Chapter 3

Emma and Jenny are sitting with the rest of the students waiting for their math teacher for their joint-math class. Jenny settles for the desk as she continues to argue with a group of students about Davido and Chioma's breakup.

"They are still together.... I follow them like religion so I'm sure of it", a girl argues.

"They are no longer together, all the blogs have carry the news. They're not going out together again", Jenny says.

"Psst, psst", Emma sends.

"Ah, ah, I can hear you".

"Sorry, I got a lil nervous. Seun just walked in with Mark".

Jenny froze as she tries to compile her thoughts, she spun too quickly and she falls off the desk. Her knee scrapes the desk and produces a minor cut. She sighs and blows on the injury as blood begins to pour from it. She blows on it until the blood stops dripping and the wound closes up, she opens her slightly shut eyes and thanks her stars for her powers. When she stands up, Emma is by her side and most eyes are on her.

"I'm ok", she says, out loud and everyone continues with what they were doing before.

"Where's the injury?", Emma checks her for cuts or scrapes.

"I blew it off", she winks at Emma, Emma nods.

"What's he doing here?", a nervous Jenny asks.

"It's joint-math. He has to be here so does every other science or art student".

The math teacher, Mr Lawrence walks in and everyone takes their seat. Jenny sleeps through the entire math class, she wakes when the bell chimes.

"Great! Training time", Emma whispers to Jenny.

"Urghhh", Jenny grunts as Emma draws her to an enclosed and forgotten part in the school building.

They've being trying to control their emotions and bend it to their will. They both sit on the mat they had spread on the floor with their legs crossed, they close their eyes and begin to meditate.
They dive deep into their mind to search, to gain control when they finally feel like they have found it, they take in a deep breath and let it out.

Jenny thinks, she dives into her mind and remembers, the way she hurt Seun, the pain in Emma's and Mark's eyes, the fear written on every line of the driver's face, She roars and punches the air as large tongues of fire, shoots out of her palm. It lights up the already bright sky and burns in the air. When the fire extinguishes, she reaches her both hands forward with the right hand stretched out further than the left and many pebbles floats up like a fallen wall. She moves her towards different directions and the pebbles shoots towards many direction.

Emma raises her right hand, the pebbles coming towards her stops and falls to the ground. She continues to maintain her peaceful aura as she searches her mind for peaceful and relaxing thoughts. She remembers the first time she met Jenny, their Othuaba, she smiles in her mind. Then suddenly Mark appears in her mind, she shakes her lead to lose the face and continues combing her mind. She stops and stares at the green grasses beside them, she stares long and hard, deep and deeper. Suddenly the grasses begins to dry up as every bit of water in them, their roots, the soil, begins to escape forming a cloud above Emma. She smiles weakly at the cloud of water and whispers to it, the cloud burst and rains on Emma, Jenny and the plants. The plants begin to turn green, regaining its lush look, it even grows taller.
Jenny smiles at Emma and gives her a thumbs up.

"You?", they hear voices behind them and turns.

Wayne's POV



BEING AN ANDROID HAS IT'S PERKS AND LIKES. LIKE I CAN STILL HEAR THE GIRL'S CONVERSATION SO IT'S A DISADVANTAGE, RUBY LIKES ADAMS!!!! I FEEL LIKE SOMEONE CRASHED MY SYSTEM.

"You like Adams? ", Diamond asks.

"No", Ruby replies.

"But you just said you like Adams", a confused Diamond says.

"Are you sure? Cause I remember saying I think your brother is cute", Ruby makes air quotations.

"No, you said you like A... ooh", Diamond nods. "So you think he's cute? ". Ruby nods.

"What would you say if I told you he likes you", Diamond rushes out.

"I'll say I know cause I can see the way he stares at me".

"Seriously! So you'll date him? ".

"I didn't say that", Ruby tries to correct Diamond's conclusion.

I couldn't wait any longer, I left the guys without saying a word and ran into the cafeteria then I reduced my pace when I got the girl's table.

"Ruby, I really, really like you and I want us to hang out sometime... without unwanted sisters", I spill out.

"Hey, I just helped you out here", Diamond hits my arm playfully as Ruby giggles.

EVEN HER LAUGHTER IS ADORABLE.

"Yes, I'll love to hangout", Ruby finally replies.

"Yes, she loves me, she loves me, she loves me everyone, she love me", I shout.
Every person begins to clap even the lunch lady, some whistled while some laughed.

"Hey! I didn't say I love you", Ruby pinches me. "Stop it", she whines.

"Please, stop my Barbie doesn't like all the attention", I say and the claps minimizes before it ends abruptly.

"Is it better now", I coo and she nods whilst biting her lower lip.
The bell chimes and we leave for our various classes.

