STRANGLED DREAMS EPISODE 1 – Missing pen
I woke up from the terrible dream I hard. In the dream, I saw myself strangling Jessica, the girl that followed me from school to the lodge to have fun.
Immediately I realised myself from the dream,I quickly got up and tapped Jessica but she refused to move.
“Jessica, Jessica, Jessica ” I called and tapped her repeatedly.
She didn’t answer me neither did she make a move. I began sweating profusely, praying to God to forgive me and revive her.
That was when I also realised that the white bulbs in the room has turned red and was wiggling. I could hear cracking sounds from the ceiling.
I called out to her again “Jessica, Jessica, pleasehear me out, wake up! ” I pleaded amidst tears.
Immediately I left her to packed my things and got ready to leave her before being caught. I quickly glanced at the clock which tells exactly 2:00 am.
In fear of being caught, I stormed out of the room with my school bags and my sandals in my hand.
I quickly rushed to Kennedy, my best friend, in his one room apartment. I got to Kennedy’s house and found it locked. I checked the locks and discovered it was only bolted from inside the house.
I knocked so loudly and Kennedy who was sleeping was forced to wake up to answer the door.
“Guy hwfr, watin you dey do outside by this time?” Kennedy asked as he opened the door and realises that it was me.
I looked at him for a while with a stern look on my face then pushed him aside and went inside. Kennedy knowing that my parents was never gonna let me out by that time kept bombarding me with questions.
I refused to answer because I was in So much shock, wondering what might have happened at the hotel. I couldn’t sleep that night. Kennedy noticing how worried I was and sacrifice his sleep, just to keep me company.
The next morning Kennedy urged me to get prepared for school. I sluggishly did and together we both went to school together.
While at school I used my eyes to search if I would see Jessica but she was no where to be found. “Lord please, let this be a dream ” I kept praying in my mind.
It was few minutes after break when the time prefect rang the bell. Every student was in awe as to the reason for the sudden ring of the bell.
Soon every one was out and they all gathered at the assembly ground. While at the assembly ground the principal climbed the alter/high ground and gave the announcement.—
“I am so sad to report to you that Jessica Clement, has passed away. She was found dead this morning in a hotel room, where she lodged with one of the students of this school. Although the police haven’t identified the boy, since he wasn’t seen by morning when the hotel cleaner found Jessica dead”. The principal also went further to advise us.
While we all went to our classes my heart was busy pounding so fast especially as Kennedy kept staring at me, in a suspicious way.
