AVA - CHAPTER 67&68
*************
RED FLAME KINGDOM★
Dracula walked briskly to the palace whilst ignoring the greetings.
He was in deep thoughts that he hardly noticed what’s going on,his mind was angered and bitter at the same time.
“No way a girl from nowhere will come take my glory…something i have been working for so many years now.” He muttered to himself.
“Greeting the gods eye.” Jaja greeted bowing slightly.
Dracula just nodded before walking into the palace. He met the king seated majestically on he throne.
“Greetings your highness.” Dracula said and sat down on the floor crossing his legs.
“What a pleasant surprise.” King Jake beamed a smile at him. “What can I offer you?”
“My king this is no time for eating and laughing, there’s fire on the mountain.” Dracula said frowning.
“Whats the mater?, what’s did you see?” He asked worriedly he knows Dracula very well, he doesn’t joke with his stomach, so him refusing to eat is seriously alarming.
“Is about the child Johnson and Evenly gave birth to, I told you she’s trouble. Wh@??ver way we need to eliminate her before she gets the people attention.” Dracula said.
“Is that why your face is like this?, have you forgotten who am I?” He laughed and Dracula only shake his head.
“Let’s eat and merry, her homecoming will give us a perfect chance to finally eliminate her.” King Jake said and Dracula fade immediately light up.

AMERICA* JOHNSON HOME*
The door creaked and a petite figure came in, she looked at the silent house and there was no sign of any living being.
Immediately her subconscious mind told her that they were asleep.
She quietly tiptoed to her room so as not to wake them up.
She dropped her bags and laid on the bed, she was feeling restless as she kept tossing about on the bed.
I miss the academy already, how are they faring? Do they miss me too?, will Oliver move on?
“Well, there’s nothing I can do other to fulfill this destiny of mine and go back.” Se thought before pulling the sheet up.
Didn’t take long for before nature took it course.
**********
The cool wind blew with a cool ease one which touch the soul and heart as if conveying a message.
A red haired sat by the river staring at the waves crashing against each other, his mind far way, his heart and soul battling with many thoughts.
On his pale arm was a drink, beside it was two empty bottle… You could say he has drank himself to stupor but his mind was intact.
He just sat still staring at the river at an unseen figure whilst he was drinking slowly, This is what Oliver has been doing since he escorted Ava.
“I can’t believe am missing her already.” He cried emptying the content into his mouth.
“Do you think Ava would be happy if she knows this is what you’re doing?” Charlie asked coming behind me.
“For crying out loud, its barely hours she left and you’re a mess.” He groaned and sat beside him.
“What!!!, two bottles???, Oliver are you in your right sense?” Charlie asked staring wide eyed at him.
“Do I look like am in my right sense?, it sure left since my heart walked away?” Oliver said sadly.
“I know how you feel Oliver but you have to be strong, believe me Ava is going to come back.” Charlie said patting him.
“I hope so because I can’t live without her.” Oliver said.
Charlie wrapped his arm around and tried helping him up but a Oliver free himself.
“Am not drunk okay, am fine and I can walk myself.” Oliver said and stood up, charlie paused and stared at him.
Oliver walked perfectly fine heading to the academy whilst Charlie followed behind.
**********
She sped through the forest into a dark scaring cave. She could have sworn it has existed since the world was created.
She paused as she stared at the surrounding, there was only a low stool in the cave, it was silent as a grave yard.
“You could arrive here in a seconds if not for your body which has been accustomed to civilization.” A young white haired woman came out from the opposite cave.
‘Who are you and what are you saying?” Ava asked staring at the strange woman.
“I should be asking you, you’re in my territory.” She said settling down on the low stool. A white staff was in arms.
“I don’t know who you’re but what I know is I don’t know why am I here, I just found myself here.” She said
“Ava I must warn you, if you love your life,don’t dare step your foot back in kingdom.” She said .
“I don’t know how you know my name but if coming back to my kingdom means a lot of trouble for you, then expect me because am not backing down until I fulfill this destiny of mine.” Ava said glaring hard at her.
“Hahahahaha!!!” Elizabeth laughed boisterously. Her face turned red, her veins popping out.
“Then let’s see how you get out of here.” She laughed maniacally staring at her.
Ava tried taking a step but discover she can’t move, her feet was heavy and she felt powerless and lifeless.
She struggled vehemently to free herself but all to no avail, at every second that ticked she was feeling weak.
She began suffocating and she stop struggling, all her mind was thinking is how to survive…to breathe.
Meanwhile the young woman watched her intently not failing to entertain herself with the scene in front of her.
“Arrrrrrgggghhhh!!!!” Ava screamed as she everywhere went blank.
She woke up panting heavily, her heart beat thudding loudly, she stared at her new surrounding and a smile crept on her face.
“What the hell was that?, is that part of what am going to face?, I feel like dying.” She cried hitting her fist on the sheets.
She heard some loud chattering outside, she turned and opened the curtains, rays of sunlight hit her face and she Mõ@?ed.
“Its morning that means Dad and Mom are awake.” She smiled and jumped down from the bed.
She flexed her muscles and did some body exercise, she put her on her flip flop before opening the door.
She traced their voice to the kitchen, she tip toed quietly behind them.
“Am back.” She yelled and they jumped up.
“Ava.” Emily screamed out and Ava jumped on her.
“Moi baby, i missed you so much, when did you come back?” Emily asked kissing her all over her face.
“Last night, you guys had gone to bed and I didn’t want to disturb you so I went to bed.” She said and stared at their father.
She made baby faces at him. “I won’t greet you daddy” she said and he laughed.
“Go back to where you’re coming from,I didn’t miss you.” Gabriel’ said and faced the other said folding his hands below his chest.
Ava laughed and hugged him. ” I missed you daddy.” She said she hugged her back.
“Mom, there’s a problem…”
“We know, we received the message and you know what.” Emily said walking towards the kitchen.
“What mom!!!” Ava asked.
“Well be going to your birth country, we would put an end to this drama that has been existing in your life.” Gabriel said and she nodded.
“When are we leaving?”
“Next tomorrow, we need to pack a lot of stuff and prepare for the future.” Emily said carrying a tray containing their breakfast.
“……..don’t you ever dare step foot in the kingdom or else.” The words rang in her heart and she shook her head.
“You can’t scare me.” She said and joined her mom in dishing the breakfast.
