Dedicated to all lost souls that keep roaming the earth in search for revenge

We left a life
That's ordinary from the start
We looked for stranger things
'Cause that's just who we are
Found me the edge of something beautiful and loud
Like I'm picturing now

~Chloe~

The death of Aurora Chigozie Azuka took us by surprise leaving a sour taste on everyone's mind. She was the Health prefect she was support to take care of her health and not just that of the students. Honestly I couldn't comprehend what and why,  I understand the where and the how, but the what and the why was baffling. I mean this is Aurora we are talking about the health prefect, one of the Fearless five not to mention the leader of our group. Well it's no  surprise though the leader of any group are always likely to die first and it's either due to their enormous ego or over confidence.

The news of her death came to us at school after we had finish an exam, Physics exam to be precise.We were all  still jubilating, well I was and that was because there was more than enough time to finish all questions. Trust me to never put such an opportunity to waste I made sure to answer the required questions correctly to the point that I wanted to be certain my A in physics was secured. It was the loud screams and wailing of people from technical class that cut my jubilation short that day.

I got home that day more crestfallen than I could ever be. Another soul was lost in Wesley Academy, could this be what MJ was talking about in that letter that he wrote to me. I was seriously deep in thought and Zoe wouldn't stop wailing and crying I'm just glad she is back in her own room now and we don't have to share a room anymore. Good riddance you filthy human with an ego the size of  olumorock.

I'm sure you must be wondering how she gets to have her room back. Well that is because my brother was finally stepping into the Adult shoes and doing what needs to be done to keep the house together. Number one on the list was give Zoe back her room and by giving back i mean fixing it up and returning it back to it original state so we don't have to share a room anymore.

Mom wasn't happy about it and it was all because my brother Damilare was a yahoo boy and all the money he is using to keep the house in one piece is from the yahoo that he is doing. I'm not too happy about it either but what can I say, money can't buy the things you really needed but it can certainly buy the things you must have to survive. Hence why I might not be to happy with it but I have to fake that happiness.

It is as a result of all the good deed my brother was doing that was why mom wasn't living with us any more. She was now permanently staying in the hospital to Closely monitor dads health— which by the way I am grateful he is responding to treatment again. Up till now we still don't know the cause of his illness and that alone is a something to worry about. The Doctors in charge of his ward say it's Leukemia but they are not entirely sure about it.

I was in my room siting at my study table staring at a picture in a picture frame. The song Stranger things by Kygo and One Republic was softly playing in the background because I was tying to use the song to drown the noise Zoe was making because she was crying her eyes out. I almost want to feel bad for her because she was closer to Aurora than I was and they use to play this game called I spy with my little eye  all the time, those were the good times.

The picture frame in my hand was a group photo with me, Zoe, Molly, Antonio and Aurora, It's was a picture of us as the Fearless Five. We gave ourselves that name because we wanted to be known and feared by evil doers. Well that name didn't really come to play until we were in primary school and we could talk properly.

I smiled as memories of all the mischief we did while we were in the primary school plagued my mind. My eyes still fixed on the picture but mostly on Auroras The smile was still on my lips, and That was when I heard it loud and clear, someone called my name and it wasn't Zoe or Damilare. It sounded subtle and distance and I had to pinch myself just to be sure I wasn't dreaming or hearing things either.

"Olamipo...Olamipo...Olamipo"

"Yes! Who is there? What do you want?"

"Olamipo ... Olamipo ... Olamipo... I have a message for you... ℑ 𝔥𝔞𝔳𝔢 𝔞 𝔪𝔢𝔞𝔰𝔰𝔞𝔤𝔢 𝔣𝔬𝔯 𝔶𝔬𝔲 𝔞𝔫𝔡 𝔦𝔱 𝔦𝔰 𝔣𝔯𝔬𝔪 𝔪𝔦𝔠𝔥𝔞𝔢𝔩 𝔍𝔬𝔯𝔡𝔞𝔫. 𝔶𝔬𝔲 𝔫𝔢𝔢𝔡 𝔱𝔬 𝔥𝔢𝔢𝔡 𝔥𝔦𝔰 𝔴𝔞𝔯𝔫𝔦𝔫𝔤 𝔞𝔫𝔡 𝔶𝔬𝔲 𝔫𝔢𝔢𝔡 𝔱𝔬 𝔡𝔬 𝔦𝔱 𝔫𝔬𝔴 𝚗𝚘𝚠 now..."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!"

