The way Cherry and Steven were smiling did not sit well with Kendrick.“What do you mean by that?” Adrian asked, stepping forward.“I'm just asking a question. Are you sure we won't be able to get the glue?” Cherry asked again.That question alone was able to unsettle the group.“Kendrick is with the glue and there's nothing you'll do about it.” Jayson said.Steven laughed so hard that tears were pouring from the corner of his eyes.“Dear cousin, are you really with the glue?” He asked.“Hold up,” Kendrick said, going to his car to check his bag but the scroll was nowhere to be seen. He searched and searched for a while.“What's going on?” Zara asked, scared when she saw Kendrick coming back. He looked distraught.The siblings laughed when they saw the look on Kendrick's face.“What's the problem coz?” Cherry said smiling. “Couldn't find it?”“You stole it,” Kendrick stated matter of fact.“Why yes. You let your guard down so I had to step up. You shouldn't let your guard down so easi

Who are you?” Kendrick asked, marching towards them.Zara and Jayson were confused as they looked between the siblings and then Kendrick.“Is something wrong?” Zara asked just as Adrian's car arrived, followed by Lizzy.“Why is everyone coming back?” Jayson asked but got no reply.Cherry avoided Kendrick’s eyes, while Steven stayed too close to her, whispering in a language no one knew. “Whatever the fuck you're saying to her, say it out loud so that we can all hear you.” Kendrick snapped. He was beyond pissed. Why couldn't he get a moment's rest? They didn't allow him to breathe, and now they were throwing things his way. He just got back from a life and death mission for Christ sake and the least he wanted was rest even if it was for the day not they made it impossible.Zara began to shift from Steven and Cherry along with Jayson when she saw what was happening.“Kendrick, what the hell is happening?” She asked.Stepping forward, Lizzy glared at Cherry and Steven. Her glare was so

Steven, Cherry’s brother, approached quietly. “What’s got you muttering and mind telling me why you don't seem happy?”“How about you mind your business and who the heck are you?” She asked, giving him a look over. She had seen him earlier but then she didn't seem to care as long as he didn't cause problems for her.Smiling, Steven stretched out his hand. “I'm Steven but you can call me Steve,” he said but noticed that Melissa didn't look interested in shaking his hand or engaging with him. He scoffed softly, still managing a smile. “Well, that beautiful lady over there is my sis,” and that seemed to have caught Melissa's attention.She had a scowl on her face. “So that filthy whore is your sister?” “Watch it. That's my sister you're talking about and I won't let you say anything about her.“Yeah yeah, whatever,” she said, looking at Kendrick and Cherry as they looked good talking together and she didn't like it.“Does your sister have no shame? Throwing herself on a man? “Says the

The vault lay beyond a guarded ruin, it was protected by guards with weapons who looked like they feed on human flesh.Cherry whispered, “Don’t be scared of them.”“Don't be scared of them you say? Have you seen their faces? They look like they haven't eaten in a long time and if we are not careful, we might be their next course of meal,” Bryan said, horrified with the looks they were receiving.“These people have respect for those that are brave. They don't like cowards or losers who always show how weak they are” Cherry said, looking at Kendrick briefly before turning away looking at Bryan. “So you better wipe that fear away from your face unless you want to be killed.“Who said I was scared,” Bryan huffed, puffing out his chest.Cheery sighed, rolling her eyes as they began walking towards the cave.The cave mouth loomed like a wound in the mountain, breathing cold air into the dusk. Iron torches burned on either side of the entrance. The group could see movement as they raised up

While still on the mission, Kendrick noticed that the interference they were facing on the way was becoming impossible to ignore.Paths Kendrick had mapped were suddenly blocked. Guards appeared with knowledge they shouldn’t have had. Even the locals began watching them too closely. They were facing problems which they shouldn't have been facing at a time like this.“Something's going on. I can feel it in the air. The shift and the change,” Jayson said.“Someone is feeding them information that they aren't supposed to know,” Zara said quietly as they hid behind a collapsed arch.Cherry nodded. “And I think I recognize these people.”Jayson frowned. “Students?”“Yes,” Cherry replied. “From your school.”Kendrick’s gaze shifted Cherry as he looked at her skeptically.“What?” She asked.“How did you know they were from our school?” Immediately Kendrick asked that question, all eyes were on Cherry. She sighed, rolling her eyes. “I don't think there's anybody who doesn't know the studen

Kendrick clenched his jaw but played along. They were really wasting time. “Then why don't you listen to us and see if we really talk big.”Kendrick and his friends were allowed through, though there were still seeds of distrust which still lingered in every glance. Melissa leaned toward Kendrick again.“You see? This world will only make sense to us now. If we get back together, I'm sure the world will know more about us.”“Only to you, if that's what you mean,” Zara snapped.Melissa laughed coldly. “You are behaving as if you have a crush on him and won’t last a day without him. Are you his bodyguard? Should I employ you since you're good at your job”“Hey! Shut up.” Zara snapped.“No, you shut up. That's what you're good at. Always being the least person who doesn't get recognised. It's really a shame.”Kendrick stopped walking. “Enough. Both of you.”The silence that followed was heavy.Later, inside a stone tavern thick with smoke, Kendrick forced himself to smile, to listen, and
