I woke up from the terrible dream I hard. In the dream, I saw myself strangling Jessica, the girl that followed me from school to the lodge to have fun.
Immediately I realised myself from the dream,I quickly got up and tapped Jessica but she refused to move.
"Jessica, Jessica, Jessica " I called and tapped her repeatedly.
She didn't answer me neither did she make a move. I began sweating profusely, praying to God to forgive me and revive her.
That was when I also realised that the white bulbs in the room has turned red and was wiggling. I could hear cracking sounds from the ceiling.
I called out to her again "Jessica, Jessica, pleasehear me out, wake up! " I pleaded amidst tears.
Immediately I left her to packed my things and got ready to leave her before being caught. I quickly glanced at the clock which tells exactly 2:00 am.
In fear of being caught, I stormed out of the room with my school bags and my sandals in my hand.
I quickly rushed to Kennedy, my best friend, in his one room apartment. I got to Kennedy's house and found it locked. I checked the locks and discovered it was only bolted from inside the house.
I knocked so loudly and Kennedy who was sleeping was forced to wake up to answer the door.
"Guy hwfr, watin you dey do outside by this time?" Kennedy asked as he opened the door and realises that it was me.
I looked at him for a while with a stern look on my face then pushed him aside and went inside. Kennedy knowing that my parents was never gonna let me out by that time kept bombarding me with questions.
I refused to answer because I was in So much shock, wondering what might have happened at the hotel. I couldn't sleep that night. Kennedy noticing how worried I was and sacrifice his sleep, just to keep me company.
The next morning Kennedy urged me to get prepared for school. I sluggishly did and together we both went to school together.
While at school I used my eyes to search if I would see Jessica but she was no where to be found. "Lord please, let this be a dream " I kept praying in my mind.
It was few minutes after break when the time prefect rang the bell. Every student was in awe as to the reason for the sudden ring of the bell.
Soon every one was out and they all gathered at the assembly ground. While at the assembly ground the principal climbed the alter/high ground and gave the announcement.—
"I am so sad to report to you that Jessica Clement, has passed away. She was found dead this morning in a hotel room, where she lodged with one of the students of this school. Although the police haven't identified the boy, since he wasn't seen by morning when the hotel cleaner found Jessica dead". The principal also went further to advise us.
While we all went to our classes my heart was busy pounding so fast especially as Kennedy kept staring at me, in a suspicious way.

***************
When I got home my parents who were already furious about me not sleeping at home last night thundered at me with a loud voice.
I was so silent unlike before. My kid bro who observed everything from the dinning came to sympathize with me after my parents left me.
I managed to eat very little that evening. I didn't eat much due to how scared I was. The memory of how Jessica died by my side kept running through my mind.
It was the first time I've ever seen a dead body, not to even talk of being the mu*derer . The food was tasteless on my tongue but I forcefully swallowed it.
Around twelve in the midnight in my sleep a heavy cold wind blow into my room through my opened windows. I could hear the sounds of trees cracking as the result of the wind.
I quickly stood up and went ahead to go ensure the parlour windows where properly locked. As soon as I stepped outside of my room, I noticed everything went silent.
I quietly, then, walked to the parlour, ensuring I made no sound so as to not wake anybody. On getting to the parlour I stared outside through one of the opened windows and noticed every where was quite.
I observed for a while before returning back to my room. As soon as I laid down to sleep, the wind began again. I picked up my pillow and blocked my ears.
However, blocking my ears wasn't enough because the wind grew too great that It broke the window's glass. I was so scared that I ran out of the room.
I walked towards my parents room which was slightly left open. I peeped through and saw that they were making out as a couple.
I didn't want to trouble them so I went to my younger brothers room. I asked him to adjust for me, which he did.
Everything was normal in his room, which left me wondering what was going on in my room. I was still lost in thoughts when I noticed the bulb in my younger brothers room was changing colours.
It was a white bulb, but gradually it transformed into a yellow bulb, then it further transformed into a red bulb.
My heart was pounding and I was about calling my junior brother, who was sleeping innocently like a baby, when I noticed blood dripping from the bulb.
I got scared and covered my face with a pillow. The next thing I knew, I was in a dream strangling my junior brother. He he repeatedly say " return that which you took". He said these words repeatedly until he had no breath left in him.
I woke up from the dream sweating profusely. The bulb was white again but bloods where still dripping, so I called my brother to get up so we can leave the room but my brother didn't respond to my calls.
