It was a Saturday morning. Yes, it's been couple of weeks and I and Yuvonne are getting comfortable with the people around us. But I can tell you, I am not yet comfortable with the environment.

Mercury is doing well with the Vikings language learning and I have been patiently waiting for her to get there.

On the walls of all the berets camp is the Viking's language, the reception not left out. Like every other day, we woke up, went for morning exercise, I could see myself growing muscles and getting light  by the day. Our orientation classes ended few days ago and we have learnt a lot.

After the morning exercise, we went in to shower and dress up for the day, I am still getting used to a uniform everyday.

We went to the refectory for our breakfast. I also happened to make another girlfriend from my camp, Asher, she had a social spirit, driven and intelligent and was very good with handling guns and weapons. Mercury came out of the dorm very late, which is strange because she rises even before Yuvonne. So she was in a hurry to meet up with us, she hurriedly went to the counter to get her food, as she was making her way out of the counter, she mistakenly crashed with Lord George Sky who was parading in the refectory as usual feeling like the queen of prom. Mercury's food poured on her, and unfortunately, it was soup morning. She screamed and everybody's attention was drawn to them. Sky became very flushed with rage as she slapped off Mercury's eyes aid who had been apologizing the whole time.

I flew from my sit to where they were standing. Of course I had to stand up for my friend.

"It's okay now Lord, George. She has actually said sorry."

I picked up Mercury's eyes aid and when I stood up, Sky was about to give me a slap on my face. I acted fast as I averted it by wedging her hand with my left hand, and repulsively giving her a sounding slap. The crowd went wild with surprise.

She tried to fight me back but I held her by the neck and said to her with a clenched teeth;

"If you try as much as raising your filthy hands on me, you will tell the whole berets what you've been doing with Alpha Washington. Nightcrawler."

She went stiff the moment I mentioned Alpha Washington. I took Mercury to the table as Sky angrily left the refectory.

"Girl, you've got balls like a man, damn"

Asher said with her cowgirl accent as she punched me by the shoulder.

I was hyperventilating because everything that happened was so fast and I never knew I could pull what I did there.

"We might as well be in trouble. God, why did I slap her?"

I said looking at my hands.

"Well, you've tamed a wild animal for the time being, How are you feeling Mercury?"

Asher said as she turned to Mercury.

"I am fine, but I will be needing a new pair of specs" Mercury replied looking at her broken eyes aid.

"Don't worry, you will be fine, let's thank God the bitch didn't pull out your eye."

Asher said passing her food to Mercury to eat.

While waiting for Mercury to eat up, we saw Bull, Julius coming towards us. I knew I was in danger.

"Oh no, this is actually gonna get ugly."

Asher said as she caught sight of him too.

I was just looking at him straight up as he was approaching. I was trying my best to be calm.

When he came to our table. We all stood up. He looked at my badge and looked me straight in the eyes, but I was looking back, not even blinking. He smirked.

"You, Mary has got a lot nerves to slap a Lord and a functionary. Not to talk of confronting her? You must have to know, If you single out yourself in a negative way, you are packing so many inside enemies which is not supposed. You and Waters are summoned by the Commander, now.

And when you are done with her, report back to me immediately, clear?".

Yes Lord!

We answered as we left the refectory for the Commander's office.

"I knew today was going to be a bad day when I woke up late."

Mercury complained.

"Listen, you tell her, you apologized and I will take up from there, okay?"

She nodded to me as we reached the Commander's office.

We went in and saluted as we stood at attention.

She looked at us through her eyes aid, not relieving us of our salute stance, and said as she continued tapping away on her desktop;

"Just three weeks of being a Null in the Marshalls and you are going against the rules already, bringing out your wild form. What then happens when you are sworn in as a full fledged Marshall with no white berets? Kill me?"

"Ma. I am.." I tried to explain but she cuts in.

"And who asked this rabbit to talk when I am speaking?" She said removing her eyes aid.

"Do you know why you are called Nulls?"

She asked. More like a rhetorical question.

"Because you are for two months, under trial and you my dear is nothing, until you remove that white beret on your head and replace it with a colourful one. I can send you home now, because I own this place and I own you too. The next time your names get to me for causing nuisance in this institution, I will make sure you perish.

Meet the Head Bull for your punishments.

And Mary, don't expect your punishment to 

be the same with Waters' because unlike you, who tried to fight a functionary and a Lord, she only tripped.

Get out of my office, now."

"Thank you ma!"

We both said as we brought down our hands that has been on salute the whole time and left her office.

