?

?Jacqโ€™s POV contโ€™d?

I bent and unhooked Karissaโ€™s necklace,i made to unhook Anelโ€™s when a voice stopped me.

โ€œJacq what are you doing?โ€

I turned and saw;

Theresa!
Damn!!!

Jacq,stop the imagination and get on with this damn thing!
I sighed,hoping she wonโ€™t wake while Iโ€™m unhooking her necklace.
If she does,then Iโ€™m dead!

Whereโ€™s the damn hook!
Good! Iโ€™ve seen it.
I turned to look at ashlyn and theresa,they were both fast asleep, snoring heavily.

I turned back to Anel and was about to grab the hook when i had a rethink.
Thereโ€™s no way i will unhook her necklace without touching her neck.
What if sheโ€™s a light sleeper?

Thank goodness the hook is facing my direction,i donโ€™t have to turn her neck.
I breathed in.
Jacq,you can do this.

I carefully placed my hands on the hook, trying so hard not to touch her neck but it wasnโ€™t possible.
My hands touched her neck and she stirred, making the hook go in another direction.

Damn!

My hands followed the hook which was now at the back of her neck.
I held it and quickly unhooked it before she could stir again.
โ€œYes!!โ€ I smiled and held the necklace in my palm.

I picked karissaโ€™s necklace and wore it on her neck.
I hooked it and carefully made the pendant stay inside her pajamas, exactly the way she does it.
I sighed happily, that was so easy.

I stood up and walked straight to the bathroom with Anelโ€™s necklace folded in my palm.
I dipped it into a bucket of water and watched it shone.
The whole water in the bucket turned golden,the brightness nearly blinded my eyes.

Excitement pumped through my veins and i had to stifle a scream of happiness.

I dipped my second hand into the water and it felt so good.
Oh..my..this is amazing.
This is damn amazing.
I canโ€™t believe Iโ€™m gonna own a shiny necklace.

Ofcourse Iโ€™m not gonna give it to Karissa.
I also have a duplicate of this necklace and thatโ€™s what Iโ€™m gonna give to Karissa.
I didnโ€™t know what pushed me to keep the necklace in my box the day i was packing for camp and now it has proved itโ€™s usefulness.
If she tells me the necklace isnโ€™t shining, Iโ€™ll just cook up an excuse. Sheโ€™s a dummy, sheโ€™s gonna believe me immediately.

I heard someone yawned loudly from the room and i quickly removed the necklace from the water.
The water stopped shining but the necklace still sparkled in my hand.
I smiled and stared at it amazingly.

It stopped shining after some minutes and i felt like dipping it inside that water again.
I hooked it round my neck and covered it with my pajamas before walking out of the bathroom.

I was shocked to see Ashlyn awake.
She was on a call.
Damn! She caught me?
Her facial expression said otherwise but Iโ€™m still bothered.

I walked to my bed and quietly laid on it.
I drew the blanket closer and closed my eyes.
I stole a look at her but she wasnโ€™t giving me any suspicious look.
She was still on the call, smiling and glancing round the room.

Good!
Shows she didnโ€™t caught me.

I smiled inwardly.

Yess!

{Next morning}

?Anelโ€™s POV?

I woke up with a pounding headache.
My eyes remained closed.
โ€œAh!โ€ I sighed slowly in pain.

โ€œAsanel are you okay?โ€ I heard theresa asked.
I nodded,still not opening my eyes.
The headache increased and i had to start rubbing my forehead.
I tried hard not to let out any sigh of pain.

โ€œAsanelโ€ I heard theresa called again.
โ€œAre you okay?โ€ She asked.
I opened my eyes and shut it close immediately.
I felt dizzy and my eyeballs felt as it theyโ€™ll gonna pop out any moment.
The headache increased.

โ€œAhh! My headโ€ I groaned.
โ€œOMG! Asanel,whatโ€™s wrong with you?โ€ I heard Theresa and Ashlyn asked.
I felt their hands on my body.
โ€œM..my headโ€ I cried.
โ€œOMG! Quickly go fetch Mrs Claudeโ€ Theresa said to Ashlyn.

