CHAPTER 3
****************************
DAVID P.O.V
‘knock knock knock ‘
Hello David,you in there? I heard peace ask.
‘Come in sis’.I said.
The wooden door opened and she came in looking at me with a strange expression on her face. she was dressed in a black body hug that stopped above her navel and a tight black trouser that is just a little below the knee,matched with a pair of
black boots. Her long black hair was tied in a ponytail style and with a bow and quiver full of
arrows strapped to her back, she looked imposing but not to me.We both share the same fair and slightly tanned skin but all the same she is stunningly beautiful.
‘Don’t tell me you are just waking up’
‘It’s obvious I am….. anything bad there?’
‘This is past 12’she screamed.
‘You can’t be serious peace!!!’ I exclaimed as I got up from bed.
‘Well I will be waiting for you outside’
‘For what’
‘For the practice of course’
ohhh, peace about that….i don’t think it can be possible.
‘Why?’ she asked as she sat down beside me on my bed.
Putting my left arm on her shoulder, I leaned in and whispered.
‘Because I don’t know how I did it’
‘Are you serious?’……But how?
I stood up and began explaining.
I was out in the wander woods yesterday during dinner chewing the apples you gave me when an old man approached me. Frankly speaking the man was creepy and scary. He greeted me calling me the chosen one or something of such if I can
actually remember but I didn’t reply him as I started running home.
‘is that all’
‘Don’t interrupt me’i snapped.
“Okay” she said sparingly grinning.
I was nearing home when something landed in front of me.
“What’s that”
I shot her a glare.
‘Am sorry….. I forgot’ she quickly apologized.
A box with a letter on it is what I saw.The letter was telling me about how amusing it was for me to run and how I will come back looking for him.
‘Him?’
‘Yes,the old man I replied.
‘And the box?’
‘that’s it’ I replied with my finger pointing the box on my cupboard which is beside her.
‘And how did that happen to correlate with the archery practice?’
Am not through baby doll.
I took the box and I started my journey towards home and then I remembered that I was late and you know what dad made me do the other time I came late. Of course.Who wouldn’t remember that..
Headstand for a whole day
‘That’s good’
So I was just thinking that it would be easy for me to get inside if I was invisible and to my utmost surprise I became invisible.
‘What the hell!!!!!!’
Am serious Peace, the same thing happened when you gave me the bow.I was engulfed by a strange feeling,one that I have never felt before and my
hands started acting on their own accord.
‘Does that mean you can be invisible now’ she asked.
‘No’ I replied. I don’t even know how I did it.
****************************
PEACE P.O.V
I took the box and placed it on my palm, examining the medium-sized box.It was smooth and rectangular with no place for opening or closing. It was just smooth with some lines at the top.
‘And how do you open this?’
‘Yet to figure out’ he replied with a shrug.
“I wanna go freshen up peace” I heard him say before he grabbed his toothbrush, towel and some other stuffs and he was out slamming the door
shut. I dropped the box when all my effort to open it was futile.Placing it back on the cupboard,i decided to go get the dickhead his breakfast.

DAVID P.O.V
I met mum and dad on my way to the bathroom.
Dad was seated on a three-sitter cushion chair with mum lying down and placing her head on dad’s lap. It seems they are discussing as dad was stroking her hair.
“Lovers mode on” I guess.
“Morning dad” I greeted.
So,it’s only dad you can see here right? and we are in the afternoon not morning okay?
‘Okay mum’
‘But what’s smelling?’ I asked.
‘Smelling? he said looking at mum
‘Like what?’ He asked again this time looking at
me.
‘Like love’i replied.
Mum sprang to her feet and started chasing me
around the sitting room.
You this sarcastic, sarky, snarky boy. I was laughing as she was giving me a hot chase. I kept on running in circles and she was
very close with a broom in her hand. I don’t even know how she quickly got that.
Just then I saw another figure joining in the chase.
Oh no, peace had joined.
Dad was just laughing at us.
Peace was running at me from behind and mum was coming from the rear with the broom readied in her hand.
“Nowhere to go,you are trapped son” Dad had said.
At the last moment I dived to my side getting out of the way.
Since my move wasn’t expected, mum and peace collided with each other falling simultaneously.
Peace was the first to recover and she came running at me again this time ferociously like that of a beast ready to pounce on its prey. Sensing the signal I ran into the bathroom locking
the door behind.

SEBASTIAN P.O.V
Its just amusing to see everyone in the family happy and laughing. I can’t help but laugh as peace and Rachel collided and with peace standing up to chase David again.
Rachel stood up dusting her orange-coloured flowing mini gown.
“that boy wants me dead” she said practically smiling.
“well,i guess he spoke the truth.i can smell love in the air too” I said laughing and she joined in the laughter.
“You know Rachel,i was wondering when you will
tell him who his real father is.
‘shhhhhhhhhhhhhh’she moved to my side shutting me up.
“Anyone might be listening seb” she said.
“David is in the bathroom and peace just carried David’s food to his room,so no one is listening” I replied.
He is now 15years old Rachel, you should tell him.
I just can’t bring myself to tell him that his real father is Gregor and that his real name is not
David.
I mean how will it sound telling him that his dad his KING GREGOR ALARIC SHANE and that his real name is ARIC SHANE.
you should do before its too late or rather before he finds out himself.
To be continued.....
