DAY 13: CURSED[JJ]

"She's sleeping okay so no one disturb her okay". Pricilla said lights out

Standing in the midst of nowhere… quick flash. Woke up one morning

"Guys I got a call". Weird stare, wondering where she was

"From who". They asked

"Mom! She wants me to attend this function, but I don't have a date". Justin said

"Well…. Pick anyone of them, Juliana perhaps". Jarad said

"Seriously".

"What do you want".

"Would you be my date". Justin asked. Spit out her food

"Yess".

"Okay". Walked away

"You didn't even bother to ask him where his taking you too". Mariana said

"Why, her supreme crush asked her out what do you expect". Saucy said

"God how long would it take her to get dress".

"Calm down bro, she's looking pretty for you".

"fuck pretty!". He added

…. Walking down, talking to David, tapped him. Lost in her beauty, couldn't look away

"Fuck pretty huh! now you are lost". Jamaine teased

"Shut up". Smiling at her

"Is that pizza". She rushed downstairs

"Pizza!". She grabbed it and started eating

"Seriously".

"What you want pizza". Sigh pulled her out of the house

"Bye".

"Bye". They entered the car and drove

Smooth drive… "Where are we going to anyway".

"Can you just let me focus".

"It's a question and you answer with your mouth not your hand". Upcoming vehicle, quick turn, tires screeching. Angry look

"Sorry". She said

Still driving. Looking around and the place is slowly turning to an abandoned area

"Justin do you know where we are going to". Juliana said

"Little Ms. Please let me be".

"Justin look around, this place looks like…. I don't feel good". About to say something, slowed down everything is beginning to make sense

"Okay maybe you are right".

"Then turn around and let's go back home".

"There is nothing to be scared of, let's keep going this is the address". Justin said.

Juliana kept persisting, but he refused to listen till the car got stuck.

"Shit".

"Great! You were being so stubborn now look". She said the both of them came down.

"Shit, it stuck".

"Look around we are lost. There is no building here".

"I should have listen to you".

"Yes you should, now what".

"Move further because going back is not an option".

"You're right". Locked the car, moving further.

The day darkens, cricket sound

"Now this place is becoming creepy". Justin said "Ain't you scared?".

"I leave in the jungle, am used to this life".

"Well this place looks different, there is no ending nor beginning am not feeling so good".

Moving further, single drop on her head touched her forehead, looking upward immediately it started raining.

"Shit!". Justin laments running around for shade, while Juliana enjoy being drench

"What are you doing". Justin said, shivering

"Where are you running too, look around there is no shade, just enjoy yourself".

"You don't get it right". He started cough

"What is wrong with you now".

"I need shade".

"Fine!". Looking around. Not so sure

"Come on lets go and check that place". She said. They hurried there

"Now what!".

"Calm down, it stuck. Stay here okay I need to look for something to break the door open". She walked away. Came back hitting the padlock so hard till it breaks

"Careful". He said

"Ahh it's open now". She said walked into the house

"This place is too creepy". Justin said

"You said you wanted shade and I find one for you, you're complaining, suit yourself". She entered the house. Turn the light on

"It's an abandoned house okay, expect more if not dead bodies". She moves further

"Heyy Justin, I found a room, with good bed". Walked back to the living room, saw him shivering badly she rushed to him

"You burning up, so quick…. What kind of man are you! okay". She helps him to unbutton his shirt, till she lost herself in his good body biceps

"Seriously".

"Right… mm I would get you something". She said rushed back to the room came out with a big blanket

"Are you seriously putting that on me, my precious skin"

"Shut up please, shut up". She wraps it around him

"Where are you going to". He asked coughing seriously

"Am going to get you something warm to drink". She walked away

Continue coughing

"I don't think am going to make it this time not in a place like this". He said. Labored breath

Coughing, all of them started coughing. Paused, looking outside, it was raining

"Someone calls Justin please". Richard said, breathing deep

"Why the sudden cough". Mya asked

"His not taking his call".

