Linda burst into Stacey's house early that morning after she had texted her and she replied back that she was at her house. They were all worried after her scream and then she disappeared into the blues. The police had told them if they don’t hear from her the next day they were then to contact them.
“you scared us, what happened ?” she asked her as soon as she got in the house, she was, however, getting busy with the new job. She had received a call early that morning and she had landed that well-paying job at YMDC Ltd. She had to wear clothes that prove she had a good taste in the job she was doing as a designer and all she could ask Linda is which of the two clothes she was holding looked nice, but Linda was not letting this go she needed to know what happened.“I don’t remember shit baby girl, and all these things you are telling me are making me wonder what the hell you are talking about,” she said trying to keep her good mood.“okay something definitely happened, and we haven’t yet found peters body,” she said feeling sad.“we will get through this don’t worry, but now am so happy I won't have to ask my mom a dime as soon as I begin getting my salary. Now can you help me pick” she said to her excitedly and she choose the one she was holding in her left hand.“You may want to have the first few days enjoying your body figure before your baby bump comes out,” she said to her when she choose the outfit for her to wear.“whaaaat!” she said out loud cursing as she wore her clothes.“Yeah, that,” Linda said getting out the pregnancy test and Stacey took it and stared at it not saying a word, she put it in her handbag and went for her pipe to take a few puffs before leaving, this was supposed to be a good day.Getting inside that place made her forget all the stress she had, she felt like she was at her dream place, the place was huge and very beautiful bigger than Mr Swahib's shop in a very big difference, her workspace was so amazing she couldn’t believe it and everyone there was very busy making something.She was given a guide to take her through the place just to avoid any confusion and her running into all the wrong places.“I saw some of your designs did you really make those?” the tour guide asked her like he did not trust her.“yeah, it is all me,” she said with confidence.“I really hope it is, the work here must be good and I mean really good gurl. You get me?” he said to her still walking her through the place.“I do need that much work,” she said trying to avoid her disturbing thoughts.“that’s good then because a big order will be coming soon,” he said to her before he went ahead to show her some of the honoured samples they had made.“I have hardly seen people wear these clothes, “ she said to him staring at how strangely those dresses looked like they were for some fairytale cartoon she had watched when she was young.“one rule about here is that, you don’t question you just make,” he said clarifying that. She understood clearly she stopped asking many questions and was ready, to begin with, her work.It was a week now and Stacey had proved her work at YMDC, she was lucky some of her classes were part-time and so they did not hinder her from working that week, her life had been so calm that week but full of work she desired it could be so all other days even though Peter’s body was still being looked for.The girl that Peter had died with was burnt and was not traced because she was unseelie, her body went through the portal. Early that morning Justin had done some snooping on her phone when he found that there was a meeting to lay her sister's soul to rest. Her sister was the one who had died with Peter even though she had been with him not by their culture as Unseelie not to mingle with humans.Justin had acted nice to her that day so that he can be able to go with her to the place it was to be done, it was a private ceremony because she had disobeyed their laws and so only a few Unseelie were allowed to attend that ceremony, however, Justin was Unseelie in the eyes of Sandra because that is how he had portrayed himself in her eyes. She had allowed him to come later on and he sent the location to his brother who came with his team.“We lay the soul of our sister with the body that claimed her” Sandra was leading the ceremony and in front of her was Peter’s body that was spread some ashes which were considered to be her sister's remains.Justin looked around and noticed the number was not so big, it was with very few people and they were all dressed in black costumes, he had never been around such strong Unseelie like this and he felt something strong burn his heart. He felt like raging and attacking them but he had to control himself not until his brother is here with the team.Sandra was holding a big flame of fire that she was to use to burn Peters's body with the ashes to give her sister peace. They were all to come closer and surround the body and that’s when Justin realized it was the body of Stacey's dead boyfriend. What a coincidence he thought.“the fairies are now using humans to attack us, killing the very people they are protecting we should also go rogue worse than them, we are the most evil not them!” she said before they all began to chant.Andrew was already there with his team but hiding in the dark he also got surprised to hear that the girl was killed by ordered Unseelie by the fairies. He understood well that none of the fairies had that power but one. They all looked at each other in question but kept their head to the mission.“we attack now! But save the body we also need to get answers, mother will be happy to hear this news” he said before they all attack them without their knowledge.The next day Sarah was called by the police and she was informed that her son's body had been found they should come for it, Stacey had to go by bus and not Linda’s car as she was used to, she was still thinking deeply about the conversation she had with Linda about her being pregnant by this man she did not even know or even had his number.“I don’t think I should tell him, we don’t even remember what happened that night,” she said frustrated to her.“maybe you don’t but maybe he does “ Linda insisted that Justin was as much responsible as she was.“then what? Cause I have been thinking about this whole week, and I realized I don’t want to end up like my mother.” She said to her getting a little emotional.“so what do you mean?” Linda asked her taking the pipe away from her she had been trying to get her to think about this when she is sober but she kept on smoking throughout the conversation.“I won't keep it,” she said to her as a tear fell off her eye. Linda moved closer to comfort
