THE ESCAPE OUT OF THE HOUSE OF SHADE

Fiona dragged the carpet over us and we heard her footstep approach the door. " What took you so long Fiona?" I heard a voice and it sounded familiar.

" I was taking a nap." She replied

" We are looking for two men. I think it is Fredrick and his dog, Xavier. Have you seen them?" The voice asked

" No, and why are they being searched for? This is a cub and they are free to club just like everyone else." Fiona replied

" Really? Are you saying that to my far now!, since when did you start talking back at me? I would have had you straggled right now if it was for Zack. I guess he still enjoys your company and the moment he stops, you are of no value to us anymore." Jonas scoffed and entered the room

My heart beat fast as I looked at Xavier who was calm. I wonder why he was so calm when he wanted to run away at his first chance. " He heard multiple footsteps as they checked everywhere. The dust entered my nose as they walked up and down.

" I told

    We froze and we didn't turn back. " I said stop!" the voice shouted again and looked back to see Jonas's stern gaze" Where are you going at this time of the night? Didn't you know the big fish are coming in some hour's time?" He shouted at Fiona " I need to see my friends off. They came to say hello." Fiona replied " Your friends? I don't think you have ever gotten any friends since I have known you. Are they as beautiful as you are?" Jonas said with a smile as he walked past Fiona coming towards us. My find raced a bit and I knew we would have to fight our way out. The sound of his coming steps towards us sent shivers down our spine. I looked at Xavier and we both nodded as we agreed to have him kidnapped just to make our way out of here. Suddenly, his walkie-talkie made a sound " We think they are on the second floor of the building. " A voice said out loud " Second floor. I am coming right away." Jonas shouted and looked at us. " Ladies, we will meet another time. " He said r

    THE COMPETITION { BEGIN }" What do you mean we are screwed?" Xavier asked looking scared " My hand band? I think I might have left it at that clubhouse." I replied banging the table right in front of me." You need to calm down okay? You might have misplaced it. Are you sure you had it on you when we were at the club?" Xavier walked down staring at me. I could see he was afraid too" I am sure. I had it in my wrist, it must have dropped when we were fighting those guards." I sat down on the couch tubing my hands over my hair" You need to relax, Fredrick. The competition is starting tomorrow and you need to be in the right state of mind if you are going to win any of your fights." I looked at Xavier and nodded but I was a bit nervous. " I am going to order some pizza. Do you care for some?" I asked placing an order. Xavier nodded with a faint smile " Hae you checked out the rooms?"" No, I will just sleep in anyone that I want. Besides, I want Rosetta to come live with me." I said

    AND IT ALL BEGINS { MY FIRST FIGHT }I looked back and I saw my hand band with Jonas. " I think you dropped this," Jonas said looking at my reaction. The students were gathered already to see what going on. " What were you doing in the House of Shade?" Jonas asked again with his eyes turning red" I don't understand what you are saying." I lied looking away from him Davina collected the hand band from Jonas and walked towards me " This belongs to you. You have always had it on you." she said with a smirk I began to sweat and looked at Jonas " I just said it is not mine but since you are claiming it is mine then it is. I was there. Whatever is going on down there, I will find it out." I replied waking towards Jonas" I am going to make you disappear just like I did with Richard, watch your back," Jonas said with a smirk. I gave him a look that meant he should try as we looked at each other with disdain. We heard the sound of the mic and we looked towards the direction it was coming

    MY FIRST FIGHT { ROSETTA FOUND }"Is this bow being in love felt?"I looked at Fiona's face which was covered in blood. " What happened? Where is Rosetta?" I asked with a frightened face. "Not here." Fiona managed to speak into my ears. I looked around and I could all eyes were on Fiona. Her clothes were torn and she had blisters on her lips. " We need to get you out of here. All eyes are on you." I said gently and took off my jacketI caught Zack looking at us " Did Zack do this?" I asked leading her out of the arena. I had even forgotten my match with Aiden. All I could think about was Rosetta. " You want to tell me what the hell is going on?" I asked as she got seated on the garden bench"A lot is going on the campus. Jonas and Zack are giving out money to ladies and asking back a lot of interest in return. They demand after two weeks of loaning out the money." Fiona said holding her mouth" And? What happens afterward?" I asked getting impatient Suddenly, I heard a loud noise and

    ROSETTA AS THE ULTIMATE PRICE Jonas's father stood up in his seat seeing how I had demonstrated a powerful skill against Aiden. " I am changing my mind. Whoever wins this tournament would not only have the prize money but would have Rosetta as his woman. Prove yourself in this tournament and the upcoming's." He takes his seat back I looked at Aiden " That is my woman, just let me win this. I promise I can find your sister." I said with my mouth bleeding " You think I am joking when I said I will fight this out with you? Fight me!" Aiden shouted attacking me I looked at Jonas who had a sinister look on his face. I can't let him have his way. He had Davina already and I won't let him have Rosetta too. Xavier looked at me and gave me a sign.I looked at Aiden and noticed his left punch was weak and his side was always open. I looked at the spectators that were clamoring for my name and looked at Rosetta who felt agitated and wanted me to win. I didn't want to hurt him but I don't ha

