"not again!!!" she screamed using the pillows to cover her ear, she was sweating profusely with tears on her eyes.
"What's going on Michelle" her mother asked worried, "how long has this been going on?" "Answer me Michelle, talk to me" her mother asked tapping her but she didn't say anything.
Silence.
Leave my room please, all of you, Michelle said getting up, "but Michelle....." She didn't let her mum complete the statement, leave my damn room she screamed panting heavily, her sister and her mum left and she locked the door behind them.
What's going on? I thought I'm safe at home, they've found me, this is bad, I have to do something fast"
Many thoughts ran through her head, she was very down and she knew she needed to act fast but what was she supposed to do? "Urgh... She hit her head on the bed stand.
She didn't complete her sleep, she thought and thought and thought and felt like she was going crazy every minute, it kept haunting her, the spirits of the past, she knew somehow the spirits were linked to her school because anytime she takes a nap she finds herself in her school.
"Maybe I need to go back to school". She thought, would mother let me? Mother thinks I'm very ill but I'm not, I just have to convince her that I'm well enough to go back to school, she muttered some words to herself and slept off. Surprisingly as she had thought, she stopped having nightmares, it was really strange to her and at some point she got scared. "Why aren't they attacking me anymore? Are they planning something great for me!?" Many thoughts ran through her head but unknown to her, the spirits wanted her back to school, so when they heard her thoughts they decided to stop to make her mum believe she's well enough to go back to school
"Mum, mum" I want to go back to school..... Michelle said grabbing a drink from the fridge, "you're not okay yet my love, perhaps next week? We'll have to make sure you're pretty good before you leave for school okay? Her mother said looking at her, Michelle could see the love and care in her eyes and she hugged her, I love you mummy, "awwwnn, I love you more" her mum said snuggling her.
Days ran fast and Michelle's mother finally decided that Michelle was fine enough to resume, she was really excited, she smiled all through the day, while rejoicing that she's been having a good sleep without nightmares and other unfriendly things. Why she stopped having the nightmares was still bothering her but she shoved it off, she wanted to enjoy the little peace of mind she had.
Finally, her mother agreed to allow her to go back to school, she was mad excited and packed up.
"Why are you going so soon?" Her sister asked sadly as she watched her pack her bags "you promised you'll stay longer right? So why packing up so soon" her sister added sadly. "Awwnn, I'm really sorry pookie, I need to go fix something ok? And it's mad urgent, I promise I'll be fine and I'll come home as soon as I can" Michelle replied to her and gave her a tight hug, "I'll miss you" she said with tears in her eyes, "I'll miss you more darling, but I'll be home when I'm done okay take care of yourself and mummy and your baby brother" Michelle said and gave her a peck on the cheeks.
She was excited that she'll finally to back to school.
Her mum dropped her off at her school gate, "be a good girl Michelle and if you need anything, call me okay?" Her mum said and zoomed off.
Michelle sighed, I'm finally back. "Knock knock" I'm coming Sandra said and opened the door, Michelle!! Omg I'm so glad to see you, how're you?" I'm okayyyyy.