After school, Diamond invites Ruby over to help with a YouTube video. When we got home, I went to my room to change while the both girls went to Diamond's room.

"Wayneee!!!". I hear my name.

I rush to Diamond's room only to find Diamond panicking and Ruby was sneezing continuously, her face is all puffy, her nose is running and her cheeks are red. She's seating on Diamond's bed clutching her legs, trying to stop sneezing.
I stood still as I surfed the web searching for answers then I run to Ruby's side, I carry her outside and prop her on the wooden bench.

"Ruby, what's wrong?", I ask her.

"A.. aaaalleraagy".

"What?".

She heaves because of the pressure of trying to speak. "Aaaaallergy", she coughs out. "Dddust".
I quickly look up dust allergy on the web and I find a variety of drugs which will help to relieve her and we have them at home. I speed to the first aid kit, grab the drug and a cup of water. I rush to her side, open two tablets and feed it to her with the water, she makes a gagging sound.

GUESS SHE DOESN'T LIKE MEDICINE

After fifteen minutes she's better, her face is still puffy, her nose is still running but she's not sneezing, I hug her tightly so does Diamond who's feeling less scared, she had almost called an ambulance.

"Thank you so much", Ruby mutters as I lay her on the couch. Diamond calls a doctor who prescribes more drugs for Ruby and a day of rest then I get our dad to call her parents as soon as he arrives. He calls them and they let her stay over without even asking where she was or what happened.

"They agreed, right?", Ruby asks as soon as we step into the living room, we nod simultaneously. She grabs a pillow and covers her face.

"Ruby, are you feeling any better?", Diamond asks but we get a soft murmur as a reply.

Diamond drags the pillow but Ruby covers her face with both hands. She weeps softly into her palms as the tears pour on the floor, she tries to mop up her tears but they continue to fall, she stops trying, she just lies there with her teary eyes and head on the pillow.
There is no change in her facial features, no sad face or angry one either, her face is void of emotions, only her teary eyes tell of her sadness.

I DON'T NEED TO BE AN ANDROID TO KNOW SOMETHING IS GOING TERRIBLY WRONG IN HER LIFE.

This one is for you ashatoda
Thank you for reading and please invite more people to join the ride.





It's already the second week of resumption and all the second week starters had started arriving.
Jenny ran into the school with speed as it was almost assembly.
"What do you do at home? You're always late", Emma complains.
"I know, I know, I'm sorry", Jenny mutters.
"So whatsup?", Jenny asks. "We're almost late for assembly, that's what", Emma replies.
"M, it's 7:27, we have like, like around... You do the math", Jenny says.
"37 minutes".
"You see we have time to talk and walk to the assembly hall", Jenny says.

They walk down the hallway as they stare at the rich kids, they pass the hot chicks, the populars, the cute nerds and the not too cute ones, the shy ones with extremely rich parents and the list continues.

"Who knew a Nigerian school can be so cool! This is amazing like connection everywhere all we have to do is get some stinking rich kids to like us as friends, crushes, girlfriend, whatever and boom we making it in life", Jenny says, excitedly.

"That's not how it works...". "Umm... I make it work the way I want it to", Jenny cuts into Emma's statement.
Emma sighs and continues to stare at the colourful arrays of uniforms in the hallway.

"I'm gonna make use of this opportunity I've gat and you can continue to dull but this is Nigeria and life is hard, you can either be the manipulator or the manipulatee and I plan to be the manipulator. Shine your eye for everything", Jenny adjusts her bag as she looks at Emma. "Abeg, you're are too good girly. The rule that stands in my heart is get used or be used".

"Jenny, I've heard na which time I turn to good girl", Emma sighs. "See! No full my ear, I just dey tell you say someone can't help when you can't help yourself".

"Fish like you, I'm telling you about life you dey rap mouth", Jenny jokes.

"Na you follow me come Nigeria?", Emma asks with a smile.
They look at each other and burst into laughter, they continue walking until they get to assembly.

"We should really stop pidgin before this school expel us because of it", Emma sends.

"We are Nigerians, it's our second language", Jenny sends back.

They go into assembly and take their seat at the back row after the assembly processes finish, they go to the parking lot as Emma forgot her bag in the school bus. They walk without staring at the driveway ahead of them. They jump when they hear the close hunk of a car, their reflexes kick in as they both raise their right hand with their palm facing the car. The car rises swiftly into the air and gravtitates their until they bring it down.
The driver of the car steps out with the other occupants of the car.

"Are you okay? ", one of the boys with his hair gelled to the side asks.

"Yh except for the fact that you almost ran your car over our bodies", Jenny snaps.

"We're sorry", the boy replies.

"You know what you gon do for me? Take that sorry of yours and eat it up", Jenny answers.

"Jenny, that's too much na we sef we're wrong", Emma pleads.