โ€œAsanel,just open your eyesโ€ Theresa said worriedly.
โ€œI canโ€™tโ€ I said.
โ€œJust try,i need your eyes opened. Please Asanelโ€ Theresa said.

I remembered the last time this happened to me was when i pulled off my necklace and locked it in the drawer.
I slowly touched my neck and felt my necklace.
Itโ€™s there! Then why am i feeling this way.

โ€œOpen your eyes Asanelโ€ฆ pleaseโ€ Theresa repeated but i didnโ€™t, knowing how i felt the first time i opened it .
โ€œJacq,please get me a bowl of cold water and a piece of clothโ€ Theresa said to Jacq.
โ€œI think you should get that yourselfโ€ I heard Jacq said.

Theresa sighed;
โ€œAsanel, please try to open your eyes before Mrs Claude comes so she can know what exactly is wrong with you. Pleaseโ€ She said.
I sensed the worry in her voice and decided to give it try.
My head didnโ€™t stopped pounding.

Damn!

I opened my eyes and was almost forced to close it back but i didnโ€™t. I tried to keep it open despite the dizziness.
โ€œGood!โ€ Theresa said.
I noticed sheโ€™s still in her pajamas,her toothbrush is in her hand and her body towel hung on her shoulder. She was about taking her bath before i disturbed her.

โ€œYou can go ahead and have your bathโ€ I said,still rubbing my forehead.
โ€œNo..no,i canโ€™t leave you this wayโ€ she said and threw her toothbrush and body towel on her bed.
โ€œHowโ€™re you feeling exactly?โ€ She asked.
โ€œJ.. just a little headacheโ€ I said and swore at the headache that kept increasing each passing minute.

โ€œYou call this little headache and youโ€™re groaning in pain? Where the hell is Ashlyn!โ€ She said and just then the door opened.
Mrs Claude rushed in with Ashlyn.

โ€œAsanel whatโ€™s wrong?โ€ She asked crouching beside my bed.
โ€œSheโ€™s having a serious headache and her eyes are dizzyโ€ Theresa said.
โ€œReally?โ€ She asked.
I nodded.
โ€œHave you felt this way before?โ€ She asked.
โ€œNoโ€ I lied.

โ€œOkay,just hold on huh? Iโ€™ll go get you some medications now,Theresa get a bowl of cold water and also a piece of cloth. Massage her forehead with it till Iโ€™m backโ€ Mrs Claude said before rushing out of the room.
Jacq walked into the bathroom and i heard her lock the door.

Theresa stood up and walked to the bathroom door.
โ€œJacq,you have to give me a minute. I need to get a bowl of water for Asanelโ€ She said.
โ€œI canโ€™t open the doorโ€ we heard Jacq said.
โ€œPlease,i really need toโ€ Theresa said.
โ€œI canโ€™t,no one can come in here until Iโ€™m done bathingโ€ She shouted.

โ€œIs it starting to subside?โ€ Ashlyn asked worriedly.
โ€œNoโ€ I said.
My head has never pounded this hard.
โ€œAhh.. sorry,i know how it feelsโ€ She said.
โ€œJacq,open this door. I need to get a bowl of water for Asanelโ€ Theresa said, obviously starting to get pissed.

โ€œTheresa, come stay with her. Iโ€™ll go get the water from the lakeโ€ Ashlyn said.
โ€œSeriously this girl is annoying!โ€ Theresa said.
โ€œJust let her beโ€ Ashlyn stood up.
โ€œWhere are you going to get a bowl?โ€ Theresa asked Ashlyn.
โ€œIโ€™ll ask one of the cooks for itโ€ She said before walking out of the room.

Theresa took her position beside me.
โ€œSorry huh?โ€ She said and i nodded.
โ€œThanksโ€ I said and noticed my eyes were starting to get blur.
She felt my temperature.
โ€œYour temperature is cool,i wonder whatโ€™s up with the headacheโ€ She said.

Ashlyn walked in with the bowl of water after some minutes.
Theresa stood up and took it from her.
She placed it beside my bed and quickly opened her box to get a piece of cloth.

โ€œThanks Ashlynโ€ I said as she sat beside me.
โ€œItโ€™s nothingโ€ She said.

