POWER UNLEASHED 5
Sirens could be heard round the city. Ambulances parked outside the castle to treat the students that were injured.
The police had arrived to keep things under control, while the fire fighters battled with the fire.
The press were allowed to pass through the gate of the castle, but they couldn't get into the castle.
When they saw Madam Elizabeth coming out of the castle, they all rushed towards her and began to bombard her with questions.
"Mam, is it true that all these chaos was caused by some strange force from the castle? ".
"Madam,..can you please tell us, how did all these disaster took place?
Please tell us "
"One at a time please. First of all, the castle has nothing to do with all these chaos. It could be from anywhere.
Secondly, I don't know how it started ",Madam Elizabeth said.
She tried to move away, but won't allow her.
"How can you say that all these elements from nature could be from anywhere madam? ",a journalist asked.
"And what's that suppose to mean? ",she faced the journalist.
"Well according to our discovery, five hundred years ago, it was stated that eight beings,possessed some strange elements. Is it possible that history is repeating itself again? "
Annoyed by this, Madam Elizabeth said, "History isn't repeating itself. This is just a normal thing that can happen to anybody. I'm hundred percent sure that it's caused by nature itself and nothing.
Please excuse me".
The press still wanted more answers. But Madam Elizabeth ignored them.
She headed for the hostel, where the fire fighters were putting out the fire.
There she met the authorities of the Golden city education office. They were waiting for her.
When she got close to them, the authorities began to mock her.
"What was that you said... Oh yes!!!
History can never repeat itself, because it's nothing but a fallacy ".
"The signs are around Elizabeth. We warned you about this".
"You should be lucky that none of the students died".
"You still have the chance to close the castle down. We don't want what happened hundred years ago to repeat itself".
They all said to her.
But she acted as if they didn't exist.
The authorities wanted to laugh at her, for thinking that she could make history of her own.
One if the authorities then said, mocking her, "What was that you said to us the other day.. We should invite our president of authorities to your orientation right?
But I guess it won't be able to hold any..... "
"Don't get too excited or you might injure yourself ",she said, facing all of them.
"The orientation will still take place. But not tomorrow as I expected. It will be next tomorrow, 10am on the dot.Just make sure your president isn't late",she smirked.
One of the authorities scoffed and said, "You're raising your shoulder like a Baboon Elizabeth. You don't want to learn at all".
"And you need to stop chattering like a parrot. Like I always say, all those histories about this and that happening in the castle.., is nothing but a fallacy ".
Just then, one of the Fire fighters came to meet her.
"Madam, the fire is out. It wasn't that serious. But it only burnt two of the new rooms in the hostel. The ones you closed",the fire fighter said.
Madam Elizabeth smiled and said, "Thank you so much ".
"All that remains is the ice. We'll break them down now".
"As you wish. Thanks again".
The fire fighter went to meet the others.
Madam Elizabeth turned to face the authorities, who were boiling in again, because of her stubbornness.
She smiled and said, "You heard the man. It's not serious. Now you can leave ".
"Let's go, before I curse the day I stepped my into this castle",one said furiously and walked away. The others also followed.
Madam Elizabeth watched them as they left. Then she faced the hostel, and wondered how all these things happened.
Meanwhile, somewhere inside the hostel, Blessing was hiding and running from one room to the other.
"Oh my creativity!!
Oh my creativity!! ",she panicked.
She got to an open area, where the sun shone inside through the window.
Fear gripped her immediately.
She began to walk gently and slowly, so that she doesn't enter the light. She nearly passed that area, when we feet entered the light, and light filled the whole area.
She screamed and began to run like a crazy woman.
She ran into different directions with thinking. Until she bumped into Ganiyat.
Blessing looked at Ganiyat, and saw her head was on fire. She screamed again and wanted to run. Quickly, Ganiyat held her arm and said, "Blessing It's me.
It's Ganiyat! ".
"Ouch!! ",Blessing shouted and pulled her arm away from her.
She had mistakenly burnt her.
"Sorry!, I didn't know. I don't even know what is happening to me. I think I'm turning into a monster ",Ganiyat panicked.
Blessing, who was nursing her arm,laughed and said, "Nice hair style Hot head. It fits you a lot".
She laughed.
Ganiyat's frowned and said, "See who's talking. Blind Bartimus. I saw how you almost blinded the students eyes out there. And you're calling me hot head".
