Hurried back to her office, where the entire family member where gathered. Just after the closing bell.
"Melody what are you doing here?".
"Anita has the book".
"What… how did you know".
"She's a spirit. She's very dangerous and way to clever. She knows everything. She can read your mind. She knows exactly what you are think. She watches you every move. I remember when fegrance was in me, there was this constant look she keeps giving us. Just be warn, I have to go". She scurried out of the office
"Thank…".
"Not clever melody… not clever". Disappeared from the office.
Appeared in the bathroom, steps out. Walking up to her friends. Bumped into melody.
"Ouch!".
"Careful… where". Looking at the direction, which she came from
"Sorry!". She walked away. Anita smile
"Not clever melody".
"Oh my god… I can't believe this… Anita".
"You suspected her".
"But!".
"That should not be the problem now. We should be worried about how to get the books from her". Elena added
"Mother is right". Stella said
Rushed into her room, shut the door.
"Hey Anita!".
"Yes!". Staring at the mirror
"How are you?".
"Not fine… melody told the principal that am anonymous… am confused right now".
"Why would… what do you want to do now".
"I don't know".
"Just sleep over it, am sure you would figure it out". Pricilla added
"Okay!".
"Up for ice-cream".
"Sure!".
Next morning…walking downstairs
"Bye Anita". Her friends said
"Whatever! So, no one is going to follow me".
"No…".
"Okay, bye!".
…walking out of the house slowly, rolling her eyeballs.
Walking on the road, four sights. Pull her out of the way
"Jesus!". Lady screams as a truck drive pass with full speed. Anita walked away after the save. Looking at her like some God sent, touching herself.
Arrived at school. Pause as she steps foot in the building, looking around. She walked in, dung before they hit her, almost like she knew that they were coming. Looking at her as she walks away. Throw the ball over her head, dung before it got to her. Catch, looking at each other weirdly.
Entered her class room, weird look from everyone. The principal was present. Slowly shut the door, moving further. Looking at everyone suspiciously, but aware of the present happenings.
"Good morning, everyone". She hesitates.
"Morning Anita". Hesitated back
"Where are you friends?". Justin asked
"They… all have issues".
Looking at Mena's mouth. Wanting to utter word, but don't know how to.
"Wanna say something?". Anita asked staring at her
"Yes! I have a question to ask I know you too the books".
"That doesn't sound like a question".
"Anita, you have no idea what you are doing? You have to return those books".
"What books… are you talking about?".
"Don't you dare lie to me… you and only you have the books". Mena said. Anita whimpers, scoff.
"I… I don't have the books. But everyone feels like I do, because I was the close to it. Tell me one thing, why do you feel like I have the books".
"Melody confirmed it to me".
"And how the melody knows I have the books".
"Because of your attitude".
"People change. And now you have a problem with me changing, why? I agree I was the closest to those book…. To the fake books. Which means…. Even if I had collected those books, it would have been fake. Because tegrance appeared before I could walk in. And they got the fake book. Nice try principal. But am not anonymous. Try asking melody, that would be a nice way to divert your attention from her". She added. Looking at their speechless state.
"Good job Anita! Good job. Now let's see who finds anonymous first. Thank you so much Pricilla… your plan worked". Dropped her bag down
"What are you going to do now?". Whispered
"I don't know. Fegrance always kills her prey, after using them. She let melody go just like that. What if they double cross us. What if the fake book was all planned. What if she did it just to divert our attention away from her". Mena added.
Just as they continued their conversation. Tunnel appeared in front of the door. Looking at it, confused for a moment, not aware of what it was.
"What's this mom?". Boys asked
"Call from time travel". She said
Intense moments, as they studiously stare at the bright tunnel
"It wants you to go through it".
"No… not now. There is something that it wants me to see". Mena added
Speaking to one another…. "It's gone". Jarad added
"I'll be in my office". She walked away
"Whatever they want you to see, I must see it first". Anita said within
Gathered at her office, strategies, on how to get the books back from fegrance 'anonymous'.
Watching from behind, not seen.
"We are all going. We need to see what's up for us".
"All of us". Stella asked
"Yes!".
Appeared in a hurry, walking out of the school.
Back home, shut her door in excitement. Scream within
"Your plan worked". Anita said with so much excitement
"Really".
"Mm". she nodded
Zyron appeared… "Great job". She smirked
"What is time travel?". Anita asked
"Why do you ask?".
"Cause I need to know the place am going to next".
"No one is going to time travel".
"Okay". She said sarcastically
"Yeah, zyron is right… now that they think that it's melody, I don't think you should get your hands dirty, it's of no use". Pricilla added
"Whatever! I thought you said you would be gone for some days or weeks".
"Yes! More reason why you should stay hiding". She added as she disappeared
"Okay Anita am going to my room".
"Sure".
Pricilla left the room. Anita shut the door quickly. Looking around. Incantations, the walls opened up. Collected the book of zyron, wall sealed back. Look at it for a while. Dropped it on her bed.
Flipped pages, stopped at a certain one, read the word out loud. Rise up from the ground, her clone. Full smile. She drops the book back. Walked back to her creation. Amazed
"Anita".
