Chapter one: Franchise
I was in my room when my mum came in and she told me that is should go and check in on the laundry. I was really angry because if I had friends, I wouldn't have been doing all these house chores. "Mum, when I'm I going to get some new friends ?" I demanded. "Sophie, we just moved here. it's really hard for us to groom into the new neighborhood. even the neighbors are avoiding us. So, you just have e to be patient" she advised me. Ever sincoe I came to this town, things have been really different for me. Despite the fact that my mum asked me to do some laundry, I went to my room and I began to cry. "Sophie, why are you crying ?" She asked. I didn't even respond to her, I was so angry. my mum kept reminding me that I'm just 16 years and I need to blend into the neighborhood before I could make some friends. "if I don't make friends of.my own age now, if I get to school, how will I cope with my academics, when I don't have friends" I said then I ran to my parents room and I continued to cry until my mum had met my needs. She came to the door, requesting that I should open the door. I didn't even respond to her excuses.
It had been three hours that I've been on that room and my mum came to me and she told me what I finally wanted to hear. She told me that she had submitted my application form to a school on this town. I was so happy and excited. I felt like my head was on the roof.it was already bed time, I went to bed and I saw a gleaming light right in my closet. I wanted to have a look at it, but my mum came into my room and she was wondering why I was awake. I wanted to check it out but due to my mum's intervention, I wasn't able to see what it was. "You have to get to sleep, I finally found a way for you to attend high school, even though we just moved In" she said. I was happier than before because I had no idea that I had to resume tomorrow. I was still conscious about that red light that was gleaming. I decided that I will check it if I get back from school tomorrow.
The next day, I woke up lively and happy. I quickly got up from bed and started to prepare for my first day in school. I went to the same closet to see if the beam was still there. to my surprise, It wasn't there. I was wondering if I was having drop dead hallucinations about it. my mum came into the room and she told me to stop all these shenanigans, that I was going to late for school. "You had better get ready for school, young lady" she demanded. "I'll be downstairs in a minute" I shouted. I went to meet her downstairs while her face was insinuating a sinister smile. I was wondering, what could she be thinking of ?" . She insisted that she'll drop me off at school and who am I to decline ?. We got to the school gate and she had a little pointers for me. "Sophie, we are starting a new life, in a new town. you have to be on your best behavior during your stay in this school. you front want to know how much your dad and I spent before we could get you into this school. so all I want you to do is have fun. Sophie. I want the best for you, but you have to have a mindset of your own. So please, try not to be of any trouble and don't go to places your teachers didn't instruct you to go" she advised me. "for the love of God mother, in sixteen, I think I know how to avoid myself from dangerous adventures. I went into the school, drastically astonishing them with my looks. I walked into.my class while the teacher was teaching and the atmosphere was just awkward. everyone was looking bored due to the teacher's mode of teaching. I noticed that the class was full, so, I wasn't able to sit. A girl offered that we should sir together. Th class was over and I was going towards my locker. I opened my locker and I heard someone saying "You have to be wise in the school, you have to stand your ground". I saw the girl that offered me a seat in class, with some of her friends. they seemed to be talking about me. "she's so weak and obnoxious, we have to help her". "what can we do ? it's not that we can actually help her. I went to meet them to ask if they could be my friend. "hi, I was the girl that sat down close to you during biology class. can we hang out" I asked. "of course we can, but let me introduce you to some if my friends. this is Dustin, Maddie, Blake and of course me, Susie" she mentioned. "hey, you guys wanna hang out sometime ?" I asked. "sure" they all responded. "By the way, my name is Sophie"I added. and suddenly, Blake held my hand and said "nice to meet you to". he looked at me like a was an Angel. I had no other option than to smile back. We both went to the cafeteria to have quick chat. "So, when did you move in" he asked anxiously. "I just moved in yesterday, but I resumed the school today" I answered then I giggled. it actually felt like the best day of my life because I actually met someone that understands me. Susie, Dustin and Maddie came to us and they assumed like it was our first date. "wow, what a date!" Susie said. We both chuckled. Dustin suddenly suggested that after school, we should all go to his house. "Sophie, are you down for it ?" He asked me. I was anxious because I wasn't sure my mum was going to let me go out. despite the fact that we just moved in yesterday. "sure, I'm be there!" I blurted. I was so angry at myself, because I know the kind of mother I have, she's so insecure about me. I went back home after school. my mum gave me a big hug and she was asking series of questions that I wasn't even able to tell her about my day. I didn't even bother asking her about me going to Dustin's house, so there was only one thing I could do; i had to sneak out of the house. it won't be easy, but I just have to. I took my phone and I realized that Susie gave me her number. I quickly called her, but to no avail, she didn't pick up her calls. I was waiting for her to call me back but unfortunately, she didn't. I was busy thinking of how Blake was oppressing me with his handsomeness. However, Susie's call same in and I picked up. "Susie, I can't talk right now. all I have to say is that I can't come to the sleepover at Dustin's house tonight" I said. She asked "why". I tried to explain to her that I won't be able to come because my mum is so insecure about it. She broke the silence by telling me that Blake is going to be there. my heart jumped out of my body immediately. "Susie, may I ask for a favour ?" I'll send you house address, you will come under my room window and take me to the Dustin's house" I demanded. "there's only one explanation for this......you obviously have feelings for Blake" she accused me. "What are you saying ? Will you get you get over here or not ?" I asked. "fine, I'll be there in ten, depends in how fast you text me the address" she said and I hung up the call. I quickly went to my parents room and checked if my mom was asleep, and fortunately for me, she was. I went to my closet to change my clothes. when I was taking the clothes, I saw the red light I saw two days ago. I was so anxious to get close to it, but I had to find out what it was. it got shinier if I get close to it. "Sophie" I heard my mum screaming my name. I quickly rushed to my room and got into bed, so she will not suspect anything. "where were you ?" She asked. "I went to the bathroom" I responded. I had to lie to cover up. "try and get some sleep, would you ?". "yes, I.Will" I said. She went back to her room and I immediately switched off the lights and ran back to the closet. the light was still there. I went close to it and the door was shut. I was raging in fear. I heard a voice coming from the boxes which the light was behind. the voice kept calling my name constantly. "I am Ripley, you're worst nightmare. I am a disciple of the devil, Lucifer. You're mum and I were best of friends back in high school. I did everything for her, until she betrayed. We were working on an inter-dimensional transporter. until the CIA sanctioned the transporter. they threatened that if we don't give it to them, we are going to be yesterday's news. I vowed that I wouldn't give up the transporter because I spent time designing it. Your mum, Nancy, opened a portal to the devil's world and we promised ourselves that we will jump into the portal together, but she pushed me into the portal and ran away. ever since then I've always been feeling hatred for her. When I got into the world, Santanos, my brother welcomed me. by then, I was bombarded with radiation waves and I now possess a power;a power that's capable of me getting revenge on your family" he narrated. I was so scared. I never thought that I could actually be haunted by a demon. I tried not to make any unusual sound due to my mum's insecure nature. I quickly ran away from him, but I felt something in my leg, like a snake. it grabbed me and hung me to the wall, intersecting my hands and feet. And then I saw someone coming towards my direction. he looked like he was covered in bundles of snake-like threads. he held me and all he could say was, "tick tock". Then he dropped me. I felt my nose and all I could see was blood. I quickly jumped outside of my rooms window, where I saw Susie.
