Chapter 1
﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌
Arghhh!
Finally we’ve reached our destination.
It took almost an hour!
Riding in this damn coldy car.
Don’t she even notice I don’t like much cold?
Arghhh! how could dad tell me to be here?
such a small house!
Wait, my aunt ain’t even that rich the way I
thought.
Living here for a week is sure gonna be hell for
me.
“Ah finally Isa, we are home.” Aunt Kiki said,
smiling and undoing her seatbelt.
I said nothing and undid my seatbelt as well.
“Get down dear,let’s get your bag.” she said
and I rolled my eyes.
I did’t come here with my whole bedroom.
“I could get them myself.” I said and coming
down from the car, I walked to the boot, opened
it and grabbed my two boxes.
I dragged them along. She came to take one,
“It’s fine Aunt Kiki.” I said and she only gave
me a smile and we walked towards the front
porch.
Seriously, I don’t like that im here.
Im gonna miss Katy and Ariana and a whole
seven days without them is gonna be like a
seven years without them.
Im really going to miss them so much.
What about Davis?
Ugh… I don’t even like him. Im only gonna
miss Katy and Ariana.
Aunt Kiki opened the door and waited for me to
go in first. I did, dragging my two boxes along.
When the door was shut close, she laughed
heartily to me.
“Isa I know you gonna be quite disappointed
with my home, it’s a little messy and not so
large like yours.. It’s only for a week and you’ll
be back to your large home.” she said as I
stared at the messy sitting-room in scattered
sheets of papers and crayons.
“You know Isa dear, im a nursery school
teacher and I do home lessons for some of my
kids. They are great. You’ll love them all when
you see them tomorrow.” she said.
I rolled my eyes, “I need a shower, food and a
soft bed to sleep on. Im exhausted.” I said and
she smiled.
“Well Isa, I’ve not cooked anything, so im
gonna show you your room, so you shower and
then come help me out in the kitchen dear.”
I raised my brows.
Now this is what i’ve never done in my life.
“I’ve never neared a kitchen Aunt. I am in no
way going to the kitchen, especially not yours.
Don’t you have a maid. I could have called Jo
to come with me.” I said.
“And who is Jo?” she asked.
“My maid.” I said.
“Ohh I do everything in here myself cos Im fit
to, so I don’t need a maid and don’t think I’ve
got a bad ugly looking kitchen, it’s quite lovely
Isa dear.” she said.
I rolled my eyes, “Whatever Aunt. Ain’t you
showing me the bedroom anymore? come on,
im exhausted.”
She smiled. “Ofcourse I will, follow me.” she
said and I did.
We took the staircase, and soon we stepped
into a narrow corridor with connected doors.
She passed the first door, second door and
then stopped at the third.
“Oh yeah here.” she said and slide the key into
the door lock.
The door opened and she walked in. I did.
It’s quite lovely, with pink rug, bedspreads and
curtains.
Pink is my favourite.
How did she know?
“When your dad called me that you’do be
coming for a stay, I was so suprised and
happy. I knew you love pink so deeply, so I
had to get a pink fur rug,curtains, bedspreads
and pillowcases. Hope you like it?”
I nodded, “It’s quite cool but mine’s got more
pinks.” I said.
“Yeah I know. You keep your luggages over
there, the closet can take in all your clothes.”
she said.
I’ll keep my boxes beside the blue closet, then
arrange my clothes in the closet.
Wait.
“Aunt Kiki, is the closet clean? I hope there’s
no cobwebs. I hate cobwebs.” I said.
She smiled, “It’s cleaned Isa but if you find any
cobweb, then you take it off.” she said and I
twisted my face in horror.
“No way! You don’t expect me to touch cobweb
with my hands!” I screamed.
“No Isa, there’s a broom in the bathroom, you
use that.” she said.
I rolled my eyes, “I don’t touch brooms, they
might pierce into my hands and.. ” she cut me
short.
“No Isa, you hold brooms at their handle, and
nothing like such will occur. Now I’do leave for
you to freshen up, then join me at the kitchen.
It’s by the left after the dinning-room.” she
said, then smiled and left, closing the door.
I inhaled.
Crazy. This room doesn’t even smell nice.
Gosh!!
And the bed isn’t as large and soft the way I
like my bed to be.
Im calling dad right now, I can’t stay here for a
day!
I wanted to spend my holidays at Sunmay
Beach with Katy and Ariana but dad was not
changing his mind for me to spend them in this
cracked up house with an lazy Aunt and no
maid!
She can’t even make a meal by herself! Her
sitting-room was so messy. Why!
And ugh! she’s only a nursery school teacher!
too poor!
I opened my smaller pink box and it all
contained my underwears, sleeping wears,
including my makeup-kit too, my pink iphone
tablet and pink headset.
I took out my tablet and headphone, got out a
pink undies to wear and brought out my make
out kit too.
I brought out my phone from my little sticker
chain-bag and dialled dad’s line.
It rang twice before he picked up.
“Dad!” I half cried.
“Isa darling, how are you? Your Aunt had
called already to tell me you are home safely.
Hope you like your aunt and her home? she’s
really lovely. You gonna enjoy your stay there,
trust me.”
“No dad. There’s nothing enjoyable here, I
don’t wanna stay here dad. I wanna come
home.”
“No Isa, you have to stay with your Aunt for
awhile.”
“I don’t want!” I shouted.
“You have to dear. I’ll call you by seven Isa,
bye for now and don’t forget to be nice to your
Aunt and help her out. Do whatever she tells
you to do. I love you.” he said and before I
could talk, he dropped the call.
I stamped my feet on the ground in fierce
anger.
I sat there, staring at my iphone.
I felt like smatching it at the damn blue wall.
But after few minutes, I think my anger calmed
a bit.
I stood up and walked to the closet, opened it
to find the closet looking so not good and there
are cobwebs!!
I screamed with anger.
“Ahhh!”“Ahhhhhhhhh!!” “Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”
“Isa! Are you okay there?” I heard Aunt. Kiki’s
voice from the staircase I think.
Soon my bedroom door opened and she
rushed in, looking scared.
“Are you alright Isa? I heard you screaming.”
“Im not! there’s cobwebs!” I yelled.
She placed her hands on her chest and sighed.
“Oh my! Isa. You got me so scared. It’s only
cobwebs dear. The broom is over there at the
bathroom. Get it and clean them off.” she said
with a smile, turned,walked out and closed the
door.
I fumed and stamped my feet on the ground.
Now what the hell is this?
All my life i’ve never touched a broom!
Arghhhhhhhhh! I feel like disappearing outta
here! back to my home. My sweet bedroom! my
maid Jo, my dad, my friends and spend my
holidays at Sunmay beach with Katy and
Ariana!
Not here! in a cobweb filled room!
Realizing there’s nothing I can do about this, I
walked into the bathroom. It wasn’t that small
but there’s no bathtub, no jacuzzi just a shower
cubicle and toilet.
I hissed and went for the broom beside the
vanity unit, grabbed it and after another brief
unsatisfied look at the bathroom once more, I
walked out to the bedroom, over to the closet
and with my face twisted in disgust, I cleaned
off the stupid cobweb and threw the broom only
for it to land on the fur rug and dirty the spot it
dropped.
I hissed leaving it there, and began to arrange
my clothes in the closet, but first spreading
some perfume inside.
After so much time, I was finally done. Aunt Kiki
have not come since then.
She’s nothing but mean and lazy!
I undressed, picked up my pink towel, wrapped
it around my body, collected my soap dish and
toiletry bag and headed into the bathroom.
I hate bathing in the shower! I love Jacuzzi in
the morning and bathtub in the night!
But here, i’ve got no choice. I brushed, then
went into the shower cubicle to bathe.
*
*
I dressed into a pink bomshort and a light
purple tank top, packed my brown hair into a
ponytail and applied mascara on my long
eyelashes, a little foundation on my smooth
face and a little pink lipgloss on my small lips.
I touched the necklace on my neck.
A tiny blue stone fixed into the locket with slim
but strong black rope which held round to my
neck.
My dad never told me how he got this necklace
but it’s been on my neck ever since I was born
with a strict warning of me, never to take it out
of my neck.
Though I never like it, but i’ve obeyed dad’s
warning.
Looking at myself in the mirror, I look so
beautiful…and im so proud of my beauty and
my skin.
You know how good it feels to be marked in
school as the most beautiful student?
For you to be signed as the school billboard
model and the current EyeGirl.
For you to have Katy, Mari Mayn-the american
singer’s daughter, and Arianna, the ex-
governor’s granddaughter as friends.
That’s a whole lot of pride.
But my dad think they are nothing but bad
peers.
I’ve been trying to make him see that they
aren’t but he’s not understanding.
Sometimes, I want to say that I hate my dad
but I know that’s a lie. I can never hate my
dad, I love him. He’s the best dad in the whole
world.
*
I sat back on the bed, picked up my tablet and
connected on a video call to Katy… sure thing
is that, I love Katy Mayn more.
She picked up and her grinning face came on.
“Woah! Isaaaaa!” she yelled.
My eyes first fell on the background.
Woah… she’s at the beach.
I could see passing people in bikini and shorts.
Katy, she wore a blue bikini with sunglasses
and a sun hat.
“Isaaa, come on. Look at your face.” she said,
laughing as air blew through her long black
hair.
“Sunmay beach?” I asked.
“No.. iebeach, but Ariana and I would be going
to Sunmay beach next tomorrowwww. ” she
said, laughing.
I sighed. “Im gonna miss that so much.”
“We are gonna miss you too. I got a new
charming guy, Raven. He’s so handsome and
hot… We’ll be going to Sunmay together and
his super handsome friend too, he wanted to
meet you so badly.”
“Awwwwn what does his name sound like?” I
asked.
“Alex. He’s so handsome.” she said.
I sighed in anger, “Im gonna miss so much.” I
said.
“Yeah alot.” she said and made a sad face.
“What about Ariana?”
“She went to get drinks with Davis. You know
she’s so crazy about him. Hahaha.”
“I don’t like him.” I said.
“Me too but he’s cute tho.” she said.
