“Oh.” Elena mumbled stunned. “Your threats make starts with a G. And I receive this things from a person with the initials G.”“Yeah.” Raphael said with a nod. “Exactly.”“Sorry, what exactly is the Gregory doing? What’s the threat? What does he look like? I need to teach this bastard a lesson.”She looked between Ajax and Raphael. None of them were saying anything.“Why is no one saying anything?” Elena asked.“Umm. The truth is, we do not know who he is either. We have absolutely no idea who he looks like.” He sucked his teeth. “So. Yeah. We both are in the same shoes as you are.”Elena sighed. “That’s sad. Got my hopes all up and now they’ve crashed. By the way, if you do not know him physically, how did you identify him as a threat?”Ajax and Raphael exchanged a look again.“Will you both drop the crazy ass eye language thingy?” She whined frustratingly.Raphael chuckled.Ajax sighed and took a step towards her, his lips tilting upwards into a smile, hoping a little levity would l
She looked around. She could not flash past the crowd of students. She would get caught and exposed. She could not risk that.So she just ran. Pushing and passing through the students leaving their halls of exams.She weaved her way through them. Though she was slow, because she had gotten so used to her system and the powers. With her system, there was no need to use her mere human strength to run but now she had to, so even though she was slow, she ran.As she got to the corner she saw him turn into, she looked around. Taking a deep breath, she walked in, her hands up in a defense mode, her senses were alert too, just in case there was any attack.As she turned by the corner, she noticed it was empty, there was not a single person in there. Did that mean that the person disappeared?She looked around looking puzzled and surprised. She walked out the corner. The students walking around had lessened in their numerical strength.She looked back at the corner. Was she missing somethin
It was few minutes past four o’clock in the evening when Ajax had just returned back to his dorm after his exams. He was in a very good mood. His exams went great.As of late, He had been into systems and finding more informations about the threats, so he had not been as serious and ‘nerdy’, as Elena always referred to him as, but despite his derailed focus, the exams still went great.He was exhausted when he got into his dorm. He threw himself into the bed, his eyes stuck up at the ceiling.Raphael was yet to return from his own exams. So he was alone in the dorm. Ajax sighed. He could not remember when last he was alone in his dorm.His eye lids were slowly drooping over his eyes as he had begun to feel sleepy.The piercing sound of his ring tone and the vibration of his phone in his pocket woke him up and his eyes snapped open quickly. His heart race increasing.He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that it was just his phone. He fished it out of his pocket and stared at t
Elena stared at the words of the text. She was beyond surprised. How exactly did he get her number? And what did he mean by he has the information she needs? She sighed and threw the phone on her bed.On a second thought, as she was about to untie the laces of her shoes, she decided to give it a try.It would not hurt to try. From the look of things, she was obviously stronger than him, so she was certain that her safety would be assured.She sat back up. She walked to the mirror, arranged her hair, fixed her make up well and headed out.It was night when she arrived at Flora’s grill. The place was filled.She stepped down from the Uber she had used to get there. As she walked to the grill the aroma of food hit her face, like someone had just slapped her.She was just yet to step in to the gril. The chair placement and decoration outside looked very beautiful.She had to stop and stare. The darkness of the night gave the grill a glow of its own. The lightings and everything was just
Ajax had just turned to corner he saw the person turn. He stopped and glanced. It was an alley he was staring at. Few people hung around and walked by. He stared pointedly at each and every one of them. He could not recognize the stalker from earlier.After a while, he left. He took a decision to use his powers and flash straight to the person when next he met the person and not care if any one saw him.He headed back to Grey’s lab. Walked through the gates. Said some ‘hey’s and hi’s’ to co workers as they had just closed and were heading back to their various homes.As he entered the magnificent building, heading to the elevator, he wondered why Nicolas would be looking for him. He just hoped everything was alright. He did not want to add anything to the list of things to worry about.He already had Nicholas, Nate, Gregory, systems and now a stalker to worry about.As the elevator dinged open, he walked out, standing in the hallway.Towards the left, led to his parents labs. He and
Elena had eaten to her satisfaction as she spoke with Adam.Despite his ‘annoying and stupid ass’- her words, she still observed that he had a nice personality. He made jokes that seemed to irk her at first but along the line, she found herself finding humor in them.The tension and scowl she had on had washed off. She was finding it exhausting hating on someone. Technically, he was only doing what he was asked to do.She just needed answers. She could as well act the least nicely.“And guess what! He grabbed the square shaped glass cup and tried to prove his point.” Adam continued. “And…..”“Don’t tell me he forgot his line…” Elena croaked amidst laughs.“Of course he did.” Adam said.Elena laughed harder that her eyes began to tear up profusely.“And he poured it in and started looking around, totally unsure of what was going on.” Adam said in between laughs.He was telling Elena about a time when his cousin, Luis was having memory lapses. His cousin was an easy going person that lo
The way he said it, coupled with his facial expression and all just made Elena to laugh. On a second thought, it would not really hurt to just have a little peep at the place and be out right?Maybe she could also see for herself this stupid Gregory of a person. And then maybe she would know where to find the bastard if he-It was then she realized that she did not know the threat Gregory posed as. She had no idea of the threats that Gregory gave Nicholas if he refused to join them. She just knew he was the new threat.She recalled and reminisced their conversation and then she discovered that they had strayed out of the topic that was at hand.“Sure. Let’s go. I would not stay long though. I still got exams tomorrow.” Elena finally caved in.A happy smile spread across Adam’s cheeks and he nodded. “Come on.”The two of them walked out, completely leaving the premises of the grill.“Are we going on foot?” Elena asked as they kept walking.Adam chuckled. “You tired of walking already?
“Hey.” Adam called Elena, getting her attention.Her eyes snapped back to him, staring at him. “Yeah.”“I just got access to this ward. Come on in.” Adam said flashing a key card for her to see.Elena nodded and looked back. To her surprise, She did not see the girl, Caroline anymore. “Yeah sure.” She said facing Adam.“You good?” Adam asked staring intently at her.“Yeah. I’m good.” She answered nodding continuously.“You look like you have seen a ghost. What happened?” Adam probed further, worry in his eyes.Elena chuckled. “No. I’m fine.” Her eyes flickered to the ward and the little girl laying on the bed inside.“What is wrong with her?” Elena asked changing the topic.“Well. This little girl has cancers.” Adam said staring at the little girl.Elena felt her heart drop for the little girl.“What do you mean cancers?” Elena asked.“Well, numerous cancers. Leukemia, cancer of the brain, cancer of the ovaries amongst others.” Adam
