Kayla got overwhelmed by confusion, she shut the door and went back to the reception to have her seat. She made a decision to put a call through Vivian to confirm if what her mom told her about Vivian been with her was all true. Vivian answered the phone and said "Hey, Kayla are you okay?".
Kayla hung up the call immediately as she heard her voice, she almost fell on the floor due to the shock but Justin grabbed her by her hands and asked "What's wrong, Kayla?".
"Can you believe that Vivian picked up the call!" She said, with utmost disbelief in the possibility of her being alive.
"That's impossible. She is...right here...dead" Justin stuttered.
"I called her number and she is the one who picked up the call. I had to hang up the call because I was surprised that I just heard her voice and her body is right here... lifeless" Kayla said.
"Can you call her again maybe you heard wrong or maybe we could meet up with her?" Justin asked, he was curious.
Kayla picked up her phone and put a call through to her again, Vivian picked the call "Why did you hang up the call, was about asking where you were and how you survived, I was worried about you. I looked for you everywhere but couldn't find you and tried reaching you through calls but wasn't going through".
She ignored all she said but instead she asked "Where are you, Vivian?".
"I'm with my mom at the hospital. Megan couldn't make it, she is dead" She said, sobbing.
"But how?" Kayla asked.
"She was at the party as well. I met her outside the hall with her boyfriend when I left you and your guy alone, I was bored so I took a walk to the beach, felt a bit strange and immediately there for the balcony to get fresh air. Not long after, I heard sounds coming from the forest and a big cat was standing right there and I followed it, then I saw faceless people holden a stick with fire...I rushed out to warn everyone about what was in there but got dragged back inside the forest, my eyes was blurry. Don't know how but I survived, got out and went to warn everyone but nobody heard me and the ones close to me that heard what I said made fun of me. In a twinkle of an eye, everything went blank, I heard people scream and suddenly I found myself outside holding Megan in my arms. I didn't know what happened but everywhere was bloody and I needed to drive off in her boyfriend's car quickly to save her but unfortunately for me, she died after getting attended to in the hospital" Vivian explained with tears flowing down from her eyes down to her cheek.
"Oh my goodness. I didn't know, I was looking everywhere for you. Later, I found you on the floor injured, I rushed you down to the hospital and an hour later, you were confirmed dead and I'm still in shock right now as I am able to communicate with you despite seeing you dead here" Kayla said. She hung up the call without waiting for her response.
Still in disbelief, she got restless and she called Vivian's mom to know the hospital they were in and she told them. She picked up her belongings and told Justin to get the car ready to go, they both zoomed off in Justin's car. On getting there, they saw Vivian sitting on the chair with her head down crying, Kayla was surprised, squeezed her face in confusion, looked at Justin and said to him "But she was still right there at the hospital we left now, right?". That was aquestion that needed no answer.
Justin couldn't believe what he was seeing nor what was happening. Kayla got the shock of her life and was more curious on how it happened, so also was Justin.
Vivian raised her head up and saw Justin and Kayla right in front of her, she stood up, heaved a sigh of relief and walked close to give Kayla a tight hug and couldn't let go as she cried profusely. Kayla felt reluctant about giving her hugs but she had to comfort her; I mean who else will if she doesn't!
After the hug, Vivian sniffled and wiped off her tears with her hands, she said "Thanks for coming, i can't believe I lost Megan".
Kayla sniffled and almost sobbing she asked "But how come you are here?"
Vivian held Kayla's hand to a seat, she then explained again "My sister was at the party with her boyfriend, she introduced her boyfriend to me and we exchanged pleasantries, I left them and went to the balcony close to the forest, I was feeding my eyes until when I saw a big cat looking stranded, I followed the cat and saw crowds of people in the woods, I wanted to run out to warn you and others but I fell and got dragged back, and that was the last thing I remembered happening in there. Then I saw myself at the party and I tried warning people about was in the woods, I looked for you but you were not found and no one could hear me because the music was loud, then boom everything went dark and I found myself outside, I saw Megan on the floor bleeding, the lights came back on, thank God for her boyfriend's car I was able to rush her to the hospital, but unfortunately she couldn't even give life another cance when we got to the hospital".
"Oh okay but were you still at the party when all the bloody sh*t happened?" Kayla questioned.
"Yes but i left immediately when i saw my sister wrapped in my arms as the light went back on, I looked back inside and saw blood all over but all I cared about was my sister's survival. I really do not remember some things though" Vivian answered.
"After your sister died, you called your mom or you went to the cops?" Kayla asked.
Vivian explained further "I went to the cops afterward and it was on my way I called my mom to come down to the hospital, when I left the station, I came back straight here".
"But I am confused, I saw you injured at the party and on reaching the hospital, an hour later the doctor confirmed you were dead" Justin responded.
She scoffed and said "You guys are here looking at me right in front of you, talking to you guys and y'all still saying I'm dead, how is that even possible!". She stood up "I think you guys are high on something from the party" She finished.
"Your body is currently at the hospital lying there...dead" Kayla emphasized on the dead part and continued "Should we take you to the hospital to see for yourself since it seems we are the ones lying?" She asked.
"I'm very serious and I am very much in disbelief more than you are now" Justin said.
Vivian agreed to go to the hospital they claimed her body was and got into the car with them. On getting to the hospital, they rushed down to the room Vivian's body was laid and Kayla opened the door.
Kayla and Justin were shocked when they met the room empty.
"But you were...here. I mean you were dead on that bed" Kayla said as she pointed a finger to where she was laid, she just got the shock of her life; her jaw dropped and couldn't close it back up for some seconds, Vivian helped her to keep her mouth closed with her hands. She was speechless and so was Justin who couldn't believe what was going on right now.
"You two must be really hallucinating. I'm here and alive I ain't dead, you both need to wake the f*ck up from your illusions" She yelled at them as she took her leave in anger. On her way almost out of the hospital, she paused and turned back "Or wait, Kayla did you wish that I was dead?" She questioned her.
"Why would I ever wish you that, I know what the Doctor said and I know what I saw, I'm neither hallucinating nor in my own illusions" Kayla replied, breathing shakily.
"Maybe we should call the Doctor so that you can actually believe us" Justin suggested, to stop unnecessary arguments.
"Okay, go and call him" Vivian said confidently.
Kayla went straight to call the Doctor but he wasn't on seat, she asked about the Nurses that attended to her in the emergency ward with the doctor, but the receptionist gave her a shocking news "They're all dead and we just found out few minutes ago".
