:
HANNAH'S RESIDENT
The internal building looked dark as
Jennifer stepped inside. She saw
wooden chairs at every angel, the
windows were opened letting a
gentle breeze in thereby flinging the
cottons up. At another angle of the
sittingroom was a black piano. An
old woman sat opposite it playing a
gentle tone-that was Hannah's
grandmother. She had a grey hair
on her head and a white garment on
her body. As Jennifer watched and
listened to what she played, she
moved closer.
"What brought you here?" Hannah's
voice came from behind then
Jennifer turned thereby losing
concentration on the grandmother.
"I came to see you" she replied.
"You look scared of something"
Hannah noticed. Without altering
another word, Jennifer brought out
the seed looking at Hannah to see
her reaction.
"Wow!" Hannah approached closer
in amazement. "Where did you get
that?"
"Do you know what it is?" Jennifer
returned the question.
"No" Hannah stretched her hand to
collect the seed but it produced fire
again so she withdrew her hand
instantly. Just then, the grandmother
stopped playing the piano coz as a
powerful witch, she felt what just
happened.
"Frank said is some kind of
medallion" Jennifer told Hannah.
"You mean this thing gives life?"
"I don't know, i don't even know
how it works. I found it in a forest
and it doesn't seem to let any other
person touch it but me. I'm so
confuse. I need answers to
questions now!" Jennifer began to
breath heavily. The house remained
quiet until they heard footsteps from
behind-that was Vena, the
grandmother. The colour of her
white garment had the same colour
with the seed. The two girls turned
to look at her. She surprisingly went
closer to Jennifer and stretched her
hand to take the seed which
produced fire again but Vena
soliloquized, rotated her fingers and
squeezed them then the fire went
off. She collected it. Jennifer was
more than surprise!
"This is a seed of life" Vena began.
"It's power is unimaginable. Three
decades ago before you were born,
both spirits that wanted to come
back to life and other spiritually
powerful humans of different
calibers fought for this seed but non
won the fight" she handed the seed
back to Jennifer. "I think history
wants to repeat itself" she
concluded.
"What do you mean by that?"
Jennifer queried enthusiastically.
"The spirits known as the invincible
hunters are back. They will never
stop hunting you and the seed until
you die and they will eventually take
the seed"
Hearing that, Jennifer's heartbeat
changed, she glanced at Hannah
then looked at Vena again. "But why
would they want to kill me?"
Vena smiled. "Why don't you
wonder why only you can handle
the seed. That's because you are the
chosen one. It's a prophecy and you
have the supernatural power to
protect it"
"A prophecy? A supernatural
power?" Jennifer slid her hair
backward. "I'm not a witch! I don't
have any power, I'm just an
ordinary girl that.."
"Sshh.." Vena interrupted her. "The
power is in you. The time has come
for you to discover it. Ask your
mother what happened the day you
were born"
The room became as quiet as a
grave yard.
"What if i choose not to protect the
seed and return it to where i found
it?" Jennifer broke the silence.
"It has already been prophesied. You
have no choice my dear" Vena
replied.
Jennifer slowly put back the seed in
her bag. She hurried towards the
door, clutched it open and went out
briskly. Hannah watched her
through the window as she drove
out then turned to her grandmother.
"Granny, why must it be Jennifer
instead of me?"
"Oh, dear, is that jealousy what i see
in your eyes?" Vena began. "You
can't bear the burden she bears
now"
"Are you saying that Jennifer is more
powerful than i am"
"Certainly, yes" Vena turned to her
piano while Hannah became more
jealous.
**
As Randy and Frank headed back
home, so as Jennifer was on speed
going home too. Her parents,
especially her mother has questions
to answer.
On the other hand, Jack sat quietly
with Karina still reflecting on what
happened to Jennifer before she left
his house. Also Karina couldn't get
over on how Jack reacted before
Jennifer left.
"You have been so quiet since
Jennifer left" Karina broke the silence.
"I have a feeling she's in trouble" Jack
replied.
"Or do you have feelings for her?"
"Why would u ask me that?"
"Cut the crab! I saw the way you
looked at her!"
"I don't have time for this, please"
Jack stood up into the room while
Karina followed him saying, "I know
you don't love me.."

Jennifer pulled over in front of their
house and hurried inside to see her
parents still in the sittingroom. They
sat closely together as husband and
wife. They were shucked the way
Jennifer bagged inside.
"Jane, have you lost your manners!"
the father shrieked.
"What happened the day i was born,
mother?" Jennifer asked unabashedly
then the parents looked at each
other..
