Chapter 1

I walked down the hallway while holding onto my backpack like it's my second skin and my life depended on it. I took in the beautiful structure of Garfield High. The students going into their various classes, How I wish they could be this beautiful in and out, I sigh with the thought of that, keeping my face down, and Ignoring all types of disgusting stares I'm getting, should I say I'm used to it? Well, Nah, I keep getting Panic attacks each time I get one of those stares, and it's an involuntary action.

I find my way to my locker trying to be as fast as I can be, to escape Kendall's wrath today, I never escape any of her bullies, I don't know why she hates me so much.

"Maybe you do know" she whispered in my head

"Stop creeping into my thoughts you Freak" I said frustratedly, like it's the first time she will be doing it.

"Maybe it's because she is jealous of you." She ignored what I just said

"But they choose to make my life miserable."

I sighed tirelessly and unlocked my locker to take out the books for the lesson.

"What's that smell?" I could hear Kendall saying

``Oh she's here." She added

I sigh, proceeding with what I was doing in my locker.

Heels clicked as they all walked to me and, if I say all, I mean Kendall and her clique.

They are three of them, just because she is popular, rich, and dating Dylan she turned herself into some queen that must be worship, stupid!.

I tried my best not to look them in the eye because I've been punished a lot of times for that and I don't think I'm ready for any drama this morning.

"Where else could the smell come from when the freaky psycho is here" said Katrina while chewing her gum loudly like she always does.

They are the K-QUEENS, Kendall the leader, "Katrina, and Kayla, the handbag" she said loudly in my head.

"Just shut up" shaking my head as if I'm trying to shake her off from my mind.

"Oh well, look who we have here" She said looking at me

"blue jeans, black baggy hoodie, signature dark shades" said Kendall as she looks at me from head to toe with disdain and a fake laugh that doesn't even last a second.

"You're hiding, aren't you?" She asked while I kept my face down, never saying a word

"You know why I hate you?" She asked.

I nodded my head because I've banned myself from speaking, I don't even know when last I've talked to someone not even Mum.

"Because you're a freak, you don't talk you hide your eyes in those stupid freaky shades"

"you know what? take those glasses off" she said pointing at me.

I keep my face down ignoring her like I never hear what she says.

"You know what babe let's just leave, or we are going to be late for class, you know how I don't like missing class," Dylan said

The heck! Dylan has been here the whole time, and Yes Dylan is a geek after me. He only topped me once in a test and that's because Kendall didn't let me in for the test on time, I've been an all A student from elementary school.

"Not until I get what I want" Kendall grumbled

"Hey you look at me" she barked at me getting angry because I ignored her

I slowly look up at her, oh wow the student has already gathered, I mean what did I expect, the student here just enjoys watching someone getting bullied, especially when the bully is Kendall.

"Take off those shades now" she barked, while I slowly nod my head in disagreement

"You don't want me doing it for you, do you?" She said with a sly smile plastered on her pretty face

I slowly remove the shades, my eye color is complicated, at times it is bright blue, green, brown, black and so on, it depends on the person staring deep into it. I've been taken to the doctor, but I was said to be perfectly fine. Yeah I know I'm not, no one knows what I'm passing through.

The whole hall gasped immediately. I took off the shades as their jaws dropped, all staring at me, while some were trying their best to catch a glimpse of my face.

"F**k, your eye is so pretty".

Damn! Why did you hide those pretty eyes?" Dylan muttered, staring at me dreamingly and the whole hall gasped in surprise as they kept on videoing what's going on.

"What!!!, Did you just call that ugly eye, pretty?" Yelled Kendall facing Dylan while the rest of the K-Queens stare at me jealousy on their face

Wait did he just say my eyes and face are pretty, I'm so in for it today.

And is that jealousy I sensed, that doesn't seem good!

"What? I'm just stating the obvious truth" Dylan retorted

"you know what?" she said facing me.

"Your eyes are so ugly like the outfit you're putting on, and your face looks like cow poop, and you remains the ugly FREAK we all know, now put on those stupid shades and get the hell out of here freak, you stink" she yelled grabbing Dylan hand who keeps staring at me with her cliques and walked away from the hallway.

I stood there at my locker processing what just happened. She didn't inflict pain on me like she always does but left angrily, is that a good thing?

I shake off the thought as I continue with what I was doing while the student starts leaving the scene for their various classes, I mean what else? Show is over.

The bell rung and went for class, I found my favorite seat and spot, that was at the back of the class close to the window I sat there listening to whatever the teacher was teaching, I jot down the important note I could grasp, either I read or not I will still pass as long as I'm in class when the teaching was going on.

