ROADSIDE**
Megan rubbed her wet nose and continued leaping home as fast as she could.
She was glad they were allowed to go back home cos she couldn’t handle everything that happened.
From heaven’s death to Elvis vanishing out of nowhere to the turbulence and fire outbreak.
It was just too much and the thought of it was making her burst into another round of tears.
She was supposed to write her final papers today but all this so happened.
Soon, She met heaven sitting at the road side seater and her heart skipped a bit.
A very light skinned lady was next to her and as she moved closer, holding the strap of her school bag, the lady seemed to have vanish.
” Heaven?” She rubbed her eyes to see clearly and heaven quickly stood up.
Her shirt that wasn’t tucked was still soaked in blood but she was looking quite healthy despite it.
” Megan!” Heaven sobbed and hugged her quickly.
Megan moved back a bit and swallowed hard, she was finding it difficult to believe this was heaven.
” H..how did you arrive here at the bus station. How are you still alive?” She asked, pointing at her shirt.
Heaven stared at her damp clothes and looked at her.
” I was dead?” She asked, blinking profusely.
” I mean…I.. I.. don’t have an idea but…you were looking dead at class. I thought you were dead, but.. .You know what, look….I’m so confused with my life right now. Everything is just making my head swell and I feel like I’m far from reality!” She said, swallowing bitterly.
” I’m fine. I’m perfectly fine. I have no idea how the blood got there.” She said and took off her shirt. ” Okay, I’ll just cover this up” She said.
She brought out her knitted sweater from her bag and wore it on herself.
” Look. Okay now?” She asked, widening her arms.
” Can you remember the last thing that happened to you?”
” The last thing?. Well, I remember when i slept off in the cafeteria and then I woke up here in the bus station. That’s all” She shrugged.
” Oh geez. I think someone at school is behind all this. Now I don’t know where elvis is. He needs to meet you”
” Elvis?” She quickly asked.
” He just mysteriously vanished with you, I was expecting to see him here” She said.
Soon Dove approached them.
” Megan!”
” Dove. Thank God you’re here.” She said and gave him a little hug.
” I saw you standing here, talking to someone. I don’t understand, who are you talking to?”
” Yes, it heaven. She’s right here.”
” Heaven is where?” Dove asked, looking at the direction she was pointing.
” Here. She’s here. Can’t you see her” Megan said, grabbing her shoulders while wriggling her a bit.
Dove checked her temperature.
” Are you sure the hot sun isn’t disrupting your brain?” He asked, pocketing his arm.
” Of course not!. Can’t you see her!. She’s right beside me for Godsake!!” She yelled.
” Look, I don’t see anyone. The only thing I see here is air, nothing, blank spaces!” He said and Megan looked at heaven worriedly.
” Dove. I’m here!. I’m right here!!. I’m not too short am I?” Heaven waved but he didn’t even spare her a glance.
” Come Megan. My car is just a few walks from here. I might drop you home if you want” He said and Megan looked at heaven again, her lids filling up with hot tears.
” I can’t leave my best friend here. I…I have to take her along!. It’s not my business if you can’t see her!” Megan yelled.
Dove sighed and held his waist.
” Megan. I know you act stupid sometimes, but your stupidness today is seriously going off limit. I mean…I am standing here, I’m seeing no one yet you are seeing someone. Does that mean, I’m a ghost, you’re a ghost or….the girl is a ghost?” He asked.
” No. Heaven’s can’t be a ghost!. It seems your eyes aren’t working” She sobbed and helped me rubbed his eyes.
” I still can’t see anyone” He said and her lips pouted out sadly.
” Megan. Please tell him I’m here. I can’t be a ghost. How come he can’t see me” Heaven sobbed.
Dove grabbed Megan hands and began to pull her away.
” Megan!” She sobbed following her quickly.
” Heaven. No…please don’t take me yet. My friend…i can’t leave my only friend out here. Please stop!!” Megan sobbed until she was pulled into the car.
Heaven stopped in her tracks and hot tears rolled down her cheeks bitterly.
” Megan. She left” She sobbed, clenching her sweater in pain.
The light skinned lady appeared behind her again and her body froze in fear for a moment.

