3. The master's visit

               Saphira's POV

"But how were you able to catch me within such short period of time?" I asked confused..

"I don't know how it happened" 

"Wait! That means you have the ability to super speed" I exclaimed..

"Really? I think that's a mistake" he shrugged.

"You wouldn't know if you don't try give it a try"

"Okay" He started running slowly and all of a sudden his speed increased to that of a lightning.

He ran around the house,giggling as he super speed around us..

"Whaoooh! It's fun" He yelled in excitement.

"Can you stop that?" Mum scolded and he stopped abruptly.

"Don't forget that no one must find out about your powers and you're not allowed to make use of them until when the appointed time comes"she added..

"Okay mum!" We chorused.

"Go to your rooms,I will go prepare dinner" mum said and walked out

"Saphira..I'm.sorry...I didn't mean to hurt you" kizito turned to me as soon as mum left.

"But you did kizito..what's wrong with you? How could you harbor such negative thoughts?" I asked.

"I'm really sorry Saphira...I was the one that hurt you but instead of telling mum you covered up for me. How could I think of hurting my own sister,I'm really ashamed of myself " 

"It's okay..No matter what happens,just know that we are siblings for life" 

"Sure" He replied and we giggled. 

Kizito might be rude and arrogant with other girls but he doesn't joke with me..

I remembered how he nearly killed one weird dude who wanted to take advantage of me..

"Are you still interested in going to the party?" He asked. 

"No! I have had enough drama for today. I'll attend the party some other time" 

"Okay I will go get ready for my party" 

                

              Sofia's POV

We have a lot of helpers in the house but I prefer cooking for my family for security reasons..

I entered the kitchen to prepare dinner for the family but I couldn't concentrate..

My children are gradually discovering their powers and this can put them in danger..

I just wanted a peaceful family,why is this happening to me?

I know that I promised to let Saphira fulfill her call but I'm scared..

What if she gets killed?

How can I let my precious Saphira to go fight demons? It's absurd..

I was still lost in my thoughts when I suddenly felt a hand wrapped around my waist,making me to flinch.

I turned back and it was Jun pyo. 

"It's you! You startled me" 

"And what's troubling my beautiful wife" Jun pyo asked..

"Its nothing" I lied..

"I know you, something is definitely troubling you. What is it?" He worriedly asked and cupped my face.

"I'm worried about Saphira,her powers are beginning to manifest.. Could it be that the appointed time is near? "

"Why are you getting yourself all stressed up? What will be, will be and there's nothing you can do about that."

"But...

"Let's don't discuss about that..Since the children are not here I would like to spend some time alone with my wife" he said caressing my face..

"Stop it jun pyo..what if someone sees us?" I blushed.

"I don't care if they sees us. All I want now, is to romance my wife" he said and crash his lips on mine..

I kissed him too,enjoying the moment..

"Ewwwwww! Can't you guys do this in your room" Mirabel suddenly said..

We quickly broke from the kiss.

Omg! My children are here.

This is so embarrassing. 

"Two old love birds" kizito teased..

"Your mother is really attractive..I can't seem to take my eyes off her" jun pyo said and they all burst out laughing..

"Mum is even blushing like a seventeen year old girl" Saphira teased.

"Why are you guys making fun of your mother? come here I will teach you all a lesson" I said,running after them as we ran around the house. 

         

        *****

Today looks cloudy, it's as if it is gonna rain anytime soon.

The kids has already left for school,even jun pyo had gone to work. So I was only the one at home.

Suddenly,the house became dark.

I wasn't alarmed because I was informed that Lord Andrew will be visiting today,but I wasn't expecting him now..

The darkness gradually cleared away revealing Lord Andrew and some of his cabinet members.

I quickly glanced at the helpers and as usual Lord Andrew had put them into deep sleep..

"Greetings my Lord! It's a pleasure to have you in my house" I said with a slight bow..

"I'm not here for pleasantries.I'm worried about what's to happen" He calmly said.

Lord Andrew is the current leader of our clan. He's a good leader who had been ruling the fallen Angels for years now. Although he's a bit strict, he always makes sure that peace and tranquility reigns in the kingdom.

"What could be troubling my Lord?" 

"When the sheep is endangered and his shepherd is in oblivion,the sheep's cry for help is in vain" He said pacing to and fro.

"You speak in parables my Lord. I don't seem to comprehend what you're saying"

"The divine bell in our kingdom has signified that destruction is about to befall the earth..its time to tell the chosen one about it,before it's too late" He finally dropped the bombshell.

No! This can't be happening.

"But.uhm.." I stuttered but he cut me off.

"Looking through your heart,I can see you're worried..But you have to do this for humanity sake,don't let your emotions control you" He said and I slightly bowed my head in sadness.

"You have to do this Sofia. We will be waiting for you" he echoed and vanished with others following suit.

I let out a deep breath. 

Poor Saphira! She doesn't even know what awaits her.

After a while,the helpers got up not knowing what had happened to them.

"What are you guys waiting for? Go back to your duties" I yelled,pouring my frustration on them.

           Sapphira's POV 

The school bell finally rung..

"Thank goodness! It's school over" I muttered and heaved a sigh.

Today's lecture was boring. 

I woke up this morning with a strange urge to visit the sea shore.

I couldn't go because of my lectures.

But I think this is the best time to. Luckily, there's one close to my school.

I picked up my school bag and made to leave when I noticed that someone was behind me.

I turned back and it was my annoying bodyguard.

"You!" I flinched back.

"Where are you going to" She asked blinking her eyes.

"It's none of your business. I'll be going out for a while but I'll be back soon. Wait for me here" I hoarsed and turned to leave.

" I'm sorry miss but I can't do that"

I scoffed. "Who the hell do you think you are to go against my wish?"

"I was employed by your mum and I follow only her orders" She calmly replied.

" Tsh! I can't believe this" 

There's no need arguing further with her. I'm sure she won't let me leave alone.

What should I do?

I was still pondering on what to do when I heard a familiar voice.

"Saphira! What are you doing here?" 

I turned back. Kizito!

"Thank goodness you're here." I let out a deep breath. "I want to go to the sea shore but my bodyguard won't let me go" I said.

"Why do you want to go to the sea shore? "

"I don't know. I just feel like going there today" I shrugged .   " Please come with me, I don't want to go with my annoying bodyguard" 

" Huh? I am busy" 

"Pleaseeeeeee" I held unto his arm with a pouted lip.

"Fine!" He turned to my bodyguard "We will be going out for a while. Tell mum I took my sister out" Kizito said and walked out.

"Thanks! " I giggled and followed suite.

We entered into kizito's car and drove off.
