Chapter 14

Day 9-12



"The gatekeeper is the keeper of the gates, hunter of lost souls. Link to the other side"
He didn't get the explication.
"I meant what the gatekeeper has to do with this...?"
"She armed Siera with the whip"

Favour continued, examining Julie closely.

"And what is that supposed to do?"
"Wipe Julie of existence, she is still here because the whip barely touched her. But you see this dark hole, once it spreads, she'll wash off"

Jack paced now, he had conflicting thoughts...he needed her around till he was sure of his safety.

"Look, you need to find a way to heal her...I need her for special reasons..."

He stopped pacing and took a good look at Favour again before he realised one fact.

"God I am no longer normal, So this is how Jack now talk to ghosts"

Favour was still for a while before she divulged the truth.

"I can't save her, but you can"

He couldn't believe his ears...it was ridiculous. The expression on his face wasn't what Favour had fathomed.

"Save who? Me? Look that girl is the reason my mother died, she locked me up till I lost my contract...Called me trash...the only reason I need her around is because she is a good bonus against Siera...But if this is what you are requesting, then forget it please...she can wash off from existence and stop plaguing my life"

Favour mouth stood agape...It was proof that Jack was after his own skin...she shut her eyes in rage that the foundation of the house shook.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

He shrieked in fear...maybe he had said too much.

"You ungrateful bastard, she defiled the gatekeeper because she wanted to save you...she sacrificed her chance of returning to the land of the living, because she wanted to see you don't end up dead...even if it meant losing her life in the process...you don't deserved it...you would rot, and she wouldn't be here to save you"

Favour dropped the word and took off with Julie...

He felt cold wash down his spine. The reality was quite confusing, but one thing was certain, he had said too much.

He sat on his sofa, instructing his subconscious mind not fall for the words he heard.

She had to go, she is the reason he lost his mother, he can't possibly forgive her for that.

"She can die for all I care..."

He concluded and life went on.

For days he tried not to think of Julie. He was quite smart to stall the thoughts anytime it surfaced.

First his apartment got messy again. Julie popped his thoughts but he waved it off. His personal efforts were beginning to lose hold...quickly he called Frank up, he clearly needed help.

"What's up bro, you home?"

Frank's affirmative response prompted him to request.

"How about we stop by the bar"

Frank was no rookie...he knew something was up, Jack requests for the bar when he was troubled.

"So are you telling me what's up?"

Jack had opened his mouth when he realised Frank wouldn't believe him anyway.

Instead he twisted the question.

"Is it wrong to neglect the person who sacrificed her own life to see you live life to the fullest?"

Frank chuckled at his question at first.

"Is it Siera? You had a fight?"

He wasn't hitting on the question.

"Frank answer the question"
"Bro it wrong nah, you don't need a soothsayer to spill this out. Why will you neglect the one person who sacrificed all to see you alive?"

Frank was perfectly sure he was talking about Siera, maybe they had a fight or something...or they broke up.

"Jack what have you done to Siera?"

Jack had his hands glued to the glass of beer he had stuck halfway to his mouth. He bowed in realisation.

"Frank, I'm a fool, I am a fool Frank, she sacrificed everything for me...everything"

Frank had not gotten a Confirmation to his question.

"Jack calm down, is it Siera?"

Jack stood up and gulped the last resort of beer, without dropping pleasantries, he started to his car.

"Jack?"

Frank called but he paid no attention. Jack's regret was tuned to anger, he needed someone to blame for his foolishness, and there was no perfect person than the originator of the whole incident.

He got to Prada designers and encountered Siera in a perfect spot, seated in her office.

"Jack? Jack I saw Julie, she wanted to kill me Jack"

She hurried and hugged him, feigned tears welled up in her eyes.

"You didn't even call to know what happened Jack, she almost killed me"

She still held onto him, sniffing and hoping he bought her story.

He freed himself from her grip. Slowly he trailed his hands to her neck.

She couldn't tell what is expression was...his hands trailing to her neck were arousing, erotic.

And slowly he had her against the wall and traced his hands from her breasts up to her neck now, massaging softly...she wasn't sure of his intentions, but he was damn erotic, she shut her eyes and trusted his guts for a while when she moaned out his name.

"Jack?"

And then suddenly, he tightened his grip, and slowly heaved the life from her. She struggled but her feminine strength was no match for his...

"Ja..ack" Her wild hit on his arm did her no good, he was going to snuff the life out of her.

 His voice was low but hoarse... His eyes red and jaw tightened. He muttered through his clenched teeth.

"You bastard...what have you done to my Julie...?"

Just a blink away, she would have lost her life. He freed her and waited till she caught her breathe before he warned.

"If I wait till nightfall, and I can't find Julie...you are dead, it's not a threat, it's a promise"

Chapter 13
Day 8/9
Jack was plainly going to drink his way to death. Julie screamed and attempted to stop it but surprisingly she was stuck, she couldn't go near them, and neither could Jack hear her.
Siera was smart, she poured out a glass of wine for herself too, so Jack wouldn't surmise a thing.
"Jack!"
She could discern that her calls were to no avail...cleverly she caused the vase on the dinning table to fall with a loud noise.
Jack got the notification. He sneezed and acted like he got startled with the thud...
"What was that?"
He had successfully knocked off the full bottle of wine and equally the one in his hands.
"I'm sure it's nothing... Oh my, your wine... And I bought it specially for you"
She growled within at the loss, but she was not ready to give it up yet...
"Have mine then"
She extended her glass of wine to him...he swallowed hard, smiled and returned the favour.
"No baby, you have it...I don't want to have your share...that would be too greedy"
"No I wouldn't mind"
She extended it again, gradually losing her patience with him.
"No, but I would mind...so no..."
She was quiet, contemplating on whether to flare up or keep calm.
"Emm Jack, have you been seeing Julie, her ghost?"
Her question was undeviating...he was thrown off balance and was careful in his response.
"Julie? I thought she was declared missing? They've found her?"
He recurred her question with his questions.
"Emm, yeah, but I've been seeing her ghost Jack, so I'm just wondering... Maybe she is dead"
Jack had the perfect moment to twist the question now.
"Why? Ghosts only go after people who are somehow connected to their death"
Siera glowered and hit him mildly.
"What's that? Maybe it's just my mind playing tricks on me, you know she was my best friend"
"Yeah maybe"
"Ok baby can I spend the night?"
Her request was suspicious... Well of course Jack was wise not to give in...
"Emm actually, I was planning to crash at Frank's place"
He had hoped that would somehow terminate the request...but she was adamant.
"Oh don't worry, I would stay behind...probably leave first thing tomorrow morning"
Jack wasn't sure of her intentions, but he was better of in Frank's apartment, than a night with Siera...
"Emm, ok...let me go get my pyjamas"
He walked past Julie and gave a signal.
"Jack, you are leaving me with her?"
She shivered in fear, thoughts of what Bernice might have armed Siera with scared Julie. She couldn't go near Jack when he was with Siera, it must be something Bernice has armed Siera with. She imagined the havoc Siera might create at Jack's absence.
"I have no choice, so she won't suspect that I can actually see you"
He whispered thru his clenched teeth.
"And you are a ghost Julie, is it possible to hurt a ghost?"
"It isn't, but not with the gatekeeper aiding her"
"Ok who is this gatekeeper"
Siera interrupted when she called.
"Baby? Who are you talking too"
"No one, I'm coming"
He turned back to Julie...
"I gotta go..."
She nodded and bit her fingers in fear.
"I love you"
He pretended not to hear, it was nothing serious...
"Take care baby"
The smiles Siera had was dubious...and he was having second thoughts now.
"I would take care of the house don't worry"
He nodded and started out.
Julie's fright pricked his heart again...She was in danger? But what can a human do to harm a ghost...its clearly impossible..
He drove steadily, just meters away from Frank's apartment he stopped the engine.
"I love you"
Why did she say that? He wouldn't see her again? Is that the reason she said that?
"Shit!"
He jerked his car in reverse and zoomed in high speed, back to his apartment.
"Julie!"
He called and barge into his house, the sitting room was turned into a mess, the dinning too...
"Siera?"
She was nowhere to be found...
"Julie?...Ju..."
He found her where she laid to the wall...shivering.
"Julie? Julie?"
He picked her into his arms..
"Oh my God.."
He noticed the big dark hole embedded in her chest, and the veins coiled up to her eyes.
"Dammit, Julie?"
"She is going to die"
It was favour...she appeared from nowhere
"Who the hell are you? what the hell are you saying, ghosts don't die"
"Not when the gatekeeper is involved Jack"
He had heard enough of the gatekeeper... He lashed in anger.
"Who the hell is the gatekeeper!!"

Chapter 12
Day 8

Julie was burning with wrath, she felt like strangling Siera to death, if only that were possible, Bernice would surely prevent her from doing that. At an instance she thought of what challenge Bernice might throw at her, she got a little scared, but no, she wasn't going to give this up...she won't let the fear get in the way.
"How did it go?"
Favour tagged along, taking time to survey the environs for Bernice.
"I challenged her, there is no way I would allow Siera murder Jack"
"You did what?"
Julie was ready to lash at favour when she questioned sarcastically. But Favour's reaction was one of shock, not disdain.
"Julie, no ghost on the other side, I mean no one dares The gatekeeper, are you serious? You did that?"
Julie furrowed eyes eased up now, she appeared to see Jack asleep before she replied Favour..
"Well there is always a time for everything"
She was quiet, pondering on what to do next. Siera can see her, she was sure Siera would want to double her game...or Bernice would surely provide Siera some weapon to use against her.
"What do we do now? Siera can see me"
Favour was quiet at her question, because she knew one thing for sure...Julie was going to lose this fight. There is no way one rookie ghost can achieve what even the ancient of all ancients has failed to do(challenge the gatekeeper)
"Emm, why not tell Jack about it first"
She suggested and it made sense.
"Ok, you go, I don't want him seeing you...he might freak out"
Favour bought the idea and took off.
"Jack, Jack"
He sprang up immediately, obviously startled...he hissed the next minute when he noticed it was Julie.
"Oh come on, in my bedroom too? Are you my wife or something?"
She ignored his abash words and went straight to the point.
"Jack, Siera can see me"
He paused and took a while to act pensive, before he questioned.
"Is that suppose to mean something?"
She sighed and calmed her nerves before she continued.
"Jack, it means she can somehow harm me"
Jack laughed now.
"Harm you? Julie you are a ghost...how can a human harm a ghost?"
He asked, prayerfully wishing she say the word, so he could use it to ward her off...
"I don't know ok, I am kinda new at all this, it's the gate keeper that is aiding her"
"Who is the gatekeeper?"
Julie felt she couldn't start another sermon in trying to explain...
"Don't bother, go back to sleep, I would think of something"
He gladly tucked his pillows, but just before he laid his head to sleep, Julie asked
"Can I lie on the bed too?"
She shut her eyes to take his spurned reply, but he surprised her when he said.
"Feel free, I am stuck with you anyway"
***
"It's today vero, he dies today"
Siera whispered to vero.
"I can't have Julie interrupting my plans"
Vero was still shivering at the voodoo storyline.
"Wait, explain how you saw her again?"
Vero requested.
"It was the old woman I saw the other day nah, I told you before... She touched my eyes and told me Julie was trying to stop my plans, at first I laughed it off because I was certain I murdered the bastard myself... But when I heard its her ghost...I became attentive...you see this whip?"
Siera brought out an horse whip.
"The woman said it can be used to ward her off"
Vero swallowed a lump of saliva.
"So we are fighting a ghost now?"
She was still in doubt.
"Vero I saw her, I saw Julie, she was eavesdropping on us...I am not crazy, I know what I am saying"
Vero nodded, she acted like she believed every word Siera said, she didn't want trouble.
"I have been patient because Jack is my cousin but I..."
"Wait, wait, hold on, you mean Jack is your cousin? And you been sleeping with him? Jesus Christ!"
Vero had to act on Siera's revelation...she couldn't believe her ears.
"What? I'm not the first person to have sex with a relative...grow up girl"
Siera wave it off and went on to reveal how she would carry out her murder scheme.
***
It was Saturday, a work free day, Jack watched as Julie took care of the house chores, moving objects without touching them.
"Hmm, watching you do this eh, It's giving me the chill, I wanna be a ghost too oh"
He teased and got Julie laughing.
"It's easy na, lemme just strangle you, case solved"
"Biko no oh, I was joking!"
He quickly replied when she came at him.
The next minute she frowned, his first thought was he had done something wrong..
"What? What did I do?"
He questioned with his hands to help with the demonstration...
"Nothing, it's Siera, she is coming..."
She took her steps backwards and hid behind the passage door.
"She must not know you can see me"
She instructed just before Siera entered with a bottle or Eva wine.
"Hello baby!"
She squealed and hugged him.
Flashes of light beamed on Julie's memory, instantly her subconsciousness revealed how she was killed.
She gasped...Siera had poisoned the Eva wine she drank that night. It the type of poison that shuts your system down slowly, one that you won't feel a thing till you are off the land of the living.
And she was sure this wasn't a coincidence, it was the same drink she poured out for Jack...the same drink Jack was about to gulp down his throat.
She yelled from her hiding place.
"Jack noooo!"

