EDWARD’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWMy mother went with those who took Thomas’ mother away to watch over her. My father was by Thomas’ father’s side. Much words were not said between the two men but you could hear so much being communicated even in silence. I leaned on the pillar by the corner of the ward’s corridor. I slid down against it and fell in a squatting position. Smart walked dejectedly then sat on the floor not too far away from me. He looked like someone who had just lost his long time lover. Well, Thomas was much more than that to him. I still could not understand how he died just like that especially on such a sacred night as the full moon night. Could this be also from the minister’s camp? All these much damages to my family in just a night. The doctors said his vital failed suddenly. That did not sound as enough cause to me. We could not even sue the hospital as it was ours and the doctors there were best of the best in the whole country. Also, it could not be ruled as
EDWARD’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWI almost ran over them as they tried to stop me. I parked my car in one of the spaces at the front of the house and not the garage. I alighted and jammed the car door in anger. I could see his security men running over but I marched to the front door before they could get to me and opened the door. I stormed into their living as their front door was not locked. There he was, sipping on a glass of wine while the television screen was displaying news about the horror that had happened the previous night. He did not look shocked to see me barge into his house. I was pleased he was alone because I would not want Celia to witness what was about to go down right there or maybe I did not care, I did not know for certain. His security men barged in after me.“Sorry for intrusion sir. We tried to stop him but he refused.” One of them said to the minister and bowed then glared at me like a predator waiting for the right moment to pounce on its prey but I was
TONY’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWWe had just finished the full moon night procession and we were all looking for our clothes to cover our nakedness that had flew during transformation. I spotted my gray colored pants and quickly went to it then put it on before some of these people come for it. We usually did not have to fight for our clothings but for the new set of people amongst us that night. I could not stand watching as everyone ran all over the place hustling for their clothes. I was still trying to buckle my pants hook when I spotted two men fighting over a piece of cloth. I knew something like that was inevitable.I looked away at first to look for the shirt I was wearing earlier that night when one of the two men dragging cloth with one another stroke a memory. I turned back swiftly to look at their direction but this time, one was already running away with the cloth. The other got distracted by someone else but he soon started running after when he saw he had taken to his
TONY’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWA middle aged woman pointed at the opposite corner to her end for me. I could see a tattered mat there unoccupied. I looked back at her. She was the only one who paid me an attention as everyone else returned to sleep since they realized I was not a threat. “You can sleep there. The occupant is not in at the moment.” She said and also turned her back as she slept on her side and cuddled a young girl which I presumed to be her daughter. There were kids in the room as well some of which were alone with no adult to watch over them like her daughter. The abandoned house seemed to have many rooms so I wondered if they were also filled up the same as this one. I thanked her then went to the corner she pointed for me. I went there and sat down with my back leaning on the wall. The room was stinking and hot even as I had no shirt on but it was better than the cold and the danger I would be exposed to outside. I raised my knees and rested my head on it as I w
EDWARD’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEW“No, I did not disappear. I saw something at the sacred house. I know where Taylor was taken to.” His voice came on the other end.“What?! Taylor? Are you sure? Where are you?” I replied as I stepped on the accelerator and drove to the hospital.“Of course, I am stranded over here. Please, start coming.” He said weakly over the phone.“Okay, describe the place. I am coming right away.” I said into the phone. He described a really far location at the outskirts of the city. I ended the call after getting the description. I got to the hospital and looked all over for Smart and the chief security. I found them still looking sullen. It did not seem like much had happened since I left.“Please, we have to stay strong right now. Tony just called me and informed me that he knows where Taylor was kidnapped to.” I said to them and it got their attention.“Where is that?” Smart sprung up and asked in his shaky voice from excessive wailing.“Is he still alive
WILLIAMS’ FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWEdward had just came into my house ranting about losing his cousin to the cold hands of death and the other going missing. I pretended to not be shocked to put more fear in him by hiding my facial expression but I was shocked to find out the older son of the one I ordered to be kidnapped was dead. I thought he was recovering especially since they transferred them to their own hospital. After I was sure he had left, I picked up my phone to call Sniper. Thankfully, my daughter was not home to witness all his rants as that would make her lose more trust in me. “Hello Sniper.” I said into the phone immediately he picked the call.“Hello, your excellency.” His voice came on excitedly.“Save the pleasantries. What else did you and your men do last night?” I asked sternly.“We only got the teenager as you asked. Is anything the problem, sir?” He asked sounding genuinely confused about the question.“Check the news. There are reports of attack everywhere
MR WILLIAMS’ FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEW“Why did you not pick my call from earlier? You want to tell me you have not been seeing the news?” His voice came on so loud I had to take it away from my ears so it did not spoil my ear drums.“I was not with my phone, my assistant just brought it to me.” I said in a carefree and sleepy voice so he would think I was just getting out of the bed. After all, it was a day after the full moon night and everyone would be looking forward to replenishing their energy. I did not understand the reason for him to call that early even if the media was going abyss with what happened, that was not enough for him to keep disturbing me this way.“Then, you should keep your mobile next to you always in case of emergencies. You even sound like you are still in bed. That must mean you have not seen the news?” He asked after scolding me like I was his last child.“No, I have not.” I lied again so he could be more riled up and feel what I felt with his disturbance
MR WILLIAMS’ FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEW“Who are you going to meet?” My wife asked after my assistant left.“I have to go meet Sniper. They have captured the youngest of the Robinson’s family. His last grandson. I am going to trade the case for his life with Edward. I can not wait to see what their choice will be.” I said.“You mean you are going to ask them to drop the case in exchange for the young boy’s life?” My side asked and I nodded.“Although, there is something I am confused about currently. Edward mentioned someone died last night earlier when he showed up all of a sudden. That would be none other than Thomas, the business mogul who was also shot alongside Robinson. He thinks I am responsible for his death. I checked in with Sniper and he confirmed not doing anything if such.” I said.“Really? Is that a good news or not though? I am well convinced Sniper did not do that because these rogues only carry out tasks they were being paid for. They do not waste their efforts. The m
