Chore of Holders

Chapter one

“In the name of lord, I Martin Holder command to transmit my powers to my descendant after two

centuries, whoever hold these powers, will be from my family and will always work for the good and fight

against the Devil, after 200 years there will be a revival of history and my descendant will fight against it,

I am proud that I fought for good. I am dying all aged and tired but with a hope and a gift for my

generation, I am.... satisfied and happy old man who is... near death... I am a warrior, dying as a warrior...

here he is, the angel to take me.....”

Martin Holder, the greatest man considered of his era because he fought against the rivalry community

who were so deprived of good and were soaked in dark black magic, that they even killed several people

and wanted to rule the world. They wanted every single human being on earth to worship their Devil

and become their slave. He was the one who stood up, investigated and explored their main center of

worship. He fought with them for so many days with his team, his army was consisted of 6000 people

who were well trained with the swords and his army was over all skilled. They had to fight against them

by entering their secret dungeon where they used to practice all their evil acts along with black magic.

The war was about 17 days longer and at the end, Martin’s army managed to enter their dungeon and

killed them all. The war was so intense that only Martin survived and at the end he was all alone left in

that dark dungeon with dozens of dead bodies and blood all over the floor with skeletons for black

magic. He somehow managed to push himself out of the dungeon, though he was severely injured and

out of energy. When he came back, he became known to the world, the world called him the savior and

people started praising him and thanking him. He was indeed one of the greatest fighters of the history.

This great story is something that we value a lot, as it is of our family’s ancestors, we kids have been

listening to it since our childhood that our great greatest grandfather 200 years back proved to be a

hero and that we are proud of being his generation. But one important thing to note here is that

according to the stories narrated by our family adults, the great Martin said that one of his descendants

from his generation would possess his powers and it would be a gift to the world after 200 years, the history would repeat itself and he would fight against the evil once again. And boom! It is exactly 200 years

after Martin’s words. I think this is the main reason why our family is so concerned about the young kids

of our family specially my age. We are total 7 youngsters currently in our family and we have all eyes on

us. I am Alex Braham Holder, Holder is our family name, and I am 23 years of age, I have one more sister

and she is younger, she is 18 years of age. I am currently doing my bachelors from The Luke University in

Industrial management. My father, Braham Stone Holder, is a lawyer and my mother Sophia Braham

Holder is a well known writer and she is also running her side business of bakery. My sister helps my

mum in her baking, though they have several workers there at the bakery to work and to manage, but

my mother loves to visit it daily and to work there as much as she can. All my childhood, I have seen a

strong bond between my parents, they share an unbreakable bond, they are busy at times that they

often do not get enough time to even have dinner together, despite of this all, they have managed to

hold each other tightly all these years and now people adore them as the loveliest couple. Our family is

very well known because we are Holders, and we have some historical names from our family, we

belong to a royal background, our family has served to the country in many ways, we have given so

many great army officers of the history and have some great business man of the country. My father is

also a very well known lawyer who is popular due to many reasons, mostly because of his success and

nature to speak truth without getting afraid of anyone.

Now it is 21st century and here we are in 2020, into the highest technological era. World’s population

has increased, everything has changed and modified. We live in a world full of hustle bustle, we see

people all around daily, and we interact with so many people through different mediums. Even I live in

the middle of the New York City in a luxurious house, thanks to my parents and my family name.

It is a bright sunny day, I heard the chattering of birds outside my window, and decided to wake up finally; I checked my phone and saw it was around 12. “Good afternoon” I nodded and saw Samantha setting up a coffee table for me along with my breakfast. I stood up to take shower. After 15 minutes I came back and Samantha was standing besides coffee table with a wide smile on her face, it was peculiar as she usually does not smile that wide, I mean she does often but not this much. I asked her “Hey, what you’re laughing at? Do I look weird?” to which she replied, “No Alex, it’s just you are all grown up and mature” God, she is such a pure soul, a gift to me and my sister, basically to our family, because she has been living with us since she was just 18, my mother found her from the street fainted, she was severely injured and could not walk, my mother helped her and accommodated her in her hardest time. She belongs to a very conservative French family and they are basically immigrants, her greedy father pushed her out of the house and asked her to never return. She does not have any siblings, after migration her mother ran away with a cobbler and never came back. She was sold to a man who was twice her age and she ended up seeking for shelter in rainy night of New York street. My mother brought her home that night and took care of her like her own younger sister, she loves her so much.

Since then, Samantha has been living with us and she even studied and she helps in my mom’s business

as well. I know you are thinking that she must be married, but surprisingly, no she is still unmarried. And

by the way, she is not that elder, she is just 7 years older than me, she just turned 30 this year.

I looked inside her blue eyes, I must say French people are beautiful, specially this woman standing right

in front of me, “Aw come on do not look at me like that, I might fall for you and see I am a complete

man now” I winked at her and she smiled back. I always joke around her and I try to flirt and she

responds as if she is unaffected, I and my sister Hailey are close to her because we share a bond like

siblings. Even Hailey is closest to Samantha because they have been together for a long time now and

they got to spent more time with each other unlike me who was always a nerd but fun loving as well.

Its almost 6 in the evening and after visiting my mum’s bakery “feast” I drove back to home. My dog

Zorro saw me and started running towards me. I played with him for about 15 minutes until he got tired

and asked for food, I gave him his favorite snacks. As I was pouring milk into the glass, I heard my mobile

ringing in the background, I suddenly realized that I forgot to get ready for the hangout, my friends have

planned to go to a nearby coffee shop and I had to be there at 6:30 sharp, “Oh shoot” I said in

frustration. I picked up the call and abruptly said that I would be there in 10 minutes.
