"You guys went for a picnick instead of a research on what we were asked to do?". Said Mike to Joel with a surprise wriiten all over his face."As supposed". Joel responded wittingly and his gang of friends beside him couldn't help but laugh at his humour."But looking at you two, you both seemed to have had a bad time. Don't tell mW you out did yourselves?, because it wouldn't be good". Joel said again to Mike and Fred who stood and was amazed at him."What do you mean?, and what if we out did ourselves, its for the best and I think its worth it and the prize involved". Responded Mike to Joel."Now here you go my man!, I have been waiting to hear that statement from you all this while and finally it has arrived!". Joel said and his team members and fellow classmates laughed again. Obviously they were making fun of Mike and Fred."What do you mean by that?, I don't understand". Asked Fred to Joel after observing that he was seriously making fun of them."That's why I always tell my pe
"Why don't you fly away from here". He said in a low time to the bird. He released the bird and it flew away.Not long after the bird flew away, a boy came back and started looking around the entire bush. He was obviously looking for something.Fred saw Jim and decided to ask him."Hey, what are you looking for?". Asked Fred to the boy."Its none of your business". Replied the boy and Fred was amazed at his rudeness."Okay, then suit yourself". Said Fred as he decided to mind his business and move on."Did you see my bird?". Asked the boy after looking around the entire bush in search of his bird."Are the owner?". Asked Fred."Yes. Did you see it?". Asked the boy again."Yes and I guess the bird is safe and minding its business whereever it is now. Anyway I saw it flew up to the sky". Said Fred as he demonstrated it with his hands."You can't be serious. Do you release it?". Asked the boy again to Fred."Yes, you got any problem with that. You probably left it there to die, isn't it?
His mother couldn't believe what she heard. She didn't believe that he actually went to that house and was equally possessed."Now, let me understand something. You went to that old and haunted house with your friend Mike, who was rumoured to be the hand behind his mother's death through a mysterious black magic that he performed?". Jenna asked Fred who was sitting down relaxed. As soon as he heard his mom made mention of Mike and his dead mom, he sat upright as if he wanted to understand something more."Come on mom, that was just a mishap. You shouldn't blame him for his mother's death. That's cruel". Said Fred to his mom who was still standing with her both hands on her waist."Ok, since you said I shouldn't blame him for his mother's death…". Said Jenna."Yes as it should". Fred cuts in sharply."Then why did he take you along with him, despite knowing fully well that you are my only son?. Why!?, why would he do that?". Asked Jenna as she was still furious at his son for embarkin
"Are you okay, are you going somewhere?". Asked Jenna as he saw his son being worked up."Don't worry, I will tell you on e I am done okay, I promise you, you must surely be amazed at the outcome". Said Fred as be got everything ready.His mom gazed at him and wondered what he was up to.He went to his room, took his bath and left instantly to his friends house without saying anything further to his family members. He made sure to pack his school stuff and he didn't adwd out with them. He will be sleeping over at his place. Though be had never slept over at his friend's place before. This will be his first time.He set out on his journey to Mike's house. It was an hour journey and it felt like forever.He got to the burial ground beside Mike's house he stood there and began to observe it. His eyes went to the grave where Mike's mother was buried. He took few steps forward towards it and sttod before it."Rest in peace". He said as be dropped a small flower on it."I didn't come to see
He then woke up immediately bit his eyes were still blur. He tried to wake Mike up but he was fast asleep."Mike wake up, I think I heard some footsteps here". Fred said again as he kept tapping Mike at his back in a bid to wake him up.Mike already knew what happened but he didn't want to wake up as he was still feeling sleepy. He wished that Fred hadn't heard the sound but as soon as he heard it, he woke up and decided to disturb his sleep. He was pissed off but he remained calm."Come on, I think they are thieves". Said Fred again to Mike, this time in a clear tone. Mike knew he isn't stopping anytime soon and so he decided to wake up and react to it."What is it, what did you hear. You said you heard some footsteps?". Mike asked and pretended as if he didn't hear him all this while he was calling as he woke up in a jiffy and turned to where Fred was."Come on I think I heard some footsteps and that too in this room. Light up the lantern, we need to clarify if we are alone here in
One of our classmates probably". Responded Mike."What?, one of our classmate. What if they copy his work. It wouldn't be good for them. Did you inform him about it and the dangers involved?". Asked Fred to Mike."Well according to him, be said he knows what he is doing. He said he has his own way. You know he is smart, so don't bother about him let's just do us ourselves. I see him as our only competition. I don't care about the rest". Said Mike to Fred."Okay. Since he said so mets just focus on ourselves."Here Mela. Thanks for this I really learnt a lot. For sure you are going to be the winner of today's task". Said Joel as he came in side the class and handed mela back the work he took from him."Okay, thank you". Responded Mela as he took his work back from Joel."Wait, Joel was the with the project all this while". Said Fred as be remembered their encounter with him on their way back from the haunted house."Yes, I think". Responded Mike as he was observing them from his seat
It was Mike's turn and the teacher pointed at him to come out by shouting "next!".Mike's heart skipped a bit as soon as the teacher pointed at him. He was surprised because it wasn't his turn yet and he wandered why the teacher had pointed at him when he is on the last roll with Fred sitting beside him."I think you made a mistake. You haven't finished with this roll yet". Said one if the staffs to the teacher."Yes, that's true. I almost forgot". Said the teacher and Mike sat down back in his seat."Alright, next". Said the the teacher as she pointed at Joel who was sitting at the extreme of the last roll before Mike's roll.As soon as the teacher called him up, he stood up sluggishly. Mere looking at him Mike and Fred could tell that his plans had failed."Come on walk faster, we have other things to attend to". Said one of the staffs to Joel after seeing the way he was walking slowly.The whole class had their eyes on him as they were expecting to hear some exciting things from hi