“Isa Raven is so romantic, you know what? we
hangout yesterday night, drank till we got tipsy
and getting to his house, we did some naughty
plays.” she said and giggled.
“Woah. How rich is he?”
“Super rich and he’s studying in Germanyyyy.”
“What about his friend, uhmm Alex?”
“Same!”
“How did you meet them Katy?”
“Seriously girl, my mom is a top American
singer, have you forgotten?” she laughed.
I smiled, “Have fun girl. I hate here. It’s so
boring and frustrating. My dad just hate me to
bring me in this goddamn place.”
“Im so sorry Isa, you know there’s nothing we
could have done to make him change his mind.
You don’t worry, we gonna get you lots of
goodies.” she said.
Then she raised her brows, “Ariana is coming
with Davis. Let me run to them. First, check out
the beach water.” she said and turned to the
beach water.
It look beautiful with people in, swimming and
playing.. So much fun.
“Fun right?” she asked.
“Yeah.” I said.
“Ariana, come talk with Isa.” Katy called on
Arianna.
“Oh my God Isaaa!!” I heard Arianna shout.
*
*
Coming down the stairs to the sitting-room,
Aunt Kiki wasn’t in.
Is she still in the kitchen? Preparing what
exactly?
A feast?
I followed the direction to the kitchen she gave
me, and there was she in the nice looking but
small kitchen, sitting on a back-chair and
reading a newspaper with her glasses.
She raised her face and smiled.
“Great. Finally you are here. Over there is the
pot of food, serve yourself with a dish.” she
said.
I frowned, “And what food is that and why
should I touch a pot! i’ve never done that!?”
“Rice dear. You’ll like it.” she said.
“No way! I hate rice!” I said.
“Fine Isa dear, inside the fridge are the milk
carton, make yourself a tea, then we gonna
cook your type of dish later okay?” she said
with a smile.
I hissed and headed to the fridge. Im hungry
and I can’t bear it.
I opened the fridge to find something more
better, cornflakes and milk.
The doorbell rang and she stood up.
“Ohh it must be Catherine” she said and
walked out.
I signed and took out the cornflake box and
milk.
Picked out a plate, spoon and water.
I have slight idea how to make this thing.
I poured in the cornflakes, milk and water but
the water became much.
I hissed and threw the shit into the sink, walked
to the fridge, grabbed a biscuit pack and a
juice, closed back the fridge, sat on the back-
seat and began eating.

Chapter 2
﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌
When I walked out to the the sitting-room, Aunt
Kiki was talking with a dark-skinned lady.
They both turned their eyes to me and I rolled
my eyes and headed for the staircase but Aunt
Kiki called me back.
“Isabel come back and say Hi to my friend.”
I sighed and reluctantly came to them.
“So Catherine, this is my niece, Isabel and
Isabel this is my friend, Catherine.”
I sighed.
What’s my business!
“Isabel, you are such a beautiful girl.”
Catherine said and hugged me.
I rolled my eyes.
She pulled away and with a broad smile she
said, “My house is the third after yours. My
husband and I are gardeners. I have a
daughter, Rose, she could come stay with you
sometimes.” she said.
I scoffed within.
“Alright Isa, go to your room.” aunt Kiki said.
I turned and climbed the stairs to the room.
*
Realising there’s no TV in the room, I layed on
the bed, wore my headset and took out my
tablet to play games.
But soon, I slept off.
*
When I woke up, it was dark already.
I took off the headset, dropped it on the bed
and stood up from the bed.
I found the switch and the lights came on.
I rubbed my eyes then walked over to the
window and drew the curtains.
The house after ours is almost like Aunt Kiki’s.
With stuttered windows and chimney.
The window directly opposite mine was open
and the creamy curtains danced at the touch of
the passing wind but I couldn’t see the inside.
It was dark.
I could also see the mainstreet and the street
lights and also few cars driving pass and
passing people, mostly people in rubber boots
and overcoat.
I sighed and closed back the curtain.
Just then, the door opened and Aunt Kiki
walked in.
“Isa, I came to check on you after Catherine
left and saw you sleeping. I know you must be
very hungry after dropping the cornflakes and
taking only a biscuit and juice.” she said.
My stomache grumbled instantly.
“Yeah I am!” I said.
“Well while you were asleep, I prepared a very
sweet sandwitch and mayonnaise. You’ll like
it.” she said with a smile.
I sighed.
Very much better.
*
*
“So Isa, your dad thought you could be safe
here, that was why he brought you over. You
know right?” she asked after we were done
eating and I rolled my eyes.
“Safe in what way? He forced me to be here
cos he wants me to be away from my best
friends. He think they are bad peers. I should
be spending my holiday in Sunmay beach, not
here in this boring cobweb old modern house.”
I said.
She smiled.
“It’s okay Isa, just stay a week and it will be
over. You should go take a shower now and
sleep.” she said.
I rolled my eyes.
“I just woke up from sleep. I’ll watch movies.” I
said.
“Ohh great. I have lots of Kdramas, you will
love them. Ever heard of BBF? The Heir, A
playful kiss? Dream High? My personal
Taste?”
I rolled my eyes. “I hate Kdramas. I’ll watch
Nicklodeon rather.” I said.
She sighed, then shrugged, “But I love Korean
movies more, my daughter loved it too before
she.. she died.” she said and I sighed.
I heard the news.
My dad told me Regina, Kiki’s daughter fell into
the ocean and no one was there to save her,
she got lost or rather, she died and her body
was never found.
“Is that ocean around?” I asked.
She looked straight at me and let out a sad
smile, “Your dad told you?”
“Yeah.”
“No it’s not. It’s a fifty minutes drive from here.”
she said.
“But what did she went there to do?”
“She went for a search with her two school
friends, Mara and Elizabeth, then all I heard
was she was swimming and all of a sudden she
was lost in the ocean, her friends didn’t see her
anymore.. She was searched for in the ocean
but she wasn’t found. But there was something
I never liked about her friendship with
Elizabeth. I always had the feeling that
Elizabeth is not really human. Her behaviour
and her talks about waters and oceans.” she
said.
I think I began getting scared.
I inhaled.
“Where is the Elizabeth now?” I asked.
“She lives with her sister some blocks away.”
“They live in this street?”
“Yes but not so close” she said.
I breathed out.
“Okay, Im going up to my room.” I said.
I don’t wanna continue this scary conversation.
“Aren’t you watching some movies anymore?”
she asked.
“No. I think I need to talk with my dad, then
sleep off.” I said.
She smiled.
“Alright Isa, goodnight. Have a sweet dreams,
may God Angels be by your sides and watch
over you tonight, Amen.” she prayed.
“Thanks.” I said and left for my room.
“Isa.” she called and I sighed and stopped.
“Yeah!”
“Aren’t you gonna say ‘goodnight’ to me too?”
I chuckled and turned to face her. “Goodnight
Aunt Kiki.” I said.
She smiled, “Thanks my beautiful niece.”
I turned and finally climbed up the staircase to
my room.
*
Seriously that was scary.
She was having the feelings that Elizabeth
wouldn’t be really a human.
Maybe a mermaid, sorceress or spirit?
And they live in the street.
God! I don’t wanna think about this. I better
just watch any movie on my phone or listen to
music.
No I’ll watch a movie.
I searched through my tablet and settled for a
phillipine movie, ‘Bride For Rent’
It’s gonna make me laugh and help in making
me forget about Regina’s death, Oceans and
Elizabeth.
I played the movie and it began.
Two hours later, it was over and I was happy I
had nothing bothering me again.
I took my shower, pulled into my pink pajamas.
Just then dad call came and I picked up.
“How are you daughter?” his voice came in.
“I don’t know dad. Im missing so many things
already. I wish you could let me come back
tomorrow.” I said.
“No darling. You gonna be back but that is
after a week with your aunt.” he said.
“She’s got no maid dad and my bedroom is so
small.” I said sadly.
“You have to live in them, just the way there
are. You don’t expect everyone to be wealthy.
Learn darling, Im gonna transfer your aunt
money tomorrow for your upkeep. Don’t forget
to know that I love you.”he said.
I sighed. “Goodnight dad.” I said and dropped
the call before he could, Just he could know
that im angry.
But my Anger is not gonna make him change
his mind.
Maybe I should tell him about Elizabeth.
That might scare him.
I called him back…after a long ring, he picked
up.
“What is it Isa?” he asked immediately he
picked up the call.
I breathed out, “Dad im scared.. Im really
scared here. aunt Kiki said a girl she think is
behind her daughter’s death is living in the
area. Dad Im scared to be here.. I want to
come back.” I said and began crying.
“It’s okay Isa dear, I’ll know what to do about
this. I think you gonna come back tomorrow. I
don’t want anything happening to you.” she
said and I almost jumped pass the ceiling!
My jump was so high. My head almost touched
the ceiling!
“Yeah dad! yes! yes! yes!” I said.
“I’ll talk with your aunt. Be careful ok. switch off
the lights and cover yourself well. Goodnight.”
“Goodnight dad.” I said excitedly.
The call dropped and I fell on my bed,
spreading wide my hands.
“Yes!! im so going back home tomorrow!” I
said, grabbed my headset, wore it, and played
‘Katy Perry-Teenage Dreams’
I stood up on the bed, began dancing and
singing loudly along.
Jumping crazily on the bed…
Yeah
yeah
yeah.
*
*
*
Waking up by a song and guitar playing..I
thought I still had my headset but I remember
vividly that I took it off when sleep came
rocking on my eyes.
But I still touched my head and my ear and
there was no headset.
The bedside lamp was the only light on.
I rubbed my eyes and sat up on the bed.
Now I could get it actually.
The song was coming from outside.
Really? who plays guitar at… I tapped on my
phone and the time said ‘2:15am’
Who plays guitar and sings that loud at this
time?
I got out of the bed, walked to the window and
drew the curtains and there at the next house,
sitting on the shuttered window and facing the
high street was a guy in black shirt and black
trouser, playing a guitar and singing.
Woah even though it was night time, I could
see how his black hair curled to the side of his
face. I could see his handsomess from here.
