THE WISHING WELL SEASON 2 EP 5 by Nathaniel Anuma (Bright Daniel)

FLASH BACK
She was a keeper of her own well, inherited from her grandfather. She had archived many things through the blood sucked by the well for every of her wish to be granted in life. Also, the more wishes are made at the well, the more her life prolongs. Therefore she was nothing less than a wicked and deadly Prisca who would do anything to keep the well active and functioning just like Mr Chuks.
In the land of Iduala, one could see her, walking briskly into the forest making sure nobody followed her. Her movement was like that of a female assassin, locating her point of target. She was actually going to make sure that her well was intact without being tampered by her greatest enemy, Mr Chuks. When she got to her destination, she looked around but to see nobody at the vicinity. Before her was a dark room where the well lies. Insects chirps while animals could be heard from afar thereby revealing the nature of the forest. Nevertheless, she surged into the dark room which suddenly became bright in her sight. The room was void except a deep dark circular well that could be found at the centre. It didn’t have a triangular roof like that of Mr Chuks’ but it’s surface had a circular bubble which seems to reflect any image above it. Surprisingly to Prisca, the bubble had disappeared thereby rendering the well dormant. She couldn’t understand what was happening, therefore she came out from the dark room and looked around again as if to detect the presence of an invisible ghost. She looked up into the sky that suddenly began to get cloudy and dark too. Just then, a thunder struck from the sky and a heavy rain escalated. It was a sign that something bad had happened and she knew nobody else would be responsible but her greatest enemy, Mr Chuks. Therefore she angrily walked out from the vicinity, moving with a force to the well of that of Mr chuks where she saw him, standing by the well with his hands and eyes up into the sky like a reverend father, praying to God to hear his supplications. Yet the rain never stopped pouring.
“Chuks!” Prisca called his name, but he gave her a deaf ear. So she walked to him and pushed him in a way the man nearly had his waist broken on the ground. He glared at her like one who was about to swallow her like the snake of Moses to that of Pharaoh’s magician.
“What is your problem, Miss Clinton?” he asked.
“I just found my well dormant. Can you tell me what happened to it?” Prisca asked with much concern.
He let out a deadly smile. “Listen to me, young girl. We both have something to keep as secret and must maintain it till the end of our lives. You don’t expect me to see your well progressing more than mine. I can’t let that happen otherwise my life will go down to dust.”
Prisca moved closer to him. “So what did you do to my well?”
“I made sure it doesn’t function again so that mine will get more blood, hence my life span will also extend more as a result of whosoever that will make a wish from this my well”
Prisca was moved with anger! Her sympathetic nervous system increase along with her heartbeat. She didn’t know what to do to the young man because she was also protecting her own well, making sure it sucks more blood to prolong her life. Now it had been kept dormant by her greatest enemy. What would she do? She couldn’t take it! So, moving into a physical combat with Mr Chuks became the next option, but she was very weak to do that because the man standing before her was much more stronger than she was. “I hate you! I hate you!” her voice echoed in the rain. “Listen to me, Mr Chuks or whatever you call yourself, I will bring back my well and I will make sure that your well isn’t the only thing that will go down, you will also go down. Mark my words!”
“And how would you do that without the blood of the past-minded?”
“One day, past-minded will emanate from a wish made at your well. And i promise to find them when such time comes” she wanted to walk out, but Mr Chuks laughed with a aloud voice.
“Listen to me, Miss Clinton you know that you can’t leave this place without making a wish from my well.”
Prisca turned with a glare. “I’ll make a wish, but trust me, I’ll come back for you” as she was moving to the well Mr chuks voice came again saying, “You know that any wish you’ll make to kill me or to sabotage my well will not work. You also know that you cannot make a wish for something that has happened never to happen others you become a past-minded. And I know you won’t use yourself to reawaken your well”
“I know the rules, old man. I also know that if the past-minded doesn’t die, you’ll be the one to go down” she looked into the well and made her wish..

CONTINUITY
Now it is clear that the four students in Touch-Hill university were the past minded; those with a memory of a certain past as a result of backward movement of the clock. They were in between two devils. People who they didn’t know their dark secrets or their evil plans. Therefore, they had to suffer and die for their sake. They were like innocent beings in between two wild animals about to devour them to death. How would they know that none of the two people have interest for them to live? If they stay without acting, they will die of Mr Chuks plans, whereas if they make a move with Prisca, they will also die for her to reawaken her well. Now what must they do to stay alive?
Nevertheless, Nancy stretched up from bed that morning to see Anderson holding her like a couple in a romantic juxtaposition; their legs clutched together while their bodies had a close contact in a way Nancy’s breast felt his hairy chest. They didn’t know when sleep and cold brought them together.
“What are you doing?!” Nancy pushed him off.
Anderson opened his eyes. “What’s the matter, Nancy?”
She sat at the edge of the bed with just a pink pant. She picked her bra to wear.
“I’m sorry if anything happend while we were asleep” Anderson also sat in the same position.
Nancy kept quiet.
“Good morning anyways” he stood up to walk into the bathroom. Nancy slightly turned to see him having morning erection which disfigured the shape of his boxers. Before Anderson could come out of the bathroom, she had already gone. Therefore he became sad, feeling as if he did something wrong to her.

