All roads lead to Maria

Chapter 2

Maria’s unconscious thoughts echoed through her mind. She shut off her alarm. Wasting no time she used the restroom and brushed her teeth. She then put on her clothes (which were a white t-shirt and jogging pants) and tied her blue streaked braids into a ponytail. * She walked to Chloe’s door and began to knock.*

“Hey Chloe it’s time get up it’s important” Maria said patiently.

Chloe slugged out of bed and dragged to open the door, half asleep and half dressed. “ Muh-reee-ahh huh” she wiped her eyes, “ what’s going on why did you wake me up so early on break?”. In a serious tone Maria began, “ last night they got Tristen, I set up a meeting for 8 AM at the playground, and I know group b got him” “ How do you know it was group b?” “ I’ll tell you later, and make sure you wear your bracelet. Hurry up get ready, it’s 7:25, and knowing group B’s leader we don’t have much time”

“ Oh no not my Tris Tris!!, she shouted in a panic. I’ll hurry up and get ready!” Chloe practically ran to get dressed. In that moment, Maria felt that it was pointless to try to calm Chloe down so she just decided to wait on her. Maria took a seat on the sofa that was bought for a fairly cheap price, and began to ponder. “ Could this all be a setup, or is it a poorly executed k********g, no Tristen hardly even goes over there, and group b isn’t that sloppy. This also couldn’t have been a trap because I keep a very low profile hardly anyone knows who the leader of group z really is. Only a select few could reveal her identity. Could there have been a traitor In group z?!?!” She felt a wave of stress as her thoughts carried on.” “Maria” a voice began. She paused. “Maria, join me I can solve all your problems, and give you power over all your enemies, even that money you owe, You can have it all for a price.” “ Who and what are you? what price? Do you have something to do with the nightmare I keep having?” Maria found herself puzzled.

The voice replied “ you can call me Samantha, as for the price I ask you to coexist with me, and the nightmares are because you deny me.”

“ What the hell!?! What do you mean coexist, are you not here?”

“ It’s still a little bit deeper than that” Samantha chuckled………” You also don’t know what to do right now, you know group b will mop the floor with you without my help.”

Maria thought for a second and responded “ Why should I trust you you’re a voice in my head, how do I know you’re not an evil one?”

“ Because darling, you’re out of options.” ?

Maria thought “we would definitely be out numbered, If I want to save Tristen this is the only way, how bad could it really be.”

“ I’ll do it” she said strongly.

“ I will be there when it all begins” Samantha said proudly.

The voice now left and didn’t say another word.
