INTRODUCTION
I went to a market close to where I live to get what I would eat for the whole day.
I heard a loud voice screaming. “Get her!"
“Here she comes, get her!" Zuian yelled.
Soldiers ran after me firing gunshots at me.
I jumped on the roofs of the building
“Arrgh!" The soldiers groan climbing over the rooftop also, as they continued shooting me.
I ran jumping so fast at the rooftop, making the soldiers difficult to aim their guns at me.
“What... Kill the damn girl, is it too difficult for you all? Zuian yelled. He took his personalized equipped gun and shoot it at me.
“Argh!" I groaned in pain. I closed my eyes to endure the pain still feeling it at my side rib. I then jumped into a small window entering someone's house, I stopped at a small room. I touched the hurting part of my ribs.
“Blood!” I yelled out seeing my hands stained with blood. I collapsed falling unconscious...
Eighteen-Years-Back
“Hey honey, aren't you going for your business trip today?" Liam Lucas said to his wife-lysha.
“No am not... Am not going for the year" lysha responded with a low voice looking downward.
“What's wrong with you, are you okay," Liam said, getting closer to lyha.
“It breaks me, honey"
“Hun, what's breaking you, you are acting weird"
“It been fifteen years or so, and we haven't been able to make our babies." Lysha broke into tears.
“Ohh dear, it breaks me too, but you don't have to cry" Liam wipes lyha tears off her cheeks...
“Really? I'd think it better if I found a better man who's able of giving me my child than staying here with you being filled with false hope"
“No... You don't have to say that, remember the oath we made together?"
Lysha continued weeping bitterly, she ran out of the house
“Hey, where to? Please come back!" Liam tried to stop his wife but he couldn't. He stood still for a moment, he shaded tears...
Lysha walked through the door passing a narrow way through to the kitchen - she was wounded...
”Hey honey, where did you go," he didn't see the wound all over lyhsa's body at first... He screamed when he saw her wounded body “what happened to you? Why are you wounded? Besides, you didn't tell me about your whereabouts and now you are here with injuries." Liam yelled trying to calm down.
Lysha scoffed.
“I was beaten by some ladies on my way, at the..." Lysha slowly said.
“You were beaten up!? At where" Liam said - he was tempered.
“Close to the slums," lysha said.
Liam walked out of lysha putting on his jacket, he slammed the door closed in anger.
“Hey, hon, where to?" Liam asked.
Liam continued walking away. He jumped into the air...
He landed down on a building roof close to the slums.
“Did anyone hear that, did anyone hear that strange sound up the roof?" Jedi asked. - he loved drinking and was also huge. He stepped out of the building to check who was it.
“Hey witch, what are you doing on my building top, you better get off there," Jedi said.
“Am not here to exchange a word with you or to fight but let this be as a warning to you, I don't want to ever hear it... I don't want to hear that you ever lay your hands on my wife or any of my properties!" Liam yelled out.
“How serious? You keep saying this again and again," Jedi said giggling.
“I just came to remind you that I Am Lucas... Liam"
“Liam, you are seriously making me laugh, you lost your powers many centuries, so at least just keep your trash close... And you aren't Lucas anymore!" Jedi laughed mercilessly.
Liam jumped off the roof...
Liam slammed back into his house. He pulled off his jacket, he sat on a seat. He breathes deeply.
“Dear, I hope you didn't do anything nasty," lyha said.
“Nasty?, am I a kid, I don't joke around honey," Liam said.
“I just hope you get forgiven for whatever you did" lyha said.
“Phew, that's not important... I didn't expect you to say so" he angrily stood up going outside. He resided on a fallen tree close to the stream...
“Hey lovable, sorry for what I said but I might sound right" Lysha held Liam's shoulders and sat beside him.
“Something must be done about it anyway... Something must be done" said Liam.
“So what are you doing about it?" Lysha asked.
“Well, will see about that" Liam stood, and he jumped into the stream -hey honey, why don't you come and swim with me"
“Ohh really? But sorry, I don't swim in the water, it is not too good for me, you should know that by now" said lysha
“Really?"
“Liam swim out of the stream. He walked beside lysha and pushed lysha into the stream. Lysha gasped trying to hold her breath but seems impossible for her.
“Help... Help me, am dying" lysha battled to say draining gradually into the water...
Liam jumped back into the water, he pulled lysha out of the water laying her on the wet grit helplessly. Liam pushed down her chest up and down but she didn't respond to it. He holds his breath for a long while and gusts it into lysha mouth. She shivered to cough out water from her mouth.
“Hey can't you swim?" Liam asked. He took a deep breath.
“I thought I explained everything to you earlier," lysha managed to say something.
“How did you expect me to know that," Liam said. He assisted his wife up. “so why don't you like swimming or you can't swim? What are the reasons?" Liam gradually Said.
...“Since my parents died through a sea wave causing a huge flood... Since then I felt hostility toward any water settlement" lysha said, tears falling through her cheek.
“So sad, sorry I inquired, so when did this happen?" Liam gently wiped off lysha tears.
“When I was six... I was six then, I guessed I'd already told you this earlier. But is like you were too busy to listen to what I had to tell you" lysha deeply mumbled.
“Am sorry hon, I now need to put a smile on your beautiful face since you are uncomfortable with our current circumstances and I must put an end to it" Liam said...