His voice is super sweet. He sang with energy
and with smiles.
I watched him.. When he was done with the
song, he started another one.
This one more sweet and captivating.
I smiled and nodded my head along to the
sweet rhymes of the song.
After the third Verse, I could now sing along in
the refrain.
*****Don’t you ever say,
Maybe I might stay,
cos im never going away from you.
Something I believe
That im gonna live
Cos Im an Angel watching over you.
All day! All night!
Im your sun, im your moon and your stars.
Just believe
I’ll never leave
You are always in my heart
Foreverrr*****
I laughed.. realizing I sang along with him.
His song is so captivating and the very way he
played his guitar.
Do he live in that house? Can’t he look over
here to see that someone has been watching
him?
He look really handsome and im crushing on
him already.
Soon he began another song.
***When I was a little boy
I thought I could reach to the stars and ride in
one
But hell no no no,
I could only jump a little upper and then im
falling down***
I laughed.
Why would he think that, that’s crazy.
I watched him tell his childhood story all in that
song and it was very amazing.
His mom was a knitter and his dad a gardener.
Whenever he follows his mom to her knitting
shop, he’do try to knit ‘H’ but end up spoiling
his mom’s wools.
And when he’s with his father in the garden, he
love to mold the size of his dad shoe with sand
and then slid his two fit in just one.
He use to lie sick so he could miss school to
stay home and compose a new song.
He hated maths but loved his maths teacher
but he loved music and hated his music
teacher.
When he was fourteen, he loved Loveth cos
her name was love thinking she’do be love but
she ended up being hatred and heartbreak, so
he named her Lotofhate instead of Loveth.
He never took a bus to school till he was fifteen
and so lots of others.
Woah..
My childhood wasn’t that way.
I was always being carried to the bathtub.
Taken to the amuzement park.
Going to schools in private cars and not
allowed to touch anything in my dad’a mansion.
*
I felt sleepy again and after a brief look, I drew
close the curtain and layed back on my bed.
I could still hear him singing. Im sure I ain’t the
only one hearing him now.
Maybe aunt Kiki is and the whole
neighbourhood.
But he’s really handsome and his songs are so
so sweet.
I laughed as he sang the last line of his
childhood story.
***Never thought I was a child at seven untill I
wore dad’s coat and couldn’t find myself.****

Chapter 3
﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌
Waking up with a slight headache, I rubbed the
side where it’s hitting and the only reason I
could say brought the headache is that I stayed
a little awake in the midnight.
Recalling the guitar guy, I smiled, got up and
dashed to the window, drew the curtains but he
wasn’t there anymore but the window is open
but I couldn’t see the inside. It’s dark. Why?
I drew close the curtain and walked to the
beside lamp, turned the light off and then
headed into the bathroom. I had a pee in the
WC before going over to the vanity unit,
washed my face in the sink and brushed my
teeth.
checking myself in the small cirle mirror, I saw
that my eyes were baggy and dull. I shouldn’t
be up by this time if I did wake up at midnight.
This is just ‘five minutes after seven’ and I
don’t even feel dizzy for more sleep and my
waking up was quite astonishing.
I just opened my eyes like I wasn’t even
sleeping which is so unusual especially when I
was awake in the midnight. What happened? it
seemed as if someone woke me up but that
can’t be possible.
*
I got out of the bathroom, slide my feet into my
pink fur slippers, grabbed my phone and
walked out of the room.
*
Downstairs, aunt Kiki was already dressed up
for school.
She smiled at seeing me walk down the stairs.
“Isa dear, I was about coming to your room to
let you know that im off to school. You should
eat the pancake in the microwave. It’s really
delicious.” she said.
“Wait, im I really going to stay alone in this
house?” I asked.
“Ofcourse it’s okay. Im gonna tell Rose to
come over and stay with you so you wouldn’t
feel lonely. There’s nothing to be scared of
OK?” she hurriedly said,“..and Im gonna be
back before it’s ‘3pm’ Take care of yourself
darling.” she said, then came over and gave
me a peck.
I watched her leave and close the door,
followed by the zooming off of her car.
I sighed.
Wait! dad didn’t call her? dad didn’t call her
after telling me he will!
I dialled dad’s line immediately and he picked
up after so many rings.
“Hello dad!” I yelled into the phone.
“Isa, are you alright?”
“Im not! why didn’t you call aunt Kiki after
telling me you gonna call her!!” I yelled.
“Isa, we gonna talk about this later. Right now,
im in a meeting.” He said and ended the call.
I stamped my feet!!
Damn you dad!
I just wanna say that I hate you but I can’t!
Anyways, im so hungry.
I headed to the kitchen to get the pancake she
talked about.
Finding the microwave, I opened it and there
on a ceramic dish was a sweet smelling
pancake.
I grabbed it, placed it on a tray, picked a juice
and water from the fridge and carried them in
the tray to the dinning where I placed them
carefully on the table, sat down and ate it all till
the plate was empty.
After resting for awhile, then it came knocking
on my head.
Who’s gonna wash this things and even the
ones aunt Kiki left in the sink?
It can’t be me tho.
I’ll just take them to the kitchen.
She wash them when she gets back.
*
I carried the tray back to the kitchen, dropped
them in the sink, then walked out to the sitting-
room, sat down on the longest couch, grabbed
the remote from the table and switched on the
TV to watch movies.
Well after searching through the channels, I
settled for Zeeworld.
I think that’s much better.
But after an hour, I got tired and left to my room
to have my bathe.
*
After bathing, I settled for a white singlet with a
white lacy jacket over it and a yellow skirt.
I applied mascara on my eyelashes and
decided to take few selfies and I did. They look
sweet but the background is not so cool!
Ugh! I can’t wait to get outta this house!
My guitar crush.
Why’s he giving me the feelings of staying
back. Of not wanting to go anymore.
I walked to the window, drew the curtains to
check if he’s there but he still wasn’t.
I wish to watch him sing again..
I wanna see how handsome he is in the day
light.
But after few minutes and he didn’t show up on
the window, I drew close the window.
Maybe he only sings at nights.
I sat on the bed, grabbed my phone and
decided to go through my WhatsApp chats and
instagram.
I went through Katy’s instagram uploads and
she did take a lot of pictures with Ariana, Davis
and two other guys which I guess would be
Raven and Alex.. ohh she kissed this one on
this picture.. Well Raven is more handsome.
I reacted on the pictures and dropped my
comments. Then checked Ariana’s too.
p
Chatting made me feel less bored.
But then my heart leaped with excitement when
I heard the sound of the guitar.
I dropped my phone and rushed to the window,
drew the curtains and there was him, sitting on
the window, with his guitar but he still wore the
same clothes.
I smiled as I watched him began a song.
The song immediately got me.
Woah!! that sweet song! he sang it last night.
Gosh gosh I wanna record it. Oh my God! My
phone!!
I rushed back to my bed and grabbed my
phone. I wanna make a video record of him
and listen to his songs when I eventually leave
here!
But before I got back to the window, the song
stopped and when I opened the curtain, he
was no more there.
What happened?
I sighed, walked back to my bed and fell on it,
wishing for sleep to come and in no time, it did.
I slept off, only for me to wake up three hours
later feeling another round of hunger.
I sighed and got out of the bed, took my phone
and headed out to the kitchen to get something
to eat.
*
I opened the fridge and was suprised to see
three toasted breads and mayonnaise. But I
didn’t see them when I opened the fridge in the
morning.
Maybe my eyes didn’t go there.
I waved that off and grabbed the plate of
toasted bread and mayonnaise, then settled on
the kitchen counter to eat, not bothering to take
them to the dinning table.
*
Soon I was done eating.I carried the plates to
the kitchen and heaped them together with the
other unwashed plates.
Just as I came out from the kitchen, the
doorbell rang, I glanced at the wall clock and it
said ‘2:30pm’
Must be aunt Kiki.
And wait! I thought she said the girl, Rose is
gonna come. Whatever!
I walked to the door and opened it.
aunt Kiki.
“Isa dear, Rose told me she came knocking but
you didn’t answer.” she said immediately.
I raised my brows, “I heard none of the
knocks.”
“Really?” she said as she walked in and closed
back the door.
I rolled my eyes, “Yeah. I had a long nap.”
“Oh she said she did ring the doorbell for a
really long time.” she said.
I arched my brow.
If she did rang the doorbell for a long time then
that should have woken me up from sleep. I
ain’t such a deep sleeper.
“ I really don’t know what happened. I guess I
was too deep in my sleep.” I said, quite
bewildered.
First, I woke up quite early in the morning when
im not supposed to.
Then the headache stopped just after I
splashed water on my face and brushed.
Then I slept so deeply that I wasn’t awoken by
the doorbell rings.
Im confused.
“It’s okay. I hope you ate the toasted bread
and mayonnaise in the fridge?”
“Yes I did.” I said.
“And you washed the plates after right?” she
asked with her eyes on mine.
I rolled my eyes, “Ofcourse not. I can’t do
that.” I said.
She smiled, “You’ll have to do that Isa. Now go
to the kitchen and wash the dishes.” she said.
“Im not!” I snapped and headed upstairs.
“Isa!” she called.
“Isabel come back here!”
Ignored her and went into my room and locked
the door.
I layed down on my bed and decided to read a
wattpad novel but just as I was about logging
in, the strings sound of his guitar came on and
his voice sang out.
I smiled. He’s back.
I walked to the window to see him.
Waoh he’s so cute.. but why is he still in the
same clothe? is he that poor to wear just one
clothe for a whole day?
Soon he was done with the short song, and
started ‘Bittersweet Me’
I felt so excited.
That was the song I so badly wanted to record.
I clicked on my phone screen only to find it
switched off.
I didn’t switch it off! how the hell did it switch
off?
I tried switching it on but it wasn’t responding.
While I kept trying, he stopped singing and I
looked up to see he isn’t there anymore.
I breathed out. Now what the hell is wrong with
this damn phone!
I walked out from the window and just as I sat
on the bed, my phone switched on.
Waohh.. Seriously, this is crazy!
