Milena was no more Milena. Britt could recognize her as her demon but this time, the demon was different with black lines drawing from the corner of her mouth to her ears and all around her nose like thick veins.

Black lines drawing from the corner of her mouth to her ears and all around her nose like thick veins. “What the hell…!” Maggie’s mouth wouldn’t close at the sight in front of her.
Milena already pounced on a girl, also dressed in their school uniform. The girls kept on screaming as Milena’s long finger nails trailed on the face of the girl.
Britt was almost rushing to her but Maggie stopped her. “Milena, stop!” She shouted.
“Why are you stopping me?” Britt looked at her angrily, wriggling herself out.
Maggie didn’t even look at her. “She’s not your friend. That’s an imposter!” She whispered.
“You know nothing!” Britt shouted at her, freed herself and ran to Milena.
Milena’s eyes glinted, sniffing the air. “I h@të…noises!” She growled, slapped the girl beneath her – she fainted I’mmediately.
Her loud growl took Britt unawares, it sent her flying across the field and landed a little far from Milena, the necklace falling to the ground near Milena.
Suddenly, she began sniffing, her eyes glinting as it roamed about on the field as if looking for something.
She stepped away from her prey, searching for the strange thing that caught her attention.
Maggie ran to Brittany, pulling her up. “Are you okay?” She asked.
Britt nods, coughing out a little blood. Their eyes widen, seeing that the demon was coming close to them. “Are we not doomed today?” Maggie asked, holding tightly to Britt’s collar.
The necklace wriggled, making shrinking sounds in someone’s hand. That sound attracted the demon as it gnashed it’s teeth, rushing towards the bearer.
Prine Flynn suddenly appeared, jumping on the demon. It screeched as he held her down with his two hands, his legs in middle of her legs, to the ground.
Naptha shakes the necklace, moving slowly towards Milena. “Here…it’s here…” She made tones like a song.
The demon growled, gnashed, fisted, cried, screeched, wriggling so hard. “I.. can’t hold her much longer.” Flynn was sweating now, she’s so powerful.
Naptha brought it closer and closer, the lines on her face began to reduce. Every of the gnashing and screeching with the strange vein marks vanished immediately the necklace touched her neck.
Flynn breath out in relief as Milena’s hands went lump beneath him. Britt stood up, pulling the still Maggie up with her as they went closer.
“Naptha!…” Britt beamed, hugging her.
“Don’t tell me you already miss me?” She hugged her back and she scoffed.
Britt pulled Maggie who was still looking at the pale Milena on the ground, Britt slapped her shoulder, bringing her back to life.
She cleared her throat, looking around and was surprised to see the two people standing. “It’s an honor, my prince.” She bowed.
Naptha chuckled at his rudeness, he didn’t even answer her as he dusted his clothes. “No one should tell her I came.” He ordered.
Britt looked at him, then, the sorceress. “What? Why?” She asked.
No one gave her an answer as Flynn disappeared. “Everything has a reason my dear.” Naptha pats her back.
She scoffed. “Not like this? He saved her and he says we shouldn’t say a word to her? What do I tell her then?” She folded her arms, angrily.
Milena coughed, feeling weak. “Where am I?” She looked at her surroundings.
Britt looked at the Sorceress. “He ordered it. You will not, say a word to her!” She shook her head, strictly.