Said the teacher and the students responded warmly to her gesture.It wasn't long and the teacher and the staffs left the class, leaving the students alone including Mike and Fred."Wait are you for real?. You actually went to that house?, like seriousl". Asked one if the students to Fred."How many times am I going to confirm that?. Let's just wait till tomorrow amd let's see what happens". Said Fred as he was tired of saying 'yes' to every other question."I really can't believe that you actually wanted to outsmart Mela by copying his work. That was funny". Said I e of the students to Joel as he sat all alone by himself."Mind your business, you fool!." Shouted Joel at the student who made fun of him."

Well let me enlighten you about that. I am Mike your son, you are my father. The one that sold me out to some group of gangsters for some treasure.

Mike had no other option than to succumbed to the beggers condition. The door was opened for him and he entered inside. The room was not as dirty as he thought earlier but still it was unkept. He went to one corner of the room ams sat down. He began to think about his life and how everything began."Why is my own punishment so severe than the rest if the people that I know who were also being punished one way or the other". Mike said to himself in agony."How can I loose everything including my personality all in one day?. No one seems to recognize me now. I am alone all through". Mkme said to himself again.

This calamity is not directed at the land nor any other individual but you your royal highness". Said the seer. The whole ministers were all shocked at the shoving revelation by the seer. Everyone was surprised except the king who began to laugh as soon as the prophecy came."That's nonsense. All that is non sense. Do you know who I am. No king has done what I had done. I also had the treasure with me and it also had the power to erase curse or any calamity. I am sorry but this prophesy is not for me". Said the king to the seer."Well, you can deny it for all I care but one thing is obvious, you had angered the gods and they are angry with you. You need to amend your ways before it becomes too serious. You can

The people saw the guards and they all remained quiet."What has your so called gods did for you that I haven't done and even double. This is the new order and everyone mist abide by it. Anyone who refuses to abide by this new decree and law will be thrown out of the land or he will be killed and all his property will be taken away from him for rebelling against the king and for breaking the law of the land".
