fire. They felt pity for him because he is the sole survivor of the ghastly accident; His whole family had died in the fire outbreak.Two nurses heard the loud screams from the ward. 'When will he shut up?" The first nurse asked.'He's in pains and you could see he is a village boy, he's probably scared and not used to all these," the second nurse added.'Huh, it's now becoming irritating and he still doesn't want anyone to wash his wounds. How will he get well?"'He got burnt so bad. His whole leg is reddish. These jobs we dream of. Sometimes i just wish i was a teacher."'Just go
Early Sunday morning, Ludo woke up and came to her senses as she saw the bedroom she was in. She was at Melanie's. She remembered what happened the previous day and reached for her phone. She found several missed calls from an unknown number and Lance. She had called her dad before she reached Melanie's place. She didn't know how to call Lance and tell him she had messed up. She didn't want to think about that and got out of bed. She went into the shower and a couple of minutes later, came out and found Melanie on the bed with a tray of breakfast on her side.'What can i do without you?" Ludo reached for the tray. 'You're the only good thing from six years ago."'I know," Melanie smiled. 'What happened yesterday?"'I'm sorry i didn't tell you last night. I just wanted to sleep."'I understand."'Guess who i met?"'Who?"'Erica Hamuumbu."'What? That ruthless woman?"Ludo nodded chewing on a piece of bread.'Wow, will that family ever leave you alone?"'The exact same thing i was wonde
Many, Many years ago in Chisoti village, something atrocious happened that each and every person who had heard or witnessed it never wanted it to be mentioned again.Like each day, 26 year old Chovu returned from the field with his younger brother Mapulanga. They were the closest amongst their siblings. They had two sisters and one older brother who was the next in line to become the chief. The siblings were known to have gotten along with each other perfectly especially when one was in trouble.Chovu and Mapulanga reached their house and found their sisters preparing supper for the whole family. Their elder brother was talking to their old sick father and was not to be disturbed.'They are talking again?" Mapulanga looked at Chovu.'They always talk, these two. I wonder what they talk about huh," Chovu added.'We know he's the next in line but we all want the attention too."Chovu laughed, 'Look at you, like you're a teenager crying for attention. He's probably being moulded into bec
Her heart almost out of place and not knowing what the near future held for her, Ludo walked quickly to the gate that she dropped some files in her hand. She bent down and picked them all up. While standing up, she felt a cold rush of air on her neck, she turned around. She felt like someone was watching her. She tried to look around but there was no one around. She walked into the building, her eyes everywhere. Upon entering, she saw Lance and Caesar's cars in the parking lot. She cussed herself about what happened on Saturday. She entered and found Lauren on the reception busy typing something on a laptop. Ludo passed her without saying anything and went directly to her office. As soon as she put her handbag on the table, Lance was standing on the door with his hands in the pocket.'Goo … good morning sir," Ludo stuttered.'Follow me," Lance turned around.Ludo didn't know what to touch or carry. She just started off and followed Lance to his office. When she entered she found Caesa
Trying to think of what had happened in the two villages in two consecutive nights bothered and gave Hunter a terrible headache. He had first thought of Ben and Devi and knowing them, he knew everything was about the land. What if they planned on getting rid of Chief Chovu's whole family including his daughter in the other village? He asked himself. What was the big deal with the land that they were willing to go to the extent of killing everyone in their way? He knew they worked as contractors but who was behind all the scheme? He remembered what Walutanga's sister said before dying. She mentioned something about children, did she mean her children? That wasn't his concern at the moment but Walu was and he had to get to him as soon possible. He didn't know why but there was some sort of urgency in his heart and through his job in the past, he learned to trust his instinct.The truck he had gotten onto had many problems on the way. They had to stop several times to repair it. Despite
Hunter shoved a table out of his way and grabbed Devi by his coat and pulled him, smashing him against another patient's bed. Some patients were now awake wondering what was happening. Hunter quickly checked on Walu who was having a hard time breathing but he knew he was going to be fine. As he turned around, a punch landed on his cheek knocking out his molar instantly. This small man had the power of Goliath, Hunter thought as he spat the tooth out. Devi grabbed a table and threw it on Hunter who briskly missed it. The two men stood panting heavily looking at each other. Hunter was bleeding.'So my suspicions were right," Hunter said and went, 'But why Devi?"'You know me?" Devi seemed shocked.'Who wouldn't know the duo Ben and Devi and the mess they leave when handling things?"Devi laughed, 'Are we that careless?"'Always have been."'May i know who you are?"'Your worst nightmare," Hunter jumped at Devi with a punch.Devi cleverly blocked it punching him in the torso repeatedly a
Devi drove into his yard and found Ben's car parked there. His head felt like it could drop off from the neck. He got out of the car and slowly walked to the front door limping. As soon as he entered the house, he directly went to his little bar in his living room and grabbed a quarter bottle of Jameson and gulped it all the way down his oesophagus. He then put the bottle on the counter and wondered where Ben was. He heard footsteps behind him and turned around, there stood Ben with a weary face.'Damn!" Devi gritted his teeth. 'Sometimes you act like this is your house."Ben didn't say anything but walked past him and grabbed the same bottle he had drank from and gulped as well. If Devi knew, he would have noticed that Ben was in turmoil.'Why would you need that for?" Devi grabbed the bottle from him.As Devi wanted to take another sip, he heard footsteps coming from the other room and knew there was another person in the house. He turned round to check on Ben and all Ben could give