*
*
*
Night came and aunt Kiki’s kids left. I was in
my room. I didn’t go to see them but I know
when their parents came to take them.
And an hour later after, I felt hungry and
walked out to eat.
I met aunt Kiki sitting at the couch in the sitting-
room, going through some books I guess would
be her kids work books.
She looked up at me, “Isa you didn’t come to
see my kids.” she said.
“I was busy.” I said.
“It’s okay. Your dinner is there on the dinning.
Don’t forget to wash the dishes after.” he said
and I breathed out.
*
After eating, I carried the plates to the kitchen
and dropped them with the other unwashed
ones.
There were quite much.
This is gonna be the first time for me to wash
plates.
My face twisted in both horror and anger as I
picked up the first plate and took the foam to
wash.
The plates felt heavy and slippery in my
hand…
I picked up the next plate but it was so heavy
and slippery that it fell outta my hand and
landed on the tiled floor but seriously! it didn’t
break.
Astonishingly it didn’t.
How the hell did this happen?
Woahh.
I bent and picked up the plate, inhaled and
went on with the washing.

The sound of his guitar and his singing woke
me up again.. I checked the time and it’s 3am.
I thought of not going to the window but just lay
down and listen to his songs.. but I couldn’t
help it. I was craving to see his face even
though he was far.
I wish I could meet him soon before I leave
here.
I got up from the bed and went over to the
window, drew the curtains and saw him.
Seriously why is he still in the same clothes?
I sighed and watched him singing.
I can’t believe im having thougts of meeting him
and telling him how good he sings.
I kept watching him sing till I got tired of
standing and drew close the curtains, walked
back to my bed and layed back.
While still listening to his songs, I fell back
asleep.
*
*
Morning came and I woke up by the knocking
on my door.
I sighed.
“Isa wake up.” aunt Kiki’s voice came behind
the door.
“Why!” I snapped.
“It’s morning and im off to work.” she said.
I rolled my eyes, “Bye.”
“You should make yourself a coffee for
breakfast.” she said.
I frowned, “I can’t make coffee.”
“Bye Isa dear and don’t forget to tidy up the
house ok.” she said and then she walked
away.
I sighed.
Who is gonna tidy up whatever!!
Seriously, this is really annoying and
unbearable!
I hissed and grabbed my phone and typed on
the google search.
‘How to make a coffee drink.’
1. Heat up a cup of water..
2. Add 1 or 2 teaspoons of instant coffee into a
mug..
3. Dissolve the coffee with a table spoon of
cold water..
4. Pour the hot water into the mug.
And so on..
I sighed and decided to eat bread and jam.
I walked out, downstairs and to the kitchen.
I walked to the fridge, opened it and grabbed a
bread and jam.
I dropped it on a counter and went for a bread
knife and saucer.
*
*
After I was done eating, I was exhausted to
wash the plates.. and wait! did aunt Kiki tell me
to tidy up the house?
Never going to be possible.
I can accept to wash the plates.. but never
gonna try this shit of cleaning this damn house.
Never!
I walked out and then upstairs to my room.
I even feel sleepy.
Maybe I coud shower and sleep awhile then
wake up and call Katy.
Ahhh dad said he was gonna call me!! but he
still haven’t!
Im just gonna deal with him when I go back!
Opening the door, I was beyond shocked to
see him…
The guitar guy at the next house window.
He was standing close to my window with his
guitar in his hand.
His look was stoic and we were just staring at
each other. I was shocked and confused.
“How did. did you.. get here? Wait aunt Kiki
closed the door and im sure I locked the door
when she did.” I said, my mind racing to when
aunt Kiki left for school.
I was still in bed when she did, then when I
came down I sure forget to go lock the door.
“You didn’t.” he said.
I shook my head, “Even if I didn’t. Why the hell
did you come in without ringing the doorbell?” I
asked.
He shrugged, “Because the door opened
before I thought of doing that.” he said.
My jaw dropped at his stupid lie..
“Such a lie. And you couldn’t even stay at the
sitting-room, you walked all the way into my
bedroom. What do you want.” I said.
He smiled.
Goshh he’s cute.
“I can’t believe you’re seeing me.” he said.
I narrowed my eyes, “What do you mean?”
He came nearer to me, staring into my eyes
and mine to his. I wasn’t seeing the image of
me in his eyeballs.
Why?
“You’ve been listening to my songs from your
window. I’ve been seeing you.” he said.
“So? that doesn’t answer my question” I said.
“Im also aware that you’ve been admiring me.”
he said.
I arched my brow, “How did you know?”
“Because.. because.” he paused.
“Because of what?” I asked.
He pushed his hair back and that made him
appear really handsome.
“seriously I was astonished when I felt eyes on
me. And scanning around for those eyes, I saw
it was yours. A girl’s eyes living inside this
house. Are you new here? and why do you see
me?”
All he said made no common sense to me.
I got nothing.
“Ain’t you a human? why are you asking me
sich a question.” I asked and my question got
me frightened.
Is he a human?
“I don’t know.” he said and I frozed.
“What the hell do you mean?” I asked, and
began moving backwards.
But he started coming slowly forward too.
My beating stopped as great fear caught me.
“Do you remember waking up so early? do you
remember having a deep sleep that the
doorbell couldn’t wake you up? do you
remember wanting to record me singing but
your phone switched off and couldn’t switch
on. Do you remember the ceramic dish falling
last night but didn’t break? do you?” he asked
and my back landed on the door.
I couldn’t move back anymore and he also
stopped abit away from me.
I began scampering with my hand for the
doorknob but couldn’t find it even though it was
supposed to be right here.
“Who.. who the hell are you?” I asked as tears
hurriedly gathered in my eyes.
I was dying with fright.
He sighed, “Im Henry Leone.” he said.
“What are you!” I yelled.
“I was a human just like you six years ago but
they say that im dead five years now.” he said
and my heatbeat ceased.
I shut my eyes tight and screamed.
“Ahhhhh” “Ahhhhh ghost. oh ghost. you are a
ghost. aunt Kiki!!! ghost Jesus Christ. Ghost!!
oh my God, please don’t hurt me, I beg you.” I
cried with tears pouring down and my heart
beating loudly and fast, my hands, my legs and
my lips shaking.
“No no no, you don’t need to be scared of me
Isabel.” he said and I shook my head swiftly.
He even know my name.
He’s a ghost. A ghost is standing here.
“Ahhhhhhhhhh” “Ahhh im dead!!” I screamed.
“Please open your eyes, im not harmful. I
wouldn’t have disturbed you if you weren’t
seeing and hearing me like everyone is. Im
suprised that you are and I believe there’s a
reason why you do Isabel.” he said with a
voice so calm.
I finally found the doorknob and grabbed it
tightly.
Im going to open this door right now and dash
off.
“Just open your eyes and look at me.” he said
but I shook my head.
“Pls.” he said.
“No!! I don’t wanna look at you! Go away right
now! please..” I cried.
“But I can’t. You caused this for me, first you
are seeing me, secondly you love me.”
“I don’t love you. Never!” I yelled.
“Okay, fine but you have a crush on me.” he
said and giggled.
I sighed. My eyes still shut.
“You love my songs.” he said.
I moved a little forward, so I could open the
door, I did but the door refused to open.
There’s no reason to be confused about this.
It’s him.
I breathed out and opened my right eye.
He was standing inches away from me with his
brown eyes looking into mine.
I looked away.
“Please don’t look into my eyes. Yours are
scary.” I said.
“Open the other one too, im not a monster or a
vampire. Im only a ghost.” he said and I
swallowed.
“Open the door, get away from my room and
never come back I beg you” I said with my lips
shaking. I was sweating furiously.
“And I told you Isabel, that I can’t leave you
again till you calm down and hear my story,
and we could know the reason why you can
see me.” he said.
“I don’t wanna listen to you. You are dead, why
don’t you go to ghosts like you and talk with
them. Im not a ghost. Im human, I don’t see
ghosts, im not a sorceress. Oh God, im
dreaming!! this is not happening.” I wept, still
clutching on the doorknob.
“But you are seeing me when you are human.
It shows that you alone can help me. I’ve been
wishing for something like this for five years
now, thank you so much for coming here.” he
said.
“I have no idea why im seeing you. I have
nothing to do with spirits, just go away from me
please. Ahh!!”
“I wish I can but it’s not possible Isabe–.” he
was cut short by the doorbell ring.
He glanced into my eyes, then down at the
door, then in another second, he wasn’t there
again. He disappeared!!
I screamed in horror and dashed out of the
room. Ran downstairs and over to the door still
screaming with shaking fright.
I opened the door and it was a girl with brown
fringe hair braided in pigtails.
Must be the Rose.
She widened her eyes at me, “Are you alright?
I heard you screaming.” she said.
I couldn’t hide it.
I “There’s a…a”
then what happened next, I heard no slightest
idea.
I saw myself rolling in a dark tunnel with dim
colourful little lights rolling with me too.. I
wasn’t screaming, I just kept rolling.
Then the next, was seeing myself back again,
standing at the door but there was no Rose
again.
What happened ?? What the hell happened to
me!
“Im sorry about that.” I heard his voice behind
me.
I gasped with fright and turned to see him
looking at me with dull ‘sorry’ eyes. His guitar
still with him.
I began moving backward but then I slipped
and was falling but got hung in the air and
something pushed me up to my feet.
I have no idea what force was that but I know it
was his handwork.
I placed my hands on my fast beating chest.
“What did you do? Where is Rose?” I asked.
“You wanted to tell her about me but I can’t let
you.” he said.
“Why!” I asked.
“Cos it have to be just between us. Even if
another person got to know about it, then it
have to be someone that would understand.
That girl wouldn’t believe you nor understand
anything.” he said.
“Where is she?” I asked.
“I went into you.” he said.
My jaw dropped.
“You did what!!” I screamed.
He licked his bottom lips and scratched his hair
like he doesn’t get what im asking, “Well, I did
just so you can say something else to her than
telling her you saw a ghost.” he said.
“And then?” I was eager. I just hope she’s
safe!
