The second phase took a total of twenty four hours and Ben did not leave the room for a second. He still remember this stubborn woman's words
I am tired of living the life they want me to, am tired of people looking at me with admiration when I have achieved nothing.
She turned to face him and her eyes were bright like the stars like one was looking at the galaxy
Who could resist even if you want to you cannot seem to want to refuse she acted neither coetishly nor was she acting quite and vulnerable her demanour an aura can shake ones heart he could not put his finger on it but he just has a feeling that this is going to be a success
He gave her a nod let's do this
All his fear were toss in the trash can
Don't let me down then my neck is on the line here
I won't die so easily
Just a few more minutes to go every last countdown was like that blissful eternity close yet so far away
Just as it was the countdown was over Gabrielle emerge like a goddess as she came out this time she was totally different her black hair turned blond her her lips got a few shades darker and her eyes were brown.
Ben was looking at her shocked, happy, supprised he could not just find the right word to describe how he was feeling the first successful superhuman is standing right before him.
What is with the look, Gabrielle said snapping him out of his thought
Am just to happy.
The girl rolled her eyes and said as a scientist am starting to think low of you with the way you are acting
What ever her change your clothes he handed her a new set as she was wet whole down. As she was submerged in the liquid for hours as she turned to the adjacent room to change she was still having her conversation with Ben at which he asked that how are you feeling any discomfort
No but rather I feel light and....
Light and what there was no answer from her
Hey don't joke around I need to make records so just talk already yet silence was what she heard. Gabriell... He called
GABRIELLE.. GABRIELLE... GABRIELLE
he voice loud and laced with panic as he dashed to were she was, only to be shocked by what he saw.
There she was sprawled on the ground from the looks of it she fainted but her nose was bleeding and her palms has turned purpled like blood was clogged at that particular area of her body he immediately sent a distress message as he took back her body to the lab.
BACK AT APRIL'S SIDE.
She had a nice time and learnt a lot as she was able to scout properly around the city and the view was much more different than that of the night, the people have some kind of unity that pull them together as they work together to achieve their aims and put their heads together to solve problem looking down from the her windows she can only describe the people of this city as united and strong.
She have handed over the first plan she have to develop this city to the city lord the first step was electricity she has a lot of plan but without a source of power they are still handicapped since they seen to be enormous supply of solar energy at this side and the size of this place seem no to be that large they can start small at first and the welcome cermon y of introducing them was also a few hours from now
Her thought were caught short by the voice of Aya calling her
As she descend the stairs she saw some packages in the middle of the room she could already guess who bought them.
The lord delivered these to wear to the welcome ceremony tonight
Aya relayed the message to her
She noded and said let's get ready then.
Time move by just like the wind and just before you know it, it was already time April was dressed in a blue armless gown, her long black hair was held up into in a bun with a pin. she wore matching hills to complement her dressing as she look in the mirror she look dashing.
Aya wore a green dress her hair left straight to fall down her shoulders she looked absolutely dashing she was standing holding Brian April's brother in her arms as she awaits her
I see that you are much more earlier than me even if you still have a baby to take care of
You were never the punctual type so don't give yourself a hard time OK.
They just laughed it off as they set out to the venue
At the venue the place was set and decorated more beautifully than she imagined, she thought that since this place was a little at the edge of the time it's will be a bit different, but from the atmosphere to the decoration it was totally splendid.
I hope you like our welcome party. She heard the city lord voice from behind her she turn to see a short man in a suit he looked poise and elegant, if not for his height putting him in a vulnerable position he would have been the most dashing man here
It's quite lovely and welcoming sir, I appreciate your kind gesture
Likewise
The event went smoothly with food laughter, and no drama.
As the event was reaching its end the lord came up to the podium addressing his people
The people of city in the woods it's is of great pleasure of meeting you and I as a leader addressing you all. Today ten years ago we founded our great city as we were unwelcome to civilization, but just like the old saying goes don't be disheartened or feel low of your self because you were not accepted, rather keep on looking and you will find that place you belong to and you shall be cherished.
Though we were unwelcome we found our selves, we loved ourselves, we united ourselves and we fight to find that place we belong to and that unity bought upon us success. And one day we shall thrive to reach heights that those who rejected us can only dream and we shall move beyond the skyes.
This earned applause from the crowd and. The second objective of us gathering here today is to welcome a new blessing that has descended upon us pls let's welcome Mrs April
As her named was called the audience cheered
When she walked up to the stage she stood right near to the lord looking elegant
Miss April here will you mind giving the crowd the crowd a few words
She took over the and said just like our lord had said an April I don't see my self as a blessing but rather meeting you was a blessing. But as I see you guys I hope we can work together to bring this city to new heights.....
To be continued
