Episode 8
Sandra rushed to the hospital reception as soon as she got to the hospital venue. She had been called by Cassie, one of Chloe's friends about the current situation with Chloe. She tapped on the reception desk impatiently while waiting for the receptionist to be done with whatever call she was making.
"How may I help you, ma'am?" The receptionist had asked once she dropped the phone, finally attending to her.
"My daughter, she was rushed here a few minutes ago" she was saying when she heard her name.
"Aunt Sandra" Someone had called her, she turned to the direction where she heard her name.
"Sean!" She called.
"Chloe! Where is she?" She asked worriedly, walking up to him.
"Let me take you there, she just woke up and I was about to call you again to tell you about the latest development, but she is sleeping now"
"Well take me to her now!" she ordered and trailed behind him to the ward where she is been attended to.
Zoe's pov
I stood at the pitch-black door that leads to where her soul is. I need to get her out of there before something bad happens. Anetta keeps getting stronger and stronger each passing day, and there is her, who doesn't even know about her abilities yet. I can't let her have her, she might kill her even though she is in prison.
I stare at the door, it's her vision door more like she is in a dream, A very bad dream that is why the door is dark and appears endless, I can't go into someone's dream nor interrupt it if I ever try such I might end up being burn out of the energy I used or die.
I breathe out then close my eyes. I have to do this, if it is not for anybody but Sean, I need to reunite with my family again, if I can and get my final rest.
I suddenly opened my eyes with my hand in a cup-shaped out as if taking water with my hand, I watched as the glowing light danced on my hand, so small it won't even budge anything.
"Oh ye mother of light, grant me the honor of saving thy child, grant me the power of old," I Said before muttering the chant. I waved my hand as if I was cleaning the board, while the surroundings changed, it reek of pure light. A snowflake orb shape dropped at my hand, and my eyes glowed at it making it dance I formed my lips in an 'O' shape taking in all the energy I could grasp, I'm running out of breath, but the longer I take in the energy, the bigger the burning light, with all the energy in me, I shoot my hand forward to the dark door that serves as a portal to her dreamland.
"It went through!" I gasped in excitement.
"oh! oh! it's closing back" I thought, I didn't even think twice before I jumped through the portal making it stand still, and stop closing.
I sight Chloe lying almost lifelessly on the floor with beads of sweat dripping from her forehead while gasping for air, I glance around to see what she was looking at, it's no other person than Anetta, She seems so strong and fiercely powerful, but that's an illusion, those betrayers think they can scare us away with this unrealistic illusion?
I smirk, well Chloe fell for it though, who wouldn't?
I did what I did earlier grabbing all the energy I could get and tried closing the link that grants Anetta access to her dream.
Damn! she is so strong, how did she get this, strong, I don't think I will be able to pull this off.
After so much groaning and grunting a blast of light rolled like a ball, and splashed all over The supposed Anetta body, making it freeze.
I fell, then gently touched her, "you will be fine" I had said.
I dragged her up, supporting her with my body. I'm weak too, but I have to get her out before the portal closes or we are going to be locked in here forever, 'Might' tho.
The portal has started closing so I had to speed walk even though it seems like I'm barely limping. I finally walked through it, thank goodness I gasped after we successfully walked through it and I watched as the portal slowly faded and then disappeared into thin light.

Cassie's pov...
I stared at the drawing Chloe had sketched and smirked, "it's here!" I muttered. I looked at it closely and searched for any tiny details or leads before handing it back to her
"You guys should check out Chloe's drawing," Sarah said, walking up to them.
They had gathered in front of her ward, Sean was explaining the reason why they can't go in to meet her for Sandra when Sarah interrupted.
Brian hijacked the book from her.
"Oh my, I've been looking for it, she is so talented" Brian gasped while I and Sarah rolled their eyes at the same time
"Look at this art bro, even with a pen it's so detailed," he said showing it to Sean, who isn't so engrossed to it unlike Brian.
"But why will she faint after drawing these great masterpieces?" He asked, finally looking up from the book.
"That's what you should be asking instead of gushing over the Art" Sean said, taking the book from him.
