Ezekiel begins to relate the whole sickening incident to Saif, who was listening attentively."This is definitely a trap..some kind of a set-up." noun Saif feeling, so concerned and worried about his friend's plight. "Eze, there's no point crying over a split milk. Something must be done to clear this whole mess." continues Saif. "How about Qareem, did you manage to contact him?" asked Saif."I've tried several times...but he never respond. Infact he off his line." replied Ezekiel, feeling so remorseful and regret.
"Let's check his room, then...who knows he might be back too." said Saif, as he stood and headed towards the door and opens it. "Oh no!" utters Saif softly, as he could sense trouble is brewing up, when there heading towards their dormitory room, is their discipline master and a cop. "Eze....you wouldn't like this." cried Saif and true enough those two gentlemen were looking for Ezekiel's neck.
It was like been in a nightmare....been trap in a hollow space that has no beginning and no end, where the feet just keeps on running, in searching for the way out. Ezekiel was shove on a seat, in his discipline master's office....and the worst scenario....his mum, Riley and a middle age couple were there too...all eyes were staring and fixed at his soul. "Look, I did not do anything!" cried Ezekiel in anger."I have not ask any question...so don't try to sound so defensive about yourself." replied Zain, the head master. Ezekiel sank back on his seat, as he shakes his head in disbelief.
"You took advantage of our daughter...you son of a bitch!" yell that woman, and Ezekiel soon figures out, that couple must have been the girl's parent.
"Look lady, I swear...I did not know and in fact I can't even recall, how I end up at your home..in the first place." utters Ezekiel in dismay.
"Just shut your mouth Ezekiel Bukhari." snapped Eva his mum." What sin have I done, to bore a son like you?" cried his mum, in full fit of rage. Ezekiel looks at his mum in disbelief..even his mum was not here to defend him...but to penalize him instead.
"You should just bury me then mum....right after I came out from your womb!" replied Ezekiel scornfully.
"How dare you?" roar Eva, as she stood up from her seat and came straight towards Ezekiel...with a hard slap across his face.
"That's enough!" jumps Riley, as he pulls her away from Ezekiel who was looking so upset.
"We are going to press charges against your son...for touching our daughter, dishonoring her dignity." said the father of the so call victim.
"Dignity?" asked Riley sounded sarcastic. "What would an honorable daughter like yours, been in a nightclub that serve booze and sabutex in the first place?" continues Riley, with his fists by his side. Ezekiel looks up towards Riley....with surprised....Riley is by his side, defending him.
"You!" rants the man but he was unable to finish his words.
"This is a pending case....we still awaiting for the latest DNA report on your daughter. To really confirm, that this accused had in fact, touch her before we can press charges against him. However, in the meant time, the accuse will be put under our custody for couple of days." said the inspector, as he brings out his cuff and snapped them on Ezekiel's wrist.
"Mum, you have got to belief me....I swear...I never touch her....I'm innocent mum. This is just a set up..a trap..Mum please you must belief me..I'm you son !!!" cried Ezekiel, as he was dragged out from the office and force down towards the stairways. Eva sulk and just simply refused to say and even to look at her son anymore. Riley could not take this whole scene any longer, as he follows ahead towards the cops and Ezekiel along the stairways.
"Eze...I belief. I will get you out of this mess. I promised. I love you Eze....belief me!" cried Riley before, Ezekiel was shove inside the police car, with tears of heartache streaming from his eyes.
"Eze!" whispered Riley.....he too begins to wept sadly.
"So all those rumors is true...you are moving away, right after you graduated from high school ?" Yasmeen was stunned cause it was Bashir that had approached her.
"Yes. It's true." replies Yasmeen.
"I'm so sorry. This seems to be all my fault. First it's Ezekiel..and now you." utters Bashir penitently, with circles of guilt running in his soul.
"We have both long forgotten about it." said Yasmeen. "Anyway Ezekiel left, is due to my own stupid mistakes. I just can't forgive myself for what I have done." utters Yasmeen as she had her sight towards the dark wooden floor.