Day 6/7

"What?"
Julie blinked several times, trying to think if what she heard wasn't some loose figment of her imaginations.
"But I didn't show myself to her, how is that possible?"
Favour was not saying anything and it only infuriated her.
"Are you telling me or you were just pulling my legs?"
She fumed in anger...she had the urge to rend favour apart for feeding her curious mind.
"Julie, you are messing with the living, these are repercussions you should expect"
Favour didn't make perfect sense...and Julie didn't get her point.
"What do you mean I am messing with the living? What is the point of my mission in the first place? Hello? It's meant to mess with the living!"
Favour was about to say something to counter her point but she wasn't ready to hear anymore stories, what she wanted to hear was quite different.
"What or who is responsible for this, why can Siera see me?"
Favour sighed and took another minute to voice it out.
"It's Bernice, the gatekeeper"
Julie went mad in wrath...she tapped her middle finger subconsciously and requested in the most calm tone she could manage at that moment.
"Ok, take me to her"
"Julie you..."
"Take me to her!!"
Julie's wrath went Intense, she oozed of dark smoke and caused a whirlwind that blew down a tree. Favour had taken her to a beach...it didn't take minutes before people scattered around, running for their dear lives.
"Ok ok...will you calm down!"
Favour screamed and took her straight to stand before the gatekeeper... She was wise not to spend another sec, the moment she dropped Julie she took off even before Bernice let down her whip.
"Julie..."
"Why are you messing with my mission?"
Julie's anger got her bold now, she didn't care what power Bernice had that might be of harm to her.
"Your mission, can you remind me what your mission is again...I kinda lost track of it"
Julie couldn't tell where Bernice was heading to, but she replied anyway.
"To make Jack fall in love with me..."
"Good, good...I remember, so what have you been doing?"
The line of anger imprinted on Julie's forehead disappeared. She understood what Bernice was getting at.
"I..I am trying to save is life"
Her reply changed Bernice's expression to a frightening one.
"You don't mess with the fate of humans, if he is meant to die, he will die! It's not your job to save him...that's not the reason you are there"
At first Julie was frightened, but what she heard was totally unreasonable.
"What's the use of loving me when he is going to die?"
Bernice was quick to counter her question.
"It's of no concern of yours...don't mess with his fate"
Julie's initial anger resurfaced!
"Wait! You are just going to allow that bastard that murdered me and took everything I had, you are going to just let her murder Jack too? When you can do something about it?"
Julie wasn't getting the point Bernice was trying to put to her.
"You don't get me Julie, do you? We don't mess with the Fate of humans! Are you daft or something...? Even if I have all the powers in the world, I would do nothing!"
Julie was devastated but she wasn't relenting on her will to save him still.
"Well that's your choice... I would save him, even if it means giving up my life as a ghost"
Julie was actually expecting the gatekeeper to let down her whip and probably charge at her. But Bernice simply laughed and got serious the next moment.
"I can't wipe you of existence until after 30days, because a deal has been signed with the universe on Joan's sacrifice... That doesn't mean I would allow you go on with your stubborn will...I would aid your enemies to overpower you Julie, choose wisely..."
Julie wasn't buying Bernice's threat. She turned to go but felt the need to throw the ball at Bernice's court... And so she turned and smiled to the corner of her lips, with a gesture and a proud talk.
"Alright Bernice, game on"

Chapter 10
Day 5

Jack still tried to sleep and figure if all he had been through for the past 24hours was just a dream. He was sure of what he saw, but at least, there is no harm in trying.
And so he slept and woke up the next morning with his eyes still deem and weary.
He cleared his throat and called in a whisper to confirm.
"Julie?"
She didn't hesitate to answer.
"Am here"
She appeared by the door.
"Oh great, so it's real"
"What?"
"Don't worry"
He got out of bed and headed into the bathroom. He needed to be sure if he still had privacy.
"Julie?"
"Yes?"
She was taking an impatient stroll round the room. Time is what she does not have. And to put it to Jack was now a necessity.
"Since when did you come around?"
"Emm, for 3days now"
He was quiet and she wondered why he asked.
"You...you know I've had my bath...did you? Emm, you know what, forget it"
He was going to let it go but she helped him out
"Yes I did, like I'm doing now"
She announced her presence in the bathroom.
"What the hell! Out!"
He grabbed his towel and covered up.
"Chill Jack, what's there that I've not seen before and hurry up, we have work to do"
He wanted to explain that it was unnatural to have a ghost seeing the very important part of his human body, but he felt she might grow angry and strike him with a strange disease, he has watched lots of such happen in Nigerian movies.
"Jack, you have an inheritance, and I think it's huge"
She started as he prepared for work.
"So if you're saying I have an inheritance, you mean my parents...are not my real parents, because I was the bread winner of the house"
He pointed out and got his clothes on.
"Probably, but the thing is, Siera knows, and the only way we can get this info, is thru the same Siera"
He was in his car now, he made sure he was out of the compound before he replied.
"So how do we get the info from her, I can't just go and ask her, or linger around. The girl is a devil, she'll suspect my moves the moment I make it"
Julie was comfortably seated at the passengers.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of that part, what I need you to do is destroy that document that has your finger print"
Jack was held by a traffic light, he was unaware of the cab beside him, with the driver and passengers staring at him talking to the unforseen. Making gestures and talking signs.
"Bros, who you dey talk too?"
The driver brought down his windscreen and called out.
Jack was about to lie, but he noticed all eyes from that cab on him.
"Ok Julie, they think I'm mad"
He whispered and offered a feigned smile.
"Ignore them"
The traffic light blinked green and he was so glad for that. He zoomed and got the chance to reply.
"Julie, we have to go low on this talking thing. Please, somebody should not come and think that I'm running mad"
She scoffed at it, he was taking the issue at hand with levity, she wouldn't sway anyway. Good thing is, it was a way to trail her attempt on love, down the drain. He was never going to love her, there was no point trying. Instead of coming back, she would use him to have her revenge on Siera.
"Ok, I'll be at my office, Siera's office...and maybe I'll get a clue somehow"
She was off and it somehow pleased him.
Although the thought of the supposed inheritance never gave way for another thought to come in...
Julie met Siera in a good position to reveal just how important Jack was.
"He is proving smart"
She said to Vero, Julie just got in, and she was eager to hear more.
"We can trick him to placing his thumbprint on anything. He won't even know, that's why we we have technology Siera. All we have to do his have him touch something"
Siera's eyes brightened at the idea, she stood up and roared.
"You are the best Vero"
But the next moment she thought of something else.
"Have we ever thought if this would work? Cos I can't have Jack as my boss in this company"
Boss? Boss? That one hit Julie, was Jack somehow connected to Prada designers?
"Here is what we'll do"
Julie felt cheated when Siera whispered to Vero's ear. Why would she do that? What was so important that she had to whisper.
She drew closer and closer till Favour came from nowhere to pull her from them.
"Favour!"
Favour didn't hesitate, she took Julie with her and appeared at some place far.
"What was that for? I was going to get an important info and you blew it!"
Favour scoffed at her words.
"Or I just saved your ghost life"
"What do you mean?"
Julie got confused. Favour took a while to get Julie curious before she asked.
"What if I tell you that Siera can see and hear you...

Chapter 9
Day 3/4

Julie completely understood how he felt, like who wants to be tormented by a ghost? Although she wanted to help him secure his life and whatever inheritance he had in store, but for now, he doesn't understand. She watched him sit on bare tiles, questioning God."God what have I done? Why is this happening to me, ok I wished her dead but I really didn't want her dead...why is she tormenting my life now?"
He was completely ignoring her and crying to God. For a moment there she had to laugh.
"Are you serious?"
She had to question him.
He looked to her with red, tearful eyes.
He discovered she was still around. His cry went intense
"God she is still here ooo"
Julie couldn't bear, she burst into laughter.
"Jack just calm down, I am stuck with you whether you like it or not"
She allowed her words sink into his subconscious mind before she continued.
"Don't worry, it's just for a few days, I would let you be, for now, I said earlier, your life is in danger, we have to work together, unless you want to be a ghost like me"
He was quiet now, he sniffed in and started to sit on his cushion, the suddenly realise that even God had decided to let this ghost hang around him.
"So Jack, what do you say?"
He looked up to see her close to him, he was still a little shaky but he composed himself, and with a low tone he muttered.
"You are the reason my mother died, you locked me up for days,and made me lose my contract, you called me trash...now I should work with your ghost? You expect me to believe you"
She stood up and felt his words sting her. His head was still bowed, he dare not look to her face.
"Jack listen, I am sorry for all that, but..."
"Sorry? Just sorry?"
He was becoming rational.
"Listen Jack, it's in the past, Siera is out to kill you, don't you get?"
An uncomfortable silence gained access and stood in between them, and Julie was going to speak up when she perceived Siera approaching the house.
"Listen, I can permit you to tell Frank about me, but don't you dare tell Siera"
She disappeared before he understood the scene, the next minute Siera's voice rang from outside.
"Baby!"
He rushed and opened up, hugged her tight and quickly brought her in.
"I have something important to tell you"
He froze for a minute and tried to see if Julie was anywhere visible. Well, she sat at the dinning waiting for him to try and spit it out.
"What is it? You don't look settled"
"Yes yes...it's...it's..."
"It's what?"
Jack discovered he couldn't breathe the words out. He pushed to his limits until Siera grew fed up.
"You know what? Just forget it"
"No no, hold on, it's...it's..."
Julie held his tongue from spitting the words out.
"Jack please, Just let it go, tell me about it later"
She beckoned in haste and pushed with a cover question.
"Have you eaten something?"
Before he replied she quickly chipped in with the real reason she came around.
"Emm, baby, remember that document that carried your thumbprint"
Jack grew suspicious immediately, but was smart not to show it.
"Which document? I can't really remember"
He replied her and started towards the bedroom like he wanted to help find it.
Julie was glad he didn't reveal it. She followed to the bedroom just in case he changes his mind.
"What do you want to use it for?"
He stylishly asked while he searched.
"Oh yeah, I want to open and account for you where I can chip in little packages"
She winked at him, hoping he would fall for it. He didn't, but was smart to act like he did.
"Wow, thanks baby..."
He hugged her tight and kissed her. Julie simply rolled her eyes in disgust.
"But why my thumbprint? What is my signature for?"
He chipped in a nervous laugh before he continued
"I mean, my signature is not for fancy or is it?"
She came prepared, she knew he would ask a question like that.
"Yeah I know, but I don't want a situation where I would always call you to come to sign in some confidential documents used in preparing your special account, so your thumbprint is better, it would be scanned and used on all the documents"
He wanted to remind her that a signature can be scanned and used too but he thought it wise to agree to her suggestion, so she wouldn't notice he had his suspicions.
"You know what baby, I would settle down and look for it, when I get it, I would bring it to you"
Siera knew he wasn't going to be true to that, but before she made a protest, her phone rang and demanded her presence back at work.
She ended the call and pecked him on his lips.
"Alright baby, I gotta bounce, duty calls"
He was certain she was gone before he called out.
"Julie? Julie?"
She was right behind him, and scaring the daylight out of him was her plan.
"I'm here"
She startled his skin from his muscles.
"Jesus!!"
He yelled and jumped to almost touch the ceilings.
She burst out laughing.
"Oh it's funny right? Please don't ever do that again"
He beckoned amidst panting.
"So you called me"
She reminded him while she sat, crossed her leg and waited for him to state the obvious.
"Siera is up to something"
He said what she wanted, but it wasn't complete.
"And?"
"And as much as this sounds, like it's abnormal, not humanly possible..."
She rolled her eyes and interrupted him.
"Jack? And?"
"Ok I believe you, she is up to something"
She smiled now.
"So we work together to discover this right? Are you in?"
She needed his consent first.
"Yeah, am in"

