"Who do you think can do this to Wenda?" Jaeleah asked "Obviously the one trying to kill my mom. I'm going to suck his blood dry by the time I lay my hands on him" Amber gnashed her teeth and she clenched hard her fist."I think you two can go to the hospital. Amber has class to attend so do I." Miss Peyton said"It's fine, you can go ahead. Thanks for your help" Maya said and left with Yana and Jaeleah."Hey...........""I'm so........" Miss Peyton's and Amber's words collided and they smiled and Amber hugged her."I'm sorry I didn't see things from your perspective. I would have done worst if I was in your shoes""Thank you for forgiving me" She said but Amber broke free from the hug with a serious look on her face."Who told you I've forgiven you?" She had a serious look on her face that confused Miss Peyton."What? Then what's all these about?""I need a bottle of wine and chips of plantain at night before you can be forgiven" She teased and they both laughed out loud."I'll go p
"Who are you suspecting, Peyton?" Yana asked and brought out a pen and her jotter but she kept mute for some seconds."Talk, Peyton. Don't keep us in silence" Maya said"I can't talk here. Let me see you in private Maya" She said, staring at AmberThey both went to the side of the ward, "What is this about?""I'm suspecting Amber's boyfriend""Why?" Her look changed and she crossed get arms against her chest."I saw him plotting something with Ignacio, Iris and a strange woman and I couldn't hear what they were saying except for Iris and it was threatening""Does she knows about this? I mean Amber""No, I can't tell her. You know how she is, she is going to think I'm suspecting every guy she loves""Of course, that's what you're doing" Maya snapped."Pardon? What do you mean by that?" Miss Peyton retorted"She had made her decision, why question it? Why suspect the ones she loves?""Because they are suspicious!" She yelled, making Amber, Jaeleah and Yana look in their direction."Why
"I'll be back to check up on you, Wenda" Miss Peyton bent over to Kiss her on the forehead."So you were going to leave me here? I'm going with you. The ritual has to be performed today, Maya needs reason to trust you again""At the expense of your life? I'd rather have her hate on me for the rest of her life""No. I just want my friend to be happy. No more talks, let's go" She said and disconnected the drip from her hand and they all went to the reception."Has she been discharged?" Amber asked as she noticed Wenda's presence"No, she insisted the ritual be done today. She's just like you, Amber" Miss Peyton teased and Amber chuckled.Amber, Wenda and Miss Peyton boarded a taxi while the others went with Maya. They all arrived at the school gate the same time and Miss Peyton sprinted Wenda to her room because she didn't want to be spotted by Ignacio or Adrian."Why would you sprint with someone who is still weak?" Maya's voice was harsh as she walked into the room"She wasn't complai
Maya's body kept shaking vigorously but she managed to tap her left hand and Jaeleah pulled Wenda away while Amber pulled Maya close to her chest.Wenda fell to the ground, panting and Miss Peyton rushed to her to help, "It's okay, now. I'm here now, Wenda" she said, hugging her close to her chest.Maya also was panting hard, "Mom! Mom? Open your eyes, mom" Amber patted her face slightly."What's wrong with her?" Miss Peyton asked and moved closer to them."I don't know, she wouldn't open her eyes" Amber said in a shaky voice"It's fine, Amber. She's going to be fine" Maya suddenly sneezed and jerked, opened her eyes slowly, "Am I dead?""Were you planning on leaving me? You should have tapped out earlier" a tear dropped down Amber's cheek."I'm sorry. How is Wenda?""I'm fine""What happened in the dream?" Jaeleah asked"It was going to show me how the whole issue started. It happened nineteen years ago after I graduated from college and told Kyle how I felt. He told me how Jenna ha
"I heard you once worked for the FBI, why do you intend going against them now?""Are you going to help me or not?""Sure, I'll help you but you have to tell me why. I won't have you soil my name in the mud""They are the reason why my family is dead and I want to see all those involved rot in jail""Can you please be more detailed?" She asked, taking some steps away from him."I guess you don't need me, I'll just keep mute""I already promised to help you so what's with the attitude?" She turned back to him, her face had gone red"You don't trust me. You think I'm a bad guy, well, everyone does so I'll just remain a bad guy.""Aiden. I don't know the kind of past you had but you have to trust me on this. I'm a professional advocate of the law, I can't soil my hand in anything that is against the law so you have to tell me everything in detail so I can help you. You can even brief it, I just need to know why you want to go against the people you once worked with" she approached him, h
After some minutes, the two women were ready and a taxi was already waiting for them at the gate. Liza locked the door and went to Maya in the car."Start the ride" Liza said and the man revved the car into motion and drove to Yana's house.When they got to Yana's house, the doctor and nurse were there too so they headed to Blue Pack immediately."How are you feeling now, Maya?" Yana asked as she revved the car."I'm fine now, nothing to worry about"Soon, they arrived at the school gate and stepped out of the car. As soon as Jaeleah scented them, she approached them and followed them to the Grand Hall, Miss Peyton's room. Liza knocked softly on the door."Come in" The door flung open and the crew walked in."You came prepared, didn't you? How are you doing now?" Wenda turned to Maya"I'm feeling great now, you?""I'm better too""I guess we should start the ritual then" Wenda suggested"Aren't you going for class, Peyton?" Yana asked"No, I already put another instructor in charge"
"How would we get her out in this condition? Nobody should know about this" Yana panicked"Really? Her life is at stake and you think nobody should know about it? I'll do anything to protect her, she's still the one my brother loved genuinely", Peyton said, concerned"I expect you to be the one trying to protect the school name, I'm surprised.""Enough talks. Let's get her to the hospital" Liza yelled and pulled Wenda away.Wenda slowly opened her eyes and sat up back, "What's happening?" She looked bewildered as she saw the state Maya was."She has less than twenty minutes to live if she doesn't get medical attention""So what are we waiting for? Let's get her to the car""No! I'll sprint her to the hospital.""Doctor, you have less than fifteen minutes to join me in the operating room or you'll live to regret this" She said and sprinted out of the room, not waiting for anyone's response."You should be glad she said you'll live to regret it" Jaeleah scoffed and sprinted after LizaT
Present day: day thirty fiveWenda and Miss Peyton walked to the gate, about to step out when Jaeleah stopped them."I'm going with you""Where do you know we're going?""I don't know but I want to tag along""I'm no longer comfortable with the way you're treating this case, is there some kind of benefit for you in it?""I'm hoping to get a benefit from it""What kind of benefit?""To become an instructor in this school. That has always been my dream and I thought this is one golden opportunity I can use to prove to you that I worth the position""We'll continue this conversation after all of this is over. Let's go"Wenda had brought her car, Miss Peyton sat at the front with her while Jaeleah sat at the back and the ride started. Wenda was following the GPS tracker connected to her phone and they pulled to a halt in front of a well adorned duplex."What are we doing here?""The person that ordered the stealing of the Golden Ball might be here""What? The Golden Ball has been stolen?
