{ JONAS MENACES}My mind raced as I considered the options. Reasoning with Jonas seemed impossible, but a direct confrontation was out of the question. Ineeded a plan that balanced both."Alright, let's gather everyone in the room," I said, looking determined. The crew moved to a hidden part of the classroom where we could discuss our next plan without being overheard."First, we need to find out where Jonas is holding Rosetta," I began. "Diana, can you get close to him and see if you can find any clues? You’re his sister; he might let something slip."Diana nodded, her face grim. "I’ll do my best. But if he’s involved in something big, he might not tell me everything.""That’s where we come in," Richard said, his voice steady. "We’ll need to keep an eye on Jonas without him noticing. We can set up a surveillance network around his usual haunts. Zack, you’re good with tech. Can you handle that?"Zack nodded. "I’ll get my equipment. We can cover the campus and any other places he frequ
{THE BRINK OF DARKNESS }"What is it going to be, Fred? Do I need to shoot her before I get you to talk? Tell me what you know about the system. I know you didn't have it destroyed." Jonas barked I looked at Rosetta and back at Jonas. "You need to believe me when I tell you that I had the system destroyed. What do you want from me?" I shouted in anger. "I want absolute power, and I want my face changed. I can do that with the power of the system, and you are going to help me.'" I looked at Zack and back at Richard. "I will do that if you let Rosetta go and have me as a hostage instead." I replied Emily looked at Jonas and nodded. Rosetta was immediately pushed towards Richard and Zack while I walked over to Jonas. "Take care of her." I looked at Zack as they walked out of the warehouse. "Now you are going to tell me what I need to hear, or I am going to kill you, Fred. You have taken a lot from me. You took my father and my sister and also turned my world upside down, and you are
{ CONFRONTING TRAGEDY }Zack and Richard thought of a way to break the news to Rosetta. As they drove back to the mansion, they both pushed the responsibility of breaking the news onto her. "You should do it; you know I am just a member of Fred's crew. And besides, you know her more than I do," Richard said, gently trying to persuade Zack. "We both went because Fred trusted us. Now that he is gone, you are pushing the responsibility on me." Zack packed and looked at Richard. "I am sorry, but the news is going to be devastating to not only Rosetta but to everyone." Richard said and sighed. The two of them looked at each other and said nothing. Zack's phone buzzed, cutting the tension. "Who?" Richard asked, looking at Zack. "Rosetta," he said, showing him the phone. Thier heard beat fast as Zack picked up the call. "Tell me he is alright." Rosetta's voice was loud over the phone. "Can we talk when we get home? We are almost at the mansion." Zack quickly cut her shirt before she sa
CONFRONTING TRAGEDY / THE BURIAL Zack, Richard, and Rosetta had a restless night, each consumed by their own thoughts on the events that had occurred. In the morning, the atmosphere in the mansion was filled with tension. The team assembled in the lounge, with a tense quiet atmosphere prevailing. Zack interrupted the silence. "We need a plan," he stated, his voice unwavering despite the inner chaos he experienced. "Jonas will keep going." We must carefully consider this. Judith was the one who replied first. "We must not allow him to escape from consequences. Jonas has hurt alot of people and now he must dance to the music. Fred wouldn't forgive us if Jonas managed to go unpunished." With red eyes from tears, Rosetta nodded. " I agree. However, we must be smart about all of this. We must not allow our actions to be dictated by our emotions."Diana looked around the room, her face showed determination. "We need evidence. If we can gather enough proof of Jonas's involvement in F
{ I AM BACK}Zack looked at me and was surprised. Most of the sympathisers were. "You were supposed to be dead?" Zack stammered, looking at me. "Let's just say I refuse to die." I replied with a smile. "Can you help her up?" I looked at Rosetta, who was on the floor with her eyes closed. Cassandra ran towards me and threw herself at me. She dobbed gently as she hugged me. I know I was the only thing she had left to be a brother. Everyone looked at me, and immediately the coffin was opened. The clergy looked at me and said, " This is a sign from heaven. Do you wish to share your death and return to life with everyone?" He said it with a smile on his face. I looked around to see the faces of so many students, all seated and staring at me with disbelief on their faces. I waited for the podium and grabbed the microphone. "I don't know where to start." I said it gently, with teary eyes. "I remembered my first day at the university grounds; I was just a teenager, but now." I looked at m
System ActivationI just finished my assignment and of course my darling Davina's own too. " I am the luckiest man on campus for her to have said yes to me." I couldn't stop thinking why Davina had chosen me out of all the hot guys on the campus. Many had craved her attention but she chose me.*************************************************************************One sunny afternoon as I walked past the cafeteria we bumped Into each other. " I am so sorry," I said gently helping her to pick up her books which fell on the floor as we collided Davina looked at me and smiled seeing I was apologetic. " You don't need to feel all sorry about all of this. This was my fault too. I should have looked it up. My name is Davina." she extended her hand for a handshake.My heart skipped a bit " Is this some kind of joke? Why would she want to be a friend with a loser like me?" Many students don't want to be friends with a loser like me. The fact that I was Intelligent and smart didn't count
A SYSTEM THAT BESTOWS WEALTH I watched as the gaming booted [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90,100][ Attention, The gaming system has been successfully installed. You will be asked to play a few missions to determine your fate. Please note you can turn your gaming coins into actual money] I read through the instructions and was dazed. " Is this true? Can I turn my poor fate around by just playing a few rounds of the game and earning some coins?" my heart skipped a beat and I thought of what I could accomplish if I was able to earn a lot of coinsMy phone went blank as I anticipated the next move. A panel only I could see appeared right in front of me. [ Ring! Ring!! ]A Super Mario sound was initiated while I looked at my screen and wondered what was going on. I tried moving away from the main page but I noticed my cursor was stuck on only the gaming mode [ Game Name: Frederick Westers ][ Level: 1(0/100) ][ Skill; Basic Human][ Game point: 0][ Mission: Collect as many coin
DATE WITH ROSETTAJonas walked up to me and laughed " What are you doing here pauper." I smirked "What do you expect? I had come to shop like everyone here." Davina looked at me and laughed out loud leaving me and Jonas to argue. Davina was about to pick a cloth when I said out loud " That is mine. I bought it already." She looked at the price tag on it and looked back at me " I am sure in your wildest dream you can't afford this."I looked back at the lady in front of me " I would like to shop everything I am seeing at the moment. Can you please tell every buyer to leave the boutique? Can I get your name, please?" " Evelyn."" Alright. Miss Evelyn, I need you to exit every buyer at the moment. I need to do my shopping." I requested politely Jonas and Davina kept looking at me and smiled. " What are you trying to do? I am sure you must have been sent on an errand by someone rich. There is no way you can afford everything here." I heard Evelyn make an announcement telling everyon