"Anita". Replica repeat
"Great!". She said walked away.
Took time to look around, and adopt to her new environment. Anita walked back in, wearing a blue hoodie dress, covering her face
"You're off to?".
"Time travel". She said and disappeared
"Ahhh". Sigh, sat down resplendently on the bed
"What do I do now… act like me". she said smiling. Got up to arrange the room and change into something nice.
Walking down stairs
"There you are… we are hungry".
"Foodies". She said. They all laughed
Later that day. They all retired to bed. Anita outside, star gazing when zyron appeared
"Why ain't you are sleep".
"The weather is changing slowly. It's taking it's time". She said looking at zyron
"It's the 7th time, 7hour, 7day. You need to go to bed". She disappeared
"I immediately don't like her. She's too secretive, maybe that's why Anita didn't listen". Sigh
Next morning set for school
"Nice looks Anita".
"She looks like a witch". Saucy added
"Don't be silly".
"The eyeliner is too much… too dark. You look like the devil's queen".
"Don't mind her".
"The both of you should stop arguing… I would take it off".
"Seriously… saucy doesn't have good taste".
"And you do… can we go please". She yells, sized Meyan with her eyes and walked away.
"How do I look?".
"Pale!". She added and walked away
"You're ready".
"Yeah! What happened to you, you look pale". Pricilla asked. speechless
Sitted calmly in their class room. Delancey walked
"The principal want's us now".
"Okay we would be there".
"Am not talking to you guys".
"We are coming either way".
"Whatever". She left
Walking to her office, behind the boys
"Where did it go?".
"It's in front of it". Passed through the walls
"Where did they go? Juliana asked
"They are in my nose". Saucy scolds.
Walked in at once
"What are they doing here". Mena asked
"They are many". Mariana added
"Welcome to the coven". Nina added looking around
"All of you please shut up". Saucy added moving further.
"Why are you guess here?".
"We came to see you off. She said you want to see us".
"That's not what I said".
"Oh really!".
"Their brains are not well furnished".
"I thought you use your ear to hear".
"It's part of your sense organ and they are not functioning properly".
"Yours too, because you can't pass the right message… hush". She added
"It's fine, it's fine".
"What is this place? Have never seen this people before". Juliana exclaims
"Exactly! It's a coven".
"Can you both shut up". Saucy snaps at them.
Set to go, saying Fewell afterwards they tried teleporting, but couldn't
"I thought they said goodbye… why are they still here?". Juliana whispered to Mariana
Staring at their confused state. Could see time travel already
"Who the hell?". Havana said
"Anonymous… is a kid". Mena said
Moving around, constantly looking, could only see her hair. This very moment. Pricilla grew cold feet.
"How is Anita there and here?". She asked herself looking at Anita. Melody caught her gaze. Gave it a quick thought, then came to a conclusion that it's either Anita or Pricilla or they both know who anonymous is.
"Why is she not letting us through?". They asked their selves. Till they couldn't see her anymore
"Great!". Mena's frustrated.
"What do we do now?".
"What! nothing!".
"Mena you can't say that". She added sat next to her.
Fuming seriously from behind
"How dare her? Disobey me". Zyron said in furry. She disappeared
Back to their classroom. Everyone sitting quietly, wondering. Zyron appeared, standing by the door. A clenched jaw, intense eye contact, furrowed brows.
"Ah guys! What is this lady doing here?". Naso whispered. All looked at her. Traced her gaze to Anita
"What!".
"She looks angry. And she's looking at you". They said
Moving further
"Guys… our naughty classmates are staring". Quick smile
"Who are you guys talking to?".
"Ourselves". Mariana added
"What the hell". Saucy said. Zyron sniffs them one by one. When she got to Anita she stops and disappeared.
Retired back home. Rain falling heavily
"Goodnight!". Pricilla yells
Lights out.
Anita walked to her room closed her window. Before going to bed she went to the bathroom. Zyron appears.
"Privacy!".
"Where is Anita?".
"She's right here".
"Don't you dare lie to me… where is she".
"Time travel". She said. Zyron disappeared
"Weird lady".
Weekends. Sitted at the garden relaxing. Enjoying leisure hours. Zyron appeared.
"What the hell do you want?". Nina asked
"I commend Pricilla, maybe melody. The rest of you are bunch of trash". She said. Mr. Dunne walked in.
"Don't say that about my girls. They are amazing people".
"Coming from a man that was scared of losing his family".
"Whatever!".
"Pricilla! Where is Anita". She asked. Pricilla gulps hard not knowing what to say
"What kind of question is that, she's right here?".
"You hesitated. You're sure".
"Ye…yes". She stammered.
Moving further. Looked at Anita.
"Where is Anita?".
"Am right here. Am sorry, she's on her way back from time travel". She added
"What are you talking about? if Anita isn't you, then who are you?".
"A clone".
"What! you… fake".
"Why did Anita clone herself. And why does she have the books the principal is looking for?".
"Now that you know, keep your mouth shut". She added and disappeared. Looking at each other speechless
