**The Ex-Factor**

Nigee's mind was still reeling from the anger management class debacle as he walked home, the warm sun on his face a stark contrast to the turmoil brewing inside him. The events of the day replayed in his mind like a broken record – the condescending instructor, the snapping at him, and the smashing of his fist on the table. He couldn't help but wonder if he was truly cut out for this whole anger management thing. As he approached his house, Nigee noticed a familiar figure standing by the mailbox, her long, curly hair blowing gently in the breeze. It was Sakiyah, his ex-girlfriend. They had parted ways a few months ago, but Nigee still had feelings for her. He hadn't seen her in a while, and he couldn't help but feel a pang of excitement at the sight of her. Sakiyah, however, looked different. She seemed... distant. Her usual bright smile was replaced with a concerned expression, and her eyes darted nervously around the street. Nigee's instincts kicked in, and he felt a sense of unease wash over him. "Hey, Sakiyah. What's up?" Nigee asked, trying to sound casual despite the butterflies in his stomach. Sakiyah turned to him, her eyes locking onto his. "Nigee, I need to talk to you about something," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. Nigee's heart skipped a beat as he ushered Sakiyah into the house. His mom was busy in the kitchen, but she gave them a discreet nod before disappearing into the living room. Sakiyah took a deep breath before speaking. "I've been getting these weird messages, Nigee. Someone's been watching me, and I think they're in trouble." Nigee's grip on the doorframe tightened. "What kind of messages?" Sakiyah hesitated, her eyes scanning the room as if she feared being overheard. "I don't know. They're just... strange. They say things like 'you're mine now' and 'you'll never escape.'" A chill ran down Nigee's spine. He knew that look, that tone. Sakiyah was scared. Before he could respond, Sakiyah's phone buzzed. She glanced at the screen, and her eyes widened in terror. "What's wrong?" Nigee asked, his voice low and urgent. Sakiyah's voice trembled. "It's... it's an unknown number. It says... 'You're mine now, Sakiyah.'" Nigee's eyes narrowed. This was no ordinary prank. Someone was playing a twisted game with Sakiyah, and Nigee was determined to put a stop to it. But before he could react, Sakiyah's eyes went wide, and she stumbled backward. Nigee caught her by the elbow, holding her steady. "Sakiyah, what's happening?" he demanded. But it was too late. A blinding light enveloped them, and Nigee felt himself being pushed away. When the light faded, Sakiyah was gone. Nigee stumbled backward, his eyes scanning the empty space where Sakiyah had stood. A piece of paper fluttered to the ground, and Nigee picked it up, his heart sinking. On the paper, in bold, red letters, was a single message: "She's mine now." Nigee's grip on the paper tightened, and his mind racing, he knew he had to act fast. He thought of his trusty steel bat, leaning against the wall in his room, a symbol of his anger and determination. He could almost feel its weight in his hands, urging him to take action. With a newfound sense of purpose, Nigee set his jaw and took off at a sprint, determined to find Sakiyah and bring her home. Little did he know, his adventure was only just beginning, and the fate of Sakiyah and the dimensions hung in the balance.
