Unravelled Mysteries

Elise

I felt like I was dying. Whatever that Lex breathed into me, it was definitely poisonous and toxic.

I don't like it. I don't...

This is so... tiring...

"Wake up!" Who? Who? I saw Michael, Varus, and Wayne. Having no idea what happened, I was at a loss.

"I'm... sorry..." I murmured. I felt like crying for being so useless.

"It's alright... how are you?" Wayne was holding his hand up to my forehead. Varus and Michael, on the other hand were discussing something.

"Something's not right, Michael. Something's different. Just different. I can feel an aura around her." Varus' voice...

"There's nothing wrong, so just..." Michael paused.

"Michael, I assign you to be the substitute teacher for the class that Elise is in. You have to keep an eye on her 24/7." Wayne was holding on to my hand and at the same time speaking to Michael.

"Tell me, what is wrong with me?!" I had no energy to stand up, and I was already straining my voice.

"It's nothing. The poison has just left your body, so you will be weak for a little while. We need you to have extra protection just in case of another attack." Wayne released his hold on my hand.

"Michael? Please send Elise home. She needs to have ample rest. Besides, bringing her away from earth too long may result in her parent's suspicion." Michael nodded and gestured for me to walk first. How could I refuse his gracious offer? I tried my best to get up and leave that bed where I lay weak for who knows how long.

"Michael, you're my teacher now... and in my school... I will need your help significantly. Another thing, if I imagine something, will it appear in reality now?" Something's wrong with the school. It's always never normal.

"What's with your school? Uhm, about that, maybe it will." I shook my head gravely. It's not that I hated them. Their behaviour was atrocious, unacceptable.

"Unacceptable? I can understand that. You have suffered so much. It's alright; you have me now." I knew he could read my mind. My head rested on his shoulder, as we teleported back to earth.

I appeared in front of my house. Michael wasn't with me. I looked round, no trace of him at all. He was with me, why would he leave me? Was he somewhere else already?

"Mom, Dad, I'm home!" I picked up my pace when they didn't reply, and what I heard was heavy breathing and sounds of screaming.

What the hell?

"Leave, please! We have nothing here that you want!" I heard a slap in the face. That was my mom!

"How dare you, Jeanna. You married one of our enemies. You must vanish from the face of this earth." I was looking at the horror - filled scene, as I saw the unknown person made my mom levitate with just a bare hand.