“I made you tell her that you weren’t screaming
and that you don’t need any disturance. That
you wanna be alone, so she left.” he said.
I gasped but relieved that she left safely.
“Hope you didn’t hurt her!” I asked.
He licked his lips, “I don’t hurt people. Im not a
wolf nor a vampire.” he said.
I breathed, “I don’t really know what you want
from me.” I said.
“Your listening ears and your help.” he said.
“How im I to help a ghost? seriously I wonder
why im seeing you! it horrifies me.” I said.
He smiled.. Gosh his smile is amazing.
Stupid me.. Im crushing on a ghost!
A ghost!
“You see, you have a crush on me.” he said
with a giggle.
“How the hell did you know?” I asked.
“You said it within you. In your heart.” he said.
I breathed out, “See Harry or what’s your
name.”
“Henry” he said.
“Henry, I think Im not scared of you anymore
but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go away
from me. Stop frightening the hell outta me.” I
said.
“But you said you ain’t scared of me anymore. I
was already jumping up.” he said, laughing.
“Your aunt will soon be home.” he said.
I quickly glanced at the wall clock, ’12:03pm’
Time went so fast.
“How did you know?” I asked him with a
narrowed eyes.
He shrugged with a smile. That killer smile of
his.
“Answer me.” I said.
“Im a gho–” he stopped and peered looked
innocently into my eyes.
I guess he could feel my fear start up again at
that word ‘ghost’
“Im sorry.” he apologised and made to come
closer.
“Don’t even!” I snapped.
He stopped.
“Can I help you with the tidying of the house?”
he asked.
I raised my brows at him, “You know everything
happening in here. Are you a pock nosing
ghost?”
He smiled.
“I started watching you immediately I realized
that you can see and hear me.” he said.
I swallowed.
“You’ve been watching me while I sleep and
take my shower?” I asked.
He smiled and then licked his bottom lips.
I breathed out.
“You are nothing but a mischievous spirit.” I
said.
“I can never watch you while you take your
bathe. Anyways what haven’t I seen?” he
chuckled.
“You can’t see mine!” I snapped.
“Yeah I know. Wow I just want us to be like
this. Im happy you ain’t scared of me anymore.
Now lemme start by helping you out in tidying
up the house.” he said and turned to head to..
to the kitchen.
“Wait! where are going?” I asked.
He stopped. “Let’s start with the kitchen” he
said.
“Wait, how will it feel talking to you when my
aunt is around?” I asked.
He scratched his hair, “It will look weird and
funny to her. She’d think you’ve gone crazy,
talking to nobody.” he said and I gasped.
huh!
He shrugged, then started walking towards the
kitchen. My eyes fell on his legs and I saw that
his feet wasn’t touching the ground.
I swallowed.
Seriously, i’ve been seriously talking with a
ghost. But im not really scared anymore. Why?
Gosh! why im I even seeing a ghost!
Im I a ghost too?
No stupid me, im not!
This is the weirdest dream I’ve ever had!

It took me fifteen minutes to make up my mind
and get the courage and boldness to head to
the kitchen.
With slow and careful steps, I walked to the
kitchen, peeping in, He was facing the counter.
My eyes fell on his feet. It’s so true, he’s feet
are a bit up from the floor.
“Finally you are here.” he said without turning.
I breathed out, “How did you know im here?”
He then turned and smiled.
“I feel you.” he said.
“Is that the way you feel other people too?” I
asked.
“Yeah, but yours is so strong. Like we have a
strong connection.” he said.
I swallowed, “How did you die?”
“I have no idea but I remember before I
became a spirit, I kissed Juliet for the first
time.” he said.
“Who’s Juliet?” I asked.
“My girlfriend.” he said.
“That was five years ago right? so how old
were you then?” I asked.
“Eighteen.” he said.
“That means you are twenty-three now?”
“Maybe but Im still eighteen now, you can see.”
he said.
“Yeah.” I muttered.
“Your your feet don’t touch the floor.” I said.
He shrugged, “Do you really have to ask about
everything? im a gho–” he paused.
I breathed out then looking around the kitchen,
I found out that the kitchen has been all tidied
up.
Woah.
“That was fast.” I said.
He smiled, “Yeah.”
“How did you do it? they were heap of plates
and the counter and the floor was too dirty.” I
said.
He smiled. I guess he got a thing for smiles.
“Yes I do.” he said with a wider smile.
“Huh?” I raised my brow.
“I love smiling alot.” he said.
“Stop reading my mind Henry.” I said.
He twisted his lips in a funny way, “I can’t.”
“Just try!” I said.
“Don’t just think of bad things.” he said and
giggled.
I instantly wanted to tell him ‘Bleep you’ but
realizing he’s a ghost, I didn’t.
“Say it if you want to. I ain’t gonna hurt you.
I’ve never hurt anyone not even when I was
alive.” he said.
I sighed. He’ll always keep reading my mind.
He smiled.
“Watch this.” he said. Then his eyes went to
the mopping stick and shockingly, it began
walking towards.
“What the Bleep!” I screamed and ran
backwards.
“Nothing to be scared of.” he said as the
mopping stick began mopping the kitchen floor
by itself.
I watched it with wide eyes and lips agape.
He glanced at me with a smile, then looked at
the mopping stick and it stopped mopping,
paused then fell down.
I placed my hand on my beating chest.
“Now I know the reason behind the plate that
fell but didn’t break.” I said and he laughed.
“Won’t you thank me?” he said.
I stared at him..
“Fine, don’t bother.” he said and went for his
guitar laying on the small kitchen seat.
“Well thanks. If you hadn’t done that, I would
have had to pick up the broken pieces, so
much work.” I said.
He smiled.
“The thanks I need from you Isa, is your help.”
he said.
“What help?” I asked.
He raised his brow, “You are serious?”
“How?”
“That you gonna help me.” he said.
“I don’t know.” I said.
“Fine, let’s tidy up the sitting-room before your
aunt is back.” he said and walked out.
Phewww! im hungry.
I picked up the bucket with the mopping stick
and walked out too.
I just have to accept that im gonna become a
friend with a ghost and there’s nothing im
gonna do about it.
Maybe im a ghost too.
*
I got to the sitting-room and he was standing
close to the TV, staring at the picture frames on
the wall.
“Regina.” he muttered and I raised my brows.
“You know her?” I asked.
“Ofcourse. She was my classmate and a friend
to..” he paused and turned to me. “A friend to
who?” I asked.
“Elizabeth, younger sister to my girlfriend.” he
said.
I raised my brows with widened eyes, “Really?”
“She’s not dead.” he said.
“Why do you say so?” I asked and stepped
closer, not minding if he’s really a ghost.
“If she is, I’do see her spirit. I think she’s
captured.” he said.
“Captured? for three years now, by who?”
“I have no idea.” he said.
“But you are a ghost, you should know
everything.” I said.
“Not everything that I’ll know Isa.” he said.
I inhaled, “But what happened after you kissed
Elizabeth sister?”
He shook his head, “I don’t kow. I think I
collapsed or something.” he said.
“And what does your mind tell you?” I asked.
“I feel that I am not really dead. I feel that my
soul and body is being tied somewhere while
my spirit is left to wander about and that spirit
is I here.” he said.
“Don’t you think Juliet is behind this?” I said.
He looked into my eyes and I quickly looked
away.
“Yes I think. And I also think Elizabeth is
behind Regina’s lost.” he said.
I glanced at Regina’s pictures. She look so
beautiful, with such a pretty smile.
“So what do we do?” I asked.
“I’ve tried so many times to get into the house
of the Holloways but I couldn’t. Im bind from
passing into the house. I can’t get through.
When ever I try to get close, there’s like a wall
that holds me back. I can’t pass through.” he
said.
“Why? and who are the Holloways?” I asked.
“Juliet Holloway and Elizabeth Holloway.” he
said.
“Really?” I breathed.
They sure got a thing to do with his death and
Regina’s.
“Yes Isa and that is why I’ve been wishing to
meet someone who sees me. And now you
came, you are my hope Isabel. You have to
help me please.” he said.
“In what way?” I asked.
“In getting into the Holloways house and
finding my body.” he said.
I gasped and shook my head, “I can’t do such
Henry. It’s too dangerous for me.” I said.
“Isa please you’ve got to do it. You are my only
hope.” he begged.
“They could kill me or capture me too.” I said.
“They won’t get you. We gonna plan it perfectly
so well and nothing is gonna happen to you.”
he said.
I inhaled as so many thoughts raced through
my mind.
What im I really thinking of doing? Help a
ghost? How possible im I to do that?
Gosh I can’t do this.
“I can’t help you Henry, im sorry.” I said.
He grabbed my hand and a shiver of cold and
fright ran through me.
“Must you hold me!! oh God!” I shouted.
His hand felt so cold.
He quickly left it.“Im sorry.” he said.
I shifted away.
“Gosh! that scared me. Your hand is so cold.” I
said.
“Yeah im sorry.” he said.
“Henry I can’t help you.” I said.
“You have to..”
“Im hungry” I said and walked away towards
the kitchen.
“I feel your aunt on her way home.” he said.
“Then you should leave before she do.” I said
and finally walked into the kitchen.
Grabbing a plate of mayonnaise from the fridge,
I brought out sandwich, and walked to the
counter, took out a tray and placed the
sandwich on it, then poured the mayonnaise on
top.
Great I can do this.
“Not that way.” I heard his voice behind.
I turned to see him shook his head.
“Then what way?” I asked.
“You got it tho.” he giggled.
“Stop playing with me!” I snapped.
“I guess you are from a wealthy home.” he
said.
I cut from the sandwich to eat.
“My dad is Logan Dalton, ever heard of the
name?” I asked.
“Yeah. Regina do talk about him then, she said
he’s not really a good uncle to her and her
mom.” he said and I raised my brows.
“Really?”
“Yeah, if aunt Kiki got such a wealthy brother,
then she shouldn’t be living in this cracked
upstair nor in this part of new york.” he said.
“But dad.. dad said he was always nice to aunt
Kiki.” I said.
“Maybe.” he shrugged.
“You wanna eat?” I asked.
