SOMEWHERE IN RUSSIA***
Freya place the hydrangea flowers ontop of her brother’s grave.
The grave looked old, indicating that his death happen a long time ago.
“Br..bro…Brother”. Freya stuttered breaking into tears.
“Am sorry, am so sorry for visiting you now, I have no idea that you were longed dead, am sorry Travis, am sorry”. Freya said crying non-stop.
Megan sighs and squats beside her.
“Come here”. She said calmly, hugging Freya.
“My brother died because of me, he died and yet I couldn’t come to see him, is all my fault, I shouldn’t have light up a candle that day”. Freya said crying.
“Is okay Freya, let it all out”. Megan said patting her slowly, as Freya cries her eyes out.
***
“Here you go”. Megan said giving Freya a can of soda.
Freya smiles lightly and takes it from her.
“How’re you feeling now”. Megan asked.
“Am a little bit okay, atleast I was able to visit him”. Freya said cleaning her tears.
Megan sits beside her.
“What about Gatsby”.
“I don’t want to talk about him”.
“Are you still mad at him, he made have lied to you for a decade, but you can’t change the fact that he saved you and loved you like a sister”.
“Exactly, that’s why I can face him”.
“Meaning”.
“For good ten years have always looked up to him as my big brother, I loved him so much like a big brother, and all of a sudden, he drop the bombshell that we aren’t related, and that he loves me, how am I supposed to react to it, I don’t know if I can be comfortable around him like I use to, I can no longer sleep in the same room with him anymore, cos his now the opposite s*x, and not my brother”. Freya said crying.
“It still doesn’t change anything Freya, his still the Gatsby you know”.
“I don’t know what to think anymore Megan, right now, I don’t want to see or speak about him, a lot is going on in my head right now, and I don’t want to add to it”.
“Alright Freya, let’s stop talking about Gatsby for now”.
Freya smiles.
“Thanks alot Megan, your the best, even if I acted cranky the first time we met, your still here for me, thanks you Megan”.
“Is nothing Freya, anyone who gets to know you, will enjoy your company”.
Freya smiles.
“Can I call you big sis”.
“Huh, why”.
“Your five years older than me Megan, isn’t that the perfect number to call someone big sis”.
“That’s true, I guess having a tiny little body is really deceiving me this days, I mean take a look at you, one will think we’re of thesame age”. Megan said.
Freya laughs.
“So can I call you…
“No, just call me sis, let’s remove the big”.
Freya laughs.
“Alright sis”.
There, that’s much better than big sister, we should be heading back now, Lennox is waiting in the car, and I don’t want my skylight to die from hypertension”. Megan said.
“Your so funny”. Freya said laughing.
“Should I open a Comic Company then”. Megan asked as both walked towards the car.
“Yes you should big sis”.
“Sis, or you won’t call me that anymore”.
“Or maybe I should just call you ma’am”. Freya said and took to her heels laughing.
“Freya!!” Megan halfyells going after her.

SOME DAYS LATER= TRAINING ARENA***
“Hi Tornado”. Spooky said to Tornado, who was busy training.
His sticky hair falls down his eyes, giving him the cute boy look.
“Hey”. He said and continues practicing.
Spooky looks at him and takes in her lower lip.
“I just wanted to say am sorry”.
“For what exactly”. He asked dropping the sword he was holding.
“You know….For everything I have done to Sophia, I did it out of jealousy and am really sorry”.
“I wasn’t the one you and Braxton hurt Spooky, it was innocent Sophia, not me”.
“I know that Tornado, and even if I want to, she won’t believe me, she’d think am faking it”.
“You can’t blame her Spooky, you and Braxton are deceitful”.
“And that’s why am apologizing to you instead of her, atleast you might believe am being sincere”.
Tornado chuckles.
“And why do you think I will believe you”.
“Cos we both came to this mob thesame day, I was your very first friend remember, you befriended me because you and I were both newbies here, have you forgotten”.
Tornado smiles.
“But everything changed when I became friends with Braxton, you began distancing yourself from me”.
“Can you blame me you….”
“I’ll really appreciate it if you don’t say it, I know is a bit late, but am trying to change, I might still be friends with Braxton, but it doesn’t mean I’ll continue following her footsteps”.
“Is your call then”.
“I can talk to you anytime I want right”. Spooky asked.
