DANGEROUS LOVE
EPISODE 5
Iris felt devastated, she didn’t know what was happening to all her friends, JoJo looked like he pas-sed out, Michael was in flames and Aria was lying dead in her arms….. her mind travelled back to tow years ago….when she was at the school liBr@ry with her friends and the head teacher sent someone to come get her….she know she has always been in her best behavior so she wondered why their head teacher would ask to see her.
She remember the look in the head teacher’s eyes when she asked her to go home that there was an emergency, that moment she knew something was wrong but she held her hope ti-ght and prayed that everything was find.
She booked a taxi that would take her home but surprisingly one of her teacher came out with his car offering to drive her home.
She noticed the teacher took another root, a root that didn’t lead to her house but she was too afriad to ask him what was going on or where he was taking her too
Immediately teacher Emma parked in front of an hospital she doubted her guts and started to ask what they were doing there.
Iris didn’t get the opportunity to talk to her parents for the last time because before she could get there the mother was already dead, it was said that the father died at the sp-ot where the accident took place.
For a whole month Iris didn’t talk or even cry, she was just walking like a walking corpse and not mingling with anybody, her Gramma almost lost hope, she thought she has lost her granddaughter to grieve but she was proved wrong by her granddaughter’s friends…. they pushed her beyond limit till she cried her heart out and started to mingle again.
She couldn’t afford to feel such pain again, she prove to repay her friends for all the help they rendered when she was down…..how can she fullfil her promise if she jus seat back and watch her friends hurt or even die?
The fear of losing someone precious, someone dear drove her crazy and she screamed….. the room went on a pause like time had stopped, light shone brightly in the entire building….. a drop of tears fell on Aria’s forehead and she sneeze back to life.
A strong for-ce also pulled JoJo out from his trance….. non of them believe what their eyes was seeing, the couldn’t believe their friend was controlling time and light altogether.
Michael’s fire died off immediately his fear faded away, the death of Aria had triggered his power, same goes for JoJo too but it was Iris’s power that pulled JoJo out of his own trance.
ARIA
Are you controlling light right now?
JOJO
your eyes, they are white…..can you see me?
IRIS
(Breathing shakily)
you guys are okay? thank goodness
she said and started crying, the whole friends gathered together and hu-gged themselves crying… they didn’t un-derstand what was going on with them but they were glad they were okay.
They woke up from their sleeps only to meet their mothers seating beside their he’d side staring de-ep into their faces
IRIS’S GRAMMA HOUSE
She woke up from her sleep only to see her Gramma staring at her de-eply, she jumped up from the bed in fright screaming.
GRAMMA
calm down, it’s just a dream
IRIS
what are you doing granny?
GRAMMA
(She laughed wholeheartedly)
it’s must he tiring for you, go back to sleep we will talk tomorrow.
Before Iris could say jack Gramma turn off the light in her room and went out.
ARIA’S FAMILY HOUSE
she woke up to see her mother looking down on her like she was trying to strangle her or something, she panicked and jumped up immediately.
ARIA
are you trying to strangle me mum?
MRS JANE
(She laughed de-eply)
don’t be silly, why would I want to strangle my own daughter?
ARIA
what were you doing then? why were you staring at me like that?
MRS JANE
it must be really tiring, go back to bed, tomorrow we will talk…… goodnight.
she turned and walked away too without turning off the light because she know Aria hates darkness.
Same thing happened to Michael and JoJo too, they all couldn’t sleep so they came to the WhatsApp group JoJo created for just the four of them.
IRIS
what are you gusy doing online?
ARIA
I just woke up, I’m finding it difficult to sleep.
MICHAEL
me too…. I had a terrible dream
JOJO
me too….i have never been more scared in my entire life
IRIS
this is strange, I also had a terrible dream, that’s why I couldn’t sleep.
ARIA
(Trying to light off the mood)
I’m guessing you dreamt of your Mr Right
IRIS
actually I dreamt that you died.
MICHAEL
I dreamt that she died too and I could….
JOJO
(cuts in)
and you could control fire
ARIA
I don’t un-derstand, did we all had the same dream?
IRIS
I’m scared guys, what could be going on?
JOJO
the most annoying part is my mother, she’s acting weird… I woke up only to meet her staring at my face like she wanted to separate my soul from body.
ARIA
me too
MICHAEL
me too….. I thought it was absurd, but listening to you guys now I’m freaking out.
IRIS
when I opened my eyes too, Gramma was there staring at me….. it was like she could see what we pas-sed throu-ghin my dream…. she laughed and said “it’s must have been tiring, get some sleep tomorrow will we talk”
JOJO
now I’m convinced something is wrong.
MICHAEL
are our mothers witches or what?
ARIA
witches? jezz I have goosebumps.
IRIS
I don’t know but whatever it is, Gramma would have a lot to explain by morning.
They talked for a while before they all retire back to bed.
THE NEXT DAY
Iris and her friends waited for their mother to tell them what happened the previous night but they didn’t say a word…. they got anxious,curious and nervous that their mother’s might indeed be a witch just as they have thought.
IRIS
granny don’t you have something to tell me?
GRAMMA
I was about asking you same thing….. tell me about your dream.
IRIS
how did you know I had a dream?
GRAMMA
(she laughed)
even the blind can see, all they nee-d is the spiritual eyes…. I’m listening.
IRIS
“EVEN THE BLIND CAN SEE, ALL THEY nee-d IS THE SPIRITUAL EYES”?
(She repeated what her granny said)
GRAMMA
I know you are confuse, I was equally confused, but after last night I un-derstand why they didn’t choose your mother but choseos you instead.
she said and went into her room…. leaving Iris in a more confuse state.