Day 2/3

Julie could see as he shook from head to his toes, to the extent the dinning table began to vibrate.
"Jack, please calm down"
"Ok, I'm down..I mean am calm now"
He muttered but his body system betrayed his lies.
"Jack you're still shaking"
She pointed out.
"Oh, Am i?"
He replied as soon as she dropped her words.
"So how did you get in here? Like how...how did you appear from nowhere?"
He asked, praying so hard that she don't respond with what the dreadful part of his mind whispered.
"Simple logic Jack. I am dead"
That was the word he feared she might say.
His system doubled the fright and he shivered even more.
"You...you are...you are dead?"
He swallowed hard and broke out in hot sweat.
"So am not dreaming, am seeing your ghost?"
She nodded to his question and stood up.
"Jack just calm down, I've been around for sometime now. Who do you think put your messy house in order? Oh and who cooked the rice you're eating now? I did dummy"
Instantly the delicious rice turned sour in his tummy. The thought of eating from a ghost made him nausea. He threw up.
"Ewww...come on Jack, put yourself together. You are a man"
She was getting tired of his timidity. Although she understood what he was going thru, she was perfectly sure that if she was in his shoes, she would not just pee on her pants, but would be thrown into comma for approximately 3years.
"Jack..."
She paused, she felt telling him straight to his face that he has to fall in love with her in less than 30days, was way too embarrassing. She literally had that as a second thought now. Now she has to make sure he doesn't end up dead like her.
"Yea..? But Ju...Julie before you continue, I didn't kill you did i?"
"No you didn't"
"Then why did you choose to torment me"
"Jack for the love of God I am not tormenting you"
He paused when she held her head in frustration. He instantly felt he was talking too much. His next thought was she might decide to strike him with a strange disease or something.
"Jack, it's normal to talk to me"
He chuckled in fright.
"Yea...of course, talking to a ghost is completely normal"
She shot him a stern look and he quickly apologized.
"I'm sorry"
"Jack, Siera is not who you think she is...she had me murdered. And I'm pretty sure she wants to do same to you too"
He was quiet, and she couldn't tell if he believed her.
"She came around to the house, looking for a document that held your finger print"
She didn't know if going towards him was wise, but she had to check if he was still a part of the living.
"Jack?"
"Can you give me time to process the fact that I'm not going mad?"
He requested and was careful in being polite.
She hissed and made him believe she had gone when she went invisible.
"Jesus"
He muttered as he stood up. She attempted to help when he almost lost balance but decided and retraced her steps.
He looked to the time, it was past 8pm. Quickly he snatched his car keys and hurried to Frank's apartment.
"Frank, I'm going mad"
He blurted out the moment Frank opened up.
"Jeez bro, you are shivering"
"My brother, how I was able to drive here, is a miracle"
He took off his jacket and sat on bare tiles, panting heavily.
"Ok what's up?"
Frank questioned now, when Jack refused to share a glass of wine with him.
"I saw her..."
"Who?"
"Ju...Julie"
Frank eyes went wide, he drop his glass of strong wine and took time to adjust before he asked.
"You found her?"
Jack frowned at his question.
He replied in whisper.
"Her ghost. She is dead"
Frank paused for a minute and took another look at him before he questioned with a concerned look.
"Bro, I think you need a psychiatrist"
Frank didn't believe him and it only drove him mad.
"You think I just made this up? I saw her man! She talked to me, we talked for more than 2minutes"
He was sweating profusely, with his eyes protruding in fear.
"Ok calm down, calm down...tomorrow we would see the doctor"
Frank advised.
"What are you saying Frank!"
"I am saying ghosts don't exist brother, after death is judgement! No ghost bro, it must be malaria or something disturbing your brain. I insist we see the doctor"
Jack held his head in frustration, Frank was the only pillar he had left. Now even his safe place, wasn't safe.
"You don't believe me?"
He questioned again, hoping Frank would rethink"
"Jack just relax, we would see a doctor..."
"Don't tell me that rubbish! I am perfectly fine! and I know what I saw. You know what, forget it. I am out of here!"
Jack Interjected and started towards the door.
"Jack?"
He paid a deaf ear, but just by the door he remembered his house was off limits. What if she appears to choke him at night. The thought sent shivers down his spine.
"You know what? I'll crash here tonight"
He turned and ignored as Frank laughed and assured him its just as a result of malaria.
The next day he was out before Frank heard the cock crew. Straight to his pastor's office.. There is nothing God can't do.
He rushed in and poured out his plight to Pastor Dayo.
"It's a familiar spirit brother Jack, kneel and let's pray"
The prayer was intense. One that prompted pastor Dayo to remove his big coat to rain the heavens down to earth.
Suddenly he got that confidence, Julie was surely finished, with this kind of prayers, he was certain she had been dissolved to dust, never to plague his life again.
With confidence he entered his apartment and to God be the glory, the first person to welcome him was Julie.
"Welcome home Jack"
He burst into tears.
"Oh my God, God why...."

Chapter 7

Day 2



Jack was safely placed on bed and watched till Julie was sure he had a pulse. She sat with her face buried in her palms. Indeed making him see her so suddenly was a bad idea, she understood now, why favour questioned her plans.
"Maybe I shouldn't reveal myself to him again"

She finally blurted out, staring at his unclad body.

"You would have to, he has to believe what he saw his not some trance or dream, he has to believe it's you"

Julie sighed, she thought of what she had put him thru, and realised she had been so cruel.

"I don't even know if he would be able to forgive me for what I did to him, how can he love me then?"

Favour stood up and was going to go, but never failed to encourage her a bit.

"Don't give up before you start. There is still time, use the best of it"
"Where are you going?"

Julie had to ask. What would she do without favour?.

"Bernice is on my tail, I can't be in one place for too long, but I'll always check on you ok?"

Before Julie could raise an objection, favour was out of sight. She stared at Jack now, she couldn't believe she would someday be the guardian angel of the supposed man she saw as trash. 
Jack woke up the next morning, feeling paranoid and suspicious of his environment. He held his head to massage and tame the slight headache he felt.

"What was that...?"

He questioned, not that he was expecting an answer from anyone.

He picked himself from bed and determined to get to work. He was done being shy and scared to face his colleagues, after loosing to his rival. It's been a week since he last appeared at work. He was certainly going to come up with a convincing story, as to why he exceeded the 2weeks leave given him for the burial of his mother.

Julie thought it wise to let him be that morning, she heated the food she prepared and brought his attention to the food when she made a sound with the pot.

He stopped on his way to the dinning and took a peep. He wasn't satisfied with just sightseeing, he started into the kitchen, perceiving the aroma of the Jollof rice. He sniffed and opened the pot. He wasn't aware when the word

"Wow" escaped his mouth.

Julie smiled at first, but the moment he mentioned

"Siera, you are a blessing"

Her smiles dried up to a frown, one that she felt like slapping a tooth off his mouth.

She followed to the advert company, where he worked. She was a minute there when she had a strong urge to go back to his house and wait.

She appeared back to the house and could hear noises from his bedroom.

It was Siera! What was she doing? Perspiration stood on her face, she was in distress, looking for something.

"Where is it...? Come on where is it...? Where is your fucking thumbprint?"

It became clear, it seemed there was a document that had Jack's thumbprints. Julie's guess was she wanted it scanned or something.

Julie wasn't ready to let her find it. So she took to the main door and made a knock sound.

Siera froze in fear, and after couple of minutes to muster courage she went to the door to discover it was no one. She was about to go on with her search when the knock came again and went on for three more times, till she hurried out of the house.

"What does she need his thumbprint for? Why would she come behind his back to get it?"

She questioned, Jack was not safe with Siera. Was she planning to murder Jack too?

She followed Siera to the office. Siera had made a few changes to her office. Her flowers vase had been changed. All her pictures had being replaced.

Vero entered, she didn't act formal when she approached Siera 

"You found it?"

She questioned in a whisper. The frustrated expression Siera wore was enough to make Vero conclude in a distressed sigh.

"You didn't"

Siera nodded now, in affirmation.

"So what do we do? Jack his smart, there is no way he would thumbprint on a document that you would keep, he doesn't trust you"

Vero had to be sincere in the part where she stated that Jack never had trust for Siera.

"Oh trust me nah. I would get his thumbprint, and we would get the wealth, all of it. All his entitlement. We would be gods in this city vero, gods..."

Vero eyes glimmered for Joy but wasn't given the opportunity to thrill when a knock on the door interrupted them.

"ssshhh, go on, get back to work"

Siera instructed as vero let in the fashion designer who obstructed them.

Julie was no fool, she could read the scene. Jack had an inheritance he doesn't know of. And with their description, it was something huge.

She spent the rest of the day monitoring Siera, but she did nothing else to give her an hint on what she planned to do next.

She realized that Jack has to see her, and know she exists, else he looses everything, just like she lost hers, and she knew it would finally end up in his murder.

He was having dinner in his dinning room when she sat at the far end of the table and called out to him.

"Jack?"

He froze, his spoon fell from his grip as he shook in fright.

"Ju...lie"

"Yes it's me, and for the love of God, don't faint again"

Chapter 6

Day 1



Julie blinked several times to understand the scene. Siera had her murdered, took her house and properties, took her place in the company and now she is obstructing her only chance to come back to earth...seriously, this lady planned her doom from the ancestors.
She whisked and attempted to smash Siera but simply went thru.

"Ah, seriously? Bernice!"

She lashed in frustration and caused the book shelf, holding tons of clothes design to shake.

"What's that...?"

Jack was first to notice. Siera concentrated on the pleasure she was deriving from his lips so she hardly noticed.

"Uuhhh...come on"

She brought his attention back to her lips.

"Its probably a rat or something"

She concluded.

"Chai, Siera me rat? Siera you call me rat...? God punish you... Idiot"

Julie lamented in pain.

"Rat? A rat in your office. I mean this spacious and exquisite office. A rat can find its way here?"

Jack wasn't convinced.

"Honey can we just change the topic. What about a date tonight?"

Julie watched them in hurt. She realised it was 

Impossible to fufill this mission of hers. At least she gave it a shot.

"Where are you going to?"

A ghost called from behind her.

"Who is this one now?"

She questioned, she was really tired of the recent surprises she has been experiencing.

"I have been following you around"

Julie held her waist now.

"Ahn ahn, why? Are you like guardian angel or what? Or do ghost still have guardian angels?"

Favour didn't mind her rude response.

"Joan sent me, even before she approached you. She knew you would want to give this up"

Favour explained now.

"Oh, Joan..."

Julie didn't sound so interested.

"Joan wanted you to avenge her right?"

Julie nodded and felt guilty for forgetting about Joan's request.

"Did you even ask who?"

Julie realised she didn't even ask Joan who she wanted to have vengeance on.

"No I didn't..."
"Well, it's the same woman that murdered you"

Julie gasped at Favour's reply...How has she been friends with Siera for four years without her instincts giving her an hint on how evil Siera was.

"Are you serious?"
"Yeah, the girl is a bitch...so make sure you succeed and get back at her"

Julie scoffed at that one now. She was making no progress.

"Favour right?"

Favour gave her the go ahead when she nodded in agreement.

"Jack can't see me, can't hear me, can't feel me...so there is no..."

Favour hissed at her words, cutting her shot with a questionable expression.

"Who said you can't do all that?"
"Well one thing is really certain, sister favour...I can't do it..."

Julie had to remind Favour of the issue at hand.

"Its easy, but are you sure you want him to see you?"

Favour's question made Julie laugh, although it wasn't funny.

"Yes nah, he has to see me"
"Hmmm, are you sure?"

Julie got serious now.

"Ok are you helping me or not"

She replied hoarsely.

"Hmm, am just saying oh...I will help you, let's wait till he gets home"
Jack knew Siera would finally catch up with his plans someday, but he wanted to make sure he had half of what he wants before she finds out that he is just after her money.

He took her on a date; she paid the bills and he was making plans to take her to his apartment that night to finish it up.

Nothing must stop that fact.

"Babe, it looks like this two are gonna end up on the same bed"

Julie was first shocked when Favour addressed her with the word "babe"

"Seriously, do ghosts use the word 'babe' you got swaggs here too?"

Favour scoffed at her questioned and indicated with her fingers.

"I said your guy is going to bang this night and you are talking shit"

Julie realised now.

"He is what?"
"Don't you see he trying to get her drunk?"

Favour pointed out and got Julie thinking.

"Ok what do we do?"

She asked impatiently.

"Why are looking at me?"

Favour had to ask when Julie focused on her for answers. 

"Well you are the guardian angel...You know...the follower, the experienced ghost, me I don't know anything, so what do we do?"

Favour agreed with her Julie's point.

She caused the electricity power of the fast food plaza, where they had dinner to trip off.

"Wow, you are talented girl"

Julie commented

Siera took her pause and started out of the fast food plaza, after an hour without positive headways to get power back.

"How about my place tonight?

She was going to respond when favour made her high heels wedge cut loose.

"You know what? Lets end up in your apartment next time. Today is not my lucky day"

she concluded and called for her pilot.

Jack kicked an empty tin of malt in anger.

"Dammit"

Siera was long gone. He wanted to stop by a bar but favour caused the same electrical fault that he got frustrated and went home.

"Are you ready?"

Favour questioned now when Jack was safely home. He was taking a shower and Julie insisted she wanted him to see him when he was out of the bathroom.

"Just concentrate and feel like a human again, that's it, you can only make people see you when you feel like a human around them"

Julie got her point. She wanted to peep into the bathroom to see what Siera was going to enjoy that night, but Favour's eyes on her made her stay put.

"Can he see me?"

Julie had to ask when Jack froze the moment he was out from the bathroom.

"I dunno, I am sure he can"

Julie looked back to favour and then to Jack.

"Jack? Then why isn't he moving?"

Jack stood still for more than 15minutes before he blinked.

"Ahn ahn, why am I not waking up from this dream?"

His question made Julie realised that he was in shock.

"Jack, it's me, Julie"

He laughed, and Julie was scared for him the next minute.

"Favour is he running mad?"
"I dunno oh, it looks like it oh"
"Jack it's me, Julie"

She continued.

"Julie?"

Julie smiled now, thank goodness, he recognized her. Or so she thought. Jack lost balance. He fainted.

Chapter 5



Day 1.


Bernice didn't give Julie the chance to express herself in distress and shock. She varnished to thin air, leaving Julie so clueless as she watched Jack in his drunk state.

"Oh my God, what do I do? Where do I start from?"

She was totally confused. She approached him and picked up his drink to see what he had gulp down his throat.

He raised his head and startled Julie who still held the glass cup.

"Hmmm, my cup is flying..."

He pointed out, trying to examine the cup. 

Julie gently placed the cup back to the Table and attempted to give him space when he called out.

"Julie?"

She froze and slowly turned.

"Julie is that you?"

Wait, he could see her? She stopped and walked up to him, waving her hands before his drunk eyes.

"Why are you waving your hands at me you bitch?"

She withdrew in shock.

"You...you can see me?"

She paused, he wasn't staring in her direction. She wondered what was wrong, it took her another 1minute to realize he wanted to throw up.

He fell to sleep immediately, after he had soiled his sitting room with beer.

She thought of the last time she had a good night rest. Now she couldn't sleep, ghost don't sleep, she'd figured out.

She could move things now, so she moved him to his bedroom. It was a two bedroom flat, a perfect fit for a bachelor.

She looked to his kitchen. It was in a mess.

Though she was classy and all that, she mustn't forget that she grew in a poor home, and there alot of stuffs she can do.

She tidied up the kitchen, his room and virtually the whole house. Next she search to see if he had foodstuffs. Gracefully, he had a few. She quickly made jollof rice. She was careful not to make much noise. Good thing is that, he was drunk. So she was certain he would not hear a thing.

The next morning Jack woke up late. She wondered if he didn't have a place to go. She thought wrong.

"Jesus!"

He sprang up and dashed into the bathroom.

He didn't notice the room she put in order at first. And she could only mutter

"Ungrateful bastard"

He was out from the bathroom when he began to take note. His pace became less, till he finally stopped to observe his room.

