★Spring suite★
Sasha walked into the suite,she met them all sitting waiting for her except Aurella who was pacing about.
As soon as she saw Sasha come inside,she rushed to her holding her shoulders.
“What happened?, we didn’t hear you scream as planned.” Aurella asked but Sasha just sighed.
She removed Aurella hands on her shoulder and quietly walked to a chair,she sat down and sighed then she narrated everything to them.
“But I saw him drank the wine.” Aurella argued.
“He spewed or rather fed it to the closet.” She said. “And that reminds me oliver said his eyes are on you, if you dare make a move,he’s going to take the life out of you.”
“What! He said that?” Ayra asked.
“Yes,and am sorry I failed you guys, I tried my possible best but it seems as if someone leaked our plans.” Sasha said .
“But who could have leaked our plans to them?” Aurella asked searching their face but they all gave her ‘ i’m not the one look’.
“Ava.” Noah said and they stared at him.”she revealed our plans to them.”
“The girl we locked up in the dungeon?” Aurella asked furrowing her brows.
“Yes,don’t you know she has the power to see the future?” He asked surprised.
“How do you know?, wait you knew and you didn’t tell us?” Ayra asked shocked.
“I felt it the first time we met each other, when he clasp hands together, few of her memories flashed through me and I can tell she’s a powerful being.” Noah said remembering the feelings he had when he touched her.
“Arrrrgghhhhh!” Aurella yelled furiously. She was more than furious that Noah for knowing this and refuses to tell them. Of looks could ki||,Noah would have been dead by now.
“But why didn’t she foreseen the necklace plan ?” Sasha asked her brother confused at what they were saying.
“She felt the danger but at that time it was the first time she would be seeing a revelation, so she couldn’t express herself.” He explained while they all stared at him shocked he knows all this things.
“But am very sure someone helped her explain the revelation she had.” Noah said thoughtfully.
“Bethel,he’s in the dungeon.” Ayra said her eyes widening as everything began marking sense to her.
“If she definitely comes out during the competition, then we would have a problem.” Noah said.
“Lest trust ourselves, we will and must surely emerge as the winner of this competition.” Aurella said, one could easily detects pride in her voice.
“Let’s prepare for the competition.” Noah said and they nodded.
Everyone stood up and started preparing for the competition.

★Supreme suite★
“Are we all ready?” Oliver asked buckling his shoes.
“No,am nervous,what if we fail today’s challenge and didn’t win this competition?” Harley asked from the bathroom.
“Don’t say that now,you’re making me scared” twinkle said.
“We won’t fail today’s challenge, we must emerged as the winner.” Charlie yelled rising to his feet raising his folded fist up. “And we will Merry and celebrate.” He said winking at twinkle.
“Pervert.” Twinkle laughed heartily.
“Am I the only one here who’s noticing Charlie and twinkle closeness to each other?” Harley asked pinching her eyebrow.
“They’ve been smiling, playing, talking and flirting with each other since the last challenge they won.” Anabella said thoughtfully.
“Love is a beautiful thing…” Eddie sang and they burst out laughing.
They hugged each other and embraced themselves before they went out to to the competition ground.

★ Competition ground★
“If you’re ready for today’s challenge and finale of the Fifth Academy Supernatural Contest, scream,yay! Yay! Yay!.”,Ariel yelled happily on the mic.
The student all screamed loudly that it shook the earth.
“Yes,I can see y’all are really ready.” She said beaming a smoke at them. “So today’s challenge would be a fitness contest.” She paused.
“Its a race contest, the first supernatural to reach the end of the line is the winner of today’s challenge, we will them sum up all points and announce the winner, is that understood?” Ariel asked,staring intently at them.
“Yes” they yelled.
“Now I need two students who haven’t participated in any challenge to step out.” She said.
– Noah and Lucas stepped out for the springers….. Spring academy.
–
– Nell and Theodore stepped out for the Mounters…. Mount academy.
– Aaron and Japheth stepped out for the Lakers…..lake academy.
“Dylan you can just sit back and rest,I’ll go alone.” Oliver said standing up.
“No I’ll just try…..”
“Its alright,you’re sick and stable,I can’t let you run in this your present conditions.” Oliver said cutting him off.
Dylan sighed and sat down back before he went out.
He walked to Ariel and raised a finger up. She nodded and he whispered something in her ears pointing at Dylan whose head was on Aurella shoulders.
She went over to the judge and told them the exact thing and they nodded in agreement they should let him be.
– Oliver alone for the supremas….. Supreme academy.
As instructed, they arrange themselves in a straight line.
‘At the count of three and a gun shot,you go” Ariel said and that nodded.
“1,2,3 and bang,a shot released.” They all ran off.
Oliver ran leading the challenge,noah and Lucas were coming behind him in a full furious speed but they were no match for the flash ahead of them.
Ahead of the athletes them was Aurella and her bunch of wicked teams.
“He’s coming, get ready.” she whispered to them.
“1,2,3,strike.” Ayra counted injecting a white substance in Oliver legs.
The substance sent shivers to his leg causing him to stagger,he lost balance and feel to the ground.
The medicine surges through him and he felt strangely weak.
Before he could compose himself Noah and Lucas were ahead of him.
He stood up and and tried running only for him to fall down again.
The seven competitors already ran last him making him the eight.
He tried again but stumbled and fell flat on the floor panting and groaning heavily in pains.
“Ohhh! My,what’s wrong with Oliver?” Harley cried panicked.

