Jewel!!!!!!!, Miles screamed and woke up from his sleep. His head was aching badly and he was breathing heavily.
He stood up from the bed and went for his cigarettes, then he took a stick and started smoking.
He tried falling asleep since that time but he couldn’t, and when he managed to sleep just now, he woke up in ten minutes.
He stood beside the window smoking heavily.
Did he really fall asleep back then because of her? What connection does she have with his nightmares. Or is it just a coincidence as he had earlier thought.
He ruffled his hair in frustration
Does it mean I have to keep her beside me if I want to sleep? That’s crazy, it’s not possible.
He groaned and kicked the table beside him.
••
Are you leaving already Ma’am, one of the maids asked
No. I want to go to my room, can you lead me there?, Dami asked. The maid nodded.
Krystal had a call during the argument, so she left. Dami left too because she didn’t want to stay there or even see her again.
Though it’s Chelsea’s mom, What Krystal said affected her a little bit. And she was curious about the ki||er of Jewel, Chelsea’s sister.
The maid stopped in front of a big door and turned to her.
Thanks you can leave, Dami told her. She bowed and walked away.
Dami opened the door and went in.
The room was very big and beautiful but the first thing Dami noticed were the numbers on the wall.
The numbers were written with a marker and was all over the wall.
Did Chelsea write that?
She walked to the bed and sat down.
Does this mean Krystal hasn’t been in this room for long, because the numbers were all over the wall.
Her eyes fell on the drawer beside the bed. She leaned forward and opened it.
The first thing she saw was a marker.
Chelsea really wrote that. Did she write that while feeling sad, depressed, tortured and in pain?
She stood up and went round the room looking at the wall.
The number stopped at 4,105.
Is that number of times Krystal treated her badly before she left the house?
Dami went back to the drawer and brought out a big book from there.
It contained pictures of the family. The father, Mother, Chelsea and the young girl she saw in Krystal’s office, Jewel.
Wow her dad is Fernando Gomez, a billionaire.
With her parents wealth combined she can even buy a planet, so why is she always been bullied?, And why did she even let them bully her?
Is it because she feels guilty about her sister’s death? Or she’s naturally weak?
She also saw some fliers in the drawer and brought it out.
Wait Jewel is missing but not dead? Then why is…..
Looking at the picture she was probably fifteen or sixteen.
And looking at the flier she must have been missing for nine years.
If Jewel hadn’t been back after nine years it’s either she’s dead or something is stopping her from returning.
But why do they all think she’s dead?. And what even happened to her? how did she end up missing?.
Did Chelsea’s parents break up because of Jewel’s disappearance?
She brought out the last item in the drawer, A diary.
The only thing inside the diary was an incomplete drawing and a short note under it.
“Please come back already, I am in hell without you”.
Chelsea, Dami mumbled
Dami closed the diary and was about to drop it inside the drawer but a picture fell out. Dami picked it up and stared at it.
It was a picture of Jewel and Chelsea at Chelsea’s birthday.
You sure have tormented this family, haven’t you, Dami mumbled.
I really hope you come back to free Chelsea and the others, Dami said and stood up.
She kept everything as it was and left the room but as she was about to leave, her eyes fell on the the door that was few meters away from Chelsea’s room.
Without hesitation she moved towards it and opened the door.
d@mn it was bigger than Chelsea’s room!
She entered inside and closed the door.
There were only pictures of Jewel in the room and she need no soothsayer to tell her who’s room it was.
It was as if someone was still living there.
They didn’t throw her things away, Dami mumbled.
Well why would they?, she’s missing not dead, she thought
She was about to open the wardrobe when the door opened and a woman came inside.
It was the woman from the hospital.
Ma’am Chelsea, she gasped
You shouldn’t be here, she said
Ma’am Krystal ordered that no one should come in here. have you forgotten?, Come leave quickly before she comes upstairs, The woman said and started dragging her out.
Before she could even say anything, The woman pushed her out and closed the door
Jeez!
Seriously?

Chelsea stared at herself on the mirror and grinned. She’s was wearing Granny’s nightie and wig.
Remaining just my teeth, She mumbled. She placed her hand on her waist and thought for a while.
As if remembering something she jumped up excitedly and dashed out of the room. She came back with charcoal and carefully painted her teeth with it.
Perfect, she grinned.
And then she dashed out of the house, Minutes later she was in front of Monica’s house waiting for her to come out.
She wore a cap so she won’t be noticed but people still stared at her, because of the oversized gown.