"Hmm, strange"

He walked to the next room, to the sitting room. Julie followed with smiles on her face.

"What's going on here? maybe she came around yesterday"

He concluded and Julie couldn't believe what she heard.

Wait, who is the "she" he referred to? His girlfriend or what? She fumed in anger again. She wouldn't let anyone ruin her mission. He didn't even notice the food she prepared for him.

"Hey Jack"

He didn't respond and she only fumed the more.

"Jack!"

He wasn't responding. With an hiss she marched to him and attempted to smack him but her hands simply went thru him.

"Oh my God"

She gasped and tried touching something else. With ease she touched the cushion and the centre table. She was greatly relieved. And then she whisked to Jack again, but still, her hands went thru.

"Jack!"

She realised he couldn't hear, see nor feel her. She fell to her knees. This was Bernice's doing, to make sure she failed.

He simply went thru her, out of the house to the his car he parked outside.

She ran after him. There must be something she can do to make him hear her. She couldn't understand, just yester night he could actually see her. She remembered the stories she had back when she was still human. About the drunk able to see ghosts. So it was Indeed true.

But she can't follow him around unnoticed. She moved to pick the newspaper that laid on the car rest, so he could notice her presence. But then, she thought of the accident he would encounter. And her mission would end even before it started.

His phone rang, and she couldn't clearly she who was calling. He saved it as "baby"
"Hey babe"

He called out.

"Where are you nah...?"

The female voice rang from the other side. The voice sounded familiar but she was too angry to pick the voice.

She tried to snatch the phone but her hands went thru him.

"Ahhhhh!"She exclaimed in hurt and confusion. "How can I make him love me like this? What kind of prize is this... Bernice?"

Her calls and endless pleas without a reply, showed that she was on her own on this one.

He got to Prada designers and alighted from the car. Now she was keen on knowing who he really came to see in her company. She followed, till he got to her office and slowly pushed the door. Her eyes went wide, It was Siera on her seat. Her anger was not compared to the shock she felt next, when Siera hurried and hugged Jack. She kissed him and muttered.

"Oh baby, I've missed you"

Chapter 4

The gatekeeper was excited to have another failure in this supposed quest. She knew the exact test to make sure Julie never gets a second chance. And she was excited to drop the bomb. But first, the sacrifice must be made.
"Joan, are you ready?"
Joan nodded and took front to meet with the gatekeeper.
"What's this...? Where are you taking her to...? Joan where are you going to na...?"
Joan hushed her and turned to the gatekeeper.
"Get on with it and stop making me nervous, and Julie don't fail me..."
The gate keeper thrilled and let down her whip. The next minute Joan was reduced to dust and left Julie speechless.
"What...what happened...? What did you do to her?"
She questioned, trying to conclude that all she just witnessed was some trick.
"To send a soul back, a soul has to be sacrificed, there has to be balance. A soul, for a soul"
The gatekeeper explained but Julie had not gotten her point yet.
"Wait, you mean Joan is...."
"Joan has been wiped off existence, even her memories with the living has been wiped out...she knew the prize she has to pay"
"So I can go back to the world now...?"
The laughter that spurned her words was one that irritated her.
"Not so fast, there is a prize to pay"
Julie didn't understand what she was getting at.
"But Joan just..."
"What Joan did, is the sacrifice, what you are going to do, is the prize"
Julie was about to probably utter an objection when the gatekeeper took her hands and appeared right in front of Jack wilshere's balcony, where he drank himself to stupor.
"You remember this man...?"
Julie hissed with disgust.
"Yeah, he is a fraud, can you imagine, he wanted to trick me to feature in a cheap advert. Just so he can earn millions and then pay me some trash, I don't do stuffs like that...I mean, I am worth much more"
The gatekeeper nodded in disgust. She could still sense Julie's pride. And she was certain it was one of the reason she would fail, and then she would eventually kill two birds with one stone. She got Joan and in 30days time, she'd get Julie.
"Yes, yes...of course. But do you know that because of your actions, he lost his mother...and his contract?"
Julie eyes went wide, so he was telling the truth, she just realised.
"Let's listen to what he has to say"
Julie had noticed he was muttering something, but he was inaudible.
They went closer and she could hear her name.
"Julie, you bitch, I should have killed you myself"
She withdrew immediately with a gasp.
"Of all the people you've hurt, Jack is the person you hurt the most. And trust me, he hates you even more than the person who murdered you"
Julie was getting an hint of what her prize might be, maybe she would apologize to him or something.
"Julie, in 30days time, your body would be found by a group of wild hunters, and once it is found, you have no business with the land of the living anymore"
Julie was getting impatient.
"Ok can we skip to the part where I pay the prize? Do I have to give my eyes out or what...?"
The gatekeeper was not surprised at her abash response.
"Simple Julie, you would have to fall in love with Jack within 30days..."
When Julie actually thought she just heard the worst, the gatekeeper had to top it up with the impossible.
"And you have to make him fall for you too"
It was like the moment stopped. And for the next 5minutes she remained quiet, searching for a possible answer. Suddenly she realised the impossibility of the supposed prize.
"Oh my God... It's impossible, the guy hates me! What kind of prize is this? Or is this another trick...?"
She laughed nervously, which didn't go well with the gatekeeper.
She noticed the stern reaction of the gatekeeper, it slowly dawned on her, she was going to fail.
"Please ma, can you rethink this? He hates me...for a normal person, it takes more than a month to even get to like a person... It rarely happens to love a person within a month. And ma this is a man that wants me dead, he hates me"
The gatekeeper simply watched as Julie ranted with her plight, pleading for another way around this prize. Of course she knew this was impossible, and it was just as she planned.
"I guess you are not ready..."
She let down her whip to reduce Julie to dust.
"Ok ok, I am...I'll give it a shot"
"Alright, go on"
"What's your name?"
It was a totally absurd question to ask, but she wanted to know.
"Hmmm, I'm Bernice... I wish you good luck"
Bernice, the gatekeeper dropped and turned to go.
"Wait! Where are you going? I would need a body to win his heart. How can I approach him as a ghost, how can he love what he can't see, it's impossible"
Bernice stopped to laugh again, Julie rolled her eyes and waited till she was done.
"So? Can I have my body back now...?"
"There is no body to take young lady. Jack wilshere must love the ghost of his worst enemy, within 30days"

Chapter 3



It was still confusing; it was like a dream to Julie.
But karma constantly smirk the doom to her face. She was no longer a part of the living, she was dead.

"How did I die?"

She asked in her sober mood.

"I should ask you"

Joan threw the words back at her..
"I can't remember, all I know was, I slept and didn't wake up"

Joan only laughed and Julie found it irritating.

"Why are your laughing? What's funny?"
"Julie, you are a ghost now. The first thing you are supposed to remember is who killed you and how you died"
"Hello? I can't remember"

Julie replied in a rather calm tone. She just realised that her present state had taken her pride, her whole existence. She was nothing.

Joan could sense she had given up already.

"Hey, you are going to remember, but right now. We need to figure a way for you to go back. Your body has not been spotted yet. Once it's spotted, it's over"

Julie tried to touch a tree like Joan, but her hands simply went thru.

"I can't even touch anything"

She said.

"I've lost everything"

She continued and tried to cry, but even tears was not possible.

"Listen, you can touch objects, you just have to learn, there a lot of things you can do as a ghost"

Julie was not getting her point and she was getting fed up.

"Listen, if you are not ready to fight back then am outta here"
"Wait!"

Julie suddenly realized the opportunity she was fumbling with and called out to Joan.

"I'm sorry, what do I do?"

Joan had to build that rage and desperation in Julie, One that would help in the risk they were about to take.

"Follow me"

Joan took her and teleported to a vendor.

"Go on, read"

Julie could see clearly on the cover page.

She had been declared missing.

"Come"

They went to her mansion. It had been occupied by Siera already.

"That's my house"

She pointed out.

"Well, it's no longer yours... Infact, it belongs to the woman who murdered you"

Julie's rage was building up.

"And not only that, she has taken your position already as head Fashion designer...follow me"

They went straight to Prada designers and stopped at a spot where her personal Assistant settled with a peer group.

"I just pray she never gets found"

One of the girls in the group said in a whisper.

"That's for you. Me I pray she is even dead. Like rotten in hell!"

Vero, Her own personal assistant broke the last resort of tranquility she had.

She growled in wrath but Joan was quick to hold her down.

"Leave me alone!"

She struggled.

"What do you intend doing?"
"Kill them all!"
"Of course you can do that, but how do you get your throne back. If you kill them now, some other persons would take your position. And you remain dead"

Joan made perfect sense so she calmed down. 

"But we are not leaving these backstabber to go Scot free"

Joan chipped in and made Vero twist her ankle.

Vero screamed in pain and Julie was a little satisfied at the sight.

"Come on, let's get out of here"
Julie had to learn some new ghost tricks that would be useful to her. Although she had no idea of what was in store for her, or what prize she would have to pay. She didn't care, she was willing to do anything that would get her back to earth.

"Who are those"

She pointed out at a group of dark ghosts lurking in the dark"

Joan didn't give a satisfactory answer.

Her reply was

"Run!"

Before Julie's eyes, the gate keeper emerge and slew the dark ghosts, every last one of them.

"Am coming for you Julie!"

She could hear the voice in echoes as she teleported alongside Joan.

"I'm trying to have this feeling..."

Joan was quick to butt in.

"You are a ghost, you have no feelings, you are not human. Dammit Julie when will you realise that? I have no time for all this shit"
"Sorry sorry...so how do I get back?"

Julie had to ask now, she felt fully ready.

Joan paused and examined the rookie ghost that stood before her, she wondered if Julie could actually get the Job done. 

"It's simple, we would have to meet with the gate keeper"

Julie froze in fright, she had to ask again.

"You said what?"
"You heard me"
"Joan, that woman is the same voodoo that wants to throw me into the...what did you call it? The darkness of torment, right...?"

Joan sighed, she also thought the idea to be extremely risky, but it was all they had. They had to give it a short.

"Julie, the moment I joined the world, the moment I saw you. I knew it was you. You alone can achieve what thousands have tried an failed. You are not the only person the gate keeper has given another chance. But they all failed. I believe you would scape thru, cos you have got something you are fighting for, right?"

Julie got the thrill and wiped the fright out.

"Let's do this"

Joan took a deep sigh and took Julie by her hand. And the next minute they stood face to face with the gate keeper. Surprisingly the gatekeeper didn't look surprised at their arrival. She looked prepared for the encounter.

"I've been expecting you two. And I know exactly what you want. Julie's body has not been found and I can grant her permission to go back to the world"

Joan didn't know why the gatekeeper had to over emphasise on what she was capable of.

Joan was actually interested in the prize to pay.

"But are you willing to pay the prize, and are you willing to make the sacrifice?"

Though Julie could not tell what the sacrifice might be, she didn't hesitate to jump at the question.

"Yes, yes..."

She looked back to Joan to see if she spoke in tune with her. Joan gave her a nod of affirmation.

And then she turned back to the gatekeeper.

"Yes we are, we would pay the prize, whatever it is, we would pay..."

Chapter 2



Jack read the news; he had tried to sell some of his treasured belongings to pay for his mother's leukemia chemotherapy. But he was rather too late now. She passed on and tagged him an orphan, being the only son of both his deceased parents.

Frank had persuaded him to a bar to drink his sorrows away. It was there he read the newspaper of his enemy declared missing.

His eyes was a little blur but he was certain he read well.

He chuckled, but he wasn't satisfied. He had wanted to make her pay, he had wanted to cause her so much pain. But since karma has decided to take laws into its hand, well, he couldn't help but smile at the sight of it.

"What's funny? She is a fellow human, where is your conscience?"

Frank words were full of spite.

"What? I hope she rots in hell. That bitch is the reason I lost my contract, the reason I lost my mother"
"Why? Because she refused your advert proposal? Come on Jack, you can't blame that on her...there are other models that would have made the cut"

Jack anger kindled that he rose to fling off the table that carried the bottles of beer.

An uproar arosed and  with haste the waitress and bartender approached with words welled up in their mouth.

"Hold on, I'll pay for the damages"

Frank's words were satisfactory and the waitress went on to calculate the loss.

"Frank, I begged that bitch. She even locked me up! I could not attend my presentation!"

Frank waited till he was done ranting in pain.

"Ok Jack, I get you, let's get back home"

****

Julie ignored the voice calling her from behind. She lingered and followed the men on mask as they threw her body into the boot of an dark SUV and drove to a ship in wait.

She couldn't believe this, they took her body to an abandoned island and threw her out like some rag.

This was well planned. Who would have done this to her?

Is she dead? Why is it impossible for them to hear her? What was really happening?

She was still trying to figure these questions.

She followed back in the ship, back to sea shore where Siera was waiting...

Wait, Siera...? What was she doing here?

"It's done madam"

One of the men in the mask said as he revealed his identity when he pulled off his mask. It was her pilot, the one she fired not up to 24hours ago.

"Good job David"

Siera commended and handed him a bundle of cash.

"Oh my God! Siera you bastard. Siera!"

Julie charged at Siera in her usual wrath but Siera simply went thru her, she was just like an air with an invisible smoke.

She fell to her knees. She tried to cry but even tears were not surfacing.

"Oh my God, I'm...I'm de...dead?"

The woman called out again.

"Julie, welcome to the other side"

Julie took a good look now. She stood up and approached the woman.

"Who are you?"

The woman had no eyes, her face was blank and it somehow scared Julie.

"I am the gate keeper, it's high time you stop your roaming about and join the others"

Julie took a few steps backwards with a shake of her head in disagreement.

