Maya, Liza, Amber and Anna had just finished their breakfast and was about to go out of the house when Alvin stopped them."Was I supposed to stay home while others are making efforts to find my daughter?""I thought you didn't believe she's your daughter""But I believe Peyton""Let's go then"Liza inserted the key in the lock and locked the door while the others were in the car and Maya was on a call with Yana."Hello, Yana. We need your help""What's wrong?""Peyton got a clue about her child but thinks she's in danger so she's asking for our help.""Okay, where do we meet?""We're on our way to your place now""My place?" She seemed shocked"Yes, is anything the problem?""No. I'd be ready before you get here" She said and hunv6 up."So weird!" Maya said and went to the car."What's wrong?" Amber asked"It's nothing. Get in the car, let's go. Alvin, do the driving" Maya said as she handed him the keysEveryone got in the car, Alvin revved the car in action and drove off to Yana's
"Is this room occupied" Maya asked the manager"Yes, a girl lodged there since yesterday""My daughter" Miss Peyton stuttered with tears that glistened her eyes and Alvin held her close to himself.The manager knocked severally on the door but there was no response and when he tried to open it, he discovered that it was locked. The manager made a call and a man came with a spare key of the room and the door was opened.Miss Peyton rushed in but there was no trace of the girl rather, they saw a dead man and the phone on the table. Yana picked the phone but it was locked."We need to find this girl, she's a murderer" The manager yelled, thudding his feet."I can be of help, dear manager. Why not let us post it now that the daughter of my client committed a grave crime of murdering someone in your hotel and was able to escape with it? Who do you think would suffer more if I say this is an act of defense? She or this hotel?""You're such a blackmailer!" He snapped"That's what lawyers do,
Yana, Wenda and Jaeleah found themselves in a room with a bright, blinding blue light so they quickly bent over to protect their eyes and in few seconds, it seems like everything was normal so they slowly lifted their heads but was surprised they were not together anymore."Wenda? Yana? Where are you guys?" Jaeleah screamed out but could only hear her own voice echo back.The room had now gotten darker and she could hardly see her own shadows as she walked round the room but kept returning to the same spot she left."Am I moving or coming back to the same spot?" She thought aloud after few minutes of walking and the environment was still the same.She pulled out the ribbon from her hair and dropped it on the floor and walked again. To her surprise, she came back to where the ribbon was."This is interesting!" She laughed like a psychoYana and Wenda also had the same experience and was trapped.*In the outside world: 5 hour into the ritual."What is happening? Could this be taking th
Jaeleah stopped for a while and listened closely and discovered that she could hear Yana and Wenda's voices inaudibly. She placed her hand on the wall and it went through."What kind of wall is this? Or is this what illusion is about?" She thought as she tried to put her leg on the wall and it also went through."This is it!" She snappedJaeleah moved back to the other end of the room and sprinted against the wall and made it out of the illusion to the same room they were at first but this time, the light wasn't blinding."Yana? Wenda? Where are you, guys? Can you hear me?" Jaeleah screamed out and heard them answer to her calling."Just jump out of the room, it's just an illusion"Few seconds later, Yana and Wenda got to where Jaeleah was and Jaeleah rushed to hug them."I thought I was going to lose you guys""It's fine now but what kind of illusion was that?" Yana asked as they disengaged from the hug."I think it was only to bring confusion but now that we've solved it, let's proc
"I think the only option we have is to jump over the waterfall" Jaeleah said after about twenty minutes of sitting in silence."What? There is no way I'm doing that with you" Yana said"Then you can stay here while we find out a way out of here" Wenda scoffed and got up.She and Jaeleah opened a door and Wenda jumped first, Jaeleah looked back at Yana who was still seated and jumped as well. Yana reluctantly got up and walked to the door, she looked down the waterfall but couldn't see it's end."I hope this isn't my end" She thought as she jumped too.They found themselves at the front of the waterfall and they could faintly see the water blocking a cave and behind them, was a tall wall."I think there is a cave behind the waters""Let's go then"They walked passed the waterfall and got into the cave and it immediately lit up."Wow! That's creepy!" Jaeleah exclaimed as she panted heavily for some seconds.They walked together further into the cave, the light on the wall directing thei
"I don't know how this happened, we were all together" she sobbed silently"It's fine. You must be tired, get some rest now and we'll find a solution in the morning" Liza said"What if it's too late by morning? What if they die because of me? I would never be able to forgive myself again""It's never too late, let's sleep" Maya said as she help Jaeleah get up.Maya tucked her in and they all slept.*Alvin and Miss Peyton cleared the table, spread some blankets on it and was about to sleep when Alvin grabbed Miss Peyton by the waist and pulled her closer that they could feel each others breath on their skin."Why don't we make another baby? In case you don't find her" He said jokingly with a smile but Peyton responded with a frown."I was just joking, sweetie. Let's make a younger version of her. I've missed this body of yours." He kissed her lips briefly"I've missed you too" she said and locked her lips in his.Alvin pulled her away, not more than an inch away and nuzzled her cheeks
In the real world: two hours into the second ritual."Isn't it just to bring aunt Yana and aunt Wenda back? Why is it taking so long already?" Amber lamented and rolled her eyes."Something must have gone wrong" Liza said"Then what would you have us do? We just have to wait till they return" Miss Peyton said"Sure!" Liza snapped.*Jaeleah grabbed her mom's hand and teleported back to the real world with her but was shocked at who she saw.Jaeleah woke up and the people rushed to help her - Maya held her in her hands."Did you find them? Are they waking up soon?" Liza asked curiously but Jaeleah kept looking around"What's wrong? Talk to us, Jaeleah!" Miss Peyton yelled at her and Jaeleah shivered at the sudden sound wave."I still haven't find them but I brought my mom along with me, have you seen her?""Your mom?" Miss Peyton scoffed, licked her lower lips as she raised to her feet."Is this how greedy you can be, Jaeleah? These two sacrificed themselves for you to gain access to t
"Who are you? Why were you looking for us?" Wenda asked"Quit the drama, guys. We're heading back home now!" She stated and grabbed their hands.The two ladies wriggled their hands out from Jaeleah's grip and pushed her to the ground."We don't know you. Why do you want to take us? Where are you taking us to?" Yana yelled"You like it here? Is that why you're behaving this way? Fine! You can stay here, only on one condition""Which is?" Wenda asked"I have to take you back home and you tell the others that you like it here, then you can come back""Now, there's others" Yana scoffed."We are not going anywhere with you, bitch" Wenda cussed and the two ladies began to run away.Jaeleah got up and tried to sprint after them but could not so she had to run at a normal pace. After few minutes of running, the two ladies came to a close wall and turned to Jaeleah who grinned with excitement, thinking she already caught up with them. But to her surprise, they turned back with an evil grin on
