SCARS - CHAPTER 5&6

The loud laughter sounded creepy and the cops fled into their respective vans and zoomed off.

The laughter subsided and the dark clouds drifted away, everything became normal except for the droplets of bloods.

HORFORD HIGHSCHOOL

LEISURE TIME
Khole kept running non-stop heading to Fransisco’s class. She badged into the class and luckily met Francisco reading a heavy supernatural novel on his table.

“Hey!” She nudged his shoulder.

He was frightened at the way Khole breathed.

“What’s the problem Khole!” He asked half yelling.

“It happened again,they came again” She said and he understood immediately.

Instantly he felt a pain in his chest, like fire burning in it. He held it and grunted. He started bleeding from his nose, shortly after he fainted.

This has always happened constantly. Whenever the wizards attacked the city, he bleeds from his nose and collapses.

*****
CHOLA EMPIRE
A large bell at the middle of the palace rang violently signifying food time. Queen Lazebel made it mandatory that only a meal square should be provided to the slaves.

The slaves would also have to pay a price of getting flogged to access the food.

The slaves lined up with wooden plates in their hands and they went turn by turn.

A big pot of boiled corn was set at the middle while four palace armies stood beside it with long horse whips.

As the slave ran to scoop the food into their plates, whips landed on their back. Some ended up not taking anything or some fell while trying to run.

Alessia was almost close and her heart beat increased. The whip she received from the princess was still fresh and adding another to it would worsen it.

“One… two…three” She counted and raced down there. She scoop just a spoon and had already received four strokes.

They were hot and pepper ish.

She ran to the backyard to eat peacefully, when she stumbled on a stone and fell down. The contents was emptied on the floor and tears bursted out of her eyes.

She squatted while crying,then her stomach rumbled violently.

*****HUMAN WORLD*****

SCHOOL BAY

Fransisco opened his eyes slowly,he looked at the ceiling and the smell of the environment told him where he was.

He was in the school bay receiving treatments.

He turned to his right side and saw his sister resting her head on the bed.

He tapped her shoulder and her eyes opened.

“Fransisco you’re awake. You fainted again” She said.

“I did?” He asked.

“Immediately I told you about the attack you screamed about a chest pain and blacked out” She explained fondling his hands.

“This constantly happens whenever the attack takes place and I don’t know why”

“You can make research then. Since you’re a lover of supernatural stories you can possibly know the reason behind your sudden illness” Khloe said shoving her hair behind her ear.

Fransisco nodded his head.

“Mom just called,she has been discharged” Khole said with an alluring smile.

Fransisco’s face brightens up.

“Really!! I need to get home so I can apologize for hitting her in the chest” He said bowing his head sadly.

“It’s okay little bro” She ruffled his hair.

CHOLA EMPIRE SOUTH

Adams sat in his small chambers meditating to the gods. There’s a candle stand in front of him.

He saw a blur image of war… Thick war. He was trying to dig deep when something happened.

A loud scream pierced his ears and he disconnected. He tried reconnecting but the scream kept echoing.

He opened his eyes and touched his ears. He was bleeding.

“What’s the meaning of this?” He asked confusedly.

This time he heard the screams of people and he left his chambers. Danger was looming outside.

He peeped through his window and saw thick dark cloud had covered the sky.

“Corbin” He gasped.

*****
CHOLA EMPIRE
Alessia sat under a tree crying profusely. Hunger was eating up her intestines and she couldn’t help but cry.

She began recalling all the ordeals she had faced in the hands of Queen Lazebel and promised to have her revenge.

A chill breeze blew through her skin making her hair stand. It signified danger. She smelt the atmosphere but couldn’t sense who it was cause she was yet to know she got powers.

“Alessia!” She heard her name and turned backwards.

“Uh!” She gasped as she went closer to an old woman dressed in white.

Her eyes and hair were white. Her legs were floating on the air and white smokes came out of her body.

“Greeting the messenger of the supernatural beings” Alessia said bowing her head.

“Greetings princess of the supernatural” The old woman replied.

Alessia was astonished at the way the woman greeted her.

“My princess,the gods has asked me to deliver a message to you. There is danger looming around your people and you’re the only remedy to it”

“But I don’t have powers so how am I the remedy?” She asked confusedly.

“There’s no supernatural beings that has no power except they don’t know how to use it or it is not yet unlocked” The woman said.

“Unlocked? But right from childhood I was told I don’t have powers”

“My princess your powers shall review itself at the right time but remember the life of your people are in danger” The woman said and disappeared.

“But how am I… Wait…”

“Where are you I’m not done talking to you” She screamed looking around her.

Her stomach rumbled again and she fell down weakly.

CHOLA EMPIRE SOUTH
Adams ran into his medicine room and began searching for a medicine to bring Corbin down before he starts ki||ing people.

He searched over for thirty minutes yet couldn’t find it.

Ella stood by the door staring at him as he searched,he turned around to go and found her unexpectedly at the door.

“Gosh! Ella you frightened me” He said holding his chest.

“What’s that in your hands?” She asked suspiciously.

“It’s… it’s a medicine” He stuttered.

“For?”

“Ella you don’t need to know”

“To weaken Corbin?” She smirked.

“How… How did you know about Corbin?” He asked as he flinched.

“I read books so I’m prone to know about his existence” She walked over to the medicine counter and picked out a golden bottle and gave him.

“This would help cause the antidote is scare and can only be found in CHOLA EMPIRE” She said.

“Tha… Thank you” He said and rushed out.

*****
Corbin was about unleasing his spells when he perceived a strong choking smell.

“Arghhh!!” He screamed as he fell down,black blood came out from his lips.

Adams landed in front of him.

“Corbin so you’re back?” Adams asked.

Corbin raised his head up and smirked.

Adams was about unleasing the spells on him but Corbin was fast enough to disappear.