"I am not dead"
"Yes you are"
"I am not!!"
"Face it Julie, you are dead"
"I order you to leave my presence!"

The gate keeper couldn't help but laugh now.

"Oh poor Julie, over here, you have no say, your fame and Authority died with you. Here you are nothing"

She took another good look at Julie and then revealed her face to frighten her even more.

"Ma please, I can't be dead, please do something"

The gate keeper showed no sign of remorse to her pleas. She was about to get at Julie and send her straight to the darkness that wield lost souls when a Savior appeared and with a quick flash, stole Julie from the gatekeeper.

"Who are you?"

Julie asked the moment she discovered she had been rescued to a safe location.

"Me? I'm Joan, a lost soul. Just like you"

Joan had a large scar on her forehead. It was obvious that she was in haste.

Julie swallowed a lump of saliva.

"What's that on your forehead, and what is the meaning of a lost soul?"

Joan touched her forehead to explain.

"This, is how I was murdered, with an axe"

Julie nodded but had not gotten the full explanation.

"We are lost cos we were killed before our appointed time"
"Ok, who was that woman? And why is she after me?"
"Simple, you were evil on earth and you hurt too many people, your punishment is darkness of torment, I saved you because we are in the same shoes, I lived the life of a cultist, I killed people, and I got killed by my best friend. The gate keeper has been after me for months now..."

Julie had to interrupt.

"Wait wait wait, I don't understand. What going on? I'm not dead. I just slept last night and...."
"Face it rookie, you are D-E-A-D...dead..."

Joan held Julie to stand on her feet.

"And now I helped you cos you still have a slim chance of going back to the world. But you must promise me one thing"

Julie became so attentive, going back was not even an option to her, it was a necessity.

Joan continued

"I can't go back, because my body has long been spotted. I would explain everything, but if you succeed. I would need you to avenge me, do we have a deal?"

Though Julie had not fully understood what she meant, but whatever it was, it was good news, one she was willing to do anything for

"Ok, deal"

She replied

Chapter 1
The other side

Julie Sanders was at it again. She tapped her fingers in wrath, gesticulating at the time. The unfortunate fellow to have a taste of her wrath was her new employed pilot. She preferred to call him a driver, but her profession and courtesy demands she addressed him as a pilot.
She cupped her cheek and sighed in exasperation. His phone was off and God knows it was good news for him.
Finally, he arrived. He took a little more time to adjust his bold tie, he needed to appear well before his mistress, else he risk the chance of getting sacked.
"Madam I..."
"What is the time you peasant?"
He was taken aback and tried to steal a quick glimpse of the wall clock ticking behind him.
"Oh, I'm so sorry madam, my wristwatch is bad, I didn't notice"
She smiled, that was strange. And he knew it was trouble.
"Hand over the keys"
"But..."
"Now!"
He handed it over and she made it official.
"Mr John or whatever you are called, you are fired!"
And there went her 24th pilot.
She took the dark limousine and drove herself to the red carpet event.
She was the star of the show so she had to appear her best.
It took her another 30minutes to reapply her make up. She had the announcement requesting her presence but who cares? They would wait. She had an award to collect, so she had to look her best.
And finally, when she was satisfied with looks, she confidently alighted from the car and got the attention of the media and the massive crowd instantly.
She was the best in her modelling career; and this was the 7th award she was taking home for the past 7years. Well of course there has been other awards, but the best model in Africa was the award she treasured most. And yes she would trample on anyone to get it back to back, every year.
"And so, this year award of miss Africa goes to Julie Sanders, again"
Julie read an abash meaning to the last words of the host. He didn't look too happy that he was handling the award to the same person he did for over 7years. But she didn't care. She deserves it. And she would have what she deserves.
She took good shots with her extravagant and susceptible gold gown.
her fame traveled far and wide. Company's and organizations pleaded to use her for an advert, media houses struggled to get an autograph and an interview.
"I am the best, I am the desire of every one...always remember that"
She shot at a model who dare stepped into her office without knocking.
Vero couldn't understand how her offense warranted Julie to remind her of her fame and achievements, but she dare not oppose.
"Am sorry madam"
"What do you need?"
Vero swallowed a lump of saliva, she contemplated on the message she was about to deliver. She was the personal assistant (PA) to Julie at Prada designers, where Julie was made head Fashion designer.
"Madam, it's Jack wilshere from Silver advertising company, he is here again"
Julie long hiss and the frown that followed made Vero retrace her steps and attempted to hurry out of the office when Julie called.
"On a second thought, send the idiot in"
Jack was one man that has constantly pester her to feature in his advert. It was a big step to get his project approved and win the contract worth millions; he just had to get her, his opponent was not one to toy with. But, he met a bulwark.
"Madam good..."
Julie right hand in the air, pointing out a stop signal made him halt.
"Jack, whatever. What's your fucking problem, I'm not your class, I certainly can't be featured by a cheap ass like you...I mean look at the way you are dressed dude"
Jack had to re check himself. He was smartly dressed on his wing tip suit with his portfolio to tag with his silver wristwatch.
"Madam, if you would just give me a chance, my mother really needs the money to have an operation"
Jack didn't care if he was too open about his real reason why he needed the money. Because, right now, there was no other option.
Julie thought she was almost caught of guard when she felt a little sympathy. But then, she concluded he wanted to take advantage of her human sympathy.
"Get out you fraud. You think you can deceive me? I can't believe you would stoop so low to have a taste of what you are not worth"
Her words sank deep into him. It replayed in a way that he couldn't bare.
"Julie...
He suddenly called her by name
"Soon, your throne would be taken from you. You would be in my shoes, and you would know what it means to lose someone. You would feel my pain"
Julie couldn't believe this man. She got so infuriated.
"Vero! Get me security"
She made sure Jack was locked up for his insult in a police cell for a couple of days. He missed his advert presentation and lost the contract.
Julie only released him when his sister came pleading to her office.
It was too much to bear. She had hurt too many people, although she didn't see it that way.
"Why did you lock him up? You are such a bitch"
Siera lashed at her.
Siera was her only friend who was never scared of her. And Julie loved her so much, she could sacrifice anything for siera.
"What? He insulted me"
"But you said it yourself, he had his mother in an hospital"
"Who cares Siera? Who helped me when my parents both died of internal bleeding after the accident? Who helped when my only brother died of starvation! No one, so why should I help him?"
Siera paused when Julie went in rage again and threw her glass of wine at the wall.
"Is that why you fired your new pilot?"
Another issue that made Julie scoffed.
"Siera the guy is a zombie, I can't work with him"
"Julie, that is the 24th pilot I stress my ass to get for you"
Julie attempted to defend herself again but Julie was quick to continue.
"Julie, you can let the pain of the past to affect your present, don't you see? You are hurting everyone around you because of your past, please Julie, I will continue to tell you the truth. Change your ways"
Julie was quiet as she backed Siera to face the tainted glass window from her apartment.
Siera was hoping she got to Julie this time, but as expected, Julie threw it back at her face.
"Get out"
"Julie...
"Get out now!..."
Although she acted like Siera words didn't get to her, she couldn't stop her words from reverberating in her mind.
And then she slept that night, totally ignorant of what had occurred in darkness. She opened her eyes the next morning and saw her body surrounded by hoodlums.
"What the hell...?"
She ran to them and screamed on top of her voice. But, they didn't hear her. Infact, they went thru her. Her eyes went wide when she realised the worst has happened.
A woman with a white cloak called from behind her.
"Julie, welcome to the other side"

Life Of A Celebrity *Part 2*
Episode 20

It was the most shocking news she had ever heard in her entire life! She slapped him, so hard that he screamed
"Aaarrgghh! what was that for?"

"Sorry sorry. you said?"
Her heart was taking its time to bump against her chest..
"am sorry Eve..it's the truth..Nkoli is your father..am sorry"
She broke out in hot sweat..perspiration appeared on her forehead..No this isn't possible..there must be an explanation somehow..
"I don't believe you.."
She hurried and breezed past Simon and Sonia before he tried to convince her again..
"What's wrong with her?"
Sonia asked as she picked her bag..she had to head back to Nkoli now or he would begin to suspect..Bruno reappeared still trying to fix his jaw..he had never fathomed Eve could slap that hard..
"What did you do to her?"
Simon questioned and gave him that look..not that he ever liked the guy..and Yvonne had told him how Bruno had stuck an arrow to Eve's thigh 3years back..he felt like nailing one to Bruno's teeth now..
"Nothing man.."
Bruno took a step backwards to avoid Simon just in case he decides to lash at him
"She better be OK"
He rushed upstairs to meet her door locked up
"Eve? Eve open up"
Eve was trying so hard to resist the tears..It isn't true, Yvonne is yet to confirm this..she can't believe the words of Bruno..She stood up and paced round the room..why was all these happening to her..once she feels she has got one problem covered, another pops up..
"You will not share a tear Eve, you are strong..you will get thru this..that bastard can never be your father" unfortunately Yvonne was out of the state..she quickly called and made it sound urgent so Yvonne could leave her business meeting..
She kept reassuring herself as she quickly cleaned every tear that escaped from her eyes..When she was certain she is now calm..she opened the door to let Simon in..
Just as he entered he blurted out, with folded arms she watched him
"Eve what's going on? you don't tell me anything..you wait till it's too late..I love you Eve..let me be there for you..I can help..I can.."
Ok he was talking to much now so she decided to shoot a bullet first
"Am pregnant"
His words got stuck..it took him another 30 seconds to digest what she said before he realised and screamed for joy
"Your are what?! Preg? Pregnant! wow!"
He picked her up and danced round the room, jumped on the bed, picked her up again and continued dancing..She let him get so engulfed in his new found Joy before she now decided to burst his bubbles
"And Nkoli is my father"
His Joy died and faded within miliseconds..instantly the heat became too much, he had to remove his suit, unlocked his tie..unbutton his shirt before he took the time to stammer
"Wh..What? Your Father?..How is that possible"
She waved it off
"I don't believe it..not until mum comes"
Simon had to seat..this one is really huge..it was unbelievable..
"Who told you this?"
He asked but His phone rang and interrupted Eve from giving a reply..it was Charles..They had a scene to act
"Lemme just tell him you are not in a good mood to act"
Simon suggested but Eve snatched the phone
"Charles we would there in a minute"
she dropped the call and turned to Simon..
"Am strong, there is nothing I can't handle"

SPOTLIGHT (THE MOVIE)
"Sir?"
Sara had to question again, maybe she didn't hear well
Phil had to stylishly pinch his father..
"Dad?"
She was about to excuse herself quietly when he called her back
"Come here small girl! Your father is my bosom friend!"
He drew her near and tapped her head..Whoa what a relief..God knows she wanted to tell him the hair cost 50k to make so he should handle with care..
"Emm I have to go..your sisters are coming over..they would stay with you for a week..those ladies are terror to me..just handle them for a week"
His father concluded and hurried off, refusing Phil to see him off
"Your father is emm...weird"
She didn't know if it sounded like a compliment..He wasn't responding to her..he sat with his hands on his jaw
"What's wrong? did I say something wrong"
He shook his head
"Then what is It?"
he sighed, stood up and paced
"My sisters"
She could believe this guy..how can his sisters be his problem..
"They are your sisters nah..or are they that bad?"
She was speaking for terrors she didnt even know of
"Hmm..you have no idea..and thank your stars my father didn't eat the disaster you made in the kitchen.. and wow you just threw it away like that..smart move girl..smart move"
Jehovah God..he knew..she stammered and tried to diversify a means to think of a perfect cover story. but nothing was coming up..Jane was the expert in this one
"Don't worry I can teach you..don't tell me you plan to get married like that"
She swallowed hard and nodded.. he had that mischievous smile so she had to ask
"And am guessing you would need something in return"
Of course the one thing he fears the most
"Yea..just help me look after my sisters..they are a triplet..young and harmless..just for a week that's all"
She thought about it for a while before she agreed..They are kids as he explained.. so it's not a big deal
Minutes later his phone rang..he picked and James baritone voice announced from the other end
"Phil the photos you sent were great! you've made the cut bro..soon you would be in the spotlight!"

REALITY: Yvonne had arrived home..Simon had eyes on Eve 24/7 he cannot afford to lose her, especially now that she is carrying his babies..
Yvonne saw the look on Eve's face when she asked the question she least expected..Eve shut her eyes and prayed so hard
"Please mum..just tell me it's not true..it's not true right?"

