            The game continued cheerfully with the Wild Dragons gradually loosing. Joel and Dane made the game so tight for the Wild Dragons. All their attempts die down in a horrible way as Joel got their best player down in anger and disappointment.

Everyone hailed him as he continued to display his monster moves, and humiliating most of the players of the Wild Dragons.

Dane felt out of place for a particular time as he watched everyone hail Joel and forgetting him. He decided to play selfish for a while in other to grab some applauds from the audience too.

Insulting words were hurled at him, from different angles.

Beauty watched as he denied Joel and other players of the ball and played alone. Feeling of unease and anger cornered her and wished she could spring into the court, to punch Dane in the face.

"This bastard won't let go of the ball, I suggest someone needs to teach him a lesson." Beauty whispered with great rage.

"Who is the bastard?"

Beauty ignored Miracle's question and continue beating her hands together in anger. Dane refuse to play fairly and continue with his selfish moves.

He angered the other players and the coach more, who agrily dismissed him from the game, with a replace.

Beauty saw Dane walk out out the court pridefully, even when the rage burning in his eyes was vivid.

She ran down from her sit, followed by Miracle and Ave. She never stopped running and walked gently towards him, who was busy losing his shoe laces.

"Happy now? Hmm... You almost ruined that game for us, due to your selfishness." Beauty spat wrathfully.

Dane paused slowly and stood up to her, "Mind your nasty business and stay away from this. What do you even know about basketball?"

"Well, well, well, I can see you are trying to showoff here again. I know nothing about basketball, doesn't possibly means you can defeat me in a one on one match." Beauty boastfully challenged.

Dane burst out in a mocking laughter and looked at Beauty like she was nothing but a dry leaf.

"What are you insinuating?" Dane asked mockingly.

"I'm calling for a challenge."

Miracle and Ave grasped at her challenging reply. Miracle wasn't feeling cool seeing Beauty and Dane conversate rudely. She tried to pull Beauty, who yanked her hand back.

"Friday, noon. If you come late, you lose automatically. Same as you coming too early too. Come right on time and don't forget it will be a public match." Beauty said as she moved closer to him and poked his nose.

She angrily walked out leaving Miracle and Ave behind. Ave couldn't stand being with Dane and dash off with Beauty.

"Do you really want to accept the challenge?" Miracle asked, with worry laced in her eyes.

"She is your friend and not mine. I don't care as long as it an opportunity to revenge." Dane answered as he sat down and continued losing his shoe laces.

Miracle was short of words as she gazed at Dane, hoping he would change his mind but he didn't. "Can't you forgive her for her mistakes?"

Dane paused again and looked up at Miracle who was on her feet. "I can, but after paying her back."

"But she is m........."

Dane didn't wait for her to complete her statement before marching out of the changing room.

She feels troubled as she slowly walked back to the court. On getting there, she saw people coming out as many cheered and yelled in happiness while some walked out looking disappointed.

She realized the game has ended, and to their satisfaction when she saw Ave dancing happily.

"Thanks to Joel, he helped us win with a bursar shot at the last edge of the match." Ave yelled happily.

Miracle faked a smile and turned back as they all left the school. Mr Clinton waited for them in the school park, carrying some papers in his hands.

Ave opened the front door and hopped in while Beauty and Miracle quietly took a sit at the back.

"How was the game today?" Mr Clinton asked anxiously.

"Awes......"

"Boring." Miracle shunned Ave.

Mr Clinton got confused by their disagreeing reply but faked a positive response, and started the engine at once.

**************************

As usual, Zyne was alone in his single room rented apartment preparing his dinner. A knock on his door scare him as he wasn't expecting anyone to come knocking on his door.

He turned off his old fashioned electric cooker and quietly brought out his sword. He walked slowly to the door and peeped through the small hole on the door, to know who was knocking but he saw no one.

"Do you always have to bring out your sword when am coming around?" The Queen asked as she appeared behind Zyne.

Fear ruled over Zyne as he wields the sword carelessly behind him which turned into sparkling dust after touching The Queen.

"You scared me!"

"Then, do you always have to attack me each time I pay a visit?" The Queen pathetically questioned.

Zyne grabbed her one of his tattered single sitter sofa, and grabbed himself a wood chair. "What news do you bring today?"

The Queen gently sat down and brought out a small tattered paper from her animal skin jacket. She stretched it towards him while he collected it and went through it.

"You must be kidding, the King wants Seg to disguise as a human and find Jawn?"

"Yes, he wrote this letter to the priest so as to find Jawn's whereabout but nothing good came out of it. Seg has been acting weird earlier and it making him have a strange feeling that he knows her whereabout."

"This is not humanly. How can he be so cruel, that he wants his only son to lose all his powers just to live with Jawn and later trap her?" Zyne questioned in anger.

The Queen got up and head for the door, holding its knobs and turning it continuously until Seg appeared in front of her.

"How did you know am here?" Seg asked as he find himself a sit.

"Even if I'm not your biological mother, I know you than any other." The Queen replied as she went back to her sit.

Zyne was already freaked out with his shrieking hands scratching through his grey hair.

"Once a young hybrid, now turning an old man. Nice seeing you again Zyne." Seg said with a strange voice.

The Queen smacked his head and yelled at him to stop being immature. Zyne looked at him with fear ruling over his mind.

"We have only a way out to find Jawn." The Queen added.

"What way?"

"Your father, Zyne. I will summon his spirit and am sure he would listen to me as his sister. He is the only way to find Jawn because his destiny is connected to that of Jawn."

Zyne shoulders sag in relieve, and urged the Queen to go ahead.

"Get it done before it's too late. This depends on who ever find Jawn first, either us or....the King."

The Queen grasped at Zyne as he smiled. "We can't do it without you Zyne."

"What do you mean?" Zyne asked curiously.

"We have to use the power of the great witch and spirit but not without you....."

"He is ready to go on. Let get started." Seg said and eagerly stood up.

"Hmm.... You have to become your powerful hybrid self again." He added jokingly.