I screamed! I screamed so loud that Zoe, Molly and Antonio came barging into my room terrified That I was in danger. Zoe  turned off the music immediately she got her hands on my Bluetooth speaker. Molly and Antonio were immediately at my side trying to calm me down but I won't stop screaming i won't stop tossing and turning and trashing around. They tried to pacify me to stop crying because the more i screamed the more tears fell form  my eyes.

It wasn't working and they eventual have to carry me out of my room bridal style but it was difficult because i won't stop trashing around Trying to break free. It was in the mist of the struggle that I saw her, I saw Aurora's ghost one last time at the hall way. She was dressed in black and her black hair was in contrast to her pale skin not the less she smiled  at me and mouthed something I couldn't quite read before she vanish into thing air. I screamed again so loud that Antonio and Molly involuntarily dropped me on the floor to protect there ears. I fell with a loud thud and rolled down the rest of the stair. Before either of them could reach my  body which was at the edge of the stairs I have already pass out as my body just laid there Unconscious.

~Zoe~

I was swollen from head to toe. Should I blame this on crying for 3 days straight for the lose of a dear friend or from the fact that my I was 20 weeks pregnant and people were now  openly noticing and asking me questions.  As if that wasn't bad enough Chloe was acting up like, really acting up. After she fell down from the stairs and passed out the other day, we had to rush her to the  hospital. She has been there for the past 48 hours now and nothing seems to be  Physically wrong with her but she just won't talk.

Every thing just keeps getting Worse and worse and I am not even sure i can Handle this  Traumatizing issues that's just keep poping  up any longer. I am pretty sure it unhealthy for a pregnant lady to go through this kinds of stress, teenager or not. I  just wished I could wave a magic ward and wish things back to the way the were, the way they are supposed to be. I yawed tired finally getting ready for bed, we have an very important school meeting tomorrow And it is mandatory I attend as the school head Girl.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! Stay away from me!!! Your not real! Your dead, you have been Buried 8 days ago."

8 days ago what is Chloe yelling about this time.  I ran out of  my room and into hers, she was on her bed blanket over her head and from  the way  it was shaking, i could tell she was shivering underneath it, I just didn't understand why she was so shaken up like this. Ever since she got back from the hospital which was 4 days ago she won't talk or eat and at night she would wake up screaming like someone who has seen a ghost.

You know have you ever considered maybe she did see a ghost that why she is in this terrible shape.

Ooh please, ghosts aren't real. I am sure it's something else that's bothering my sister.

"Hey Chloe. It me Zozo now calm down, it's going to be fine I don't know why this is happening to you but we will figure it out . I am sorry this is happening to you."

"Zoe she is here, she is right here in our house, she is right here in my room and she is haunting me."

Chloe said shaking in my arms and i was glad she finally said something. Now all I needed was to make sense of what even she was saying, what was she talking about and who was she referring to as she. I tried probing further but by the time I turned to her I saw she was already fast asleep again, her head resting on my shoulders.

I couldn't help the involuntary smile that spread on my face. This was like our one therapy, whenever either of is was having a nightmare the kind that make you wake up screaming, we would cuddly each other till we fell asleep. I think right now will be a good time of our usual therapy which we haven't done in a long ass time. I adjusted Chloe on the bed so there will be enough room for me and my Protruding belly. Once my head hit the pillow I was out like a light oblivious and ignorant of Aurora Ghost watching us sleep.