She watched a lot of ghost videos and she was sure that she was ready to face Monica. She had earlier called Ryan for her house address and he reluctantly told her.
Few minutes after standing there, The gate opened. Chelsea threw the cap away and rushed to the person.
Jesus!!!, Monica’s mum screamed and fell to the ground.
Sorry it was a mistake, Chelsea said but the woman screamed more loudly, when she saw her teeth.
Her scream drew out Monica and her friends.
They started screaming immediately they saw her.
Chelsea opened her teeth and began to twist her body as she saw in the movies.
Monica burst into tears immediately.
I am sorry, I will confess, she cried. Chelsea jumped ridiculously and then rushed to her.
Wait I will confess I promise, Monica cried.
Chelsea still tried moving forward but then Monica’s mom held her gown and she stopped.
Please let my daughter go, I will pay you any amount you want, she said
Chelsea opened her mouth to talk but her teeth made the woman scream again. Chelsea scoffed and pulled away from her grip.
Then she made her way towards Monica again.
Monica took off immediately, she ran after her.
Please stop I will confess, I didn’t mean to ki|| you, Monica screamed as she ran.
Chelsea continued chasing her. People around stopped wh@ťěver they were doing and started watching them.
Monica tried jumping the pothole in front of her but due to the rush, she slipped and fell into the mud.
Everyone burst into laughter and started taking videos because the scene was very funny.
Chelsea made to go after her but then someone pulled her back. She turned back.
Ryan?
What are you doing? Infact don’t tell me anything just come with me, he snapped and dragged her away.
She kept turning back to look Monica till they got away.
Ryan dragged her to the front of their house and stopped.
What the hell did you think you are doing, he snapped
Ryan I…….
He screamed and fell to the ground immediately.
What the hell did you do to your teeth, he screamed
Is it that scary, she asked
Stop talking please, he screamed
Okay, she said
I said stop, he screamed
O…..
Ahhhhhh, he screamed loudly.
She covered her mouth with her palm immediately.
He stood up and was about to say something when a car stopped beside them. Dami came out of the car.
What are you doing outside, Dami asked immediately she came out
What the hell did you to to your face, Dami screamed
Dami you…….
Ahhhhhhh, Dami screamed and fell to the ground
Are you okay, Chelsea asked moving closer
Dami screamed loudly and passed out.
•
She woke up few minutes later after they emptied five litres of water on her.
Where am I, she said panting
You better don’t talk, she might faint again, Ryan told Chelsea. Chelsea scoffed.
Dami sat up and held her head
I came back home, that’s right I came back home and…….
What did you do to my teeth, Dami screamed.
Relax it’s just Charcoal it’s not that bad, Chelsea scoffed
Ahhhhhh…..
Not that bad!! Did you look at the mirror?, Dami screamed
Chelsea shook her head.
What if it never goes off, Dami screamed.
It will, it’s just Charcoal, Chelsea said.
Gosh go wash it off immediately, Ryan said. Chelsea glared at him before leaving.
If it doesn’t go off, I will make you bald I swear, Dami screamed.
Calm down already, it’s just Charcoal, Ryan snapped.
Shut your smelly mouth, Dami snarled. He rolled his eyes
Chelsea came back minutes later after washing everything off.
Dami inspected the teeth and face before letting her go.
You care too much about your looks don’t you? You haven’t even washed my hair for days, Chelsea scoffed.
That’s because I was busy, she snapped
Do you do that even in another body?, Indeed old habits do not die, Ryan said.
Dami threw her shoes at him immediately.
Can you stop bullying me, it’s not my fault you didn’t wash your hair, he snapped
I will ki|| you, she snapped. He flipped his finger at her and moved away.
Jerk, she mouthed.
Why did you even come here, you can’t come here just like that, if you don’t want your family to be in the news and…….
Yeah I get it, I just wanted to ask a question, Dami said. Chelsea raised her brows
Your mum invited me over today, Dami said watching Chelsea.
What did she say, Chelsea asked
Did you ki|| your sister, Dami asked. Ryan gasped.
Are you crazy why would you ask that, He snapped
I want to know your identity, if I am in a murderers body, Dami said
I can’t tell you the full story, Chelsea said
Why? are you hiding something? Did you really ki|| her, Dami asked. Chelsea sat down on the couch
I can’t tell you the story…… But I didn’t ki|| her, She said.
Fine. what about Miles?, what does he have to do with her, Why does he have nightmares because of her, Dami asked.
Miles has what?….., Chelsea paused and sighed.
I guess so, she mumbled.
What is the relationship between Miles and Jewel, Dami asked
Well….
