No One Left Old Friends
I woke past noon the qfollowing day as usual. Time flew by and it was night again. Geo and I sneaked out of the base, passing through the back gate. I followed Geo, walking through thick bushes, different from the clear path that leads to the training hall. If it was a few days ago, I might not have been able to comfortably navigate my way through the dark path but the training I received from Cara has taught me to lighten my steps and make less to no sound while walking. It was a full moon night so the moon helped illuminate everywhere making it easier for us to regulate our footsteps. After walking for about thirty minutes or so, Geo pointed at a cave a few meters away and said that we stop there. The moon enabled me to see a little past the entrance of the cave but the farther I look, the darker it gets, so I stopped and asked Geo what the cave is. "What is this place?"I asked. "It's just a cave that I discovered by chance" he answered but I could
No One Left Plan
When Dad said the reason he didn't join the military was because he found out that they auction humans, I was happy that my father is a good person. It is natural for us to hope that our loved ones be good people. I wonder how differently I would feel if Dad said he supports the military and their actions. I left that for now. "Though I knew you were the one they captured, I didn't attempt to rescue you. I'm really sorry brother" Geo said. "It's not your fault and there's nothing you could have done. You can't fight those people all by yourself after all. Let's discuss the plan so I can return quickly, I won't like Jessy to know I'll be involved in this" Dad said. Jessy is my mom's name, Dad doesn't call her by her name so often except he's with someone very close to him. "I'll cut to the chase," Geo said. "Remember I told you that the auction only buys people a week before the actual auction, and it can be less, maybe a few days to the auction day or as the case may
No One Left Discovered.
When Geo finished explaining the plans and what everyone has to execute, I spoke to Dad a little, asking him how stuff is at home, how mum is doing and some other things of less importance. After about an hour of us just talking about casual things we said our goodbyes and we left for the base. I didn't go to the training hall that day as we spent a lot of time at the meeting with Dad. I returned to the base alone that night cause Geo said he was going to see Nate and Cara and I returned to the base alone. Time flew by quickly and it was the day that Jane was to be transported to the other base. The day that we've been planning and strategizing for since over a month now. After that night that we met Dad, I became more serious-minded about the essence of the whole thing so I trained with a lot more seriousness than I usually do. Nate and Cara were enthralled by the speed at which I got a grab of all they taught me. I learned the art of lock-picking within two days and b
No One Left Calm Before The Storm
Few years back in Elementary 2, when my naivety was still top-notch. I was superbly ingenious and in most cases could not put two and two together, and I ended up being a gullible little lad. Something interesting happened in Elementary 2. There was this boy in my class, we were sort of close, not friends per se but we are not enemies either. We talk and gist when necessary. His name is Kaze. Kaze came to me one day and told me that there was a gate at the back of our school. He said it's the second gate that students are not allowed to pass there because it is prohibited. I knew Kaze won't just tell me about the other gate without ulterior motives. Kaze told me that there is a place where we can get candies and other stuff for a cheaper amount than it is sold for in our school. "We can even get some for free" Kaze told me. It didn't a lot of words for Kaze to convince me. I told you how naive I was. It wasn't so much my fault because there was never enough
No One Left The Auctioneers
I always knew that I was a good actor having played huge roles in a lot of interesting episodes, like acting all sick in front of Ms. Erin so she won't punish me for not doing my homework or so as to go home earlier than normal and avoid school work. I remember how I use to act as if I was choked and let drools drop off my mouth on my meal, keeping off the seniors waiting for an opportunity to take their share of my meal. It is my drool after all so I still ate my food but it has done its job. Most memorable of my acts was the one I told you about Biggy. The big guy who was in elementary 4 when I was in elementary 3, the one that I do pass by his class to my class, the guy that always sends me to fetch water for me him and the guy who I dropped a leaf in his water. You should remember him now. So after I dropped that water in the toilet for Biggy and stayed behind to see the result, and after learning of the casino, I saw Biggy leave for the toilet. I didn't know what he
No One Left Rescue Mission I
Dad and Geo were listening in on the conversation between Davis and the auctioneers when we got to the van. "How did it go?" Geo asked while staring intensively at the devices in front of him. "I'm afraid it didn't go well" Cara responded and Geo as if caught by surprise turned his head briskly at us. "This dude right here beat up a guard in there and took his uniform! We wanted to do everything without leaving traces behind, now you have beaten up the guy, how would we cover that up? Cara berated. "I did it when I noticed the boy was having a hard time sneaking in, so I did that to help him" Nate defended himself. Geo had laughed at their altercations and turned his back to what he was doing. I never thought he would laugh off such an important issue, and the looks on the faces of the others say the same. "Y'all should sit down, there's something more important than that" Geo said "Henshaw and I have been listening in on their conversation since they entered
No One Left Rescue Mission II
Three years ago was when I first played the knight game. Our parents had always warned us not to walk that path that has thick forests on either side of it alone lest we get kidnapped. Jane and I had been told about the game by a student in school. He explained that it is a type of game in which knights would catch and kill a monster who is disturbing his kingdom. The monster could be a thief, a ferocious spirit, goblins, and whatever thing the gamer wants his villain to be. The knights would wield weapons like guns carefully crafted from carton boxes or papers, swords meticulously made out of wood, then armors of damaged flat plates, and boots of fastened nylons. That was I fell in love with the game of the knights and kingdom villains. I decided that day that I would defy my parent's warning and journey to the kingdom of the knights that very evening. I called Jane after school that day and we made our way to the knights' land. It was as I had envisioned, it was a
No One Left Aftermath
"Mason! Mason! Mason!" My teammates and the other students chanted as they threw me up in the air and caught me back before throwing me back up and catching me again and repeating the move all over. I had led the school soccer team to victory by scoring a crucial winning goal, so I was currently a hero in the face of these students. As they threw me up in the air, I looked on the sidelines and saw Jane flinging her hands up in the air, chanting along with the happy crowd. She was very happy. I was happy too. Happy that she was happy. It's been five years now since that night at Crute, where we went to rescue Jane, where Dad was shot, lost a lot of blood, where Cara could not save him, and where he died. It's been five years since that night I bawled my eyes out, that night where we all sat crying like a bunch of kids abandoned by their parents. It's been five years and now I am in Class two in high school. After that night in Crute, everyone found out that my Dad was de