Sun set for the day and Juel sat at the basketball court, watching his time and making sure that Prisca showed up as they agreed. As he sat on the auditorium where audience normally sit to watch the game, he sighted her from after, walking like an angel which he had once called her. She looked charming but deadly. Before she could walk into the court, Juel met her.
“You’re a bit late”
“It doesn’t matter”
“Time matters. Scientists work with time”
“Well, I’m not a scientist”
“What are you?”
Prisca looked at him. “You look cute” she changed the topic. “Where are others?”
“This way” Juel led the way.
They walked into the residence of Kiana to see the remaining three students already ready. Juel had to lock the door when they entered. Prisca’s eyes caught with Anderson first. All was in trousers according to their gender design.
“You all need to follow my instructions to the end” Prisca began.
“How do you intend to prevent our lives from Mr Chuks’ secret?” Anderson threw the question to her.
“It will cost you a wish at my well”
“Another wish?!” Kiana exclaimed.
“Another well?” Nancy added.
Prisca detected fear from their voices. “Yes, another wish and another well” she replied calmly, but that wasn’t the truth. All became quiet, looking at one another. Anderson glared at her.
“I don’t know why I don’t trust you”
“Trust is a difficult thing to do” Prisca replied. “If you have anything against anybody, let’s clear the air now”
Silence creeped in for a moment as they utilized their minds. Kiana spoke up saying, “The only thing I wanna clear here is for you to keep your lips at a place and don’t go around kissing any guy you see”
“Ana?” Juel called calmly.
“Not now, Juel” she waved him off while her eyes fixed on Prisca to concur on what she said.
“Alright, I’ve heard you. I’m sorry” Prisca apologized.

The sun had totally went down when they walked along the land of Iduala like in adventurous movies until they arrived to their destination. Before entering into the dark room, Anderson rushed to Prisca. He held her arms tightly and glared into her eyes like a deadly lion, while Kiana and others watched from behind.
“Don’t be ridiculous, Anderson, and get your hands off me” Prisca glared back.
His voice came like fire. “I don’t trust you, Prisca. So tell us what’s really going on”
“I thought we’ve cleared everything” Prisca flung her arms from him and looked at them all. “Mr Chuks isn’t the person you think he is. We must go inside there and stop him!” she pointed at the dark room.
“How do we know you’re not working with Mr Chuks?” Kiana asked her calmly.
“We all have secrets. Therefore neither of us can be trusted. But if you truly want to stop the blood sucks by the well for every wish to be granted and also save your lives, you’ll follow me” she first began to enter into the dark room, while Kiana glanced at Juel to see him staring at Prisca. However, she had not really explained how jealous she had been ever since Prisca coincidentally kissed him…

THE WISHING WELL SEASON 2 EP 6 by Nathaniel Anuma (Bright Daniel)

