AWAKENED

Sleeping hours. Lied comfortable on the bed, eyes closed. Eyes open, used her hands to sit upright on the bed, scratched her eyes for better view. Saw three weird looking personality standing right in front of her.

"What are you doing in my room?".

"You stole the books….". they said continually

"I didn't steal anything". She retaliates. Continued screaming at the top of her voice.

Saying it out in the open. They rushed to her room, turn the lights on. Saw Anita struggling on the bed. Tapped her quickly. She woke up at once, breathing heavily. Cupped her face, telling her to calm down and breathe easy.

"Who is in your room?".

"What!". She was surprised that it was her friends. She looked around, no funny looking people

"It's… it's just a dream". She stutters

"But!".

"Uhm! It a dream, Saucy. So, we don't need to know". Meyan said, pulling saucy back

"Okay fine I get it. Just take care, and don't think about it okay".

They left the room, switch off the lights. Lied down slowly, staring at the ceiling. They appeared right on the ceiling, floating. Got up in shock. Realizing it wasn't a dream, more like a trance. Any where she turns her gaze to, they are there. She screams within and they stopped coming. Got up from her bed.

"Zyron! zyron!!". she whispered

"What is it?".

"You did not tell me that demons would come after me. I thought am supposed to be anonymous".

"Call from time travel. They know everything, they won't spill".

"They also know you".

"No, they don't communicate with the dead. Now you understand what I mean, when I said you are weak. More to come… keep yourself together". She disappeared

Short of words. Entered her bed and shut her eyes

Sitting in dinning, set to have breakfast and leave. Staring at Anita, put her head down, staring and playing with her food.

"Something is definitely up". Pricilla said within looking at her food

"Anita are you okay?". Mariana asked

"Yeah, am fine… am just". Started eating really fast.

"Weird!".

Lottering around school premises. Passed Delancey, appeared right in front of her. Moving closer from each end. Fidget a bit, just looked away.

Observed for a bit.

"I know this". Said with hurried to class

Hit the desk so hard

"Where can I find a perfect artist… that is so good". She said

…Swiping her hands up down on her phone screen

"Am looking at Saucy's page, she's pretty good". Sonia said

Delancey rushed out.

"That's weird".

"Ma'am you can't…".

"Let me through". Trying to force her way in

"What's going on here". Juliana came outside

"Let her in". she instructed

"Where is Saucy?".

"What do you need Saucy for".

"I owe you no answer". Entered the inner room

"Hello boys! Saucy, there you are. I need your help".

"Okay! How can I help you".

"I need you to draw what I describe and I want it to look 100% real".

"Okay! How much are we talking about here".

"Why do you like money so much".

"We could do a quick swap. And then you would know why I love money. Back to you".

"Walk with me". Delancey said

Down the hallway

"I would pay you $500, is that good?".

"I would think about it. Record yourself and send to me. And oh! how soon".

"Very soon".

"Then it would be $800".

"Fine!".

"And I need cash".

"Done".

Walked into the classroom, wondering. Actually, today has been weird. Been seeing same personalities. Standing right in front of my gaze. Lunch breaks, everyone is out, but Saucy is very busy, sketching.

Walked up to her. Puzzed look😳 when she saw what Saucy was drawing.

"Oh my god…who…". Quick reminisce

Passed Delancey, then looking around, they appeared moving closer. FB end

"Shit". She said within. Sat next to Saucy, touched her arms to get her attention.

"Anita, give me five… am almost done". She said. Replay the tape Delancey made for clear hearing. Anita got up. So curious and worried. Started moving to and fro repeatedly till Saucy was done.

"You were saying?". Turn around. Hurried to her

"What are you drawing".

"I don't know myself…. But I got paid $800". Show Anita her purse

"Oh! Who paid you?". Anita asked so curious. The rest of her classmate walked in

"Oh my world! Saucy what is this". Pricilla dragged the art

"Fund of dragging thing huh". Saucy scolds

"Cool". Complimented on her work. Delancey walked in

"Is it done?".

"Yeah, please give it to her".

"This belongs to you".

"But why do you want it".

"Because I paid for it". Delancey said, collected the art from Justin. Looked at him then smile. Finds that weird

"Do you recognize this?". She smirked

"No, I… oh my I do". Full smile. She walked away

"We have to follow her". He added and they left the class-room

"Where are they going to?". Pricilla asked

"Go and ask them". Saucy added

Sat down, doing different things. Notice Anita's restlessness, tapping her feet on the grounds. Rubbing her hands together.

"Is she okay?". Pricilla said within

Gets up suddenly, walked away

"Where is Anita going to?". Meyan asked

"When you see her, ask her". Saucy said rudely

"Am pressed… I need to…".

"You can go". Shu her off

Behind closed doors….

"Those stupid things came and Delancey saw them… what are we going to do?".

"We… you mean you! what are you going to do?".

"Skip that! She made Saucy draw them. And you know how good Saucy is. She didn't even make one mistake. She's taking it to the principal".

"Find a way to get in there. You can control them, it's in you, just look at them". Zyron disappeared

"Wha… shit". Looked around if anyone was watching before she stepped out

Behind the door

"Anita and zyron, stole those books". Unveil herself
