We're in a position where we don't know what's next, we have just lost track and pattern only because of Death's appearance in the center of the school. What could that had been?. Despite the fear of moving closer to her body, we got there only to realize she was dead, how come?, Does that mean that we succeeded in defeating her?, Only tonight will tell, but for now we've got to stay on a low and watch how it will all turn out.
Me and my friends were at my home, they came over immediately after they got back to their houses, they're here to find out whether we just won the war or was that all a coincidence. Despite knowing that I don't know the answer, they still show up because they believed that I know everything.
“ I've a feeling that this incident happened because of that action you took, smashing that sweet might've broken her, you know.... Killing her just the way she has been doing to us....”
Michael said, a smile backing up his words because he was feeling relieved but trying to hide them because he also wasn't sure of what might've been the situation.
“ I believe that sweet has got something to do with Death's appearance in the school, that's the only relation she had with us, you understand she calls us her friends, there's only one reason for that, she gave us gifts and we celebrated her birthday with her. Non friends can possibly celebrate your birthday with you, but giving gifts has something to do with close bonds, the fact she offered us gifts in which we all accepted, it shows she's really our friend. But now that I have smashed that bond relating us with her, she's possibly lost power over us.....”
I said, my brain researching itself to detect whether I was actually correct in my guessing. “ So does that mean we're really free?....” Adam asked excited. 
“ That I don't know.”
He relaxed again, like I just killed his high spirit. It seems like they just wanted me to admit to the situation, to the fact that Death was no more, they already believe it but they just wanted me to admit and I can't admit to something I wasn't sure of, I'll let tonight make the decision for itself.
They wasn't actually displeased when they left, they were still with that morale that they're sure of the reality and even choosed to make it seem like a debate, saying that I should watch out and see for myself. It's not that I don't believe them, but it still seems off and odd.
What if we show up there again?, With everyone relaxed and the rearrangement of the seating position, we now don't know who's gonna be next and whether we sure have defeated Death. My parents already knew what happened, the News was everywhere, about a dead girl found in the closed down school compound.
Since they knew I was there today, they asked questions, they wanted to Know the details, they were happy to hear the outcome of what I had done when I told them it all happened after I smashed the sweet, my Dad was making mouth about the Rev father's prophecy, saying that he also believes what the Rev had said, but was still scared about my safety though.
They might think that everything has been sorted out and finished smoothly with me still safe, but for me, I am still scared, I'm still afraid of the night, though I wasn't showing any sign of it, I am just scared. What if this were all nothing?, What if our hopes got crushed?, What if this was a trap to make us lose our guards, despite having none against her, if we ever got summoned tonight, I'm definitely the one who's gonna be picked, I'll be the victim.
She warned me with a slap to the face after I had suggested the seatings should be reorganized, now I have ended up being praised as the one who made all this possible just by smashing that sweet to pieces, now I am afraid if I am ever going to be safe from this, I'm already her sole target and she definitely won't go away just like that without a fight.
Waking up, my eyes were staring right at the ceiling, my room ceiling, I got up from bed, my body really relaxed and felt comfortable like I haven't had this in a long time, I got up from my bed, still wondering whether all this were true or I'm just dreaming. I never saw myself there last night, and right now I'm awake and healthy.
My phone started ringing, I checked the caller and it happens to be an unknown number. 
It was like that all morning, right from when I woke up till the moment I was done with breakfast, calls were still coming in from unknown numbers, thanking me for all I have done for their children, my classmate's parents phoning me with a congratulation call, some even made me offers to send me money and gifts, others offering to take care of my school training, the rich ones promising to offer me a role at their company when I am done with my school, so many good offers.
Right now I'm really happy for the acknowledgement, but I'm still scared and worried, others might be free, but I have an unsettled issue with the one I've defeated. My classmates were also calling, thanking me for making that decision when all of them believed that it was dumb, some of them visited my home with their parents, bringing gifts with them, offering to also help my family to elevate. This all sounds untrue, God's hand is at work, turning our lives overnight, not that we were poor, my family were middle class, but now we're having offers from every corner.
I headed into my room to drop most of the gifts, that's when I heard a whisper. “ Check mate.”
