Airplane

CHAPTER 5

Aleni's heart skipped a beat as she read the message on the airplane. She was starting to get paranoid about who could be leaving these notes for her. As she closed her locker and started to make her way out of school, she couldn't help but glance over her shoulder every few seconds, feeling like someone was following her. She decided to take the bus, just to feel safer.

The more Aleni thinks about the poem, the more curious and anxious she becomes. She wonders who could have sent the airplane and what their motives are. She decides to go home and do some research on the symbol and the child of the sun, hoping it will provide some answers.

As she dives deeper into her research, she begins to uncover some interesting information about the symbol. She discovers that it is an ancient symbol that represents the sun and has been used for centuries in various cultures and religions. She also learns that the child of the sun is a figure in mythology who is believed to have been born from the sun.

Aleni is fascinated by all of this information, but she still doesn't understand why someone would send her a message about it. She spends hours trying to connect the dots, but she can't seem to make sense of anything.

As the days pass, Aleni becomes more and more paranoid. She feels like someone is watching her, following her every move. She can't shake the feeling that something bad is going to happen.

One day, as she's walking home from school, she hears footsteps behind her. She turns around, but no one is there. She quickens her pace, and the footsteps behind her speed up as well. She starts to run, and the footsteps turn into a full sprint.

Aleni doesn't stop running until she reaches her front door. She's out of breath and shaking with fear. She looks around, but she can't see anyone. She goes inside and locks the door behind her.

For the rest of the night, Aleni can't stop thinking about the footsteps. She wonders if they were just her imagination or if someone really was following her. She decides to keep a low profile and stay out of sight as much as possible.

The next day at school, Aleni tries to act normal, but she can't shake the feeling that something is wrong. She avoids going to her locker, hoping to avoid any more messages or threats.

But as she's walking down the hall, she sees a paper airplane flying towards her. It lands at her feet, and she picks it up. Inside, there's a note that says, "You can run, but you can't hide.  Find the moon child before those who are undead find you."

Aleni feels a chill run down her spine. She knows she needs to do something, but she's not sure what. She decides to talk to Allan about it, hoping he can help her make sense of everything.

As she's walking towards Allan's classroom, she sees a shadowy figure lurking in the hallway. She tries to get a better look, but the figure disappears around the corner.

Aleni's heart starts racing. She knows she's not safe. She needs to find out who's behind all of this and stop them before it's too late.

Aleni spends most of the evening thinking about the poem and what it could mean. She has a feeling that it might be related to her, but she can't quite figure out why. She wonders who the moon child could be and what their connection to the sun child is.

The next day at school, Aleni can't concentrate on anything. She keeps thinking about the poem and what it could mean. She decides to ask Allan if he knows anything about it.

"Allan, do you know anything about a moon child?" she asks him during lunch.

Allan looks at her curiously. "Why do you ask?"

"I found another paper airplane in my locker with a reference to the child of the sun and the moon child," Aleni explains.

Allan's eyes widen in surprise. "That's interesting. I don't know anything about a moon child, but I do know that the symbol of the sun is associated with the temple of Apollo."

"The temple of Apollo?" Aleni asks, intrigued.

"Yes, it was an ancient Greek temple dedicated to the god Apollo. It's said to be a place of healing and prophecy," Allan explains.

Aleni nods, taking in the information. She wonders if the poems and the symbols have anything to do with the temple of Apollo.

Later that day, Aleni is walking home from school when she sees a shadowy figure following her. She quickens her pace, but the figure keeps following her. She turns around, but there's no one there.

Aleni starts to feel scared. She quickens her pace even more, but the figure seems to be getting closer. Suddenly, she feels a hand on her shoulder. She turns around, ready to defend herself, but it's just Naemi.

"Hey, Aleni, you okay?" Naemi asks, looking concerned.

Aleni lets out a breath of relief. "Yeah, I'm fine. I just thought someone was following me."

Naemi looks around, but there's no one there. "I don't see anyone. Maybe it was just your imagination."

Aleni nods, feeling foolish. "Yeah, maybe you're right."

As they continue walking, Aleni notices that Naemi has a pendant with a symbol on it that looks familiar. It's the symbol of the sun.

"Naemi, where did you get that pendant?" Aleni asks, pointing to the symbol.

"Oh, this? It was my grandmother's. She was Greek, so it's a symbol of the sun god, Apollo," Naemi explains.

Aleni's heart starts to race. Could this be a coincidence or is there more to it? She wonders if Naemi knows anything about the poems or the symbols, but she doesn't want to scare her off by asking.

They reach Aleni's house, and Naemi says goodbye, promising to see her at school tomorrow. Aleni goes inside and sits at her desk, thinking about everything that's happened. She wonders if the shadowy figure was just her imagination or if there really is someone following her.

As she's lost in thought, she sees another paper airplane on her desk. This time, it's blue and has a reference to the moon child and the sun child coming together. Aleni feels a chill run down her spine. She doesn't know what it means, but she knows it won't be fun.
