The Story Yet Untold

‘Gather around children’

She says as

she leans forward on her chair

‘I want to tell you a story yet untold’

She

continues

‘Not again’ Nelly says as he tries to run off from the passage

‘I might be blind but not deaf, come back here

nelly’ She says as nelly turns back

dragging his feet

I’m tired of your stories, they are not real

and factually ‘he says as he folds his

arm with a squeezed face’

What are you saying? ‘Dennis screams in excitement’

Grandma don’t listen to him he is but a child

‘She

adjusts herself as she begins to talk’

There was once a kingdom in Europe in the late

90’s, whose king died and his position filled up by a deranged man who claimed

to be the successor, but there was this young boy who thought he could redeem

them all

‘Hold on’ Alex

says

‘Not one of those your dreams again’

Alex replied

‘Can you just calm down? And let me

finish’. Jeff interrupts

‘Yes! Allow him finish’ Jennie adds as she lets out a smile

‘’You all are just glad you hear this

isn’t it? No one actually believes the shit he says, everyone just wants to

dream don’t they?’’ Alex says as he

stands up

‘Tell your beloved to wake up from his

slumber and unto reality for none of this is real but an imagination of his own

mind.’ Alex says as he walks off

‘Do not listen to him okay? Do not

listen to anything he says’ Jennie says

as she taps Jeff

‘Is he telling the truth?’ Jeff asks as little tears drop off both his

eyes

‘Do you all believe me?’ Jeff asks as he looks at them and runs off

in tears, Jennie tries to go after him but was held back

‘Let him go’ Amada says

‘Yeah, let him be’ Jason adds, as Jennie comes back to sit.

Back At Alex’s House

Alex drops off his old cleaning equipment at

the front door

‘’Are you okay hunny?” Alex’s mom asks Alex as she sees him that he

looks not quite alright.

“Alex was in his mid-20s, but still living

with his parents, but that didn’t stop him from being the hardworking man that

he is, he always made sure he wasn’t a liability to his parents but never

wanted to leave his parents because he feared that he won’t be there to save

them from any impending danger, but never let out this thoughts to His parents "

‘I am okay mom’ Alex says with a fake smile

“I know when you are lying to me Alex

have you forgotten that I am your mother?” ‘Alex,

mom Juliet, says as she comes over to the sitting room where he was, it was a

big house, a house that Alex father jack inherited from his own father Alex’s

grandfather but turned it into something amazing it looked like a king’s palace

you could get lost in it with so many rooms but a couple of old doors that make

weird sounds at night that makes Alex question if his grandfather’s ghost lived

in the house’

”Why do people tend to lie to

themselves? Why do people see the truth right in front of their eyes and yet

turn a blind eye to them? Why do people who have both eye still act as though

they are blind? Why do they do that mom?” Alex

voices out

‘Well people do that to give

themselves hope, and something to live for, they do that because it is all they

can ever do, they wake up in the morning with pain but those lies give them

hope, those false believes give them something to wake up the next day for, for

if they stop to hope and dream they stop to Live. Even you Alex too Alex, lie

to yourself about something we all do’ Juliet

says as she taps Alex

‘No mom, I call black black, and I

spell out the truth when need be’ Alex

says as he walks off to his room

‘’ALEX! ALEX! ALEX!’’ Juliet yells to no avail

Back At Jeff’s House.

Jeff walks in and

sits almost immediately on the cold floor

‘Why are you back so early?’ Zack

asked

“Oh my! Jeff, why are you crying?” Zack says surprised as he walks over to Jeff

who sat just right there in tears

‘Tell me Jeff? Who beat you up? Tell

me who it was and today that person would regret he ever existed’ Jason continues as Jeff raises his head up

and cleans a little bit of his tears with his palms

‘They don’t believe me. They feel it’s

all in my head, and it’s a dream I didn’t make it up.’ Jeff replies as tears drop from both eyes

‘You don’t have to convince me Jeff I

believe you. Come on here’ He says as he

takes Jeff to sit. Zack was more like a father to Jeff and he took him in when

his grandmother passed away few years ago. Jeff lived with his grandma for not

too long as she was really old when Jeff’s parents were killed in a mysterious

incident with the king which Jeff knew nothing about as he was so young and

Jeff had to move in with her before been taken in by Zack as first a slave but

then Zack took him as if he were his son because he had been alone ever since

he lost his wife and two sons to the war, they were difficult moments for Jeff

to lose loved ones almost the same time but Zack always made sure he didn’t

always have to think about it.

‘‘You know when I first saw you, I

thought you were special, everything about you was amazing and I wondered why

someone like you would be doing on the streets and I had to take you, and I was

right for In the cosmic Scale, you are unfathomably more valuable than diamond.

I believe you Jeff, and I hope your dreams come true.’’ Zack adds

‘‘Yes they will’’ Jeff says as he stands up with a smile on his face and his hands raised

as if he held a sword

‘‘I

AM THE CHOOSEN ONE. My grandma always told me that I was a special child,

that the day I was born there was a blood moon which meant something special

was brought into the earth according to her, I was the only child conceived on

that day, no other woman in labor was able to.’’ Jeff adds

‘‘So then why not you wipe off those

tears off your cheeks little one, and come have dinner’’ Zack says as they both head for the kitchen

‘‘I cooked your favorite’’ Zack says

‘‘Ouuuuu, Yummy’’ Jeff yells in excitement as they both go to the kitchen

The Next Day.

Fog was still in the skies but it was

almost noon, the breeze were cold and the day was set as this was the day when

the main market were filled up with

crowd as the king had sent in new Goods to the people

Chattering and noise follows and then

a sudden calmness within Jeff

‘‘Jeff! Jeff!’’ Jennie shouted

‘‘Yes, I’m so sorry for something

caught my attention from afar’’ Jeff

replies as he stared at a small gathering not far away from where they stood

Chattering and noises continues

‘‘What happened over there?’’ Jeff asked

‘’It’s ma veronica, she was robbed by

bandits’’ Jennie replied

‘‘Oh my! The king is at it yet again’’

Jeff voiced out

‘‘Here we go again’’ Alex says

‘‘You know you do not need to be here,

I for one do not need you here’’ Jeff

answered coming closer to Alex as if he wanted to head butt Alex

‘’You want to go? Huh? Tough guy?’’ Alex replied as if he were ever ready for

this moment

‘’Can you both stop this, this

instant?’’ Jennie yells as she stands

in-between them

‘’Are you not going to stop them from

this child’s play?’’ Jennie asks as she

turns to Jason and Amanda

‘’No we are not, I think Jeff needs to

be taught a lesson about the things that come out from his mouth’’ Jason says as he stands next to Alex

‘’And you Amanda? Are you not go..’’ Amanda interrupts Jennie

‘’No am so sorry but I’m with my man

on this one’’ Amada says as she stands

with Jason and Alex

‘’Stay away from this twat before you he gets

you both killed’’ Jason says

‘’Who are you calling a twat?’’ Jeff asked as he rushes over to Jason and

hits him with a heavy punch on his left eye, and hurled him into the dust with

such force that a cloud of dust arose. Jeff continues hitting him as Jason

tries to fight back, Alex rushes to pull Jeff off Jason to no avail so

does Jennie and Amanda also

‘’Stop! No Alex’’ Jennie

yelled. That was the last thing Jeff heard, as he tried to turn back he was hit

hard with a rock by Alex, as Alex carries Jason on his shoulders and runs off

with Amada.

‘’Stop! Come back here! Helllp! Helpp! Help!’’ She yells as the crowd gather around Jeff’s

lifeless body
