WALES MYSTICAL HOLMES
Episode 3
"I'm so sorry Chloe, but we have to leave"
"Leave?".
After the earlier familiar feeling I was back to my body again.
She grabbed my wrist and we walked to the car, she was looking so sad. I wonder what happened.
She ignited the car and started driving. Sorry, I meant speeding like we are being chased.
"Can you tell her to stop driving like this, I can feel my heart jumping out of my chest" Zoe whimpered like she is the one with the body, tch.
"Wait, are you scared of dying?"
"Of course I am, you nitwit, now tell her before I do that myself" she said
I rolled my eyes, and stared at Sandra's half face. She looks scared, what happened? I wish I could read her mind and know what she is thinking. "If only I could wish" I thought with a sigh
She parked the car swiftly at the far end of our streets, she looked at me worriedly before opening the car door and getting down. She glanced around, before turning her head to me and telling me to get down, I did as she said as she started moving while I followed suit.
We took the back path that led to our residence.
With her help I was able to get into the house, climbing the wall. She told me to get some stuff from her drawer. I walked into her room and got the document. I gently climbed down too with her help. She heaved a sigh of relief when she saw me.
We got into the car and started our journey. Weird, Zoe has been excited since we started this unknown journey, so many things I didn't know about this being living rent free inside me.
After so many U-turns and speed driving the car came to a halt at the roadside.
She sighs as she rests her head on the steering wheel weeping silently. I stared at her with a blank expression, what is going on?
Her phone rang for the umpteenth time and she decided to answered who it was this time
She cleaned her tears and said "it's over Nick, await to hear from my lawyer" and hung up.
Okay, what is going on between Nick and Sandra, the Campbell used to be the sweetest family I've come across. So what will cause this breakup?.
She roared the engine to life again and started driving.
"Chloe" someone tapped me, I gently opened my eyes, I think I slept off while she was driving. I looked around, and we were at the gas station.
"I figured you must have been so tired and famished, so I got you some snacks, this will help with your hunger" she said, stretching the snacks to me while I stared at her blankly.
"You could make use of the bathroom you know, we still have a few hours left and it will soon be night time" she said, but I wasn't having all of that, I kept staring as if I could see through her, at least I needed to know what was going on.
When she gets the memo she starts.
"I know you're confused and at least need an answer to your questions. I promise to tell you everything and answer them once we arrive, okay?" She said
I sigh "And besides, you owe me an explanation on what you are doing outside the school premises during school hours" she said with a smile it ain't real, I know.
I sighed again, "it's okay baby everything will be fine I promise" she said with a cracked voice then engulfed me in an unexpected hug.
Few tears dropped on my clothes. I knew it's from her, so I hugged her back.
After some minutes of the hug she finally let go
"I'm sorry, I can be emotional sometimes, you should go make use of the bathroom. I know you're pressed, you make that face whenever you are seriously pressed, I don't want piss smell in my car" she joked.
"Seriously? We don't pee on our pant" Zoe grumbled.
"Can't you see she's joking, so much for being a seer" I said.
***
I was munching on my snacks while Zoe kept blabbing about some old story of herself like she always does.
I kept my gazes outside the window staring at the green leaves full of life when something caught my attention. Wait, that looks familiar, I quickly bring out my journal, flipping through it faster than ever. It matches.
"Zoe, it matched!" I exclaimed
"Hmm hmm" she said uninterestedly. Seriously, why does she always see things then leave it for me to figure out?
"Tch" I hissed
"Come on, how do you know we are coming here?" I asked again, to find out what I'm doing here, and maybe it's her mission and have planned this long ago
"Yaay, we are finally here, within 30min we should be home" Sandra said enthusiastically, interrupting the questioning I'm having with Zoe.
"I told you, you don't belong there, but here is where you long, fate will always bring you back to your root no matter what" she said to me.
I think about what she says, "I don't belong there but here, and fate will always bring me back"
"But why would fate bring me to the orphanage in the first place, and make me pass through that hell in school, and also I couldn't speak because of all the crazy and scary things you see without people calling me crazy and possessed, huh?"
"That is not for me to answer, just know that why we are here, and what you are going to become here, is your fate and no matter how much you tried running away from it, you will keep coming back"
"Do I look like someone that is running away from it?"
"Well you are not accepting it, let me make it clear, this is who you are!"
WELCOME TO THE LAND OF WALES, the sign board read.