TRUE’S APARTMENT**
True dropped her bag on the couch and settled down on her bed.
Her mom walked in wearing a kinky nightdress and She placed a compressor on her head.
” What an awful day” True sighed and folded her lips into her mouth while hugging her feet.
” It seems Year 12 will be writing their finals online until I know how to repair the damage at school” The principal said.
” What about elvis and heaven?” She asked.
” Why are you asking about them?”
” I…I.. suddenly feel pity for them”
” Pity?. You’re a witch. We are made to kill and destroy and not feel pity. How come you’re feeling pity for them. It seems you loosing your powers is beginning to make you think and feel like humans”
” But what of heaven’s dad?” She quickly asked.
” Nah, we might kill that idiot if he ask for his child. Piece of cake” She shrugged.
True sighed and sat up on her head.
” This is pure wickedness. Even as a witch, I would only take heaven’s powers without killing her” She pouted.
” Why are you suddenly acting like you weren’t there when we made plans?” She scoffed and stood up. ” Anyways, I’ll have to inform the student about their online exam. Read for yours as well, Goodnight” She said and left the room.
True sighed and fell back on the bed.
” I don’t wanna be a witch anymore. Being wicked stinks” She scoffed before closing up her eyes.

HEAVEN’S HOME**
Elvis walked towards her balcony and gave a gentle thud on the door.
The nanny came out and saw him.
” Elvis.” She smiled but her smile turned into a sad frown. ” Heaven is not with you?” She asked.
He sighed hotly and bit his lips before responding.
” Where’s her dad?” He asked, with his hot menacing voice
” He left for the country side days ago. He hasn’t been home” She said and her frown got bitter. ” You aren’t saying anything about heaven?”
” Yea, um…She’s going to spend the night with me. We have online exam so we’ll read together” He said.
” Oh. She didn’t come home to take her clothes?” She said.
” Yea, I’ll go help her with that” He said and she opened the door for him to walk in.
Elvis stepped in slowly. He knew she wasn’t here with him and the house felt empty, drained, it felt deserted.
He sighed and went to her room and sat down for a while, pinching his eyes close and just meditating everything that happened to himself.
” Boo bear” He suddenly heard her voice and his eyes snapped open.
” Heaven” He said, sitting up quickly.
She walked up to him and sat on his leg.
” I came hours ago but my nanny didn’t recognise me. I feel like I’m a ghost to everyone, except you and Megan.” She said and Elvis heart clenched in pain.
He didn’t want to sob but he felt like her word hit him to the core and his body started to tremble in tears.
” Elvis. What’s that?” She asked, peeking at his face slowly.
” Nothing.” He shaked his heads and held her warm face. ” Look at me…” He said and she stared at his eyes, it was red and scourge with pain.
” There’s alot I need to explain to you right now. But I have difficulty talking when I’m down. So I’ll explain later”
” Is it something serious?” She asked.
” Shhh” He covered her lips and the door quickly opened. The nanny walked in.
” Have you taken her clothes?” She asked
” No…Not yet” He said.
” Well..okay. Do you need to eat something before you leave?”
” No, I’m fine. Thank you” He smiled.
” Okay” She said and closed back the door.
Elvis turned to her.
” I had to lie that I came to pack your things. But anyways, let’s pack and leave” He said and they both stood up quickly.

ELVIS HOME***
Elvis walked into the kitchen and picked some oranges from the basket
” Mom. Evening” He said, leaving the kitchen.
” Hey. When are you getting married huh? Cos I’m ready, jerk!” Jean said, laughing hardly.
He sighed, looking at her with a raised brow and then, he just walked away.
” Men, that guy is hot. I’ll go seduce him” She said leaving the table quickly.
” No” Lyra quickly stopped her. ” Not yet, he wants to study for his finals. You know what that means afterwards” She smiled and Jean grinned darkly as well.
Elvis walked into his room before slamming the door hardly.
” Elvis are you okay?” Heaven sat up on the bed, looking up at his gloomy face.
” I’m fine. Just some jerk pulling my nerves” He quickly said and dropped the fruit basket on the table.
He picked his summoning ring and turned to heaven.
” i really have lots of questions and help to ask. I want to summon Lucy. Just don’t freak out, okay?” He said and she nodded her head naively.
He threw the ring on the floor and It started bedazzling the room with it light and soon, Lucy appeared.
Heaven blinked after seeing the woman. It was the same lady following her around since morning.
” Elvis” She smiled.
” Lucy, glad you’re here” He sighed and leaned on the table.
Lucy turned to heaven on the bed and her smile had to lighten up.
” My Son’s mate. How are you doing?”
” I’m.. .I’m fine” She stuttered nervously, looking very blunt.
” This is the first time you finally had me see your mate with you in your room. Very impressed” She said with a chuckle.
” Yea but, There’s a lot I need to tell you lucy” He sighed.
” And there’s a lot I already know” She said with a smile.
” You do?”
” Of course, I do. She died, I know. She was stabbed by the hands of the witches, I know. But She’s not dead, Elvis. She’s only going through the reincarnation process”
” What does that mean?” He said, looking really interested.
” By tomorrow, She might return back to life in another body and continue being your mate or she might come back to life as she was, but your mate will be changed. And everything about you in her life will be forgotten.” She said.
” And its up to you to decide which reincarnation” She said and Elvis heart skipped a bit.