Theresa dipped the cloth into the bowl of water,squeezed it a little before placing it on my forehead.
She massaged my forehead with it continuously and i noticed the headache was starting to relieve me gradually.

Iโ€™m not feeling anything again!

I laid still..maybe the headache is still gonna return.
Minutes passed,it didnโ€™t!

โ€œIโ€™m fine nowโ€ I shouted and quickly sat up.
โ€œReally?โ€ Theresa eyes widened.
โ€œThank goodness!โ€ Ashlyn smiled.
โ€œYou mean,the headache has subsided?โ€ Theresa asked.
โ€œYes,Iโ€™m not feeling anything againโ€ I smiled happily, caressing my forehead.

โ€œWow!โ€ She exclaimed.
โ€œThanks so much guysโ€ I said.
โ€œYouโ€™re welcome Asanelโ€ they both said.
Theresa pushed the bowl of water away.
โ€œSo are we friends now?โ€ She asked stretching her hand forward.
I smiled. โ€œOf courseโ€
I didnโ€™t take her hand,i hugged her instead.
โ€œOMG!โ€ She exclaimed happily โ€œi canโ€™t believe Iโ€™m hugging the most beautiful girl in Makers high schoolโ€ She said and i grinned.

I saw a longing look in Ashlynโ€™s eyes.
โ€œComโ€™on Ashlyn,youโ€™ve also become my friend,you both helped me when i was down. I appreciate it so much. Come here for a hug dearโ€ I said and drew her closer to Theresa and i.
โ€œOMGโ€ She screamed happily making me laugh.

โ€œAsanelโ€ She called still hugging me.
โ€œHuh?โ€ I asked.
โ€œIโ€™m one of the people who has always wanted to be your friend since the day you came into our class but you never noticed me,i always try so hard to make you do but you never do. I was so happy when i saw that youโ€™re among the people Iโ€™ll be sharing this cabin with. Thanks so much Asanel,for making me your friend,you just donโ€™t know how happy i amโ€ She said.
โ€œWow!โ€ I exclaimed.

That really gat me.

โ€œNice speech gurlโ€ Theresa winked at ashlyn and we laughed.

The door opened and Mrs Claude rushed in with medication and a glass cup of water.
โ€œHuh!โ€ She exclaimed, surprised to see me sitting up and laughing.
โ€œMrs Claude,sheโ€™s now fineโ€ Theresa danced and i stifled a chuckle.
โ€œYes Mrs Claude,the headache stopped alreadyโ€ Ashlyn said.

โ€œWow! Thank goodness,i was so worriedโ€ She said.
โ€œThanks Mrs Claudeโ€ I said.
โ€œYouโ€™re welcomeโ€ She smiled.
โ€œDo i still have to take those medication?โ€ I asked.
โ€œYeah,you have toโ€ she said and passed it to me.
I poured the coloured pills in my mouth before gulping it down my throat with water.

I dropped the glass cup beside my bed.
โ€œSo,you all should get ready. Your breakfast will be served soon and weโ€™ll be leaving for mayhem desert after thatโ€ she said.
โ€œYes!โ€ Theresa said happily.
โ€œI have to also go prepareโ€ she said and walked out of the room.
I caught a glimpse of the tattoo behind her neck and sighed in confusion.
This is the same tattoo I saw on the perpetratorโ€™s neck but why do i keep feeling she isnโ€™t the one.

Jacq walked out of the bathroom, with a towel wrapped around her body.
I wonder what sheโ€™s folding in her palm.
I saw Theresa and Ashlyn gave her a mean look,she returned their looks,hissed and started getting dressed.

โ€œIโ€™ve never seen a girl with bony shoulders!โ€ Theresa scoffed and this time i couldnโ€™t help but laugh.
Ashlyn didnโ€™t also stop laughing.

?

I quickly got dressed inside the bathroom,I just finished bathing.
Iโ€™m not very used to getting dressed in front of everyone,i feel so uncomfortable while Iโ€™m at it.

My gaze fell on my necklace i and noticed it wasnโ€™t shining.

Huh?

Ohh..has it gotten dry?
It should still be sparkling cause i finished bathing few minutes ago.

I even forgot to look at it while i was bathing,my mind was distracted.