**
The car came to an halt 40 mins later I stared at the house in front of us, a man standing outside already like he has been expecting us, or maybe he knew we were coming
"Of course, he knew". Zoe said
We alighted from the car as Sandra ran to give him a warm hug. I stand behind the car with my backpack on my shoulder staring at the duo. After the brief hug that seems to have lasted for forever He finally noticed me.
"She is the one you talked about?" He said facing me
"They already talked about me, Great!?"
"Yes, she is, remove your shades Chloe be polite" she said
"Wow, how are you dear" he said after I've done what she said
"And, she is not much of a talker" she bolted in, stressing the And.
"I understand" he replied
"Well you don't" I thought
"Don't worry once you have fully settled down you will be fine and soon you will be free with everyone." he said
"And you should meet my son he should be your age mate" he said while we proceeds inside
"Paul, our luggage" Sandra said
"Don't worry about it, Sean and?" He said facing me
"Chloe, her name is Chloe" Sandra said quickly
"Yeah, sorry I forgot Sean and Chloe can take it right?" He asked facing me
"Oh, don't ask me!" I said in my Mind
"Sean!" He called
"Come on, where is this silly boy?"
"Hey Dad, aunt Sandra, it's been ages " he said excitedly
"Ages? The last time I saw you was when you're a year old I think"
"So I don't think we've gotten acquainted enough right?" She added
"Well don't blame me, Dad and mum used to talk about you all the time while pointing at a picture of you in that family portrait" he said pointing at the portrait.
"And also it's still ages"
"Come on Sean, don't mind that silly boy"
"Hey there pretty" he called out to me
"Her name is Chloe and she is your sister, so enough of the flirting" Paul said with an eye roll
"I wasn't even flirting"
"You should help her with their luggage outside they will be leaving tomorrow morning"
"Oh, okay, I thought they are here to stay"
"Of course they are, Right Sandra?
"Yeah"
"You see, now out you, I and Sandra here have a lot to catch up on, I wish your mum is here she will be so hype up to see her.
"What do you mean?, where is she?" Sandra asked worriedly
"What Happened to Emily?" She added
"She is gone"
"What, Emily is gone!?"

Wales mystical holmes * * * Written by ibikunle Charis Episode 4 "What do you mean, Emily is gone!?" Sandra exclaimed "Yes, She died after some brief illness" he replied with his face buried down "I'm so sorry, I didn't know that she is.." She was saying "Nah, it's okay" he interrupted "That is so sad," she said, not knowing what else to say, knowing how much Paul had loved her. "I know right, anyway I'm over it now," he said with a cracked voice, obviously he isn't. "It's okay to feel sad, Emily is the best human I've ever met," she said with a sigh remembering some memories she had with her. It must have been hard for him, losing his daughter and also his beloved wife. "Now back to what we were talking about, what happened?" *** "So I guess you will be starting school next week, right?" Sean said, hoping for an answer this time, as he opened the car door to grab Sandra's bag. "Seriously, pretty girls don't talk huh?" He said not liking the silent treatment he is o
Episode 5"He killed her" she whimpered"It wasn't intentional right?, why would he keep it from me, then blamed me for failed parenting if it wasn't intentional" she added"I knew the excuse was not adding up, Clara can't just wake up one day and start taking drugs and died at the process, He makes it seems so real, clearing all my doubt, making me believe of how I failed as a mother to protect my daughter" "And kept blaming me everyday, I had to live with the guilt every single day of my life while he is the one that is supposed to be living with that kind of guilt.""He killed her, he pushed her to her death, he said she drugged herself and fell from being high and bashed her head on the wall at the process, while as he did it" she cried out "I had to take you in and care for you with all I can cos I don't want to make the same mistake twice knowing how hard it is to bring her into this world"She said with tears. I held her hand urging her to let all the tears out.**"Grrr grrr
Episode 6In the woods, she walked directly to the center of the forest. There is a cleared portion there that is surrounded by trees forming a circle and their dried leaves covering the surface of the cleared ground. She stood before the circle and raised her hand for a slight wave blowing away all the dried leaves at the instat, revealing a round iron that serves as a gateway to the underground cave she is about to go to. She stepped on it and it immediately gagged then dropped speedily to the seemingly pitch black bottomless pit, but when it was about to make contact with the ground, it suddenly stopped mid air. She gently came down from it and it went back up speedily like it initially dropped and locked the cave close. The light from the lamp lit up the caveShe turned around then started walking up to them, immediately they saw her, they brought their heads up in hope there would be a lead to what they have been looking for, and an answer to their questions.She gently bowed her