"But, if it wasn't me who had actually disclose almost about everything...." exclaimed Bashir.
"That's enough Bashir.....please!" noun Yasmeen sadly.
"Please forgive me." said Bashir as he unzipped his bag pack and brings out a very exquisite looking journal....which is pure milky white in color..with classic looking silver ribbon that bundle around it. "I have got something for you..that I thought you might like it." utters Bashir, as he hands her that beautiful and unique journal into her palms.
"Bashir, I do not deserved this." said Yasmeen, as tears begins to well up in her eyes.
"No, Yasmeen....you deserved more than this." express Bashir. "I.....I love you." Yasmeen was stunned and becomes dazed...not knowing how to response to that statement....as she watches, Bashir slowly walks away from her.

But she felt helpless.....been under her mother's reign....to rebel will cost her dearly...her soul. The number of hidden rebels has been caught and kept imprisoned awaiting to be sent to the gallows to be beheaded....or change to some dimwit looking creatures and stones.

"I belief, I am the pure breed...unlike all of you. You were all mortal once, out of my mother's piety, she had bought all of you from this slave traders and took all of you in to become like one of us. Your powers were not actually come straight from your souls...but was given and trained instead. How pathetic that is." replied Sephira with a smirk look on her face. "So does not that makes all of you mere mortals too?" continue Sephira scornfully.
"You are calling your own death oh! daughter of Aden!!!" yelled Zorah, as she flew straight towards Sephira and barged into her straight towards the hard rocky valley, which was few feet away from them. Sephira was almost out of breath....but soon her fingers and palms begins igniting fire. Without second thoughts, she ring her fire up palm, towards Zorah's face and set her sight ablaze. Zorah was screaming in agony and pain as she drops on the ground and keep on rolling from side to side in horror.
"You are a traitor!!!" taunt Leia....another one of her so call sisters....as she transform herself into a hideous but ferocious looking beast and ran towards Sephira with her mighty dagger sharp claws coming straight towards Sephira's bare arm ....piercing slightly into it.

"He's not dead....!!!!" cried one of her so call sisters, now had becomes her nemesis...as she recognized Luth. "Sephira had lied to us...she is indeed a traitor...who knows, this might be a trap which she had set upon us."
Sephira begins to feel intimidated about this whole chaotic situation.....she falls into a deep dilemma...should she be fighting along with Luth....and go against her sisters...or should she just joins her antagonist sisters, and leave all her enmity with them behind. Tears of anger and heartfelt victim of betrayal begins to form in her eyes......and without another second count....Sephira fled among the thick woodlands as she decides to leave it all behind her.
"How could they do this to me? What wronged have I done towards them? Father why did you have to leave me to face up with all this? Why am I born with this ridiculous powers which can only destroys but not heal ?" screamed the battered inner voice of Sephira, as she jumped through puddles and dash through those thick branches and leaves which were entwined among the woods. From the distant, she heard the terrifying screams of her sisters...it seems, Luth and his comrades has discover their weaknesses.....by slaying and arrowing them with the silver blade of Corlus....a secret which was conceal for several hundred years...and to obtain just a speak of that magnificent dust of Corlus......it sure takes a lot of courage and faith in doing it.....as it was simply not easy.

Yasmeen was intensely engross with her reading until she can't hear her mum was calling for her from the kitchen. Swiftly, she place the bookmark back on the last page of her reading.....as she jumps off from her bed and headed towards the door. "Yes mum...please forgive me.....I was reading." utters Yasmeen with a grin.
Sharinah shakes her head with her right hand on her hip, "Your phone has been vibrating several times....since just now. I belief you would not want to miss any important calls aren't you ?" asked Sharinah.