Jedrek opens the car door and entered into a restaurant, a very big busy one.
Going opposite the glass door, he glanced through the restaurant, looking for a particular table.
A lot of people in the restaurant, those buying, selling and those just sitting, relaxing…
Removing his sunshade, he drew the forward chair outwards, sitting on it. “What are we here for?” He asked, impatiently.
The hoodie masked man, tapped the table consistently, picking pieces of boiled meat from his teeth with a short toothpick.
“Patience, man, patience.” The man smiled, the space of a missing tooth showing.
Scattered files on the table, he spluttered. “Those are what you need.” He signalled, resting his back on his chair.
Jedrek ruffled through it, looking surprised, seeing the contents. “Where did you see all this?” He asked.
The man smirked. “Where I saw it doesn’t matter, other than how you will make what we want work.” He stated.
************
“I almost killed her, Britt.” Milena sobbed on her shoulders.
The girl who was attacked, revived by Maggie, still looked scared. “Is she…is she gone?” She asked Maggie, still in fear.
Maggie sighed. “But you didn’t, it wasn’t you Mil.” Brittany pets her.
“You have used three hours from today’s time, you have to go to class.” Maggie said, helping the girl up.
“Please, stop reminding me about school. I’ve had enough trouble today.” Britt scoffed, helping Mil up.
Maggie chuckled, nudging the girl’s shoulder. “Don’t be sad okay? It wasn’t your fault.” The girl walked up to Milena with her two hands folded at the front of her knees.
Maggie walked to them, fixing the girl’s glasses. “I like her already.” Britt squealed while the girl cleaned Mil’s tears, smiling.
Mil finally smiled, sniffing. “I like her too. What’s your name?” She asked.
She casts her face down. “My name is Nora Parke.” She answered.
“Nora, I’m so sorry…sorry for all I did to you…please!” She hiccupped.
Nora smiled, cupping her cheeks. “It’s fine okay?” She whispered.
“Are you guys done with the interview?” She looked at both of them, Mil scoffed while Norangiggled, Maggie chuckled.
“What departmentrtment are you?” Mil asked.
“She’s also in your department…” Maggie answered, handling to her, her uniforms.
“That’s cool…” Britt clapped and held Nora’s hands, Mil rolled her eyes.
She pulled her shirt open, right in the field. “There’s a toilet down there!” Nora widened her eyes.
“She could still dress naked here, anywhere.” Britt rolled her eyes while Nora just watched, smiling.
“Which way is our department class?” Milena asks, fixing her bowtie like it doesn’t matter.
Maggie chuckled, pointing eastwards and they all went, gisting and laughing – Brittany
continually fixs Nora’s glasses.
The door of the class opened. “Hold on! What do we have now?” Britt asks.
“I think, accounts?” Nora pushed her glasses to her eyes, looking at the timetable at the side of the door.
“d@mn! I h@të accounts…” Britt groaned, ruffling her hair.
Nora pushed her glasses again. “Same for me.” She shrugged.
Britt placed her hand on Nora’s shoulder. “We should become best of friends.” She said.
Nora smiled. “Why?” She asked.
Britt clicked her tongue once. “Simply because we are alike.”
Milena heard their conversation. “What of me?” She asked.
Britt glared at her. “We are not alike!” She snapped.
“But what would be my place?” She asked, faking a cracking voice.
Nora almost felt sorry but also giggled, looking at their cute fight. “I will think about us being sisters.” Britt said.
Maggie chuckled. “That’s another way of saying you count her as your sister?” She chipped in.
Nora winced. “I feel jealous.” She said, pushing her glasses again.
“Don’t be..” Britt whispered.
The door opened. The class went silent. Students looked at the back. “Here’s what I h@të the most.” Brittany groaned.
“Sorry, Mr Paulson. These are newly admitted students.” Maggie says to the tall man standing in the front of the class.
He pushed his glasses backwards to the center of his nose. “Okay, miss Maggie but are you sure they are in this department?” He asked.
Maggie nodded. “Take care girls..”
“Don’t forget to explain all that happened today to me, in full detail.” She whispered into Britt’s ears and she nodded in response.
Britt already walked inside and sat on an empty chair, at the window side. “I haven’t asked you to sit down yet.” He asked Britt.
She almost rolled her eyes. “Sorry sir but my back and legs are aching and I haven’t taken anything since this morning so, I couldn’t stand well.” She whined.
Chuckles, groans, laughter sounded in the class while some rolled their eyes. “You should eat well before coming to school and if you are sick, take medication.” He said, looking at her sternly.
She bowed a little, still sitted. “Introduce yourselves to the class please.” Mr Paulson gestured.
The whole class focused on them, they sat together. “My name is Nora.” She pushed her glasses to her eyes, tucking her blonde hair to the back of her ear.
“Is that your full name? You don’t have a father?” He asks and Nora stood up back immediately.
The whole class roared with laughter, with comments coming from different angles.
° Maybe she doesn’t have a father
° Oh! Poor thing….
° Look at her glasses.
° Such a Nerd…
° But I love her blonde hair.
Milena scoffed. She could see Nora trying hard not to cry because of the bad comments, with the help of her glasses.
Britt blocked her ears. “Those of you that doesn’t know what to say should shut the Fuçk up!” She half yelled and the class went silent I’mmediately.

There’s an unknown now, They’ve got a new friend ☺️
