Episode 2
Themed: the revelation
"Noooooooooooooo!" With a loud screech, "Stopppp" with a breaking voice "please".
"Not again, not even here".
sobbing into her head trying to get control over her body.
Her entire body vibrated violently, her hand shaking and moving like it has its own will.
Her glowing eye is so noticeable even with the dark shades on.
Her body violently jerked, spilling the hot pasta and orange juice all over her, while she tried her possible best to keep herself calm and behave as if everything is fine.
This is a secret that only her mom knows about.
But yikes! it's gonna reveal itself in the cafeteria.
Hell Nah, She has to do something.
But sadly she can't do anything.
Vibrating, she picked her backpack and brought out her journal with her shaking hands and place it on the messed up dining table she could hear the talks of the student calling her freak, as usual, all looking at her in disgust.
Her heart sinks hearing that cos she knows, She's gonna be the talk of the school, and she hated that.
She hated all of it, she just wish she could just disappear from the surface of the earth.
Then suddenly, The bell rang, lunchtime over.
"Finally," she said in her head in vibration.
Even though lunchtime is over, nobody is moving an inch or making the motive to go back to their various classes they were all busy watching her and seeing what she is gonna do next, in their mind she has epilepsy.
"Someone should call a teacher, the guy said from the crowd of students in front of her.
She groaned seeing nobody is willing to leave, she is fine, can't they see that, she said in her mind, she is resisting the other being in her, and that hurts a lot. And between, when do they start to care?
She should get out of here.
God, I hope no one is recording this.
Bathroom! she needs to get to the bathroom.
She try getting up, but she can't, the other her want her seated after so much struggle she fell she grabbed her journal and gently crawl in the direction of the bathroom, guess the other side of her understand what she is trying to do, she suddenly feels the urge to walk she quickly ran to the bathroom but remembering something she ran back and picked her backpack then back to the bathroom, and slammed the door shut.
She ignored the talks of a few girls that are adjusting their makeup. She looked for a space, she found one, and quickly got in and bolted the key.
Sighs, She places her journal on the WC cover, her hand became shaky again and starts moving of its own will, it makes use of the pencils inside the journal and starts sketching so fast till it's done.
"Done", Zoe said while dropping the pencil.
"What?" She replied her
"Can't you see?"
"Of course, I can see, a landscape of two mountains?" she said
"And what is that suppose to mean cos I don't understand and Seriously what is this all about?" She asked again frustrated.
"So this is the reason you decided to embarrass me in front of everyone knowing fully well how hard it is already for me in this hell of a school.
"Calm down I wasn't embarrassing you, you were the one resisting remember? I still don't get the reason why you keep hiding me" she said.
"Just shut up and allow me to figure all this out
I'm tired of all this already*
"What is there to figure out? It's all right in front of you can't you see it"
"What are you talking about? I'm saying I want to figure out how I can go back into that classroom without being looked at weirdly and check if none of what happened is on camera"
"Oh really then best of luck" Zoe said
Her name is Chloe and she has been like this since when she was 10.
She got to meet Zoe a few days after her 10th birthday at the orphanage.
It was weird and creepy realizing there is someone inside her, someone who can get into character anytime she wants, and the worst of it all she sees things.
She has been adopted by a couple of families and after two or three months she is back at the orphanage again, until two years ago when she was 14, she was adopted into the Campbell's family even though with all her strange attitudes they still keep her they love her like their very own, even if she knew she is just a replacement for their lost daughter.
What is more creepy? than having someone In your mind, trying to refrain yourself from speaking loudly because people will think you're crazy, they don't know you are communicating to someone in your head, someone you can't see but feel.
People always distance themselves from you because they think you are crazy, I mean, you are crazy when you speak to no one. You feel her pain and she feels yours.
Though it's frustrating, she learned how to adapt to the new side of herself and is ready to live with it for the rest of her life.
She stared at her journal again trying to read meaning to this strange drawing
She sighs and drops it, why does she always have to be the one to read the meaning of each revelation huh?
She never asks for it in the first place, tch.
"I can hear that"
"Just shut up"
"Fine."
Now, thinking of how she is gonna disappear from this hell, humph.
She gently opens the door and peeps around to see If there is anyone around. When she was convinced there isn't, she slowly opened the door widely and gently crept out of the bathroom like a thief sneaking in to it's victim house. School is surely over for her for today.
She knows of a secret passage to get out of the school premises but that would be too risky as she doesn't want to cause any trouble for her Foster parents.
"Is there anything you are good at, apart from seeing stupid things? Humph." She muttered
"Seriously, I'm seeing stupid things now!" She retorted
"Just help us out here and stop picking argument, ain't ready for any of that right now, I'm exhausted already" she said frustrated of the situation at hand, she doesn't think she is ready to face anybody after today's happening.
"If you want my help, then we have to do it my way" she said mischievously.
"No, just give a suggestion and I will know If it's okay to take heed to." She said aware of how she can be sometimes
"Then you don't need my help then"
"Please"
"Don't beg me"
"Okay, fine" she said thinking of it though she doesn't trust her one bit, Zoe can be crazy sometimes. At times she questions if she is really from a decade ago.
She felt a push like she was being pulled back by a thin rope with an extra force.
"Finally" she said, and walked directly to the staff room and went to meet her homeroom teacher, hoping to get permission to leave after lying about her health. She doesn't speak, but she can!
She walked down the hot scorching sun humming to Sunny by Boney M while doing some moonwalks. She had managed to convince Miss Adams, her homeroom teacher.
"Can you please stop, people think we are crazy" Chloe said conscious of every glance that was thrown at a way.
"You are crazy, I'm not, and who cares about what people think?" Zoe retorted, tired of why she is insecure if everything.
"So where are we heading to?"
"To Mom's workplace of course"
"Wait, don't tell me you're going to simp on that 70-year-old man again?"
"Don't judge me cos I find him attractive"
"I'm not the one you are going to embarrass!"
"I'm not embarrassing you, I'm just praising God's work"
"Ewwww"
"And you can't stop me"
"Who says I can't?"
"I'm going to watch you try."

She walks closer to the company's her mums worked, the gate opened. A familiar car drove out at full speed making a swift turn almost knocking her out of the way.
"Is that not mum's car?"
"I think it is"
The car came to a halt and made a reverse then came to a halt right in front of them.
"Mum!" She called her Mom jumped out of the car, looking awful like she has been crying.
"I'm so sorry Chloe, but we have to leave"
"Leave?".

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 saidI 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 sighShe 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 sh
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