"Am sorry but it's true Eve"
Now the shock became reality..it was too much to bear, she passed out and woke up close to an hour later, with Yvonne sitting beside her..Simon standing with folded arms
"I was Nkoil's maid..I had no parents. they died in a car accident.. Nkoli raped me one night when I refused his advances..weeks later I discovered I was pregnant.. When I told him about it he tried to get me killed but I was able to escape..I was mad..and I saw the pregnancy as a curse..I suffered Eve..and one night, inside a terrible rain..you were born..you were so innocent..my heart melted..I hurried and gave you to a nun In an orphanage and made her promise that she would always remind you of me..
Along my street hustle I met Peter..he was this sweet loving man..he flew me out of the country and we got married..he sent me to school, things was going pretty well until he went bankrupt , so we both returned to his father for help, only for me to bump into Nkoli..and straightway Peter chose his father over me..I kept your identity a secret from Nkoli..so he wouldn't try to kill you..but he found out and that's the major reason he wants you dead Eve..he can be that heartless to try all means possible to kill his own daughter..Nkoli is the real devil..of course I can crush him but I wouldn't because he his your father and I don't know you would react if you later find out that I killed your own father. am so sorry Eve "
Simon was impressed when Eve brought Yvonne to her arms and assured her she was OK
Simon couldn't believe Nkoli was actually trying to kill Eve because he found out she was his daughter.. like who does that?
Sonia called in haste..
"Eve, he his after Me..He found out..he wants to kill me..help me!"
Eve heard gunshots before the call ended..She sprang up and turned to Yvonne
"How about I give you the permission and let's slay some old friends.. together"
She extended her hand and Yvonne took it
"Gladly"
Her reply was just satisfactory..
Nkoli and Peter where underground with his hitmen..he was making calls to make sure Sonia did not see the next morning when they had gunshots..
All his hitmen fell from different angles..bullets raged the warehouse..the Windows were shut..doors locked..assassins killed one after the other yet no one was in sight..
Peter broke out in tears.. shaking to his legs
"Dad I don't want to die!"
Nkoli still kept hold of himself..stepping backwards, trying to reach for his gun..The lights went off..Peter couldnt take it.. he fainted
Minutes later it went on with Eve and Yvonne..armed with hitmen..Eve took the front.. with a baton in her hands..
Nkoli eyes widened..he rushed to get his gun as Eve approached him..With speed he fired at her but the gun was empty..courtesy Sonia..
she stopped face to face with him
"The time has finally come..Father"

The shock that overwhelmed Eve made her vision blur immediately..she could actually hear her heart beat slowed down and throbbed like a talking drum for a minute there.. she stood up and was about to exclaim before the Doctor dropped another bombshell
"And with the scan results..its a twin"
Her Brian exclaimed from within her
"what?! Tw..A Tw..Twin?!"
She held her head and found where to sit..
"What's wrong? you are supposed to be happy about this Eve"
The look she shot at him made him realise..he was just about to quickly excuse himself but Eve was quick to call out to him
"Hey. no one knows about this"
She warned and sat back to think when he left..She held her tummy..
"I'm pregnant"
She smiled..then frowned..then laughed..ok no she cried..later she cleaned off the tears and in the midst of her tears she laughed again..she was clearly confused and didn't know what to feel..
"God why now? Why now..?"
Simon rushed in when she wasn't coming out. Doctor just told him it was stress and she needed rest..he met her sniffing
"Are you OK?"
he quickly rushed to her..
She felt like slapping him..he is the cause of all these..why would he get her pregnant with just one night sex..? is he mad?..She felt like at least slapping a tooth of his mouth..
"I'm fine"
she bluntly replied and picked her bag..straight to the car..she didn't even wait for him, she drove his own car and left him at the hospital stranded..
"Chineke me! for my own car again..what's her problem self. what is it with women?"
Luckily he had transport fare, he didn't want to bother his bodyguard

SPOTLIGHT(THE MOVIE): Sara was shaking to her legs when she heard Philip's request
"Please serve the food while me and my Dad wait in the dinning room..I will introduce you there"
Jehovah God..this is not good..this is not so good..she nodded and swallowed hard..
She hurried to the kitchen and tasted the food again
"Arrrgghhh"
So horrible.. she called her friend Jane..
"What do I do?"
she asked in haste
"Omo na die you dey so o"
Jane mocked in laughter
"Not funny Jane..you are not helping!"

"ok ok..just pour the pot of food on the floor, shout on the top of your voice and tell the guy that all the food fell from your grip mistakenly.. simple"
This Jane eh. she always has a way of saving her from trouble..Big Big trouble..
"Thanks Hun..you the best!"
She ended the call and did just as Jane said..and wow it worked perfectly
"Aww..what to we do now..its all a waste"
She feigned like she was so worried
"Don't worry about it. we would just go out to eat together then..come let's meet my Dad"
Oh thank you God..she promised to attend services thru out that week..God is indeed wonderful
"What's your name young woman"
She observed the man was in his late 60's..And yet he still had that handsome qualities..
"Am Sara Adeogun sir"
His initial smiles faded
"Stella what?"
Sara paused to looked at Phil and with a signal she asked if she had said anything wrong..
"Ad..Adeogun"
She didn't know if she should quickly change the name
"mumu, you've said your real name already"
Her mind reminded her
"Your father's name is Thompson?"
She nodded..
"Leave this house immediately.. now!"

REALITY: Sonia hurried to meet Eve the next day..Eve just aborted their plans yesterday..what was the issue?
"Sonia am...
Eve brought her close so she could whisper it to her ear
" am pregnant"

"Jesu olugbala!"
Sonia screamed
"sssshhhh"
Eve brought her to sit back and looked around to check if anyone was spying
"And it's a twin"
another bombshell
"Ewoh!!"
Sonia jumped up again..
"My sister you are finished o"
Eve held her head..she was indeed finished..
"You and Simon had sex?"
Sonia asked in a whisper..
Eve nodded in response..
"It was just once oh..by mistake..that guy is a Devil"
Sonia laughed her ribs out
"Thank God my Joshua is not like that"
Joshua, the guy she has been dating secretly when she thought she was married to Simon..she never loved him in the first place..
"What do we do now..He knows? what about your mom?"
Eve was about to Answer but Simon walked in..she quickly changed the answer..to a more pressing matter
"Yes yes..I know their location now.."
Sonia frowned until she got the signal that Simon was around..
Just as he entered Bruno followed..he had arrived the country the last night, just as Eve instructed.. he had a part to play to..
"Bruno?"
Simon was a little startled..The guy had grown seriously handsome..he couldnt help but feel threatened..what if Eve now begin to crush on this guy handsome features again..this one that Eve is not giving him the best attitude, does it mean that she has been secretly seeing Bruno? or still had a crush on him..
he thought about this while still holding Bruno's hand for an handshake. he was tightening his grip now
"Emm..Simon. my hand"

"Oh oh. sorry. you're welcome."
Eve walked up to him and hugged him..Simon coughed.. Sonia only smiled, watching the drama
"Come there is a lot we need to map out"
she took him aside and filled him in
"I don't want them arrested..I want them abducted..I want to torture and make them beg for death"
Bruno sighed..ok should he just keep quiet and let Eve go on with something she might regret later..He decided to let her know one bitter truth anyway
"Emm Eve..I dont know how to tell you this..it's not my secret to tell. but I can't watch you do this to yourself..Nkoli is..am sorry but Nkoli is Your biological father"

Episode 18

Simon sighed as he watched both ladies threaten to the end of the world..he was really getting tired of all these..would this struggle ever end? he wondered if there would ever be a time where he would have a quiet place with Eve..where they could just be together without all these battles and interference
Sonia finally left after promising hell on Earth..He walked up to Eve and hugged her from behind.. she shut her eyes and held his arms, at that moment he felt like her rock.. she raised her hand and touched his cheek
"Eve..When would all these be over?"
She sighed and held his arms
"Very soon"
He wasn't convinced.. with all these he wasn't sure it was close at all
"But Eve why not just let all these go and let's travel abroad..would we ever have a quiet place..free from all these troubles..? I miss you Eve..I miss the real Eve"
he said praying so hard the flow continues and she doesn't suddenly remember they had sex last week
"We will Simon..real soon"
maybe she wasn't getting him..he released his arms and turned her to face him
"With Nkoli and Peter..? now Sonia has joined the crew"
She smiled and touched his cheek..she was going to make him understand now
"Actually Sonia is on our side"
He frowned.. or maybe he didn't hear well..but its the same Sonia that threatened the fire of Hell just minutes ago..
"I have been working with her since she escaped jail.. Nkoli had her abducted trying to force her to do his wills..but she simply volunteered to be their spy..fortunately she is my spy"
Simon laughed at first and hugged her tight..damn! this woman was way too smart
"Then why were you both bickering at each other?"
He brought her to sit
"Nkoli is no longer satisfied with her spying from a distance.. he wants her to push me to the edge so I would go angry and blurt out my plans for them.."
she paused and smiled when he urged her to go on
"When I held her arm..I placed a tracker in her jacket..she would lead me straight to them"
Simon laughed and hugged her again. but then a thought popped up
"And don't you dare go on your own this time"
He said and made her promise..she said what he wanted.. but she had an agenda of her own

SPOTLIGHT (THE MOVIE):
"so this is my humble abode.. luckily my father would be coming over today..so I would introduce you"
Phil said when they were safely inside his house
"Hmm not bad"
it was a bungalow..well furnished with air conditioners at every corner..just the way she likes it..
"lemme quickly prepare something to eat"
wait he could cook? she felt cheated..the only thing she knows how to prepare is noodles and tea..she had no mother to teach her .but that wasn't an excuse. the maids did all the cooking but she never paid attention.. she just believes its a waist of time
"You can cook?"
she asked when he attempted to rush into the kitchen..he nodded before he read her expression to notice she can't cook
"What?! you can't cook?"
her facial expression had betrayed her.
"What? me..no oo..I can cook"
He hummed rhythmically, removed his apron and handed it over to her
"You cook then..I will get the studio ready..it's just down this hall..when you're true you can come join me"
He left her to her mystery.. she held her head. why did she say yes..she picked a frying pan..no it should be a pot..she could remember anytime she goes to the kitchen to get a glass of water she would just glance at what they were cooking and hurry off..she checked if he had noodles in his cupboard.. he had none..
"God what do I do..he wants me to prepare jollof rice"
She remembered she had a smart phone so she quickly browsed online and went straight to business..messing up the whole kitchen in the process..When she was certain she had prepared a disaster, she joined him in the studio
"Change this black background to white..I brought the cloths I would wear for the shoot"
He quickly did as she said..she brought out her canvas..gold jacket..white Jean..and white markers..
"Gold and white.. mixed with a white background.. perfect"
she explained and brightened her face for the shoot..
he took the pictures.. he couldn't help but imagine how pretty she was..God! she was photogenic..the real deal..he knew it the very day he saw her..she was the ticket to his success in this career.
He had the gate open...
"That would be my dad..come and see him quickly"
oh my God! she completely forgot he mentioned earlier that his father would pay a visit..She was more than scared. not for meeting his father but for the disaster she prepared in the kitchen..what if his father decides to eat that poison?

REALITY: Nkoli and received an anonymous mail from Eve which read
"I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE..AM COMING TO GET YOU"
his hand shivered..why was this Eve tormenting him for God's sake.. Or does he just instruct Sonia to kill her. if Sonia does he wouldnt be blamed for her murder. the lady just has to die so he can have peace
Simon walked into Eve's room to see her with her usual map..this time cancelling some areas
"why are you cancelling those ones"
she answered without turning to look at him
"They've been accomplished"
He sighed and was about to bring up his idea about travelling abroad again but she hushed him
"The reason you still stand there is because I have feelings for you..if I express the anger I have in me..it would crush you along with it. so am taking my time..Don't push me..I will hunt and kill Nkoli and Peter with my bare hands...till the very last drop of my blood"
She received a text from sonia
"ITS ALL READY"
She excused herself but metres away her eyes went dim, she lost balance and fainted.. Simon rushed to her before she fell..luckily no one was around..he quickly rushed her to the hospital..his heart throbbing fast. what was it this time?
Eve opened her eyes to see the doctor examining her
"What is it doctor?"
The doctor broadened with smiles
"Goodnews Eve..you are pregnant"

Episode 17

Simon woke up the next morning to see Eve lying on her side.. she backed him so he couldn't see her face..
After summoning enough courage, he made a move to touch her but she warned
"please don't"
He froze..so she was awake
"is something wrong?"
He asked although he knew the exact problem
"Simon don't beat around the bush, we had sex last night"
She blurted out as a tear fell from her eyes..
His heart missed..God knew he tried his possible best to refuse her..but she wouldn't let him go..was is his fault now?
"I'm sorry Eve"
She sniffed and got up with the bed sheet she used to cover her unclad body
"No one hears about this..and this never happened"
She instructed, picked her clothes and disappeared straight to her home
"She didn't even wait to have her bath"
He held his head..he didn't even know how to face her again..

SPOTLIGHT (THE MOVIE):
"Am sorry but your photos doesn't make the cut Phil.."
Phil has tried to at least qualify and be selected for the next Fashion parade..but once again the studio photos he was asked to submit was declined..with heavy eyes he went over for his normal frustrating lessons with Sara..only this time he wasn't responding to her tantrums..he just taught even when she wasn't listening..
"What's wrong with you..you are longer fun..you are supposed to be 'arrggghhh! Sara! listen..this leads to a patient cardiac arrest..to start an operation you do like this and like this'
he still didn't respond and she wasn't finding it funny
" ok what's up"
he stopped teaching and looked up to her
"Like you are going to help?"
she scoffed and hit him
"ouch!"
she laughed now
"Of course.. anything that would make you scream like that again and again!"
he thought about it for a while before he opened up..
"Lemme see the pictures you took"
she requested and screw thru them with that face of ewww
"seriously this pictures are lame na..just one background. and you want to be a model..really?"
He made that face so she would realise she was actually mocking not helping
"ok ok..I would help.."
he leaped in joy and picked her up.. she found it funny but then he later realised that maybe he had gone too far so he gently let her down till they stood face to face..that awkward moment..he cleared his throat
"so emm..when do we start?"

REALITY: immediately after the movie Eve disappeared again..Yvonne noticed something was up. she asked but they both constantly denied it..
Simon went to that club house again..in search of that Felix..he had no friends and he knew Felix was a big mistake to try. but he just needed someone to talk to
"So what's up..a woman again?"
Felix asked..Simon knew he must find him there..
Simon explained his ordeal..it only just Felix laugh his ribs out
"what's funny?"
Simon asked wondering if there was something he said out of place
"You busted man..why did you do it?"

