Chapter 23: A Plan

Angel's POV:

Two Months Later*

When I woke up two months ago, I felt something bad was gonna happen. I had a dream something bad happened then. Ever since Abby's warning on my birthday, I've been on edge a bit. Justin took notice and began to worry. I didn't wanna worry him about it so I lied and said I was fine but he knows I wasn't okay. I kept lying to him about me being okay. Then it happened. Keisha and Tasha got into a bad car accident. Tasha's friend, Michelle, died. I felt bad for her. I saw them in the hospital that day. As I talked to Tasha, I felt my phone vibrate. It was an Instagram text from Abby. I opened the voice message and had said for me to break up with Justin or this time she will kill Tasha and Keisha. She sent me her phone number and I called her when I left for the bathroom. She picked up and we got into it.

She said that I either break up with Justin or she'll have him suffer a loss. Or have me suffer a loss. She then sent me a video of the car accident. The car that hit them sped up and slammed into them on purpose. After I broke up with Justin, later on that day, I flew to his house to see him and apologized. But his Mom said the damage was already down so I left. Turns out Abby had an inside person to watch me since she left. I didn't know who it was but I was worried. She said that the person was taking video of me and if I didn't do it, she'll kill someone I care about. I was torn. She threatened to kill Justin since we both loved him. She even sent me a picture of him when we was in Keisha's room. I decided to go through with it. I broke up with Justin but it hurt me to the core. I felt bad about it. My emotions are connected to the weather so it rained for next few weeks.

Kacey was the only one who knew of Abby blackmailing me. I made her swear not to say anything. I cried into her arms every night since I broke up with Justin. After a few weeks, I stopped crying. I grew depressed after me and Justin stopped talking. He didn't even come into work that day I broke up with him. Neither did I. The next day we did but we didn't speak. It was awkward but we always kept our distance from each other. It hurt me so bad that I couldn't talk to him. Kacey and I hatched a plan to figure out who was Abby's inside man to take them out. I couldn't tell Annie or Bishop for fear of scaring the person off and telling Abby. So me and Kacey did our own digging. We decided to make up a secret about myself and see who would tell Abby.

If she sent me anything about the secret, then I'd know who it was. I made up a lie about me thinking about becoming a stripper lowkey. Kacey said for me to tell one person at a time and wait a week for Abby to say anything. If she didn't, then it wasn't the person. So far, I was at Colin. He didn't seem like the type of guy to care about what I do since I didn't get with him. But it was hard to narrow down my search since everyone hated Abby. I've been extra extra careful what I said, and how I act around people. I searched a room for anything before I go into it. Knowing Abby and how her mind works, I don't doubt she don't know anything about explosives and how to take me out. When Keisha and Tasha got out the hospital, I was glad. I told Keisha about my plan and she wanted in.

I was close to giving up my search until I came to the Mexican dude that wore the gray sweatpants that day at the movies. Turns out he got a job working for us and I didn't notice. I told him about my fake secret and I waited a few days before Abby texted me about my so called secret. I zeroed in on the guy but stopped. When I got my Raider powers the night before, I read the dude's mind. Turns out he's a scapegoat for Abby when the real person was the girl who I fought and got arrested for. Turns out Abby turned her into a succubus and now she had powers. I told Kacey and Keisha and they were excited. Keisha been wanting to fight the girl since she got back, saying the girl had been talking shit behind her back at school. We decided to take the bitch out after school. Keisha has to inadvertently drive her to the mall.

And by that, I mean she had to stalk her to make the girl go to the mall to get away from her. That's where Kacey comes around and drives her to the bathroom. Then I come down the escalator and we corner her in the restroom. We took our turns torturing the girl before killing her. I read her final thoughts before I realized she was also a scapegoat for Abby. "This bitch is clever." I said. "She is. How'd she know?" Keisha asked. "Abby was always quick to think ahead of plans. That's how she managed to cheat on Justin for the fifth month of them dating." Kacey said. The mention of his name made me yearn for him. "Don't worry Angel. As soon as we nail the person telling on you, you can talk to him." Keisha said. "And we better hurry." Kacey said. "Why?" I asked. "I had a vision this morning. Bishop has given him a task for him to chase Grey in Paris. He leaves on Friday." She said.

"Damn it. We need to up our game." I said. Keisha used her powers and made the body disappear. We ran out the bathroom and took the parking lot. Just then, my phone pinged. It was a text from Abby. I called her and put her on speaker. "Hey Angel, What kind of stripper shoes do you wear? I'm curious. Or should I ask my person to follow you to see? Oh wait. I can't cause she's dead now." Abby said, then she hung up. "This bitch is quick." I said. "I know it's annoying." Kacey said. "But Kacey, your a psychic. How come you can't see in the future whenever you want?" Keisha asked. "I can but when I do too much, it's not much help." She said. "Well can you try to see where she's at and how she's getting information on me?" I asked. She nodded then closed her eyes. She opened them to reveal a milky white color. "Wait Angel, your part psychic. Can't you do it too?" Keisha asked. "Oh yeah. Our connection would be stronger then." Kacey said. She grabbed my hand and we went behind the mall.

