SAME DAY & NIGHT
How the seed came back to
Jennifer's bed was something Mr
Fenado contemplated within himself
in the quietness that took over
Jennifer's room. The wife was also
filled with amazement so she asked
with a low voice, "I thought you said
she returned the seed to the forest"
"Yes, she did, right before me!" the
husband shrieked. "How it came
back here is what i don't know" he
added and angrily walked out. He
came back with a spade trying to hit
the seed with it in order to break it
into pieces, but Jennifer held the
spade thereby preventing him from
doing that.
"Get your hands off this spade!" Mr
Fenado shouted at his daughter.
"I'm not gonna allow you do this,
Dad!" Jennifer insisted. Just then,
Lana began to cry from the other
room where she was sleeping. The
mother rushed her leaving Jennifer
and her father.
"I said leave this thing!" Mr Fenado
was still shouting.
"Dad, please, i beg you don't do this"
tears began to engulf Jennifer's eyes.
The father pushed her away, raised
the spade and hit the seed but the
spade broke into two. Just then, Mrs
Fenado entered with Lana. To their
greatest surprise, the seed began to
float in the air and eventually met
Jennifer who was standing at the
window. She gently took it looking
at her parents.
"I like that thing" Lana broke the
silence smiling.
Mrs fenado looked at her husband,
she placed a hand on his shoulder
and said, "Honey, let her be"
Without saying a word, Mr Fenado
left the room followed by his wife
who wanted to drag Lana along but
she refused saying, "I wonna stay
with Jane"
"No, baby, let's go" the mother
insisted.
"No, i wonna stay with her!" Lana
forcefully disengaged from her
mother then ran to hug Jennifer who
reciprocated with a hand. The
mother stared at both of them then
left the room too.
"Jane?" Lana called. "What is that
thing in your hand?"
"I don't know, Lana" Jennifer walked
to the bed and sat on it's edge while
Lana stood before her.
"Jane, do you have superpowers?"
Lana asked again.
"No, i wish i have one" Jennifer
concluded.

Back to the police station, inside
Uncle Ben's office, Jack stared at him
waiting to see his reaction.
"You mean the seed has been
found?" Uncle Ben asked
enthusiastically.
"Yes, my friend has it" Jack replied.
"A girl, right?"
"Yes" Jack became surprise. "But
how do you know it's a girl?"
Uncle Ben stood up instantly from
his seat. "It's time for the prophecy
to be fulfilled" he soliloquized but
Jack heard him.
"Prophecy?"
"Yes" Uncle Ben quickly reached his
office library. Jack watched him
scatter books around until he
brought out a particular one. He
opened it on his table and put on the
table lamp regardless the fact that
there was an electricity. Jack went
closer to him looking at the book
too. Uncle Ben found a particular
page and sentences he was looking
for and said, "Look at it, a prophecy
was made decades ago that there
will be another war between the
invincible hunters who also appear
to be invisible with humans after the
seed rest in the hands of a special
powerful girl called Remina" Uncle
Ben looked at Jack. "Who found the
seed?" he asked.
"Woh woh woh.." Jack stepped
backward. "Uncle I'm not gonna tell
you. It's a secret. Moreover, her
name isn't Remina but i can call her
now to confirm" Jack brought out
his phone and dialed Jennifer's
number. He put it on loud speaker.
"Hello, Jack"
"Hi, Jane, i wonna ask you
something"
"Go on"
"Is your name Remina?"
"Yes, but only my grandmother use
to call me that before she died. Any
problem?"
Hearing that, Jack and Uncle Ben
looked at each other then Uncle Ben
whispered to him that he should ask
Jennifer if her grandmother was a
witch.
"Umm.. There is no problem. But
was your grandmother a witch?"
Jack asked.
"Yes, why are u asking me this?"
"I gonna call u later" Jack hung up
the call. He could see Uncle Ben
taking a deep breathe. "Now what?"
"We have been waiting for this day"
Uncle Ben began. "Now that it has
come, we must prepare for it"
"Prepare how?" Jack asked.
"Prepar for the war and also destroy
the seed"
"Destroy the seed? Why? Remember
this seed gifts life"
"Yes, it does. But as long as the seed
remains, Zumga city will be
experiencing this war generation to
generation and innocent souls will be
killed!" Uncle Ben walked closer to
Jack and looked into his eyes. "Now,
tell me, who is Jennifer?"
Jack knew he shouldn't give him the
information so he ran out from the
office followed by Uncle Ben who
shouted, "Lock the exit and catch the
boy!"
Instantly, Jack was caught. Two
policemen held him and brought
him to the commander.
"Jack, you gonna tell me what i need
to know or this city will be in a very
big mess in less than seven days"
Uncle Ben said glaring at Jack.
"Let me go! Please, let me go!!" Jack
kept shouting.
"Let him go" Uncle Ben commanded
as an afterthought. The men
released Jack then he ran out..
