Chapter 17misery! Messing with her.Ben saw the confusion in Alex's eyes, he should have stopped talking, but he didn't, yes she was a fighter but then she was still a child, and even if she was trying so hard to keep cool till now, she was trying to be strong, but she was still flesh and blood and she could get broken and beaten down. But Ben didn't think of all this, all he knew was that all this was for her safety.He owed Alfred her father his life, the least he could do was protect this child he called his daughter. He was sure that if a human had been the one to catch a werewolf they wouldn't let it off the way Alfred had done to him. Ben turned and kept moving and Alex followed."Alex, no one is to know you came from the Lunaland, from now on, you don't know anything that happened before now, you have amnesia, hence, you don't remember even your parents. Your story is simple, you woke up in a hospital here at Holandis, you were told you had been transferred here f
Chapter 18AmusedFinally Ben and Alex arrived at the building where Ben's office was located. "Good morning Mr. stone" some of the passers-by greeted "good morning sir" the others greeted, as he passed by. 'Mr. Stone, that should be his surname, and he feels quite popular here, like a boss or something I thought."Good morning" Ben replied cheerfully. "Hi pretty", Hello sweetheart", " what a cutie! Mr stone is this a relative" woh! a whole lot of compliments and questions flew past as Alex walked down the corridors with Ben. Probably this was why Ben had her or dressed up, whatever, am not sure, just finding it difficult trusting a man who is taking her to a lad. It was normal to have kids around the academy at this period due to the latest scheme so they didn't bother about why she was there. Ben walked into his office a pile of documents was waiting on his desk which he was supposed to give attention to, they were the new intake of students of which Alex is supposed to be part, a
Chapter 19HopeAlex walked closer to the TV, she looked closely at the screen, and pressed her finger on it to see if it would pass through, of course, it didn't! She looked closely at all edges of the screen to see if there was an opening, but no reasonable one, she moved to the wall and tried peeping at the back of the Tv still no success on her very serious investigation mission.She returned r seat after her fruitless search with a thoughtful expression, Ben had returned s desk, working on the remaining papers he was putting on his busy mode expressed."Sir, or rather Ben, I would have loved to ask you how the humans get into the television or Tv but I see you are busy so I would just ask later," Alexandria asked hoping Ben would also give her s little of his time as she had indirectly asked what was bothering her. But then, Ben was really busy, "Well, then Alex, thank you. That was thoughtful of you" Ben said without lifting his eyes away from the document as he scribbled
Chapter 20Unfair? Bigger than this?"Am sorry Mr. Stone we aren't taking any more applications, if you noticed I only sent you files for fifteen students of which you are to select only ten, the scheme wasn't really successful, the other boards approved of it but the medical board aren't really in support, they say the influence of the Academy might be detrimental to the childhood of young ones, and they managed to convince the other board members.""When we insisted that this scheme was necessary they only allowed us to take in ten students as a tryout, if it is proven successful then we can take in more students in the next one or two years depending," Mr. Xian said. "Is there nothing we can do?" Ben asked desperately, he had promised Alfred to put Alex in the school, he believed the scheme was going to be successful, 'why all this?' He thought"There is nothing we can do now Mr.Stone, those names of children you see there had been thoroughly selected, they are considered to have p
Chapter 21She WAS poisoned.Regal sat on his study chair, not like he was studying though, he just rested his head lazily on the desk. His long gold hair, falling all around him, "Uncle do I need to study all this?" Regal pouted as Wilson walked in with a stack of books and placed it on his table. "Yes, I mean that is if you want to have free time to have fun later today" Wilson replied reluctantly."And what if I don't want to? You should know that I can escape here if I want to" Regal fired. "am not sure of that Wilson replied "what do you mean" Regal said "see for yourself self" Wilson said as he pouted towards the entrance.Regal walked towards the door and opened it, Lined at his door both to the right and left was able bodyguards with firm strong faces that meant business. "You ordered bodyguards to watch over me, what! Am I, a prisoner?" Regal asked with rage. "Not me, but your father" Wilson replied with the same unaffected tone he had been using. Regal paced around
Chapter 23DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A WITCH!Ben drove into a compound after they had been driving for half a day. He pulled his car to a halt, and came out as Alex followed, she stared around the compound, "this place doesn't look bad" she thought.Ben had told her, he would be taking her where she would now be living, he explained how he was rarely around at his home and that was the reason she couldn't stay with him, he promised to come to visit as frequently as he could.A lady ran out to welcome them, her eyes sparkled immediately she saw Ben standing in his navy blue jeans and white polo. "Oh Ben, it's been like forever, you just broke up with me and ran off like that, you never even cared to visit" she complained."Or to even check how I was doing, I was surprised when I saw your call, after about two years, can't believe it took you so long to realize am your one and only true love" she rattled on, Alex peeped from behind Ben who hadn't said a word.She was waiting for him
Chapter 24.Come get me!Ben prepared to leave shortly, after explaining to Greta that Alex's introduction earlier was a repulse action, one which she might have been used to when she was with her parents who were now dead, but that now, she had lost all her memories. Ben pulled Alex aside after telling her to be more careful. "I will be back, to get you Alex, but till then be very careful you can't afford to arouse any suspicion or anything of that sort, no one is to know except me and you, okay? As I said, I will be back, I will come get you" Ben promised as he waved her goodbye and drove off.Alex held to that promise with her dear life, Ben was the only person she knew here in Demeris, she felt like he was also the only person she could trust since her dad handed her over to him. She started her life on Long Hill, Demeris, her new home. The first three months were bliss but then the months that followed were hell.It's been two years since Ben dropped Alex o
Chapter 25Can't take this anymore!She sniffled more tears "I won't cry anymore, Alexandria, you are brave, you are strong," she said wiping her eye clean but they betrayed her, more tears poured down like the tear tap in her eyes socket were let loose."Momma, it hurts, it hurts badly here" she cried pointing her finger to her chest. Alex didn't know how and neither do I but she soon fell asleep. The girls tip-toed into the room later and tried so hard not to wake her.Rachel, used a warm clean towel to wipe her wounds carefully, Alex flinched in her sleep as Rachel wiped it, this was the least they could do, they all had been through this at one time or the other, no one could save anyone, they were all thriving to survive, but unlike her, they had no hope of anyone coming to get them.Alex woke up the next day to meet her menstrual cramp which always hurt like crazy, coupled with the pains from yesterday, Alex couldn't even move. The girls promised to contribute from their pay