Wales mystical holmes***Written by Ibikunle CharisEpisode 7I stepped out of the shower with my towel wrapped around my body, I sat down before my dressing table and started drying my hair with the hair dryer. I picked out a casual outfit and wore it after I'm done drying my hair and applying body lotion.I walked out of my bedroom straight to the kitchen with my books and placed them on the dining table. I smiled at the number of cookies Sandra had made before leaving home. She has been job hunting since last week. I hope she gets it though.I grabbed some cookies with a glass of milk and took them to the dining room.It's been two weeks since I started schooling here. The experience is pretty nice, as the students and people of Wales are nice folks.I was halfway into my food when the door opened revealing Brian, Cassie and Sean. Sean quickly rushed into the kitchen and came out with all the bowls of cookies left."Where is Sarah?" I asked them"She should be here soon," Brian
Episode 8Sandra 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 povI stood at the pitch-black door that leads to where
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 77Seeing her armies are all dead, she smirks then bent a little, her wings prolonged out from her back with fire flame emitting from it she flapped them and a spark of fire dropped from it engulfing anything it comes in contact with, with fire.Zoe appeared beside Chloe, “where have you been?“ Chloe asked her. “Renetha is not dead!“ She said instead. “I see you are already adapting the other side of you as Sarah's twin sister.“ She added“Why didn't you tell me I'm Sarah's sister, I know you have known about this for a very long time, and how did you know Renetha is not dead, I saw her in the vision!“ Chloe question“Trust me when I say I had no idea how you relate to Renetha. When I first saw you at that orphanage, I felt drawn to you and I know somehow we are connected. Renetha is not dead, you can verify that yourself, you are a psychic!“ “What about you? Are you no longer a psychic?“ “Unfortunately, I only had the ability to heal, the light…”“Mum?““No. The first Light
Episode 76“Guys, we need guns!“ Decker yelled as Trina tried her best dodging the fireballs and also trying not to hit anybody as the city turned to Chaos people running up and down, buildings burning up and cars forming hold ups on the road.“Shit!“ Trina yelled as she had met a dead end and hit the steering wheel angrily, she reversed a little and swerved the car to the other street.“Watch out!“ Wilson screamed as a fire ball flew across their heads in slow motion and she hit the brake instinctively and made a reverse sharply, the fire ball hit the ground in front of them making a hole and dust filled the air.“Woah! That was close!“ Trina breathe out“You are a good driver Sheriff!“ Decker complimented“This is not the time to complement, and it's Trina I dumped the Sheriff title for good. You are right decker we need guns, let's go help our kids!“ Trina said“I know where to get one.“ Wilson said and they all faced him“Really?“ They chorused and he nodded his head yes. He was th
Episode 75“Where is Renetha?“ She asked instead and they were shocked why would she asked about her“Oh, our Lady, Renetha is dead, and our darling Leslie killed her” Scarlett said, and everyone gasped, what the heck was she saying? Leslie thought, yes, she killed her, but wasn't she the one that provoked her to do so?“Is that true Leslie?“ Aletta asked facing her“Yea, it is. I did…”“Then you've met your doom!“ Anetta interrupted without raising a finger, Leslie started feeling heat within as her whole system started boiling, that was when she understood the sentence fully, she had really met her doom, she turned to a hot lava.Renetha could see all of this from her hiding, she smiled inwardly but the smile soon turned to a frown. Scarlert clearly was the one who advised Leslie to kill her, she even provoked her, why is she now shifting all the blame on Leslie alone?Leslie is dead.“Where is the light and his puppets?“ Anetta asked as they move away from the cave and go into the d

When they got home they met Caleb already awake, who stared at them not knowing what to do, he remembered everything that had happened.“I guess this is the time you should start going to your father's house.“ Kyle said to him“I'm…” Caleb was saying when was interrupted.“Shhh! No more words, we don't wanna hear anything from you, you were even lucky you were not yet dead by now, pick your stuffs and get out, if you like you can go back to your Master, and if you do, we won't hesitate to get rid of you, I personally won't hesitate to kill you. Take that as a threat, do you understand? Now leave!“ Cassie blurted out and they started at her, Caleb hastily left the mansion and when they were sure he was gone, they all laughed out.“Gosh he looked so scared!“ Cassie said“I meant what I said though!“ She ad
