Liam continued looking at the three companions as they got into the car and zoomed off at once without turning around to look at him. It was obvious that he had succeeded in making them really nervous, something that no one in the school had been able to do. “How do you feel? Relieved?” Brina’s voice called Liam back to reality, causing him to sigh heavily in an attempt to get rid of some of the anger that was still surging through his veins. “No, I am not. I will be when I eventually make them pay.” “I am sure you will make them pay in due time. For now, can we focus on going to the sta…What was it you called it again?” “Parking lot…” “Yes! The parking lot. Go to the parking lot, someone is there waiting for you.” Liam sighed again, and then he turned around slowly and started to walk toward the parking lot, struggling to get rid of the anger that engulfed him entirely. He got to the parking lot in less than five minutes, and then he scoured the entire place in anticipa
The cars drove through the avenue that led to the modern Castle that stood in the middle of the last land surrounded by beautiful gardens, and a tall water fountain flowing in front of it. Liam marveled at the sight before him, and he couldn't get his eyes off the tall building that had huge windows positioned at several corners of it. The Castle stood tall like a mountain, and the magnitude of its size was enough to tell that it had stood firm for a very long time. “What is this place?” “This is your new home, Emrys. As the heir of the divine, you deserve to stay in a place meant for kings. You are a great warrior, and you should be treated like one.” Brina responded almost immediately while Liam kept his eyes on the castle that drew closer with every passing second as the cars drove toward it. Eventually, they parked in front of the Castle, and one of the guards who alighted from the car in front quickly rushed in and opened the backseat for Liam who got down slowly. Just
Brina looked at herself for a while, and when she realized that she looked really nice in the outfit she had on, she snapped her fingers and changed instantly into a different outfit. “How is this?” She looked at Liam who nodded almost immediately while his smile remained unpaired. “How do they walk in these?” Brina felt the discomfort on her feet as she stood with the two long heels she was putting on. She attempted to walk toward Liam, but she eventually had to stop after struggling with about three steps. “You will eventually get used to it,” Liam said, but before he could think of something else to say, Brina changed into her white dress which Liam had seen her with during their first encounter. “I think I am better with this.” She sighed slightly, and without letting go of her smile, she looked at Liam’s outfit which she was certain needed to be discarded. “I think you should change into something else, Emrys. You don not want to be the reason why many people are forced
Almost startled by her presence, Liam turned to look at Brina who had had her gracious smile intact and admired him from a short distance. “I think we might need to do something about that.” Brina pointed to the amulet that bulged up from inside his suit, and then she walked up to Liam who was curious to know what she was up to. “Let’s see…” Brina moved her head backward a bit and after she had observed the amulet for a while, she snapped her fingers, and it changed into a silver necklace with a small pendant that was shaped like an ace. “There… I think that’s better.” She nodded in satisfaction while Liam felt the weight of the amulet lessen and was forced to reach out to the inside of his cream shirt. “What?” He said softly as he pulled out the necklace, and looked at it with his eye widened. “You like?” Brina inquired with an anticipatory smile, but Liam’s countenance gave way to a gloom that appeared a few seconds later. Realizing that he was saddened by the memories t
Brina sat down beside Liam who slept peacefully until the next morning with a smile that showed how peaceful his sleep night was. “Emrys! Wake up!” Her loud whisper resonated in Liam’s ears, causing him to grunt as he turned to the other side with his eyes still closed, and his arms widely spread across the bed. “Emrys! Wake up!” Brina tapped Liam on the forehead, and he opened his eyes instantly, groaning as he turned to his right. “I had the most amazing dream last night. I wish it could come to pass.” Liam said with a weak tone, and then he turned to the other side of the bed, yawning with his eyes closed. “Whoa!” He almost jumped out of the bed as soon as he saw Brina seated on the bed with a smile on her face. “Good Morning, Emrys. I can see that you slept well.” “It wasn't a dream?” Liam wiped his eyes with both hands and when he was done, he blinked severally to be sure he wasn't hallucinating. “You are real.” He slowly touched Brina who chuckled softly while look
Liam got into the white Bugatti as soon as the Chauffeur opened the door for him, and they drove straight to Hilton’s college, moving through the avenue that led to the students’ parking lot until Andy parked the car, and alighted at once to get the door for Liam who was at the back seat. At that point, the attraction of all the students who were in and around the parking lot marveled at the sight of the exotic car that they had not seen before on the school premises. Sights of admiration were gazed at Liam as he stepped out of the car, and adjusted his clothes with a confident smile on her face. Coincidentally, Larry was also at the park with Pamela and Dan, and his spotlight was stolen from him as everyone who usually wanted a photo of him or just wanted to say hi including the ladies changed their focus to Liam whose entire appearance was both intriguing and catchy. “Who the hell is that?” Larry’s eyes stared curiously at Liam who was surrounded by almost all the students in
The three companions continued to stare at the building where Liam had entered even though he was out of sight. The silence that existed in their midst was accompanied by a lot of suspense and tension that made them very afraid. At that moment, most of the students who were busy talking about the new hot student had started heading to their various classrooms, ignoring Larry and his companions whose time had elapsed entirely. “How did he know about Liam?” Dan broke the silence after a long time, and then he changed his focus to Pamela who was dealing with the guilt that surged through her veins even though she tried to hide it. “Pamela?” Larry called out to her with a low but firm tone, trying to be confident even though he was very nervous. “Did you tell anyone about Liam?” Larry asked with a low tone that also expressed his nervousness, but Pamela felt offended by his words and lifted her eyebrows in shock. “Why would you even ask me that? I mean, why would I tell anyone a
Liam became the hottest topic in school that morning as everyone who saw him walking through the hallway had their eyes on him, wondering who he was, and when he had gotten into the school. On the other hand, he knew his way around the school, and that made everyone who saw him walking confidently to the locker room for the senior students to wonder how he was able to know all of that since he was evidently new to the school. Most of the new students who had come to the school always needed someone to show them around, but the dashing young man seemed to know even more than some older students. The bell had stopped ringing for the students to move to their classrooms, but some of them were still standing along the hallway, talking about the new student or some other topic that they had left out as a result of the weekend. Liam listened attentively to know if any other person was going to talk about him and the tragic incident, but it seemed as though he didn't matter at all. A
