Scarlett a young girl of a very hardworking mother Susan lived in Luzira a small town in UK. The mother was always toiling to give her the best future and in so doing she always sent her to her sister Deborah to stay there during school time and in holidays she would come back and stay with her. Enjoying mum and daughter relationship.

One holiday, Scarlett lived with her mother like usual. She loved her mum so much as much as the mum did too. They had great memories, cherishing each other but time flies so fast. It was about a day for Scarlett to go to school.

A day before, Scarlett has this nightmare she never had before. She screamed and her mum was right there for her saying, "hey baby I'm right here, nothing can ever hurt you mum is here darling."
Like every great mum, Susan was there to make Scarlett feel home.

After sometime, Susan asks her daughter what happened? What's wrong my baby girl?.

Scarlett replies, "Mum I don't think I should go back to my aunt for studies!!"

"Why baby?", Mother replies.

"I had this bad dream and in it mum, in it I, I die!!", Scarlett stammers and cries.

"No, no no baby you won't die, nothing will happen to you I'm here for you and I will ride with you to your aunt's house too.", Mum replies as she cuddles her child.

"it's just I dream baby, just a mere dream.", Mum adds.

"okay mum I love you.", Scarlett says.

The morning came and both Scarlett and her mum headed for a ride to her aunt's house. They reached safely and as the mum was heading back for her work, Scarlett says, " mum I'm not feeling right with this, I want to be with you, I will be safe with you please mum."

Susan replied that, "it's okay child, you'll be fine, it was just a dream and we shall keep in touch."

Sad Scarlett replies that, " it's okay mum never say I didn't tell you, you've offered me to my death mum you'll never see me again." I'm so sorry to say that but that's what I feel she added.

Susan advises her sister Deborah to take good care of her child like she always do and she leaves.
On the first day to school, Scarlett's ride to school delays and it never does. Scarlett gets nervous because she's already in fear since the nightmare.

Suddenly her ride arrives and she board it. waving to her aunt and she says, " goodbye aunt we meet again."
Deborah in shock because she never heard Scarlett use such words.

Deborah calls her sister and says, " sister what happened to this girl, she seems scared and I'm getting worried and scared too."

"No no no don't tell me that you are scared because the young girl's just had another nightmare?.'' She just had a nightmare of her death, Susan replied.

Deborah says, "oh that's scarely but it's just a dream, tell me about it?".

"She dream about her being involved in a fatal accident with that guy who rides with her to school and they both died", Susan narrated.

Deborah being like her sis says, " maybe it's just movies she watches, you shouldn't let her watch such scarely movies." okay sister let me do my house cleaning, she added.

As she hangs up the phone, another number calls. She picks and says, " what is it again Susan?".

"Ma'am, it's not Susan it's me the class teacher of your child Teddy."

Deborah says," I'm so sorry I thought it was Susan, but why did you call is there any problem with Scarlett?" Did she disturb again?. she added.

"No no, your daughter is dead." Teddy lowly said.

"what, don't say that nonsense on my kid.", Deborah angrily replied.

"No ma'am I'm serious, we are here inside Grace hospital and all the kids that used that school van died instantly, no survivors.", I'm so sorry ma'am Teddy added.

Puzzled Deborah rushes to the hospital to confirm the sudden sad news. She reaches the hospital and hears cries of other parents who had lost their children in the same accident and she effortlessly sits on the ground.

Teddy sees her and goes closer to comfort her. Deborah notices Teddy coming and she quickly dries the overwhelming tears from her face and asks her," how did this happen?".

Confused Teddy doesn't have a right answer to the question asked so she stammers, " I I, the driver had issues with his wife so he got drunk in the night so in the morning as he got to work and as he was...". Shut up, shut the fuck up, Deborah intervened her.

"What am I going to tell her mother?, what am I supposed to say?." You're telling me to tell her that rubbish?, Deborah angrily said.

You see, Scarlett told us, she told us about this wierd dream. The little girl just wanted. to save her life, she wanted to save us from this pain but we never listen to her. She kept telling us, telling us, Deborah cries out.

"you know what, go away from me now.", Deborah sharply says.

"okay, okay ma'am we are really sorry.", Teddy says.

A shock hits Susan at work, her heart starts beating fast, she remembers that she promised her little angel to check on her. She gets a phone and calls Deborah to remind her that she would like to talk to her daughter if she gets back from school.

Deborah reaches her pocket to see who calls in such inappropriate time. oh it's Susan, she gets so scared and nervous but picks up the call. " hey sis what's up?"

Susan says, " nothing just wanted to inform you that I want to speak to my little angel when she get back from school."

Deborah stays silent for a while and says, " Susan I want you to be calm and strong for your little angel."

"what?, you're scaring me already?", be straight with me Susan replies.

"Your, our little beautiful angel is gone, gone back to heaven." God has taken her, Deborah sadly replies.

"No no no it can't be, your just playing with me sis please stop your ugly games it's not good.", Susan giggles as she replies.

"I'm serious Susan God needed another angel, so he took her back to heaven, she's gone dead", Deborah adds.

"No, it can't be how it that possible, she told me." she really begged me to stay here with me but I didn't listen, Susan cries as she speaks out.