"Take your friend to the zoo where she belongs", the other boy with perfectly groomed dread spits. "Let's go, Mark".

Jenny eyes flare up a dark shade of crimson red as she aims to attack the boy but Emma holds her tightly.

"Your powers, Jenny! Control it!", Emma screams in Jenny's head.

"But he deserves whatever he's gonna get", Jenny sends.

"Jenny! Do you want the entire world to think of us as freaks?", Emma sends back. Jenny considers Emma's wordings as her eyes begin to turn back to brown.

"I don't fight girls so get lost", the boy says, as he touches his glasses and turns to leave.
The statement annoys Jenny as the anger comes back to her in full forces, she wrings away from Emma's grip and rushes after the boy. She holds his shoulder, turns him swiftly and hits him with the most aggressive punch on his shoulder with her right hand as her tatoo glows. She hears Emma screaming but all that mattered was her revenge.

She stares into his eyes deeply, this makes his body float, she flicks her hand and he shoots towards the school bus and lands squarely on the side. She walks towards him with uncontrollably speed and stands before him. She raises her hand to the air and he floats to her.
"Don't ever speak to me that way", she says and drops him to the ground. She tuns and starts walking away when the mist of anger clears in her eyes.

She turns to see a speech less Emma, then the other boy, Mark was running to his friend's side and the driver was cowering in front of the car.

"What have I done?", she sends to Emma. "Ruined us", Emma sends back. Jenny breaks into uncontrollably tears as she falls to the ground.

A bright white mist creeps up on all of them and their Othuaba appear, this time as a nine year old girl. She waves her hand and a bright big gold circle of symbols appears and she touches some symbol on the circle and says in a whisper-like voice, "Now go to sleep". Everything went blank for everyone.

Jenny, Emma, Mark and the other boy wakes up in the same time the school sickbay. Jenny rushes to the boy, raises his shirt and checks him for any injury but none was found.

"Hey! Who are you?", the boy barks and pushes her hand away. She runs out like a maniac and Emma follows behind as they enter one of the cubicles in the ladies.

"Othuaba, I need to speak with you right now!", Jenny sends out.

"Jenny what are you doing? You can only do that with me", Emma says.

"I have a feeling that it can be summoned through a mental connection so please help me, you saw what happened right? You remember", Jenny rushes her words. "But they don't remember".
They hold hands and sends out many mental messages to their Othuaba then it's very familiar mist appears in between their held hands. This time it appears with it's natural form.

"What did you do?", Jenny questions it.

"I made everything right again, they might have forgotten but it'll continue to come to them as illusions. I took care of the driver also, cleaned up the scene , I cleared the boy's injuries and had to tap into your spiritual essence to wake him from death but you made a grave mistake by killing him and your time to pay will soon arrive", their Othuaba explains.

"I'm ready to pay", Jenny says, meekly.

"You are negative, she is positive", it points to Jenny then Emma. "Your powers are triggered by negative forces like anger, sadness and hers by positive forces like happiness and joy. You must both learn to control it".

"How are we supposed to do that without your help?", Emma speaks up.

"I am your guider not your teacher. You are your teacher", It comments. "Now you Emma, you saw your sister losing it and you kept cool, you have the power to help her, same for her. Depend on each other", It begins to fade. "Remember no you without her and vice versa", It disappears.

"I have to do something about that guy, all my heart will never be at ease", Jenny says in between tears to Emma.

"We'll figure something out", Emma hugs her and leads her out of the cubicle. "I think I need to tell you something", Emma says.

"What?".

"The boy you harmed is the governor's son, Seun Bankowale. and the other is his cousin, Mark Alade the minister of finance son".

"What have I done?!", Jenny whispers.