Tornado looks at her and slightly nods.
“Thanks Tornado, and you should confess your feelings for her”.
Tornado looks at her.
“You once told me your heads over heels inlove with Sophia right, you should let her know about your feelings, Sophia is beautiful, fragile and cute too, you both are perfect for each other”.
“Spooky about….”
“Am trying to get rid of my feelings for you Tornado, is going to be hard cos I love you so much, but still am going to give letting go, a try”.
“Thanks Spooky”.
Spooky smiles and Tornado returns the smile slightly.
After Spooky left, Sophia enters the training arena.
“Sophi”. He calls her excitedly.
“Here”. Sophia said with a black face, giving him the chips she made.
“Is everything okay Sophi”. He asked and Sophia looks at him.
“Everything is fine”. She said trying to leave, but Tornado, spinned her, making her face him.
“What’s wrong Sophi”. He asked caressing her cute face.
Sophia looks at him and looks somewhere else wearing a sad face.
“You can talk to me, who made you sad”.
“You”.
“Me….How”.
“I came here earlier and I saw you and Spooky talking, you even smiled at her”. Sophia said with a sad face.
Tornado smiles.
“Is it funny to you”. She asked hitting his chest, to her it was a powerful hit, but it turns out to be a slight hit.
“Sorry I smiled, is just that your too cute when your jealous”.
“And who told you am jealous”.
“Then what with the sad cute face for, if you weren’t jealous”. Tornado said wrapping his hands around her slim waist.
She got a slender waist like Megan, just that Megan got a more slender waist, since she’s tiny.
“I just…I…. just….Am not jealous”.
Tornado smiles and kiss her lips softly, he broke the kiss and cupped her face.
“There’s nothing to be jealous about, Spooky only came to me because she’s sorry for what she did to you”.
“Then why is she apologizing to you instead of me, I was the one who got hurt”.
“She’s afraid to go close to you, and I doubt your going to believe her, if she apologized to you”.
“That’s a bonus then”.
Tornado smiles.
“Why’re you the only one here”. She asked looking around.
“Am training for our next mission”.
“Why’re you the only one training Tornado”. She asked.
“You may not know this, but am the least fighter here”.
“Really, are you saying Fallon fights more than you, but she was brought into the clan just two years ago, you were in this clan before her”.
“If it went that way, Gatsby would have been a better fighter than Ace”.
“Ahaa, I get it, you both are lazy fighters who only knows how to f_ck around”.
“Says someone who can’t even ki|| a fly”.
“Your not directing that to me right”. Sophia said pointing at herself.
“What if I’m”.
Sophia frowns.
“Your making fun off me”. She pouted sadly, adding to her cuteness.
Tornado laugh.
“Is not my fault am weak, am just a girl with no knowledge of where am from, or who I’m, or if I have a brother, sister or parents somewhere, it’s somehow sad anytime I think about it”.
“But you have made new memories here, haven’t you”.
Sophia smiles.
“Yes I have, I got a to know Tornado and I also got to be friends with Jupitar and Fallon and also the boss too, who said I should come to him anytime I need something”. Sophia said smiling.
“You can also come to me anytime you need something too”.
“I can”.
“Yes Sophia, I may not be rich as the boss, but I can boost of giving you anything you want”.
“Really”. She asked smiling.
Tornado nods.
“I’ll look forward to that then”. Sophia said smiling cutely.
Tornado smiles, caressing her hair.
******
Fallon runs around the compound of the mob, although she hasn’t recovered from the painful words Kent told her, but she was still trying to put on a smiling face, especially when she’s with Megan and Jupitar.
*Am going to forget about you Kent, am going to get rid of feelings for you*. Fallon said inwardly, as she ran.
Her legs joined together, and she falls to the ground, hurting her knee.
“Ouch”. She mutttered in pain.
*I don’t love you Fallon*. Kent’s voice echoes in her ears.
She sniffs back her tears, trying to stand up, when someone held her leg, looking at her wound.
“It so deep, does it hurt”. His soothing voice ask.
“Who’re you”. Fallon asked, trying to see his face, since his face was buried in her knees.
He raised his head up and looks at her with a charming smile.
“Am Chevy, your Prince charming”. He said and winks at her, smiling enchantingly.
Fallon gulps down hard, as she stared at the handsome Adonis in front of her.
Her heart got whipped immediately.