★Dungeon★
The metal doorclanked furiously against each other then it flung opened. A figure stepped in.
“Miss Ava” The figure who happened to be a guard called.
“They are here for me bethel, i should go.” Ava said to bethel.
“Yea take care of yourself.” Bethel said controlling the tears trying to make it way out of his eyes.
“I won’t forget my promise.” She said hugging him as well as patting his hairy head.
“Miss Ava, except you want to remain here,then it’s a good idea.” The guard said going out.
“Must you always be a jerk?” She scoffed hurrying out before he could lock the doors.
“Hurry to the competition ground, you won’t want to miss the finale.” The guard ignored her while she walked off immediately.
She sensed something wrong and hastened her footsteps.
Soon she was flying towards the competition ground.
She got to the completion and met it in total disarray, screams from the audience filled the air as they cheered their student participating.
Ahead of her she saw figure groaning and wriggling in pains. It didn’t take her five seconds to recognize it was oliver. She ran to him.
‘Oliver what’s wrong with you?, are you okay ?” She asked cupping his cheeks in her palm.
“The race… Final challenge… Run to the green line and win.” Oliver stuttered.
“The green line ahead of me?” She asked.
“Yes,go now.” Oliver said pushing her off with the last strength in him.
She turned and sped off. She ran like a chased lion and in a mater of a minute she was already in the fifth competition.
NB: don’t forget in the very first beginning of this story.. Chapter 5★6, Ava saved herself and her lecturer from a crashing building through her Superman speed. So don’t be confused on how she was able to get to the fifth position in a minute.
“Its Ava.” Twinkle said pointing at the figure who was outrunning the other competitors.
“Ava?’ Harley asked unbelievably.
“Go Ava, Go Ava.” Twinkle yelled and soon all the supremas were chanting her name cheering her which motivated her.
She ran a rounded bend to the left did and continued running.
Ava increased her speed,she was burning in anger and raging in fire.
She had read oliver mind and saw what Aurella and her gangs did to him.
She ran passed Aaron gaining the third position.
Noah had gotten the signal about ava release and doubled his speed knowing fully she would be running in replacement of oliver.
She sped towards him so that they were on the same lane and position. She stared at him and smiled before facing forward.
They both doubled up their speed and Ava could feel her strength draining out of her as she has not eaten anything tangible for three days now.
All the memories she shared began rushing to her,the little time she spent with them before coming to the competition ground Aurella’s hatred, twinkle kindness.
Then she thought about the gang up and denial of her she decided to let Noah win but a look at their smiling,happy face and their loud cheering which now filled the auditorium,
Oliver belief in her,Master Seth happiness…… Tears slipped out of eyes.
“Arrrrgghhhhh!” She yelled doubling up the last strength and energy in her,she ran past Noah cutting the finishing line….. She crashed down to the floor but she heard their loud joyful screams and with one last smile on her face, she felt her shoulders unburdened of her pains replaced by a new hope…. A new smile.
The supremas screamed joyfully running to Ava from the other end.
They got to her and made to lift her up but there was no slight movement from her.
“Ava” Twinkle called shaking her but still no response.
“She isn’t breathing” Twinkle said worriedly.
“Wait,lemme feel her pulse.” Eddie said. He placed his hands on her wrist and felt her pulse.
He placed his head on her chest trying to listen to her heartbeat but her breathing was gone.
He looked at them with years filled eyes understanding the situation, he shook his head painfully staring at the lifeless body of Ava…. Their heroine.
“Eddie tell us she’s fine?,tell me that she just fainted?” Harley asked fearfully.
“She’s…she…shes…gone..she died a heroine” Eddie said as the years found their way out.
“No,Eddie, its a lie.. Feel her pulse again, there’s a pulse somewhere right?” Amelia asked.
“No she’s dead,I can’t feel her pulse.” He said crying.
“Nooooo….Ava… Its not true”Twinkle yelled rushing to her. “Wake up… Ava its me…lemme tell you…we won.. We won the competition… Please wake up Ava” twinkle cried shaking her.
Charlie held her as she continued crying. The health officers came to take her body away and their wailings increased.
“We won but we lost a soul.” Amelia said.
Twinkle yelled, jumped up crying. She sat down on the floor and scattered her hair.
If there was anyone who felt the loss, then it was Twinkle.
They were all thrown into a fit of tears and pains in a matter of seconds.
There they were happy cheering, screaming,clapping and then there happiness was shattered by the sudden lost.
The boys tried their possible best to console the girls especially Twinkle who was losing her sense.
It was indeed the worst day of their life….if anyone had told me them something like this would befell them….they wouldn’t believe it. In fact it’s and unbelievable and unpredicted fate….the worst day of their entire existence.