" Bro, she didn't even allow us to say something. What type of judgement is that, it was just a pure reaction"

Mercury said as she adjusted her one handed eyes aid on her face.

"Hmm, why am I not surprised. She would definitely side her precious Lord and Functionary. Let's go meet with Arms"

We met with Arms and after our punishment wish was I, to pack the stones at the building site alone and Mercury to mop the annex multi purpose hall. We went in for our training classes. Let me introduce you proper to the six berets;

The Vantas that is the Black berets are the gun and weapon handlers. The Alphas, that is the red berets are the explosive handlers. The green berets which are the Bulls are the underwater or marine fighters.

The yellow berets which are the Crones are the air Force soldiers. The only berets with six stars.

The blue berets which are the Lords are the

Sword swingers and field fighters. The only beret with five stars and one anchor.

Then, the last and obviously the least are the white berets. The colourful berets aspirants.

 

After our training, I went outside to enjoy the breeze. I took my water flask with me, drinking from it, I heard footsteps approaching, it was from two different people, by their gaits I could tell, it was Mercury and Asher. They came and sat beside me.

" I heard the Shalomes are waging war against Claudia, because of territory and pipe line ownership." Asher said taking my flask from me to drink water.

"Really, I thought it's only rumor because the Commander hasn't bothered to mention it, no wonder the berets has being training more than us lately. Mercury chipped in.

"They have been waiting for this day, most of them will be getting their last stars after this war" I said, stretching my legs.

"Those who make it back alive." Asher said.

"That, my sister is the irony " Mercury said.

" Let's just say, they are waging war against each other. The Shalomes has a bigger population of soldiers you know, what chance do we even stand?" Asher asked.

"It is not about the size, it's about the strength"

Mercury told Asher.

"Oh spare me that, Mercury, this is not about playing smart, it is about playing hard. And I hate to break it to you but the Shalomes are three times bigger than us. Before you ask how I knew, I heard the deputy commander saying it yesterday."

"We will see how it turns out. For now, we haven't been informed. It is still flying around." I told them.

"Oh, I am having a bad headache." Mercury said holding her head."

"Earlier today, you received the hardest slap of your life. Girl you must have seen the stars. C'mon let's take you to the infirmary." Asher said as she stretched her hand to help Mercury up.

We all left for the infirmary.

I haven't seen Yuvonne the whole day. I have been so busy with the punishment and all.

I came in to the dorm very spent. 

I laid down and I dozed off.

    "What do you mean?"I asked Julius who provided me with the first answer with my calmest voice ever."She said something that got Karl angry and he took her away."My chest began to heave up and down.I got infuriated to the point my heart swelled up and in my rage, I roared heavily making everyone in the other cell to stand up and hang onto the cylindrical rods that created a barrier between us.-"Helion?! Please stop! You are hurting yourself."-"Oh my God, this is not good.""Anyone with water?!"Most were trying to help while some just stared blankly. Everyone acting according to their reaction towards panic.My muscles became stiff as if my tendons was growing apart from my bones, the chains got hotter by the minute but I couldn't decipher which was burning up; my hands or the chains? There was a rush of strength in me, I couldn't contain my being.In the next minute, the chains clamping my wrists began to glow. A cobalt-blue rays as though it was being subjected to an oxy-ethylen

  • HELION MARY.   Chapter Fifty

    An hour en route to Ramoha, we started growing cold about everything.So many ambivalent thoughts began to slip into our heads through the windows we unknowingly created; doubt, fear and anxiety. We couldn't picture a future after Ramoha, it felt like the beginning of the end as Claudia and Shalonian's future where in our hands.But I brought our minds together, made everyone to take a deep breath and exhale as many times as possible our morbid thoughts away with it. Then, we said our war prayers before the last navigation, bringing us up above water.Ready as expected, we marched stealthily into Karl's HQ, but unfortunately, there were uncountable number of armed soldiers scattered around, alert and enthusiastic."This was not the plan guys. Julius promised that they wouldn't be this much."Mercury whispered."There was never a plan. I only speculated.""You what!? speculating in a matter of life and death? Aren't you a joke in a handsome face?"Collins looked like he could have kille

    In twenty minutes, we all gathered round the oblong table we dragged earlier in the middle of the coven, Julius was the one to lead us in the plan but the problem is, he said everyone was allowed to opine.He stood up and started while we sat down and watched keenly waiting to interrupt when necessary, of course a bottle was going round already and you know who the waitress is."Guys, this is no child's play and take it from me, Karl is preparedly waiting on the other end for our arrival. Now he probably have over a hundred armed soldiers with him and we are apparently.....""Wait...we are literally sacrificing our lives? As what burnt offerings? for what again, can someone please remind me?"Collins was beginning to freak out, it just dawned on him."Okay how about I look after the boat while you all go and do your....'thing'?""Dude, it's 'our' thing now, it's either you do this with us or you swim back to the Marshalls."Henry was not having it at all.Julius sighed and continued, h

