The Wishing Well – Season 2 Episode 4
Season 2
Episode 4
Darkness covered the atmosphere in the geographical area of the land. The four students had to gather inside Juel’s room for a serious deliberation and discussion over the issue at hand. There was no chair inside the room only a voluminous bed and a reading table. At a corner was a standing wardrobe. It was typical example of a student’s room. One could see Kiana sitting on the bed like a mallam, praying in a mosque. She wore only a bum-short and a blue shirt, while others sat at the edge of the bed, waiting for someone to break the silence. Suddenly, Anderson stood up and leaned against the wall as if to say something but he never said anything. Of course all of them was totally confused without knowing what to do. Just as the silence lingered, Kiana broke it saying, “Something happened in school today after I went back to take something from my office. I saw Mr Ade inside the control room.”
Hearing that, the other students became enthusiastic and curious to know what the VC of the university was doing in Kiana’s control room. Therefore they paid much attention for Kiana to continue.
“What was the old man doing in your office” Anderson asked her first.
“I don’t know! I just walked in and saw him there.. and..and..” Kiana stammered with hands opened like one who didn’t know where to start. “And.. and he saw an old newspaper that contains what happened after the accident. I don’t know! I thought I got rid of every news I wrote about the meteor rock that fell from the sky as a result of Nancy’s wish, but I was surprised to see one with him. Also, i saw another document of late Dr Danny saying that I must be held responsible for his death”
“Oh my goodness!” Nancy exclaimed.
“This is serious” Juel added.
Kiana continued. “I’m sure Dr Danny finally carried out his plans of making sure I die before or after him. I’m sure he made the agreement with the vice chancellor that I must be held responsible for his death. I thought he was joking when he said it, I never knew he meant it.”
All of them waited for the explanation to sink down into their ears.
“We have two problems.” Anderson began. “What are we gonna do now?”
“Let’s first focus on how to save our lives through Prisca Clinton” Juel replied then glanced at Kiana to see her staring at him suspiciously.
Anderson shook his head. “I don’t like that girl. Something in me tells me she’s not being sincere”
“We have no choice”
They became quiet again. Juel looked at Nancy and asked her, “What do you think?”
She rubbed her face like a child who woke up from sleep. “I can’t think now” she replied.
“Let’s try the so called Prisca” Kiana concured and was agreed by all of them.
After Anderson and Nancy left, Kiana covered herself with a blanket to sleep. She actually couldn’t sleep alone which resulted in sleeping in Juel’s room. Juel exhaled and joined her in the bed. He thought she was still upset with him, but when she suddenly turned to him in a way she laid her head on his chest, he felt loved and began to pat her back gently like a father consoling a crying child.
“Juel?” her voice came from his hairy chest. “I’m scared and frustrated by this whole thing. I just want to end my life”
“No, dear. You don’t run from problems rather you face and battle with them until you win. Therefore you won’t take your life and we must not die” he encouraged her.
“I love you, Juel”
“I love you too dear”
Kiana held him tightly still with her head on his chest then went to sleep.

On the other hand, Nancy had to also spend the night with Anderson due to fear and thought of her late boyfriend. When both entered into his room. She folded her arms and stood at a spot in order to survey the sanctum. She was on trousers and a shirt as usual. She saw nothing but a self contain apartment with a large bed at the corner. Anderson noticed her gaze.
“What?”
“Nothing”
“That’s the bathroom over here” he pointed at a spot. “Also, i can prepare something for you if you’re hungry”
“Don’t worry, it’s late” Nancy stepped inside.
“You can also use the bed” Anderson added.
Nancy sat at the edge of the bed and began to pull her trouser. “I hope you don’t mind. I like sleeping naked” she said.
Anderson glanced at her without saying anything.
“But since I’m with you, i won’t go totally nude; just my pant will remain” she was always like that; prompt and plain.
Anderson kept quiet as he also took off his clothes to allow silence pave around the room. After going naked, Nancy laid on the bed and covered her body half way. When she saw Anderson trying to sleep on the floor, she asked in a concern tone, “What do you think you’re doing?”
“Trying to sleep” he replied.
“On the floor? No no no, it makes me feel guilty and uncomfortable. Come up to the bed now or I leave your apartment this moment” she sounded more like a commander in chief of the police.
Without wasting time, Anderson joined her with a smile. Though both turned their back at each other.
“That reminds me, Anderson” Nancy began again. “You don’t talk about your girlfriend”
“That’s because I don’t have one” he replied.
“Why?”
“Is it mandatory?”
They remained silent.
“Nobody knows your wish at the well till this day. Do you mind telling me?”
“Can you go to bed, Nancy?”
“I’m already in bed”
“Then go to sleep”
Both remained silent until nature called them.

He hugged her from behind inside the control room in a way she felt his dick on her butt. she turned, smiling at him. “It’s work hour, Juel”
“You’re my work, Kiana” he kissed her.
She grinned happily. “You’re driving me crazy”
“I’m already crazy about you”
Both wanted to kiss again, but the door of the room opened. They disengaged from each other when they saw the policemen that entered.
“What’s it, officer?” Juel spread his hands.
One of the men walked to Kiana and said, “Kiana Desmond, you’re under arrest for the death of Dr. Danny Rubenstein” he handcuffed and pushed her towards the door.
Leaving through the door, Kiana turned back with tears in her eyes. “Please, help me, Juel” she kept repeating that until a hand touched her neck. She woke up from Juel’s chest only to find out thatvshe was dreaming.
“What is it, Ana?” Juel asked her. She couldn’t respond rather broke down in tears.
“Is okay. Everything will be fine” he began to pat her back once again.

THE NEXT MORNING.
Mr Clinton, Prisca’s father, met the daughter at the backyard where she was preparing to embark on a journey with the four students. One could see her, picking things in a hurry and filling her local bag with it.
“Prisca” the father called.
“Father” she replied without looking at him.
“Do you know the consequences of what you’re about to do?”
“I know exactly what I’m doing, father”
Mr Clinton stepped closer to her in a way he made her stop whatever she was doing to look at him. “You’re not saving those students’ life. You just want them for your own selfishness. I have told you to leave the well domant the way it is”
“No, father. This is my opportunity to reawaken the well with the blood of these students. You know how long i have waited to see people like them who have the
memory from Mr Chuks’ wishing well. Only their blood can reawake my own well. Then I’ll show Mr Chuks that my well is always greater than his” she got busy again.
“You don’t have to kill them”
“If I don’t kill them to reawaken my well, they still gonna die anyways. So what’s the need?”
Truly, as Anderson suspected. Prisca can not be trusted. She would actually be leading them to their doom instead of to save their lives…. :