"It's nice but weird, I mean she could have just drawn the five of us but instead, this and then fainted after it," Sean said looking closely at the sketch.
"Come on the doctor said she fainted because of stress" Brian said while the ladies almost hissed out loud at them
"Oh really, stress?" Sean asked about getting pissed off of Brian's Naivety, I can't blame him though.
"Let me have a look,", Sandra said for the first time since Sarah got there, walking away from the ward door to take the book away from them
"Here it is," Sean said, handing it to her.
****
Her face twitched to confusion staring at the drawing in front of her, she knew better than this is another revelation, or is it? It doesn't look like the normal one she sees, I mean she has seen her draw some stuff in her journal but none seems so scary and weird as this.
The drawing is of a woman dressed like a scarlet witch with a half-mask covering her side face from her ear to her nose bridge with a boy that stood before her, but it was only the boy's back she drew. They are surrounded by woods, she stared at it deeply, the surrounding, then the mountain landscape, she knows this place!.

Cassie excused herself to use the restroom, after some while Sarah followed suit
"I know you will come," Cassie said drying her hand with the hand dryer
"I saw you rolled your eyes at Brian" she begins
"And I saw you do the same, and you know what I think, I think we are the same, our mission is the same" Cassie said resting her back on the wall
"So what do you think? Do you think she is the one?" Cassie asked
"I" she paused as if having a rethink. "I'm not telling you cos I don't trust you just yet," Sarah answered.

Episode 9Zoe's POV continues…I laid her down on the cold floor, she grunted. I turned her body around to check what made her wince in pain. I was searching carefully when my hand suddenly touched a wet area. I checked it out to find blood dripping in her tummy. I opened her clothes and caught a glimpse of a slight wound. Wait, I thought it was an illusion, it seemed like she was burnt, because of the way she was groaning. Anetta the lady of wrath, that is her. She did it, how did she do it while in prison, for as far as I know she has been gotten rid of. It's a slight burn but I'm sure it hurts like hell.I stretched my hand forward trying to heal her, but I couldn't, I can't seem to feel the amount of energy needed. It can only take a lot of time to heal.I sigh then do the only thing I could have, and only thought of. Yes! transferring all my strength to her, hopefully she gets better and awakened her inner strength.Sean pov...The doctor came to check on her, when Aunt Sandra co
Episode 10Chloe's povToday was very stressful. I walked up the stairs with my hands on the railing, the door clicked open, revealing mum. She walked in and dumped her handbag on the chair before plopping down and sitting on one of the couches."You are back," mum said to me as soon as she saw me on the stairs."Of course, I am," I replied while I continued my journey to my room.I dropped my backpack on the bed and went to change my clothes to a casual outfit, before coming downstairs, not studying with the guys today, after what happened yesterday."Any food for me," I asked 'cos I'm so hungry, as I walked to the kitchen while opening all the pots."Yeah, I'm microwaving the pasta, you can take it out" she answered back, stocking the fridge with what she got, probably from the grocery store."And that reminds me, I got in" she excitedly announced, with her hands in the air."You know the interview I told you I'm going for yesterday, I just received a mail this afternoon that I've b
Episode 11"I won't be there for you always" keeps ringing in my head as I make my way to my locker room. Since she said that word I can't feel her again, I can't feel her presence. If it was years ago, that I wouldn't be able to feel her I would have been so happy, but I don't know why I'm feeling sad about it, I kinda missed her tho. Waking up this morning feels so weird, and I almost got late for school. Zoe used to be the one to always wake me up to get ready for school everyday, and now she is gone. I tried to communicate with her yesterday night, but it's all blank. I hope it's all a prank. I touched where I was wounded, and sighed. I opened my locker to get my essential needs for the class.I was taking my books when I had a slight headache, the adrenaline kept surging and just like a flash I saw myself in a room full of people probably my age, Teens, yeah, teens. It Looked like a party, yes a night party, then I saw a girl, she was backing me with her long blonde hair flowin