    Literally like forever later when I managed to open my drowsy eyes, goodness I was having a very hard head bang as if a drum roll was going on in my head, I actually got up because of a muffled high pitched noise I heard in my subconscious state, but now half awake I observed that the noise was coming from Julius' compass wrist band and he had that hand over my head through the night.Darnit! It was an emergency blaring alarm and Julius was so stoned and was sleeping beautifully like a new born, he didn't even notice. How professional, Janet took the odds though.I frantically wiggled his sleeping butt to wake him up and when he did, he stood up immediately, cursed and rushed to the helm while Henry and Washington followed behind him."We are all gonna die!"Collins whimpered in fear waking up the rest of the crew who were oblivious of what was happening, we all felt the urge to go see what was going on but the helm is not a place to be crowded, also it's the most sensitive part of th

    Henry and Daniel headed to the coven while Julius made to trail after them but he needed to tidy up one or two to make sure of our safety, I stood by the door, floating in my head at the thought of the beauty that stood at the helm, I was drawn by his charisma, his aura and personality, I hypnotizingly tiptoed behind him, stood on my toes and hugged him from behind as I caressed his neck with my nose taking in his fresh scent and aftershave, I got tipsy already, he was simply alluring and I felt proud, knowing he somehow belonged to me, alone. My hand made for his nipples as I gently squeezed on each bud, he was giving out short helpless gasps responding to the touch."Not you avoiding my stares earlier and here you are now, going all shameless and naughty, you don't know how much those cute acts of yours arouses me, Hel. I don't mind making love to you here."Hearing that, I needed no wizard to tell me to let go of him, because he doesn't bluff when matters like that came up. As if he

    Morning came and the seven of us already came out standing before the Bay, out front. The Bay was facing the pacific directly for easy take off. My head was swelling up at the vast water body and the breeze it produced, it was simply overwhelming. The ship was already halfway into the water, she just sat there looking pretty and gigantic and waiting for us.All of us but Janet was ready and present, we had to wait for her. Just like Julius promised, he already serviced the boat and made sure we had enough gas, I was feeling a little nostalgic about the whole situation because I never knew our quest would bring us to the point of using a submarine, I made sure I brought a lot of bottle water, talk about staying sane. Everyone of us was on a travelling backpack with our stuffs prepped inside of it. I didn't forget to bring along the phone, I went online last night right after Yuvonne got done with praising the hell outta Julius, she slept off immediately and I brought out the phone and s

    "Wait, we are traveling on submarines?"Yuvonne asked with a narrowed brow. "Yes, SNX-921 precisely. Our safety is ninety percent assured if we ride on her."Julius encouraged. "Pfft, ninety percent? What happens to the ten percent huh?"Washington pressed on."You can't be so sure Daniel, even if we are to fly, you wouldn't be sure of our seventy percent safety."Julius answered. "Ok, guys I want out! I mean I don't have any specific or special skills to be in this team apparently, I will only wish you guys luck! I can't even last three minutes on a ship without barfing and messing myself up, not to talk of a submerged submarine? I am an alpha by the way and for a reason, so yeah byeee!"O'Connor said as he stood up and briskly left the country yard, swinging his butt sideways with his hand dangling beside him and the other one in his pocket. "Good riddance dude."Henry muttered to himself. "Who else wants to use the door?"Julius asked but nobody said nothing, so he continued,

    Julius looked around and found out that most of us were freezing cold already and with what he was about to disclose, it was going to be a long night. Looking over at the hearth place, there was no woods to make fire. He brought out his key bunch and started, "There's a cellar down here through that door..."He said pointing at the door but Janet interrupted him,"There has been a cellar all along?" "Yes Janet, but unfortunately for you, it only stores woods for the hearth." "Oh c'mon!"Janet grunted in disappointment. Henry stood up and took the key from Julius and Linda accompanied him to get some woods for the hearth. Collins stood up and went to the bar to fill a glass for himself as we waited for the two."Make two please."Yuvonne requested and Collins came back to the sofa with two glasses and gave one to Yuvonne who smiled thankfully at him and started sipping."You know, Anthony was the only person that actually owned a phone in this place untill I saw you with one Helion