โ€œAsanel are you done?โ€ I heard Theresa asked.
โ€œYeahโ€ I said loudly.
I hung my towel and walked out of the bathroom.
โ€œIโ€™m sorry i took so longโ€ I said to her.
โ€œItโ€™s fineโ€ She said and walked into the bathroom.
Ashlyn was done getting dressed,sheโ€™s having her breakfast.

I picked my body lotion and applied it on my body.
I combed my hair and decided to leave it unpacked.

I sat on the bed and placed my breakfast tray on my laps.
I started eating.

??

โ€œIt felt as it my head would blow off at that momentโ€ I said to Dan as we all walked to the desert.
Vie is far behind us.
โ€œReally?โ€ He asked.
โ€œYeah,all thanks to Theresa and Ashlynโ€ I said.
โ€œWho are they?โ€ He asked.
โ€œMy cabin-mates and my new friendsโ€ I smiled.
โ€œOhhโ€ He said.

โ€œAreeee you jealous?โ€ I teased.
He laughed. โ€œWhy should i get jealous?โ€
โ€œCause i now have new friendsโ€ I said.
โ€ You can have dozens of friend,i wonโ€™t be bothered cause Iโ€™m not just your friendโ€ He said.

โ€œYeah,youโ€™re my best friendโ€ I said.
โ€œNo,Iโ€™m not your best friendโ€ He said.
โ€œYouโ€™re what then? Best maniac?โ€ I asked and he laughed.
I love making him laugh.

โ€œIโ€™m your boyfriendโ€ He winked.
?Dream on? I sang.
โ€œUh!โ€ He sighed and we kept on walking.

Two teachers were at the front and two at the back.

โ€œCan you believe i also developed headache this morning?โ€ He asked.
โ€œReally?โ€
He nodded. โ€œYeah,but i donโ€™t think mine was as severe as yoursโ€
โ€œOh..did you take medications?โ€ I asked.
โ€œNah,i didnโ€™t even told anyone about it,i just walked out of my cabin and dipped my head into the lakeโ€ He said.
โ€œWow!โ€ I exclaimed.
โ€œYeah,i was surprised alsoโ€ He said.
โ€œThe only time i felt that was when my necklace was off my neck but look,itโ€™s on my neckโ€ I said and brought it out.

โ€œI think itโ€™s because we played so hard yesternight.โ€ He said.
I shrugged.

โ€œOMG weโ€™ve gotten to the desertโ€ He said smiling widely.
โ€œWow!โ€ I exclaimed staring at the wide empty land filled with smooth red sand. There was nothing,i mean nothing there.

โ€œHere we areโ€ Mr Jones said and everyone stopped walking.
โ€œThis is mayhem desert, weโ€™re gonna tour now, weโ€™ll also go into the woods, weโ€™re gonna teach you how to cut the woods and make fire cause tonight, weโ€™re gonna be making fire in front of our cabinโ€ He said.
โ€œYaaaaayโ€ Students shouted in excitement and we all spread across the desert,some already taking pictures while some jotted down things.

Dan and i glanced at each other and we laughed.
โ€œAre you thinking what Iโ€™m thinking?โ€ I asked.
โ€œOf course,youโ€™re thinking we should come back here tonight and thatโ€™s also what Iโ€™m thinkingโ€ He said.
โ€œOhhโ€ฆ youโ€™re surely my partner in crimeโ€ I said.
โ€œYes,until they get hold of usโ€ He said and i laughed.

Vie walked to us, looking scared.
โ€œThereโ€™s no evil goddess here Vie,stop being afraidโ€ Dan said to her.
She nodded.
โ€œComโ€™on Vie,i bet you donโ€™t wanna miss out from the fun. Letโ€™s gooooooooโ€ I said and dragged her and Dan along.


Every students carried a bundle of wood as we walked back to our cabins.
The whole process was stressful but it was fun as hell.
We almost laughed out our lungs.

โ€œI had so much funโ€ Vie said.
โ€œSee. I told you there was no evil goddessโ€ Dan said.
โ€œYeah,i now believe thatโ€ Vie smiled.
โ€œI actually thought deserts are mostly wastelands but this proved me wrongโ€ I said.
โ€œMe tooโ€ฆi canโ€™t wait to be here againโ€ Dan said.

