(IT’S ELENA)

“What did you say?”Dahlia asked

“Nothing” Elena muttered

“Come on, you just said you are the killer!”Roselle snapped

“Elena, what do you mean?”Mae asked

“Okay guys let me come clean, can you please sit and listen to me?” Elena asked and they sat down looking at her curiously

“We are listening”

“You all know I’m supposed to be dead right?”Elena said and they nodded

“Wait don’t tell me you are a ghost,” Mae  said dramatically

“I’m not, just listen to what I’m about to say. Actually, I woke up in the underworld after Ivy killed me that day, I met with a man who offered to help me return here but nothing without condition” Elena said

“What condition?”Dahlia asked

“He said each time I ki*ll, I will get the chance to live longer” Elena replied

“What the heck! What then will happen if you don’t ki*ll someone?”Roselle asked

“I might end up dying, I must ki*ll someone to live!”Elena wailed

“Was that why you killed Lily?”Mae asked

“I swear I didn’t mean it, I have already made up my mind that I will end up dying but Liam learnt about my problem, he doesn’t want to lose me so he convinced me to do what I have to do to live,” Elena said

“Now that’s another problem, what are we going to do now?”Dahlia asked

“You guys should please don’t tell on me, it’s not my fault”

“Elena this is hard for us, Mrs. Black gave us the order to fish out the killer,” Mae said

“Even if we don’t tell on you, others might fish you out,” Roselle said

“What the hell did I get myself into?”Elena held her head in despair

“This really sucks”Dahlia muttered

~WOODS
Roselle was lurking around the woods, she was so deep in thought that she didn’t know when she fell into a pit

“Arrrgh!”She screamed as she fell deeper hurting her ankle in the process

“f**k! How come I didn’t see this”

She heard faint footsteps till it became clearer, the owner is definitely coming towards her

“Who’s there?”Roselle asked, her voice echoing

“Roselle is that you?”A voice asked and Roselle quickly recognize it as Craig

“Is that Craig?”She asked

Craig peeped into the pit and he saw Roselle, he smiled immediately

“Stop smiling and get me outta here”Roselle shouted at him

“Why don’t you use your powers, what if I wasn’t here?”Craig asked and Roselle rolled her eyes

“Will you keep questioning me or will you get me out of here”

“What will I get in return” Craig smirked naughtily

“You are such a pervert, you know what I don’t need your help,” Roselle said before appearing before him

“You just helped yourself, why then are you telling me to help you up, wanna test my powers?”Craig asked

“Exactly but you couldn’t even help me up, are you powerless?”Roselle scoffed

“Watch your tongue, Rosie, I’m not powerless, I just don’t like showing off”

“What a lame excuse, “Roselle said

“Call it whatever you want, can I tell you something?”Craig asked

“What?”

“You are beautiful, I couldn’t stop staring at you in class today,” Craig said and Roselle couldn’t help but blush

“Wow, I made you blush? I’m really proud of myself”Craig crossed his arms and Roselle hit his head

“I didn’t blush for you okay? Well thanks for bringing a smile to my face”Roselle said

“It’s my pleasure, Rosie, so friends?”He asked bringing forth his hand

“Sure friends”Roselle accepted his handshake and they smiled at each other

Adrian who has been watching since left the scene immediately, he doesn’t know why he’s so angry. The sight of another guy around her Is killing him, but why? He likes Dahlia so why is he feeling that way when he saw her with Craig

He bumped into Mae on the way, she almost fell but he held her by the waist

“Sorry, be careful next time,” He said before walking away

“Why is he looking so angry?”Mae wondered

~HUMAN WORLD^ MRS WEALTH PLACE
Dina was in the room allocated to her, she was sobbing silently

“Can’t believe I caused all this for my brother, what kind of sister am I? I’m such bad luck to him”She sniffed

The door and Dina quickly wiped her tears

“Is that Daniel?”She asked

“No it’s Anna, Daniel stepped out for a while so it’s just you and I at home. I actually want to ask you something” Anna said

“I’m listening”

“Please tell me about your brother”

“Wait don’t tell me you like my brother already”Dina chuckled

“Why not, he’s so cute” Anna pouted

“Well he likes pretty girls, are you pretty?”Dina asked

“Of course I’m pretty, from now on I will start wearing sexy clothes to attract him to me” Anna smirked

“Just be yourself and try to spend more time with him”

“Of course! I really wish you can see” Anna muttered

“Same here”

“What actually happened making you lose your eyesight?”Anna asked

“It’s a long story, don’t bother to listen. I actually deserve it”Dina smiled dryly

They heard the sound of the door

“I guess Daniel is back,” Anna said leaving the room to go meet Daniel

“You are back!”

“Yes, anything wrong?”

“Of course not, I just missed you already. Mind following me to the club tonight?”Anna asked

“I can’t leave my sister here alone”

“We can take her along, don’t worry she will be fine”

~BROWN’S RESIDENCE
“I heard my baby has her power now, “Mrs Brown said

“Yes we shouldn’t worry about anything, she will be fine on her own, “Mr Brown said

“I really missed her, can’t wait so she can come back to us”

“She must complete her mission there first, I’m sure you know that”

“Of course, Hellish needs to be dealt with but I miss my baby. Can’t you talk to the authorities to grant her a day or two holiday?” Mrs. Brown asked

“Consider it done darling, I miss my daughter too” He kissed her forehead

~BORDER COLLEGE
Dahlia got to Mrs. Duel’s office. She actually called her to her office

Dahlia knocked on the floor and it opened itself indicating for her to go in

“Dahlia please seat, “Mrs Duel said and Dahlia sat in front of her

“Why did you send for me?”

“Nothing much, just granting you two days holiday to visit your parents,” Mrs Duel said

“Really?”

“Or don’t you want it?”

“Of course, I do want it, thanks so much Mrs. Duel”

“It’s your parent’s request, not mine”

Dahlia smiled as the hope of seeing Daniel dawned on her

“One more thing, do you fish out the killer as Mrs Black ordered”Mrs Duel asked

“Not yet Mrs Duel,” Dahlia said avoiding eye contact with her

“I can sense you are lying to me, this is important Dahlia. You have to tell me the truth or the killer won’t stop killing the weak supernaturals” Mrs Duel said

“But I know nothing”

“Keep quiet!”Mrs. Duel banged her arm on the desk and it cracks

“Tell me the truth now, “Mrs Duel said

“It’s Elena but it’s not her fault”Dahlia tried defending

“Say no more, I got what I needed. My instinct was right, you can go now”

Dahlia stood up suddenly regretting betraying Elena…