Thinking about what happened outside, Ganiyat then said, looking at Blessing, "I remember seeing Lightening, winds,earthquakes...Do you think the others may have caused all those ones? "
"I don't just think, I know they have something to do with those other elements we saw.
And it has something to do with the Alphas hideout ",Blessing pointed out.
"So what do we do now? ",Ganiyat's asked.
Blessing began to think. Then she suggested that they get the others quickly.
"Question is, where can we find them?
After the chaos that took place, everyone ran helter skelter",Ganiyat's said.
"True.
Then I'll text them.
They'll meet us at the store room. Then we'll know what to do".
Blessing took her phone out and texted the others.
She looked round the passage and said to Ganiyat, "Let's go quickly, before someone sees us".
"I can't go anywhere with this hair ",she complained and pointed her head.
Blessing groaned and said, looking round for something, "Sorry hot head. I'll look for something ".
She found a bucket, took it and placed it on her head.
"WAHLA!!, that should do the trick "
Immediately she said that, the bucket melted.
Blessing tapped her forehead and said, "Oh my creativity!!, what where you thinking?!
Bucket is made of rubber.
Arrgh!!".
She tapped her head again.
"You know what,.. Let's be going. I'm sure we'll see something on the way to use",Blessing suggested.
"okay".
The two of them secretly made their way for the store room.
Due to the outbreak, some students had to stay at the castle's hall and the others at the cafeteria.
Ella and Hannah were at the cafeteria. They were trying to calm the students down.
"Calm down everyone. You don't have to panick",Hannah shouted so that they could hear her.
Ella then said, raising her voice, "Pls listen. At this moment,we all have to stay strong and be each others support. We don't have to be afraid".
"We're doomed!!
I think what happened hundred years ago is about to repeat itself again ",a boy screamed.
Because of what the idiot said, all the students began to panic. They wished they had never entered the castle in the first place.
Ella and Hannah were finding it hard to control the situation.
But the situation was soon controlled by the young man that walked up to them. He said to the students, as they all became calm, "Calm down everyone. We shouldn't be panicking but being cool.
We need to stay strong, if we want to be safe
We all should be each others support.
And don't worry about the chaos that took place. It has been taken care of"
On hearing this, the students became calm and cheered for the young man.
Ella, who had her eyes on the fellow, bumped Hannah on the arm and said, "He used my words. How sweet"
The both of them giggled like rats.
Seeing that everyone was calm, the young man faced the girls and said, "Next time when you're speaking to your students, do it with love and passion. Not with anger and frustration ".
"Look who's talking. You finally remembered that you are also a president in this castle. president Francis ",Hannah scoffed.
Ella blushed and said, "You used my words to calm them down. But when I spoke, they kept on panicking".She began to act innocent.
"What can I say,.. You can't blame me for being way too good for my students. I'm their golden boy",Francis winks at them and walks away.
Blown by this, Ella sighed sweetly and laid her head on Hannah.
"How sweet",she said.
"Don't look at him too much or he'll notice",Hannah said.
"I don't care about what the world says my dearest. I'm after your love and not the world",Ella acted like someone in a play.
Hannah laughed at her and said, "Don't use that Shakespeare tone for me.
Come on let's go and sit over there ".The taking friends went to sit down.
Meanwhile, Blessing and Ganiyat where on their way to the store room.
Blessing's entire body was glowing like a torch light. She couldn't control it.
She had seen ten buckets on the way, and had used them on Ganiyat's.
Out of the ten,Ganiyat burnt eight. Leaving Blessing with two.
Blessing watched the eighth bucket melting down like lava.
She shrieked angrily and showed Ganiyat's the remaining buckets.
"Two buckets left woman. Two buckets ",she said, placing the ninth one on her head.
"Don't blame me Blind Bartimus. It's not my fault that my head turned out to be a dwelling place for fire",she said,frowning at Blessing.
In seconds, the ninth bucket began to melt. And it provoked Blessing.
"This is the ninth bucket that your head is burning. NINTH BUCKET!!",she shouted.
"Well just put the last one on. We're almost at the old store room anyway",Ganiyat said.
"Fine then ".
Blessing Carried the last bucket,and landed it on Ganiyat's head roughly.
BANG!!
Her head sounded.
"Ya...ouch!! "
",Sorry!! Mistake ".Blessing apologized.
She didn't know that she had carried an iron bucket along.
She was pleased.
"Ha!! Let me see how you melt this one now",she laughed.
The both of them reached the store room.
As soon as Blessing opened the door, Adeola and the others shouted.
"Ah!!
