Charles
"She use to sleep out with the cats, at nightfall." The middled age man informed us. And his wife nodded in agreement to this. They were the couple who had gone to report that they had seen Ruby.
"It wasn't her you saw. Ruby is allergic to cats. She doesn't even go close to them." I replied rising to my feet to leave. Fighting the urge not to slam my fist against a wall, repeatedly.
I clenched and unclenched my fists, ticking my jaw till it hurt.
Max motioned for me to wait.
"You just saw a homeless kid sleep out with your cats and you assumed it was his kid?" Max questioned them.He too was angry as I was, but he kept a straight face. Unlike me, he was good at schooling his anger. Because if he let's it get the best of him,

CharlesI was pissed. Max refused to let me have more than two bottles of beer. He had said he didn't want me to get drunk.He was a good friend and cared about my well-being, but that didn't stop from having this urge to continually punch him in the face."Give him a fruit juice like limeades with ice cubes in it. He needs it to cool his brain." Max told the bartender and I shot him a death glare."Stop doing this to yourself, man. Ruby would want you to be strong wherever she is. You're acting like shit.""You are shit." I insulted."You're making a big mess of yourself."I knew he was right, but I just ignored him. I was tired of repeatedly hearing such words.

Confusing the shit out of my senses.I heaved deeply, when I allowed my thoughts to flip over to Alex.At first the almighty Alex, had cried over what I had been through. It was the last thing I expected from him of all people. He was a hard man. Nothing moved him. He could be the meanest person ever. Always making use of harsh and hurtful words on

Plus the dogs were huge like horses, making people back away in fear.I was in their middle, holding their massive chains. My hair was in a messy bun at the top of my head. I hadn't had the time to shower or brush my hair.

When I was done, I gave my body a thorough washing, brushed my teeth, scrub and gave my tongue good lashing, before making use of the mouth wash.I stepped out when I felt human again, and wore a white rob which I discovered in the wardrobe and was towel drying my hair, humming along with the birds on the trees, when I heard a gunshot.I shuddered and the towel fell off my hands.What the hell just happened?Was that really a gun shot?I was contemplating on if it was really a gun shot, or it was something different, until I heard anot

AlexFlashback, Military Academy, Dopemu, Lagos, Nigeria. Thirteen years ago."If any one of you make an attempt to run away, because you're chicken enough to face difficulties, then good luck because you would be running through the forest, with no food or water for five days, and die of starvation or get eaten by wild animals." The captain that was dressed in a tailored button down black uniform, with a silver metallic barge at the pocket of his left breast, yelled at us the newbies.

To top it all, a giant forest.There was a straight colter road that led to the dorms, offices, training ground and the school, M

The more I stared at the tag on the door 'Sharks Dormitory' the more it felt like I wanted to enter a lion's den. I wasn't frightened, no. It was just that I was new here.
