AVA - CHAPTER 69&70
****************
Morning★
Gabriel, Emily and Ava dragged their bags headed to the airport.
After filling the necessary forms, they entered the plane.
After an hour the plane began moving on the taxi, Ava stared out from the window.
“Go back, don’t you dare step foot in here.” A voice yelled in her subconscious mind.
Her body shook fearfully but she shook the words away.
**********
The door pushed open and the three figures entered into the dark smelly room.
Mike opened the wooden window so the rays of the afternoon light will shine in.
“Am sorry, I should have cleaned here before bringing you guys bit I was scared of losing you.” Mike apologized and picked a broom.
“Don’t worry I’ll do it.” Evenly collected the brook without giving him chance to protest.
An hour later, the little room was sparkling clean, earlier mike had decided to busy himself preparing something for them.
They settled round the table and began eating.
“So when are they arriving here.” Johnsons paused on his food staring at Mike.
“Tomorrow or next tomorrow hopefully.” Mike made sure he ate a large amount of food before replying him.
“So what are our role?” Johnson asked.
“Wait until have confirmed when they are coming but for now you and your wife will stay indoor to avoid any suspicion, the kings and the gods eyes are aware of her homecoming and am sure they are doing everything possible to ruin the plan.” Mike replied tiredly.
All he wanted was to enjoy his meal and have enough rest, he had used up all his energy searching for them.
“Hmmmm….alright.” Johnson reluctantly replied and continued eating.
He gazed at his wide and she just shrugged understanding what he meant but what can she do… Is their child they’re talking about.
**********
“Have you confirmed her homecoming already?” Jake asked strolling into the throne room.
“There’s no need for confirmation your Highness.. I can feel it… She would soon step her feet into this kingdom.” Dracula raked his hands into his hair.
His eyes were dull and red and he has lost so much weight in just a day, ever since he foresee the homecoming of Ava, he had been having sleepless night.
He hardly eats, always deep in thought figuring out ways he could ki|| her.
“Don’t ki|| yourself before the girl even arrive.” Jake whined and sat down on his throne.
“What!” Dracula asked obviously deep in thought.
“Stop thinking too much, its affecting you.” Jake said.
“Why shouldn’t I think?, all my works and good deeds are about to go down the drain.” Dracula half yelled.
“Suit yourself then Mister, just don’t die in my palace.” He stood up and walked out.
Dracula stated at his retreating figure and sighed.
“Am worst.”
*************
Supreme Academy★
“I Can’t believe Ava is gone, like its like a dream to me.” Twinkle muttered trying hard to suppress the cry thr_@tening to pour down.
“Not again twinkle please.” Charlie cried tiredly.
Twinkle stated at him sighed. ” Am a burden to you right?, am the worst girlfriend ever right?, you h@?? me now because I cry too much?.” Twinkle burst out crying while charlie groaned frustratedly.
If there’s anything apart form tired then that’s what he’s. He hadn’t slept a wink since Ava left, all he does was comforting twinkle. His eyes were heavy and he feels terrible headache.
A slim figure walked into the academy heading straight to where they were.
She smiled as soon as she spotted Oliver and she hastened her footsteps.
“Hi twin brother.” She flashed a smile at him and his eyes widened in shock.
“What the hell is she doing here.” His mind screamed furiously.
**********
“Are we going to the village straightaway?” Ava asked excitedly.
They were currently in an hotel out the outskirt of the kingdom.
She has been staring wide eyed at the villages they passed, she couldn’t help but marvel at the sight seeing.
One could see her farce radiating with so much joy and her body felt a whole new peace she has never experienced before.
“No, we have to rest from the travel and plan how to go about it.” Gabriel said collecting the keys to their rooms.
They pulled their luggage and went upstairs, he unlocked the door and peered in.
“Ava you’ll be staying in here, don’t hesitate to call us if you need anything, okay?” Gabriel said and kisses her good night.
They walked to the next room and lodge.
Ava arranged clothes in the wardrobe before taking a cool shower.
She wasn’t feeling hungry so she laid on the bed trying hard to sleep.
“So what happens now?, an finally here?” She thought.
“Anyways I’d be sure to deal with wh@??ver the future holds for me all I know is am not gonna die is this place.” She muttered silently and pulled the cover over her face.
**********
Morning★
“Morning dad, mom.” Ava jumped into the rooms dancing.
They laughed.
“Guess your excited to visit your birth place right.” Emily said and she giggles nodding.
“Mom I can’t wait to see what my place looks like.’ She yelled jumping on the bed.
“Let’s go.” Gabriel said and they walked out of the room.
**********
PALACE★
Dracula rushed into the room like a chased lion.
“Your Highness.” He panted heavily.
“What’s all this?, do you want to ki|| yourself?” Jake shook his head.
“They’re here already and would be in the kingdom any moment from now, I have plan.” He said and moved closer to the king.
“Order the town crier to announce to the people they would be three strangers in the kingdom and they meant danger. If anyone sees them they should report to the palace immediately.” He suggested and Jake smoked widely.
He called the town crier and ordered him immediately.
“Also instruct the guards to patrol the kingdom in case they get to them first before the villagers.”
“And have got a bad news.” He said and sat down.
“Mike is awake fully, he’s very well involve in this case.”
“Don’t worry about him.” Jake said thoughtfully.
**********
“Emily I need you to go to the location of your former house and wait for them there, they’re going to trace the address to that place.” Mike said.
“Am going to target when they’re going to arrive in the kingdom and cause an heavy rain to fall so as to block Dracula and the king guards from getting to them first.” Mike said positioning himself.
“Johnson go with your wife or rather go into the streets and know what they are up to.” He instructed and they nodded.
**********
The bus stopped at the boundary and the passengers stepped down.
“Where do we go from here dad?” Ava stared confusedly at the surrounding.
Gabriel thought and followed a route into the kingdom, Immediately they stepped feet into the kingdom.
The cloud changed, everywhere became dark and the wind blew with a forceful might.
A drop of rain followed by a drizzle and in a matter of second there was an heavily downpour.
“What the hell?” Gabriel yelled searching for shelter.
*******
“What’s this again, rain???”Jake yelled furiously staring outside.
“Am sure this Mikes handwork, he has gotten wind of their arrival and decided to hold by commanding an heavy rain.” Dracula said thoughtfully.
Jake stares outside, the villagers were already packing their goods and stuff whilst finding for shelter.
In no time the while area was deserted, no sign of a single soul on the road except three white figures.
“Excuse me sir, we’re looking for…..” The words trailer off his mouth as he stared at the round figure in front of him.
“Johnson.” He smiled and immediately embraced him in a hug.
“I warned you not to come back here no matter what.’ Johnson said sternly.
“Am sorry but the even happening in our daughters needs an explanation.’ Emily said .
“Is this my biological dad?” Ava asked peering at the man in front of them. He looks old and shabishly dressed for her liking.
“Thus no time for talking, we’ve to go, the king and the gods eye knows you’re here and the palace guard are everywhere.” Johnson beckoned to them and they followed him to mikes house which was at the outskirt of the village.
Meanwhile Evenly had waited under the rain for their arrival but to no avail, seeing they won’t come, she left there and went home.