“how is Sandra?” Andrew asked Justin he had come to his office early that morning and the two had some business they were working for on hours.“she is still healing, she survived,” he said to him and he seemed to be in deep thoughts.“We still need her, it’s a good thing we killed half of them, they won’t be bothering that boy's family. “ he said to him explaining to him that they were still watching that family and protecting them. He and that Unseelie had died upon an order from a fairy so powerful they were killed by the Unseelie who are still bound to the fairy magic.“what does this mean?” he asked him very interested.“mother says we may divide our attention because perhaps the queen is still alive and we are the only ones who can save her, that’s why we need you to still keep in touch,” he said to him and he felt bored at the thought.“I think they may be suspecting me, so I will have to play very low, especially now that she told me she doesn’t want to see me. She wants a brea
“wow sorry I forgot you were there,” Justin said after the awkward silence that was there before Stacey hurried to leave getting herself in order along the way.“Okay, I see why you want to get off Sandra so fast,” he said to him.“I just met her recently, nothing much,” he said trying to end that conversation about Stacey.“it seems you are forgetting what happened last time you were sleeping around with these girls! I will take care of this we have urgent matters to work on” he said to him before he looked at his watch and walked away leaving. Stacey felt embarrassed walking back to her office, getting herself in order. That went ugly real fast she thought. She did not understand how that even happened in the first place, she did not even say a word to Patrick when she passed at his office but neither could she wait to be done with the baby issue, now that she had the signature from Justin.She walked out of her office with her handbag ready to leave and get Linda to take her to th
Her mind was trying to make out the reason and a good explanation for all this, she was sitting on her balcony with her joint feeling so much pressured with everything that was going on, when she walked into her house from Linda’s house she found an eviction notice at her apartment door. All she could do now is smoke her stress away as she looked forward to the next day so she could go ahead to the doctor and have one of her problems solved, she had not seen Linda yet but she had no idea of how she was even going to hide all this from her, she was going to have to deal with all this by herself.Time went by so fast she did not realise when she fell asleep on her balcony and was woken up by the extreme cold that was outside. she drag herself to her bed and was woken up by her alarm in a few hours. Walking past Patrick she remembered what she had seen the other day in his office and she did not even bother to greet him, this was so crazy to her right now, she could not digest everythi
As she slumped on the bus seat heading back home, her mind drifted away to a million thoughts. The Black city was home to her but because of school she had to leave, this was not how she pictured coming home when she left for school. She had dreamt of coming home with her gown and her hard-earned degree back at home, not broke and a dropout like her mother, things had turned so fast for her, she hadn’t even had time to tell her mother she was coming back. “Perhaps she went on one of her trips with her boyfriends” she hoped, she knew she did not even care she was also angry at her and was not looking forward to seeing her. It has been a few months since her being away from home and a lot of things had changed, she looked around wondering when everything in the city had begun looking so different. After long hours of travelling she arrived home exhausted, unfortunately for her, her mother was in the house and received her with a warm welcome and a big hug.“baby I didn’t know you are
“where are we ?” Stacey asked Jacob looking around at how strange the place looked.“somewhere safe, you can walk freely,” he said to her but she did not trust this man even a little bit.“does mum knows who you are?” she asked him as they walked along those streets.“no, she doesn’t need to know,” he said taking a cigar and offered her some but she declined it.He realized it was because she did not trust him and he felt how afraid she was at that moment, he then stopped at a place where there were some bus seats and he offered her to have a seat with him.“Okay what do you want to know?” he asked her and she took some time before responding.“everything there is,” she said and he agreed to explain to her everything that was going on, he explained to her who Unseelie were and the difference between them and the fairies they had the dark magic and the fairies had the light hence that’s why they were so beautiful compared to Unseelie who had very ugly faces. He further explained to he
After thinking and meditating for about an hour, she finally decided to get ready for the interview. She stood in front of the mirror, her mind unsure about which dress to wear, they both looked good and very official and that even made it more difficult to choose between the two.“The blue one would fit you perfectly,” her mother said walking Into her room, she did not turn to look at her but chose the black one instead.“Are you still mad at me baby?” she asked her.“no, what do you think maa” she answered back in an attitude but her mother did not back off.“okay talk to me what is it, Stacey?” she asked her sitting on her bed.“do you honestly trust that man?” Stacey asked her moving about the room like she was looking for something. “I don’t think he should be leaving here” “I know you are mad that he could be your father….” she answered her but was cut short by her.“No, he is not. Why don’t you ask him to take a DNA that way we will all be sure.” She said getting her bag read
It was a week now since Stacey started working at the company, and she was more familiar with working with magic, especially in making new designs every day. Her work was becoming noticeable she had an awesome talent, she had been so busy learning every new trick to become one of the best designers she had no time to think even about any other thing. She would wake up early every day for work and come back very late at night. It was around midnight when she got home, she was welcomed with a trail of blood leading to her mother’s bedroom, she hurried so first to her room and found her arm bleeding, Jacob was next to her doing some first to her.“What happened?” she asked very worried as she looked at her mother bleeding, Jacob got up and went looking for some bandages as he asked to hold on a little longer.“mum, what happened?” she turned to her mother when she noticed Jacob's mind was distracted trying to help her.“Some men came attacking us, at my workplace,” she said trying to
