SCARS - CHAPTER 7&8
“Corbin where are you? Why not come out and face me uh. I thought you were done with this nonchalant attitude of yours but I never knew you were a beast” Adams spat angrily.
“You don’t need to see me anymore I guess you’ve done enough harm to me,just leave”
“Then stop harming people,why not be like other supernatural beings. Why’s yours different?”
“That’s why I’m called Corbin!” His voice echoed closer and Adams kept spinning around searching for him.
“I’ll be back for you Adams, just this. Arghhh!!” He screamed weakly and his voice finally subsided.
“Bastard,mother f_cker!!” Adams punched the air backing off disappointedly.

CHOLA EMPIRE
The night was fast approaching and Alessia’s stomach rumbled violently. She waited for everyone to return back to their respective rooms before looking for some food.
She tiptoed into the kitchen and she could hardly believe her eyes.
There were good and healthy foods which was more than enough to feed everyone but instead Queen Lazebel fed the slaves with corn,bread or hot soup.
“What a large contents” Her eyes raced from one food to another.
She ate to her satisfaction and tiptoed out,back to her room. On her way she saw a shadow. She hid by a tree and tried to catch who it was but the night was too dark except for the half moon up in the sky.
“Who’s that?” She muttered.
The shadow was heading to the antidote room and it disappeared through the walls.
“A wizard” She gasped.
The antidote room was secured a d protected that no supernatural being can go in except for a particular species. A wizard.
She watched it come out and passed through the gates. She heaved a sign of relief and started walking to her room. She stepped on a stone and was about to fall but someone grabbed her.
She looked into the eyes of the arms holding her and it shined green. She quickly bowed her head.
“Greetings my prince” She said already shaking.
“A slave? What are you doing outside by this time?” He asked.
“I…I … came to urinate” She lied but he could detect she was lieing.
“And you are coming from the kitchen. you came to steal isn’t it?”
Immediately he said that her heart got pricked and she almost passed out. She knelt down instantly.
“Pardon me my prince I… I’m sorry” She apologized.
She was expecting a slap or a punishment but instead he held her hands and pulled her up.
“It’s okay,you can return to your room” He said and she ran off immediately.
Queen Lazebel had two children from her formal husband. He died shortly after she became Queen and that’s when she was cursed a s*x beast.
Her son,Prince Ampah seemed different among them. He’s a philanderer,a flirt,a foodie and he trained himself all alone on the training field and he h@??s talking to anyone not even his sister.
He had slept with almost all the maids in the palace and was still sleeping with more. He’s handsome with green eyes,and tough to please.

Wizards Coven
A wizard appeared out of the wall into Corbin’s room. He had a white glass bottle in his hands and he presented it to Corbin.
“King,this is the antidote brought from CHOLA EMPIRE” He said bowing his head.
Corbin was now weak and pale. He had turned white due to the poison inflicted on him by Adams.
**********HUMAN WORLD**********
BENNEY’S MANSION
Francisco stood at the mirror staring at himself. He was shirtless and the scar on his chest reminded him of something he read from one of the supernatural novels.
He had asked his mom about it and she had told him he was birthed like that. The scar was in a star shape.
He removed his clothes completely and entered into the bathtub. His entire body was buried in the water except for his head which was out.
Khole tiptoed into his room possibly to upset him. Her eyes landed on the novel on his bed and she went for it.
She sat on his bed and began flipping through the pages,she couldn’t understand any of the writings except for the blur pics she saw.
“Phew,such a boring novel” She exhaled dropping it and walking into the bathroom.
Fransisco didn’t realize someone was in cause his eyes were closed. When he finally opened them he grew furious.
“Khole, you’re interrupting my privacy. Why would you stare at me while I take my bath?” He asked.
“You’re my kid brother and there’s nothing wrong if i decide to watch you have a wash” She replied solemnly.
“You’re just so unbelievable” He said taking his towel before walking out of the bathtub. The towel was tied around his waist exposing the rest of his body.
Khole saw the scar and she gasped.
“Fransisco” She called slowly pointing at his chest.
“What?”
“I … saw a gold light from your scar” she stuttered.
He bursted out laughing widely,he couldn’t believe his sister who didn’t believe in supernatural things was now seeing spiritual things.
“You must be so ridiculous Khole” He said walking out of if the bathroom and she followed.
“No I’m not. I know what I saw now”
“Khole when did you start reading supernatural stories cause I…..”
“I don’t read those f_cking bullshit. I’m d@mn serious about what i saw. Fransisco hope you’re not possessed” She suddenly said.
“Hello! Between both of us who’s acting possessed here? You right,I guess you should get a little nap cause your brain might be dazzling” He said.
“I’m gonna tell mom about this” She said storming out of the room.
“Khloe! Khole!!” He called but she snubbed him.

Wizards Coven
Corbin was well again after taking the antidote. he stood staring at his window. He could see the stars shinning so bright.
He saw the reflection of a woman,the one he loved. Corbin once had a wife,yes he did!!
She was brutally ki||ed right in his sight. Her body was dissembled and his only son too got murdered by someone he trusted dearly.
That moment he became wild and yarned for the blood of humans. He drank the dark water and got possessed with dark powers.
He formed his own coven with the aim of coming back for revenge,for his wife and son.
A tear dropped from his eyes and he quickly wiped it off. He sniffed into a handkerchief.
“Master there’s a message for you from Santura the goddess of the wizards” A guard said to him.
He nodded his head,he could feel her presence,he could feel the heavy dark magic looming around his coven.
