Mystery

There is always a secret special vent for narrow escape in every one's life, which either lead to success or doom,life is all about risk taking.

Who added pepper to my tobacco, I heard Grand pa coughed out in anger, I couldn't contain my laughter, smoking is bad to health Grand pa,I want you to live long in good health so we can have more fun like this, I whispered as I choked with laughter. I had to cover my mouth with my hands firmly as I hid in my closet, I thought I was going to choke with laughter.where is that good for nothing, naughty boy,am gonna kill him today,that immature lad,I heard yelled in anger outside my room.Take it easy dear,you can't kill your grandson,I heard Mrs Smith teased . You are the one spoiling that boy,he replied in a fierced voice. Uhn, really you know that a lie and the good truth is, that boy takes after you,see for yourself the striking resemblance ,am sure you're as mischievous as that when you're little ,just take this as a payback she teased as she continued with the dish she was watching,Mr Smith didn't replied but just rolled his eyes in anger. it getting more boring as I hid in my closet for hours inorder not get caught by Grand pa ,he is in a fowl mood now, I better not cross with him, I thought.This country side it so boring no wonder, Momma kept beaming with joy and fulfillment when she was bringing me to stay with my grannies, I recalled her mentioning "it is the best place for you",now understand why she said that so frustrating.IIs grandpa still mad at me for adding pepper to his pipe,he really has a long temper then, I shifted my gaze from him in order not to be burn my the intensity of the anger,to only be welcome by another guy from the park the blonde guy , I recognized him instantly ,who was smiling at me with a devilish smile and beside him on the sofa was a grand ma, I know at that instant there is something up with these surprises.Hey Don Dan ,the guy flashed me another devilish smile,nice to see you again,he commented nice mansion also.How did this one manage to get my house, I lingered on his words nice mansion and I remember telling them myself that I live, what the heck,am really a lousy talker and I suddenly shiver remembering what happened today and why he must be here.Hey, Dan here is another introduction this grandma sitting at my left she is the granny you broke her windowpane,the mayor's granny he stressed the word mayor to scare me,the guy is so annoying.At the point I looked at my grandpa who was fueling with anger staring with that look for long time, I wished he just hit me instead of staring at me that way. Smith Daniel can you tell us how things turned out this way,how you managed to get out of this house and you ended breaking this Granny's windowpane,he finished ina fierced voice.It really scary now that he called my full name, I shifted one foot to another with my gaze on the floor, are you trying to tell me you've nothing to say, I can sense the rising anger in his voice 

Is grandpa still mad at me for adding pepper to his pipe,he really has a long temper then, I shifted my gaze from him in order not to be burn my the intensity of the anger,to only be welcome by another guy from the park the blonde guy , I recognized him instantly ,who was smiling at me with a devilish smile and beside him on the sofa was a grand ma, I know at that instant there is something up with these surprises.Hey Don Dan ,the guy flashed me another devilish smile,nice to see you again,he commented nice mansion also.How did this one manage to get my house, I lingered on his words nice mansion and I remember telling them myself that I live, what the heck,am really a lousy talker and I suddenly shiver remembering what happened today and why he must be here.Hey, Dan here is another introduction this grandma sitting at my left she is the granny you broke her windowpane,the mayor's granny he stressed the word mayor to scare me,the guy is so annoying.At the point I looked at my grandpa who was fueling with anger staring with that look for long time, I wished he just hit me instead of staring at me that way. Smith Daniel can you tell us how things turned out this way,how you managed to get out of this house and you ended breaking this Granny's windowpane,he finished i a fierced voice.It really scary now that he called my full name, I shifted one foot to another with my gaze on the floor, are you trying to tell me you've nothing to say, I can sense the rising anger in his voice Am sorry, I said in a meek voice,Just sorry ,then let me tell you young lad, your apology will never be accepted , until you tell me how you got out of the house in first place he said in a fierced voice,Not looking up I jumped down the window, I replied in a shaking voice.Wow so this what I have to deal with,he said talking to himself.Ma-am Collins am very sorry he turned to the old lady and apologize, I will ask your windowpane to be fixed before tommorow, and for you Dan you are grounded,he dropped the words grounded like bomb shell. I can't believe am being grounded in this, boredom house. I paced up and down my room, this is really not good ,how can I get stuck here in this room, I walked towards my closet I just stood there staring a thought came to me are you going to play dressing up or dolled up like girls do, I laughed at the idea.Suddenly ,I noticed a old geography map wallpaper inside on the wall inside the closet.it faded but the geography map was what that attracted me, so I touched it but to my surprise it pushed in and there was a little opening on the wall,so I pushed it further and it opened wider it like a door now,what the heck,where is this leading to, I entered through the door into a dark passage with I-phone flashlight on, I wondered where the door lead and if there would be some treasure to be found in this adventure after few minutes , I got a door which turned the door knob and it opened, I entered with curiosty.I saw it was Grandpa's old library, I guess there is nothing fun about this adventure as it was expected,the place was just filled lot of old books , journals etc the room smells is filled with old books smells. I turned to leave the room with gloomy look written on my face , when I noticed the same wallpaper of old geography map on the wall besides one of the shelves. I paced towards and touched it and it opened into a tunnel shaped .Wow ,what this all about, I entered it thinking it will lead me to another part of the mansion, I crawled on my knee in the tunnel for hours and still didn't get to an outlet or something, I gave up and made to turn back , when I heard a water fall, I rushed towards the sound , when I noticed the reflection of the moon outside the outlet , I know there is a way out already, I crawled out as quick as I can, outside I could stand fully with the beautiful moon reflection on the path,it was filled with rockysides and hills, on the left was a house, it was beautiful and old, I walked towards, when I noticed a pretty girl on the roof top,she seems to be enjoying the fresh air, I wanted to say hi to this beauty, I went up to her.it was not of me to be nervous around girls but I was with this amazing and lovely girl,hi---hi I said in a shaking voice as I sturted ,am Dan and a you're, I asked with all eagerness ,the girl didn't say but turned and walked off. I couldn't explain the way I feel after I was dicthed by a girl who haven't talked to .I saw it was Grandpa's old library, I guess there is nothing fun about this adventure as it was expected,the place was just filled lot of old books , journals etc the room smells is filled with old books smells.

