Sky.
"Okay." I reluctantly let go of her wrist.
She seemed to want to leave me and get as far away from me as possible.
I don't know why but there's this unsettling feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach. Almost Like something big is about to happen but not just happen, but happen to Morowa.
But what? What could possibly happen?
I stopped when a clutter of students from the school stood at the reception desk.
Mrs. Jean, calling names from a clipboard held tightly in her hands which shook visibly.
Morowa.The world rocked beneath me, moving at the speed of a snail. Slow and steady.A throb decides to make itself known at the base of my head when the surface beneath me jerked, my head making a painful connection with a hard surface.My eyes refused to budge. I tried again but failed. Why won't my eyes cooperate with me?An occasional honk or yell from somewhere outside invade my ears and yet my body refused to respond."Take the girl." A gruff voice barked. Firm hands touched behind my knees. I felt like cringing but with my body still disconnected from my mind, I couldn't.The person start walking, the movements making my arms swing out of my control.Cold and sharp breeze slashed across my skin causing goosebumps. Fresh water and salt indicate we must be somewhere near a beach or river
"Should I send her up Sir?" She asked before backing it up with the statement that she could send her away if I wanted which caused my lips to be teased by a small smile. She knew just what to say to me.Seeing as there was no other way to avoid this meeting, I better just get it out of the way. "No, don't send get away, send her in, might as well deal with this and get it over with.""As you wish, Andre." She said before I placed the landline down.I had no words for her and if she was coming back for the same thing again then I was going to loose my mind. It was as simple as that.As expected, she didn't bother with a knock. Just barged in like this was her room."Hi handsome." She greeted with a deliberate low voice."What do you want?" I asked. I was in no mood for her schemes."What do you mean by 'what do I want
The cry of the mobile which was placed in a sloppy manner on the centre table, sliced through the thick and silent air of my room. No matter how much I tried to add personal touches to this room, it just never suited my style."Sapphire here.""Have you gone ahead with the plan?" He inquired not bothering to seek after my well being. I wiped the moisture which had escaped from my eyes. This shouldn't have affected me so much but it did."Yes.""Good, keep me updated on your progress." He hung up like I was one of the impersonal workers at the manor.All seventeen years of my existence were and still are spent trying top get him to acknowledged me. Anyt
Devin.There was one person and only one person who wore it. That one person I never got to reveal myself to. Never said hi. Why? All because I was afraid she wouldn't accept me? Thinking about it now, what a lame excuse. Fear of rejection.The crushed white carbon bags only confirmed my suspicions. She was taken against her will. From the looks of it, she was caught unaware. I was sure she might have fought and tried to escape but whoever took her had carefully planned this all out.How could a girl be kidnapped in a public place and no one came to her rescue? Maybe their silences were bought? It was quiet possible that they were threatened into silence. All this wondering wasn't bringing any good to the low ache at the back of my head.It was artfully crafted but they also seemed dumb to me because right there on the walkway in broad daylight and
Warren.Mouths and rage held in thin check, the entire grade gathered around the reception area murmuring away about one thing or the other.It didn't take long before the view of the figures of Crescent, standing alongside Ken who swiped away at the screen of his phone absentmindedly. Kris and another cheerleader just stood off to the side, looking indifferent but making frequent eye contact in some form of silent communication. Others stood a bit away from the group which made them easy to spot. Mrs. Jean, clipboard clutched tightly in her port arms, called a name once in a while to get a response from the said student."So why did the teachers call for a head count?"Kris's head turned in my direction at the sound of my voice but quickly turned away to offer a small smile to her 'friend'.Ken's shoul
Morowa."Rise and shine sweetheart." Ocean pulled me out of my sleep.My eyes open to meet a straight face void of any emotion. Stormy eye with a faint shadow of what could have been a past full of happiness. A single scar running from the side of his left eyebrow almost to the corner of his mouth and face tanned like a cowboy."Are you ready for the next agenda on your list?""Just get me water please." I didn't bother acting angry because angry didn't even explain half of what I felt.I can see. How am I seeing without my glasses? Miracle? Oh, that can't be the miracle. What I needed was a path, a way to leave this place no matter how little, that was all I needed. A way. An opportunity.Ocean returned. I didn't realize he had even left. He crouched again and offered the glass of water to me. My eyes scan the glas
She trudged along the streets, her full figured frame attracted a lot of eyes but she merely flipped the looks off. Deep hues of pink, orange and red mixed together representing the beginning of the end of another day.She just hoped he was willing to see her. This meeting had been scheduled as a result of her own nerves which had gone haywire with the news she had gotten from her sources earlier today.With a rod straight back, she pushed the double glass doors and breezed into the company, making her way to the reception desk. Not a single pair of eyes had left her when she made her entry.That was the thing about this meeting she had been trying to avoid. Attention. Attention she didn't need.Standing at a few in
The small flames, appeared and disappeared with the click of the button in the little dangerous device in my palms. Just one little light was all it took before everything it touched came down in ashes. So small yet to powerful. "Yes, Sapphire is pregnant."But she had looked so nonchalant about it when she had told me that day. I could remember all too well the way her eyes held hostility towards me. Her mouth saying one thing and her body saying something entirely different."I'm lost. But you were so sure she wasn't pregnant earlier. What happened to that?""Relax Mr. E—""My name is Warren. How many times have I got to say that. I'm nothing like my father." I
