Chapter 7
Kelly’s P.O.V ******** After the superhero scene we played on that day, Mrs Lydia barely allowed us three out of her sight unless we were within the orphanage compound. The source of our powers were still a mystery to us as we kept it hidden from the world. My powers becomes stronger as the day goes by, and I barely see Emerald and Kim anymore. I hate to admit this but I missed our time together. Emerald would always stay in her room as she complained that coming out makes her hear so many voices which gives her a headache. So she was always confirmed in her bedroom humming and meditating and muttering sounds one fails to understand, it was almost like she could travel to other dimensions when she was in that state. There was this day I called out to her severally to inform her that dinner was served but she just remained still without a word, and when next she opened her eyes they were plain white. I ran to meet Kim to inform her but we ended up arguing about a totally unrelated issue. And yes you guessed right she originated the cause of the argument, sometimes I just feel like giving her a hot lesson she won't forget. I mean for a girl like her to be this much talkative? Something has to be wrong. I went downstairs to tell Mrs Lydia about it and she came to my rescue. Soon, Emerald woke up then looked at me and said I saw you….. You…. You were there then she suddenly collapsed. Emerald!! Emerald!! Mrs Lydia screamed as she held her head high. I felt her pulse and found out that she was running temperature. Mrs. Lydia, she is burning up, I said Get me some cold water and a dry napkin. I ran as quickly as my legs could carry to the housekeeper and told her about the situation on ground. She rushed upstairs with the water and napkin and handed them over to Mrs. Lydia before contacting the doctor. The doctor arrived within a few minutes and gave her a check up. She told us that Emerald has been stressing herself up too much lately that she needed uninterrupted rest. We all left the room, but what Emerald said kept on troubling me. I kept on thinking about her last words. Where was I? Why was she so scared, When She saw my face? These questions kept on pondering inside me as Mrs Lydia wouldn’t let me go and see her to ask her what she meant. Her words kept on giving me the creeps until after the second day when the doctor said that we could go and see her I got inside the room and met her lying on the bed looking into thin air. Emerald? I called out When she turned to my direction she smiled and sat upright. How are you feeling? I'm ok, thanks, Kelly. You scared the living daylight off me. Please don't do that again. ( Smiles ) Kelly, I did see something, I don't know how this newfound ability works but it's driving me insane. What did you see Emerald? I saw you and Kim in the future fighting together like you were lovers and then she was stabbed by a werewolf. I did not know what happened after that. Really? But what is the relationship between us three and werewolves? I don't get it. Kelly, I think there's danger coming up front. We need to find out who we truly are and fight it before it's too late. I also get these flashes of future events which I still don’t know their meaning. Once I saw the three of us talking to a scary old lady. I still don’t know what that means, where's Kim? You ask like I'll know where she is. Listen to me Kelly, I believe that there's something strong the future holds for you and Kelly but it can only be solved when you both work hand in hand. Me and Kim, walk together? It's like you are joking. I'm serious, only the both of you can fight whatever is coming your way. You talk like you don't know how we both fight all the time. Of course, I know that but still, you both have to put your differences aside and do this. Ok, Emerald, I've heard all that you've said. I'll give it some thought. I hope you do, pls do give it some critical time of thinking. You should get some rest now. Ok Kelly but please let Kim know that I'll love to see her too, ok. Ok I'll do my best without picking a fight because the last time didn't end well. Ok then, I should get some sleep now. I walked out of the room to Kim’s room to pass the message. I got to her room and found no one. I peeped through the window and saw her running towards the bush path as if searching for something. How sure am I that this young lady isn't in trouble again, the pace she was running with definitely says something. Immediately I ran downstairs in order to keep track of her as she ran into the bush. I wonder what she saw that's making her go into the forest fearlessly. Before I got down I had lost track of her until I heard a loud scream from the direction she ran into. I immediately took my feels and ran in that direction Simply put, this girl is just crazy. I kept on walking down the bushes and shrubs looking for her as I met her sitting on the floor a bit far from the orphanage as she just sat there crying her heart out.