It was pitch dark in the vault. I could hardly see the person next to me. Master Leao was the only one with a source of light amongst us and he was at the front. When Jane entered first, Katie followed, Rio and Alex went after her and I was the last person to go in, so I was at the back of the group. I was struggling to keep up with the others as I place my feet on every step.The stairs were narrow and curved in an S shape. The space got larger when we got to the larger part of the stairs and it opened to another big hall. The hall was empty and our voices echoed as we speak. There was nothing notable about the hall as it looks like the one that is up. Master Leao led the way to a rigid-looking iron door on one side of the hall. The door has a wheel at its center and requires a pattern to be unlocked.Master Leao went ahead and made some marks on the wheel. The wheel began to roll on its own after Master Leao finished whatever thing that he was doing on it and soon after the door

Underground
Lewis and the seniors did as I have told them. They wouldn't intend to flaunt my words remembering what I did to them.They did so well that the school got a hang of the things happening even before they reported themselves. If Lewis decides to report Alex now, then he will most likely not be believed.The school found it weird that the students came out and reveal themselves. Just like that!. The bruises on Lewis had raised suspicions but they wouldn't dare to reveal the person behind it.The students that have been robbed off their food items got their items back and Alex's situation was solved that way. The situation was a lot easier to handle than I thought.The next day was the day we were meant to meet Master Leao. I didn't bother to look for more students to take the number to 7. The lesser the better. I had passed information across to all the members the previous day. It was something easy as we are all in the martial arts class. I most times have Jane by my side, Alex has b

Planting Fear
"Your time's up," I said.If the other students are as strong as Lewis, then I might have trouble dealing with all of them at once. There are four of them and just me after all.I never wanted them to accept my offer and I didn't expect them to either. They may accept to return the things they collected from the students and also promise me that they won't report Alex but it won't be something that can be guaranteed. They may accept just because they are scared of my appearance and the fact that I discovered them, but all of that could be thrown away along with their promises once my back is turned. The best way to resolve this is to beat them to submission.I walk towards them, one step after another, slowly, making each step as terrifying as possible. They were bedazzled by my act of arrogance and were still in a daze when I got to the first person.I flung my legs across the average-weight boy, adding enough strength so he won't be getting back up to cause more trouble.