Diamond's POV



"It's a new feeling. I know, Dad programmed me to have all these feelings; happiness, sadness, hope, depression but loveeee... It's very new", Wayne discloses. WHOA, WHO KNEW BABY BOY HAS FEELINGS, I MEAN HE'S MY BROTHER BUT THE ONLY THING I SEE HIM DO IS SMILE.
"What are we gonna do? Your an Android, she's a human", I emphasize. "Correction, Diamond. I was made to function like a human so we are practically the same thing". "I'll believe that if you ran on a heart pumping blood to your body. Instead you run on a 10.10 advanced software". "Not helping, D", Wayne complains. "So... Your the human, what do I do? ". "Well if Dad programmed you with feelings then he knew you were bound to have a crush on someone....". "Not a crush, it's love", he cuts in. "You just met her, you haven't even said a word to her and you call it love. What do you think love is?". "My dictionary states it is am intense feeling of affection and care towards another person". "Wayne!!", I yell. "Yes, I believe you called my name". "Stop acting all androidy or you're never gonna get the girl". "So you think I should act more human? ", he asks and I nod.
We go into the cafeteria and take our seats. "Where did you two disappear to?", Ruby questions while the boys munch on their lunch. "Yo! We went to visit the restroom", Wayne replies. "So you visit the restroom together?", Ruby looks at us weirdly. "Don't mind him he confuses the principal's office with the restroom", I answer. I get out my phone and text Wayne. "Nobody makes that kinda mistake", Ruby says as Wayne's phone buzzes. He takes it out and checks the message.
ME: Stop saying Yo! No-one says Yo!
WAYNE: KK but studies recently shows that girls like rogues and boys who say Yo!
ME: Wayne!!!!!
WAYNE: Fine
"Wayne does, it kinda started when he was little so it stuck". "Awwn, that's cute", Ruby exclaims.
WAYNE: She think it's cute�
ME: Ikr so follow my lead
"Umm, I don't wanna hear aboout Wayne's childhood so I'm out", Tyler stands up. "Guys you coming?", he asks. The guys stand up but they don't leave, Tim clears his throat. "Wayne, you coming?",Adams asks.
ME: Wayne! Stop acting like a lovesick bird. Get outta here, I need to work on setting up a date between you two
WAYNE: Really?
ME: Yh so get lost
He hurriedly stands up and leaves with the guys. "Whatsup the continuous texting with your brother?", Ruby questions me. "Family issues", I lie. She nods, sympathetically. "So I noticed you had your eyes on someone all through our conversation with the guys". Is it that obvious", she giggles, nervously."Spill!". "I have a crush on Adams". "Oh no!", I mistakenly say out loud.

Jenny's POV




Next time I see that Othuaba or ghost or whatever, Imma make sure I give it a piece of mind. It gave us a weird piece of information and it's been out all week; no pop-ups to see how we're taking the news at least, all it does is say really weird things in our head, REALLY WEIRD THINGS. Like yesterday it said "THE WORLD ROTATES AROUND THE SUN BUT WILL IT STOP? ". What is that supposed to mean?!! And that weird moon design keeps forming into something, the moon is still there but it's making some bunch of spirals and floral patterns on our palms, it's like an invisible henna designer is working on it. "I think it stopped", Emma sends. "Yh". "It looks like henna...". "Black henna", I cut in. "But the moon is white like a silvery white shade", Emma continues.
"So what did your mom say about the design?", I ask out loud. "She says I should get it off", she replies. "Seriously?". She nods."I told her I can't get it off and she said it's just henna and it'll be easy to clean it off". "So what you gonna do?". "Plead, beg, puppy eyes, cry, anything as long as she stops insisting I clean it. I told her the school has no problem with it but she said she does and she's my mom so I have to listen to her". I nod as I listen but my mind is literally elsewhere, well it's on the design on my palm. "Wait, Emm! Look there's a kinda sceptre forming in the middle of the left palm ". "It's a wand", she corrects me. "Whatever, so what's it? ". "How I'm I supposed to know, I'm new to this too". She rubs the wand and her middle finger slides into her palm, it emanates a soft white light. "Ohmygod", she screams in shock. "Keep it down", I warn and drag her to the bathroom, in one of the cubicles. She tries to slide her finger in and it goes through so does her entire right palm, she brings it out with the wand in her hand. When she brings it out, it touches the moon design on her palm and her palm glows red. "Ouch", she drops the wand to the ground. The red glow on her palm dies showing the burnt mark around the moon. "Well, it doesn't hurt anymore", she bends and picks up the wand. It's made from a very distinct silver metal, it has a moon engraving were it burned her, it has other engravings too and a white stone perched right at the top.
"The engravings also match with the ones on our palms", Emma says. "Emma, the burns mark has disappeared", I point to her palm. "Yh", she turns her palm each and every way. "So... try it". I slide my fingers in and get out the wand, it also burns me and my burns also disappear. "So what happens now? ", Emma asks, rhetorically. "If only that Othuaba comes to explain things then we won't be cracking our brains, searching for answers", I angrily reply. Jenny swing her wand towards the toilet to test it out, her wand glows red and the WC sprays us with water. "Way to go, Emma. Our first lesson is how to dunk ourselves with cold toilet water",I say, sarcastically. "Sorry", she whispers.

