Episode 9
Zoe'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 convince the doctor to let us in, We were let in immediately Sarah and Cassie left to use the restroom.
The room was really awkwardly quiet as we all stare at Chloe's sleeping body, not saying a word, that was one of the conditions given to us by the doctor to be able to be with her, seriously I'm getting bored but I just have to wait though, till she wakes, I hope she does that very soon.
"Can you see that?" Brian suddenly asked jottling me out of my thoughts
"What?" I and aunt Sandra asked instantly
"Her hand, her finger just move" he said and we all stare at her not blinking an eye
"She is awake" aunt Sandra announced after we've confirmed that her fingers truly move.
"Sean call the daughter" She commanded.
I dashed out of the ward room running to the direction of the doctor's office when I bumped at Sarah Palin.
"Hey watch it" she said glaring at me
"What happened?" Cassie suddenly said appearing from Sarah behind interrupting what I was about saying to her.
"She is awake, so I'm rushing to call the doctor not until this..." I was saying when I was interrupted by Cassie
"You should go," Cassie said, not ready for another banter I think. I ignore the glare Sarah was giving me and went to the doctor's office.
Seriously, what is wrong with this girl, huh?.

Chloe's pov...
"You know, I don't think you should be at school today" Sandra whined for the umpteenth time
"I told you I will be fine" I replied gulping down the whole water in my glass cup
"Just yesterday you fainted, and I was dead worried about you" she said
"Come on I said I'm fine" I replied her grabbing my backpack and placed a peck on her forehead before dashing out for the school bus, I don't think I'm ready to miss it.
After I had woke up yesterday from the hospital, I was discharged almost immediately because I was feeling weirdly energetic, though they all kicked against it, but I managed to convince them
And here I am going to school after so much whine from mum.
Oddly, Zoe's has been urging me to get to school, well I don't know why.
I alighted from the school bus, when Sean suddenly rushed to me then put his hand across my shoulder and I tried shrugging it off, but he won't budge.
"So how are you doing? Huh?" He said with all smiles after we've exchanged pleasantries.
"I'm good, where are the others?" I asked looking behind his shoulder, eye searching them
"Hey!"
"Oh, that is Sarah" I said waving at her while I stopped walking
"And there comes the least worrisome friends Brian and Cassie" Sean said dramatically to the hearing of Sarah while I nudged his shoulder.
"He didn't call my name too" I said interrupting whatever Sarah was about to, it's too early for all that.
"Morning guys" Brian said sharing an handshake with Sean
"Chloe!" Cassie said excitedly and gave me a hug
"I want a hug too" Sarah mumbled
"Sure" I replied
We all start walking to the homeroom simultaneously after we are done hugging.
"This looks like we are in a movie, I mean we are all spread out walking to class simultaneously" Brian said as we all laugh
"Selfies!" Sean said quickly getting into the middle with his phone up, and the camera clicked.

I excused myself to use the restroom during math class, I suddenly felt so pressed, I needed to let them all out.
After doing my business I was washing my hand when both Cassie and Sarah came in.
"Oh, hey, please don't tell me math class is boring, 'cos I was hoping to get you guys note to cover for the minutes I missed" I said to them, 'cos I know they both hated math but still alwaysl have a complete note on it.
"Let me in" Zoe said and before I could say jack she was already in control.
"Scratched all what she just said right now, so you are Sarah and that's Cassie right?" Zoe said pointing at them one after another.
"And you guys must be so inquisitive to follow her up here" she added
"Who are you?" Cassie asked seeing the change in attitude
"Oh, my bad! Call me Zoe"
"What are you?" Sarah asked
" I just told you I'm Zoe"
"Why are you interrogating us?" Sarah asked
"Because I'm Zoe"
"So, is she the one? Cassie inquired understanding the situation they are in.
"I suppose the question is for me" zoe replied after drying her hand
"Of course, it is" Sarah said, almost rolling her eye.
" What makes you think I'm going to answer your question?" She asked back facing them
"Because you are Zoe!" Sarah said, mimicking her.
With a smirk, but "Even if I know, i'm not telling none of you, one of you could be a sly" I said
"Then why did you show yourself to us?" They both asked
"Because I know who you are, do you think I'm going to let Chloe be friends with you if I don't know your background?"
"Since you know us, why won't you tell us if she is the one?" Sarah asked?
"Because one of you could still be a sly" she said before walking out of the restroom leaving them confused.
TBC...
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
Episode 17"234, what is the state of your emergency?"With shaking hands and an unsteady breath, he held the phone tightly, pushing back the scene he saw, and said, stuttering "Help, Camille!" he stuttered, searching for the right word to say."You have to calm down okay, take a deep breath, now breathe out!" the police officer said on the phone. He took in a sharp deep breath and breathed out as the cop had told him to."Okay, now tell us the state of your emergency so we could send you help" the cop started."Camille is dead, someone killed her at the party""Okay, now can you tell me what party?" The cop asked and he felt as his heart dropped in his stomach, his anxiety increased and heart beating fast, he is dead, and he knew it!"A birthday party" he answered after he had hesitated for a while whether to the cop or not"Okay, now can you tell me your name, age and address?" the police officer said, operating her computer."My name is, my name is Mike, Mike Gibson, I'm 17" he st