She held my hands a small closed her eyes. "Okay Angel. Now clear your mind of everything. Now picture Abby in your mind. It should show us somewhere where she's at." Kacey said. I did just that. Then I felt an energy surge go through my body. I saw Abby in what looks to be a hotel room. She laid in bed with her pregnant belly in a loose dress. She was on her phone, staring intently at something. It was like me and Kacey were there in person. "Can she see us Kacey? I mean we are in front of her." I said. She shook her head. "No. She can't see or hear us. We're psychics." She said. We walked over to her and seen what was on her phone. It was me and Kacey holding hands with our eyes closed. It was at an angle of someone high above us. Like at a sniper position. "Yo. Someone is watching us right now?!" I cried.

"It would explain how she gets the pictures and videos of you." Kacey said. "And it would explain how she knows our every move." I said. "This bitch is going down." She said. I swung at Abby but my hand went through her. "Angel we can't touch her either. We're not physically here. I can't teleport but you can." Kacey said. "Good to know." I said. "But wait, don't teleport. Who knows what she's got up her sleeve if she knows we know where she is and how she is able to be ahead of us." Kacey said. "Ughh you right. So what now?" I asked. "Now we don't do anything." She said. "What? Kacey She-" she cut me off. "We do nothing Angel. No movement means she can't do anything bad. I have an idea. It's risky but it could work. Right now, we lay low. Til I have everything in place, we do nothing." She said. I stared at her. "Tell me your plan." I said.

"I have an idea to ask my grandma's friend, whose a witch, to make a copy of you. That Angel will do everything as normal as possible, the when she least expects it, we take her out. But it's gonna be hard. We have to make this Angel an exact copy of you. She has to learn what you do and how you do it." She said. "Won't Abby be suspicious if there's two me's?" I asked. "I know. That's why I said we lay low til I figure it out." She said. I smiled and hugged her. "I love you so much." I said. She giggled. "Okay let's go." Shes getting suspicious as to why we're holding hands for so long. How bout we kiss to throw her off?" I asked, excitedly. She stared at me. "Okay." She said. We then came to our physical selves. "Okay so what happened?" Keisha asked. "We'll tell you later." I said. I then kissed Kacey as she kissed me. We stopped and looked at Keisha who was staring at us.

"Come on let's go for a swim." I said, heading towards the car. The three of us walked but Keisha wanted to know what was up. I drove to the beach and the three of us dove in. They both took a deep breath and cling to me. I then took off in the water, speeding through it like it was part of me. I then stopped to let the girls get a breath of air. They did then went back under. I swam again til we were at Tasha's and Celia's pod. "Okay Keisha, we have an idea." I said. Kacey then explained it to her. "Wow. Really? Can we really do that?" She asked. "Only one way to find out. But right now, we lay low til everything is in place." Kacey said. "Got it. But I'm ready to take this bitch out now." She said. "I know Keisha but let's wait til everything is in order." I said. She nodded. "So Angel what are you gonna do with Justin when you tell him that you faked your breakup?" She asked.

"I don't even know man. I'm hoping he didn't take things too seriously." I said. "Oh he did. He's been a depressed boy since." Kacey said. "Really?" I asked. She nodded. "Mike told he hasn't been coming out to his after school clubs. He just goes home and stay locked in his room. He told me he broke all his pictures of y'all two." She said. I was heartbroken. "I only did it so Abby wouldn't hurt anyone else. If it wasn't for her, I would never break up with Justin. I love him to death." I cried. "We know girl but you gotta say something before he leave Friday." Keisha said. "What am I going to say? 'Hey Justin I faked my breakup with you so Abby would leave me alone but it's cool now. Hope you didn't take it too personal'?" I said. "Angel just tell him soon. Cause Mike told me that he is considering it." Kacey said. I groaned. "I hate my life." I said.

We dove back underwater and swam back to shore. We dried off, got in the car, and drove to my house. We walked in to see Tasha and Otis sitting on the couch watching SpongeBob. He told her she was his mate when she came home from the hospital. She was freaked out at first but came around. Otis has been very protective over her. It was scary. I now understand how Justin felt. The thought of his name had me thinking about what I was gonna say to him. I had to think hard. Was it worth to have Abby know I talked to him or should I let him go? I was at a dilemma with myself. We went upstairs to my room and laid down on the bed. I quickly sat up and ran to the bathroom. "Angel you good?" Keisha asked. I didn't respond. I opened the toilet and threw up. "Ugh." I groaned.