Diamond enters Wayne's room, she goes to the silver coloured slate attached to the wall were Wayne is in sleep mode. She unplugs the cord from the back of his neck as the genetically engineered skin covers the cord space at the back of his neck, the cord slides into it's place in the wall. Wayne sits upright with his eyes still closed. "Powering up... Booting complete", his eyes open showing it's grey tint. "Good morning, Diamond", Wayne says before turning to look at Diamond. "Morning. You're driving so get ready and where's the maid?". "About that, I already cleaned the entire house yesterday except your room which you refused access into and I hired a cook instead". "Uh, that's were the fried eggs scent are coming from", Diamond says, ecstatically. "So what's gonna happen to my room? ", she whines, putting on a sad face. "I'm gonna pay the cook some extra cash to clean it. Are you happy now? ". She nods vigorously. "Ok, bye", she starts walking out the room. "There is no need for you to wake me any longer, Father installed a program yesterday that helps me wake anytime I want". "Quick question, when did all this happen?", a confused Diamond asks. "While you were sleeping on the pizza", Wayne chuckles. "Are you serious?! ". "Yh, had to carry you to your room or you can say drag", he taunts her. "Wayne!!!!!!!! No wonder my head hurts". She jumps on Wayne who is still on his bed and slaps him with a pillow, Wayne tries to protect his face with both hands before grabbing a pillow. He pushes her off playfully and hits her with his pillow, he uses this avenue to chase her until she runs out of his room. "You'll pay for this", Diamond yelps while banging on his door. "Yh, right", he replies from closed door.
They arrive at the school gate and gets direction to the Principal's office, they get there and knock. "Come in". As they enter the Principal gestures for them to seat. "I'm Diamond Black and he's Wayne Black. We'll like to get our schedules, I don't know why but your PA said we should come get it directly from you", Diamond explains. "Yes, Diamond Black. A pretty famous name, ever heard of Walking Diamond's Shoes?", the principal asks. "Yh, that's the name of my blog and YouTube channel. Wait, your Principal Maureen, right? ". "Ma'am, we just want our schedules", Wayne says. "Yes, Wayne. Wayne, Wayne, Wayne. You think you're like us, oh! Don't be dramatic, I know you", Principal Maureen pushes. She slides a folder towards them, they grab it and leave hurriedly. "Wow! That was weird", Diamond states. "I know. What does she mean by.... ", Wayne stops and clears his throat. "You think you're like us, oh! Don't be dramatic, I know you ", he says in Principal Maureen's shady voice. "I don't know and I don't care", Diamond walks away.
During lunch Diamond goes to the cafeteria after buying her lunch, she scans the room looking for were to seat then she notices a dark skinned girl with coily black hair waving at her. She walks over to the girl's empty table and sits. "Hey, I'm Ruby, Ruby Robbin", the girl introduces herself with a cheery smile. "Cool, we're are both gems", Diamond smiles. "I know you're are Diamond Black, Walking Diamond's Shoes. I love your blog, I'm an upcoming blogger myself", Ruby murmurs, shyly. "I know how it feels, we all have our ups and downs", Diamond says which makes Ruby smile. "Woah, who's the new boy?", Ruby says out loud. Diamond turns to see her brother standing with a group of three boys. "Those are the most coolest and richest guys in school, I'm not sure about the new boy is, he's kinda familiar". "I know, that's my brother, Wayne". "Wayne! ". "No wonder, he's familiar saw him in your YouTube videos", Ruby murmurs to herself. Wayne looks at Diamond and starts walking towards her table with his head hung low. Surprisingly, the boys stalk after him. "So... ?", Diamond demands when they are all seated. "Is this your bossy sis? She's kinda cute", one of the boys with black sleek hair and blue eyes asks Wayne. "Shut it uuurrrr". "Tyler", Ruby whispers. "And that's Adams and Tim", she nudges toward the brown eyed boy with brown hair and the hazel eyed boy with blonde hair respectively. "Are you done talking about our awesomeness, baby dolls? ", Tyler asks. "More like talking about your stupidity", Diamond rolls her eyes. "Ouch! That's gonna hurt", Tim comments while Adams laughs. "So why you not at your table?", Ruby asks them. "And why you with my brother? ", Diamond adds. "Diamond, I can take care of myself", Wayne says sternly. "He's our new pal and you girls are kinda cute", Adams adds. "And don't feel too important cause the coolest and cutest guys are sitting with you guys", Tyler smirks. "Way above your heads", Ruby and Diamond say the same time then they giggle and high five. Wayne twitches continuously , he's eyes sparkles and revolves round many colour. Luckily Diamond notices, she grabs his arm and draws him to the empty hallway, she wheels him around and taps at the hidden button in his neck. He reboots and he's eyes returns to normal. "Wayne! What happened?", Diamond panics. "Who's that girl sitting with you? ". "Ruby Robbin. Why you asking? ". "I think I like her", he replies without meeting Diamond's eyes. "What!!!!!".

