ALIYA AND THE WITCH SYNDICATE
EPISODE 10
WRITTEN BY REMI THE WRITER

"But we could barely see what is coming our way, I am too young to d!e,

We will see her when she comes back by herself let's go back inside".

They were about to take their live, but what they saw made them drop their jaws in shock

From afar, multiple candles flickered, alighted  by the hands of the seniors,

 Aliya and Sammy, quickly hid themselves behind a nearby tree,

As they watch Dorcas approached the illuminated gathering. 

She exchanged greetings with them, blending in their mists, as they danced with the candle flames. 

And before Sammy and Aliya could grasp the unfolding enigma, they  had already vanished into thin air.

"...a...a...liya!! Did you see that?" Sammy stammered, her words stumbled over each other as she managed to gather her wits.

Both girls took to their heels, racing back to their dorm, shutting the door behind with their hearts beating so fast, 

They feared they might burst from their chests.

 "Are we both drunk? Or what happened a while ago?" Sammy queried Aliya, tears already evident in her eyes.

"I don't understand. I know we missed Dorcas the other time, but we regained our tracks back with her...,

Those seniors too were there. They all disappeared in front of us," 

Aliya replied, confusion and fear evident in her voice.

As both girls debated the whole issue, Aliya's eyes went to the wall clock.

 It was already 11:30 PM. With a sense of urgency, Aliya persuaded Sammy that they should both go to bed to avoid being pun!shed by the prefect for waking up late. 

And as for Dorcas, she needed to explain herself better for possessing such an unusual ability with the prefects.

The next day, Aliya and Sammy were surprised at the absence of Dorcas, her bed was empty, no sign of her.

"She didn't sleep here?" Sammy retorted.

"Indeed, Dorcas isn't our friend anymore; she's a total stranger to us," Aliya chimed in, shaking her head in disgust.

As the two girls lamented, they prepared for the day's lessons, rushing to their various classes. 

The Pelican Girls High School bell rang for the midday break, causing the school to buzz with boisterous activity. 

Both senior and junior girls huddled in clusters, sharing secrets and gossip.

Aliya and Sammy spotted each other at break time, engaging in the girly gists.

 "Hey babe, what's up with the long face? Why are you sad?" Aliya noticed Sammy's sad countenance while approaching her.

"...There's bad news, and I'm sorry I need to share it with you," Sammy replied, casting her gaze to the ground, trying not to meet Aliya's eyes.

"What happened? Have you seen Dorcas yet? What did she say? Talk to me, babe," Aliya retorted, curiosity evident in both her face and tone.

"I didn't mean for it to happen,  but it's for the best".

"You didn't mean for what to happen? am lost....".

 Sammy continued with her eyes already evident with tears.

A school where we only eat breakfast, rarely eat lunch, and we don't eat dinner,"

 Sammy's eyes finally met with Aliya's.

 "And now our best friend has been acting weird since she became one of the school prefects, disappearing into thin air, with those èvil girls...."

"But I still don't get it. What's wrong? Did the prefects threaten you or what?

 You're scaring me with what you're saying," Aliya queried promptly.

Before Aliya knew what was happening, Sammy had already thrown herself on her, hugging her so tight, weeping profusely.

 "My parents are withdrawing me from Pelican Girls High School. We won't be seeing each other after the holidays.

 I'm going to miss you so much. I won't be here any longer; my parents have already agreed to change my school..."

Aliya widened her eyeballs, tears, trickled down Aliya's face.

 "What? I don't understand? How? When?" she retorted, her voice breaking with the weight of her emotions. 

The tears streamed her eyes like unrelenting tears with an  expression of sorrow.

"You're leaving so soon, but what about Dorcas? She needs us so badly. 

We need to help her. I can't fight this on my own," Aliya continued, her words glitched with the anticipation of tèars.

Sammy's  eyes were also brimming with tears, 

 "I can't endure any longer, the starvåtion, the fat girls, seeing dorcas turning her backs on us...". 

Aliya shook her head, trying to make sense of it all. 

"Dorcas need both of us.... she's caught up in something bigger than us.

 Those seniors, the way they disappeared... it's not normal. We have to find out what's happening."

"No....., this isn't my battle to fight, it's yours now...aliya....

Evil 1 ……………………………….. Ruth walked along the pedestrian way with bags hanging from her hands. She dragged her tired feet with her mind focused on reaching her destination; her home. She’d gone out as usual to sample some textile materials to people and hoped they would buy. That was her business and the family depended majorly on the income from it. Her husband, Tunde, had become almost dependent since after losing his job in a bottling company some years back. Since then, he had refused fo seek for a permanent employment and only engaged in ‘adhoc’ employments which came once in a while. Sadly, she made no sales that day after trekking around the town under the scorching sun. As she walked carrying her bags of textile materials and hoping to get home before her tired legs would give way, a mad man walked briskly past her. It was not a thing to worry about as mad people were common sights around the town. But after taking a few steps forward, the mad man ran back and tapped her on the s...

THE BLUE RIVER (Destiny Calls) Episode 5 : :Written by #Bright_Daniel : Mr Rain stared at Ena suspiciously because the look on her face seemed more like she knew someone who already knows about the blue river, so he said with a very dangerous voice, “Ena? Have you told anybody about what you just told me or do you know anybody that already knows about the river?” “No, sir” Ena shook her head negatively. “Not at all, sir” “Good” Mr Rain picked his phone in her presence, placed it on his ear and said, “Get my chopper (helicopter) ready. We are leaving now” he dropped the call then looked at Ena again. “Remind me the location of the river again” “In the forest of Ezai, sixty degree North” Ena replied. “Good” he stepped out of the office followed by Ena whose heart began to beat for an innocent girl Sarah coz her boss can go extra mile to get or know whosoever he wonna know. *** At th...

Harmony slowed down, scanning the area. “Bros Harmony, this surprise birthday for Men only? ” Liam asked for the umpteenth time. Harmony grinned, keeping his eyes ahead. “Liam, I already told you. A friend is throwing me a birthday celebration. They insisted on doing something special.” " Special Friends! You don join cult?" Harmony chuckled. “Special friends, man. I was surprised too, but now that we’re here, let’s just stop by. It’ll be quick.” Liam checked the time on his phone. “It’s late, Harmony. Almost 8:30 p.m.” “I promise, we won’t stay long,” Harmony said, parking the car and stepping out. Reluctantly, Liam followed his brother inside the hall. As they entered, the vibrant atmosphere greeted them...laughter, music, and the low buzz of conversations. In the crowd, they spotted Tomike. Tomike’s face lit up when she saw Harmony. She r...
