Resurrection Reborn.

The Hunted.

“The boy is compatible for the vessel, but the other will definitely keep up with it.”

“What should we do?”

“Dispose the other. We only need one.” Suddenly Kevin woke up, breathing heavily, he scanned the whole area but it was too dark for him to see. Then he noticed someone touching his hands, he fretted.

“Shh…stay quiet. Don’t make any move. I was sent by your lecturer to rescue you from this place.” The person whispered behind him, as Kevin felt some tingling around his wrists, Kevin looked to his sides.

“What about my friend, where is he?”

“Am right here, Kevin…..ugh. my face hurt, so bad.” His friend groaned, as the sound of blood splattered to the ground. Kevin looked at all sides as he widened his eyes.

“Friend. Friend!! Are you alright?!” He asked,

“I told you before, didn’t I, call me by my name.” his friend chuckled then groaned.

“Am through.” The person behind him confirmed , immediately grabbing Kevin, sprinting away from were he was, Kevin stretched his hands towards the direction of where he was.

“Let go of me, I need to save my friend, we need to. You need to!” He yelled.

“Keep quiet, you will attract them.”

“Attract who?!”

“Those that lurk in the dark. But don’t worry I will definitely save your….they are coming.”

“Who is coming?!”

“Hold my hand, tightly.” The person said, zooming through a window. About falling, Kevin held the person tightly with a closed eyes, after landing to the ground effortlessly. He felt a little wet and cold, slightly opened is eyes, noticed he was outside the building and it was raining, he looked behind him at the structure he just left.

“This must be….Our school?!” he muttered with fear, he glanced at the person holding his hand while running, “Please….what about my friend?!” he questioned but the person ignored him, immediately Kevin removed his hand from the person’s grip. “Am saving him no matter what!”

The person stopped without looking at Kevin, said. “You think you can safe him in your current state, huh? You won’t last even a second if you go….”

“Ahhhhh!!!!” they suddenly heard a scream coming from the dark room. Kevin shrugged his shoulders as he stepped back from his school building.

“You see. It is too late. Come or….” The person said while stretching her hand towards Kevin as the rain poured down on them. Kevin swallowed looked at his school building then at her hand. He nodded and took her hand. Immediately she sprinted along side with Kevin, away from the school.

Inside the school building, Kolade with some set of people stood near a door.

Someone opened it.

“The boss is ready to see you, Mr. Kolade.” An old woman said, Kolade nodded and went in.

“Count yourself lucky Mr. Kolade. My men are after the boy, before time he will be here for the vessel.” A middle aged man said in a suit sitting down on a chair that looks like a throne. He crossed his leg.

“You said, you wanted to see me. Any problem?” the boss asked, Kolade swallowed, immediately prostrated.

“But Sir, she told me you won’t use the children from my school for your experiments.” Kolade postulated. The boss uncrossed his leg.

“Did I?” he looked at the old woman behind Kolade. “Old one did I do anything wrong?”

“No, my Lord.” The old woman bowed, then slowly she walked across Kolade while on the ground. “We didn’t use any of students for the experiments, we only took them for the vessel, no more, no less. Mister Kolade.” The old woman stood at his front, staring down to him. “In short, you already knew about the vessel and it’s host, don’t deceive yourself.”

“But…but my students why them? Their final exams is tomorrow, at least let them finish, let them enjoy the days of their adulthood, and then….”

“And then what, Mister Kolade? We don’t have much time to waste. You talk as if you hadn’t use other students from schools around the city, yours don’t make any difference!” The old woman retaliated. Kolade slumped his shoulders and buried his face in the floor.

“Mister Kolade stop this nonsense. You are not yourself, I understand. But the kid is the only hope we have.” The boss said. “kindly stand up, your traditions in prostrating while pleading is intimidating.” Kolade jerkily stood up. “You may go. I will call you when I need you.” Kolade bowed and left.

“I failed to save them both.” Kolade blamed himself as he walked out of the room. “Be careful, daughter.”

Few hours later, in an uncompleted building, Kevin leaned on the wall, breathing heavily while the person who saved him from the school was on the look out. “My friend. Is he still alive?” He grunted, the person looked at him then looked away. “What about his parents? The market!”

“Did the ground cracked open or any building got destroyed? If it wasn’t that, it is a small thing to clean up.” The person said, Kevin immediately widened his eyes.

“You mean, the market place will be clean and arranged before morning?!” Kevin questioned, the person nodded, Kevin swallowed, “This is a Nightmare, don’t worry I will soon wake up from the shocks in this dream.” Kevin told himself, the person looked at Kevin.

“This is never a dream, Kevin,” the person said as she walked to Kevin. “This is reality and you are never going to wake up from it, until you are dead.” Kevin’s mouth opened wide. As she removed her mask. “Yes am the daughter of Mr. Kolade. And Yes am a graduate from your school.”

“What a nice surprise.” Someone said behind them. Kevin was horror struck as he stared at the person talking while Oyin put on her mask. “Seeing Mr. Kolade's daughter trying to save her junior or should we say. Senior Oyin trying to save her junior.” The hefty man said, while folding his arms at the entrance, simpering.
