Killing booth Chapter 1: BRUISED
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
Killing booth Chapter 2: WAVES
Walking down the streets, I could remember the ordeal that took place today. The Principal reassured us that Mr. Beck was gonna be fine without doubt as he was receiving treatment for the hay fever he was diagnosed with. I knew it wasn't true but who would I have told? Besides, there was nothing I could do. I skipped the rest of my classes just so I wouldn't be reminded of the guilt I'd been feeling."Janie" I heard. It was Mike the homeless man. "Oh!, Mike" I smiled, I gave him the pancakes. "Thanks, Janie" he responded. "Could I sit next to you, I asked"?. Mike had been homeless for almost a decade, I remembered moving into the neighborhood with my Dad when I was six. Rumour had it that Mike murdered his family by setting their house ablaze but there was no evidence to prove he was the instigator. He did survive the fire and was unscathed but no one associated with him.I sat next to him as I bowed my head, sniffing. " A penny for your thought," he said as he offered me some of the
Killing booth Chapter 3: SWEET CHAOS
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
Killing booth Chapter 4: LOVE OR INFATUATION?
We were back in class as Kate was feeling better after seeing her menstrual cycle at school. I considered Kate to be a beautiful lady, she's tall and fairly built and a cheerleader at school. I hadn't told her about my encounter with Nick Wow, now I say his name as Nick in my mind, not Nicholas. I turned to look at Kate munching some chocolate cookies. "That's gonna be too sweet for you," I said. She didn't say a word, this was the time to tell her about Nick or Nicholas. I met a boy today, he was....... "Hey beautiful", someone said from behind. Who could that be, I never talk to anyone in this class aside from Kate. Wait, I recognized that voice. " Hi Pearl, remember me?" "Oh yes how couldn't I, it's Nicholas," I thought. "Is this the boy you like?" Kate asked. "I didn't say I like him" I argued. "You ladies were discussing me that must be good," he said laughing. For the rest of the day, I could hardly concentrate in class. It turned out Nicholas was a transfer student and on the
Killing booth Chapter 5: MY FIRST
"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
Killing booth Chapter 6: THE OLD HAG
Things were going well between Nick and me, I suggested we kept our relationship a secret. He was not okay with it at first but I convinced him since I needed time to feel a bit more comfortable about making everyone know about our relationship. He randomly dropped love notes in my locker and celebrated our first week anniversary. He was so sweet and continued to express his affection towards me, I was genuinely happy and hoped it lasted forever. The only person who knew about our relationship was Kate. She kept teasing me when we were in school. Nick has made everything feel better, school wasn't such a bad place for me to go anymore. I've been contemplating going to Harvard as well, I guess when you have genuine feelings towards someone your world could change just to have them closer to you.The first week of our relationship has been fun, we hung out secretly together and we text each other a lot. "You thought it was over, didn't you?" Have you ever wondered why when you think yo
Killing booth Chapter 7: MOTHER OR A MUM?
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
Killing booth Chapter 8: CLOSURE
It was a new day, Lilian didn't explain what transpired between my Dad and her. She promised to let me know when the time was right. Those words sounded like she wasn't going to let me in on anything but I knew I would find out whatever they were hiding."Jane, I made you breakfast" I could hear Lilian calling from the kitchen. "Thanks for the meal," I said as I hurriedly grabbed them from her. "Have a nice day" I could hear saying as I rushed out to get into the bus. I felt happy having her around it wasn't a bad thing. I took the bus this morning and it felt refreshing, I could swear that this feeling of happiness I was having was going to be permanent. I hummed to the lyrics of Ella Kess's Joyous song, I felt elated. "Hey baby girl," Nick said as he put his hands over my shoulders. "I could feel your aura, the energy seemed different" he laughed. "Don't make fun of me" I said as I walked with him. It was almost the end of the session and we were about to go for the holidays. "Do y