He chuckled, “Really? I’ve not tasted meals
nor water for five years now.” he said.
“Oh.. I almost forgot who you are.” I said then I
gasped when I recalled something.
“Guess what?” I yelled.
“I know already, you’ve not had your bathe.”
he said.
“Yeah and aunt Kiki would soon be home.” I
said and hurriedly finished up the remaining
sandwich.
“Go bathe, I’ll wash the dish.” he said.
“Thanks.” I said and ran off upstairs to my
bedroom.
Opening my door, I was shocked to see him
sitting on my bed, grinning.
“Henry! stop scaring me.” I said.
“I first youuuu.” he said with a wider grin.
I sighed, “So fast. You should, im not a ghost.”
I said and he giggled.
I walked to my closet and pulled the door open
to reveal my tons of eye catching clothes.
I pulled out a pink flair, short dress with a
turtleneck.
Then when I went for my undies, but recalled
Henry is there with me.
I turned to him.
“Okay Henry, you should leave. I wanna
bathe.” I said.
He smiled and pushed his hair back and licked
his lip.
“Alright.” he said and stood up from the bed.
“Don’t be scared when I disappear.” he said.
“I’ve seen you do.” I said.
“But you were frightened.” he said.
“Just go now, I’ve gotta bathe before aunt Kiki
gets back.” I said.
He smiled, “Fine, but Isa, damn you are so
beautiful.” he said.
I raised my brows at him, not knowing what to
say.
He pushed his hair back and blinked his eyes.
“Can we be friends?” he said.
I chuckled, “NO.” I said.
“Why? cos im a ghost?” he asked.
“Oh just leave Henry!” I half yelled.
He giggled, “Alright. See you soon.” he said
and before I could tell him not to come back
again, he vanished.
I screamed. So scary!!!!
He reappeared instantly.
“What?” he said.
“Ahhhh!” I screamed again.
He giggled, “Thought you ain’t scared of me
anymore!” he said.
“Go!” I yelled..
He smiled, then turned and headed to the door,
he got to the door and paused,
“Let me use this then.” he said and then
passed through the door.
I held my chest.
Well this one is quite better.
I sighed and turned back to my closet, picked
up a pink pantie and dropped it together with
the dress on the bed, then headed to the
bathroom.
While I had my bathe, I couldn’t keep my mind
off from the help Henry want from me…
Seriously Im so scared! I can’t go to the
Holloways or whatever! but my bewilderment
was on why I have to be seeing a ghost! do I
have any connection with ghosts!
Ohh.. but I remember..when I was a kid, I
sometimes wish to see a mermaid. Yes a
mermaid but not a ghost!
But can I really help Henry? I don’t know.. but
he’s so cute! and his smile. Arggh!
Im going insane!
This was all my dad’s fault!
I want to yell at him that he brought me to a
ghosts filled place!! but im sure Henry won’t let
me.
I sighed.
*
Few minutes later, I was out of the bathroom
with a towel wrapped around my body and a
smaller one tied around my head.
I walked to the small dressing table and
proceeded to cream my body.
After which I pulled into the pantie and the
dress.
Then walked back to the dressing table to
comb my hair.
“Let me help you.” Henry’s voice came behind
me.
I immediately turned to see him standing just
close behind me.
He twisted his mouth in that funny way and that
made me chuckle but then I frowned
immediately.
“Im not done dressing yet! Why can’t you
announce yourself before dashing into a
female’s bedroom!” I said.
He shrugged, “I knew you were done so I came
in.” he said.
“You what? how? were you watching me
bathe?!” I half yelled.
“No. I felt it.” he said.
I breathed out and turned back to the mirror.
Wait! he isn’t appearing in the mirror.
I glanced back and he was there, staring at
me.
“Huh?” he said.
I turned back to the mirror, he still wasn’t
appearing.
“Don’t be suprised. Ghosts don’t appear in the
mirror.” he said.
I swallowed, “Okay.”
“Your aunt is back.” he said, and just
immediately, I heard the sound of her car.
I stood up and made to the door. “You should
leave.”

Chapter 6
﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌
I opened the door and aunt Kiki jaw dropped
immediately.
She walked in, closing the door.
“Isa what did I hear?” she said.
“what aunt?” I asked, looking at her.
“That you sent Rose away when she came to
stay awhile with you.” she said.
I sighed. I’ve no idea how to explain.
“Aunt Kiki, you see I was angry then, I needed
to be alone.” I said.
“She said you were screaming.” I sighed. That
girl must be weird mouth. I’d wish to see her
right now and smatch those lips of hers.
What do I explain?
“I was–” I got cut short by Henry, appearing
beside me.
I breathed out. This guy’s so stubborn.
“Im not. Just tell her you hit your hand at the
stair rail, it was so painful.” he said.
I inhaled.
“Isa!” aunt Kiki called.
“Yes, I hit my hand on the stair rail, it was so
painful.” I lied.
She gasped as her eyes fell on my hands.
She came to take my hand and I let her.
“Where exactly Isa? it must have really hurt.
Did it bleed?” she asked, scanming my hands.
“No it didn’t bleed. Im fine now.” I said.
She smiled and touched my forehead.
“Are you feeling weak? do you wanna take
drugs?” she asked.
I glanced at Henry and he was smiling.
“The sitting-room is looking so sparkling.” she
said.
I looked around. Okay I recall not cleaning the
sitting-room cos I went straight to the kitchen to
eat.
I glanced at Henry.
He giggled.
“When did you do this?” I asked him before
realizing it.
He gasped and I tightened my lips in a shiver,
then turned to aunt Kiki.
“When did I do what?” she asked with raised
eyebrows.
My eyes fell on the new curtains
“When did you change the window curtains.” I
said.
“Oh that was yesterday.” she said.
“Alright.” I said and breathed out.
She walked pass and headed upstairs.
“I don’t have home lessons with the kids today,
im heading to church.” she said.
“Today isn’t sunday.” I said.
She laughed, “Oh Isabel, we don’t go to
church only on sundays, we have a midweek
worship with God. Go dress up. You’re going
with me.” she said.
I rolled my eyes.
“I don’t want to.” I said.
Henry giggled and I shot him a glare.
“Ofcourse you will. Go now.”
“I didn’t come with church clothes.” I said.
“Oh come with me then, I’ll give you one.” she
said and finally walked up.
I sighed.
“Great. It’s been ages I went to church.” he
said.
“Ofcourse, Spirits don’t go to church.” I said
then caught my breath.
Im so stupid. aunt Kiki might hear me.
He giggled.
“You musn’t talk when I do.”
“Why won’t I!” I said and gasped again,
clutching my hands to my mouth.
He shrugged, “Keep talking then.” he said.
“Isa! come on… hurry up, im almost done.”
aunt Kiki shouted from the upstair.
I rolled my eyes.
“I don’t like going to church. I rather be at the
beach with my friends.” I said.
“Oh I was so better than you. When I was
human. I never miss church.” he said.
“Even on a wednesday?” I said.
“Yeah, it’s called Midweek service. My dad was
a Deacon in St. Andrew’s Anglican church.” he
said.
“So where is he now? Your parent?” I asked.
He sighed, “I don’t know. I’ve not seen them
for five years now, ever since I became a
ghost.” he said.
“Really?” I asked.
“Yeah.” he said.
I breathed out and headed to the staircase.
He followed behind me.
“You should go, im going to dress up.” I said.
“I know.” he said.
“Then why following me!” I snapped.
“Shh your aunt is coming.” he said and I
inhaled.
When I turned she came out in flair flowery
gown that reached below her knees, a red hat
and red shoes.
She slapped her forehead at seeing me.
“You ain’t dressed yet Isabel. Come on, I’ll
give you a sweet looking dress.” she said and
took my hand, pulling me along.
*
When we entered her room, I saw a pink nice
gown laying on her bed with creamy hat and
flat shoes.
I turned back to check if Henry followed us but
he didn’t.
“You like it?” she asked.
“Yeah, it’s pretty but how did you get it.” I
asked.
She smiled.
“It was a dress I bought for Regina on the day
she got lost in the ocean. She loved pink just
like you do too, but after buying it and getting
home, I was welcomed with the horrifying news
of my daughter’s lost.” she said and a tear
almost dropped from my eyes but I blinked it
back in.
“But.. but I don’t wanna wear it, it’s meant for
her.” I said.
She smiled, “It’s okay, you just have it.” she
said.
I picked the dress with a smile, then walked to
the closet and hung it back in.
Then did same to the hat and shoes.
“Isa… why that?” she asked.
“It’s not mine aunt. It’s okay, im gonna search
through my closet for a dress.” I said.
She smiled and stared amazingly at me as I
walked out.
Gosh tears almost dropped from my eyes.
Such a painful news!
I really want to do this now, if not for anything
but for my cousin.
Maybe she isn’t really dead. Maybe the
Holloways captured her like Henry said.
I really wanna do this but im scared.
I pushed open my bedroom door to see Henry
standing beside my bed and a royal blue dress
with strap sleeves.
“Cool right? wear it.” he said.
“How did you find this dress? did you search
my closet?” I asked and picked up the dress.
It’s cool for it.
“Yeah.. Didn’t want you stressing yourself.” he
said.
“Well thanks,” then I paused and narrowed my
eyes at him.
“Did you stare at my undies!?” I asked him.
He twisted his lips.
“Maybe a little.” he said.
I raised my brows,.“What!?”
“I never wanted to but my stupid eyes went
there. Okay I apologise.” he said.
I rolled my eyes and headed to the bathroom.
“I don’t wanna find you still here when im out.”
I said and slammed the bathroom door shut.
Crazy!
*
*
I came out of the bathroom in my towels, and
Thank goodness, he wasn’t in.
I dressed up and combed my hair to fall over
my shoulders. Then I applied a little mascara
and pink lipgloss.
Then slide my feet into my cute yellow sandals.
I picked up my yellow purse and my phone and
just as I was about going for the door, he
appeared in.
“Woah!” he breathed out, staring at me.
“What?” I asked.
“You are amazingly beautiful.” he said.
“Thanks.” I said and grabbed the doorknob.
