The bright light which had managed to pass through the openings in the curtains shone on Charlotte's well structured face which was slightly covered by her long red silky hair. Charlotte immediately turned to back the light as it was disturbing her sleep.
Preparing to go back to sleep again, she opened her eyes tiredly and used her hand to find her phone on the cupboard beside her bed by the right. She pressed the on button and the phone came on with a disturbing bright light which made her close her eyes again.
Opening it gradually inorder to adapt to the bright light, she saw that it was fifteen minutes past six. At first it didn't register in her mind but when she kept staring at her phone, she jumped out of the bed saying,
" Jeez how did I sleep so long "
Stopping halfway out of the bed covered in white bedsheets she thought,
" Wait I'm free today right ? Let me check "
She took her phone and check her emails and found that she was free for the day, infant the next two weeks.
She laid down back and closed her eyes for a split second then she heard her stomach growl. She rubbed her stomach remembering that she didn't have dinner before going to bed.
She quickly went into the bathroom, had her bath then put on a shirt and a pair of jeans.
Climbing down the stairs, she noticed that the voices coming from the kitchen weren't those of Charlie's and Charlotte's, they weren't even the guys'. Curious to find out who it was, she quicken her steps and went to the kitchen. Pushing the door open she was taken aback with what she saw.
" Mother?! Aunt Emilia?! ", she exclaimed as she was shocked to see them in her kitchen and in the house altogether.
" Good morning dear ", her mother greeted with some kind of hostility which Charlotte noticed.
" I can see that you had a good night ", Aunt Emilia said with a sweet smile.
" Where your brother and sister? ", Isabella asked.
" I thought they were down already. I guess they are still upstairs in their rooms "
" Dear you don't seem to be happy that we are here ", Emilia said watching her expression.
" No . . . I'm just surprised that you guys are here. When did you get here? "
" I think it was around four this morning ", Emilia replied.
" And who let you in? ", she asked as she walked in going straight for the fridge which was at the right end of the large kitchen.
" Trinity "
" Ok ", she replied before drinking the glass of water she had just poured for herself
" But mother, aunt you didn't have to travel such a journey "
" It's nothing. You act as if we have gotten old ", Isabella said feeling offended as she stirred the food in the pot.
" Hey Charlotte what you making for breakfast? Already smelling good ", Daniel's voice was suddenly heard as he made is way into the kitchen.
He was instantly shocked by what he saw in the kitchen.
" Mother, Aunt Isabella when did you get here? "
Without waiting for reply he turned to Charlotte, " Why didn't you inform me about it? "
" I walked into the kitchen this morning and found them here "
" Um how . . . ", Daniel was about to ask then Charlotte answered already knowing the question.
" Trinity let them in "
" Forget about that and give me a hug ", Isabella suddenly said spreading her arms.
He walked over to where she was and hugged his mother.
" I miss my son so much. Why didn't you visit? "
" Sorry ", he said feeling bad about it.
" Good morning!! ", Trinity and Charlie said in unison as they walked into the kitchen, followed by Chris and Joseph.
" Good morning my lovelys ", Emilia and Isabella replied as Trinity and Charlie hug them.
" Breakfast is ready! ", Isabella said turning off the stove and covering the pot with a lid.
" Finally I'm so hungry ", Trinity said
" You are always hungry ", Daniel teased.
" I wasn't talking . . . "
A loud explosion was suddenly heard in the living room then the power went off, catching everyone's attention.
" What the hell was that? ", Charlie asked as she walked towards the door.
A thick smoke found its way through the little opening in the kitchen door, making them cough uncontrollable as they pulled the door open. One by one they walked into the living room to find a huge glowing blue hole in the midst of the darkness.
Charlotte quickly dipped her hand into her pocket, brought out her phone then turned on the flashlight. The moment she shone the light on the glowing thing, something was thrown from the glowing hole.
She moved the light to see what was thrown. She saw that it was a cylindrical shaped container with a red lights which was beeping. She looked closer at it and it dawned on her that it was an SPB bomb.
" Shit it's an SPB ", Charlotte said preparing to take cover.
" Holy shit everybody down ", Joseph said running towards the stairs and hiding underneath it.
Everyone scrambled for where to hide, to be protected from the impeding explosion of the bomb that releases a liquid which on contact with the the skin sink into the blood stream and paralyzes the person.
The beeping sound became louder and faster, signifying that the bomb was about to explode, also making them prepare their ears for the explosion.
Unfortunately, nothing happened after the beeping sound went off. Charlie then asked Charlotte from where she hid,
" Girl you sure that it was really an SPB or a bomb at all "
" 100 percent "
" Um nothing happened ", Trinity said annoyed that Charlotte may have played a prank on them.
" That I don't know why but I'm . . . "
A loud sound of explosion was sudden heard, breaking the glass of the windows downstairs and the television screen. It shocked all of them in their various hiding place. The liquid sprayed everywhere covering a few feets but luckily no one was within that distance.
Joseph, who got out of the shock rather quickly, turned his head towards the bar area and saw that the chandelier was about to fall.
He looked away for a few seconds only to turn back when he noticed that Charlotte was directly underneath it as she hid behind one of the sofas which had been pushed to that area.
He ran as fast as he could then speared her, making both of them land roughly on the fall few feets away from where the chandelier crashed few seconds later. She was about to question his actions when the chandelier crashed, leaving her speechless.
She was still in shock when she said,
" Thanks "
" It's ok "
Just when it seemed it was over, a speaker was pushed out of the blue hole.
" What the fuck ", Trinity cursed when she saw this.
A green light came on in the speaker signifying that it was turned on then a loud high pitched sound followed sending shock waves into their bodies. They were literally on the floor groaning in pain.
" Make it stop ", Charlie cried out holding her head as she rolled on the floor.
" Chris break that thing ", Daniel managed to say as he tried to stand up, groaning.
Chris, on hearing, stretched out his hand with his brown eyes turning blue, ready to compress the speaker with his telekinesis then about seven people in all black outfit came out of the blue hole holding guns.
One of them who appeared to be leader ordered the other six to handcuff them.
" Handcuff which of them boss? ", the guy who stood his left hand asked with cuffs in hand.
" All of them except those two women behind the sofa there ", he replied pointing Emilia and Isabella.
They handcuffed the remaining six of them, covering their heads with a black cloth and dragged them through the blue hole.
After they entered the blue hole, the hole closed up.