โ€œMr Jones said weโ€™ll visit other places tomorrow,so i donโ€™t think weโ€™ll visit here againโ€ Vie said and i glanced at Dan.
She isnโ€™t aware that weโ€™re gonna be here tonight.. Dan and i.

**

Everywhere was looking so colourful and bright,weโ€™ve made fire and we were sitting round it in groups.

Theresa, Ashlyn, Vie, Dan and i are seated round the fire we made with our wood.
We were all having our dinner.

โ€œIโ€™m glad to be seated here with you allโ€ Ashlyn smiled
โ€œMe tooโ€ Theresa said.
โ€œWow! Iโ€™ve always been avoided cause Iโ€™m fat but now, people are glad to be sitting with me. Isnโ€™t that wonderful?โ€ Vie smiled and we all laughed.

**

โ€œIโ€™ll be here with Danโ€ I said to Ashlyn and Theresa who were about going to bed.
โ€œOkay, goodnightโ€ They both said and walked away.
Vie has also gone to her cabin.

โ€œShould we go now?โ€ I asked.
โ€œOfcourseโ€ he said and took my hand.
โ€œLetโ€™s be careful so we wonโ€™t get caughtโ€ He said.

?

We walked into the desert, smiling happily.
โ€œItโ€™s so much better with no one around except usโ€ I said.
โ€œOf course,thatโ€™s the reason we came this nightโ€ He said.
โ€œI love the feeling of sand beneath my feetโ€ I said and slid my feet out of my slippers.
I held my slippers in my hand.
Dan also did the same.

โ€œWhat a beautiful sight,the moon is so bright hereโ€ I said.
Dan draped his arm across my shoulders as we walked farther into the desert.
*
We were laughing at Danโ€™s joke when a strange feeling suddenly rushed over me.
The exact feeling i once felt when i was in the school hallway.

โ€œAnel,did you feel that?โ€ Dan asked.
โ€œYouโ€™re also feeling that?โ€ I asked and he nodded.

The feeling grew intense that my slippers fell off my hand.
I held on to Dan tightly.

Wind started blowing sand in our direction.
I closed my eyes tightly and tried moving away but i realised we were stuck!

The wind suddenly stopped,i opened my eyes and looked at Dan.
He was shivering looking forward,sweat poured out of his forehead.
โ€œDanโ€ I called.
โ€œA..anel,l..lo.. look at thatโ€ He stammered pointing to the direction his gaze is stuck.

โ€œWhat?โ€ I asked and turned my neck.
My heart pounded against my chest,i stood rooted to the spot, shivering and sweating without control.
I breathed rapidly and lost all my senses for a moment when i saw a woman,looking so scary in a bloody red robe,her hair is pure white, long down to her feet,her fingers are black and smoke emanated from the staff she was holding.
Her eyeballs are mixture of yellow and red.
She touched her hair with a finger and it turned black immediately.

She rolled her huge eyes and this time my heart dropped when two mini snakes flew out of her eyes.

?Iโ€™m Felia,the evil goddess of wishes? She said with fire pouring out of her mouth.

The whole desert shook wildlyโ€ฆ

โ€œHelppppppp!!!โ€ I screamed loudly in tears.

JUST FOR LOVE 2 Episode 43 by Azeemah Salami

Anelโ€™s POV?

โ€œHelppppppp!!โ€ I screamed loudly in tears.

She laughed?I guess your mother didnโ€™t tell you,no matter how loud your scream is,no one will hear youโ€?
She started walking closer to us and i nearly peed in my pants.
โ€œDanโ€ I cried.

?Shut up?She shouted.
I held Dan tightly, and couldnโ€™t stop crying.
He was also shaking.

?Iโ€™m Felia,the descendant of Quilah? She said and i glanced at Dan.

Quilah!
The goddess Mum made wishes from?

?Yeah,Quilah the great goddess of wishes who granted Tamara Weston a wish? She said.

Huh!
She heard me?

?Yes,i hear peopleโ€™s thought,so think wisely ? She said.
โ€œPlease donโ€™t hurt her,hurt me insteadโ€ Dan finally said with trembling voice.
โ€œDan,what are you sayingโ€ I said.
She laughed?I wonโ€™t hurt her alone,Iโ€™ll hurt you too?
โ€œPlease, donโ€™t hurt usโ€ I said in tears.