“Can I come with you?” he asked.
“No.” I snapped.
He smiled, “Alright, bye. Pray for me.” he said.
“You don’t expect me to pray for a ghost.” I
said.
“Oh that was harsh Isa.” he said.
“Im going, gonna pray for you tho.” I said and
chuckled.
He smiled.
He’s so handsome.
“Isa, who are you talking with?” I heard aunt
Kiki’s voice on the door.
I gasped and opened the door to see her now
clutching a red handbag.
“No one aunt. I was on a phone call.” I
said,“with my girlfriend.” I added.
She smiled, “One of them that your dad don’t
want you with?” she asked.
“Kinda.” I said and she smiled.
“Let’s go.” she said and turned.
I glanced back to see Henry smile.
“Bye.” he said, smiling.
“Yeah.” I mumbled and walked out, shutting
the door.

(at church)
﹏﹏﹏﹏
Praise my soul, the King of heaven..
﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌
The hymn played as aunt Kiki aunt and I
entered the large church with long red carpet
from the entrance door up to the alter.
aunt Kiki sat at an empty pew and I did beside
her.
When the hymn was over and the second hymn
was called, I looked behind to see Henry,
sitting on the pew behind ours, smiling at me.
Somehow, I knew he was gonna come.
But wait? I thought ghosts should be scared of
being in the church?
I turned back to watch the choristers, singing.
Im not gonna act like he’s here..
*
*
*
“Wow great! today’s midweek service was
awesome. Right Isa?” aunt Kiki asked as we
entered the sitting-room.
“Maybe.” I said with a roll of my eyes and
walked up into my room.
Im exhausted.
I wonder how Henry disappeared.
I changed into a bomshort and singlet, then
layed on my bed to go through my phone.
Just then my window curtains blew and I turned
to see Henry standing at the window.
He smiled.
“How was church?” he asked.
I rolled my eyes, “Like you weren’t there. huh!”
He smiled..“Sure.”
“I thought ghosts doesn’t go to church.” I said.
He shrugged, “I don’t think. I did today and
nothing happened.” he said.
“So tell me Isa, have you made up your mind?”
“About what?” I asked.
“About helping me and your cousin as well.” he
said.
I inhaled.
“Henry, It’s so hard for me to accept. I know I
wish to help you find yourself, your body and im
sure it’ll be in the Holloways but me going
there, I don’t wish to meet such people.” I said.
He came forward and tried to hold me again but
I backed away.
“Don’t. Your hand is so cold.” I said.
He sighed, “If you don’t help me Isa, then im
lost forever. I would never find out what really
happened to me and also my parents.” he said.
I sighed.
“Also your cousin, Regina. Im sure she’s not
dead. You have to help us all.” he said.
I stared at him, his sadness was really melting
my heart.
“But im not so strong to do this.” I said.
“You are Isa, just believe that you are. You can
do it.” he said.
I sighd, “Even if I want to, then I have to let my
aunt know about it..I have to open up to her.” I
said.
“It’s okay.” he said and smiled sweetly at me,
staring deeply at me.
“What?” I asked.
“Just staring at you, that’s all.” he said.
“Then don’t. That’s pretty scary.” I said.
He widened his smile, “You are so beautiful
Isa.” he said and tried to touch my hair.
“Don’t!” I hurled.
He giggled.
“Isa” I heard aunt Kiki’s call me at the door.
I sighed.
“Another coming lie.” Henry said.
“You’ve been making m–” but he cut me short.
“You stop talking.”
I sighed.
Im sure going to tell her anyways.
He smiled. “She might not believe you.” he
said.
Im not gonna tell her now.
“When then?” he asked.
When I’ve made up my mind to.
I walked to the door and opened it.
She smiled, “Heard you talking, you were on a
phone call right?” she asked.
“Yeah” I lied.
“Well wanna tell you that dinner is ready.” she
said.
“Alright.” I said, then glanced at Henry before
walking out and closing the door.

Chapter 7
﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌
(Hours later)
I had just finished having my night shower and
pulling into my pajamas when Henry appeared
in.
After I went downstairs with aunt Kiki to have
dinner, he hadn’t showed up but here he is
again, to trouble me.
“I ain’t troubling you, im only begging you to
help me out here.” he said.
“I told you not to be reading my mind.” I barked
at him.
“You shouldn’t let your voice be loud or your
aunt might hear you and you’ll end up telling
her another lie.” he said.
“You cause them all.” I said.
He shrugged, “I know.”
He dropped his red guitar beside me.
I felt like touching but a crazy thought came in.
He chuckled, “It won’t disappear. It’s my
bestfriend. When I fell inlove with the guitar and
wanted to have it so much, I begged the seller
not sell it out that im gonna do everything I can
to bring him the money the next day. When he
finally accepted, I ran home and had to borrow
from my mother, then after I bought it, I gave
her back the money from playing the guitar in
the high streets all day though I didn’t complete
the money.” he said.
“Really?” I said.
“Yeah.”
“Can you play me the song, ‘Once upon a river
flow’” I said.
He chuckled, “Maybe I should play, ‘London
Bridge’”
I laughed.
“Okay, play me my favourite song, the one I
wanted to record but you didn’t let me.” I said.
He smiled, “You know why I didn’t let you, cos
if you do, I won’t appear in the video and even
if you record only my voice, you won’t hear it
after.” he said.
I inhaled. Oh really.
“Yeah, so im gonna play it only if you promise
me this.” he said.
I knew already.
“Im not gonna promise you that, I need to think
about it, give me awhile.” I said.
He giggled, “Not that, I mean promise me you
not gonna try to record it.”
I chuckled.
“Ah alright.”
“Can I sit beside you?” he asked.
I shifted a bit away.
“Yeah.” I said.
“but you shifted away.”
“Not really.”
“Yeah you did.” he said and sat down, his feet
still wasn’t touching the floor.
He took his guitar and played few strings. Then
he began.
﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏
Bittersweet me…
Inperfect songs…
But hey, Im not minding at all.
I learn from every mistakes I do..
You don’t like me, there’s someone else that
do.
Im not perfect, baby you are not too.
But im so happy to be me all tho.
They say im little but I don’t mind at all.
They say im not better than they all,
oh yeah.
Im just trying to be me.
Never wanna be anybody but me….
……
﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌
“Why do you love the song, it ain’t so sweet?”
he asked after he was done.
I shrugged, “I guess cos it talks about yourself,
about who you really are.” I said.
“Yeah.” he said.
“How do you get the inspirations?” I asked him.
“Sometimes when im asleep, sometimes when
im playing the guitar, at times when im eating,
running or learning in class.” he said.
Really.
“Yeah.”
“I think I gotta sleep.” I said.
“Alright.” he said.
“You should leave.” I said.
He shrugged and got up from the bed.
I stared at him, waiting for him to go but he
wasn’t acting like he’s about to leave.
“Henry what are you still waiting for?”
“Are you scared to sleep while im here?”
“Don’t you sleep!” I asked.
“No.” he said.
I sighed and pulled the duvet over my body.
“Can I tell you something Isa?” he said.
“What’s it?” I asked.
“That.. I I..Like you alot.” he said.
“You can’t like me, you are a ghost.” I said.
“It doesn’t matter. I like you Isa.” he
reapeated.
Okay. I’ve gotta sleep.
“Goodnight Isa.” he said.
“Oh better.” I said. He disappeared, only for me
to hear him minutes later, singing outside.
﹏﹏
Everbody’s looking for that something..
Something that makes it all..complete.
You find it in the strange places,.
Places you never knew it could be..
Some found it in the face of their children
Some found it in.. their lover’s eyes.
You can’t deny the joy it brings…
When you found that special thing…
You’re flying without wings….
﹌﹌﹌﹌
I smiled..
Lovely.
I fell asleep.
*
*
*
I woke up by the repeat calling of my name by
a very weak voice.
I was astonished to see it was Henry.
His hair scattered to his face in a crazy way
and I wondered why.
His eyes were dull and he rested his back on
my closet with his guitar in his hand.
“What happened?” I asked, sitting up.
“I don’t know. I felt something like electric
shock last night. Like my body was being
touched by something very harmful. I feel
weak. I have to get to my body.” he said.
I swallowed, “Gosh, what do we do?” I asked,
frightened.
“You’ve got to help me Isa. Find my body,
release my soul.” he said.
“How im I gonna do this?” I asked.
“The Holloways.” he said.
“The Holloways!!” I sighed.
“The Holloways.” he repeated, then slumped
down.
I rushed to him but before I could, he
disappeared. Like a smoke.
That is not the way he use to disappear! and
his guitar didn’t go with him.
Oh my God, Henry!
“Henry!!!!” I screamed out loud and fell on my
knees.
“Henry!!!!. Henry!!” I cried.
“Isabel! Isabel Are you alright?” I heard aunt
Kiki’s voice. Then followed by the opening of
the door.
She rushed in, to me.
“Isabel what’s the matter?” she got down and
hugged me tightly.
“Henry..” I cried.
“Henry? who’s Henry?” she said.
“Henry. I have to find Henry.” I cried.
“Oh my God Isabel, you are scaring the hell
outta me dear child. Who is Henry?”
*
*
*
(Minutes later)
“He’s a ghost.”
“A ghost!?”
“Yes. He’s been with me since yesterday but I
met him the the very day I came here while he
was singing in the night. He was the one who
made me send Rose away. He’s the one I was
always talking to while I tell you I was on a
phone call.” I said then I took her hands with
tears in my eyes.


“The night I first heard him singing, I loved his
songs, his songs, he’s so cute. He was sitting
just right at the next house window. I had no
idea he was a ghost… but when he came to me
I found out, I was damn scared at first but now
im not. He needs my help aunt, I need to get to
the Holloways.”
She blinked her eyes with shock, “Isa, don’t
talk about the Holloways, they are the family of
Elizabeth. They are evil, they will hurt you.”
“I have to go aunt. I need to save Henry and
save my niece, Regina too.”
She gasped, “Regina? What do you mean?”
