TOTAL CHAOS HUNGOVER STAMFORD HIGH on the first day of the final term as 20 cars blazing in the parking lot outside... with the fire brigade in the thick of the action with fire-hoses, putting out the blazes.

... blaring siren of ambulances rushing the 13 victims, WHOSE CELLPHONES BLEW up-on them... were rushed to near hospitals. Police were securing the safety, of curious onlooking students, away from further harm...

... inside the school building, the bomb-squad was DIFFUSING 3 CELLPHONES with 'unopened' shared files – of the post-title:

'Breakup of Perth's famous couple'

... they 'had' successfully contained it – with their equipment to 'implode' the phone-bombs, without further injuries.

The TV media outside were referring to the tragic incident – as a terrorist attack in Perth.

The shaken Jane Wilson called her doctor-mother at the clinic – to inform that she was safe, from the terrible occurrence that just happened. Her BFF too did the same... by calling Robin Wong, her hairdresser-mother.

The traumatized girls then called for an Uber ride – to leave the tragic and wretched view... that was happening before their eyes.

Both girls were hugging each other, in the hypnotized-crowd gathered. The blind-Jane's body was shaking, by the 'loud-noises' she heard – and intensive heat, blown by the wind. Alicia was silent in tears, recalling at their classroom where she saw – Charlotte Thompson down on the floor, face-disfigured in blood...

... although the victim-girl WAS MEANSPIRITED TOWARDS her and Janey – but she does 'not' deserve this fate.

... 20 minutes later, Cousin John Chew, who was the Uber driver from Chinatown – made his way there, squeezing through roadblocks and the jam... to collect the girls.

On the journey back home, Jane was narrating to Alicia 'again' of the fight she had with Peter. Where earlier, Douglas Zimmerman had encouraged her and Peter to sign-in for the mixed double entry for the school, and Jane replied that she will-think-about-it. Douglas asked for her cellphone number, and she gave to him – Peter apparently 'saw' that, and...

... that was where the 'argument' in the canteen had blown off.

Now, in tears, she had a CONFESSION TO MAKE...

"Ali, I have 'not' told you this...

"... that when I first came, from my former blind-school to Stamford... Peter had won the championship and was the most 'popular' boy in school...

"... I had a 'secret' BLIND-GIRL CRUSH on him back then, that he was my 'dream-boyfriend.' And, I had 'admired' his raw-confidence... and the 'way' he spoke-up for 'himself' when he was 'bullied' around – so much so, as a blind-timid-self...

... I soon SPOKE 'LIKE HIM' to my Mummy at home... and that was 'why' my mother called me a rebel B-girl...

"... I was attentively hearing Peter in class daily – and at night at home on my bed – I fantasize Peter talking with me, having long, made-up conversations, till I fall asleep...

"... then...

"...when he WAS INVOLVED IN the accident, I cried myself to sleep of my-Peter – who would never live up his 'dreams' of being a tennis player again. That way why, I wanted to give him a PURPOSE-AND-MY-SUPPORT – but...

... but-that WAS 'BEFORE,' WHEN... the 3 of us, got 'cursed'... on the dairy-farm field trip...

"Ali...

"... now I am having dreams of 'him' visiting me at night... no-Ali, more-like stalking me – I'm 'not' comfortable with the 'plans' which he makes without consulting me... like he has a 'GRIP' OF ME – and most of all... even the TENNIS RACQUET THAT he carries... I'm afraid of it...

"... because it has... AN 'AURA,' OF EVIL in it."

<>

"WHAT THE HELL...? WHO DARE ENTER MY ROOM!!?"

... the shocked, Peter cursed out...

... the one-armed boy noticed that someone had entered his room – TRASHED IT – and, RELOCKED HIS room door.

He entered his wrecked domain and was searching for what was 'stolen' in ransack. His iPad was on the wet floor, beside the crushed Red Bull cans...

... the electronic tablet was his most prized possession, that he owned.

He checked if it was broken – Peter was relieved that it was 'not' – and all files that were tennis-related was there, the links to the Australian academy and 'others' were safe.

