Andrew stood up from the armchair which he had been sleeping on. He signaled me to keep quiet. Without him telling me to do so, I would have. The tension was a enough to keep me quiet. I could hear hear talking down stares but I could not make any sense of their articulations but when I tried to leave the bed,Andrew signalled me not to. "I need to know what is going on down stairs" he said to me before opening the door carefully to prevent it from any noise. I had scary thoughts occupying my mind. Perhaps the mysterious man from Gefta had traced us to this village.After Andrew left the room, there was silence and then I heard some persons laughing downstairs. The laughter seemed unsuspicious but it was quite disturbing for people to come together only to chatte at such an hour of the night. I slipped off from the bed and went to the door. My hands were on the door knob when it came to my mind that Andrew might have been in danger notwithstanding the laughter. I shrugged the tho

I could still remember my father's baritone voice as he sang his favourite song every morning while he prepared for work. The aroma of freshly made breakfast made by my lovely mother would fill the house and it would be one happy moments after another. My little family which comprised of my father,my mother and I looked symbolized a beautiful and strong house whose foundation was placed on a solid rock never to be destroyed by high tides or strong wind. This was what I always imagined. We had so much peace and I could never imagine for once that anything would separate us. Everything had happen too suddenly for my comprehension that I felt so lost and unguarded. I sighed when I rem

My mother pulled me closer to herself. It was obvious that she did not want the man to get hold of me."We are not leaving the house" my mother had replied. As a little kid,it made me wonder why my mother would lie. She had instilled the moral values that lying was a very bad thing. I knew at once that we were in a difficult situation because I could not think k of any other reason why she would lied. Definitely, she was trying to shield both of us from some thing."Well if that be the case,you and your little girl are coming with me" declared the man with an air of authority.

"Father I have missed you" I said as I walked up to him to embrace him. He did not stop me neither did he return the hug. He was still surprised as at how I was able to find my way home."Where have you been? Why did you run away?" He questioned" It is a long story but is this how you wish to welcome me?" I asked him. I expected him to be happy to see me and to be glad that I was safe."Well you are welcome my dear" he said to me. He took my hands in his but that surprised expression was still on his face." Tell me,how have you been?" He asked."For now I am fine" came my reply."What do you mean by " for now'he questioned giving me a stern look." I am here now and there is so much I wish to tell you about. Father,you look stressed out". I pointed out to him after noticing the few wrinkles that had set in on his face. He look Ed emaciated and he had eye bags. It made me feel worried.Something must have really stressed

"It is a long story. You should not worry about it" he said to me.I wanted to know more. It was something I had least expected. Why was he hiding her if she was his wife and why did it have to be in John's house. I was yet to know what connected John to alpha Roland."How did your uncle know Alpha Franklin?" I asked." These questions are too much for me to answer. Let it be,it had nothing at all to do with you"Andrew said as he placed hold of my hands. He wanted me to follow him back into the house. The questions were things he did not want to answer. I resisted him and he turned to look at him."Is John in danger?" I asked as I became scared if my own assumption.,"Not at all Yennifer" came Andrew's response." Then what business does he have with Alpha Roland? You told me that once a person starts relating with the Gefta pack,his life will be doomed for destruction. Didn't you?" I said to him as I watched his reaction.
