Chapter 1 - How it all started

on a sunny Monday morning, The sky was Sparkling as it shone to Andrew's eyes to welcome him to a new morning.

Andrew : ( yawns as he stretches his two arms) ooh, it's morning. (looks at Angela and kisses her forehead) Baby wake up it's morning.

Angela :(opens her eyes slowly and yawns as she talks) Good morning love, I am so tired that I have already fallen in love with the sleep. (she smiles)

Andrew: (chuckled) so you don't want to fall in love with me anymore right. (They both laughed as they get up from the bed and go and freshen up).

(in the parlour).

Andrew:(watching television with his phone on his right hand and the remote on his left hand) Angela,what are you cooking, The smell is so tantalizing.

Angela: (responds from the kitchen) It is Jollof rice my love,I am cooking Jollof so that you will love me more. (they both laughs).

Samuel:(coming down the stairs) Dad good morning sir, Mum good morning ma.

The both: Good morning how are you doing.

Samuel: fine sir, Dad when is the competition taking place?

Andrew:(confused) What competition?

Samuel: The racing competition between you and that guy, Electricity.

Andrew: ooh,yeh it's this afternoon.

Samuel: Will it be bad if he win? (he asked worriedly).

Andrew:No why did you ask?

Samuel: Because you are the fastest man in this country, if he wins,he would be faster than you, and you would not be the fastest man anymore.

Andrew: Yeah it's true

Samuel: What about your post as the governor Elect, Hope it won't be affected, because I heard that in all of Electricity races, grandpa Ben ( the fastest seer who sees the fastest things) don't see how he passes to get to the finish line.

Andrew: I know that he can win me in race, but , About the Governor Elect,it can't be removed from our family as long as we are still on earth, I mean any of our bloodline like me, your mom, you, your children and so on.

Samuel: Why dad?

Andrew: Let me tell you a story from the beginning of these laws,in the years of your great grandfather,they were living a normal life until the time of Raymond (your Grandfather), When some of us started causing hazards and your Grandfather (Raymond) wasn't happy so he has to do something. (playback is being made as the story goes to the time of Andrew's father and mother (Raymond and Richelle).

Raymond: (Talking to everyone) This country is becoming unpeaceful, some people are using their powers to hurt others, and it has to stop.

Tom: What gives you the audacity to talk, who are you?

Raymond: I am a nobody,but a man who wants peace for his country.

Tom: so what is your plan?

Raymond: My plan is that we vote a leader who would rule over us and ban anyone who goes against our rules, so as to ensure peace.

Tom: (laughs) so you want to be the leader of this country?

Raymond: No I don't, i ....

Tom:(cuts in) I don't agree, the country is fine the way it is, we can get used to it.

Raymond: you mean we can get used to it, the killings, stealings, and, should I name them all?

Tom: You can if you like, but, I have an idea, anyone who supports him should move to his back, and those who support me should move to my back.

Raymond: Yeah, that's well said.

Everyone: (starts splitting as each goes to the team that suits them)

Raymond: (after they have all moved) so let's vote by counting t....

Tom:( cuts in) No, we would fight.if I win I would take over the country with our law, but, if you win you would take over the country with your law, and the winner would ban all the traitors.

Everyone: Yes!!!!!!!

Raymond:(faces Tom) I know you are a beast and a bone breaker, be ready for I will be the beast to kill a beast.

Tom: (laughs) ok.(faces the congregation) we split the country into two for now, so when we fight next three months, we would know who then have the country. (gives an evil smile and leaves).

Raymond: guys we have to be strong and prepared. ( They all leave).

CURTAIN CLOSED.
