Before Nancy could get to the door, Anderson grabbed her like a monkey grabbing the branch of a tree. She shouted “Leave me! I must kill Mr Chuks myself!” she flung her legs like a creeping insect, struggling to stand.
“No, Nancy, you don’t have do this now. You have to take it easy” Anderson made sure she never left his hands.
“No, I must kill Mr Chuks!” she was still shouting.
On the other hand, Juel had gone to console Kiana who was on the floor crying like a baby. She thought everything had ended without knowing that it was just the beginning. So she became devastated and wished everything stop at the moment because she couldn’t bear it anymore. She was seeing her own death at hand just like everyone else inside the room. Though humans know that they gonna die one day, but having the knowledge you’ll die in a few days is frustrating. Therefore all, excluding Prisca, was shedding tears at the moment.
The atmosphere of silence paved around the room like the wave of wind in a graveyard except the sniffing cry of the women. Prisca looked at the four students, directed her eyes to dead Henry on the bed again and stared at him like one who could raise him from dead, but definitely she had no such power. She began, looking at the students, “Please let’s take it easy. Mr Chuks is dangerous. We must not let him know that you are aware of his secrets coz if he knows he will go extra mile to make sure that none of you remain alive and my own life will also be at stake.”
Hearing that, Juel stood up from the floor sadly, looked at her and said. “What must we do now?”
“We have to embark on a journey. Is like my father knows some kind of way to stop it but you guys need to trust me”
Anderson stood up from where he was consoling Nancy. “I don’t trust you! I don’t trust anyone at this moment, so you better go back to wherever you came from. I don’t even believe what you said!”
Prisca fired back. “Do you think I care!? Do you you think is my own life that is at stake here?! If you like push me away. I will not beg you to save your own life. Period!” She walked out of the room angrily.
The two boys stared at the direction of the exit, while the girls cried on the floor.
Everything was happening very fast and so confusing at the moment.
Juel had to run after Prisca who had left the room with anger. He met her on the way and dragged her back saying, “Please, we need you”
“Then why is your friend acting like I’m the devil here?!”
“I don’t blame him coz it’s just so hard to trust anybody now”
“Then let me go!” Prisca began to leave but Juel dragged her back again.
“Don’t go away. I believe you are an angel sent from above” he said with much hope in her.
Prisca couldn’t utter anything at the moment because the words of the handsome young man were like the words of a romantic guy who was about to lure her to bed. Therefore she couldn’t control her smile and said, “I knew you will be the only one to come and beg me, but no problem. I’ll still come back.”
“When are you coming back?” Juel asked.
“Tomorrow actually. I’ll see you at the basketball court. Though not to kiss you again but to just see you” she became charming in the eyes of Juel. “We can meet others from there, okay?” she added.
Juel exhaled as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulder. “Okay, no problem I’ll be waiting at the basketball court by 5:00pm tomorrow”
“Alright” Prisca catwalked out as usual.

On the other hand at Touch-Hill university, the Vice chancellor of the school accidentally opened a file he found in his office. He was a man of intelligence who sought for justice in all ramification. He was fair in complexion, tall but looked old. One could even see grey hair on his head. He brought out the file, placed it on his table and opened it. He couldn’t believe what he saw: the hand writing of late Dr. Danny on one of the papers in the file. It was written in capital letters which says, “HOLD KIANA DESMOND RESPONSIBLE IF I EVENTUALLY DIE”
He could see his signature below the message and that of late Dr Danny, but one thing was certain; he couldn’t remember when such agreement was made.
Therefore he became confused, closed the file, sat on his seat and began to think critically. How could Kiana kill Dr Danny and why would she do that? He was thinking very fast. Suddenly, his memory went blank. He couldn’t think of how such thing happened or when the agreement was made at the first place. How would he know that the hands of the clock was turned back thereby rendering everyone’s mind blank about all incident that happened after the accident? Dr Ade, the vice chancellor, wanted to know the truth about the paper he found in his office, so he stood up and walked out of the office, straight to Kiana’s control room.
His shoes was an italian product, shinning and reflecting the evening sunlight as he walked along the school environment. Students greeted him, but he neglected their greetings because he was pursuing something much more important than the familiarity they wanted to bring up. He wore a brown suit over a bogus trouser that fit only old men of his age. When he stepped into the building that contains Kiana’s office, the sound of the shoes attracted Judge, the psychopath. Therefore he came out from one of the halls, staring at the vice chancellor who was walking like a police officer, rushing to arrest a victim.