"Let this not be what am thinking". David said

Started coughing seriously, non-stop

"What is going on". Mya said

"Girls, you guys should come downstairs the boys are dying". She yelled. They kept on coughing, growing so weak. They rushed down stairs

"What happened". They asked

"I don't know… I came down stairs and they started cough and now they are like this". She said so scared

"They're burning up, get me a bowl of water, one for yourself too, with towels, so we can place it on their head". Saucy instructed. Rushed quickly to get bowls and towels

"Here!". Place the towel on their head

Came back to the living room, drop the cup, rushed to him

"What, what happened to you, come on please don't do this". She said so scared. Coughing seriously

"What do I do now, it's raining, Justin caught a cold, and now, God know what is going to happens to him. See nothing better happens to you okay! I drop the cup, I spill the water, what do I do". Continue lamenting

"This is not helping, should we take them do the hospital". Saucy said

"I think we should". They added

"But no one know they are in Ohio, if we take them to the hospital, we would blow their cover, that too with us".

"So what do you expect us to do? Watch them die… that's not possible. We have to get dress quickly". Saucy added, they rushed to get dress.

"Oh God, God please, am begging you. Justin! Justin, can you hear me. oh God, what would I do, would he really die". She said so scared, crying seriously, moving to and fro.

"I have to go outside, may…maybe I would see the herbs mother use to give us". She rushed out side

"Oh God". She laments as the rain fell heavier

….. shivering, coughing really bad. Breathing deep "where the hell is Juliana now". Try to get up, but fall back, he was too weak.

"Am I really going to die this time around". He said to himself

Moving around in circles, crying cause she've found nothing, no herbs, nobody, nothing. Thought of losing him kills her, slowly than she expected. Crying badly, she doesn't know where to look. Confused for a while. Gaze not so clear.

"Is that...". She rushed there as quick as she could

Entered the hunt…

"Hello! is someone here, my friend is dying, please…. I know you can help; you may know something that I can give him please…". Announcing her problem, door shut. Turn around, it all became clear that there was no door when she entered, but now…...

"Ho…ho... how is that possible". She stutters. Felt the presences of someone moving behind her, turn around quick and she screams loudly… not stable, still showing double personality. Fear grips Juliana. Now stable zyron. Almost passing out

"Get hold of yourself, haven't you seen me before".

"You what, why, how…".

"That's not the question you should be asking, here". She gave her a green leaf. "I've traveled far for this, overcome a lot so… use it wisely. Give it to him, he would be fine".

"Thank you… thank you". Immediately she collected it, she felt dizzy for a while, but gain herself. Rushed out. Run further and stop, the hunt was no longer there.

"What!". So confused, but she kept on running till she got to the house.

…. Half way dead...

"Justin, please hold on, let me... give you this leaf. His he supposed to drink it or chew it, it's proper if he drinks it". She said

Came back with the concoction

"Are you dead?". He started cough

"Okay you're not, yet, here drink this".

"What is it…".

"Just shut up and drink it okay". Forced it in his mouth

"Damn, why is it so bitter"

"It's poison".

"What! Give me water".

"No!" she walked away

"What is wrong with you guys. I told you to get dress, so we could take them to the hospital, but no. if anything happens to this boys…..". she said. Observed calmly, she came closer, placed her hand on his forehead. "Girls!". She yelled. They rushed down quickly

"What happen". They asked

"They are stable".

"What!". They exclaim

"Help them up". They took them to their bedroom for proper rest

"God what just happen".

"Panic attack".

"And Juliana and Justin are not back yet". Scarlet added

Walked back in

"Come on let's go". She said

"Where?".

"To the bedroom...".

...Lying on the grass, middle of nowhere. Whispers …. "Anita…Anita…. wake up… wake up". Trying to get up

"Find them for me". fegrance voice

"Arrh!". She open her eyes, pacing

"You've been dreaming again". Pricilla said. Woke the boys too. No response. Zyron appears, standing right in front of her. Torn dress, blood dripping, staring at her…

"Anita it's just a dream, none of it is real". She said. "Anita closed her eyes, holding her hair firm…. vision blurry… blood writing on the wall I've found you

Open her eyes, Zyron is gone… heaved a big sigh… rest her head on Pricilla

"Now you are okay" Richard said

"Yes, am fine".

"Uhh thank God". Went back to bed…

"So it was all a dream, everything. I need to find out why this woman lives in this house". She said within. Zyron appears right next to her, smiling.