    DEATH OF AIDEN My eyes glowed and my body was no longer mine. I felt stronger and powerful. I looked at Aiden and noticed he was scared. " You need to stop or you might end up dead," I said into his ears as I pinned him down. " I didn't kill your sister and if you give me a chance, I might be able to help you find her," I said releasing my grip on him. I saw the look on Mr Dickson's face. He wanted Aiden dead" I am sorry I came at you," Aiden replied and I helped him up. The student cheered again seeing that we were coolJonas looked at me and smirked. I had managed to escape his trap again. But my body was weak and I was having some broken bones too. As I walked towards my car, I felt a little dizzy and fell. I noticed someone helped me up and as the face became clearer, I saw Rosetta. " Get your hands off me!" I shouted pushing her awayI saw the look on her face " I am sorry Fred, I didn't mean to hurt you like this." She pleaded " You didn't me too? When were you going I tell

    MYSTERY THAT NEEDS TO BE UNRAVELED { BODY COUNT }I looked at the horror look in his eyes as I approached Aiden's dead body. " Call the ambulance!." I shouted looking at Xavier who ran back to my car to get his phone.The students all gathered to see what was going on. I looked around trying to catch a glimpse of Jonas or Zack. Aiden had died right on the spit Richard died. I wondered if he knew more than he was telling me. " You again?" I heard a familiar voice behind me and I looked back to see the officers once again " Looks like we have another suicide on our hands again," Max said aloud. " And you are at the scene of the crime once again," Pontius added as they looked at me in the face " Did you see what happened to him?" Max askedI shook my head and looked at Xavier " Did you?" "Of curse not, we were both together when this happened," Xavier replied looking at Aiden's corpse as he was moved into the ambulance I looked up and saw Jonas and Zack approaching us " Looks like

    BEING IN THE SPOTLIGHTI could hear the umpire calling the figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, before he could count 10, I staggered up to my feet and the student shouted again. I looked at Titians and I noticed my vision was a little blurry. I need to make sure I don't get hit in the face again and also protect my ribs. I stood still and waited for him to attack instead of don't after him Titans laughed seeing I had given up. He ran towards me and I gave him an uppercut sending him up into the air.I followed him and gave him the find blow as he landed on the floor. The umpire rushed towards us to see if he was still breathing. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, the umpire shouted raising my hand into the air. I winced a lot showing a sign of pain but let out a smile as the people rushed into the arena once more to congratulate me. I looked around and my eyes locked with Davina. I could see she was not remorseful for what she did to me but I didn't care. I was going to make her world cr

    { 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

    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

    { 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

    {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

    { 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

    { ROSETTA KIDNAPPED }I slept with a smile on my face after I and Rosetta had made love. It was the first time we actually got intimate. I stared into her eyes all night before she finally fell asleep. The sound of the alarm woke me up, and I looked beside me. "Where is she?" My eyes flashed around the room as I tried to wake up. I rubbed my eyes gently, and I noticed there was a bit of a scuffle on the bed. I couldn't believe I had one good night's rest in a while, and everything was going back to being war for me. "Rosetta! Rose!!" I shouted, getting into my slippers. I walked through the hallway and stairs leading down to the main room. I was surprised to see a lot of broken glasses over my chairs, and the house was a complete mess. I quickly went to my CCTV footage, and I noticed it had been fired. "Was I drugged?" I ran my hands over my hair as I stared at the television right in front of me. I knew I needed to find Rosetta quickly. I couldn't believe I let my guards down, and

    { JONAS BACK }The university semester was coming to an end. A lot of preparation was going on for the graduating students. My joy knew no bounds because I was finally stepping into society. But little did I know a brewing storm was ahead. Many of the students were busy tying loose ends. Many were saying their goodbyes already, while others were focusing more on their studies. I knew I wouldn't have the power of the system again, so I need to focus more on my arithmetic. So far, Emily has been behaving herself, and I noticed that I couldn't find Alex and Jonas inside the school. I was just coming out of my department when I met with Emily. "What about Jonas and Alex? I don't think I have seen them this semester." I raised my eye brows. "I don't know. I promise to tell you everything, but recently, I noticed Jonas had been . distant. Do you want me to help you track them?" Emily looked at me."Track them? I thought you said you knew everything about them. Why are you really here, Emi

    { BETTER DAYS IN THE CAMPUS}The university was becoming stable, with each student minding their own daily activities. I walked through the corridor of the university, and everywhere seemed peaceful. I decided to sit down, and I looked back to when I became a part of the university. I remember being nothing, a loner who had always thought of staying low throughout my days here. I looked up to catch some of the pretty girls staring at me, and I laughed. I was becoming more of an icon by the day, with many of the students looking up to me. I felt a hand over my eyes, and I smiled. "Rosetta," I whispered softly, trying to get up to my feet. The hand moved slowly away from my face, and I saw it was Davina. "I think I told you to stay the hell away from me." I shouted in anger. "But I don't want to, Fred. I realise my mistake, and I would like to make amends. Can't you just give me the chance for old-time sake?" Davina said it with a sorry face. "Do you think I can ever forget what you

    { JONAS'S PLAN } Flora sighed, her eyes narrowing as she weighed Emily's words. "Okay, Emily. I'll talk to Fred. But understand this—if he says no, there's nothing more I can do. Your actions will speak louder than your words."Emily nodded fervently, wiping the last of her tears. "Thank you, Flora. I won't let you down, I promise."They parted ways, and Emily felt a flicker of hope. But she knew she had a long road ahead of her. She returned to Alex and Jonas, who were waiting for her back at the mansion."Did she buy it?" Jonas asked, leaning forward.Emily nodded. "Flora said she'd talk to Fred. But we need to be careful. She's suspicious."Alex smirked. "Suspicion won't matter once we have control of the system. We just need to keep them off balance until then."Emily didn't respond. Her mind was racing with the possibilities and the dangers that lay ahead. She knew she had to tread carefully if she wanted to succeed with the plan. The plan was simple. They need to know if I stil
