Tangled Ties

Chapter 13: She was me

 I am in my room on my bed trying to sleep but I don't know why I can't sleep. Abigail is sleeping beside me peacefully. Its already one hour since I am staring at the ceiling. I am so worried about Sophie. I wonder what she is doing.

"What are you doing?" Abigail asked me in half sleepy state, breaking the chain of my thoughts.

"You sleep!" I replied and Abigail started snoring within seconds.

Should I go and check out what Sophie is doing? Or should I just try sleeping? What if Sama and Salu are torturing Sophie? I must go help her.

I nodded and decided to check on Sophie. Slowly I got out from my bed. I had to avoid making noise, Abigail was sleeping and I couldn't wake her up or she wouldn't have let me go. Tiptoeing, I got out of my room. All 3 rooms were closed. Maybe all of them were asleep. Maybe I was overthinking or maybe I wasn't.

Without thinking anything I went inside Sophie's room. And there she was typing something on her laptop. Maybe she was doing the assignment that Sama told her to do. I went beside her and turned to the screen. My guess was right, she was doing the assignment. I turned to the alarm clock; I it was 11:50 pm. I wondered if she was doing it for herself or for that girl. I didn't want to go back to my room so I sat on the couch and watched her do her work. There came a moment Sophie turned to me and her tired face changed into scared one. Maybe she felt as if someone was staring at her just the way Rose once did. Then I got out of her room, I couldn't let the history repeat.

Then I wanted to see what the other girls were doing. First, I went inside Salu's room. It was all dark and I could even hear her snoring. Salu was asleep.

After that I went towards my parent's room, I'd never call it Sama's room. The door was locked from inside. Maybe she too was asleep and as I was about to go back to my room, I heard Sama laughing. That girl was still awake. I couldn't stop myself from going in.

The bed lamp was on. Sama was lying on the bed with both earphones plucked inside her ears. She was blushing. Maybe she was in call with someone. Whatever why should I care!

"We have got a servant for free." Sama said in an excited way. I don't know what the other person replied.

"She's one of my class mates. Salu and I have good control on her." Sama added in a proud way, which seemed too fake.

I felt so angry when she said that. I wouldn't have cared if it was not about Sophie. Should I scare the hell out of her? Or should I let go?

"Okay okay Good night." Sama said and took out the earphones from her ear.

"I am so tired!" She said it loud and stretched her arms. That girl was crazy in every aspect.

"Sophie did all the works, not you!" I shouted back, wishing she could her me.

Surprisingly! The expression in her face changed. She looked confused. She looked at me and then around the room.

"I'm just tired." She tried convincing herself.

I had control over few things and I decided to scare her using some of my powers. It wouldn't even be misusing the power.

Sama turned off the bed lamp and covered herself with the blanket. Wow! She dug her own graveyard. Now it was my turn to do the job.

I walked to the bed and sat beside her.

"Samaa!" I slowly whispered in her ear.

Sama panicked and turned on the light. She was breathing super-fast and was already sweating. It was kind of satisfying watching the evil suffer. She looked super scared.
