(Erica has been Kidnapped)
By: Kelvin Ajayi??
The People of Fell Hills have been in great grief for the loss of their brave King.
A King who make their kindom to be popular, a king who makes other kingdom to fear them, it was indeed a bad day for the people.
The Priest and Mr. Williams arrived and the palace and met a lot of people mourning the king’s death.
The whole chiefs was present and they all had a crumbled look on their face.
“Silent everyone. The Priest is here to tell us about the death of our great king” one of the chief announced and everywhere became silent like a graveyard.
Only the sniffles and Whimpers could be heard among the people.
The priest shook his head pretenciously and faced the people.
“No one killed the king…The sickness killed him” he stated as the noise came out once again.
“It’s a lie! We don’t believe you.”
“Someone killed him”
“Our King can’t die because of a common sickness! No” the crowd shouted and the priest became agitated.
“If any one makes just one false statement, i’ll put the person on hot heels” he threatened and everywhere became silent.
Then he turned to the rest chiefs.
“According to the gods, he should be buried before the sunset tommorow and no burial should be made for him” the priest instructed and everyone gasped.
No what??
“No Burial??” one of the chief asked.
“You heard me right” the priest snapped.
“But why?” another chief asked.
“I Can’t tell you but if you’re still interested to know, then consult the gods by yourself” he thundered as he turned and walked away.

The priest went back to his shrine and met a gaurd wating for him, with a scroll folded on his hand.
“Greetings, wise one. I have a message for you. It’s from King Zain.” the gaurd said, stretching out the scroll to the priest.
“From Master Zain, right?” the priest asked as he collected the scroll.
“Yes my Priest” the gaurd nodded his head in affirmative.
He entered his shrine and began to unroll the scroll.
“Be carefull of the ways you treat the people of Fell Hills. It’s for your own benefit because if this continue to happen, i’ll challenge you into fight in your kingdom” the Priest read aloud as he squeze the paper.
Hi tightened his fist in anger.
“If he wants war, let him come at any time i’m always ready.” The priest said in a gruffy tone as he layed on the bed know knowing what to do.

After the long drive, the car finally screeched to an halt in front of the school compound as Erica smiled and alighted from the car.
“What about the novel i was reading?” Erica asked.
“I’ve told you countless times today that i don’t want you to read any supernatural stories again” the driver cautioned.
“I Don’t wanna read it. I just want to return the novel to my classmate whom i borrowed the novel from” Erica said in a pleading tone.
“Okay. But promise me you won’t read it” the driver said.
“Ok, have it” the driver said and gave her back the novel.
“Such a peacock!” Erica mumbled whisperingly.
“I Heard that” the driver smirked.
“I’m sorry and make sure you arrive early or i’m gonna kick your ass” she said playfully and the driver burst out laughing.
“Erica, when will you ever change?” the driver said, as the laugh fade away.
“See you later, bye” she said and scurried down her class.
“I Don’t think i can keep to my promise anymore. I must finish this story before giving it back to my friend – Linda.
Not when i found that Raymond is in another dimension” she thought in her head as she entered the class room and met the class already filled up.
Erica heaved a sigh of relief when she discovered there was no teacher in the class.
She rushed to her seat, say ‘Hi’ to her seatmate before she continue reading the novel.
“Hi” she heard a voice as she turned and notice it was the class captain – Skylar.
“Hello” she replied perfuntoniry.
“What novel is that?” she asked.
“THE MAGICIANS By Author Kelvin” she replied.
“Wow! I’ve read the story” the boy said and Erica smiled.
“I Don’t think you’ve read it” Erica said.
“Oh, why don’t you ask me questions about the story?” Skylar said and Erica shrug and turned to the book.
“Okay. So what powers do Taylor control in the story.
“Air” he replied sharply.
“I Think you guessed it..Why did Eunice travel to the Yan Zone?” Erica asked.
“To get to destory the S.T.A.R Because of the talisman and also to revenge her death” Skylar replied.
“Wow! It’s seems you’ve read the story” Erica agreed.
“Yeah. But do yu believe those things are real here in Atlancia or it is only earth?” Skylar asked.
“You’re asking me as if i’ve gone to earth before. Anyways, in my own oppinion, i’ll say they do exists because they look real in the novel” Erica said.
“Alright, bye” Skylar waved as he turned and walked away.
“Yeah” i replied as i watch him sit on his seat.
“He seems friendly. I can’t believe he actually talk to me after five years i’ve been in this school”
“Anyways, i don’t care” Erica thought and continue reading the novel and soon, she was done with it.
A Tears dropped from her eyes when i realized it’s the end.
So interesting!?
Erica wiped the tears in her eyes and jurt then, Linda.
“Linda!” Erica squealed as she stood up and ran to her, embracing her tightly.
“How’re you doing, Erica?” she asked as they disengaged from the hug and return to their seat.
“Fine as usual and you?” Erica replied, beaming with smiles.
“I’m good”
“Why are you late to school?” Erica pouted her lips.
“Uhm….Traffic” she replied.
“And Cartoon, right?”
“Of course” she replied and ended up laughing.
“Try that with my mon and you’ll regret ever having a TV” Erica said and Linda arched her brows.
“Well, that’s because she’s a Queen. That’s how rulers behave, they’re too strict” Linda stated.
“I’m a princess. Why i’m i not strict?” Erica asked further.
“When those two balls over your chest are fully big and you’ve given your virginity to your husband, you’ll understand” Linda pointed out whisperingly.
“Gosh! Linda, don’t spoil me” Erica said as she closed her ear.
They began laughing.
“I’m done with the novel. Thanks. You can have it” Erica handed the book to her.
“Oh, you’re welcome” she replied as she collected the book and placed it into her bag.
“The first period has started the teacher is not yet in the class…why don’t we go to the staff room and inform the teacher since the class captain dosen’t know his job?” Linda asked.
“Sure” Erica stood up and walked out of the class.
They began walking and suddenly, Erica felt the urge to pee.
“I’m coming Linda. I want to ease myself” Erica rushed to the rest room and qucikly let out the liquid substance.
She exhaled lightly as she wore back her clothes and came out of the toilet.
Immediately, the met the guy who has been monitoring her (wearing a black outfits), standing close to her.
“Y..You” she went shut of words.
“Suprise to see me, huh?” she unkown guy said and smirked.
“He…Help…Help” she was about to scream when the guy grab hold of her and quickly covered her mouth. Only the echo of her voice could be heard in the rest room.
The unknown guy brought out an injection for his pocket and quickly inject it in Erica’s waist.
Soon, she felt dizzy and immediately she passed out and fell unconscious on the ground.
The unkown guy smirked evily as he brought out his phone and dialed a number.
Almost immediately, the person picked up.
“Boss, i have her now, she has been captured”
“Alright. Bring her to my chambers” the person on the phone said.
“Okay Boss. Just give me thirty minutes” the unkown guy said as he dropped the phone on his pocket, grab Erica’s body and left the rest room.