"I don't know ok..why is everyone blaming me?! she forced me yet am the one taking the blame?"
He blurted out .what is it with women self..he doesn't understand
"ok ok calm down bro..that's women for you..their yes is no..no is yes..yes is yes..no is no..maybe is yes..maybe is no..."
Simon scoffed and interrupted him
"Felix please make sense"

"ok my point is you shouldnt have slept with her..she wasn't herself..She was hurt and at that moment she just wanted something to get her mind off it..not that she wanted to really have sex with you"
Felix explained..
"ok so what do I do?"
Simon was actually hoping for the best advice
"Emm..I don't know"

"Are you serious? you don't know?
Felix nodded to his question..
"so why did you tell me the gravity of my sins if you don't know how I can amend it?"

"come on man women are complicated..there is no way you can fully understand them..what i said is the least I know..how you fix it depends on what's her name again? Eve"
Simon shook his head..This wasn't helping, he was about to ask for at least a guideline when his phone rang. it was Sonia.
he hurried picked the call..what does she want now
"My darling. I know you heard am out of jail"

"So? how does that affect me?"
he had to ask..the last time he checked they were done
"Well am not letting you off the hook so easily Simon..you hurt me for good 3years..and then shove me to the police like i was some thrash..."
he didn't let her finish he ended the call and turned to Felix only to discover the dude was gone with his wallet..
he sighed and hurried to his car..minutes later he received a text.
"am at Eve's house..am going to hurt the woman you love just the way you hurt me"
His heart missed and throbbed faster..he increased speed and zoomed into Eve's mansion..he could see Sonia from afar thru the tainted glass..
"What are you doing here? Sonia?"
He rushed in to meet Sonia sitting comfortably in the sitting room..while Eve sat sipping her favourite wine as usual
"Well am just trying to be friends with Eve"

"Simon let her be. she is trying to tell me how rich and influential her family is..her family has eyes on your company as well that's why she was asked to Marry you.. so she is back to make sure they still get what they wanted"
Eve explained and Sonia made a gesture thanking Eve for saving her the stress to explain..
Simon made another attempt to walk Sonia out but Eve stood up and cleared her throat
"Sonia I appreciate your courage..you see have been preparing for a game of chess..and sadly there has been no trainee to spar with. gladly you are here..so Simon step aside..let the strongest woman rule"
Sonia chuckled and stood up to meet Eve..Simon had no choice than watch the drama
"Eve you be careful cos I..."
Eve grabbed her arm and drew her to meet her red eyes
"Young woman have no idea what you've gotten yourself into..have long waited for who to crush with part of my anger burning inside..how unfortunate you would have be a scape goat"

Episode 16

Yvonne was worried, likewise Simon.. Eve had not shared a tear..When she had told her she lost her family three years back, Eve had cried eventually every night that she got tired of consoling and just let her cry..But now she was blunt..she neither smiled nor uttered a word..Her eyes were pale and dark..Even both her brothers couldn't get to her
Yvonne invited a specialist to check on her..They all rushed with opened ears when he came out
"She is still in shock..she has to let it out and cry..else it can lead to stroke or insanity..she would need someone who is emotionally connected with her to make her cry"
Yvonne immediately turned to Simon..
"What? Me?"
they all nodded
"Please Simon do anything please. help her thru this"
He swallowed hard..where does he start from..though he had feelings for her, they had not gotten to that level of emotional connection that he could make her remorseful and emotional..
She screamed out sometimes.. calling out to madalene
"No mum..no don't die..I will save you..No!"
And then she keeps quiet and assured everyone she is OK..
"Simon we are acting a scene today, or you've forgotten?"
She startled him when she was all dressed up in a dinner gown and a black heels..Simon gave her that look of disbelief.. he was worried
"Simon am ok..get dressed or we would be late"
Simon, Yvonne and both brothers stayed with her in the mansion to watch over her..
Simon called Charles aside and attempted to fill him in so he would be easy on her but she caught him and cleared her throat to announce her presence
"Simon.."

"Ok am sorry am sorry.. but am just worried ok"

SPOTLIGHT (THE MOVIE):
It was indeed a good idea..Thompson her father bought it and excused him
"And what do you want in return?"
Yes, this was the perfect time..he just prayed the man gives in
"She would just help me in my modelling career as well"
Thompson first thought was it will just distract her the more, but after all the convincing grammar from all the inspirational books he had ever read..he finally agreed..
First day in teaching Sara was a total disaster
"I don't understand.. come again"
she said as she chewed her chewing gum so loud in his ears
"Throw that gum away or.."

"Or what?..you call my Dad..I would like to see you try..he'll think you are not capable you know"
Hmm she made sense
"Ok then just try and behave yourself so we can just quickly get..."
she cleared her throat and interrupted him
"You must be really tired..how about a glass of water?"
she suggested..hmm, she is not that bad
"Yes please"
She hurried off and reappeared within seconds and handed him the supposed water
"aaarrrrggghhh..this is..."

"Yea yea It's Vinegar Phil..enjoy!"
she threw the book at him and dialled her friend's number
"Hey! is the party ready?!"
Philip just packed his books and headed off..she laughed till her stomach hurt
"Yea am on my way bae!"
Phil couldn't believe this girl..and he was actually thinking they were becoming friends

REALITY: Peter never stopped pointing fingers at Nkoli
"You should have shot her when we had the chance Dad"
Nkoli turned to look at him..he only just discovered that the signature was actually fake..
"Peter you also had a gun.. why didn't you take the shot"
Peter attempted to speak in his defense but Nkoli still butt in
"The signature is fake..we didn't kill that bastard.. I have a bullet wound..so all we did was all for waste"
It dawn on him now..what a waste of effort
"But we killed her mother"
Peter reminded him looking around him to see if the place would be actually comfortable for them to spend the night
"Yes and now she is after us..you know what she did when she thought we killed her family. now she didn't just hear..she witnessed it. I killed madalene in her arms..imagine what she would do now..Peter did you see the look in her eyes? have never seen her like that before"
Peter was quiet, he was scared though
"So what are you saying now Dad..are you scared now?"
Nkoli tore the documents.. and sat down with his head bowed
"We would figure something out"

Simon was scared for Eve..She now had a map she hanged up in her room..doting and marking..she strapped pins on each side..using a pen to draw out patterns
"Eve what are you doing?"
She turned to see him..
"Am playing a game"

"What game?"
She smiled..and drew him to see
"A game of chess.."

Simon watched her as she wrote both Nkoli and Peter name and placed it on the map..
He walked up to her and picked her up to his car, she was quiet till he brought her to his mansion
"Go and have your bath"
She went on and did as he said while he went on to his keyboard and played..
she heard him from the bathtub..she gently took her steps downwards to see him singing and playing skilfully..
Her walls were crumbling.. she moved closer to him. his voice was touching her..she sat with him and shut her eyes..a tear escaped.. another dropped and another till she burst out in tears..Simon was more than glad..she cried till she fell asleep..He picked her upstairs and gently placed her on the bed..She caught his arms
"Si..Simon please..stay with me"
She drew him near and kissed him
No, he doesnt want take advantage of her..she was hurt, vulnerable and emotional
"Eve..no stop this"
she drew his shirt off and in tears she pleaded..
"Simon please..am broken Simon..heal my heart.."

Episode 15

"Hello?! Anybody here?!"
It was Eve in the lion's den..Nkoli smiled at Peter.. it was indeed a dream come true..so after all the stress they had passed thru trying to kill her, she now comes to them willingly..
"Our Queen is here..go show her in"
Nkoli spoke to one of the hitmen..
She counted her steps taking note of Every little sign of description so could find
"Move, quietly"
she felt the cold lips of a gun touch her spine..cold ran down to her legs..her high heels couldn't carry her shaken legs so he allowed her pull it off
"Well Well Well..what do we have here? It's the Mighty Eve..the untouchable Eve"
She felt irritated and went straight to the point
"Where is family..hand them over and name your price"
It was indeed funny to them as they laughed their ribs out.. Nkoli was now making jest of her
"You know I knew you would show up. but there is one thing you don't understand little one. in here I make the demands..now go on your knees"
She wasn't responding to his order..he collected a gun and slapped her with it..
"I said go on your knees"
He instructed that her foster mom, brother and cousin brother be brought out..she burst out in tears
"Mum? John..Frank.."
Madelene eyes brimmed with tears, she tried to hurry and meet her but Nkoli obstructed as he continuously hit her till she bled out
"No No..Stop! Please I beg you.. please!" she fell on her knees and begged
he stopped and faced her with a gesture of mockery
"Wow wow..so Eve can actually beg"
Peter laughed, he slapped and spat on her..
"Today you would pay for all you did..starting from when you came back"
He slapped her
"And when you took part of my company
he slapped her again
" Oh when you instigated that fool Simon against us"
he slapped her again.. she was bleeding now
"Please let my daughter go"
madelene beckoned weakly..
Nkoli requested for the document he had prepared
'This States all your rightful shares, property and ownership of Celtic films be handed over to me"
Her heart missed
"You know I thought why struggle for spotlight when the bigger fish was just beyond my reach..sign this"
he pointed the gun at madalene
"or she dies first"
Her hesitation made him pulled the trigger and shot madalene on her leg..
"Ahhhhh"
madalene screamed in pain..the bullet sounded in her heart like she was the one that got shot
"The next one goes in her brain Eve!"

"No Eve don't sign that..please not because of me"
madalene beckoned..

Simon was on the road with the police..Ok Eve was drastic in her decision but she wasn't foolish..she knew Simon placed a tracker in her suit when they were acting the movie.. she kept quiet about it till she figured why he did that..now she understood he knew she would want to go after her family herself.. just that she turned it off
"Mum she turned it off..I can't even trace her..how do we lead the police there I don't.."
before he dropped the word the tracker went on..
"It's on..Its on!!"
he started the car and led the police..

Eve knelt with her thigh on her legs so she could reach for her back pocket.. her hands was handcuffed so she longed press a button which instantly dialled Simon..
He picked it and heard
"please I will sign it..please don't kill any of them"
it was a smart phone so he quickly looked for the location
"Quickly we are close!"
Nkoli handed over the document and brought her handcuffed hands to the front so she could sign..she was quick to switch off her phone immediately before anyone noticed she had a phone on her..Nkoli has earlier smashed the one he thought she had
She picked the pen and delayed a little before she signed with a Fake signature. Nkoli should know she wasn't stupid
"Ok I think that's all we would want from you Eve..so it's good bye to the world"
he cracked his gun..it was between life and death and madelene knew this was a sacrifice she had to make..she quickly swung herself to shield Eve as the bullet penetrated thru her spine..
It was like the world stopped..Eve's eyes went wide with shock. her hands were shivering as she touched madalene's blood
"M..Mum?..No No"
Tears was pouring from her eyes..
"Mum..just hold on I will get you to an hospital..hold on please"
she held madalene so tight, she wasn't just crying she was agonizing in pains from her heart..sniffing till her eyes was beyond red
Nkoli found it funny..He laughed and Peter joined
"How pathetic..you know like I said this game is like a game of chess you.."
she interrupted him when she called out for madalene again
"Mum! no..hold on..hold on please.."
she was giving up..John and Frank called to in tears but we're prevented from going close
"Eve..please don't be mad at Yvonne, she did her best and gave us a life any family would wish for..I understand why she did what she did..and I pray you do to..but Eve I want to beg you..if I die here today..do not let these men go unpunished.. promise me"
she shook her head and was about to say something else
"promise me"
with a tearful voice she promised
The cold breeze blew thru madalene and took her breathe from her..she was gone..lifeless in Eve's hand..
Immediately Eve's heart stopped for a moment..her hands were shivering, her tears dried up
Nkoli wasn't finding it funny anymore..he just has to kill this Eve before anything else happens
she interrupted him when she spoke out
"My house is 30minutes from here, The police and Simon took off down here a minute after..they would be here in a minute past 5..I suggest you both run..jail is not a satisfactory punishment for you. all these times I played with you both because i was led to believe my family died. but now I didn't hear..I saw you pull the trigger..I saw you kill my mum..I will hunt you both..Even if I die my soul wouldnt rest either..so like you said this is a game of chess and within 4..3..2..1.."
The police rushed in
"CHECKMATE..Now run.. so I hunt"
Nkoli still tried to gun her down but Simon sent a bullet to his arms..he took to his heels, so did Peter and some few hitmen who escaped death
Simon hurried to Eve..He couldn't recognize her...her eyes were dry and red..he saw Madalene's lifeless body
"oh no"
Yvonne rushed to Eve and hugged her..
"Eve am so sorry"
Eve didn't hug back. it was like part of her died..she kept staring into the open space..
her brain replaying the promise she made..

Thompson was taken aback at her question.. he pondered on what must have prompted her to ask such question all of a sudden after all these years
"In child birth..have told you before"
He said and attempted to hurry off but she called out from behind him
"And what if I tell you I've seen my mum..why did you lie to me?"
His heart missed
"You've seen Hannah?"