"Hmmm. We are  truly grieving for the loose of our dear students, not just Aurora this time but Michael, popularly know as MJ. Their sudden and untimely departure is something I never foresaw. It is an open secret that every parent takes his/her children to school knowing that at the end, the school will nurture this child to become equipped to change their lives for the better.

Every parent trusts and hopes that a school will instill and equip the child with knowledge, discipline and courage to face the realities of life. It becomes very devastating then, that a parent would learn that his /her child has passed on during the process of pursuing an educational endeavour."

The principal was giving a speech on the loss of Aurora my dear best friend, or should I say formal best friend. Aurora was my ride or die, my better half, my sidekick at every point in my life she was the one that was the closest to me in our group of friends. The Fearless five, how silly it was to create such a group that would not last a life time. I really thought we were all going to be friends till the very ends of time but that plan went out the window when we all entered JSS3.

It still hurts me deeply that she was no more though we weren't as close as we used to before she passed on. To make matters worse we hardly spoke to each other except the usual hi's and hello's we throw at each other when we walk pass each other at the hall way. I sighed feeling another wave of tears coming in but I have to suppress it. I couldn't cry at this time not when 300 students of Wesley academy we're watching me because of where I stood.

" it is not easy for a principal to lose a student during an academic session and it even worse when it's two. I do hope that the lord we serve will comfort their families in this trying times. And i to will play my part as a principal to ensure the safety of ever single one of the students that still wish to continue their academic career in this school. Thank you and God bless."

With that we all stood and observed a minute of silence for the loss of Aurora. At this point I couldn't suppress the tears any longer, I let it out and it began flowing like rivers of water. Joel the school's ever noble head-boy was quickly to act fast. His hands were at the small of my back as he began drawing random cycles on my back. It was soothing but at the same time it was making my body shiver with delight. I had to hold his hand to stop plastering a fake smile on my faces before he got the message.

Once the general meeting was over the principal gave an instruction to see all prefects and we all head to her office one hours later. On getting to the office Joel announced our presence and she finally looked up at us lifting her head from her hand that was resting on the table. She gave us a sad smile and robbing her palm together, and ones she does that it mean brace yourselves.

"Now you all know the situation on ground. The school lost Aurora and in as much as we would like to mop around and Moan this grate sad loss, we can't the show most go on, the school most go on but we have to do it right. That is why I called this meeting, what is the next right this to do that would not affect the rest of the school that is writing exams or is about to."

Chloe and I were mute. Why she was mute was best known to her, i on the other hand kept mute because I didn't want the principal looked at me for longer than a seconds andnoticing something was definitely not right with me. My waist trainer Weren't doing much to hide my tummy so I wore our school blazers on it and made sure to stay out of site. After enduring a minute or two of awkward silence Samuel Dawson the sport prefect decided to bail us out.

"We could go and visit her family tomorrow afternoon after schools. Maybe some of the prefect could go."

She looks to be deep in thought for a while but that only lasted for one minute. She took a deep breath and said to us look at us straight in the eye.

"Well then Samuel since you brought it up then chose the people you want to come along— and please choose your teams wisely this times. Thank you and you may all leave except Zoe. Zoe please take a seat."

Omo! yawa don gas oo!!. Be like say your principal don know say you get belleee!!..

Not helping subconsciousness.

Sorry but I just have to laugh looks like your going to be expelled after this one ooo!!

Shut the hell up! will you?

I said half yelling in My head and finally it did the trick. Immediately after the other prefects left, The principal went straight to the point asking, fortunately for me it was more of a statement Than a question. All I could do was bow my head in Shame looking for a Suitable explanation to save me from this predicament

"You are pregnant, aren't you Zoe Babajide."

24th of June 2018

Joel  Makinde
Zayatun Bello
Molly Adedeji
Antonio Adebowale
Chloe Babajide

We all stood at the entrance of  the Azuka house wishing we had not signed up for this. We were utterly terrified of what we would find there. I on the other hand was sacred out of my witts because of this, I knew this day would come I just didn't think it would be this soon. We walked into the house fear evident on our faces as we looked around the house skeptically I was just praying that the ghost of Aurora doesn't come to attach us. We were just here for a friendly visit also because the principal sent us.