He opened a particular file, of the 'dirt' he had collected-and-hidden, of PAUL IN VIDEO – where cripple was levitating on his bed while taking a nap. That was the 'only' evidence he HAD AGAINST POE, who wanted so-hard – to conceal his identity of superpowers as 'his' secret...

... but, someday... 'this' would be revealed, to their doubting-inspector-mother, of her favourite son.

Peter's heart-ached when he saw the treasured, rare old magazines of his idol John McEnroe torn, 'chewed' and scattered all around the room's floor. He was back by being angry – and left the room – assuming that nothing was 'stolen'...

... just a case of vandalism...

But little he knew, that the 2 hell-hounds of Asmodeus came into his room... via a dimension from hades – and had stolen his 'SOULMATE-BLOOD-VIAL' gift to his Janey.

... Peter dashed downstairs to check the CCTV cameras footages – of what went on, when the house was 'empty,' hours earlier – but only-to discover the perpetrator had CLEVERLY 'ERASED' the recordings.

He was mad-again – and saw the main door beside him, with key rattled the lock. Entered-was his twin on his wheelchair...

"... Poe... we HAVE A BREAK-IN – and someone trashed my room!"

<>

PAUL LUNGED AT THE STANDING PETER, from his wheelchair. The levitating Paul barked... at the one-armed boy's face...

"What has GOTTEN INTO YOU, you moron – and why have you 'cursed us' just now!!?"

"Poe, what ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT...?" Peter denied.

"Don't say that you were 'not' the cause of all THOSE-EXPLOSION and-chaos at school, just-now...? Peter, you don't lie to me! I even saw YOU KICKED THAT senior-boy, from the upstairs classroom floor..."

"No, you are the one-lying! I did 'NOT' KICK ANYONE down!" He denied again while he wrestled the levitating Paul.

"He was nearly killed, you moron – YOU DON'T LIE TO ME, Peter – because I was there, and I saw it – and I even saved his life..." Paul was angrier.

"You don't accuse me blindly unless you have the proof?" Peter challenged his twin.

"You're a Catholic-like me 'now' which part of the damn 'Thou-SHALL-NOT-Kill' have you forgotten – just say it... and I will 'refresh' your memory now...!!?"

... Paul flew above dragging Peter to the high ceiling of the house that their father built – towards the MOVING CEILING FAN... and placed his one-armed twin's face... close to the fast-rotating blades...

... Peter pissed his pants – as he saw his nose, coming close – blades near-reaching his screaming face.

"No Poe! I'M-SORRY, POE... I'm sorry!"

... Paul had a 'jump' and the OTHER PERSONA EMERGED – the Archangel stretched his mighty big-White wings – St. Michael was in his full-battle, biblical warrior of the heavens, tunic-costume-gears...

... who eyeballed with glower into... the 'possessed,' mortal human – and felt disgusted with what he held.

In close-up, Peter too saw the Archangel face-to-face – with his heavenly-cosmic-eyes, staring at him intensively...

... St. Michael did a loud war-cry, at Peter's face, with loud bugle-horn in the background – Peter piss-more in his pants, apologizing...

"ssorry... Sirr..."

... St. Michael flicked the one-armed boy, like a pest – and across, Peter fell on his belly, upstairs. The one-armed picked up his strength to turn to look back, at his predator...

There he was... all blue-lights, a-celestial warrior with his heavenly wings, half-flapping. The Archangel shouted, a clear warning-order – THAT THE ANGEL'S 'BREATH' even made... household things move and drop, at the Walkers residence...

"MERCURY!!! BEGONE, YOU EVIL!!!"

... Peter screamed in-fear... ran away, and locked himself in his trashed-bedroom.

<>

PAUL DESCENDED TO THE FLOOR OF THE LIVING ROOM – and, he was dazed and confused about what just had just happened – in the flash of a moment ago...

... all that he remembered was picking Peter-off the ground, but 'CANNOT' REMEMBER of what-next of Peter.

... Paul Walker doesn't know – that he can TRANSFORM, INTO ST. MICHAEL from the dream realm, at times.

He was sweating profusely, from his scar on his throat... and he needed to cool down. He levitated fast to his windowless room – and floated above and near, to the blowing air-conditioned. Paul felt relieved a moment...