Dan drew me closer and wiped off my tears.
I saw he was also crying.

Vie warned us..

?Of course,Genevieve warned you but you didnโ€™t take heed? she said.
โ€œDid you just thought about that?โ€ Dan asked and i nodded.
โ€œPlease donโ€™t think about anything else okay?โ€ He said and i nodded.

?Were you told the story of your parents?? She asked and we nodded.
?What an interesting story.. wasnโ€™t it??She asked.

?Answer me!!!?She yelled and her voice echoed the whole desert.
โ€œYesโ€ we quickly responded and it was then i noticed how long her tongue was plus it was so black .

?Your parents thought they made Quilah vanish but it was from her dust i was made?She said and chanted strange words.
I tried shifting back when a red couch appeared beside her.
Dan gasp.

She sat down and laid her staff on her legs.

?Iโ€™m here for revenge,your parents killed Quilah but youโ€™ll be the ones to suffer for it? she grinned and i wondered why her teeth are pure white and her tongue is black.

โ€œPlease, donโ€™t make us suffer for it,we didnโ€™t know anything about itโ€ Dan said.
?I should have gotten to you both long before now,but the necklaces on your necks didnโ€™t allow me? She said and i glanced at my neck.

My necklace was still there!

?Iโ€™ve been waiting for this opportunity and Iโ€™m glad it has presented itself,i canโ€™t wait to scrape out your eyes from your socket? She laughed loudly.

I shivered in fear and hugged Dan tighter.

?Iโ€™m not ready to kill you both yet, Iโ€™ll give you nightmares before killing you?
โ€œShould we run?โ€ Dan whispered to me .
โ€œNo,we canโ€™t. Try to move and youโ€™ll see your legs are stuckโ€ I whispered back.
โ€œWhat are we gonna do?โ€ He asked in fear.
โ€œI donโ€™t knowโ€

?Im gonna haunt you for days before killing you,you should go through hell the way your families made Quilah to?
โ€œPleaseโ€ I said rubbing my palms together.
?Leave? She said.
โ€œHuh?โ€
?You both should leave!? She yelled and i realised we can now move.

We both took to our heels, screaming as we ran back to our cabin.

**

โ€œDan what are we gonna do?โ€ I said and cleaned my tears.
โ€œI donโ€™t know and please stop cryingโ€ He said.
โ€œWe shouldnโ€™t have gone there, Vie was rightโ€ I cried harder.

We were both sitting at the edge of the lake.
There was nobody outside , everyone had gone to sleep.

โ€œI..i.. sheโ€™s gonna kill usโ€ Dan said,his eyes shiny with unshed tears.
โ€œYeah,what have we gotten ourselves intoโ€ I said.
โ€œWe didnโ€™t get ourselves into anything,our parents didโ€ He said.
โ€œYour parents didnโ€™t,my mother didโ€ I said.

โ€œWeโ€™re in this together okay?โ€ He said and i nodded.
I placed my head on his shoulders and he smoothened my hair with his palm.

We sat in silence for a long while, staring into space.

โ€œWe were so happy this noon,i never knew weโ€™ll be so sad by nightโ€ I said.
โ€œDonโ€™t brood about this. Letโ€™s just look for the way out of thisโ€ He said.
โ€œDan! Thereโ€™s no way again. Our necklaces can no longer stop herโ€
โ€œDonโ€™t say that, weโ€™ll surely look for a wayโ€ He said.
โ€œHow?โ€ I asked.

โ€œWe need to sleep over itโ€ He said.
โ€œYouโ€™re still thinking of sleeping when weโ€™re in danger?โ€ I asked.
He smiled sadly. โ€œThereโ€™s no way we wonโ€™t sleep Anel. Letโ€™s go back to our cabinโ€

โ€œI want you beside meโ€ I said.
โ€œI also want you beside me but you know the consequences right?โ€ He said.
Tears rolled down my cheeks and i wiped it away.