Chapter 2
Emma's POV



I TRY TO CALM MY MIND AT THE THOUGHTS OF DYING. I'M REALLY SCARED AND JENNY IS KINDA IN A SORT OF TRANCE. WHAT DO I DO? I QUESTION MYSELF. I MAKE EYE CONTACT WITH JENNY UNTIL SHE FINALLY SNAPS OUT OF HER TRANCE AND LOOKS AT ME. THEN WE THINK, WHICH ALSO LEADS TO SOMETHING ELSE, SOMETHING DIFFERENT. A MENTAL CONNECTION. I CAN FEEL EVERY FEAR IN JENNY'S MIND, I CAN FEEL HER SAYING HER MANTRA IN HER HEAD, I CAN ALSO FEEL HER BRAINSTORMING IDEAS TO GET US OUT OF THIS, I CAN ALSO FEEL HER IN MY OWN HEAD.
SHE TURNS AND STARES AT ME WITH WIDE EYES. "Emma what's happening?!", she exclaims in my head. "I don't know", I send back. "Wait, he I mean IT did say we are connected". "So your gonna start believing everything the dickhead ghost says because of this", she sends. "Maybe, maybe we should just listen for a while". "Well, that's our only option", she surrenders.
"We'll listen", we both say as we sit on the white tiled ground. The black smoke begins to dissolve until it shifts into a woman in her late twenties, she's wearing a white sundress, black skinned, oval face with long thick dreads. She sits opposite us and clears her throat. "I am your Othuaba, right from birth. Othuaba means guider in the fifth realm, where I come from. You are sisters, separated at birth because of the intensity of your powers. About your mother, I'm sorry but she died as soon as you both escaped her womb, your magic fed on her so it killed her". She stops and waves her hand, a floating water appears. It shows a hospital room where a woman pushes with all her strength, she sweats profusely and is biting down a napkin in her mouth. She screams one last time as the babies in her womb comes out the same time covered by an ethereal purple glow then her breathing falls and she dies. A man's lamenting can be heard in the background then he rushes in screaming and crying. He looks at the babies in the crib, both girls lay side by side with there right palm touching. It looked like it was glued together. An old woman with a hunched back enters, she consoles the man and leads him to the crib. He carry's the babies and rocks them for a while before placing them in the hunched back woman's hand. He looks at the babies longingly then the dead woman on the bed, he sighs and lets the tears roll down continuously before he takes a step back, turns and leaves. I and Jenny sobs as the floating water vanish. "This is not true, you are lying to us", I murmur in between tears. "I told you listening to this thing was gonna turn out bad, now it did. It's lying about our different parents to our face, sisters huh? All lies to get us to do what it wants. I bet it wants us for lunch and watching us breakdown is it's first step", Jenny drapes an arm around me as she tries to stop her own tears from falling. "Check your palm, your right palm", it says and fades into nothing. The noise begins in the hallway.
I clean my tears as I and Jenny place our right palms, side by side. IT LETS OUT A PURPLE GLOW, THEN A HALF MOON STARTS APPEARING ON BOTH PALMS, IT HAS A WRITING IN IT. A SMALL SCRIBBLED WRITING: HALF OF A WHOLE
BIRTH FOR A TASK
CHILDREN OF THE GODS
THE GOLDEN BLOOD.
TOGETHER THE HALF MOON ON BOTH OUR PALM FORM A FULL MOON. WE STARE AT EACH OTHER FOR A LONG WHILE. "I guess it wasn't lying", Jenny sends. "Yup", I reply.
We clean ourselves up, turn the doorknob and step into the hallway.
I GUESS IT ALL BEGINS NOW. I GUESS WE NOW BELIEVE EVERYTHING THE DICKHEAD GHOST TELLS US.