“she has the power of light, she’s filled with light, oh my poor little granddaughter”
Gramma said to herself behind close doors

DANGEROUS LOVE
EPISODE 6
Iris and her friends return back to school on Sunday evening so they could get ready for Monday lecture.
they were all feeling sad and downcast because their parents didn’t give them the answers they wanted.
MICHAEL
I just still can’t believe those people made us come home just to eat food and come back to school.
ARIA
I did everything within to make my mum talk, but it was as if she swore an oath not to say anything.
IRIS
gramma’s own was the worse, she just kept looking at me like someone with tail and horn…..i just couldn’t wait to leave the house
MICHAEL
Are you alright JoJo? you have been silent ever since we got in
JOJO
(He sigh)
what if our mothers are witches that Su-ck blood? what if they want to initiate us into their bloody cult?
IRIS
common, it’s not as bad as you make it seem… beside I don’t think they would have allowed us grow to this stage if they want to kill or harm us in anyway.
ARIA
can we go to club?
MICHAEL/JOJO/IRIS
No!!!
They all chrous which made Aria shock, she wonder why her friends were so tense and scared of what they don’t know.
ARIA
why the chrous answer na? let’s just go and clear our heads.
IRIS
nothing you say today will make me follow you to the club, we should be looking for answers to our problem not keeping it aside and clubbing.
ARIA
and thinking or discussing it would make the problem go away?
JOJO
I’m very tired and I nee-d to sleep, see you guys tomorrow.
MICHAEL
I’m sleeping here, so JoJo keep a duvet for me
JOJO
sure think, common let’s go.
before Aria knew it all her friends have left her in the living room and had gone to their own room.
She felt frustrated and scared, she quickly got up and headed for her room, then leaveght went off…… she immediately started screaming which made all her friends run out.
MICHAEL
I thought you guys have a standby generator, why is it not on?
IRIS
I don’t know…. let me turn on my phone torch
before she could turn it on the light came back on, which made Aria to stop screaming, my and JoJo went outside to check what Happend to the gen.
They were shocked when they got to the generator room, the wire connecting to the generator was lying on the floor in pieces…. Michael bend down to check the eire.
MICHAEL
do you people have rats in this house?
JOJO
I’m as shock as you Michael, this doesn’t look like something a human would do.
MICHAEL
let’s leave this place please, I’m freaking out.
JOJO
me too, let’s go.
they went into the house to make the girls
IRIS
why didn’t the light come up?
MICHAEL
the wire of the Gen is scattered everywhere like rats came there to feed on it.
ARIA
i don’t un-derstand
JOJO
the whole wire have been eaten by something, we dont know what but we know one thing for sure that’s not something a human would do.
IRIS
so there’s no wire connecting the gen anymore?
MICHAEL
we have to replace it
ARIA
I’m going to sleep.
She said and went into her room, she looked very scared and worried.
The rest of the guys went into their rooms too.
TIME: 12:00AM
Gramma got up from her bed and went to the front door, she opened it and Mrs Jane Aria’s mother, Mrs Martha michael’s mother and Mrs Agatha JoJo mother were all standing at the door..
She gave way for the to come inside.
MRS MARTHA
the kids are no longer kids
(she said looking for a place to seat)
GRAMMA
but you all will agree with me that they ain’t ready for the mission on ground .
MRS JANE
my daughter wouldn’t let me rest, she knows something is up.
MRS AGATHA
what should we do? should we tell them?
GRAMMA
like I said they ain’t ready for the mission at hand.
MRS JANE
when will they be ready? you know it has come for us to hand over our powers
MRS AGATHA
I totally agree with you…. we ain’t getting younger any more and that’s the reason why the gods always choose a replacement, they know a time will come when we can no longer work like we use to when we were young.
GRAMMA
I know but
MRS JANE
No but Mrs Melissa…. we have to do what we can now before it’s too late.
MRS MARTHA
the kids are already freaking out, they have started seeing things that normal people would not see.
MRS JANE
they know my daughter is scared of darkness so they are using it against her….
MRS AGATHA
the other day a lady was murdered, by a fox…. up till now I’m still in schock.
GRAMMA
that should be on Mrs Jane, it’s her duty to sp-ot an evil Spirit, what was she doing that she didn’t know someone was in danger and nee-ded help?
MRS JANE
I’m getting old okay? my eyes are getting weaker each day and I can no longer see far within like I use to…..more reason why we should hand over power to our children.
GRAMMA
alright I will table the issue before the white elders and hear what they have to say
MRS MARTHA
that would be better, it’s not like we can’t retire, I’m sure we have all reach that stage.
GRAMMA
each day I feel my soul dripping away and I know it won’t be long before the spirit of death come knocking at my door.
MRS JANE
we will all die some day….. and without our powers I how long do you think we can live?
MRS AGATHA
once the power is gone we become vulnerable, weak, we will fall sick, lose our strength and even die……its just a matter of time before death knocks us all out.
MRS JANE
what are we going to do about the fox who has taken sleep from the eye of the city?
GRAMMA
I say we hunt it down and kill it
MRS AGATHA
I totally agree, it’s just a matter of time before everyone will start to panick.
GRAMMA
I will just go change into our uniform, i will be right back
(she said and went inside)
Mrs Jane could see evil, wherever or place evil is happening she can see it, that’s her own gift.
Gramma has multiple abilities, she could read mind, heal people, wipe memories, and can teleport people.
Mrs Martha has the power to fly, and she’s bless with strength too.
Mrs Agatha can controls light and rain, she could make rain to fall and she could curse a place not to witness rain for years……..
They all have their special abilities that was pas-s down to down by their mothers too.
Generations before them have no say on the person they are to pas-s their powers to, the elders always make the chosing.
This four mothers thought they are to pas-s down their power to their children but little did they know…….
