Chapter 8

HOME .

Around 7:45 AM , Bimpe had almost gotten to Kelvin's house , at first she was scared of how the guard who stood still at the front of their gate looked .

He was the huge type and one could easily see his chest and the arrangement of his muscles , he looked super cool .

, and his b knocked at Kelvin's house only to see a guard coming out .

" Hey what did you want ? " He asked .

" Actually i am here to see Kelvin " Bimpe replied .

" Did he give you any invitation card , " He continued " don't you know that there is always a invitation card given to his friends in case they want to see him "

" I think I should give him a call " Bimpe replied .

" You can't give him a call . " He replied .

" Ah ah shebi it is just a call I want to .... "

" Abeg ! , Use your nose masks . " He continued " shey you no know say Corona virus still dey outside . "

Kelvin was about going out to play football when he heard an argument outside their gate , he decided to rush to the scene .

" Oh Bimpe I can see you are .. "

" Ready , I need to get out of here " she snapped .

" Oga wetin dey happen ? " The guard asked .

" It's private " Kelvin frowned .

" You no say your mama talk say make u no talk to anybody , " He continued " Corona dey outside ooo . "

" I said something private ! " Kelvin gave the guard a warning sign who immediately rushed in .

Bolu jumped out of the garden she was hiding , and it really surprised Kelvin and Bimpe.

" Bolu what are you doing here , this is not something that has to do with you . I don't want to put anyone's life in danger . " Bimpe cut in .

" This is unlike you , come-on we are friends " Bolu snapped .

" I am sorry , not anymore . " Bimpe replied , she didn't like the way she reacted to her friend , Bolu is one of the best of friends she had and not just any friend but her girlfriend . Things are getting tough for her these days and she doesn't want to get her friend involved .

" That wizard you talked about , I mean the one who wants to take over fairyland , shey if he takes over fairyland , will there still be faires ? " Bolu asked .

" There won't be faires any longer , meaning I won't be in existence too , " she sigh " You need to move on Bolu , you need to . "

" Will you just leave your families and friends just for fairyland . " Bolu replied .

" Yes ! , I was a fairy before I was anything else and it is my responsibility to guide my people , they need me back and I have to go . " Bimpe bite her lips " I really f**ked up "

" I knew that once you are gone , you are gone forever . So keep this " Bolu handed over her father's sword to her .

" Come-on Bolu it is for you and not mine " Bimpe smiled .

" That is a gift from my father when I passed my final training as hunter , so I am giving it to you " Bolu replied .

" Ok thanks my dear , " Bimpe continued " I think I need to start going . "

Kelvin lead them down into his father's workshop , it was a small room built deep down the house with lots of technology gadgets . Kelvin removed a cloth from a big object and it turned out to be a car , not just any car because this one in particular was connected with a lot of cables . Bimpe and Bolu were surprised , they've never seen such a thing like that .

" What type of car is this , " Bolu asked examining it .

" Actually that is the source that will take you to fairyland , it has helped my father to travel anywhere he had wished to go . Infact my father had gone back in time to the 17th century . " He smiled .

" Really " Bimpe was shocked . Kelvin's dad must be a wizard in the aspect of tech . She could see different awards won by his father , they were arranged according to their specific date , some are from Nigeria and some from outside countries .

" But Kelvin you are not that good in class and you love sport a lot so how come you ..."

" My dad told me a secret ," He cut in " He told me not to boost about my intelligence to the world especially in school , because someday the government might take me away . Come-on , in my family we are all genius . " He smiled .

" Wow ! , So you are more Intelligent than me . " Bimpe replied .

" Actually I don't know anything about that " Kelvin repiled as he switched on the button and the car roar to life without anyone in it .

" So Bimpe , you should sit here . " He smiled , pointing his hand on one of the seats .

" Are you sure it will take me to fairyland " She asked .

" Of course Bimpe , that's your home " He replied , watching as Bimpe sat into the car .

