AVA - CHAPTER 43&44
★★
They travelled all nights,their feet’s dragged slowly and weekly but steadily through the ground until they got to the academy.
They travelled through out the night and got there in the early hours of the morning.
The academy was quiet and peaceful, there was no noise or any sign of a living soul which was unusual.
“Something looks odd,the academy is dead silent.” Dylan said as soon as they came closer and the others nodded.
“By this time they should have been out preparing for. practice .” Henry supported.
They pushed open the gate and walked in. There was no single living soul.
Everywhere was deserted. The environment itself look dull, dirty and messy. The grasses were grown that were almost the sane height with the average tallest person.
This was unlike them.
Master Ashley flicked his fingers at the grasses and with a twinkle of an eyes,it disappeared making way for them.
“I don’t think there’s a soul here.” Twinkle said.
The boys sped through different entrance into the academy while the rest continued walking to the main entrance.
They soon came out and met them about to enter in.
“There’s no one in the academy,the student,mistress,maid,master no one.” Oliver said panting. He took a deep slow breath and filled his aching lungs.
“Master I checked through all the rooms and office and they were all messed up. It seems they were attacked.” Jerry said.
Master Seth grunted and looked at master Ashley and he nodded knowingly.
“Let’s go inside and settle down first.” Master Seth said walking in with Ava who laid motionlessly at his back.
“Master do you know where they are?” Harley asked and he nodded with a groan. She nodded and left.
They got inside and with a flick of each finger or wave of their palms,the students tidied up the academy.
Master Seth and Ashley took Ava to the clinic and reconnected the oxygen tanks to her body.
All through the night he had used his powers sustaining her and only heavens knows how weak and tired he’s. Now he has to go look for his remaining people.
“Am so dead today.” He muttered sadly heaving a sigh. Ashley who heard him came close and embraces him a hug patting his shoulders lightly.
“You are not in this alone okay?” He told him and Seth smiled hugging him back.
He came back and met the student waiting for him.
“Ovartz was the one who kidnapped them.”
“Master what we going to do?, if she knows we are coming, she’s going to hurt them.” Henry said thoughtfully.
“Only the people who had mastered the Invisible Power would go along with me.”
“Harley,Amelia,Henry,Dylan,Eddie has mastered the power perfectly, so they would be coming with me.” Seth said staring at them.
“Master……….” Oliver called standing up.
“Oliver you’re healed fully so you can’t go with me, i need you to support Charlie and jerry to take care of the academy.” He said and Oliver nodded reluctantly.
“At least I have a chance to bee with my heart.” He thought happily.
“Dylan and Amelia would be in charge of releasing the students. Once you’ve released Mistress Freya and Alexandrea,let them help you in releasing the others.”
“I and the rest will distract Ovartz until you’re done, is that understood?” He asked and they nodded.
“And you all here don’t forget Ava, always check up on her in the clinic and take proper care of her.” And with that he walked outside while the student remained and hugged each other wishing themselves Good luck.

★Ovartz Condo★
Shadows appeared at the place,swiftly and quietly heads rolled on the floor.
They successful cleared the entrance,Seth gave the two a sign and they disappeared to the prison.
“How do we get them out of here?” Amelia asked tiredly,her voice quavering.
Using the invisible powers was a suicide mission.
They had to do everything quickly because it was draining off their energy.
‘Do you feel tired already?” Dylan asked worriedly looking at her.
“Am exhausted, my energy has been drained completely.” She said weakly.
“I’ll go and bring them out and then we’ll leave here.” He said and she nodded.
He disappeared in and they began murmuring happily. “It’s senior Dylan, he’s here to rescue us.” Dorathy said and he smoked sweetly at them that they couldn’t help but wonder if it was their Dylan or an angel in disguise.
“Keep your voice down or else you’ll attract their attentions here.” He said.
They all held hands and he tried disappearing with them but it was to no avail.
“You must be so exhausted to the extent you can’t use the invisible power.” Alexandrea said.
“I am more than exhausted but I’ll get you all out of here.” He said and with a loud grunt he got them out.
Amelia who had been waiting for then heaved a sigh of relief as soon as they came out.
“Dorathy can you communicate to master Seth telling him we are out of danger and we are heading towards the river.” Dylan said and she nodded.

“My Lady” May yelled frantically running at top speed into the chamber. “Some people attacked us using the invisible portion and they’ve nearly wiped everyone. As am speaking to you they’re heading towards here.” May said panting heavily.
“What are you waiting for you fool,pack the gold and valuable items.” She yelled pacing about.
They packed everything and headed to the secret door.
Ovartz opened the door and entered,may tried following her in but she got pushed and Ovartz closed the door.
“My Lady please don’t leave me at the hands of this merciless people.” May yelled begging. She sat down there crying.
Meanwhile Ashley and Seth had gotten to the chamber and met it empty.
They searched everywhere still no sign of her.
“I think she has fled.” Ashley said and Seth nodded.
“Master Seth we are out of danger and heading towards the river” came the quiet voice of Dorathy.
“Come let’s go,they are heading to river peace already.” Master Seth said and walked out.

★River peace★
They all arrived there and sat down at the rocks which graced the river surrounding beautifully awaiting master Seth and the others.
Suddenly there was a loud devilish laughter and they immediately looked at the direction the noise was coming from to see it was Ovartz.
“Do you think y’all can escape my wrath?” She asked walking majestically towards them.
“All thanks to Seth,I can finish you all at once.” She said drawing out her sword.
“Stay back.” Dylan said and drew out his sword.
The two jammed their swords together and began fighting.
The fight was so intense that they feared Dylan would lose because he was tired already.
She hit him hardly that he lost balance and fell weakly to the floor.
She raised her sword and took a step closer to him.
Dylan stared fearfully at her and said a silent departing prayer.
Just as she was about to hit him,a sword from nowhere hit her on her chest.
She fell down on her knees gasping for breath,they all turned slowly to look at their saviour.
The figure slowly approached them and stood in front of Ovartz.
“May?” She called surprised. If anyone had told her may would do this,she wouldn’t have believed it.
“My lady,I never knew you could be this mean,wicked and heartless.” May spat angrily.
“Save me may and I promise to give you half of my property.” She begged.
May bend down and drew out the sword from her chest and she screamed painfully.
“May what are you doing?” She asked as the pain shot through her. She felt her life slipping out of her.
“To hell with you and your property.” And with that may chopped off her head from her neck. It rolled in a pool of blood.
She stared at the lifeless body of Ovartz and for the first she felt foolish….. Foolish that she trusted and serve this woman but she wickedly left her at the mercy of death.
Master Seth and the others rushed in and saw the scene.
“Are you all okay?” He asked worriedly.
“She saved us from her.” Amelia said hiccuping at the bloody sight.
“Let’s leave.” Seth said ignoring May.
“Please can I come with you.” May asked. “I don’t have anywhere to go.”
“Yea,you can come with us.” Ashley blurted out immediately and Seth stared at him.
“Uhhhhm.” He cleared his throat. “She is beautiful…. I mean she’s great…she saved them.” Ashley stuttered convincingly.
Seth stared briefly at him then nodded. “She can come with us.” And with that he walked away while they followed behind.