We both stood up and Dan walked me down to my cabin .
โ€œWill you be fine?โ€ He asked and i nodded.
โ€œYou?โ€ I askedโ€
โ€œIโ€™ll be fineโ€ He said and pecked my cheeks.
โ€œGo inโ€ He said and opened my door gently without making a sound.

โ€œGoodnightโ€ I waved at him before walking into my cabin.
I closed the door behind me and walked slowly to my bed..

I sat down and cried silently.

What if she appears now?

I quickly laid on my bed and drew the blanket over my head in fear.
I continued crying under the blanket,with various thoughts running through my mind.

What have we gotten ourselves into?
Am i gonna die like my mother?
Oh..no! This is so scary.

โ€œMumโ€ i kept calling till i slept off.

???

โ€œMum,Iโ€™m scaredโ€ I cried trying to hold her hand but i couldnโ€™t.
She was sitting beside me in the same garden but this time she wasnโ€™t smiling,she was looking sad.

โ„๏ธIโ€™m sorry Anel,wipe your tears my princessโ„๏ธ She said and i did.
โ€œWhat are we gonna do? Our necklaces canโ€™t stop her anymoreโ€ I said.
โ„๏ธYour necklaces can stop herโ„๏ธ

โ€œIt canโ€™t mumโ€ I said.
โ„๏ธIt canโ„๏ธ She said.
โ€œIt didnโ€™tโ€ I said.
โ„๏ธIt willโ„๏ธ She said.
โ€œHow?โ€ I asked.
โ„๏ธYouโ€™ll find out soonโ„๏ธ She said.

โ€œMum,what are we gonna do? Are you going to watch her kill us?โ€
โ„๏ธWater from the lakeโ„๏ธ She said and i stared at her in confusion.
โ€œWater from the lake? How?โ€ I asked.
โ„๏ธWater from the lakeโ„๏ธ She repeated.
โ€œHow mum? I donโ€™t get what youโ€™re sayingโ€
โ„๏ธMy time is up,i have to go nowโ„๏ธ she said and stood up.
I stood up after her.

She started walking away.

โ€œMumโ€ I called and tried running after her but i couldnโ€™t see her again.

โ€œMum!!!โ€ I shouted.

???

I opened my eyes and met a pair of blue eyes staring into mine.
The eyes looks familiar.
I rubbed my face to make my eyes clearer.

Dan!

โ€œDanโ€ I said and slowly sat up on the bed.
I felt better when he smiled and helped me tuck my hair behind my ears.
โ€œHowโ€™re you?โ€ He asked.
โ€œIโ€™m fine, i had a dreamโ€ I said.
โ€œReally? About what?โ€ He asked.

โ€œGood morning Asanelโ€ Theresa and Ashlyn said and i glanced up.
โ€œGood morningโ€ I said.
โ€œYour eyes look puffy like you cried yourself to sleep last night,did you?โ€ She asked.
โ€œNo ,i didnโ€™tโ€ I lied.
โ€œYou sure?โ€ She asked and i nodded.
โ€œOkayโ€ She said and walked into the bathroom.

โ€œDan,will you please leave. Boys are not allowed into the girls cabin!โ€ Jacq said.
โ€œI knowโ€ Dan turned to her. โ€œBut i had to check how my babe is faring this morning and Iโ€™m glad sheโ€™s fineโ€
โ€œIโ€™ll be leaving nowโ€ he said.
โ€œOkayโ€ I said.
โ€œYou mustnโ€™t think about that goddess okay?โ€ He whispered to me and i nodded.

He caressed my hair,stood up and then left.

I sighed heavily and got up from the bed.
โ€œAsanel,are you okay?โ€ Ashlyn asked.
โ€œYes Ashlyn,Iโ€™m fine thanksโ€ I said.

I opened my box of clothes and selected the ones Iโ€™m gonna be putting on today.
I didnโ€™t even changed into my pajamas yesternight,Iโ€™mstill in my yesterdayโ€™s wear.

