Episode 6

I took Keith up from the ground and sat him on the bed, he looks at me with his sad eyes, It feels like he was indirectly telling me something he couldn't speak.

"Move up your hands"

I said, he pulls him up and I unlocked the plaster, covering the wounded place.

I helped him down with it, I turned around to leave and without expecting anything to happen, Keith dragged me back to his gaze.

I fell my head on his chest, slapping his wounds.

He grunts in pain, I pulled apologizing for my mistake.

Keith kept quiet and looked at me.

His intense gaze made me uncomfortable, I moved my eyes away but he slap's it back.

"Samantha, can I ask you a question?"

He interrogated.

"Sure, what's going on?" I asked.

Keith pulls me next to him, I sat on the bed with him, while his mom was still unconscious.

"Why are you doing this?"

He asked.

I looked twice at his question, why I'm I doing what, I don't understand.

I asked for a detailed explanation and Keith asked me a tactical question.

He says, why I'm always with him, why do I help him out, and why I'm being so close to him.

Keith's questions made no sense, why shouldn't I be with him, why can't I.

Minus the fact I love him, I am his sister's best friend.

I laughed at his comment, in disguise hid the truth about my feelings.

Keith can't find out how I feel about him, no matter what.

I pulled up and grabbed the first aid kit, I walked to the door, strutting close to it.

Keith gets up behind, pulls my hands back, and slammed me to the wall.

"You're keeping something from me,"

He leans close, "please tell me, Samantha, I need to know, why are you always with me?".

He added.

I looked as he gazed into my eyes.

Keith's eyes were almost tearing up and just when I was about to tell, Mrs. Mathilda woke up.

"Son"

She calls trying to get up from bed.

Keith pulls away from me and rushed to her, he gets up and sits her down gently.

I came after placing the first aid kit on the ground.

"Ma'am, are you okay?"

I asked.

"Yes, but I don't think we're, someone wants to kill us," 

She exposed a shocking truth.

Keith takes her eyes off me.

He placed her hands on his and assured her nothing of the sort will happen.

I know Keith is trying to keep his mom a little calm, but that doesn't hide the fact, someone unknown is out there to kill.

Firstly it was Kailey, and now Keith's father is gone, the only ones remaining are, Mrs. Mathilda and Keith.

I don't know but I am certain that someone is out there to kill, steal and destroy.

Keith managed to get her to sleep, the moment she did, we both rode out of her room.

The entire was still covered in blood, as Keith walks me to my cab waiting for me outside.

I got to my room after a few hours. 

The entire place was a blackout when I came in 

There was no light at the girl's hostel and so I picked up my phone, shining my way to my dorm.

I pulled out my keys and just when I tried to go in, someone grabbed me by my neck and pushed me inside...

I got scared, I turned in haste, but didn't find anything, I looked a little further, there was a note written down on my table.

"You're next,"

It says, underneath was a photo I snapped a year ago with Keith and his family, we want on a retreat and no matter where they head to, I'll always accompany them.

I had lost the photo and now, a strange person comes into my room and sends me such a disorganizing message.

Something isn't right.

Why would they kill me, I haven't done anything.

I picked up my phone again and called Keith, he picks up and I explained what had just happened.

Keith becomes unsteady, he asked I bring the letter and photo to the lecture hall tomorrow.

I accepted and disconnected the call.

The lights at the girl's hostel immediately came on.

I placed my phone down walked into the bathroom to change into my nightwear.

I did and on getting out, a paper plan flew inside my room.

"If I were you, I'll run and stay far away from the City".

It reads another message.

I dropped the message with the other one sent to me, I walked to the window and slammed it shut, I made sure there was no slight chance of anything getting in without my permission.

The following morning, I rushed out to meet up with Keith, he was just entering the school premises when I blocked him.

"Samantha, you're acting strange?"

He tells.

I grabbed his hand and dragged him into an abandoned classroom, he rests his back on a wooden table as I brought out the message and photo attached to it.

Keith reads it and pulled up his eyes that meet me.

"Dear, it'd be okay to feel paranoid, however, nothing happened".

He explained, placing the message inside his back pocket.

We both walked away.

The entire day passed and I couldn't get over the idea, someone wants to kill me.

Like what in the odds, this isn't a sick joke.

I walked to my dorm and while going, I turned around in a haste, sensing someone was following me.

I looked at searched but nothing.

I continued walking, just then, a hand grabbed my wrist and jammed me to the wall.

I closed my eyes and screamed.

"Why are you shouting?"

Keith's voice immediately interrupted me.

I unlocked my eyes and saw he was standing before me.

"Oh my gosh! I thought something was wrong,"

I replied.

He placed my head on his chest and slowly caressed my hair.

Everything will be okay Samantha" he tells, "but first you've got to come with me, I need to keep you save," 

He added, sounding unsettled.