“Henry said that she isn’t dead. That the
Holloways are holding her captive. Aunt I have
to do this. Im the only one who sees Henry and
there’s a reason and this is the reason.” I said.
She cupped my cheek in her palm.
I can see the fear in her eyes just like she can
see mine too.
“Isabel, this was never what I and your dad
planned for your indoor holiday.” she said.
“I know but im glad im here, im gonna fight for
my niece and for Henry. I don’t care how I do it
but im gonna get into there and release them.” I
said.
She smiled as tears dropped from her eyes.
“Then Im gonna go with you.” she said.
I gasped, “Aunt.”
“Yeah.” she said and hugged me.

Henry’s POV
﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌
Im weak… im being tied down in place. In this
glass coldy cage.
The smoke.. the fire, the sand.
I need someone to take them away.
I feel so weak.. I can’t use my ghost power.
Im being paused like a statue.
I can’t move, I can’t talk.
Im being pinned down.
Ohh Isabel.. I need you here.
You’ve gotta save me..
Before I fade away.
The long door opened and she walked in.
Juliet Holloways.
In a black long robe with a red thin belt tied
around the stomache.
Her blue eyes peering into mine as she let out
a loud mockery laugh.
“Ohh dearest.. Such a long time.” she said and
touched her black hair which fell to her
shoulders.
“You never thought I could get you isn’t it?”
she smiled. “Oh great I did. I caught you. I did,
now I have you and your body with me. Isn’t
that pleasant? ohh yeah it is. Ha ha ha ha ha
ha.” she laughed out horiffically, turned and
walked out, slamming shut the long door.
I breathed out..

Chapter 8 (Semi-finale)
﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌
Isa’s POV
﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌
The first three Police led the front with their
guns while aunt Kiki and I followed in the
middle then the two other police were behind
us.
“I think the house got no cameras.” the second
police at the front whispered.
I sighed. I really didn’t want the police getting
involved in this. I had wanted to do this the way
I have planned but aunt Kiki insisted on
involving the police.
The three police ran to the wall of the house
while the two others ran to the other side.
I glanced at aunt Kiki and she nodded and
gave me an assured and hopeful smile, then
joined the other two.
I inhaled and walked to the door of the
Holloways, then rang the doorbell.
I waited with beating heart.
In few seconds, the door was opened by a girl
I guess would be my age mate.
Elizabeth I guess.
I breathed in, appearing bold.
She has long black hair that fell to her shoulder
and wore a blue trouser and purple top.
“Goodmorning.” I said.
“Who are you?” she threw the question.
I smiled, “Im a new neighbour, my name is
Isabel, im just trying to make friends, can I
come in if you don’t mind?”
She stared at me, I guess she was trying to
look into my eyes but I smiled and looked
down.
“Right, come in.” she said and let the door
open for me.
I pushed in, and just immediately the police
men pushed in too with aunt Kiki.
“Your hands up!!” a police man commanded.
She gasped and with evil monsterious eyes at
me, “Juliet!!!!” she screamed.
Just immediately, Juliet landed like a wind,
dressed in a black robe.
The police backed away in fright but I didn’t. Im
determined to get Henry and also get my
cousin.
“How dare you come in here.” Juliet hurled with
her evil blue eyes on me and then to the rest.
“I need my friends.” I said.
“Ha ha ha ha.” she laughed out and drew
nearer to me and I was so bold enough not to
move back.
“I want my daughter. Let me have my daughter
back you witch!” aunt Kiki yelled beside me.
“Silence!” Juliet hurled. “I don’t have your
daughter and I do not have your friends.” she
said.
“You do! You have Regina and you have
Henry!” I yelled.
She moved back with an evil smile, “Oh
silence.” she said.
“I want my daughter Juliet!” aunt Kiki said.
She smiled and looked at the police men, said
a few enchant and just then a glass cage
appeared and formed around them and once
they cage formed, they all iced.
I got frightened and aunt Kiki held my hand.
Juliet laughed…. her sister followed.
“What do you think you can do to me?” she
said.
I breathed out, “I do not wish to do anything to
you, All I want is to have my friends back.” I
said.
“You are not gonna have them but join them as
well.” she said.
aunt Kiki tightened her grip on mine.
I know she’s scared but it’s okay .
My eyes quickly scanned the large sitting-room
and I found a tiny door, then another large door
and the curved staircase.
“Tell me Elizabeth, what do we do to this two?”
she asked her sister.
“Cage them like the police forever…Make them
melt like an ice do.” Elizabeth said.
Juliet laughed, “No. I would take them to their
beloved friends.” she said.
“Okay sister, whatever you say.” Elizabeth
said.
Juliet smiled at me.
“Do you wish to see your friends?” she said.
“I don’t only wish for it, I’ll have them back!” I
said.
She smiled, then turned to aunt Kiki.
I thought she was about saying something but
she stretched out your hands, moved her
fingers and my aunt screamed and fell on her
knees. I dashed to the small door and pushed
in with force..
I felt a force following me.
I ran so hard through the dark corridor..
It was pitch dark, I can’t see anything, but I
kept running, trying to find another corner.. but
there was none, just then I hit my head on a
hard surface, a wall. I screamed in pain and
slumped down.
“Oh well well well.. great. I caught ya.” I heard
Juliet’s faint voice, then her laugh before I
finally passed out.
*

I opened my eyes to see myself held to the wall
with my hands side by side in handcuffs like im
being crucified.
I winced in pain..
Looking up, I saw the long glass cage in my
front.
I gasped when I saw Henry in there.
His face was down… His body tied.
There was a small pot of little burning fire but
much smoke just before the cage… but very
close to the cage.
“Henry.” I called but my voice wasn’t so loud. I
couldn’t even hear it.
“Henry!” I called louder.. now I think I heard it
but he didn’t.
“Henry!!” I shouted with all my strength and
gasped for breath… waiting for him to look up
but he didn’t.
I blinked as tears rolled down my eyes.
How im I gonna get away from this handcuff.
I need to save you Henry. I need to save you.
Please look up and tell me what to do.
Henryyy
But he wasn’t responding.
He seem so weak.. too weak.
What do I do?
I looked around and there is nothing I could get
hold off.
They are all so far from me.
No window, just a long door very far away.
I sighed.
Is there hope?
I could only watch him… with tears.
The door flung open and Juliet walked in, in her
black long robe.
The door automatically closed back.
“Ohh pleasant pleasant. You are awake.This is
so great. So you can actually see him, Isabel.
Tellme, are you a sorceress?” she said coming
closer to me.
I ignored her, my mind only focused on how to
get out of this handcuff.
“Ohhh tell me Isabel.” she said.
I didn’t answer.
“Ohh you don’t wanna answer me, great great.”
she said then laughed.
She turned to Henry.
“He is having a good time right?”
I ignored.
She moved back and fumed, “Answer me!!”
she hurled and a great painful force raced
through me and I screamed.
“Ahhhh!”
“Answer me, who are you!” she hurled.
The painful force still held me and I was
screaming.
wild winds blew through her black hair and she
stretched out her hand and a ball of fire formed
on her palms.
“Fee ere gue ne eta” she said and then threw
the ball of fire close to my feet, it spread in
semi-circle around my feet.
The heat wasn’t so strong at first but then at
each passing minute, the flame rised more and
the heat and burn escalated.
I groaned in pains.
“Who are you Isabel or you are gonna get
burnt in this rising flame!” she said.
I winced, feeling so thirsty. My throat
completely dry and sour.
“Answer me!” she hurled.
“Isabel Dalton..” I said.
She moved backwards, “Who is your mother!”
she yelled.
“I don’t know. I grew up without her.” I said.
“Lies!” she thundered and raised her hands to
the air and the flames rised more….
I cried out..
The heat of the fire was burning me.
“Who is your mother!!” she roared.
“I. Have. No. Idea.” I said.
“Lies!! you fool!” she hurled and raised up her
hands more higher and the flames of the fire
increased more.
I screamed in burning pains as hot tears
poured down my eyes.. my heart pounding but
my breath ceasing.
She held it up for a very long time then
tightening her fist, the flames began going
down..
And when she brought down her hands, the fire
went off.
I breathed out.
She glanced at Henry who’s head still was
down.
Then she turned back to me just immediately.
“You are the daughter… of Ellie.” she said.
I need water.
“Ellie..Ellie, you are the daughter of Ellie!!.”
she yelled.
“I don’t know my mother. I don’t even know her
name.” I said.
“She betrayed us! She betrayed my mother!
She took what rightfully belonged to my mother!
the crystal!” she yelled.
Her blue eyes turning black..
It’s too scary, I shut my eyes.
“She gave it to you… let me have it!” she said.
“I don’t know what you are talking about.” I
said, confused.
“Finally it’s you! I found you. I foud the
crystal.” she said and began coming nearer
with a wicked smile.
aunt Kiki’s POV
﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌
Im pinned down on the floor.
I can’t move.
I wonder if Isa is alright. God I hope so.
Lord, I need you to come to our rescue.
I need you end this all right now. Save us.
Help me get my daughter, my niece and Henry.
“Just shut up!” Elizabeth’s voice barked as she
came down from the staircase.
“How could you and your sister take my
daughter! How could you.” I cried.
“She deserves it! She won the painting
competition when it was supposed to be me! I
begged her to let me win. She was perfect and
I wanted to make my mom and my sister proud
of me too, but she refused. She won the
painting game. She betrayed me!” she barked.
“It was a competition. How could she withdraw
for you to win. If you had put in more effort, you
would have won Elizabeth.” I wept.
“I don’t care!! im never gonna let her go! and
you are going to join her and the rest of them
as well!” she hurled before walking away.
I sighed.
Just then, a loud scream echoed and I gasped.
“Isabel!!!!” I screamed.
A force pulled me down.
I gasped, realizing i’ve been released.
I got up and heard cracking sounds behind.
I turned to see the glass cage breaking, the ice
which pinned the police men all melted and the
police men rushed out, gasping and looking
about in confusion.
“What happened?” one asked.
“Let’s find my niece!” I said and ran towards
the staircase,..
The scream came from the upstairs.
The police ran behind me.
