Previously on the Chronicles of Isioma: I beg you, you are my only hope right now, please help me’ she pleaded with David. David looks down in disapproval. ‘This is insane, how can you tell me to go for Ultimate search because of what I know nothing about, na wa ooo… you have to look for someone else” David said, walking round the garden. Isioma pleaded and pleaded until he finally answered. “Where do we start from? Where exactly did you bury it? Missed Episode 1-5? READ IT HERE

Episode 6

Isioma left David after she told her story, David couldn’t still figure out how he was going to start looking for the Chronicles. He laid in his room, thinking of what he could do to help her, he was down for days, Isioma came to check from time to time on whether he was ready to go in search of the book.

It was raining and David was in his room reading, Isioma appeared and he became scared. “I know I have allowed you into my life but it doesn’t give you the audacity to come in anytime you wish, allow me to think of myself for once” he said feeling scared of her appearance. “why are you harsh, how would I give you notice when am not human, why are you being cruel to me, I have faced a lot when I was alive, the least I want now is more troubles and heart breaks” she said sadly. David then apologized.

The door opened and David jumped up from his bed, it was his mother. “David are you sick, what is wrong with you, are you mad? I have been observing you lately and all I hear you do is talk to yourself, I have been standing outside your room for some minutes, who were you talking to? Eh Dave, who were you talking to?” she shouted at him. David was shocked at her tone, he didn't know what to say, he looked around and told her he was talking to nobody but himself. She doubted him and concluded he needed to be examined. She left his room to call the family doctor.

David lamented to himself “what kind of problem is this, why must I be the one this girl should send, afterall we are not family neither friends, why is what I see in the movies happening to me, na wa ooo”.

************************few hours later****************************

After David’s mother insisted he must be examined, the doctor said there was nothing wrong with him that he was fine. “you see, nothing is wrong with me, mummy abeg leave me alone” he left the sitting room angrily. Getting to his room, he met Isioma already seated on his bed, he stood at the door and starred at her for a long time. “Why are you starring at me, David?” she asked him, “you are very beautiful” he replied. Isioma who was surprised thanked him and said “my beauty now is useless, so get your mind off it, how far have you gone with your thinking, we don’t have much time, let’s look for this book please”. David gazed at her again, he was falling for her already but it was useless, she was untouchable and a spirit, so there was no need to fall so much.

Isioma knew what was on his mind but pretended to be naïve, she was so disappointed that David was already lusting for her even In spirit, but there was no point, she just needed someone to help her get her book and hand it over to the police. His mother walked in again, this time she was so sure of what she saw him doing, he was talking and making gestures to someone, but who was the question. She quietly walked out of the room, David was surprised that she didn’t utter a word, he knew what his mother was capable of and he just wanted to leave the house that minute.
