There were roses everywhere, I could perceive them in my nostrils. The scent stuck to my nose, probably because I was laying on the floor. A foot away, close to a table was a lady, laying on the floor. She was so still that I imagined that she was dead.

I tried to sit up but I felt a great pain around my waist, the pain forced me to lay back down helplessly. we were in a restaurant and it was deserted! Then it occurred to me that the lady on the floor was my date, we had met on a forum called nairaland.

I had repeatedly liked her pix, quoted every comment she made, mentioned her moniker till I finally caught her attention. It took another extra month or two before she finally gave me her contact.

She must be dead now' I thought, staring at her. Strangely I wanted her dead, the thought made me feel safe! I just cant remember why, I don't even remember what had happened in the restaurant, but I remember every other thing else.

I glanced at my watch and it was 1:30am! What the hell!! I dipped my hand into my jean pocket to get my phone but it wasn't there. I glanced around and there it was, close to the exit door. I crawled slowly to get it, hoping to call for help. I hadn't reached the exit door when I realized that the phone had been smashed, probably against the wall or the floor.

None the less I decided to exit the restaurant and call for help, I pushed the door lightly and it failed to open, I pushed a little harder but it didn't move. it was a glass door so I could easily see outside.

As i moved closer to get a glimpse, my sight was greeted by a disturbing view. There were five dead bodies outside, two were the restaurant waiter and five others, probably customers. They were dead for sure! At this point I became really worried.

I glanced back at the lady and I could see her fingers move slowly. I don't even know if to be glad about this or not.

I just need to try to remember what had happened... I need to.

Few weeks ago after I got her contact I called her and her voice was the sweetest thing I have ever heard. we talked for hours especially on weekends.

After a while we met, although it was brief. This night was supposed to be the second time. I remember vividly waiting for her and seeing her come in, wearing this dark red gown, she looked like she was out of this world.

But I just can't remember what happened next! why! or should I try to wake her? I thought.

Next thing I noticed was a lady standing outside the restaurant, she was trying to get the door open. I crawled towards the door.

"you need to get out from there, you are not safe' and her words striked fear into my heart. What have I gotten myself into!?

"What happened here?" I asked her, screaming it out. I needed to know. She had stopped trying to open the door as it felt rather Impossible cos it seemed jammed somehow.

"That lady!" she said, "She is the one! she caused it all!"

"Caused what!?" I asked with deep fear in my heart.

"She's the one I swear, she did it all!" she kept rambling.

"did what?" I angrily asked impatiently.

"She....she..she...Oh my God! look!" She screamed pointing towards where the lady had been laying.

The lady was getting up!

"She is evil!!" the lady screamed, running away, leaving me to my own fate.

Deep in my heart I concluded i was done for!

The lady was somehow elevated, her feets above the floor, she was moving in the air. Her lips kept muttering inaudible chants then a strong breeze blew past me.

"you are not the first' she said to me. Her voice was rather deep now. I was shivering, I could hear my teeth's clatter together, my heart beat was so loud I thought I had already died.

I pulled a little strength and screamed..."what do you want!!!"

And as though the question pleased her, she twisted her head sideways with an ugly smile 'your soul' she said. 'your soul' she repeated.

She feasted on him, and just like the breeze that blew past him, she blew into oblivion and to the naked eyes she ceased to exit, but somewhere out there she is waiting for the next soul to devour!

FTC!
AND THATS ALL.