Episode 12Brian povI took a glance at Mike at the corner he was sitting in the detention room, how much I hated that dude. For the pain he had caused me and some people in this school. I pushed back the flashback of the past and tightened my hand into a ball. I wish I had beaten him more, especially his Rodman face, to ruin it for him and I'm sure he will never forget me. I sighed and went back to the assignment we were given, Gosh! I so much detest detention, after writing the 1000 words of 'I'm sorry' given to us by the teacher in charge of the detention room, I will be going to meet the teacher to submit them so we can leave here, I don't even know the name of the scary looking teacher she just keeps snoring as she slept off on the deskk. She was suppose to be watching us but there she is sleeping. I shake my head at the sight and turn my head to the direction where Chloe and others are, I wish she would let us sit together, but rather she spaced us."Are you done?" I mouthed s
Episode 13Chloe pov continues…I was sweating while arranging the dusted books in the container given to us when I come across a book, I dusted the title off, it seems like a diary or some journal, and that reminds me it's been long I have opened up my journal, I opened it and the first page I read is "Rachel Gerard, do not open unless you are Rachel Gerard" I smiled and put it back not after doing a speed glance at the write up in it, I'm so inquisitive? Yeah!.It's a few minutes until closing period today is Friday. I will finally have a lot of rest during the weekend.I was approached by Sean "Hey, are you done?" I asked him even though it is so obvious that we haven't done half of what we were assigned to do."Of course, we are" he answered sarcastically while nodding his head"You know what I think? I think we are going to take forever to get this done and right now I'm so hungry and tired right now" he said"And for that, I have a plan." He added"No no" I said, shaking my hea
Episode 14The school bus blared outside and I quickly went outside, with my backpack swinging on my shoulder"Good morning Chloe" The bus driver said to me as soon as I got out"Good morning Mr Adam" I greeted him back"I won't be taking the school bus today, I will be going in my mum's car" I added"Oh, then, meet you at school and don't be late" he said before driving off.I walked back inside, closing the door behind me, I rushed down my remaining breakfast, and mum started descending from the stairs fully dressed with her office wear and handbag, she grabbed the cup of coffee she was brewing."Are you done?" She asked, grabbing her car keys which were on the table."Yes, I am" I said after taking a glass of waterI took my backpack and trailed behind her outside to the car while she locked the door, she unlocked the car with the car keys and I sat at the front seat as the journey to my school began.It is Monday and I must say the weekend has been an uneventful one, it wasn't tha
Episode 15The bell rang for closing period, I, Brian and Cassie walked together then parted ways to our various locker as soon as we got to the hallway to the locker room, my facial hair stood, I looked down at my arms and realized I had goosebumps, the piercing eyes and the prickly feelings I felt, like someone is staring deeply at me, seems as if someone is following me or probably stalking. I speed walk to my locker not looking back in case I was wrong about this. I opened my locker using the door to cover my face then slowly peered to see who it was."Caleb" I called, surprised, or was he the one that has been following me?"Hey, hi, uhm, I just wanted to say thank you for Last week…""Never mind" I said, cutting him off knowing what he is thanking me for. The slammed door startled me, when the new kid suddenly moved out from Caleb's behind with his backpack swinging on his shoulder. "Sorry, I startled you" Kyle said before walking away, not waiting to know if his apology was a
Episode 16Cassie's povI slammed my locker shut instantly as soon as I had taken the note for the next lesson I'm going for. I got to school pretty early, because my mum dropped me while going to the station.She was going to work, my mum is a police officer, while my Dad? I don't really know much about him, I doubt if I'll ever recognise him, if I ever get to see him again, my family is your typical broken family, I and my mum don't really get along, and that is even the least of my problems right now."Brian?" I called, as I saw him walking towards me"Hey" he greeted, he came pretty early today, yeah, so much for being the mayor's son. I mentally rolled my eyes at that. I glared at the girls that were in my locker room at that moment gushing over him."What are you doing here?" I asked, it's pretty unusual for him to come to my locker. What does he want? I thought as he gets closer to me, I can't help but get lost in his Green eyes, what I'm I even thinking? I mentally slapped my