โ€œAshlyn,can you please allow me to go in after Theresa?โ€ I asked, knowing sheโ€™s the next to go in.
โ€œOf course you can,Iโ€™m busy with my phone anywayโ€ She said.
โ€œThanksโ€ I muttered.
โ€œIโ€™m the one going in next!โ€ Jacq said.
โ€œLike,are you okay?โ€ Ashlyn asked her.
โ€œDirect the question to yourselfโ€ Jacq said.
โ€œAshlyn,you can go in next. I wanna go see Dan outside and it might take longโ€ I said.
โ€œOkay,and Iโ€™m gonna see if youโ€™ll go in there before me!โ€ Ashlyn glared at Jacq who glared back.

โ€œAsanel,i need to tell you somethingโ€ Ashlyn said.
โ€œOkay,after Iโ€™m back thenโ€ I said.
I walked out of my cabin and headed to Danโ€™s cabin.
We really need to plan,i donโ€™t just understand the dream i just had.
โ€˜water from the lakeโ€™
How?

I knocked on the door.
The door opened.
โ€œDanโ€ I said but Travis appeared instead.
He smiled and licked his lips.
โ€œYouโ€™ve finally come to me,i wonโ€™t think of your past behaviour. Iโ€™m gonna welcome you with open armsโ€ He smiled.
โ€œYou must be mad!,get Dan for me!โ€ I said.
โ€œAsanel,you know Dan isnโ€™t a good guy for you,he ha..โ€
โ€œShut up,call Dan for me!โ€ I shouted.
โ€œHeโ€™s not in!โ€ He said and banged the door on my face.

โ€œOuchโ€ I held my face with my palm and started walking away to my cabin.
โ€œAnelโ€ I heard and turned.
Dan was running towards me.
โ€œWhatโ€™s wrong with you? Did someone hit you?โ€ He asked and i shook my head.
โ€œWhere were you? I already went to your cabinโ€ I said.
โ€œI was at the lake, trying to think things out but i discovered another thing.โ€ He said.
โ€œWhat?โ€ I asked.
โ€œCome with meโ€ He took my hand and we both walked to the lake.

โ€œAnel,my necklace isnโ€™t shining anymoreโ€ He said worriedly.
โ€œHuh!โ€ I exclaimed.
He unhooked his necklace and dipped it into the lake.

Nothing happened,it didnโ€™t even sparkle a bit.

I quickly unhooked mine too, dipped it into the lake.

Same thing!

โ€œYours isnโ€™t shining too? What went wrong?โ€
I gasped as the realisation hit me.

โ€œOur necklaces has been exchanged!โ€

What!

โ€œWho exchanged our necklaces?โ€ He asked.
โ€œI donโ€™t know,we have to find out. That means we still have a chance over Feliaโ€ I said.
โ€œYeah,if it had been our real necklaces,she wouldnโ€™t have had access to usโ€ Dan said and i nodded.
โ€œHow the hell did our necklaces got exchanged?โ€

โ€œWe need to get our real necklaces back if we want Felia to stop haunting usโ€ I said.
โ€œHow are we gonna do that? You know there are a lot of duplicates around,how are we gonna know ours?โ€ He asked.
โ€œOurs do shine, weโ€™ll just sprinkle some water on it and then know if itโ€™s ours or notโ€ I said.
โ€œDo you think people will allow us to keep sprinkling water on their necklaces?โ€ He asked.

I sighed.

โ€œIf they donโ€™t,that means they are the suspectsโ€ I said.
โ€œTrue,so when do we start?โ€ He asked.

?You can as well start now?We heard the familiar voice behind us.
We turned and saw Felia.
I screamed and clung to Dan.

I saw her clearly now,sheโ€™s damn beautiful but she looks more scary.
She opened her mouth and her black tongue dropped down to her chest.
It looked so horrible that i nearly puked.

The smoke emanating from her staff was black! And her hair had turned purple.
Her eyes are not yellow and red anymore,they are now black.

Geez!!

?Your scream wonโ€™t be heard and no one is gonna see whatโ€™s happening here. I gave you both the chance to live for some days but it seems you want to start use it against me? She said.
โ€œWe are not using it against you.. pleaseโ€ I pleaded.

?Wellโ€ฆitโ€™s too late,if i donโ€™t kill you both now,you might succeed in making me vanish like your parents did to Quilah ? She said and stretched her staff to us.

Balls of fire rolled out of it coming directly at us.

โ€œNoooooo!โ€ I screamed.