“Sir!” Judge called him.
The old man looked back to see that it was the psychopath, so he neglected him ‘Excuse me, sir” Judge called again, rushing to meet him.
To avoid the distraction, the old man stopped and looked back. “Yes? What’s it, Judge?” he asked sarcastically.
Judge looked at the paper in his hand. “What do you have in your hand, sir?” He asked him.
“How is it your business?” Dr Ade fired like a barking dog. Therefore Judge became quiet and timid like a child who was denied from his favorite food. He sheepishly moved away from the old man.
The VC opened Kiana’s control room. He looked around to see it well kept with all the computers and every other documents intact. Nobody was in the room except him. So he began to search around with his eyes to see whether there would be an
evidence related to the one he found in his office. Just then, he saw an old newspaper under one of the tables. It wasn’t really visible, only a tip of it was. Dr Ade bent down and dragged out the newspaper from under the table, he read the news on the paper but couldn’t remember when such thing took place in the school. He could see the heading of one of the news on the paper which says, “Meteor rocks fall in Touch-Hill university” He could also see the image of the rocks and everything it damaged. So he became confused once again. When did such thing happen in Touch-Hill university? He couldn’t remember. Only then did he seriously believe that Kiana Desmond had urgent questions to answer. He folded the newspaper and began to walk out of the room.
Before Dr. Ade opens the door, he saw Kiana also coming through the same door in a way both stared at each other.
“Good evening, sir” Kiana greeted with much confusion in her head.
The old man didn’t return the greeting rather walked back into the room with the young girl. However, Kiana had been so worried to see the almighty vice chancellor of Touch-Hill university inside her control room which had never happened before. She didn’t know whether to think it was for a good purpose or a bad one. She totally became mesmerized thoughtless of the timely death situation she found herself into. Nevertheless, she spread her hands in the air and asked with a faticious smile saying, “Sir, what are you doing in my office?”
The old man didn’t say anything but kept staring at her to collect related data from her character which made Kiana think she was into some kind of trouble which, of course, she was.
Dr. Ade threw the newspaper on the table for Kiana to see. When she sighted it, her heart skipped because she thought that she had gotten rid of every written news about what happened after the accident, but was unlucky to see one thrown on her table by the VC of Touch-Hill university. That was a bad thing for her.
“Can you explain when this happened in Touch-Hill university, Miss Desmond? Dr Ade asked her.
“Sir, are you sure this happened in Touch-Hill university?” Kiana returned the question with a quivering voice.
“Don’t be ridiculous, Miss Desmond. “Dr Ade took one step towards the newspaper and pointed a finger on it saying, “Look at your name on it as the author, look at my school environment and you are asking me if this paper is of this school. Are you okay, miss Desmon?”
Kiana remained mute. She didn’t know what to say again because she had been caught red handed. How could she explain to the old man her dark secret which had come up again to torment her to death? How could she open up to him? of course she knew that if she does, it would make the whole issue more complicated. Hence, death was calling her from all angles. So she became confused and didn’t know what to say. Just as she wallowed in such obnoxious and woozy attitude, Dr Ade threw another paper on the table saying, “Okay, look at this. I saw it in my office few minutes ago and it is late Dr. Danny’s hand writing with my signature and his in it, but what I don’t understand is how and when such thing happened. So tell me, Miss Desmond, what is really going on in my school?”
After a series of silence inside the room, Kiana said, “Sir, I am as confused as you are. I don’t know how and when I even wrote this news”
“Are you kidding me, Miss Desmond? Are you trying to tell me that you don’t know about a newspaper that has your name on it as the author, the name of my school and some images found within my school? This is ridiculous!”
Another silence creeped in between the two people. They could hear the shouting and chattering of students outside but none of them paid attention to it, all they could think of was the situation at hand; the discovery of a news that never happened in Touch-Hill university which, of course, happened but nobody had a memory of it except Kiana and her friends.

Nevertheless after the tranquility lingered, Dr Ade took the papers, folded them and walked out of the room. Of course Kiana knew that another bad thing was coming on the way, therefore she collapsed on a chair behind her and packed her hair backwards like a frustrated entity. She was really tired of the whole thing.