The light is too bright"
"Close the door fast!!".
"Oops?!,Sorry",She apologized and Locked the door.
Ganiyat's turned and saw all of them in a bad state.
She bursted into laughter immediately.
Blessing wondered what happened, and turned to look.
"Ganiyat why are you.... Wow!! ",Blessing exclaimed.
Gracious was sparking from head to toe uncontrollably.
Adeola was dirty and dusty.
Ife looked haggard, and her hair was designed with leaves.
Christiana was soaking wet.
Abigail's dress was frozen solid and Treasure... She was standing at the corner, like someone that wants to fall.
Ganiyat kept on laughing at all of them.
"Why are you laughing? ",Treasure asked Ganiyat.
Ganiyat took in a deep breathe ,so as to calm herself down. But in the process, she ended up spitting out fire from her mouth.
All of them laughed at her.
Ganiyat frowned.
"So... What's the plan now? ",Ife asked.Removing the leaves from her hair. Adeola then said, trying to dust her dusty body, "Whatever that zapped us from those crystals yesterday, is affecting us today. We need to do something about it fast".
"According to my understanding, I believe that all our answer would be solved, when we get back into the Alphas hideout ",Gracious suggested.
"Gracious is right. I think we'll find something there. Maybe the crystals sef.
If we can get the crystals, maybe all this freaky and weird powers will go back",Christiana added.
" Agreed. Now let's go.
I can't stand this solid dress",Abigail said, as she struggled towards the shelf.
The others joined her.
They began to look for the artifact that made them enter the wall.
"Which one is the lock? ",Treasure asked while checking.
"Look for a...em.. A golden crystal. Yes a golden crystal ",Blessing said.
Just as they were checking. Abigail looked and saw the golden crystal. Where Blessing had seen it yesterday.
"Found it",she said.
Blessing then said, looking glad"Finally.
Now just... ".
Before she could even finish her statement, Abigail placed her hand on the crystal, and the shelf went into the wall.
Abigail looked at Blessing and smirked.
"I'm too good you know".
Blessing shooked her head and said with a smile, "NA you sabi".
The wall closed behind them.
Everywhere was dark, so Abigail said, "Here's dark, and Ganiyat's roasted head isn't bright enough. I believe you turned the crystal to get the lights here, right Blessing?
Let me try it".
"Hey wait!!
Don't "
Too late, Abigail had turned the crystal. Everywhere became bright, but worst,because of Blessing.
"My eyes!! ",they cried.
"Sorry guys!!.
Don't be upset .
Let me see what I can do",Blessing said.
She tried to see if she could control the power, but she couldn't.
Because of the commotion taking place,Gracious lost control and her lightening bolt began to spark everywhere.
Confused on where to move or go, Treasure also lost control. Allowing the energy around to fling them to the bottom of the step.
The girls screamed and landed at the bottom of the step.
"Why?!
Why?!
Why are we facing all this problem?",Adeola cried and got up.
She placed her hand on the statue in front of them, and it moved.
The girls got up.
Feeling aches all over their body. They walked into the Alphas hideout.
The girls entered the Alphas hideout and stood in the middle, where they all got zapped.
Blessing said,"So here's what we'll do. We first of all look for the crystals. Secondly, we crush the crystals ".
"Then how are do we get rid of the power if we crush the crystals? ",Ife asked.
Blessing thought about it and said, "That's true.
You know what.. Let's find the crystals, then we'll know what to do. Let's go ".
The girls began to search round the hideout.
They searched and searched and searched, but no sign of the crystals. But the girls didn't stop.
Feeling heavy, Abigail decided to lean against one of the statue's leg.
"I'll just stay here. Maybe I might even see the crystals.",she decided.
She began to look round the area where she stood.
She looked further to other areas, until her eyes met with an unexpected figure.
Shocked, Abigail panicked and fell down.
The others heard a thud.They looked and saw her on the floor.
"Abigail what happened? ".
They asked and rushed to meet her.
Christiana helped her up, because she couldn't lift herself up well.
"What happened? ",Treasure asked.
"There's something hiding behind that statue over there".
She pointed out.
The girls looked at the direction where she pointed, and they saw a figure there.
Stunned, the girls stood together.
"Who's there?! ",Ganiyat asked.
The figure was still hiding.
"Show yourself ",Gracious said.
The figure suddenly came out from it's hiding place.
Immediately the figure came into the open, the girls were stunned.
"You?! ",they all said, looking surprised.
It was the old lady.