... he was back worried of the happening back 'there,' just now – on the first day of school.

He thought of having a great final-term of school with his studies and succeeding in exams with Alicia – who, wanting to help him improve his ranking to Top-5 in class. But that was 'not' going to happen... with still being 'his brother's-keeper'.

... Peter was aggressive and fearless to threats of Paul using his-superpowers – and even dared him to hurt him, on several occasions. Paul blamed his-new-found 'courage'... was the ONLINE DRUGS, HIS TWIN was using... and was under-influenced into.

Paul must gather the evidence for it, to show their mother – maybe by hiding the next delivery of such prescriptions in the future... but 'not' now – because, Peter did a clean-up of his bedroom, 3 days ago... when the Walkers had their 'visitors from America'.

He did 'not' have a nap, in that hot weathered day. He was thinking hard of Peter's next MOVES AND HOW he must counter and neutralized it... without revealing his and Jane's superpowers identities...

Yes, Jane...

... Paul had TO DO HER 'THINKING' for her... as she too was deep, into the 'cursed-mess' like-him...

... cos' SHE WAS – PETER'S 'love-interest'...

-O-

Later that evening he called Alicia Wong – to vent his frustrations that he was invested into, so far. He told about the drugs that Peter was influenced in, that he had gone out of hand ... that, he was even willing to kill Douglas Zimmerman.

... Paul was running out of options of 'taming' Peter since he 'was' the cause-of-the phone-bombing in SHS...

... who was now fearless and had caused HURT AND INJURIES AND EVEN 'DEATH' to-those-who crossed his cursed-path. The only final option was his 'Plan B'...

... that WAS KILLING PETER, before Perth's situation was threaten even more.

He would go to prison for killing his twin – but it should be done, as his brother's keeper – for the sake of humanity's wellbeing.

... Paul heard Alicia crying, on the other end, saying...

"But Pauly... you are a Christian and you should 'not' kill. It will 'scar' you, for the rest of your life by-you killing your-own twin brother – there should BE ANOTHER 'WAY' – and we should work hard to find, that solution instead..."

... the Chinese girl suggested that she should allow Ms Diana King to intervene, as the student counsellor had managed Peter before in his twin's anger management – Ms King would be the RIGHT PERSON FOR THE ROLE... as she was also part of the cabal of the Cursed-Trio...

... Alicia suggested for A 2ND GROUP THERAPY tomorrow, Tuesday...

... Paul passively listened, as he had crystal recalled their first meet – that had 'not' turn-out well before – and, he much PREFERRED HIS 'PLAN B' more... to work for the 'best' outcome...

<>

SINCE COMING BACK FROM THE TRAGEDY of Stamford High, Jane locked herself in her room and was rethinking hard... of her current 'distractions' to her education – who was Peter...

... the 'taker', not a 'giver' – unlike her, Alicia, and his own twin Paul.

It made her angry at herself that she had been submissive SINCE, HER QUEST to give Peter a 'purpose' in his own down-spiralling lonely-life of hate and self-pity, as a handicapped victim.

... but-now... Peter had 'abused' her effort...

She decided to STAND-UP FOR HERSELF – and 'not' give in into Peter's every demand... and be a pushover...

... although, the one-armed boy... was a bully by nature.

-O-

Jane came downstairs for lunch and was greeted by the nanny-Lola, who was feeding her brother Samuel – who the baby-boy now has a new interest in watching DVD of the live-animation 'Jungle Book' with wild-animals... which their parents bought for him yesterday.

After eating, the blind-girl joined Baby Samuel by sprawling on the rug with him – listening 'more' to the movie's dialogues and soundtrack – along with Samuel's talkative storytelling.

... she remembered her daddy reading an abbreviated 'The Jungle Book' as her one of her favourite bedtime stories when she was little-like Samuel...

... Jane later read Rudyard Kipling's full version in braille, when she was in her former blind school. She 'knew' THE STORYLINE AND THE CHARACTERS in it.

Samuel was narrating his own version...

"Bagheera bad tiger, Piper barking woow-woow-woow – Bagheera Popobawa barking roarw-roarw-roarw – and... Jaheem scared..."

... the Black-boy placed his sister's hand... to his 'beating' heart...

