Slindokuhle's POV:
My eyes were heavy. I opened them slowly and checked my surroundings. I was in a house. My feet were chained up, and a white cloth covered most of my body.
Was I kidnapped?
I couldn't understand if this was a dream or reality.
A beautiful, light-skinned girl came up to me, with a snake around her neck.
It was black and yellow. I was nervous as her loud heels clicked and smashed against the chestnut brown floorboards.
Her smile was intimidating, and goosebumps made their arrival on my skin.
Amahle: "So, it's you. The chosen one. You look like a lost cause."
It was Sthembiso's plus one from the party.
This was a dream.
She wouldn't approach me with a snake.
Slee: "The chosen one."
Amahle: "Your skin is so fair and very pretty."
She came closer and rubbed my stomach. Her hands were cold and rough, causing my scars to form.
I winced in pain as I tried to kick her.
My body froze from the energy I was receiving. Dark and enormous.
It was the devil itself. Powerful.
A lady in black entered the house.
Sthe's plus one handed her the snake.
She smirked and came closer.
My head wasn't responding to the dark energy. I felt dizzier as she placed the snake around my neck.
It started to strangle me.
I couldn't breathe.
My veins popped, and my face was blood red. I couldn't scream for help. My voice wasn't audible enough.
My eyes rolled back as I accepted faith.
Within seconds, the door flung open, and Sthe entered.
He was dressed in traditional attire.
He touched the snake, and it disintegrated in minutes.
It turned into dust.
I barely said in a whisper.
Slee: "Sthe..."
Sthe: "Shhh, don't say anything."
Slee: "H-how did y-y-you find me...)
Sthe: "You are my wife, I am supposed to know."
Reality snapped.
Slee: "Wife...."
Sthe: "Mhm"
He kept on stroking my hair as he released me from the chains. What does he mean? I was confused.
Shocked to be specific.
His words caught me off guard as I continued to lay on his chest.
He14 had blood on his hands and tears in his eyes.
He sang me a lullaby my grandma used to sing all the time.
My eyes widened, and the pain eased.
I kept on hearing my name repeatedly.
:"Slee..."
: "Slee..."
Neo: "Slindokuhle DLAMINI!"
I jolted up from the bathroom floor. Water dripping from my soft hair.
Slee: "What happened?"
Neo: "Yoh chomi! You were drunk asf. You kept on vomiting like there is no tomorrow. You shocked us with your dancing skills!"
Dancing, drunk?
I looked up to see myself in a bathroom. Coated with black tiles and a marble design on the ground.
Neo held my head up and led us outside.
Slee: "Where is Sthe?"
Neo: "HA woah!!! u-Sthe uyenzani manje?"
Slee: "No, like a snake, forest, powers..."
Neo: "I'm sober, and you are drunk. You passed out for about 3 minutes. It's like you and Sthe are joined together. You both passed out and woke up at the same time. Both of ya ruined the party ma, bow it's time for us to go..."
She held me and dragged me to the car.

Sthembiso's POV:
I felt some water going through my nostrils. I dashed straight up from a bed. It was soft, but it wasn't my room.
Sthe: "Ai, tse* Siya!"
I wiped the water dripping from my hair.
Siya: "You passed out with your hun, bruh. For about 3 minutes!"
I shook my head in disbelief .
Sthe: I don't date. I attract, hit, then pass."
I take off my shirt, which exposes my torso.
Siya: "i-HIV yona?"
Sthe: "Haibo, I don't hit sick, baba! Si clean this side."
Siya shakes his head.
Siya: "Imma head out. The party is wild."
He walks out and closes the door behind him.
My exhausted bdy hits the mattress, and I rest onto the pillow.
The dream I had was crazy. I've been seeing Slee a lot. The boy was doing our child, but I was confused. The dreams are getting more and more confusing. My body keeps on attracting Slee's soul. It's like we are meant to be.
My body couldn't respond to my brain's request to sleep.
I was distracted. Slee flooded my mind.
Seeing her with Tyler made me a bit jealous. It made my blood boil for sure.
I rolled my eyes at the silly thought.
Midnight struck, and people started to leave. Amahle kept o calling and looking for me, but I told Siya to distract her. I was tired.
Did I really like Slee, or was it a form of affection.
I guess we will never know.
