The life of a young lady should be as expected all school, party and relationships. But for this one young lady, it was quite the opposite.
Nancy Is a teenage girl in her high school and she has always thought nothing supernatural exists until she figured it did.

I walked down the street as I just ended up going on her errand for my mother right after returning from school. Great I thought. It was a norms for her and it didn't shock her like it did the first time it happened. She was drowning in her thoughts that she didn't quite get to live normally and it didn't help that rain began to fall. I began running all the way home.
Successfully drenched I gave her sorta cold mother what she had asked me to get and angrily went to my room. My bestfriend which I was chatting with was already annoyed and video called.
"Nancy if this continues I'll be forced to talk to your mother."
"Right. And tell her what? 'i need you to stop disturbing my bestie; she also needs her time with me?'"
"Exactly." I just shrugged and laughed at Emily's humor. That wasn't going to happen in a million years. My mum is always so cold to me and I never got an explanation for that. She was distant and quite.... Weird.
Nancy shoved that thought out of her head. She wasn't ready to think about her mum anymore. Sometimes she doubted that she was actually her mum. But other time she loved that she even had her mum.
Turning her attention back to the lady on the other side of the phone which was her best friend Emily she began happily gisting with her. Nancy's birthday was was next week Saturday and since she was turning eighteen, they were making plans to see it was epic.
Since a month before the date, they had did a count down and planned a lot. Nancy was excited and Emily was too. It was meant to perfect but three days before the arrival of Nancy's birthday, she had a dream.
Nancy walked down a dark lane and her body began to shake. She was sweating and as she looked down at her palm blood began to pour out. She was terrified and screamed so loudly just to wake up in her room and found out it was just a nightmare. Strange she thought. A nightmare that felt so real?
Nancy looked at her palms and there was no scar. She was shocked but scolded herself that it was just a silly nightmare. Besides it didn't even make sense. Yet she was still worried cause the nightmare lingered on her head.
Nancy frowned and looked at her surroundings noticing the morning sun that pierced through the curtains. She prepared herself for school and tried her best to focus on her studies that day but it was all in vain. She frequently saw glimps of it even at day. She was worried but still kept it a secret.
A day before Her birthday, Nancy began feeling woozy and the dreams became so real that when she was back to the present she would feel shivers and her palm would hurt like she actually had scars on them. Later that day, she has seen a text from an unknown number and when she read it she got confused.
*Hey. I know you might not understand but meet us at this address...* She looked at the emoji that pointed down an dstared at the address. *.... we'll explain.*
That day I was also feeling like I w folloeed and though I wanted to know why that mysterious person meant but I was still suspicious of it all. It all felt like a joke. A high school kinda prank. Like why right before my birthday of all days? Definitely not falling for it.
Though, that night a picture came in from that person. The picture showed a place where there was a garden and a tall building next to the garden. By the corner was a basket ball course and I knew that this location was familiar. It was my school. Great. Proof that it was all just pranks and that there was a stupid technology those prankers had used to give me nightmares. I'm so going to let Emily deal with them when I find out who it is.
I wanted to text Emily as I was still kinda freaking out when another text came in and the mysterious person ordered I not tell anyone.
Still contemplating on the matter, I slept off. At dawn the next day, was when everything seemed weird. I woke up early without the help of my alarm and I was sweating heavily like I had just run a marathon. Apart from me, the walls in my room was glistening purple and I also remembered a fragment of Emily falling off my window as she was trying to sneak into my room.
Staring at my window I opened it and to my surprise everything played out just the way I had seen it. She was surprised and almost gave me a beating for letting her fall hard cause she thought it was my fault. I didn't blame her I was still shocked if everything.
"Hey. Why's your room covered in purple glitters?" She drawed my attention to that as she looked round. "Did you do this?"
"Nope of course not. " I retorted to say immediately but then regretted it because if I wasn't the one who did it then who did? Spirits?
"Right." Emily just rolled her eyes before changing the topic. "Okay then let's get the birthday girl ready."
Emily turned me into a princess and turned me to smile because it was the most awaited day I had wished for but I just quite didn't tune in. Something in me had changed. Entirely. I could feel it.
The event started out fine with Emily and my MC and when it was the time for me to come out, Emily made sure that I was made special by calling me names. I was busy trying to smile and build that inside squeezing I had just last week but the moment I stepped out I knew something was wrong as everyone stared at me shockingly.