"Angel what you eat today?" Kacey asked. "Some eggs, a salad, a burger, some Takis, and a nutty bar." I said. "Girl that's a lot of food. I thought you were watching to figure?" Keisha asked. "I am. But now that I said it out loud, that's a bad food combination." I said, walking to my bed. I laid down and my my body over Kacey's. She didn't mind as she was on her phone. She was playing Candy Crush. I turned on the TV and flipped through the channels til I landed on Bad Girls Club. Keisha fell asleep, then Kacey while I was awake. I couldn't rest. I had two days to figure out what I was gonna say to Justin to make him stay and how to keep Abby off my trail. I got off Kacey and moved her to the top of my bed. I texted her parents that she'll be staying the night. Her mom said okay. I did the same with Keisha. They also said okay.

After a while, I went downstairs and seen Otis kissing Tasha. "Whoa." I said, out loud. They stopped and looked at me. "Oh Angel. Hi." Tasha said, breathlessly. She then started crying. Otis just stood there, turning pale. "Angel please don't tell my Mom." He cried. "Okay. Otis, I'll take you home. You Tasha, wait here." I said, as I grabbed Otis's hand. I grabbed my keys and took him outside. I put him in my car and drove to his house. I didn't say anything but his heart raced as I drove. "Angel please don't tell my Mom. I'll be in so much trouble." He cried. "Otis I won't tell as long as you never do that again until your older. Your young. You shouldn't be doing something like that." I said. "I'm sorry. She just looks so beautiful. I couldn't help myself." He said. "Otis that's not good." I said. Then I sighed. "Listen, Otis." I said but I no clue how to tell him how wrong he was.

"My Mom and Dad do it. You and Justin used it do it." He said. "We're older. We know what we're doing. Look Otis, it's okay to kiss but in the lisp is not okay for a kid of your age. Kissing can lead to something else real quick." I said. "Like what?" He asked, curiously. I sped up a little bit. "Don't worry about that honey. Look, just don't do it again. I'm being nice right now. Cause your so sweet and cute, I'm not gonna tell on you. But don't do that again." I said. "Okay I won't." He said. I could hear the sadness in his voice. "Your lucky it was me and not my Dad. He'd lay into you and won't hold back." I said. He didn't say anything. I glanced at him in the rearview mirror. He was looking out the window. He had a tear stream down his face. "Otis I'm not mad at you or anything sweetie. It just caught me off guard. It's okay to kiss someone you love but at your age, it shouldn't be happening." I said.

"I know and I'm sorry. Just please don't punish Tasha for it. I was the one who said we should do it. She didn't want to cause she knew she'd get in trouble." He said. Good. She knows not to do it. "Okay. I won't get her in trouble but you need to talk to Justin about this. Ask him about this mate thing and he'll explain it to you. Please." I said. "Okay. But why did you break up with him? What he do?" He asked. I didn't say anything. "Otis, please don't ask me that. I don't even have an answer myself." I said, honestly. I really didn't know why I did it to keep Abby at bay when I should just get back together with Justin. "I'm sorry Angel I'm just curious. He's been really upset since you broke up with him. He won't talk to me or Alison, or Mom or Dad. He's becoming distant from us. I don't want to wake up and find that he'd kill led himself because of it." He said.

I glanced at him. "How do you know about that stuff Otis?" I asked. "I may be young but I know some adult stuff for my age. People kill themselves because of depression. I don't want to find Justin dead because of a breakup. He loved you ya know. He still does." He said. I felt a lump in my throat. "I know." I said. I took a deep breath and said, "I still care about him. But I'm going through something right now." I said. "Angel, whatever it is, can you at least tell him that it wasn't his fault? I really love my brother and don't want to see him dead." He said. Neither do I. "Otis....just tell Justin to keep his head up." I said. It was silent before he spoke. "Okay." He said. I pulled up the house to see another car there. "Whose car is that?" I asked. "Probably another girl. He's had a bunch come in and leave his room. But I know he's only doing it to get over you. But I know he won't." He said, as he undid his seatbelt.

He got out and walked up to the house. The door opened to reveal Justin shirtless and in black pants. He looked at Otis, said something the looked up at my car. I quickly reversed and drove off. Soon Angel. Just wait. Do what Kacey said and wait. I dove home and talked to Tasha about kissing. I explained to her what someone her age she shouldn't be doing. She understood and went to bed. I did the same. I laid the bed of the bed so Keisha and Kacey could sleep. I heard my phone ping but I was too tired to see it.