This creation is my life work, an epitome of technology, an advancement of technology itself but right now this epitome is about to crumble to dust except I'm able to get it to safety.
"Dad, if we make it out of this alive, you owe me a month of free shopping", Diamond chirps. "Honey, I'll make sure I do that. I don't want to lose you like your mother", Mr Jimmy Black replies, shaking his head. "Way to go,Dad. We're in a pretty bad condition and your bringing up a more gloomy story.
Diamond's mom died six years ago got shot on one of their runs from the National Bureau Of Robot Systemization. Mr Jimmy Black created a robot seventeen years ago that looks, feels, acts and grows like a human. It was complete perfection that the major and greater inventors of NBORF were unable to attain even till date. That invention is Wayne Black, Diamond's older brother. I have calculated the gross loss we shall face because of me so I have conceive a plan", Wayne says in a kinda of robot but male tone. "Ok, spill it", Diamond says in a rush. "There's a town on my radar called Hemley Hills, it is not a small town, it's a pretty huge one but it offers the benefits of protection". "We don't need protection, we have you", Mr Jimmy interrupts. "Not that sort of protection, it offers protection to people with big names that just wanna chill without anyone else in the world knowing where they are". "Kinda sounds weird like won't the town's people snitch to the cops", Diamond replies. " Diamond the NBORF is looking for us not the cops, the NBORF is an underground company with only open successes so we stay in Hemley Hills until the tension dies and no snitching happens". "The tension wil only die if they find a way to create an exact prototype of you with enhanced strength for the military", Mr Black gushes. "Then we are giving them enough time to actually do that by freeing them from chasing us down". "So I can't use social media for fear of them seeing my update or anything", Diamond complains. "Like I said big names, Hemley Hills is pretty protective when it comes to their residents. They don't give out information on their residents to unknown people except checked by the resident and an unknown company like NBORF is mostly likely to be kicked out by the Welcome Hemley Site. So what do you think? ", he asks as his grey eyes glow with enthusiasm. "I guess we have our home. Wayne move all our money to three accounts available in Hemley Hills, buy a house and get us ready to meet with the Welcome Hemley Site", Mr Black relaxes a bit. "Scanning through the database of Hemley Hills, calling Barbara's moving trucks", he twitches as the ringing sound starts in his head. "Hello, this is Barbara's Moving Trucks. How can i help you?", a female voice says at the other end of the line. "This is Wayne Black. Do you remember I asked for my family's property and boxes be kept at one of your warehouses". Why yes! Mr Black, do you want it moved". "Yes, to Hemley Hills, Central street, Flat 108". "Ok, got that down, thanks for calling". With a slight nod of his head the call cuts abruptly. "Checking up and registering with the Welcome Hemley Site, Initializing... and we are in".
"OMG, this place is awesome. Your the best, Wayne, gotta go live stream it to my 2.5 million followers", Diamond's high pitched voice yelps from upstairs.
She finally comes down after her live stream and plucks herself on one of the dusty couch. "So how bout school?". "I chose Crowns High", Wayne reples as Diamond nods. "We start tomorrow so I hired a maid to clean up". "Sure, where's Dad?". "I believe he is trying to find the best room downstairs for his study and office". "Dad, we're ordering pizza. You want some?", Diamond screams out. "Yeah, I'm famished. Will you bring it down for me when it gets here?", her father's answer echoes down the hall. "You'll do it, right? ", she asks Wayne. "Yeah", he replies. "Dad, Wayne will bring it down". "OK", he answers. "Wayne order pizza". "Searching for a good pizza parlour, ordering one large pepperoni pizza and three bottles of coke. Done, should be here in five minutes".

Jenny's POV



I DON'T KNOW WHO THIS GIRL IS OR WHAT THAT VOICE IS BUT I DON'T LIKE WHERE THIS IS GOING. CAUSE IS FREAKING ME OUT... BIG TIME.
"Jenny, I know we just met and this is pretty weird but did you happen to hear a voice... in your head?", Emma inquires. THIS GIRL IS NOT ONLY MESSING WITH MY HEAD, SHE'S CRAZY!!! AND I HAVE TO SORT THIS OUT QUICKLY AND STAY AWAY FROM HER . "Yh... Duh... Can't you hear Principal Frank yelling. It is ringing in the depths of my head, I think those speakers are gonna explode with the force he's using", I snicker. CORRECTION! I FAKE SNICKER. "No, not that... like a voice in your head talking about us", she demonstrates with both her hands. "Ok, your crazy so stay away from me", I half yell.
HAHAHA, YOU FOOLS. CAN YOU NOT FEEL THE CONNECTION BETWEEN YOU TWO? WHAT AM I SAYING YOU CANNOT EVEN HANDLE THE VOICE OF YOUR OTHUABA, the voice comes in again.
I look at Emma and we both scream. We run out of the hall, screaming and Emma bumps into someone at the entrance, she mutters a quick sorry and we continue running. We end up in the school field, we stop to catch our breath. "Am crazy, right?", Emma asks with a hint of sarcasm. "Yh, yh, I know. I heard the voice but I thought you were playing some mind games on me", I reply, honestly.
"Are you girls, okay?". We were taken off guard and we screamed before we turn to see Principal Frank and probably the whole school. "Yeah", Emma replies and I give a ok sign. "Why did you run out the hall?", Principal Franks questions us. "We thought we saw.. ", I begin then I look at Emma for a more logical answer because my brain is preoccupied right now. "A snake", Emma rushes in. "I have a thing for snakes, they really terrify me", she whines and the students murmur. "This school is definitely snake free", Principal Frank assures us. "It was probably an illusion. Don't be scared". "Oh, yeah. We late for class", Emma lies. "Ciao", I say and we run off.
We go to the ladies and freshen up."Yo! Ota.. la.. or whatever you are what do you want from us?". "What are you trying to do? Get us killed?", Emma frowns and twists the door knob then she pulls at it. "Jenny! The door ain't opening, help me". I place my hand on top Emma's own to help her twist the knob and the world just stopped. HOW DID I KNOW? I STOPPED HEARING THE VOICES FROM THE HALLWAY. I quickly withdraw my hand and Emma does the same. The cold begins to creep in as a grey shimmery smoke appears and a girl of our age walks out if it, she's wearing our school's uniform: white flare skirt and the white polo with RVSHS on it and a white canvas. She's fair-skinned, has blond hair and the sparkliest (I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S A WORD BUT WHATEVER)grey eyes. "I'm your Othuaba", she says. Emma touches my arm and points at the girl's eyes, it's shifting colours. Then her appearance starts shifting too, she turns into a old man in a white wrapper with another slung in his shoulder, he's brown eyed. Then he changes into a kinda black smoky floating thingy with magenta eyes. "What are you?", Emma asks as we both quiver in fear. "I am a Variation".
THIS THING OR WHATEVER IT IS, IS NO LONGER A HE OR A SHE. IT'S AN IT, A SCARY IT.

