CHAPTER FIVE (My nightmare)

Without looking at the direction of the voice, I instinctively discerned the nature of customer. She she fell into the category of those customers who enjoy taunting others. The childish act of the customer almost made me laugh, but I just held it in.

"Sir, please continue with your order" I said to the customer I was attending to.

"She must be kidding me. She's ignoring us!" The annoying customer barked.

"Hey, young girl respect yourself! Can't you see that she's attending to some other people." The lady in her fourth's defended me.

"Mind your business wretch!" The annoying customer insulted the nice lady and I had no choice but to intenvane, "Please be professional. It's against pop policies to insult an employee and a customer. I'll respond to you when I'm done with this nice couple over here. or better still, they're other waiters and waitresses, they'll take your orders." I said and realised by just looking at them that they were highschool students.

"Whoa! I didn't know the cripple could talk." the guy said. It was clear that they wanted trouble and I wasn't ready for that.

"Jacob please Come and take the orders of this customers. I have to respond to this couples." I was about to walk away when she held onto my wrist, "Where the hell do you think you're going to!" She yelled.

Without hesitation, she grasped Fiona's wrist, causing Fiona's head to snap up as though she had been struck by a bullet.

*glimpse into the Future*

They were all running from something when she tripped on her own feet, "ugh!" she groaned.

"Ella!"her boyfriend called out to her.

"Get up! It's Coming." He ran back to get her but it was already too late. A menacing figure thrust a sword into her upper back.

"Get up! It's Coming." He ran back to get her but it was already too late. A manacing figure thrust a sword into upper back.

"No!" He screamed. But there was another voice Fiona heard; it sounded familiar, like her's. She took a closer look and saw a girl with same legs as her. But her face wasn't clear. As she was about to take a closer look at her, she came back to reality. Even after she was back, she still wasn't herself. She looked so lost which left all the customers at the restaurant confused.

"What's wrong with her! She keeps acting strange!"

"I think she's possessed."

"The way she swung her head up was so creepy. It looked like a scene I saw in a horror movie!"

I, myself didn't know what happened. I didn't know I could see people's future. The most confusing part was when I heard my voice and saw someone with my type of legs in her Future. Moreso, if she was going to die, how come I don't see a black shadow around her?

"That's because she is not dieing soon" willow responded.

"This is too much for me." I mumbled to myselve before running out, almost bumping into the chief chef and the others who came to see what the ruckus cause of the ruckus was.

I was at the terrace during my entire shift. when it was closing time I came down, only to see the manager of Pop Fashion and Makeup in the restaurant with Olivia. I would have pondered over what to say when they ask me where I was but i just didn't the strength. I just stood there lost in thoughts. While I was busy with my thoughts, I heard Olivia's voice. "Fiona come over here." I sluggishly walked over to where she was sitted with the manager, who was looking breathtaking in my design and makeup. The colour matched her eyes colour and it complemented her skin.

"You're Fiona, right?" The manager asked and I nodded.

"Nice.Your design is one of a kind. It really speaks to lots of people· I'm really proud of you."

"Thank you." Hearing her say that made my day better; It cheered me up a little.

"There's a party tomorrow and as the designer of the latest and newest design you're expected to be there." I was about to rebel when, "You have no choice, it's an order."

I sighed weakly then nodded, "I'll try my..."

"I don't want you to try your best, I want you to be there." She interrupted me in a firm tone before standing to leave. "I'll see you at the party." She walked away and Olivia followed.

I came out of the Fashion studio, boaded a cap and headed striaght home.

"Grandma, grandpa, I'm back." I said immediately I entered the living room.

"Fiona my darling, go and join your grandparents and cousin in the dinning room." My grandmother instructed me as she entered the living room. I Froze for one second seeing as I couldn't fathom if I heard right or not. "Cousin! Don't tell me Kate is here." I hoped for a good news, despite knowing the fact that the chances of that was slim. My grandmother simply nodded in respond. I had a lot to say, but then it dawned upon me that Kate held a special place in our grandmother's heart. We only ever became close because of the accident that happened years ago.

"Look who we have here, it's my favourite cousin sister." She approached me with a fake smile. I'm guessing my grandparents didn't even notice that the smile was fake. She had always been a talented manipulator. In contrast, I lack such finesse. But I had no choice but to feign delight.

She looked down at my legs, then gave a pitied expression. "Poor thing!" Classic Kate. She just had to say one of the many statement I hated most in my life. But as the well comported person that I was, I decided to ignore. She observed I wasn't interested in her jibes, she proceeded to intensify the taunts.

Her gaze returned to me, her expression exuding even more pity. "It looks like your legs didn't get any better. Infact, it look worse than it was years back."

She leaned in on me and whispered. "No wonder you've been single your whole life."

I gazed upon her, torn between the choice of speaking or remaining silent, until I ultimately concluding that any response would be futile.
