SCARS - CHAPTER 15&16
(DEFEATS)
“Mommmm” He squealed happily running to the master’s bedroom.
He pushed the door and ran to his mom who was lying on the bed.
“Mom guess what!”
“What is it?” Lisa asked.
“My injuries are healed without any scar”
“Again?” She was amused.
This wasn’t the first time this was happening. Whenever he gets beaten up by his dad and he talks or sees Fransisco,his injuries automatically disappears.
“Son I think Fransisco has enough explanation to do,cause I can’t make a point out of it how your injuries automatically disappears whenever you come in contact with Fransisco” Lisa said adjusting herself on the bed.
“What do you think?” Fenuku asked.
“He should have some powers which he might know about or not” Lisa said and Fenuku’s mouth dropped open.
“But he’s a human”
Lisa smiled and gestured him to sit.
“Come here let me tell you a story” She said to him.

Ella was taking a walk through the streets as she saw little children chattering and running around happily.
A woman was inside her shop almost dozing off. A scene appeared in Ella’s head on an incoming accident and she ran to the woman.
“Hey there! Hey!” Ella called and the woman jerked out of sleep.
“What do you want?” The woman replied getting on her feet.
“You should leave this place now, something terrible is about to happen” Ella said and the woman sighed.
“This is my shop and I can’t leave it” She replied.
“Just come out!” Ella half yelled.
The woman looked at the little white girl commanding her.
“Ok I will” The woman said and walked out.
“So what now?” She fumed with anger.
“This” Ella pointed to the shop and it collapsed.
The woman was wowed.
“Oh no my shop!!” She screamed trying to hold Ella but she was gone already.
People gathered around her trying to inquire some information.
“That little girl…she…she said..oh no my shop my everything ” She fell on the floor and continued weeping.
*****
Ella kept running super speedily,she would have gotten herself into trouble if she had stayed one more second there but she felt happy she saved the woman from dieing under the collapsed building.
She halted and rested in an empty stall. She was tasty for water but had none and she was far from home.
“Hey”
She heard a voice and she looked up. A little fair boy about same height with her was standing there with smiles on his face.
“Here you can have my water” He said giving her a water flask.
“Uhmm thanks” She rejected it.
“It’s harmless” He said and sipped from it.
“No thanks,I don’t accept things from strangers especially the ones that gets into my stomach” She said with a smile.
“I’m Yorkoo” He said.
“Yorkoo! Oh yeah nice name you got there” She stuttered offering him a handshake.
“You’re Ella right?”
She nodded slowly.
“How did you know?” She asked giving him a suspicious stare.
“Adams Cliff is your dad the most popular soothsayer in CHOLA SOUTH”
“So what do you want?” Ella asked.
“To be friends with you, I’m ten you’re ten so it gonna be cool” Yorkoo said hoping she’d say yes.
She nodded slowly.
“Yes!” He said excitedly.
“Can I hug you?” He requested.
She wagged her index finger and shaked her head. They exchanged handshakes.

It was time for lunch. The long line of the awaiting slaves were numerous. seemed like they increased overnight.
The slaves got whipped as they scoop the little tasteless food into their plates.
Alessia hid herself in the garden under a mango tree. She had her head on her knee,she could hear the rumbling sound of her stomach and the ache it caused.
She was waiting for night fall so she could steal food from the kitchen.
She felt a presence sat down beside her.
“Hi Alessia” Ampah said.
“My prince” She raised her head and bowed it.
“I brought food for you” He said bringing out a food flask he hid inside his robe.
“Thank you” She gushed, opening the food and began eating.

The three friends arrived same time and they headed inside. They made orders and sat to discuss.
Adjo had noting to order he only sat and watched them..
“Adjo won’t you order something” Fransisco said.
“No thanks I don’t eat in public” He replied plugging a ear piece into his left ear.
“Just water” Fenuku persuaded him but he disagreed.
“Cisco it happened again” Fenuku said and his friends looked at him confusedly.
“I’m serious. Ok here,just like other times. Whenever my dad beats me and gives me an injury, after speaking to Fransisco on the phone it disappears like I don’t know how to make you believe but what I’m saying is true” Fenuku defended himself.
“Hold on guys. Are you trying to say Fransisco possess some kind of magical powers, come on those are folk tales” Adjo said.
“I’m still confused. You said it happened other times and you didn’t inform me why then did you talk about this one?” Francisco asked.
“This one felt so real,other ones I doubted it that it might be cogitation that’s why I’ve been keeping away from you”
“This sounds like a folktale so I’m not gonna believe it” Adjo said in conclusion.
There was a loud scream coming from outside. People ran helter skelter saving thier lives.
“What’s happening?” Adjo jumped out of his seat.
“People are running, what’s after them” Francisco asked.
“The supernatural being is here to seek blood, everyone must hide” A man who ran behind them said.
“OMG this can’t be,I don’t want to die!!” Adjo cried fearfully clinging to the clothes of Fenuku.
“Let me be you little chicken” Fenuku mocked.
“Francisco there it is, it’s real floating on the air” Fenuku pointed at Corbin who was laughing loudly scaring the hell out of the masses.
The police had arrived but only videos could be taken cause they couldn’t handle someone with such magical powers.
“I’m going out” Fransisco said leaving his friends behind.
“Cisco stop you’re gonna die” Fenuku warned him.
“Francisco please come back,I want to go to my mummy” Adjo cried loudly and Fenuku slapped his head.
“Let me out” Francisco said to the securities,the doors was already locked but one could still see cause it was transparent.
“Young man you can’t go out there, it’s too…” The man words were interrupted when Fransisco lifted him up and flung him like a wood.
People inside were wowed.
Other securities tried to stop him but they fell down before they could reach him.
Francisco opened the door and stood face to face with Corbin.