Emma's POV


DON'T FREAK OUT, YOU CAN DO THIS. I MEAN YOUR ONLY GOING TO THE SCHOOL THAT THE GOVERNOR'S SON IS ATTENDING. COME ON EM! GIRL POWER!
WELL THAT'S MY BRAIN TALKING, MY HEART IS PLAYING THE LOUDEST BEATS AND IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE BUT I'M SO CLOSE TO CRYING RIGHT NOW.
"Everyone get to the hall", the speaker blares. "Now!! ". I adjust my black high waist pleated skirt and my blue shirt then I take in a deep breath and release it before entering the very, very, very large hall .OK, BRAIN OVERDRIVE AGAIN. I take in another deep breath and seat at the back. "Welcome back old students and new one's too. Hope you all had fun and rested well in your break? ", Principal Frank questions. "Yes", the students chorus. "I'm happy to hear that because you are back to a term of hard work and focus is also required. The owner and founder of RiverSide High School is willingly and happy to recommend the best students from this term to colleges and universities abroad. So you all have to up your game! And various colleges abroad are also going to be handing out scholarships". I zoned out and stared at the many students of RVSHS. They do invest a lot on style, we have about 10 or more outfits for school.
"Babe! Wake up! You've being sleeping from the beginning of assembly", a girl with black braids whispers into my ear. "Oh! Thanks so much for waking me up", I say and study her appearance. She's wearing a black high waist pleated skirt, a white polo with RVSHS, a red cardigan and diamond studded earring. "Why you looking at me like I've gat crumbs on my cheeks?", the girl asks. "Sorry. I'm Emmanuella but you can call me Emma". "I'm Jenifer". "Cool, can I call you Jenny? ". "Sure, whatever works", she replies with a shrug.
YOU HAVE FOUND YOUR SISTER, A FRIEND FOR LIFE, ANOTHER LIKE YOU. YOU ARE BOTH DIFFERENT, BORN TO PROTECT, YOU POSSESS THE GOLDEN BLOOD.
I DUNNO IF JENNY HEARD THAT VOICE IN HER HEAD TOO CAUSE IT'S FREAKING ME OUT.

Chapter 1

Sweat drips down Emma's face as she races up the last steps on the staircase of Port Harcourt's biggest high school, RiverSide High School. Her black afro coils falls loosely on her black skin. She rushes past the few people she sees at the school hall and goes to the announcement board, she scans the list of awarded scholarships with anxiety. She turns to look at the mixture of worried, anxious, happy and miserable faces walking the hall. She concentrates on the list one more time and searches fervently until she gets to the 9th and last name, Emmanuella.O.Green. Her heart skips a bit as she jumps up, dancing out the hall, down the staircase and into a cab.
She wears a sad face as she opens the door to her home. She walks over to where her mom is seating, she drops hard on the couch and groans.

"Em honey, what's wrong", Miss Green asks. Emma sighs and stands up. "I got the scholarship, I begin school tomorrow", Emma says hurriedly in a squeaky voice.

"Good job", Miss Green compliments. "You were always the smart one", she whispers.

Cold water rains on Emma's dream as she shivers and opens her eyes to see her mom laughing with tears in her eyes. She blinks repeatedly before realizing her mom poured a bucket of cold water on her, then the cold creeps in. She opens her mouth in shock then closes it.

"Are you going to keep opening and closing your mouth like a fish or are you gonna get ready for school?".

"OMG, mom. What's the time? ".

"7", Miss Green replies.

"7! Seriously! And your just waking me now! ".

"Am I supposed to be your alarm? Now hurry up and get ready!".
"Every moment of yours in this world should be accounted for, we never know when we'll run out of time".

Emma's nods as as she listens to her mother's words of wisdom in silence.
Her mom realizes the silence that came with her words. She lets out a humourless laugh her pearly whites in full view.

"In case you didn't realize I poured a bucket of water on you", Miss Green says to lighten the mood.

"Yh, mom. I didn't realize!", Emma gets out of bed.

"How ironic!", she screams. She hears her mom's laughter as she walks into the bathroom.