Soon enough the class was over , then we had three more subjects before the bell rang for lunch.

I hurriedly pack my books and left the class room for lunch, ignoring everybody so as to not lands in any body wrath especially Kendall, I just had an encounter with her in the morning, that make her left angrily, who knows, maybe she is planning something huge that I don't think I need right now, for me.

I skipped through the hallway to the locker room to dump my books and off to the cafeteria, not without taking my backpack that contains my journal with me, who knows.

I took out the money given to me this morning by mum and pay for the meal I just ordered, I took my tray and walk to my favorite spot, it is at the back of the right hand corner of the cafeteria, I dropped my tray of food on the empty table and my backpack on the chair, who will want to seat with a loser like me? Their words not mine.

I was munching on my food slowly when the adrenaline rushed in, the feeling of pain mixed with anxiety, my shaky hands and thumping chest.

"Oh no, Not here!"

Episode 2

Themed: the revelation

"Noooooooooooooo!" With a loud screech, "Stopppp" with a breaking voice "please".

"Not again, not even here".

sobbing into her head trying to get control over her body.

Her entire body vibrated violently, her hand shaking and moving like it has its own will.

Her glowing eye is so noticeable even with the dark shades on.

Her body violently jerked, spilling the hot pasta and orange juice all over her, while she tried her possible best to keep herself calm and behave as if everything is fine.

This is a secret that only her mom knows about.

But yikes! it's gonna reveal itself in the cafeteria.

Hell Nah, She has to do something.

But sadly she can't do anything.

Vibrating, she picked her backpack and brought out her journal with her shaking hands and place it on the messed up dining table she could hear the talks of the student calling her freak, as usual, all looking at her in disgust.

Her heart sinks hearing that cos she knows, She's gonna be the talk of the school, and she hated that.

She hated all of it, she just wish she could just disappear from the surface of the earth.

Then suddenly, The bell rang, lunchtime over.

"Finally," she said in her head in vibration.

Even though lunchtime is over, nobody is moving an inch or making the motive to go back to their various classes they were all busy watching her and seeing what she is gonna do next, in their mind she has epilepsy.

"Someone should call a teacher, the guy said from the crowd of students in front of her.

She groaned seeing nobody is willing to leave, she is fine, can't they see that, she said in her mind, she is resisting the other being in her, and that hurts a lot. And between, when do they start to care?

She should get out of here.

God, I hope no one is recording this.

Bathroom! she needs to get to the bathroom.

She try getting up, but she can't, the other her want her seated after so much struggle she fell she grabbed her journal and gently crawl in the direction of the bathroom, guess the other side of her understand what she is trying to do, she suddenly feels the urge to walk she quickly ran to the bathroom but remembering something she ran back and picked her backpack then back to the bathroom, and slammed the door shut.

She ignored the talks of a few girls that are adjusting their makeup. She looked for a space, she found one, and quickly got in and bolted the key.

Sighs, She places her journal on the WC cover, her hand became shaky again and starts moving of its own will, it makes use of the pencils inside the journal and starts sketching so fast till it's done.

"Done", Zoe said while dropping the pencil.

"What?" She replied her

"Can't you see?"

"Of course, I can see, a landscape of two mountains?" she said

"And what is that suppose to mean cos I don't understand and Seriously what is this all about?" She asked again frustrated.

"So this is the reason you decided to embarrass me in front of everyone knowing fully well how hard it is already for me in this hell of a school.

"Calm down I wasn't embarrassing you, you were the one resisting remember? I still don't get the reason why you keep hiding me" she said.

"Just shut up and allow me to figure all this out

I'm tired of all this already*

"What is there to figure out? It's all right in front of you can't you see it"

"What are you talking about? I'm saying I want to figure out how I can go back into that classroom without being looked at weirdly and check if none of what happened is on camera"

"Oh really then best of luck" Zoe said

Her name is Chloe and she has been like this since when she was 10.

She got to meet Zoe a few days after her 10th birthday at the orphanage.

It was weird and creepy realizing there is someone inside her, someone who can get into character anytime she wants, and the worst of it all she sees things.

She has been adopted by a couple of families and after two or three months she is back at the orphanage again, until two years ago when she was 14, she was adopted into the Campbell's family even though with all her strange attitudes they still keep her they love her like their very own, even if she knew she is just a replacement for their lost daughter.

What is more creepy? than having someone In your mind, trying to refrain yourself from speaking loudly because people will think you're crazy, they don't know you are communicating to someone in your head, someone you can't see but feel.

People always distance themselves from you because they think you are crazy, I mean, you are crazy when you speak to no one. You feel her pain and she feels yours.

