SCARS - CHAPTER 11&12
Prince Ampah’s chamber
A soldier pushed Alessia inside the chamber and she stumbled and hurt her elbow. She stood up and walked to his bed side.
He was so black with green veins boldly displayed on his body.
She jointed her palms together and closed her eyes. She muttered some magical words as her hairs stood erect.
Red smokes escaped her palm and penetrated into the body of the prince. He began convulsing on his bed as the healing took place.
“Shangaruitaruita!!” She muttered her magical words.
The healing went on for some time.
Prince Ampah body changed back to it’s normal colour and Alessia stopped.
“You’ll be fine” She said and touched his forehead. His eyes opened.
“So it’s you… he’s you…uhmm…me I…oh my head” Prince Ampah mumbled as he smiled insanely.
Alessia placed her hand on his eyes and he slept off.
“Get well soon” She smiled and left his chambers.

SHUNGA Market
Princess Charlotte walked into the market with soldiers trolling behind and before her. She had a fancy hand fan which she used in fanning herself stylishly.
People started running away cause of the havoc she usually caused whenever she goes to the market.
She was bored at the palace and decided to stroll at the market.
The traders and the buyers stood still,no one moved an inch till she was out of sight.
She walked over to an apple shade and took one red apple.
The seller couldn’t say anything,she only bowed her head fearfully.
Princess Charlotte took a bite and spat it out angrily.
“Yuck so tasteless!” She said rolling her eyes.
Since the apples was on a tray she pushed the tray down and the entire apples rolled into the muddy waters.
The seller started crying.
Princess Charlotte moved further frustrating the sellers and throwing their goods away.
A young girl of eight years had a tray of mangoes on her head. Princess Charlotte bent over and took one.
“Hey it’s for sale,not free!!” The little girl yelled and everyone’s eyes opened.
“I beg your pardon young lady” Princess Charlotte replied peeling out the back of the mango.
“You thief pay me my money!” She yelled clinging to the dress of the princess.
“How dare you pre-matured embryo” Princess Charlotte slapped her hands off.
“Do you know who I am?” She asked the little girl and she shaked her head.
“Guess your parents didn’t teach you right manners” She said and beckoned on the girl with four slaps on her two cheeks.
“Argh my cheeks” She cried holding her red cheek.
“Who’s the f_cking mother of this brat?” She asked.
A young haggard woman came out. Her clothes were worn out and half torn.
“Hmmm I see” Princess Charlotte smirked.
She stretched her hands and an axe was given to her.
“Say your last prayers ?îtçh” Princess Charlotte said and the woman trembled.
A soldier had already grabbed the little girl.
“Please don’t hurt my mom” The girl’s voice came but Princess Charlotte was unmoved.
“My princess please” The woman pleaded.
“In your next world you’ll teach your children some manners”
She lifted up the axe and it went directly to the woman’s neck. The blood splashed on her face.
The woman’s head went flying up before returning to the floor. Her body fell lifelessly on the floor.
“Mummy!!!” The little girl screamed but Princess Charlotte shut her up with a slap.
“Shut it you unfortunate being”
The people were trembling,some were sobbing silently but no one dared talked.
“Take her with me to the palace, she’s a new slave” She ordered and her soldiers saluted her before walking out of the market.

LIBRARY
Francisco returned to the library to inquire what the gold light he saw was. He went over to the position and saw an ancient book.
He ran his fingers over it and discovered it has been covered by dust meaning it has being a long someone touched it.
He pulled it out but it fell on the floor and a page opened. He squatted to take a look at the page.
It was a statue,a familiar one.
He picked it up and searched for the title of the novel but it had none.
“What sought of story is this? No title?” He marvelled as he went over to a seat to read it.
He opened the first page.
“YOOKOO WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST WARRIOR TO BE KNOWN. HIS KINGDOM WAS THE BEST, WEALTHIEST AND MOST POPULATED IN THE ENTIRE SUPERNATURAL VILLAGES”
Chapter one was finished.
“Uh.. what sought of story is this” He slipped over to the next chapter.
“ONE DAY WAR HAPPENED AND YOOKOO’S KINGDOM DIVIDED AND WAS RULED BY A WOMAN. YOOKOO WAS BOUNDED WITH CHAINS AND WITH EVIL SPELLS CASTED ON HIM, HIS SPIRIT WAS PURSUED OUT OF THE SUPERNATURAL WORLD TO AN UNKNOWN PLACE. IT IS BELIEVED HE REINCARNATED INTO A HUMAN”
End of story.
“This story is funny. What sought of play is this? Just two short chapters? I guess the author must be sick” He agreed and he flipped through the pages. The rest were blanked and he threw the book on the floor out of frustration and left the library.
The book shone gold and transported itself back to it’s position on the shelf.
*****
A cab dropped Fenuku at his house,he paid him off and walked in.
He stopped on a track when he heard noises, Cries actually.
“Mommmm” He screamed and raced inside and saw his dad hitting his mom with his belt.
Her skin was already bleeding.
Fenuku took a flower vase and broke it on his dad’s head. His dad fell off from his mom’s body and he helped her get up.
His dad, Mark was bleeding from his head but showed no signs of being remorseful. He held his head and stood up.
“You see… Lisa you see your son. He hit me in the head. You see how spoilt this thing has become” Mark said pointing at Fenuku whose mom was hiding behind him.
“Dad I’m ashamed to have you as a father. You have caused me more harm than good and I wish you could just die” Fenuku said boldly.
“Fenuku don’t say that, he’s still your dad” Lisa said.
“No let him run his mouth, I’m going to deal with you both” Mark thr_@tened.
He went to the master’s bedroom and returned with a pressing iron. From the look on the iron,it had smokes coming out from it meaning it was hot. He raced towards them with it.
“Fenuku runnnn” Lisa screamed.
