Chapter 11: their little trip

They all went to Sierra Leone with the help of Faith, Starr's Mom friend.

It was not easy to get to the camp, there were many obstacles in the way.

Now what? Starr asked. Emma look up where the cave of rem is, said Jessica. Near the old town, Emma replied immediately. Jessica told pearl to take them there.

Pearl took them to the old town, it was very dark and stormy, the weather was pretty bad. Mia you're next, Jessica said and Mia started controlling the weather until it was stable, 'this is so much fun', she said.

Starr turned and asked her what's next. I don't know, she replied. Mia looked at her weirdly, stop playing with us, what do you mean by I don't know. What the f*** we have come a long way, said Emma.

I've told you all I know, I think Starr will take it from here, Jessica said. Starr? Pearl asked. Shh, Starr looked around trying to remember where she has seen this place, I saw somewhere like this in my dream of Jeff and me, said Starr.

They all looked at her surprised. Mia gaze hardened, 'Jeff and you? And you didn't tell me or any of us. I'm afraid there is n time for a question and answer game, we gotta move, said Emma.

The wind blew heavily as they advanced further and the weather started turning bad, darkness and fog covered everywhere. Pearl shouted, STARR! STARR! It's coming.

I swear I didn't do anything, Starr said. Heck yeah you did, Jessica replied. The darkness swallowed all their faces and a strong wind took them to an unknown place.

Where are we, I'm deaddd... please let's go back.. I don't wanna die.. this is wrong, Pearl blurted. Jessica slapped pearl across the face, ' I think we are in the cave dummy, she said while looking around. You didn't have to slap me tho, ohh yes I did, replied Jessica.

It looks so strange, so how do we get in? Anybody? Mia asked. Emma said she have an idea, she said in the past that they was a writing on the wall which is meant to be chanted by a special person and they all turned and looked at Starr.

What? Eyes off... I don't even know the chant, replied Starr. She moved closer and weirdly she started chanting it but nothing seemed to be happening, after some time there was a huge sound, the cave shook.

Starr was not feeling too good, a flash of her memory appeared right before her eyes and she stumbled but quickly held the cave's wall for support. A lone tear dropped from her eyes and her blood graced the writing which was on the wall of the cave and it opened.

They were welcomed by two ladies who looked their age. Starr smiles at the familiar figure forgetting what had just happened. Pricillia and Grace what are you doing here, she asked. This is Faith's step daughters, the woman who helped us get here, she introduced.

Grace started talking, ' we already know that they would come for you and we tried to pass the message on to your mom but it was too late they had already taken them. How did you guy know, Jessica asked

You won't understand Jessica, Grace replied. She shouted loudly, 'THEN MAKE ME'. I'm sorry that this is how we treated you on your first day, Pricillia said. They all looked furious, ' what the f*** is going on, do you know what we went through to f***ing get here, said pearl.

I'm sorry for the trouble and the stress, come and we will tell you what to do, Grace said gesturing for them to move in. Mia nodded, let's just go guys for Starr's parent. Please guys, Emma added.

They all went in

It was a sight to see. All of them were given a warm welcome. The place was vast and filled with flowers. They even saw Steve and Theresa. Starr ran to them as she called them, MOM! DAD!! What are you doing here.. how did you? She asked.

Theresa replied, 'we were saved by Grace and pricillia'. Did they really kidnap you or was this all an act? Asked Emma. Uhm actually we were attacked but never taken they saved us before we got taken and Jessica great job holding the team.

Your team work was perfect and all of you played a very important role. Wa this a test or what, pearl asked. You are safe now right? Now come on let's go home,Starr said.

Be ready something unexpected will happen, be prepared a big thing is coming, Grace and pricillia said together. Big thing? I'm already getting scared Jessica said. 'Don't tell me that you both are seers' but Jessica is the seer here', pearl said.

Steve finally spoke,' all will be explained when we get home and hunny we can't go home now it's dangerous, tomorrow we'll head home.

Why? Infuriated

That would be too late mom, Kylie is all alone at home. Don't worry all will be fine, leave the explanation for later and go and rest while we prepare for the visa, replied Theresa.

I'm already missing..... jack? Pearl cuts in and Mia replied 'NO home'. Let's go guys at least we know that we were played with

Grace led them to their room

As they where out of sight Theresa fell and began sobbing, Steve carried her up and wiped her tears. Put yourself together, we have to be strong, said Steve.