Bimpe closed the door of the car and took a deep breath . She thought Bolu will come to the side of the window to say goodbye but instead she just blew her a kiss . Bolu is kind of funny sometimes , Bimpe thought .

" I hope it works " Bolu replied .

" Of course it will surely work " Kelvin replied .

" I just said I hope it works ! , Comon English u no Sabi know . " Bolu smiled .

" Bolu , when I am through , you and I would ......"

" One , two , three ! " Kelvin switched on a button and Bimpe disappeared in a blink .

" Are you okay at all ! , " Bolu gave Kelvin a slight punch as he fell to the ground .

" Are you an idiot ! , what the hell is wrong with you , just look what you did to my lab coat ! " Kelvin replied , dusting off dirt away from his lab coat .

" Don't you know that she is trying to tell me something ," Bolu replied .

" How am I suppose to know ! " He frowned .

" Because you put your air pod on , how am I sure she will get to her land " Bolu frowned .

" I told you I know what I am doing , My ancestors have been into science and technology for couple of years and none of us has ever betrayed humanity . "

" Hmm mm , so you can wake the dead " Bolu asked in a curious way .

" Dead ! , Who the hell wants to wake their great grandparents up ... Come-on that's even risky , my dad tried it in the future and it didn't went so well . " He smiled .

" What happened ? " Bolu asked , curious to know .

" Actually the future is in mess right now because my dad tried ..... "

" To wake someone up . " Bolu cut in .

"Although its not in our century and not even the next . My dad woke Isaac Newton up in the 16th century just to get a secret to the laws of motion but actually it resulted into .... "

" Into what , come-on talk Kelvin . "

" Well I am afraid to say this , instead of Newton to wake up alone , everyone woke up and there is something going on right now , people are fighting for survival , " He whispered " everyone is gonna die . "

" How do you know all of this ? " Bolu asked .

" My dad came back injured with his body parts disfigured , he told me to take him back to when Newton was born . "

" To do what ? "

" Come-on that was when Newton was still a baby , he no idea that's he is gonna changed the world today . " He laughed .

" You think this is funny abi " Bolu replied .

" My dad will safe that century , I trust him " He smiled .

" So he is a Newtonian " she asked .

" Actually , No ! " He shakes his head .

" Actually I will like to see what's going on . Take me there too . " She smiled .

" Where ? , Just because your friend left that doesn't mean you too must leave. " Kelvin was shocked .

" I don't think there's anything bad in that. " she smiled .

" Because your girlfriend has gone to the world of the faires , so you count such a thing as an adventure . " Kelvin frowned .

" Of course, what is the benefit to stay in this damn boring century , come-on I want to go to somewhere where everywhere is full of adventures and science-fiction and all that , like in movies and novels. " She replied .

" You don't compare movies and novels to reality , this is reality. " He replied .

" And so " Bolu added .

" No , " Kelvin replied " that's one of the reasons I don't want anyone to know exactly who I am , I pretended all this while to be the lover of sports and not the Tech guy of a thing you now know me for . " He yelled .

" You boast a lot about who you are , you keep telling us this things all over and all over again . "

" Thanks , I think it's high time you leave . Don't be scared , your friend is in fairyland because my Time machine travels in nanoseconds . "

" Mad oh ! " Bolu was shocked .

" I just don't know how you want to do it , you need to wash this coat for me . " He replied , throwing his cloth to her .

" Mtcheeeww " Bolu looked away and hissed .

They both got out of Kelvin's house when they were stopped again by the guard .

" He he he , you small Pekin don dey knack yourself " He laughed .

" See just get out ! " Kelvin yelled .

" The second one koo , abi you reserve that one for night . " He smiled .

" I told you to get out of my sight ! , get the f**k out ! " He yelled .

" Kelvin , I swear you are the one tolerating this nonsense attitude from this Igbo man " she frowned .

" Oga sorry oooo , I don't mean to .... " He replied .

" Sorry for yourself . " Kelvin frowned as he watches Bolu heading off to her house .