Jane knew that Samuel was recollecting what had happened at the zoo, 10 days ago. He was referring the black panther Bagheera in the story, as 'bad' in his own self-experiences faced – while it was opposed of Sheer Khan... was the baddie, in Kipling's story.

The blind-girl did 'NOT' CORRECT HER BROTHER because... what he 'said' was his personal 'reality.'

<><>

PETER WOKE UP IN THE TUESDAY MORNING with a weird dream of Jane and her dog Piper, were in their school, Stamford High.

The blind-girlfriend was 'not' in speaking terms with him, and whenever Peter approached her, Piper was BLOCKING AND BARING his teeth fiercely at him. Piper was there protecting Jane in every-situation... in the classroom, canteen and recreational classroom.

So much so, the frustrated Peter cried out...

"Hey Janey, this is 'NOT' YOUR BLIND-SCHOOL – you cannot bring your bloody-damn Cujo-dog in here! I'm complaining you to Principal Harris!"

-O-

Peter switch on his iPhone and the only-worthy worth-his attention was the notification was a tweet, from his inspector-mother, which read...

'Peter, Ms King will be holding a Group therapy meeting at our house this afternoon. I will be at work – and YOU BETTER BEHAVE, AND ATTEND AND COOPERATE...!'

Peter clicked his tongue and sighed – there was his life, like a broken record ... being dictated by the adults again. There CAME AGAIN MS KING – the con-woman with her China-made tech... to lecture 'the' goods-and-bads – so to be obedient students or else, the boogie-man-will-get-you scares...

... while-his inspector-mother too was out there, in the Serious Crime Division... chasing her 'own' boogie-man... by investigating the zoo case, of Hajji... who was at large.

Peter re-read an email sent yesterday evening, from the STAMFORD HIGH ADMIN, informing that school was closed for 2 days... for police investigation – and...

... the school will be reopened on Thursday for regular classes.

Still, on his bed, Peter opened up his electronic iPad tablet – to see what was trending in the social network sphere...

... there it was...

... 'the Breakup of Perth's Famous Couple' news that was trending high, in a negative-way connecting – that a MALICIOUS AND DANGEROUS virus was spreading... on the internet, that had caused injuries of 13 Stamford High students and 56 other victims in other parts of the country...

... who 'shared' the video in Perth...

... who had their CELLPHONES BLOWN in at them – when they had opened the 'Breakup-video' file...

At least a silver-lining...

... that bad news had bumped the Perth-Hero-Dog story down...

Peter took his time, to read the comment section of every 'Breakup' post posted – there was a clash between the 'Perth's Famous Couple' lovers-group and the haters-group who blamed blindly, that he and Janey were the jinx, for the recent phone-bomb attacks in Perth.

He scoffed...

The one-armed boy 'suspected' that all his social media accounts have been 'HACKED-BY-HATERS' – and they placed that killer-virus' masking-in the popularity of his 'Perth's Famous Couple's' circle...

... and, those 'hater-hackers' too have bombed-down the high reputation of 'his-Perth's Famous Couple' brand – that he was diligently building, scheming and marketing – FOR OVER 2 WEEKS – ever-since he came into the 'fluke' limelight – as the 'boyfriend'... after-the girlfriend's black panther attack.

'Why you, haters...? What have you 'all' haters got...

... AGAINST 2 HANDICAPS IN-LOVE...

...or even-play sports...?'

THAT SAME TUESDAY MORNING, THE BLIND-JANE had a call from her BFF... saying that there would be an urgent meeting of the Cursed-Trio, with Ms King, at Walker's residence, that afternoon at 3 PM. And...

... Alicia would also swing by her place at noon... to hang-out with Jane and Samuel.

Instead of sitting in her room upstairs – and cracking her head of how-and-what Peter, was going to say and...

... going-to argue – and going-to react which WERE USUALLY NEGATIVE with an outburst...

... she had 'self-motivated' herself to 'do' something positive instead...

... so, she programmed Boyyo to downloading-mode, to upload the balance of her study syllabus – and left her room – walking down the stairs...

... blind-Jane smiled... as she 'heard' her brother laughing... as he watched the 'same' Jungle Book DVD, for the 10th time...