Though it's frustrating, she learned how to adapt to the new side of herself and is ready to live with it for the rest of her life.

She stared at her journal again trying to read meaning to this strange drawing

She sighs and drops it, why does she always have to be the one to read the meaning of each revelation huh?

She never asks for it in the first place, tch.

"I can hear that"

"Just shut up"

"Fine."

Now, thinking of how she is gonna disappear from this hell, humph.

She gently opens the door and peeps around to see If there is anyone around. When she was convinced there isn't, she slowly opened the door widely and gently crept out of the bathroom like a thief sneaking in to it's victim house. School is surely over for her for today.

She knows of a secret passage to get out of the school premises but that would be too risky as she doesn't want to cause any trouble for her Foster parents.

"Is there anything you are good at, apart from seeing stupid things? Humph." She muttered

"Seriously, I'm seeing stupid things now!" She retorted

"Just help us out here and stop picking argument, ain't ready for any of that right now, I'm exhausted already" she said frustrated of the situation at hand, she doesn't think she is ready to face anybody after today's happening.

"If you want my help, then we have to do it my way" she said mischievously.

"No, just give a suggestion and I will know If it's okay to take heed to." She said aware of how she can be sometimes

"Then you don't need my help then"

"Please"

"Don't beg me"

"Okay, fine" she said thinking of it though she doesn't trust her one bit, Zoe can be crazy sometimes. At times she questions if she is really from a decade ago.

She felt a push like she was being pulled back by a thin rope with an extra force.

"Finally" she said, and walked directly to the staff room and went to meet her homeroom teacher, hoping to get permission to leave after lying about her health. She doesn't speak, but she can!

She walked down the hot scorching sun humming to Sunny by Boney M while doing some moonwalks. She had managed to convince Miss Adams, her homeroom teacher.

"Can you please stop, people think we are crazy" Chloe said conscious of every glance that was thrown at a way.

"You are crazy, I'm not, and who cares about what people think?" Zoe retorted, tired of why she is insecure if everything.

"So where are we heading to?"

"To Mom's workplace of course"

"Wait, don't tell me you're going to simp on that 70-year-old man again?"

"Don't judge me cos I find him attractive"

"I'm not the one you are going to embarrass!"

"I'm not embarrassing you, I'm just praising God's work"

"Ewwww"

"And you can't stop me"

"Who says I can't?"

"I'm going to watch you try."

**

She walks closer to the company's her mums worked, the gate opened. A familiar car drove out at full speed making a swift turn almost knocking her out of the way.

"Is that not mum's car?"

"I think it is"

The car came to a halt and made a reverse then came to a halt right in front of them.

"Mum!" She called her Mom jumped out of the car, looking awful like she has been crying.

"I'm so sorry Chloe, but we have to leave"

"Leave?".

WALES MYSTICAL HOLMES

Episode 3

"I'm so sorry Chloe, but we have to leave"

"Leave?".

After the earlier familiar feeling I was back to my body again.

She grabbed my wrist and we walked to the car, she was looking so sad. I wonder what happened.

She ignited the car and started driving. Sorry, I meant speeding like we are being chased.

"Can you tell her to stop driving like this, I can feel my heart jumping out of my chest" Zoe whimpered like she is the one with the body, tch.

"Wait, are you scared of dying?"

"Of course I am, you nitwit, now tell her before I do that myself" she said

I rolled my eyes, and stared at Sandra's half face. She looks scared, what happened? I wish I could read her mind and know what she is thinking. "If only I could wish" I thought with a sigh

She parked the car swiftly at the far end of our streets, she looked at me worriedly before opening the car door and getting down. She glanced around, before turning her head to me and telling me to get down, I did as she said as she started moving while I followed suit.

We took the back path that led to our residence.

With her help I was able to get into the house, climbing the wall. She told me to get some stuff from her drawer. I walked into her room and got the document. I gently climbed down too with her help. She heaved a sigh of relief when she saw me.

We got into the car and started our journey. Weird, Zoe has been excited since we started this unknown journey, so many things I didn't know about this being living rent free inside me.

After so many U-turns and speed driving the car came to a halt at the roadside.

She sighs as she rests her head on the steering wheel weeping silently. I stared at her with a blank expression, what is going on?

Her phone rang for the umpteenth time and she decided to answered who it was this time

She cleaned her tears and said "it's over Nick, await to hear from my lawyer" and hung up.

Okay, what is going on between Nick and Sandra, the Campbell used to be the sweetest family I've come across. So what will cause this breakup?.

She roared the engine to life again and started driving.

"Chloe" someone tapped me, I gently opened my eyes, I think I slept off while she was driving. I looked around, and we were at the gas station.