Yes! she has got the name..so her mother's name is Hannah?
"Not really sha..but you just told me her name is Hannah"
Thompson sighed..where does he start from
"She left us Sara..after your birth..because I was poor"
Sara wasn't really interested.. the least she wanted right now is a mother to boss her on how to live her life..she is quite alright with her father who is never around to monitor her
"Don't bother father. whoever she is..am sure she an ass.."
Thompson smiled at her words..thank God his daughter thinks she is an ass too..
"Dad have decided to go into modelling"
He stopped halfway.. he opened his mouth but there was no word to talk her out if it yet
"We would talk about this when i get back"

Phil was startled as Sara proved they were siblings when she told the same exact story Hannah had explained.. She had insisted to tag along to the fashion house..although she didn't tell him she now had interest in modelling..
"Not really tho..am your step brother.. your mother isnt my biological mother"
He explained
"Ain't you angry..you know scream..you are taking it too casual"
she shrugged her shoulders..
"How do you want me to take it?"
Phil concentrated on driving..since she wasn't concerned at all

REALITY: They were still acting..and just as they came down from the car Eve was quick to notice a hitman with a pistol hidden in his belt..as he brought it out Eve quickly shouted on top of her voice..
"Simon get down!!"
She pushed him down..the bullet went straight and smashed the camera filming the movie..Everyone scattered to different directions..
"Get in the car!"
Simon made sure Eve was in the car..before he zoomed off
"I told you Simon..something is up.. Where are you going?"
she said breathing heavily
He was quiet for a while before he answered
"Where else? home of course"

"No..Sonia must have assassins there"
Just as she tried convincing him..her phone rang
"I have your mother.. Come alone..or she dies"
It was Sonia..But she didn't want Simon to know about it so she waved it off
"Wrong number"

"Simon stop the car for a minute"
He stopped and she pleaded he comes down..
"The car keys please..I want to drive us to a safe place" He handed the key
"See I placed a tracker in my suit pocket..use your phone to locate me when I put it on"
Before he could ask why she entered the car and was quick to shut the door and zoomed off
He was restless and shouted on the top of his voice..He quickly called up Andrew..
"Sir am quite busy here!"
He could hear gunshots from the background..he called his bodyguard and requested he come with a car and a good gun..
Eve drove as she was directed to the exact dung warehouse..same place Nkoli killed madalene.. as she saw the ware house..pictures of madalene welled up in her mind..She put on the tracker now..Simon had been waiting impatiently..he called the police immediately..
"Sonia?! Come out let's finish this!! let's end this!"
She screamed on top of her voice..she had her gun tuck in her suit..Sonia sighed..the time she wished for as finally arrived
"Where is your hitmen..?"
Eve asked when Sonia came out alone..with her gun..cat-walking towards her..
"Oh they are busy at your house .I didn't abduct your mom..I knew you wouldn't come if I didn't use that as leverage"
Sonia said..
"I know you have a gun hidden in your suit Eve..why don't we handle this woman to woman.."
Sonia suggested and threw her gun aside..Eve smiled and bought the idea...she threw her gun..but she wasn't foolish.. she kept a table knife in her boot..
Sonia charged at her and brought her to the ground, pulling her hair in the process.. Eve retaliated..she kicked Sonia's tummy and pushed her off..Sonia wasn't thru, she threw her fist at Eve but Eve was quick to dodge and caught Sonia's arm, swinging Sonia off her shoulders to fall hard on the floor..Sonia attempted to get up but Eve was quick to get on top her..and pinned her to the ground..with the anger she felt she lashed at her with her fist
"This is for my mother!"
"This is for Simon!"
"This is for your betrayal!"
She kept hitting uncontrollably.. till Sonia bled out..
"Eve stop!"
Simon rushed to her and held her hands..
"Do you want to kill her?"

"Yes!!"
Simon held her and made her stand up..she was distracted now..so Sonia got the chance to hit her hard on her tummy..She screamed and winced in pain..instantly she bled out..
"No..my babies"
Her eyes widened..
"No!"
Simon held her before she lost balance.. Sonia wasn't true..she rushed to her gun and just as she attempted to pull the trigger..a policeman sent a bullet straight thru her chest..she fell down lifeless
Eve was bleeding profusely.. Simon was restless..he blamed himself for getting her distracted.. he rushed her to his car and drove to the nearest hospital
"Simon...Simon I can't lose my babies..I can't lose them..I can't..drive faster!"

Moon Walker

Chapter 8
"He is really nice Sara, he helped in treating Jade"

Katherine made sure Marcus didn't notice when she tightened her face and gave Sara that look.

Tori and greeted and shook hands with him. Sara remained by the staircase, contemplating on whom to adhere too, her mum or her instincts.

Finally she obliges and walked towards him. The canvan bracelet was on her so she couldn't use her powers to read him.

"Hi Sara, you are beautiful"

He flattered, but it didn't sound comfortable.

"Why not have time with the girls while I prepare dinner"

Katherine suggested and signaled the girls to behave.

"Mum likes him, she is blushing all over"

Tori whispered as they followed to the Garden.

"He's evil Tori, I've met him before"

Tori's heart missed a bit.

"He is after me, he wants me dead"

 Those were the words Tori couldn't withstand. She bounced to him.

"Hey mister"

Marcus could hear them; his hands were tucked in his pocket. The smiles he offered were of his mischievous act.

He froze time, leaving just Sara and himself in motion.

Sara was shivering to her legs. She tried to remove the bracelet but it was glued to her hand.

"Sara, I know you must think I am the evil one"

He said as he paced round her.

"Arthur would come for me"

She shot back, trying to encourage herself. Although she wasn't too sure about that, judging from the way their last encounter ended.

He laughed his eyes out.

"Arthur? Arthur? I am sure he is creptones meal by now"

He gave the news. Although Sara didn't know what he meant by creptones, but she was sure it wasn't something good.

"What I've you done to him? If you I've have done anything I'll..."
"You'll do what?!!!"

His thunderous voice and blue eyes made Sara lost balance and fell in fear.

"Listen Sara, I might seem evil but I can assure you that Arthur is the demon"

She was quiet. He can say all he wants but she isn't a fool to believe whatever he says.

"Sara, who are your parents…? Who are you?"

She didn't have to answer, he helped with the reply.

"You are moon elite, an alien. You think you are human? Or you think you have a family?"

His words were gaining weight in her ears.

"Yes Sara, your parents were moon elites, like how could you be so dumb? You think a human could have the powers you have? Or you think Arthur is out for your good. He wants to use you to killJust like he killed your parents!"

Sara held her mouth. She tried convincing herself to pay a deaf ear but it wasn't working..

*****

Arthur was at the gates of death. His heart had stopped and the creptones had returned in a great number. They dug their fingers in his flesh and made way for their fangs.

Gareth lamented when he rushed in to see the whole club infested with creptones, the club was thrown into a war zone. He hurried to the room Arthur laid.

"Arthur!"

The creptones glared at him for obstructing their dinner.  He quickly shapes shifted to one of them and maneuvered to place the antidote in Arthur's mouth and made sure it went down his throat. A risk he had to take, because the creptones spotted him and charged to make sure they had every bit of his flesh.

"Arthur!!"

He cried out. Yet, Arthur remained lifeless.

He had crossed to the other side. And there he stood at the gates when Sara called.

"Arthur, I need you. Marcus, he is gonna kill me Arthur. Arthur!!"

The inn began to vibrate from the foundation.

The creptones pursed their meal when they discovered the flesh they had taken from Arthur was rekindling.

Blue fire flies erupted and encompassed the whole inn.

"The moon Walker..."

They muttered as they withdrew and got ready to attack.

Every other creptone feeding on the aliens they had been able to subdue left their meal and hurried to the room Arthur lay.

He tightened his grip on the bed as the fire flies covered him up.

For a minute it all died down. The fire flies disappeared, Arthur remained still, and the creptones where about to return to their meal when Arthur shone bright blue, with a scream. His eyes went dark as he rose and floated on air. With speed he crushed every creptone with his fist, less than 2seconds.

The last unfortunate creptone winced in pain as Arthur held it with his mind, crushing every bone in its body, limb by limb.

"Arthur"

Gareth muttered when Arthur reached for him.

"Am guessing it's rather too late for me"

He chuckled in pain.

"No Gareth, hold on. I can still save you"

Gareth knew it was all over. He held Arthur's arm and pleaded with his last strength.

"Protect the priestess, save us all"

The cool breeze blew on his face, he joined the other side.

Arthur let out a tear. And with dark eyes he sped out.

*******

Marcus noticed the canvan bracelet on Sara's hand. He smiled to himself. Killing her now would be rather too easy. But then, Gaza wanted her alive. He walked to her and grabbed her hand

"So I see Arthur has given you the bracelet. The last item he needs to harness your powers. You fool! He wants your powers for himself"

She shook her head in disbelief.

"Arthur is not like that, you are forgetting that I am a seer Marcus. I dont need to read you to know your intentions, and if you've hurt Arthur in anyway, I would feed your flesh to the dogs.. It's a promise"

Marcus was preparing the portal to transport her to the moon. But her words gained weight in his ears. He let the words create the rage he needed.

He sped to her and grabbed her by her neck.

"You peasant"

He muttered thru his clenched teeth as he made her choke.

Thunder struck. The time Marcus stopped lost his hold. The clouds darkened. Tori could now see as Arthur raged with thunder erupting from his hands.

"Marcus!!!!!"

He glared, Marcus eyes went wide in fear.

Moon Walker

Chapter 7
An uncomfortable silence stood in between them as Arthur buttoned up his shirt. Sara thoughts were conflicted. First she didn't know if she hurt him by going too far into his mind. Second, she was scared he might not want to touch her again. Third, she wanted more. Her desires still burned.

"You should go home now, school is closed for now"

His response was just what she expected.

"And don't worry about Archer and the boys, I compelled them already. Your secret is safe"

He didn't look at her direction while he spoke. He couldn't bring himself too. She had seen his pain, his shame, that despite all the power he had. He couldn't save his mother. Not because he couldn't, but because he didn't want too. She must be thinking he is one heartless monster.

She started downstairs. The mansion was rather too big for just one person.

"Sara?"

She turned back in haste.

"The bracelet"

He threw it downwards so she could reach for it.

But before her hands got to it, he sped and picked her up, and stopped few metres to her house.

"Arthur?"

He didn't wait when she called. He sped off.

She couldnt tell if it was because she pried into his past, or if there was a consequence to what they did. She counted her steps towards the house, thinking of what her mother might say. She would scold her for coming home late, or better still ground her for a week or two.
"Ok, this is it. Breathe Sara, breathe. You can do this"

She muttered just by the door, trying to summon courage to open up.

And finally she did.

"Mum, I can explain, I..."

Katherine didn't wait for an explanation; she hurried to Sara, Tori tailed from behind her.

"Sara! Thank goodness"

She drew Sara into her arms and hugged her tight.

"I've been so worried; I have sent the police in search of you already"

Sara was about to question why before she remembered the commotion she created at school.

"Am fine mum"

Katherine released her to take another look at her daughter. She brought Tori close

"You girls are all I have now. Martin is no more. I don't know what I'll do if I lose any of you".

Tori signaled Sara, Katherine was becoming sober again.

Come on mum, you won't lose any of us. We promise ok?"

******

Arthur had to cool off. He entered the club, secluded from town. It was a club for just supernatural beings.

"Hey pretty boy"

A slender, sexy lady, touch him from behind.

He could still see beyond her.

"Knock it off Gareth"

The shape shifter returned to his normal male form.

"For a minute there, I had you Arthur..."

Gareth chuckled and took a chair to sit close to him.

"Oh yeah, in your dreams"

Arthur wasn't responding to his jokes.

"What's wrong Arthur?"

Arthur ignored and took a sip from his beer.

"It's the seer right?"

Arthur wasn't surprised when he guessed right. His fame with the seer was every where in the supernatural world.

"Gaza is after her Arthur"
"I know. I'll protect her"

Arthur replied.

His vision was getting blur.

"Can you?"

Gareth chuckled, but then he noticed Arthur.

"What's wrong?"

Arthur tried to stand up, but his legs wouldn't carry him.

He staggered but Gareth was quick to hold him still

"The beer..."

He sniffed it.

"Alixir, it's been poisoned with Alixir... Someone is after Sara"

Alixir was a deadly poison made by the Gazas wizards, it was capable of causing the death of a moon elite.
Arthur was able to detect it was poison before he passed out.

Gareth shape shifted to Arthur and made Arthur look in his form, to prevent an attack.

He scathed thru into the inn and placed Arthur on the bed.

Arthur's vein crept out to his eyes. He was turning white.

"Arthur! Arthur! Shit"

He needed a Wolfsbane flower to create an antidote.

His fear was if Arthur could hold on till he gets the antidote prepared.

"Hang on Arthur. Hang in there for me"

He hurried out.

Arthur could sense the presence of the creptones. The moment Gareth stepped out.

He was guessing they came to finish the work they started.

"Moon Walker..."

He heard the whispers as they Rose from the shadows.

He groaned from within as they approached him with their fangs and claws.

He couldn't move a muscle. 

Creptones were ugly, monstrous creatures, who fed on blood. Their favorites were moon elites. Although they didn't have the powers to prey on the moon elites, they only had the rear opportunity if Gaza gives them the honor of poisoned moon elite, as a reward, when they carry out his biddings.

Arthur tightened his grip on the bed and winced in pain, when they dug their claws into his flesh

"Hmm, taste good... Taste good"

Arthur tightened his eyes, and with his last resort he opened his mind and picked them all, and held them up to the ceiling. He pushed further with a loud scream and radiated their cells till they exploded..

He gasped for air; the veins had gotten his heart.

He knew fully well more creptones would come.

******

Sara was still asleep.  School had been closed for renovations. The news had announced that an earthquake had caused the disaster.

Although Tori knew now that Sara was responsible.

"You…? You did that?"

She questioned when Sara woke her up to spill, the next morning.

She nodded.

"How…?"

Tori pushed further as she sat up

Sara was about to reply when she got this feeling of another supernatural being in the house.

"Someone is here"

She said as she stood up from the bed.

"Yes, we are *someone* Sara..."

Tori replied, trying to remind Sara that they weren't invisible.

"No I mean someone, someone not human, I can feel it"

Tori jumped down from the bed and led the way downstairs.

"Oh, those are my girls"

It was Katherine, ushering a young man in.

"Girls this is Peterson, my colleague at work"

Sara observed her distance, as her eyes went wide. She could still remember clearly.

It was Marcus. What was he doing in her house?
