Twist Of Fate: Three Little Miracles

All of a sudden, the both of them appeared in front of Mark like a bolt of lightning, thier claws aiming directly for his neck, obviously for his life. Although such performance might impress an amateur but not an expert.

Mark leaped backward and before he could improvise his killer technique ‘Hmmmp!’

The sound of a bell echoed through the air…..

A signal round one was over! The grandwar masters withdrew, so did Mark as well.

In a jiffy, the fighting pitch was empty. Just the stains of blood on the ground. Meanwhile, some army medicals were taking the dead body of the dead grandwar officer off the area. Some, were cleaning off his blood.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Mark came down the fighting pitch, the spears had been drawn off into the ground leaving the holes with which they protrude out. The pitch about three metres higher to meet Diana. He looked very exhausted as he slumped to the ground. The effect of the shockwave that hit him earlier was still intact.

Diana realizing she had to get the president general ready for next round stepped into action at once. She opened her first aid box and grabbed for the glucose injection – the one with paralyzing contents –

As she was about injecting Mark with it…. A loud voice rang out!

“Stop right there!” As if she was catching a cheating partner, Hannah shouted with the spirit of righteousness.

Startled by her voice, everyone averted their gaze towards her as she walked elegantly with her shirts clinging to her generous curve and dip, towards Diana and expertly snatched the injection from her and she raised it up.

Every body looked in anticipation as they watched patiently.

“What’s happening?” Some of them murmured.

Mark was sprawled on the floor, looked weak in a way but was very well conscious that he staggered and hauled himself into a sitting position. Diana stood up at once ‘Give that back to me! And stop disrupting me’ Diana shouted. She shuddered ‘Why is this lady here?’

“This lady here…. wants to paralyze the president general!” Hannah said out loudly. To her expectations, everyone would start to murmur and since she didn’t get that… She continued

“The content of this glucose injection here is a bodily paralyzer and not “glucose” … If you let her administer it to the president general, she will only be paralyzing her!”

“Stop spouting nonsense and let her do her job!” Owens shouted from where he was sitting.

“I saw her replaced it’s content with something else… I didn’t know it’s an acidic paralyzer until few moments ago! A blue litmus paper can confirm this!” Hannah countered, her voice getting aggressive.

“Stop saying.. nonsense” Diana barked.

“How can you come down here and starts to accuse me of something I have no idea about..” She added angrily wanting to clear the air.

Richarlison came closer and ordered for the test confirmation to be done.

Everyone present watched impatiently..

“What? It’s positive?” Richarlison widened his eyes as he confirmed the test for himself.

“Diana tries to poison the president general!” A voice rang out after another round of test to support the claim was done. It confirmed it’s content was indeed a paralyzer.

Mark couldn’t even believe his hearing. Is this true?

‘Damn it… She doesn’t look like she can harm a fly’ Richarlison muttered. He turned his gaze to Hannah who was hiding an underlying emotions behind her face. Richarlison can figure something was not right.

All eyes now, were on Diana…..

Absolutely everyone fixated their gaze on her.

“There must be a misunderstanding somewhere…..” She broke out.

‘It took Owens some moment to believe what had come to his knowledge ‘Get her arrested!’ he ordered. He didn’t quite believe Hannah’s accusation but he had to ensure Diana was safe till he gets to the bottom of the matter.

The next few seconds, Diana was ceased by two other female military officers. Their grip was very firm that Diana’s struggle to yank herself off their grip was futile.

Stoic, Legacy and Jennifer trembled…. They knew their mom would never do something as that ‘Something is fishy —-‘ they thought as they watched carefully.

“Let go of me! How can you accuse me wrongly? I did nothing!” Diana cried out but everyone at this point paid a deaf ear to her explanation.

“So cruel…. she dares trying to poison the president general!” An officer spoke.

“This is unbelievable!” Another officer spoke

Sooner, the information spread like wildfire all through…

Murmuring erupted into noise and the noise got intensified.

Topsy-turvydom was an appropriate word to describe Diana’s state at that moment.

She never did what Hannah was accusing her of doing. Why was she doing it? Why is everyone pointing fingers at her and labeling her as enemy who wanted to murder the president general.

“She wanted to make him weak so he could die on the pitch and no one would suspect her!” Hannah added to what she was saying, this time… What she said kindled the reaction she needed.

“She is a traitor!” One officer declared as Hannah squatted to assist Mark up.

Mark was yet to process and believe what had just happened.

“Diana tries to poison him?”

Legacy and his siblings were held back by Owens, they kept agitating to go defend their mother but Owens wouldn’t let them.

Three well built officers at that point brought in two handcuffed men and dropped them before Mark.

Diana on the other hand was still under the firm grip of the female military officers…

The men were made to kneel down as everyone wondered why they were brought there…. ‘Civilians’..

“We caught them on two acts…. One, they stole your staff of honour which we’ve retrieved and they were transferring the military codes to an unknown device…” One of the military officers that brought them in, reported.

“Death casualties… Ten dead .. Thirteen injured.

Mark walked over to them and raised the chin of one of them, he was disappointed to know the men who committed the crime were mere bloody civilians! “Civilians should know better that they can’t trespass the military….” Mark expressed his disappointment on the bloody civilians.

The sole aim he was here was to fight and prove he is capable of marrying and then if worthy, get married to Hannah, but now…. it didn’t seem like it is going to hold.

“How could bloody civilians take down a whole tell of well trained military officers? And get thirteen injured? They must have some nerves and guts and skills!.

“Who sent you?” Mark asked the captured bloody civilians. The bloody civilians’s mouth shivered and they turned to look into each other’s eyes as if wondering if they should spit the truth or do as they were told.

Mark removed the dagger that was clocked around Richarlison’s waist and was about slaughtering one from the two bloody civilians, he was the type who doesn’t waste time unnecessarily.

“The female Sergeant general”

“… the surgeon general”

They said at the same time…. Either ways…. they were referring to the same person.

“The Surgeon general?” Mark mumbled.

“There are two new surgeon generals… one Cameron board… Which of them sent you?”

“General Diana!” One of the bloody civilians said.

The fuck! Mark was shocked!
