Dominic didn't wait before jumping into action. A few people who were waiting at the border were already fighting the incoming warriors. It was a mess because women and children were screaming at the top of their voices and no one knew what to do. They ran as bullets moved through the air like a maze.Selena had jumped out after them. She couldn't stay in that trailer because with her little knowledge of battle strategy, she knew that certain people were aware of her arrival and the enemy would also capitalize on that.Eleanor and a few soldiers were with her as they tried to make sure that no one was able to get through to the women. They locked them in a place that was called the vault. It was left with how they would be able to get out of that place without giving up the location.She signaled to Eleanor who was staring at her warily. " Let's find a way to make sure that we get out of this mess. I'll go out first then you stay with them." Selena shook her head. She didn't feel lik
Selena couldn't move away because two people were watching her now. Any move that she made was going to land her in trouble. So she did the only thing that she could do which was to move to the side to try and understand the perimeter at least to the best of her knowledge. "Are you saying that you don't want to take me with you?" She asked them when they were just staring at her like statues. She tried to scout their faces to see who was Mezeth seeing that they were all wearing masks. She didn't know what to do to make sure that there was no problem.If they were here, who was at the border? "You are just wasting your time with me. Why don't you take me along, the General would come?" This was a bid to distract them from the dungeon that she saw them heading towards. Mezeth halted in his tracks. "Would you lay down your life for people who aren't yours? People who don't even respect you a bit? What do you intend to achieve?" He responded.Selena shrugged, hoping that someone would
Mezeth turned to see his opponent from the beginning of his lifetime here. There was no need for them to have a spar when he could just shoot him and take over his city. He removed his gun and shot Dominic in the arm but was very surprised when it only bounced off and there was nothing that he could do to stop it. "Are you sure that you will be able to kill me? We'll settle this once and for all like the men that we are. Unless, you're scared of my skills. I understand that it can be quite stressful as sometimes you won't know what to do." Dominic taunted him. If there was anything that Mezeth avoided like a plague, it was being seen as weak. That was the bone of contention for ages past. He wanted to prove that he was better than him but that was totally impossible and that made him very annoyed at the immense joy and respect that was showered on Dominic."Why would I be scared of you? I would only want it to happen in the presence of your soldiers to watch how the mighty General h
Diana's grin stretched over her face when she saw the bewildered look in Selena's eyes. Coupled with that, she also loved the brewing storm that made themselves evident in that gaze. It was very suspicious that there was nothing that was stopping both of them from having a spat but they were just going about it civilly."Is there anything you want to say before I blow your brains off? I know that you are having a very hard time comprehending what's going on. But I urge you to make sure that you understand me and say your prayers." Diane bragged Selena was trapped. The murderous look she saw in Diana's eyes told her everything that she needed to know. "How did you discover this place?" She inquired instead, trying to buy time. Diana threw her head back and laughed at Selena who thought that she had everything mapped out. "You can never be smarter than the people who are out to see you or catch you. Just make sure that you don't fall into my trap because I ain't that forgiving." She r
Selena moved when Diana's body dropped close to hers. It was a speedy fall and she didn't know how to stop it.Phew! She heaved a louder sigh of relief as Marcel walked closer and lifted her into his arms. It was obvious that she was unable to move well and he was feeling very bad about that."Hey, thank you so much for helping me out." She muttered.He nodded gently and led her away. When they had gotten to the hill, she tapped him and looked around, the space was empty, the only closest object was a tree very far away."Are you telling me that you don't want to go further?" Selena cast a quick glance around the land and stared at him. "We can't leave this place when they are in trouble. Is there not anything that can be done to make sure that they are in trouble?" She replied.He shook his head. Actually, he had something that he could do which was make sure that there was nothing stopping him from getting her out of this mess."You need to get into the chopper that'd land here in
A wave of peace washed through Selena when she saw Mezeth crashing to the ground. She employed the tactic that many warriors used which was going to actually check if he was dead so that she wouldn't be taken by surprise anymore. There was something great about being the one with the upper hand. It was at the same time that her leg decided to give up. It was probably because the adrenaline had fazed out so she crawled towards Mezeth's body. It was hard to believe that he was dead. He was like a cat with nine lives so one had to catch him before the time. There was nothing that prepared her for the blow that he dove into her face.Then she heard another gunshot ring in the air. This time, Mezeth dropped louder with a greater thud on the ground. This was from the only person that had the right to finish off a person.Dominic.He stood with his legs a few centimeters apart as he tried to understand what was happening. Selena sighed in relief, at least happy that all her efforts weren't
They turned at the noise. It was annoying and at the same time confusing. An annoyed look crossed Dominic's sight as he stared at the man who was acting as though there was a problem that no one was aware of. "What's the problem?" He asked for formality sake."You killed our people and saved yours. I know what exactly is wrong with you and I'm sure that you don't feel remorse." The man broke down into tears leaving everyone feeling tired and weak. Dominic didn't know how to react to the weeping man because it was evident that he was crying from the pain that he felt from probably losing a loved one. It was time to step up as a leader and make his subordinates know that he was just acting a certain way not because he wasn't empathetic, but because he wasn't supposed to be crying instead of taking actions.His eyes swept over each of the people who were there and they held in a bated breath that made him also think of what to say."Like I said the other time, I am very conscious of th
It took a great deal to settle everyone, it took a toll on Dominic. Probably because he was used to a softer life now. He was more into business so he was basically restructuring things so that he would be able to get a lot of things straight.Selena walked behind him clothed in his shirt that only stopped at her mid thigh with a cup of coffee in hand. She peeped over his head and watched the accounts that he was reconciling and saw him yawn a bit. The General was tired and he didn't want to take a nap.Dominic turned as she approached. Her footsteps, however soft, still managed to alert him. She guessed that character would never really leave him because he'd always be thinking about the next thing. He was always a step ahead and wasn't even good at hiding it. "Come here." He pulled her onto his lap gently knowing that she was holding a cup of scalding coffee. He didn't like it so he had no problems with that. "Why are you up?"Selena dropped the cup softly on his table, far away fr