Episode 73Sarah was the first to walk into the ward, Olivia turned to face the door as she watched them walk in, Sarah sat beside her on her right-hand side and Christy stood at her left-hand side.“Olivia!“ Christy called and she turned to face Christy, she hugged her for some time before she finally let go.“I'm sorry you have to pass through all that.“ Christy said to her and the Elvers walked up to her, including the Light.“Uncle Paul, Uncle Ben!“ She called out to them“We are with you Olivia, we are sorry for not being there and figuring out James was a scam!“ Paul said.“My Twins?“ She asked and they all stared at Sarah and Chloe she understood what the eye contact means and held onto Sarah's hands tightly, Kyle urged Chloe to go over to them because she was standing behind them, she had a sharp breath and walked towards them, Olivia sat up properly and hugged the two of them tightly with eyes closed, they all stared at them emotionally.After she had let them go, the sheriff
Episode 72She walked towards it and they all stopped what they were doing to look at her, white glowing light radiate from her and filed the room, the ancestor spirit In the form of fireflies came out of nowhere and filled the room, they all watched in awe at what was happening, and in a second her eye turned white as her dark pupils and irises disappeared she rose from the ground slowly and the light went into the blade as it also rose from the ground till they were suddenly blind out of the light like an explosion and they all covered their eyes, and everything went still, she dropped to the ground the white covering her pupils and Irises slowly faded out revealing her original eyes color. She walked over to the blade and it also went closer to her she stretched her hands at it and held its handle and as she was about to swiftly take it she fell.“What the heck!“ She yelled at the heavy blade she had no idea was so heavy.She tried taking it again but she failed, the blade chimes a
Episode 71Brian knocked on the door gently to get her attention and she groaned, don't they give up? She thought.“Cassie, it's me.“ He said when he got no response from her.“Brian?“ She called and sat up. “Come in, the door is not locked.“ She said to him and he walked in closing the door behind him and walked towards the bed. He sat on the mattress and Cassie hugged him.“It's okay, everything is going to be fine.“ He said petting her. Sean had called him about the latest update, Funnily, he had been in her room since the day break and was waiting for her to come back from wherever she had gone to, since she has a bad habit of not always taking her phone with her everywhere she go he couldn't check up on her and where she could be.“Sean told me everything”“He wasn't totally a bad person right?“ She asked him“I can't say…”“If they hadn't left him, he would have still been a better person, all my birthdays wouldn't have been void if he was there.“ She said,“But he still has the
Episode 70“Can I keep this here, I will come back for it later.“ She said to him,“Yes, sure, you can” he rushed and he wondered if she understood the part where he said 'I found my muse and it's you.' They got out of the room to find Sarah and Sean at the front door leaving the mansion, and Chloe called unto her as she rushed to meet up with her“Where have you been? I've searched everywhere for you.““I was with Kyle.““Really?““Yes, you can ask him, I was truly with him.“ She said and Sean winked at Kyle, and he mouthed 'it's not what you think at' him. “Where are you heading to?“ She asked“At mum's place, wanna tag along?“ Sarah said“Of course, I want to.““Let's get going then.““I can make the transportation easy” Kyle said“No!“ Chloe quickly chips in.“What?“ They all chroused. And she closed her eyes, igniting her psychic ability, she opened her yes back“We have someone ass to whooped.“ She said to them“Who?““Carter is dead, is it Renetha?““No, the current master of
Episode 69Sarah knocks gently on the door of the room Cassie is, coaxing her to open the door, but she won't open it. Sean stood beside her and watched her call unto her name several times.“Let her be, she will come around, she just needs to be left alone for some time,” Sean said to Sarah and she gave up.“Text Brian about Cassie,” she said to him and he took out his phone to do as she saidShe walked away from the room. “Where are you going?“ Sean asked her“To see Mum, where is Chloe?“ “I don't know, mind if I tag along?““Of course, you can”***Kyle hastens his steps to meet up with Chloe after saying his piece of mind about Carter to the elders. Immediately he reached up to her, she was looking around and he asked, “Who are you looking for?““Sarah, Cassie? Where are they?“ “I don't know, but can I show you something?“ He asked instead. Of course, he wouldn't regret it.“What is it?“ “Let me show you instead, come on,” he said as she placed her hands in his and they both wa