'... he was born in Kenya, and he loved his animals...'

The blind-sister concluded.

She wanted to be creative, and wanted to paint– and 'play' with colours – as Alicia had GUIDED HER BEFORE, during the time she was 'grounded,' since the zoo incident.

With some old newspaper, lined at the dining table – the blind-Jane painted 3 of her 'abstract' art, while listening to music – hooked to Peter's favourite band, the Gorillaz... on Spotify.

Splashing colours in her-brush to the white-art-paper... where...she disliked using the colour 'black' – which was the 'colour' of her blind-world...

After an hour, Lola Flores in-between her chores noticed... that Jane had painted some non-figurative art-pieces – the Filipina did 'not' ask her anything, but she was silently-standing and observing the progression of Jane's abstracts...

... which she couldn't much comprehend. All Lola saw was 3 individual art-papers with hues of reds, blues, and yellows...

And, Lola remembered seeing a YouTube video recently... of Thailand's zoo's elephant... that painted the picture a 'flower' which fascinated her – but she can't figure out Jane's paintings – and... neither she asked, what it 'was.'

The bliss-focused blind-girl, who was in headphones...

... was dopamine-high and, was slowly appreciating the discorded sound... of the band's rock 'beats' of her 'boyfriend's taste' – thinking of WHAT HIS 'ACTIONS' would he-be into... once she later visited him this afternoon...

... as she was pushing her paintbrush on art paper, with red-paint...

-O-

Alicia arrived at noon and was astonished by her BFF's attempted art, on her own – and, producing 3 abstracts...

... even the Chinese girl doesn't know 'what' Jane had painted – and, the blind explained that all-3 of her art she-did was BASED ON HER MEMORY, of using her cursed power, the 3rd-Eye...

... she started explaining that the artwork with hues of red, orange and brown was when she and Peter played tennis with Doug-and-Zoe.

"Janey, what is this 'yellow-circle' is it the sun...?"

The blushing blind-girl laughed, saying. "No silly, it is the tenno-ball, 'coming' at me."

... pointing the reds on the right. 'This is Peter... 'glowing' beside me.' Then, at the horizontal orange line. 'That is the tennis net.'"

... Alicia 'got' it – and was awed of 'what' HER TOTALLY BLIND-FRIEND 'SAW'...with her 3rd-Eye POV of her surroundings... if she used her 'beacons' of the 'glowing-Peter-and-Paul – revealed by the abstracts' colour scheme.

The next abstract were yellows, greens and orange – Alicia recognized it...

"That is your hand and fingers, right?"

Jane laughed and agreed...

"Yes-Ali, that was what I 'saw', when I went downhill during skateboarding. I placed my hand 'in-front' of me, to 'see' – while Peter was cycling behind... where I saw-of 'orange.' The same way, I guessed... 'what' your yellow-key-chain was before, in my room."

Alicia was so excited... and she hugged the seated Jane, as she cheered – but paused at the multi-usage of 'blues'...

"What is this 3rd one, Jane-gee – I can't figure this one out? Is it a 'bluebird' in the light blue sky...? And, what is this red and brown circle, in the top left corner?"

"This is what I 'saw' – when Pauly and I ... were battling BlackStar in the Aurora Australis – Paul had 'wings' then..."

"Way-no-way – my-Pauly had wings? Are you exaggerating in this-one, Janey? Only birds and chooks have wings."

"I know, I know – I have been to a petting zoo before, when I was in blind-school, Ali – and I know 'only' birds have wings. But, up-there while facing BlackStar...

"...Paul 'grew' 2 wings – 'not' once, but 'twice' when I 'saw' it...! But... I did 'not' get a chance later, to ask him about it."

... Alicia was quiet and thought of last Friday's 'joke-of-the-day'– when the 'visitor' named TARO, HAD ASKED the twins – 'if they could fly' in the questionnaire...

... and Peter replied...

'... if they could-fly... Paul was Big-bird.'

She knew her boyfriend can fly-levitate... BUT WINGS...?

Lola came-out of the kitchen and said lunch was served...

... both girls ate and waited for Ms King to call... before they e-hailed an Uber and head to the Walkers.