"I figured you must have been so tired and famished, so I got you some snacks, this will help with your hunger" she said, stretching the snacks to me while I stared at her blankly.

"You could make use of the bathroom you know, we still have a few hours left and it will soon be night time" she said, but I wasn't having all of that, I kept staring as if I could see through her, at least I needed to know what was going on.

When she gets the memo she starts.

"I know you're confused and at least need an answer to your questions. I promise to tell you everything and answer them once we arrive, okay?" She said

I sigh "And besides, you owe me an explanation on what you are doing outside the school premises during school hours" she said with a smile it ain't real, I know.

I sighed again, "it's okay baby everything will be fine I promise" she said with a cracked voice then engulfed me in an unexpected hug.

Few tears dropped on my clothes. I knew it's from her, so I hugged her back.

After some minutes of the hug she finally let go

"I'm sorry, I can be emotional sometimes, you should go make use of the bathroom. I know you're pressed, you make that face whenever you are seriously pressed, I don't want piss smell in my car" she joked.

"Seriously? We don't pee on our pant" Zoe grumbled.

"Can't you see she's joking, so much for being a seer" I said.

***

I was munching on my snacks while Zoe kept blabbing about some old story of herself like she always does.

I kept my gazes outside the window staring at the green leaves full of life when something caught my attention. Wait, that looks familiar, I quickly bring out my journal, flipping through it faster than ever. It matches.

"Zoe, it matched!" I exclaimed

"Hmm hmm" she said uninterestedly. Seriously, why does she always see things then leave it for me to figure out?

"Tch" I hissed

"Come on, how do you know we are coming here?" I asked again, to find out what I'm doing here, and maybe it's her mission and have planned this long ago

"Yaay, we are finally here, within 30min we should be home" Sandra said enthusiastically, interrupting the questioning I'm having with Zoe.

"I told you, you don't belong there, but here is where you long, fate will always bring you back to your root no matter what" she said to me.

I think about what she says, "I don't belong there but here, and fate will always bring me back"

"But why would fate bring me to the orphanage in the first place, and make me pass through that hell in school, and also I couldn't speak because of all the crazy and scary things you see without people calling me crazy and possessed, huh?"

"That is not for me to answer, just know that why we are here, and what you are going to become here, is your fate and no matter how much you tried running away from it, you will keep coming back"

"Do I look like someone that is running away from it?"

"Well you are not accepting it, let me make it clear, this is who you are!"

WELCOME TO THE LAND OF WALES, the sign board read.

**

The car came to an halt 40 mins later I stared at the house in front of us, a man standing outside already like he has been expecting us, or maybe he knew we were coming

"Of course, he knew". Zoe said

We alighted from the car as Sandra ran to give him a warm hug. I stand behind the car with my backpack on my shoulder staring at the duo. After the brief hug that seems to have lasted for forever He finally noticed me.

"She is the one you talked about?" He said facing me

"They already talked about me, Great!?"

"Yes, she is, remove your shades Chloe be polite" she said

"Wow, how are you dear" he said after I've done what she said

"And, she is not much of a talker" she bolted in, stressing the And.

"I understand" he replied

"Well you don't" I thought

"Don't worry once you have fully settled down you will be fine and soon you will be free with everyone." he said

"And you should meet my son he should be your age mate" he said while we proceeds inside

"Paul, our luggage" Sandra said

"Don't worry about it, Sean and?" He said facing me

"Chloe, her name is Chloe" Sandra said quickly

"Yeah, sorry I forgot Sean and Chloe can take it right?" He asked facing me

"Oh, don't ask me!" I said in my Mind

"Sean!" He called

"Come on, where is this silly boy?"

"Hey Dad, aunt Sandra, it's been ages " he said excitedly

"Ages? The last time I saw you was when you're a year old I think"

"So I don't think we've gotten acquainted enough right?" She added

"Well don't blame me, Dad and mum used to talk about you all the time while pointing at a picture of you in that family portrait" he said pointing at the portrait.

"And also it's still ages"

"Come on Sean, don't mind that silly boy"

"Hey there pretty" he called out to me

"Her name is Chloe and she is your sister, so enough of the flirting" Paul said with an eye roll

"I wasn't even flirting"

"You should help her with their luggage outside they will be leaving tomorrow morning"

"Oh, okay, I thought they are here to stay"

"Of course they are, Right Sandra?

"Yeah"

"You see, now out you, I and Sandra here have a lot to catch up on, I wish your mum is here she will be so hype up to see her.

"What do you mean?, where is she?" Sandra asked worriedly

"What Happened to Emily?" She added

"She is gone"

"What, Emily is gone!?"
