Chapter 5

*MONALISA

I took this food of hers and ate it because I had no choice obviously, she smiled at me as I was eating. Kalyn is a very weird person, there's just something about her that I never quite get. I handed her the plate and she placed it on the pedestal and sat proper on my bed looking at me… more like watching me

Me: Can I help you with something?

Her: why?

Me: why what?

Her: I've been calling you since morning and you haven't been answering my calls

Me: I'm a busy person aunt

Her: what are you hoping to find huh?

Me: what?

Her: what are you hoping to find in my house?

Me: I have no idea what you talking about

Her: you think I don't know that you the one that convinced your father to go out with me? Your father has never not once looked my way and then suddenly he wants to go out with me? I'm not stupid Monalisa

Me: could have fooled me

I mumbled

Her: excuse me?

Me: I said I just wanted us to act like a family

Her: oh…

Me: yeah. Dad needs a woman in his life and who better than you

She smiled. God women are easy to fool sometimes.

Me: Click didn't look at you because you remind him of mom… you guys were twins after all

Except mom got the brains and she… I laughed at my inside joke

Her: what's so funny?

Me: nothing. I'm sorry for the way I've been

Her: its fine. Come here

She said with her arms open, I went in and we shared a hug. At least I was feeling less weak now. Click got home and for the first time I welcomed him with open arms

Him: and then?

Me: I almost died today

I said still in his arms. He chuckled and kissed the top of my head. I broke out of his arms

Him: I'm glad you didn't die then

Me: your new girlfriend is here

Him: I know. I left her here to go and attend some emergency at work

Me: was it really work or was it The $pritz?

He chuckled

Him: it was work.

Me: can I talk to you about something… Alone of cause

Him: uhhm ok. Let's go to my office

We walked to the lounge and he greeted Kalyn and then we made our way to his study. He locked the door and we sat on the couch

Me: something weird happened today

Him: ok. I'm listening

Me: I saw an old woman on campus today except it was as though she was a pigment of my imagination

Him: you saying you hallucinating?

Me: I wish I could say I was hallucinating but I'm not. I don't smoke weed or anything for that matter Click so I don't get why I would be seeing things that aren't there

Him: ok back up.

Me: this woman said some crazy ass shiit. She said that I was an abomination to natures creation and that one of us had to die or something

Him: one of you?

Me: do I like have a twin I don't know about maybe?

He shook his head slowly

Him: even if you had a twin. Why would your twin have to die?

Me: that's the same question I was asking myself. That's not all. I didn't collapse in school today Click, I think Heather did something to me. One minute I'm walking to her office with her and the next thing I wake up at home because I apparently collapsed.

Him: one of your schoolmates says they found you laying on the floor in the toilet

Me: Click you saw me eat breakfast this morning. When have you known me to collapse? Some crazy shiiit is happening here Click

Him: what are you suggesting I do Lisa?

Me: that school is a tech school. Obviously they have camera's in every room of the school right?

Him: yeah probably

Me: I need footage from today

Him: Lisa!

Me: Click please. This is important

Him: fine. We'll get this footage of yours.

I hugged him tightly and he returned the hug

Me: thank you daddy.

Him: now go and do your homework's if you have any.

I got out of his arms with a smile and walked out to my room passing Kalyn in the lounge. I got to my room and it was dark, I switched the lights on and there was a writing on my wall, it read "FATE CHOSE YOU!" I walked over to my wall and touched the writing, it was blood. I took out my phone and moved back to try take a picture of it but it didn't show on the phone screen, I looked at the wall and the writing was there but when I tried to take a picture with my phone it didn't appear, the wall looked clean. I got out calling Click

*AHLUME

Mile and I drove to campus. I didn't tell him about my run in with the white wolf because then he was probably going to think I am crazy and that's the last thing I needed. On the way we decided to call Nathi and check up on her.

//Us: hey mom

Her: hey guys

Me: did we wake you?

Her: no baby you didn't. Did you have breakfast? Mile are you ready for your test?

Him: yes and yes mom we good. How are you? how's dad?

Her: your father is still the same

Me: what is his doctor saying?

Her: he's not giving me anything solid

Him: dad is going to pull through mom don't worry

Me: yeah the old man is stronger than you think

Her: yeah I know you guys. Thanks. Mile best of luck with your test ok

Him: thanks mom

Her: I love you boys

Me: we love you too Nathi

She chuckled

Her: bye guys

Us: bye mom//

He parked and we both got out.

Him: I'll probably come out late today so take the key and I'll call you ayt?

Me: yeah sure. Best of luck with your test

Him: thanks bro

With that he left me and I headed to my department. I saw the nun standing in a far corner so I made my way to her.

Me: why are you here?

Her: because I can help you

Me: what do you mean you can help me? What's the deal?

Her: you've met him.

Me: who?

*ANELISA

I took them up on their offer and said yes. I guess we were friends now. We were 30 minutes early so we went to chill on the school benches. She was asking me so many questions and just wanting to get to know me, I tried asking her about herself

Her: what you see is what you get. I'm bubbly and I have 3 other siblings, one of them being my nephew and that's just me. Being the granddaughter of Derrick Bess is not easy.

Me: I can't even imagine

Her: so tell me about your mom. I'm sure you look just like her

Me: I never met her

Her: what do you mean you never met her?

Me: I mean I never met her. she gave birth to me and then up'd and left

Her: I'm so sorry to hear that

She said touching my hand and nodding with a consoling smile

Me: its ok. I'm over it

Her: then who do you live with? who takes care of you?

Me: I live with my grandmother. She takes care of me I guess

Her: and your father?

Me: don't know him too

Her: don't you at least know your mother's name? that's if you want to meet her

Me: I've asked my grandmother countless times but she never tells me anything about her

Her: have you tried going through her things maybe?

I chuckled. Ok maybe this friendship or whatever was a terrible idea. I would never do such a thing to my granny

Me: no! that's wrong

Her: if you were really serious about knowing your mom, you would do anything and everything to find her… I'm just saying. Let's go to class

Me: I need to go to the ladies first. I'll meet you there

Her: sure thing.

We walked different directions, she went to class and I made my way to the ladies. I walked in and it was empty and it was dark. I searched for the light and clicked but nothing instead there was fog and I was suddenly in what looked like a cemetery. I was tied down inside a circle with a star and I was tied to small poles inside that star with my legs spread out and then there was another circle with the same thing except there was another me in that circle and then there was a woman with a black cape covering her head standing in front of what looked like a table. Me and this other me were trying to break free from this but we were both failing dismally

Her: I didn't want to have to do this but it has to be done

She turned around with a knife in her.

"Anelisa!"

I turned around and I was literally on the floor the way I was in whatever alternate universe I was in and there was no fog or whatsoever. What was going on with me? I got up from the floor and fixed my uniform. It was some girl from my class, she was looking at me weirdly

Her: what's the deal with you?

I looked at her terrified and walked out… more like ran out of the ladies and looking back every now and then. This didn't make any sense. What was happening with me? I walked in and our teacher wasn't there yet. I went to sit in my spot and Imi was sitting next to me… She was about to talk when suddenly I started feeling really dizzy and just as I looked up the lady I met yesterday was walking into our class. She stood in front and set her books down, this time she wasn't dressed as a nun.

Her: good morning class. My name is Neliswa but you guys can call me Nel…. She trailed off as I think I collapsed on the table. Everything just went blurry and things started spinning and I just couldn't breathe anymore. Everything was just too much for me to take in.
