Chapter Eight: The unknown is known.
992 Words
That figure I sighted looked like that of Favour, could it be that he planned the the whole arrest?, because it is this same man that was the commander of the force, I thought he was a protector or guardian of this world?, Maybe that's not what he meant, maybe he is a bad guy, someone that was sent to earth to drag me here so they could arrest me. But he told me that was meant to save the world, this don't make sense, is an undercover or he is really evil, does this mean he was lying to me all along?, maybe this is another person, it can't be him, I asked myself lots of questions over and over again, why me?.
I put aside my trembling though and co concentrated on Clara for some questions that involve this prison, "So, why are you in prison?"
"Well, I was born here as a twin, but the rules in this stupid world is 'No one most have identical twins,' so they killed my parents and sliced of the he…. Head, the head of my sister, and kept it in the security station," Clara explained with lots of tears holding up in her eyes, it took some time before she let everything out.
"Am so sorry," I said with my hands wide open for her to embrace me, we both stayed in the warm hug for sometime before Clara pulled out to ask her question.
"So, what about you?"
"I guess, erm, I really don't know, erm, the police just found me and placed me here, maybe I have done something wrong before and they just arrested me" I lied, because I don't know if I can trust her, and I don't know what she'll tell them if I tell her the truth, I really don't want to lose a friend I just met.
"Oh, that's weird, but anyways, what about your parents?" She asked with my eyes wide open.
"Erm…., I lost them" I repeatedly lied.
"What happened to…." Before she finished her sentence I quickly interrupted.
"I guess questions about our personal life is over, let's talk about the rules and regulations"
"Oh, okay"
After a ridiculous long hours of questions about the prison rules and regulations I decided to take an afternoon nap, during the questioning Clara tried twisting things around to bring out the fact of personal questioning, but I tried as much as possible to escape from the awkward moment.
Waking me up from my afternoon sleep was great power coming from everywhere in my body, disturbing my prison mate who was hugging the wall with her back trying not to get hurt from my sudden power bust but at the same time she is getting a good view of the situation, lucky for us the security man was at sleep and other prison wasn't in the perspective of our view.
"What's happening!?" I said with my whole body on the air and the whole prison filled with blue fire flames.
"Chioma, what is happening to you?" Clara said with her awful pronunciation of my name.
Before I could reply to that, every power source in the cell vanished and immediately after that I fell hard to the ground.
"Ouch"
"You better start talking" Clara strikes.
"Would you believe that I didn't know what happened to me?" I asked in a sarcastic speech.
"Security" Clara threatened with her words.
"Okay Okay, Please don't call them, I will explain" I agreed.
"You better, because I knew something was up when you were cutting me off each time I asked about your real life experience" she complained.
We both sat down as I began the chat, "I am not from this world, I am from somewhere else, I am from another world, I am from Nigeria, in planet earth"
"What the heck is Nigeria, or the world?" Clara asked with confusion which looked very weird for me.
"Nigeria is a country from where I come from, and we have lots of country's together in our world" I explain the location.
"One day, I fixed my hands stupidly on an orb that wasn't really my business, after that it drew a big tattoo on my hands," I pulled my sleeves up and stretched my hands up to her to show what I meant.
"I kept this a secret away from my family for a very long time, but there was a day that I met a very handsome man that was named Favour, he told me he was a protector, he said I needed to run far away from my family, that they are in grave danger"
"And you left?" Clara asked.
"Sure, I believed him for an unknown reason, he told me I needed to protect a forgotten world of s*****y, which is this world"
"You surely right about that, they've enslaved is for millions of years"
"That's very obvious, he said the orb I touched gave me the power to defeat all evil,if I can control it, but if a none choose person touches the orb the person would blow up, after I ran very far away from my parents, I lived somewhere else, after a year, this world came to me, and I guess the police got me and here I am"
"So this scene we just experienced was because of the orb you touched a few years ago?" Clara asked.
"Yes"
"So you are meant to be the hero that would save us all" she asked again.
"Yes" I repeated.
"We're going to be saved!" She exclaimed.
"Lower your voice, someone might hear our conversation" I pulled her out of her excitement.
"Sorry about that, I am just too excited," she apologized.
Unknown pov;
"She's going to save this world from us, not on my watch, I have to tell my boss," I said while pulling out my ear against the wall.
