The Jinns Amongst Us

Chapter 80

"The Prince offered to protect and preserve the lives of every Naga living within the city, and in return, he wanted to marry the Queen herself to become the king of Nagas, as well as of Ceylan." said Dr Clarissa.

"Typical." said one of the student to which Dr Clarissa looks. "Shshh.. now, as I was saying, while the prince wanted to rule over entire Ceylan by marrying the Queen, the jinn inside him didn't, he refused to obey what the prince was asking of the naga people, and in return, the Jinn was casted out, binded to a lamp from which he was never able to recover, until centuries later.

But that was a different story for a another time, let us move back to Ceylan, once the offer was made and the Jinn who rebelled was casted out, The Queen had no choice, but to comply for the sake of her people, and so.. she married him, made him king of Ceylan which sparkled a new race of people that one day flourished to be the society it is now, the end." said Dr Clarissa.

"The end? what happened to the Nagas, I know it's a story, but every story needs a good old ending right?" asked one of the students.

"Of course, you're right, as for the Nagas, living under a legal Queen for years did make their lives quite remarkable, that is, until the foreigners arrived, in which they were forced to go into hiding from the sights of anyone, and never to be seen by anyone, ever again." said Dr Clarissa.

"Hey! that's not a good ending." said one of the student to which Dr Clarissa chuckles. "How did you expect the story to end? the Naga flourished and lived side by side? if they did, this would be in a fictional novel, not your history books." said Dr Clarissa to which everyone chuckles.

"Alright now, calm down, first of all, I would like to say thank you, for everyone who joined here, it has been a honour, as a former student of Ayntac Educational Centre to be here again, to inspire many of the students with some really boring stories." said Dr Clarissa to which the people laugh as she then continues onward bidding her farewell speech as the rest of the events proceed.

Meanwhile, in Afreen's house as her Cousins and her Aunt are seated within her Couch with her while she is explaining a reasonable explanation for her sudden departure. "So, you're telling me, the person that was here, the mental patient, she wasn't you? and you've summoned this person through a mirror to act like you, so you can.. go.. on this trip?" asked Nailah's Aunt.

"Yes, I know it's sounds a bit stupid..." said Afreen before getting interrupted by Nashat. "It sounds nothing but stupid, you're expecting me to believe your badly written stories?" asked Nashat. "Nashat! mind your tongue." said Nailah. "Guys, I don't know how to explain this to you all, I mean.. from the day I got here, it's been nothing but weird, I got possessed, I have some weird headaches, and mostly I'm bored out of my mind." said Afreen.

"Your possession was a believed rumour to be true, until I saw it for my own eyes." said Nailah's aunt. "Exactly, you've seen it, and then you believed it, I'm asking you to do the same." said Afreen. "Well.. we need some kind of proof then, won't we?" asked Nailah.

"Alright, fine, I'll (looks towards the mirror reflection) there! that's it, hold on." said Afreen as she goes onto pick the mirror from the showcase and carefully takes it out to which she comes back, seated within the couch she sat earlier with the mirror.

"Now watch, closely alright?" asked Afreen as she prepares herself, then slowly tries onto to catch the reflection of herself to which this time, she only touches the surface instead of inside.

"Damnit, okay, one more try." said Afreen who continues onward to try and catch her own hand through the mirror to which she fails constantly while Nashat departs away in frustration and Nailah looks towards her mother with a frightened look.

"Afreen.." said Nailah's mother. "Wait, just a minute.." said Afreen. "Afreen.. please.." said Nailah's mother. "Just wait damnit, I.. I just need more time." said Afreen who tries in constantly while Nailah sits beside Afreen, attempting to stop her.

"Afreen, please, just.. stop." said Nailah to which Afreen goes on for a while, then ultimately stops as she leans into Nailah's shoulder. "I don't understand.. I don't.. it worked and it.." cried Afreen before getting interrupted by Nailah.

"Sshhh... it's alright, rest, okay? just rest.." said Nailah while comforting Afreen when suddenly a hand from the mirror slowly reflects back into place, having reflected in the wrong position which is noticed by Nailah's mother who remains speechless.

