Secrets and soul ties
<h1>*Season 2,</h1><h2> Episode 4 </h2><h3>“Secrets and Soul Ties”*</h3><p><br/></p><p>The sun was bright, but something in the air felt heavy.</p><p><br/></p><p>Success sat in the school garden, lost in thought. Her fingers ran through the blades of grass as she tried to untangle the dream she had last night — a dream of blood, of someone crying her name, of Angelina… fading.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Babe,” a soft voice broke her thoughts. Angelina walked up, holding two cold drinks. “You look like you’re thinking of breaking up with me,” she joked with a laugh, sitting beside Success.</p><p><br/></p><p>Success forced a smile. “If I ever do that, just know I’ve been possessed.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Angelina chuckled, leaning her head on Success's shoulder. “You’re mine forever.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Meanwhile, Aisha and Amaka were inside the lecture hall, whispering over Zara’s absence. “She didn’t text or call?” Amaka asked.</p><p><br/></p><p>Aisha shook her head. “Nothing. And that’s not like her.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Suddenly, the door creaked open. Zara entered, eyes bloodshot, clothes slightly wrinkled. But what really struck everyone was her silence. She walked past without greeting anyone and sat alone.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Zara?” Aisha called.</p><p><br/></p><p>No response.</p><p><br/></p><p>Back outside, Raymond approached Denniem, eyes narrowed. “I saw you near the closed wing of the school yesterday. What were you doing there?”</p><p><br/></p><p>Denniem’s jaw tightened. “You were spying on me?”</p><p>“I was protecting Aisha. And you… were with someone.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Aisha overheard the last line and walked over. “With who?”</p><p><br/></p><p>Denniem turned to her, hesitating. “No one.”</p><p><br/></p><p>But his eyes said something else.</p><p><br/></p><p>The group gathered later that evening. Zara finally spoke. “There’s something in this school. Something… dark. I saw it last night.”</p><p><br/></p><p>She looked directly at Success. “And it whispered your name.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Success blinked. “Mine?”</p><p><br/></p><p>Angelina immediately grabbed her hand.</p><p><br/></p><p>Zara nodded slowly. “You’re part of this, Success. All of us are. But you… you’re the key.”</p><p><br/></p><p>—To Be Continued—</p>