" yes what brings you to our humble home ."

I slightly older version of Aurora took us into there sitting room. It much have been Aurora older sister Gift, she looks so different now than the last time I remember. Girl must be in her early 20's. I gave her a weak smile choosing my words wisely before speaking.

" I... we are the student representative of Wesley Academy and we are here on condolences visit. We are—"

" and you guys are?"

Said a masculine voice that interrupted my statement. I turned my head a bit to find Another prototype of  Aurora in a masculine form. I gave him a small smile cleared my throat and said.

"Hi umm we are—"

" never mind, who you are doesn't matter to me if it not going to bring back my sister."

Damn I would be stupid if I lied and said I wasn't hurt by his statement but still I smiled. I smiled through I was badly hurt because what he said was true. Samuel must have seen the hurt in my eyes and my difficulty to speak so he decided to step in saying

"Hey, kid just because your hurt doesn't give you a right to talk to her that way. She was part of Aurora small group of friends and she is hurt just as much as you are."

"Yea it's not her fault your sister thought it was a good idea to commit suicide by drinking snipers and jumping out of a window of a 4 story building."

Molly said lashing out in support of Samuels statement. That cause Aurora brother to laugh out loud like someone who just heard the funniest joke of the the century. The only thing was nothing about this was funny and it broke my heart that His laugher wasn't genuine, it was humorlessly and cold and it caused me to shiver a little.

" Vincent please  stop. You'll wake mom and dad up. You should go do your assignment or something."

" oh no, why are you chasing me away when this is way more fun. Now Chloe boyfriend. Where the fuck was your girl over here when Aurora need her the most? Mmm?"

Every where and every one was dead silence. No one had an answer and even if the did no one dared speak. Not because we were afraid of him and the nasty scowl he had on his face. No it wasn't because of that but because we knew whatever we said would only upset him further. There was nothing we could say or have said that could change the presence no amount of money or condolences visit we give could bring back their daughter, His sister, my friend.

" She is not my girlfriend Kiddo. and mind the way you talk to me."

"Oh shut the fuck up pretty boy. Look if y'all don't have anything better to say then please leave. We've seen enough of your faces already."

That was the response Vincent had for Samuel for uttering so such rubbish at time like this. In other to ace ourselves the stress of Arguing Back an forward I decided to step in saying.

" look I get you Vincent. And we would be out of your hair soon enough, we are just here to deliver this package."

I said finally revealing hand made hamper that the whole SS3 contributed to and 150,000 naira cash in an envelope. He looked at me and the things in my hands, without another word he turned around and left.

He sister gave me an apologetic smile before collect it from my hand. We sat there in totally silence not because we wanted time to be fast spent but because we didn't know what to say to each other or how to stare a conversation. Once I couldn't take the awkward silence any more it was  already to 5 the Perfect time to leave.

We said our good bye and she saw us of, just as we were about to leave again I felt someone watching me and so i decided to stop and look around. Sure enough Vincent was standing few feets away from me. I give him an awkward smile but he didn't return it, in that minute a strong mighty wind blew between both of us and we both closed our eyes for a brief seconds. By the time we opened our eyes back to stare at each other his eyes had turn violet and he was calling my Yoruba name this time.

" Olamipo. Olamipo.. Olamipo.... beware for the end is near there is so much insecurities everywhere you can't be to safe when you have your death crouching at your door come What May there is danger at your Academy. Protect Alima and Nafeesat please they are the ones next. You have been warned."

I wanted to scream to faint to do something but I was immobile. Did what I think just happened, I stool rooted there and before my very eyes, the color of his eyes returned back to normal and he walked away from me. Secondly latter Molly came to drag me away from there since I was too rooted to the spot to move on my own. I still can't believe I witness what I did, Aurora must have possess her brother to say that to me, that is by far the strangest thing I have ever witnessed in person, I have seen it happen in movies but c'mon i didn't think it could happen in real life.
