Anthony took my hand and led me to the couch. "Listen, about Ethan, I –"I cut him off. Ethan was the last person I wanted to talk about right now. "It's okay," I said. "I get that it wasn't your fault. I'm dealing with it. I just don't want to talk about it."He kissed my cheek. "Sure. So how are you? I was so worried. I'm thrilled that you're here, but I thought you'd be in more trouble."I looked at him carefully, wondering when he was planning to tell me about saving my mother's life. It didn't seem like he intended to any time soon. He was content to let it go unnoticed. He was going to be selfless. Unlike me who was planning to kill him because I was only thinking about myself. But that was the way I'd been raised."Why didn't you tell me that you talked to Lucas to save my mother?" I asked."I haven't exactly gotten a chance to talk to you in a while," he replied. "I wasn't sure he would do it, but I wanted to try.""How did you get him to listen? I never realized that he was s

Lucas set his glass of blood down on the table next to him carefully, never taking his eyes off of us. He then stood and gestured toward the couch opposite from him."Please have a seat, ladies. You're just the girls I wanted to see. I'm going to assume your mother doesn't know you're here, but don't worry I won't tell." His lips curled up into a sinister smile.A sudden fury came over me. This was the vampire who murdered my best friend and my father, and he was standing there acting like we were all old friends who he was happy to have over. Why was he here?Worry settled in as I considered the thousands of possibilities. Were Emily and Eric okay? Did they know he was here? Was he invited here? Did I make some grave error in judgment about Eric? Were the Carsons all really my enemies? That would mean Anthony was my enemy, and to think I'd felt guilty about lying to him all this time…While I was busy having my mental breakdown, Nicole stood strong in front of me poised to fight. She

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

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

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