I couldn't explain the way I feel after I was dicthed by a girl who haven't talked to .

The whole event today was just kind of heck,first it was that crazy kid at my house, I was grounded and now, I got ditched this so messed up,but still I won't give up,am going to befriend her , I left in anger that night. The next night I was already at the front house's gate, I looked up to see her on the roof top, I climbed up to the rooftop I saw her and I couldn't say but just stared at her,she turned and walked past me again,this time I didn't say anything but just paced after her,she continued walking until something dropped from her hand,she bent and started using her hand everywhere,what she dropped was a necklace beside her and she continued to use her hand to traced it elsewhere, I was say this your necklace, when she said I need to find this necklace even though am blind I still feel you in my heart when I hold it.I didn't know what to do ,all I can was just to watch her in dismay,the girl who I had being crushing on was actually blind. life is full of surprises , I was about to give her the necklace,"when I heard who is there", I looked up to see two hefty scary looking guy,there were feverish gleam in his war-torn eyes that didn't stray for me,he stared with a gaze that frightened me,it prickles my skin like so many needles under my flesh. I squirm out in fear,who are you the big guy finally talked, I didn't reply but just stared in fear,Dude we have to keep this one too inorder to keep our deal here safe so that there won't be reasons for trouble. 

Before we could say jack they already carried us into a room,tying both our hands and legs.when there were about to leave they hit the blind girl, something in me couldn't take it,you all are cowards how could you hit s blind girl, I yelled at them this made one of them to stare at me but I didn't buldge, one made balled his fist to hit me but the other stopped him.

He is going to rot here anyway that sends shiver into my spine,after they left I asked the girl how she got here,she said she was kidnapped on her to piano lesson.Then why didn't you make attempt to escape,it easy to say that cause you can see and besides it useless,who am I going to meet at home.Don't you have parents to go to, I have a dad and stepmom I guess,so it useless going back home they must have missed you and you don't have to give up and just continue living as a hostage,it a miserable life .who are your parents, Governor Andrew.wow I didn't know you are posh kid , your dad is really looking for you, there is missing and reward for anyone who find you everywhere and you're here giving up on yourself we have to get out of here. I have great skills in losing knot it was hard for me, I got both free from the rope, l there is a vent up there , I will climbed there and get both of us out ,in no time I was pulling her up with the rope,we made our way through the tunnel back to mansion, I narrated everything that happened to Grandpa's ,he called the cops and the man was arrested.The brain work behind it was Arial's step mom ,The blind girl introduce herself to me as Ariel,when we got to the mansion.Mrs Andrew was arrested for kidnapping and I was reward with 15 million US dollars for seeing Arial in which everyone was happy especially Grand pa. I became close she told me about her eye operation and possiblity for her to see again and I told her of my feelings in which she rejected and said until I change my ways from being a cocky prince and naughty but cool calm and collected prince , someone who takes things serious and studies as well who doesn't follow bad gangs she we agree,who knew what with girls cause I have to leave to Chicago and I won't wait for her eye operation to be done, even though I wanted to wait ,but there is nothing I can do about it.when I told her about me going about to chicago,she was sober, I was at least happy that she wasn't happy about the idea of me leaving that alone give me joy,she said that if we destined to me ,we will and I should returned as a serious and better people,that really hurt my feelings am a good person why can't this girl see it.

Dan, I heard mum calling me your friends Ian and Mark called and invited you to a party, are you not going, No mum I want to studyI replied her.Wow study for a party that very unlike my son after he met that girl Ariel his life had changed for better, love is really strong it changes you from your former self,she giggled happly.