"Speaking of, where is Ali? he hasn't been here since morning, has he?" asked Nailah to which her mother remains distracted by what she just saw. "Mother." said Nailah. "Yah, sorry, what?" asked Nailah's mother.

"Ali? where did he go?" asked Nailah. "He said he'd going to visit his friend or someone, I don't know, he seemed quite insistent, so I talked with his parents, and with their approval I've let him go." said Nailah's mother.

"Oh, then make a call for him, it's getting late, he should have been back by now." said Nailah.

Meanwhile, as the show ends with people coming out one by one, Khayun awaits with Athina to talk with Dr Clarissa as she's busy talking with the staff one by one while they remain.

Seeing this, Khayun's friends, Shumair along with Cr7 and Afthab proceed to approach him to inquire on when did he exactly arrive. "Hello there, hi." said Afthab to which Khayun turns. "Oh, hi, guys.. what's up?" asked Khayun. "What's up? dude, we thought you didn't come today, where the hell were you?" asked Shumair.

"I was busy, I mean, I just got here, then I heard the show's started so I joined in." said Khayun. Soon, Abdullah cr7 starts whispering in on Shumair's ear in native language. "Yeah got it, let me ask (approaches Khayun) so Tim, uhm, why you're hanging out with her?" asked Shumair.

"Excuse me? I'm right here." said Athina. "I know, I didn't say you were, it's just.. you're with a Greasers right? why bother what'ch you got going with our friend." said Shumair. "Relax, it's just talking that's all, we kind of met, isn't that right?" asked Khayun. "Let me ask you first, why is that, me talking with Tim here, is bothering you guys?" asked Athina.

"He's our friend, we have his back." said Afthab. "Seriously, there's no need to watch by back, I already got it covered, thanks." said Khayun. "Your friend? he's one of your loser's club too?" asked Athina.

"Relax, don't make this into a embarrassing situation." said Khayun. "Actually, yeah, he is one of us, the losers, you know why? because losers don't show out their body over to some dude!" said Shumair to which Athina enrages.

"What the hell did you say about me?" asked Athina enraged. "Guys, cut it out." said Khayun while trying to prevent them from going into conflict. "I said it right, we all know about the pics, how you sent them out to Mor, and made him lick your boots!" yelled Shumair. "Piss off!" yelled Athina.

"Alright, that's enough! both of you, just stop!" yelled Khayun while pushing them away further towards their opposite sides.

"The two of you need to calm down, we're not here to fight, this is children's Day for godsake, and you (turns towards Athina) keep it cool, I know you have a little burning mind inside that head, but if you don't learn to keep it cool, soon there will be conflicts worse than this!" yelled Khayun to which Abdullah CR7 claps as he then turns towards them.

"And as for you idiots, I didn't ask to be your friend, you came to me, and I have the right to be with whoever I want, I don't need your protection!" yelled Khayun. "But, Tim, we were just trying to.." said Shumair before getting interrupted by Khayun.

"What part of, I don't need your protection, do you not understand?" asked Khayun to which Shumair and his friends remain shocked and speechless. "Now scram off, before I say something worse than it already is." said Khayun to which Shumair points out to him while tears are slightly reining through his eyes.

"You're gonna regret this, you're going to feel for this.." said Shumair while his friends take him back towards the exit of the show. "For sure, now scram, damm, kids these days." said Khayun as he then proceeds onwards directly towards Dr Clarissa having waited long enough.

As he approaches her, one of her bodyguards immediately tries to prevent him to which he counters and grapples him down to a hold by his hand. "One more move against me, and I'll break it, got it?" asked Khayun to which the bodyguard nods as he lets go and approaches her.

"I thought I made it clear to wait." said Dr Clarissa. "Well, I'm not a patient man, now what is that's so important, you wanted me to come all the way onto here?" asked Khayun. "As I said before, wait, I'll get back to you, once it is all over." said Dr Clarissa.

"I'm done waiting, either you tell me now, or I'll be leaving and informing the entire Creed of your identites and location, how does that sound?" asked Khayun to which Dr Clarissa pauses for a while, looking at him, until she eventually sighs, and prepares herself for his response.

"Fine, you want the truth? follow me." said Dr Clarissa. "What about her?" asked Khayun. "I'll leave that decision upto you, she's in your hands now." said Dr Clarissa.
