Killing booth

JANE'S POV."Again!" I shrieked. It's always the last day of each month, It's been almost a year since this has been occurring, and I found myself here again. It was a dark room with a fireplace serving as the only source of light. Silence filled the room, she would be here soon I thought.Thinking out loud, I said let's get over this scene as it has happened too many times. Before I could think further, she came in wearing a little grin and calling my name. I whimpered and shivered but could not utter a sentence, this lady has been my worst nightmare, showing me a glimpse of the future every last day of each month.Without uttering a word, she moved closer, I could see her but it was blurry, she whispered "Let it burn" into my ears, I felt cold and wondered who the next victim was gonna be. Dave died the previous day from an asthma attack which everyone thought but I knew it wasn't. How could I tell anyone that I could see their deaths without sounding delusional?"I'm crazy, this i

It's been a month and a couple of days since the nightmares seized, I was glad but frightened at the same time. No one I knew died since Mr. Beck recovered last month. "Could the old hag have repented or she suddenly hates feasting on poor humans souls?" I couldn't help but wonder. Well, I needed a rest from the nightmares, I could remember a total of 10 people losing their lives as a result of the usual ritual done by the old hag monthly.Monday was, here again, surprisingly I had a good feeling about today. Kate and I bonded after Mr. Beck's incident. We had a sleepover at her place and it was a fun time. Our friendship was blooming, I never mentioned the nightmare to her because I didn't want her to be scared. On the brighter side, life seems better for now."Hi Lizzy," I said excitedly as I rushed down the stairs, she looked at me with a smirk probably wondering why I was elated. I took a glance at myself in the mirror in the hallway. I'm average height, with greenish eyes, slim

"Hey, babes" Kate screamed. It was Tuesday and Nick and I slept in the lab the previous night. When the janitor came in to open the door, we hid and left the lab after he had gone out. I took a shower at the girl's restroom and got a toothbrush from Nick. I guess Nick went home because I hadn't seen him in class. "Hi bestie," I said surprisingly. I was showing some affection towards Kate, I guess I have become softer. Kate told me of how her Dad and Mum surprised her with a pre-birthday gift by giving her a car. I showed genuine happiness towards her. I was a Lil bit worried about Nick maybe not a Lil but I was really worried. We had a couple of tests during school hours, it was time to go home and I was packing my books, Nick walked up to me."Where have you been?" I asked genuinely worried. Kate took the initiative to let us talk and left for home. He looked at me and I remembered our kiss and blushed. "You look pink" he stated. I looked away and tried to remain calm. He offered to

Trying desperately hard not to believe the words of my Principal, I couldn't help but see the physical similarities between her and myself. We looked alike no doubt but different characters, I could bet on that because no matter what the circumstances were I would not leave the child that I gave birth to without casting care on her. Well, it became crystal clear that anybody could be a mother but a Mum is someone who would find all means to take care of you. My Dad was my Mum as well because he took it upon himself to give me both motherly and fatherly love and attention. Getting back to class after receiving one of the greatest shocks of my life, I sat in my seat next to Kate. I could feel Kate's eyes on me expecting an explanation for the sudden meeting I had with the Principal. I couldn't utter a word because I was trying so hard to process the latest development that has just unfolded right before my eyes. I've always wanted to feel my mother's love but I always acted unbothered

NICK'S POV"Nick get up, you would be late for school" my nanny woke me up. Being the best basketballer was not an easy feat but it has helped me with being popular and loved by most girls. I had this weird dream about a girl who told me her name was Pearl. It was a bit disturbing but I could not let go of the connection I felt towards her in the dream. "Well, it's a dream," I said to myself. In case you do not know me I am Nicholas Santos, you can call me Nick, the guy of every girl's dream.Mondays were not as exciting as every other day, I could say the best time of the week is always Saturdays and I'm sure you can relate. I am the only child of the business moguls Sandra and Nicholas Snr. Yes, that's right I was named after my father. My parents were out of the country on a business trip, and for months now I haven't seen them. It was always one business trip or the other and they never found the time to be there physically for me. Well, I've grown accustomed to this but it doesn'
