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

"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