Your Time’s Up
People having powers has become a myth in this age. It has become something we read in books, see in pictures, and just wow about them.We have been taught that the people who created Silverland were powerful and that it was through their powers that they defeated all the strong and dangerous beasts on the land at that time. It has been said that some people still have the powers like these people today. I never thought I would ever see one and if I did, I wouldn't have thought it would be a student in my school."Lewis and the seniors know about it" Alex whispered. "They know I have powers. I haven't told anyone in this school except you, so I don't know how they found out""How do you know that they know? Did they tell you or something?" I asked.Before Lewis and the others found out that Alex has some kind of powers, he has always been subjected to bullies. They will take some of his food and let him do work for them.Alex doesn't know how they found out that he has powers but it

Power
The students were starting to leave after the fight ended. It fight has become a new trend among the students in martial arts class. The student had jumped from number 52 to number 4. It was probably the greatest leap ever by a student.Lewis got off the floor after some time. He dusts off his cloth like nothing happened and left the hall silently. He was no longer in pain, it looks like so.The boy was still standing in the same spot when everyone left. He didn't do any celebration whatsoever when he won the fight and he just stood there still looking as feeble as when he was walking up to the stage.After a while, Master Leao went to do his own thing and almost all the students had left the hall then. The boy finally left the hall.I told Jane to go ahead and not wait for me. She protested that she wanted to follow me but the boy might not be comfortable if we meet him together so I asked her to stay behind.Something looks to be troubling the boy. The fight didn't seem to have sett

Number 52
I was still bleeding when the hooded person left. The cut was a little bit deep but I tore a part of my cloth and cover the wound with it. I lay on the floor having lost so much blood already. The energy surprisingly has not turned off. It was still active. This time though, it was not growing. It has been at a standstill for some time now, perhaps, since I was cut. It wasn't supplying me with an insane amount of energy like during a fight. The energy has rather gathered around my chest and it was somehow healing the wound from inside.I decided to stay on the rooftop for some time before returning to my dorm. I was feeling weak and end up falling asleep. Blood had stopped coming out of the wound when I woke up. It was healing as well. The energy was still active but it was reducing rapidly. It was like it gets used up as the wound heals.I untied the cloth on the wound after some time and it was at a point where I would not feel a lot of pain from it. I left the rooftop past midni

The Rooftop
Some people would jump at kind opportunities that guarantee them power over other humans. It is human nature. Humans crave power. They want to have dominion over other people and exploit them in the long run. I do not wish to be Rio's boss. I have never wanted to be. I proposed the deal to be his boss so I could keep him away from my things in the future. If I accept to be his boss and start ordering him around, then I would be just like those that I loathe so much.Rio was still kneeling in front of me. I was at a loss for words initially, and so did Katie and Jane. "We didn't bring you here because of the deal you guys made," Jane said "It is for an entirely different purpose and it'll be nice if you listen to us first. You can sort out your issues later."I was glad that Jane bailed me out of that so I quickly backed her."That's true. Let's talk about that later," I said and helped Rio back to his feet. "Promise us you won't reveal whatever thing that will be said here to anyon

Boss
I intend to get the five or seven people Master Leao had asked me to select as soon as possible. I already have Jane and Katie in mind so I just need to look for two more people at least.I rushed to the dorm as I had told Jane. I met her waiting on my bunk. She was the only one in the room as none of my roommates are in the room at that time."Let's go to the rooftop" I requested.It was twilight. Students have finished every activity for the day and are making preparations for dinner. The view from the rooftop is grandiose. The students walking around the school, the high buildings around the school, and the bushes beyond the school building."It is beautiful. Isn't it?" Jane asked."What's that" I replied."The view from this place. The serenity. The sky, those few stars, the wind, and everything. They are beautiful, aren't they?" Jane asked as the wind blew her hair over her face."They are," I said. "It's the serenity that bothers me though.""I'm sure you brought me here for a r

Meeting Master Leao
Master Leao is always at the martial arts hall. That is his office and he rarely leaves there, except at nights. Most times, when you enter the martial arts hall, you either meet Master Leao punching thin air while doing back flips and sending kicks mid-air or sitting with his legs crossed inside and his hands stretched out making a V shape.That's Master Leao in summary. Train, train, and train. He would spar with everyone in class standing on one spot and anyone who manages to make him move a leg would be given something. We would put our all into the spar with him, and fight like our lives depend on it. For sure, we know Master Leao was a man of his word and his gift would not be little either so we fight for the reward.Only one student has managed to make Master Leao move his legs. Notwithstanding that it was through sly means. That student was me.I had offered to spar with the master that day. I was bent on making him move a leg and a good idea popped up in my head. 'As long
