Dear Rover not even airtel or your lappy can gang against you and this captivating story .As for me am waiting patiently,infact my name s nw patient cos of this story,i come on nairaland recently,,,straight literature,next na rover i dey find,,,infact this has taken a good part of me.Sweet rover,dear rover,,,thank you so much.

“Let her go!” I shouted. Although I kept my distance, every cell in my body protested in an effort to lunge forward at Mr A***’s throat. I watched in horror as he manipulated the chains that bound Nina’s wings and once again they caught fire. Nina screamed again and her eyelids shut tight as her face contorted in pain.

......................
“There are angels everywhere, Chuks. Sometimes they cross the veil too. They are the kind and gentle people you see on the road, at your office, in the market. True, we may not be many, but we are there and we do what we can to alleviate the suffering of others, even as we too gain experience and learn lessons that make us grow in wisdom. The veil may take away our memories of the spirit realm, but it does not take away the need to impart goodness that is always in our hearts. And no, I am not dead.”

“But, he tore out your wings...how…I don’t understand.” I said.

“You don’t need to understand everything.” She said. “Sometimes you just have to have faith. These powers I exhibited today were not meant to be used here. Even as I speak I can feel it leaving me. I am meant to live a normal life here, like any other human being, without extraordinary powers, without a sword, without Sight. It was this fight that released my spirit form. I will return now to how I was before and will have little or no remembrance of what I just did. It will be like I am awakening from a dream. I don’t want you to remind me of what happened just now, it won’t help and I won’t believe you anyway. Thank you Chuks.

She slowly stopped glowing and soon Nina, good old normal Nina, was once again standing before me, looking as real and as beautiful as ever. I hugged her, though tentatively at first but then she laughed and drew me closer to her.

“You did it! You defeated him!” she cried.

I looked into her eyes, and truly there was no remnant of the entity that was there only a moment ago. I decided to take her advice.

“Yes, I did.” I said, smiling.


Holding her hand I looked back at Mr. A*** who was now sitting, still trembling, on the floor.


“Let’s get out of here.” I said smiling and we made for the door.

As I opened it I saw a large flock of those bat-creatures. They had been hanging around on the scanty hedge and on the rooftops. As soon as we stepped out they rose into the air, circled the house once and then they all flew inside through the open door. I heard Mr. A**** scream from inside, “No. NO!!! Don’t you recognize me? I am YOUR master!!! NOOO!!!” and then there was a scuffle as if he was struggling with them. A moment later he rushed out, laughing maniacally. He removed what was left of his French suit and started dancing. Then he stood up triumphantly and let out a long loud howl of laughter.

Nina gasped in alarm. “Do something chuks!”

“I can’t” I said, looking on in horror. “Can’t you see it?”

Nina shook her head, No. she had completely gone back to being human. If she still had her vision, she would have seen Mr. A****, laughing triumphantly in his madness, surrounded by a belfry of his bat-like creatures, almost too many to count, and chanting in a strange tongue.