Yasmeen grab her phone thanking her mum and then she rushed back towards her room....as she held on to her cell phone strongly in her palms....with her thoughts running wild hoping and praying that it was Ezekiel. Checking on all the missing calls...yes, her prayers has finally been answered. Yasmeen struggles, to hold on to her tears that are beginning to form in her doe eyes....but it seems hard to keep it....and it seems harder to let it fall.
"Hello.....Eze !" called Yasmeen as she heard her call was answered.
"Hie...Yasmeen. It's me Oasis." utters Ezekiel in a small meek voice.
Yasmeen soon could figure out that voice, is troubled.....wiping her tears off from her face...she brace her courage to continue with this precious conversation with Ezekiel. "Hie Oasis...how are you Sweetie ?'" asked Yasmeen, biting her lower lips as suddenly she begins to tremble....she felt nervous. A weird unbearable dump but blissful moment of unspeakable sentiment.
"Im doing okay...but not him." replied 'Oasis'.
Yasmeen sick notion was right all along...there's trouble. "What happened to him Oasis...care to share it with me ?" utters Yasmeen...her voice was kind of shaky.
"He's an idiot, a loser and a loner !" replied 'Oasis'.
"Is that how he felt about himself right now?" asked Yasmeen shaking her head in dismay. There was a remote silent, for 'Oasis' was not answering to her question.
"Yup...he's in trouble." murmurs Yasmeen towards herself. They remain silent for almost ten minutes....making Yasmeen felt even more edgy. "You were missing....don't know where the hell you have been...so now you are in deep mess...you came back knocking on my walls!!! How typical ?" snapped Yasmeen, breaking the silent which seems to be butchering her soul.
"If that's how you are feeling about me right now...so just be it ." cried Ezekiel as he was about to hang up.
"Eze....let's be even okay...I've been sending messages after messages on your phone, your emails but did you ever respond? No...not at all...and I have sent friendship request on your face book account, but I felt like I'm hanging in the mid air...!!! Did you ever care or felt at least show some concern about our friendship?" rattles Yasmeen, with tears of heartbreak inside her soul. She has been keeping this feeling far too long inside her heart....!!!
"Please forgive me Yasmeen. I didn't meant to hurt you like this...!" trails Ezekiel feeling frail and remorseful...for not keeping in touch with Yasmeen as he had promised her before. "I'm just nor worthy anymore to be call a friend." cried Ezekiel, as he begins to wept.
"Eze....no matter what ever happens...it will never change. You can't be punishing yourself like this...I meant..it was not only yourself but on my part too. I love you Eze....as a friend." white lies thought Yasmeen to herself.
"I don't know Yasmeen....if you will be able to had your sight on me again. I shall accept your friendship request on face book and post some of my recent pics....However Yasmeen, there's more...I will inbox to you what exactly happens to me just recently." replied Ezekiel sadly.
Yasmeen hang up....with too many unspeakable noun and questions in her mind. It seems Ezekiel has change so much...from that short conversation which they had. Turning on her mini notebook and yes, finally her request has been accepted. Nil status return on his wall post...n his profile picture was a picture of a fallen angel. Next she click on his photo albums.....and she almost freak out with some of his pictures....he has definitely change so much...in the way he had dress himself up...with mini t-shirt n those tight jeans...was it a lip-gloss and smoky eye-shadow around his beautiful eye lids? Ezekiel was not like how she had known him before. And some of his friends which he had mixed with..is so abnormal...making her feel so angry ...as her heart was blaming those losers, for whatever had become of her best friend. Yasmeen fingers were shaky when she open up her inbox, as Ezekiel had sent her a message. She hang her head low....with tears in her eyes....after she had finally finish reading it.
Yasmeen gently, push the lace curtain away from her room window..as she peers outside the darkness of the park...which was situated just few meters away from her home. Those were the times when she and Ezekiel had mostly spend together right after school. "Would I will be able to flip back towards the past...would I have the courage to bring back Ezekiel to his sense.....could I break the spell ? " utters Yasmeen sorrowfully.