Anderson had to look at his friends after Prisca entered into the dark room. They all hesitated for some seconds in order to assimilate Anderson’s endless suspicions about Prisca. They didnt have a choice, so all began to walk into the dark room. Juel could feel Kiana’s hand, grabbing his tightly like an amoeba, engulfing its prey. Anderson called back Nancy while Juel and Kiana entered into the room.
Nancy met his eyes. “What is it?”
He swallowed hard. “I want to clear my conscience and make sure that you’re not upset with me in any way”
She folded her arms, waiting for him to let the cat out of the bag.
“Nancy, I hope you’re not upset to see me early this morning in such juxtaposition with you”
She smiled. “Anderson, it’s nothing. You worry a lot. Our position was as a result of sleepiness.”
Anderson remained quiet.
“Do you have any other thing to say?” she unfolded her arms.
“No” the young man shook his head.
She turned to make a move, but Anderson held her back saying, “What if I’m right about this girl?” he gestured at the dark room.
“Do we have a choice? There is no harm in trial” she stretched her hand to him like a mother to her child. “Come, together we can conquer this”
Though the young girl had nothing in mind, but Anderson took her statement as the most romantic thing a girl had ever said to him. Therefore, he began to see her differently. He took her hand, then both walked into the room like a couple with hope and mutuality.
All circulated the well like children about to commence ‘Hide and seek.’ The only difference was that none of them put a smile on their faces, making use of their eyes as the common means of communication. Though they looked into the well to see nothing but darkness too. Kiana’s hand became more tight with Juel’s. To their very sight, Prisca reached an old bucket that hung on the wall, deep her hand inside it and brought out a long rope which she began to lower into the well.
“What are you doing?” Anderson broke the silence.
She didn’t respond as she kept lowering the rope. The students looked at one another. Just then, Prisca tied the last part of the rope on a metal object.
“You have to enter into the well through the rope” she said.
“Enter?” Nancy asked. “I thought you said we only gonna make a wish”
“You make the wish by entering into the well first” she retorted. Whereas, whosoever that enters into the well will never come out alive.
“I don’t believe you!” Anderson looked at his friends. “We should leave here now!” he grabbed Nancy’s hand to walk out but Priaca’s voice stopped him.
“Any of you who steps out of this room dies! I need your blood to reawaken this well”
The students became quiet once more to comprehend her statement. Juel directed his eyes to her saying with a low voice, “What’s going on, Prisca?”
“So my suspicion was correct” Anderson began. “You didn’t bring us here to save our lives rather to kill us”
“What difference does it make since you still gonna die for turning back the hands of the clock?” Prisca replied.
Hearing that, Kiana broke down in tears like a frustrated widow.
Anderson continued. “Point of correction, i didn’t turn back the hands of the clock!”
Juel got angry with his statement. Therefore he left Kiana and glared at him saying, “What exactly do you mean by that?”
“Your girlfriend is the cause of all this! She should have made a simple wish like everyone else not some kind of turning back the hands of the clock!”
“How would she had known the consequences of her wish!?”
“Because she thinks she’s always right not knowing that she’s a fool!”
“I won’t take that from you, Anderson” Juel approached him as if to start up a fight.
He stood his ground and returned the glare. “And what will you do, Juel?”
“Both of you, stop!” Nancy shouted in tears, but was pushed away. With the same obsession, Anderson also pushed Juel towards another direction where Prisca stood. He used that opportunity to kick her down, give her a powerful blow before Anderson brought out the rope and tied it round Prisca’s neck and hands like one about to die by hanging. The two men pushed her towards the edge of the well, while the girls became surprised for they thought they were about to fight not knowing that they used it as a distraction to get the evil girl. One could see blood gushing out from Prisca’s mouth.
“You will still die even though you kill me” she spat out blood. Nobody knew she was getting her hands loosed from the rope.
“At least you’ll go and wait for us in hell before we come” Anderson replied her. “Reawake your well by your own blood, Prisca” as he tried to push her into the well, she grabbed Juel along with her in a way both fell inside the deep dark well.
“Noo!” Kiana shrieked, looking inside the well. “Juel!” she glared at Anderson. “What have you done?!”
“I.. I don’t know!” he stammered.
Just then, the room began to quiver like an earthquake.
“We need to get out now!” Nancy dodged from falling bricks.
“How about going outside and die?” Anderson met her.
“I don’t think she meant what she said!” she looked at Kiana. “We have to leave now, Ana!”
“I’m not leaving without Juel!” she cried. A brick fell on her head at the moment and she loss consciousness. Anderson carried her like a baby then both rushed out of the room only to be blinded by the tornado that had covered everywhere with withered leaves and dry sticks. Even tall tress danced to its tone.
“Nancy, i can’t see!”
“Just, follow me!”
Not that Anderson saw her, but he followed the direction of her voice with Kiana in his hand. They skaled through from the land of Iduala after which Kiana regained consciousness. She found herself on the ground with the two friends, staring at her.
“What happened?” she asked but nobody responded. “Where is Juel!?” she broke down in tears and ran out of the arena.
“Ana!” Anderson shouted her name. She heard but kept running.
“I’m approaching Mr Chuks” Nancy also hurried out.

Kiana ran through the big school gate. Anyone who tried to stop her received a pushing force from her. Tears never dried from her eyes. She wanted to run into the vice chancellor’s office, but security stopped her. “Let me go! I want to see the vc!” she cried.
The noise attracted the vc, so he ordered to have the young lady in his office. Kiana entered with tears while Dr. Ade locked the door.
“Sir, I’m ready to tell you everything” she began with tears and twisting her fingers. “It’s all started from when the accident occured..”
“What accident?” Dr Ade was still standing up.
“Sir, an accident happened when Mr Chuks to us to an excursion and students die..”
“No accident happened, Miss Desmond. Your students came back successfully. What are you talking about?” he reached to his chair, while Kiana became tired without knowing how to explain to the old man their predicament. .

On the other hand, Nancy forcefully wanted to barge into Mr Chuks office but found it locked. Anderson arrived at the same time. Both looked devastated.
“He’s not in?” Anderson asked her.
“Yes” Nancy wanted to leave in a hurry again but Anderson drew her back “What?” she asked him.
He stared at her neck to see the image of a human skull; the death mark from the wishing well. “Nancy, you’ve gotten the mark” he said calmly.
“What?” she touched her neck and located the nearest reflective glass window where she confirmed it, then turned to Anderson with tears in her eyes. “Does that mean I’m the next to die?” she asked….
