SECRETS OF MALESDONIA(Short Story)

THE THIRD PIECE

Everything was beginning to make sense to me now. I and Amber aren't related by any means and once we unite then we will be stronger and defeat the Henites.

"Dad, who is she? Who is that third piece "I asked immediately he dropped his phone.

Dad, should I call him that. But he was the oneeho took care of me all these years after I lost my parents. So I think he deserves  it

"We don't know her name, but I've asked them to bring her here tomorrow. Then, you will know who she is"dad sounded  like he was comforting us

"Dad, I would not want you and mom to take this the wrong way, okay. You said you are not our biological parents so that means we are not your children, so where are your children"Amber asked with utmost concern

I noticed that mom's countenance changed when she heard that

"We never had one. We were nit able yo produce any children "dad sounded hurt

I felt bad about it and had the urge to spank Amber for asking such question

"And that was why when we found you we were so grateful and so we took care of you both like you were our own children "mom spoke this time

"You should go have some rest, tomorrow we  will know who the third piece is"dad said

That night I could not sleep I was wondering who it wad.  I think I haven't been sleeping this period. After all these ends I am going to go into s deep slumber

"Who could it be "this was the question I was asking myself all night

*****

"Rina, come. Dad is calling us, he said the girl will soon be here any moment from...

"Katherine, Amberle, come down here"dad shouted in his commanding tone

Amber quickly dragged me as she ran downstairs

We got there just in time to find a lady entering the sitting room and when she turned,  I nearly wet my pants. The last person you would think of.

The third piece was MRS GREY

It was just so unbelievable

I saw the shock on her face when she saw me.

Wait, so the human arts teacher, Mrs Grey, was actually the third piece. Who would believe that.

"Dad, are you sure this is her "Amber asked with a hint of disbelief obvious in her tone.

"Yes, she is "dad replied immediately

"But, she is married, I mean her name is Mrs Grey"i raised a brow at him

"Grey, why don't you explain yourself to the girls "dad signaled her

"Okay, first is my name is not Grey. My name is Ereteria, I just took it as a cover name. Second is that I am not married...

Amber and I gasped

"Yes, you heard me,  I was getting insults from students at school when I took up the teaching profession, because of my status as a single lady, so I decided to pretend I was married"she explained

"But how old are you exactly, you don't look young enough for this"Amber asked

"The thing is those who couldn't find their other piece,  tend to live a hard life. You both weren't so affected  by it because at  least you found one piece but it affected you a bit and ygay was why sometimes,  lived a hard life"dad finally concluded

This is exactly what William said

"So without futher ado, let's get down to business."dad said

"Yes, one important thing you have to know and learn is how to control the power when you three unite. So basically, for that aspect, Rina your grandma would be the one to teach you guys that"dad explained

"What, my grandma. I thought you said my said my parents and everyone else were killed. So, how come "I queried

"I said just your parents were killed and not your grandparents "dad corrected

"My grandma, she's alive. Then where is she, who is she"I  asked him

"She us someone you know and she will be here shortly before...

Just then the doorbell rang

"I think that should be her"dad said smiling

I ran to get the door

"Wait a minute. Lydia is my grandma. How come "I was so shocked
