Looming Trouble

At the time of night, in a place not so far away from Central city. A group of people sat around in a room whose only source of light were the candles lit in a circle at the center of the room as the conversed in low tones.

A man stood at the center, with a parchment in his hands, his gaze fixed on a lady who sat at the front of the gathering as the light from the candles reflected on half of his face Leaving the other part to Darkness an a shadow to be formed. After some seconds, he looks away and fixes his gaze back at the parchment reading from it.

" According to the recent happenings, we've discovered that the Circle of Power in the first realm has been showing signs of breakage."

He pauses and gazes at the gathering to let the words sink down and continues.

"Which is not supposed to be, unless, it means that a Guardian is trying to emerge."

In ancient times, the Circle of Power was a symbol that was used to determine The emergence of a Guardian. It was said that when a sliver Priest was born, the word born, not necessarily referring to conception in most cases, but the beginning Of revelation of abilities. While in very fewer cases, right from the time of birth.

When a silver Priest is born, the Circle of Power which surrounds a silver hue which their name is gotten from begins to break off. It was told that the amount of power which broke off from the circle signified the amount if power the individual will possess.

After the great fight which took place between the vampires and witches and which almost led to the vampires being extinct. The few remaining ones had gone into bidding and the Circle of Power had vanished, leaving behind the silver hue which only began to fill up after so many years. As the years passed by, the witches had continued to keep tab on the Circle of Power and the emergence of the Guardians as the planned to seize power and continue their never unending vendetta.

The witches have always been impatient and unrelenting in their quest for total dominance. First, the had attacked the weak humans, and later clashed with the vampires as the felt that the night creatures were dominating them and wanted equal status.

Back in the room, there is muttering amongst the e gathering as some grumbled on how they were supposed to locate the first silver priest and prevent the witches from getting their hands on him and manipulating him.

As this went on, a young man sat at the back unbothered with the conversations going back and forth in the room. He fiddled with his phone and only looked up ones in a while to glance around the room and back to his phone.

It was a rule that using any device when the meeting was ongoing was unacceptable. But it seemed like he didn't care or wasn't bothered as he made no effort to hide it and had no problem with being caught.

At the same time, in a street close to the University in Central city. A young lady trailed behind a woman who seemed to be heavily pregnant and walked rather very slowly as she tried to prevent the weight of the bag she clutched to her chest from pressing against her bump.

After some minutes, she turns off the road into a more reserved path and continues down it. As she walked further, she is quick to pick up the faint sounds that padded behind her. Turning around, she glances about and sighting no one, she continues down the part.

As she passes by the part that led to the forest behind the huge walls of the University, She turns around subtly and sees a figure approaching quickly behind her. She immediately turns around coming face to face with a lady in a long black jacket that swept to the floor. Fear grips her slowly as she stared into her face that lacked any other emotion apart from the cold dark eyes that displayed it killing intent.

"w_ho, w_ho ar_e yo_u?"

She stutters and subconsciously places her hand on her bump in an attempt to protect it as she inches back slowly.

The lady stares at her silently and then a loud shrill is heard as she pounces on her and drags her into the forest.

The next morning, Tricia slowly opens her eyes as streaks of sunlight passes in through the glass window and the parted curtains. She yawns and sits up then looks a round the room before her eyes landed on the figure sitting comfortably on the sofa. Immediately, she blinks and sits up all traces of sleep vanishing from her eyes which causes Edward to smile and rise from the sofa.

"you don't seem happy to see me!"

He mutters as he inched closer to the bed.

"u_hm, no!"

She shakes her Head taking in his appearance from the customized black suit which lacked the jacket to the shirt who's first few buttons were left undone,his midnight black hair which was combed to the back and the shiny pair of black shoes as he walks to the bed and perches at the edge. sitting on it, Tricia moves forward engulfing herself in his arms and he hugged her.

"Good morning Edward!"

She mutters shyly.

"morning Tricia!"

He response as he ruffled her head.

"How long have you been her?"

"Long enough to hear you snore!"

"What?"

She shrieks and disengages from him gazing back at him with disbelieve causing him to chuckle and drag her back to himself.

"that was a joke sweetheart!" "But then, it's cute to see you all ruffled up."

Tricia only hums and buries herself in his chest inhaling his scent.

"so, that means it was you who pulled my blinds"

"Yes, unless you wanted to sleep the whole day and miss your classes."

"Of course, I wouldn't!"

She grumbles and tries peeking at his face.

"So, you are leaving today?"

He hums and caresses her cheeks.

"I thought you will another week!"

She pulls a sad face.

"Would like to, but then, there are pressing matters that needs handling as we got back in a rush and left it on hold." "but then, don't worry!"

She pouts and he pulls her cheeks causing her to swat his hands.

"l'll be back before you know it!"

She buries her face in his chest nozzling it.

"But, I will miss you!"

"Me too darling!"

He hugs her and whispers into her hair. They stayed there for a while and then he loosens his hands from around her.

"You need to bath sweetheart, so you can come out for breakfast and then the University."

"m_mm!"

He kisses her hair then ruffles it before getting up from the bed and walking out of her room. Tricia stares at the door as it closes and finally hops out of the bed and walks towards the bathroom.
