The mark
<h1>*Season 2,</h1><h2> Episode 5 </h2><h3> “The Mark”*</h3><p><br/></p><h4>The sky above the campus dimmed unnaturally early that evening. Clouds swirled like something was brewing — something not of this world.</h4><p><br/></p><p>Success lay on her bed, staring at the ceiling. Her mind replayed Zara’s words: *"You're the key."*</p><p><br/></p><p>Angelina entered quietly, carrying a bowl of rice and stew. “Eat something. You’ve been zoning out since that meeting.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Success sat up slowly. “Zara said she saw something. Something dark… and it whispered my name.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Angelina set the food down. “Zara’s always been a bit dramatic.”</p><p><br/></p><p>“She’s never been this serious,” Success said. “And I had a dream. Again.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Angelina paused. “Same nightmare?”</p><p><br/></p><p>Success nodded. “But this time, I saw... my name written in blood on a wall. And underneath it—Zara’s voice saying, *‘Protect the ones you love or watch them fade.’*”</p><p><br/></p><p>Meanwhile…</p><p><br/></p><p>In the library, Denniem, Aisha, Amaka, and Kunle gathered around an old book Raymond found earlier — a tattered journal of a student who went missing in 1999. </p><p><br/></p><p>The last page read: *"One of them bears the mark. When it awakens, the school becomes a gate."*</p><p><br/></p><p>“Mark?” Kunle asked, raising a brow. “Like a tattoo?”</p><p><br/></p><p>Aisha looked at Denniem. “Do you think it’s... someone we know?”</p><p><br/></p><p>Denniem shook his head slowly. “Or someone we trust.”</p><p>Cut back to Success — she stood up and walked to the mirror. She lifted her shirt slightly and gasped.</p><p><br/></p><p>A small, glowing symbol shimmered faintly beneath her rib.</p><p><br/></p><p>She screamed.</p><p><br/></p><p>Angelina ran in, eyes wide. “What is that?!”</p><p><br/></p><p>Success could barely breathe. “I think… I’m the mark.”</p><p><br/></p><p>—To Be Continued—</p>
