CHAPTER EIGHT
6:00AM
Oluchi was up early, had her bath and got dressed to go to her restaurant; Ikenna still in bed, she walked out the front door to see mango leaves all over the floor under the tree, she gets a broom and starts sweeping suddenly a bike drove into the compound fast that she got startled
“Oluchi! You dey here? Your shop dey burn” the young man said then turned and drove off. Oluchi immediately looked confused and scared
“Ikenna! Ikenna!” she shouted as she ran to the house
“What happened” he was already awake
“My shop is on fire” she said quickly
“What the hell” he quickly got in a shirt, picked his car keys and moved out with her and together they headed to the restaurant
Getting close he could see youths carrying sticks and machetes as they sang and destroyed the restaurant violently; something was surely wrong somewhere, Ikenna thought as he quickly parked
“Stay here” he said as he stepped out
“Where are you going? Those people are dangerous” she said
“I know... just stay here okay?” he left her in the car and walked towards the young men, he picked up a long large stick and dragged it along as he walked to them... somebody suddenly came up from behind him with a machete, he turned around with force as tjhe wood landed on the head of the target, sending him to the ground after a loud bang to the head; from the sound it was obvious skull was broken; two others ahead began two advancing towards Ikenna who was still dragging the wood along with blood stain, as they approached he hits one in the stomach with the wood who bends in pain, Ikenna strikes the second in the face who also holds his face and without wasting much time Ikenna hits the wood on his head and he fell then returned to the first who was about to run off but the sound the wood descending on his head sends him to the ground in no time but this time with the wood attached to his head and refusing to get off, that was when Ikenna knew there were nails on the wood. More youths began advancing towards Ikenna with dangerous objects; Ikenna tried pulling the wood from the dead man’s head but couldn’t; he lets it be then touched himself only to see he was not with a gun, the men kept advancing towards him, he then tightened his fists for a fight... I wonder what he was thinking or probably going to do when those men get close to him... something happened really fast; as they approached, the fire rose from the burning building and consumed them and they all scattered with fire, Ikenna was surprised and as well grateful, he looked back to see Lillian
“Thanks” he said
“What the hell were you thinking?”
“Well... I was going to give them a fight”
“You are crazy... there is a thin line between bravery and stupidity.... you are not commando... even Jackie Chan would run” she walked passed him towards the building and he followed
“Can you stop the fire” he asked, she raised enough sand from the earth that formed a tornado and let it collapse on the building and quenching the fire, she then returned the sand to the earth.
“Why did they do this?” he asked
“because Oluchi poisoned two chiefs who died last night” Lillian said
“What?! Why the hell would she do that?”
“She did it for you” Lillian said
“For me?... come on don’t give me that” he said and walked away; Oluchi standing outside the car
“Did Lillian do all that?” she asked
“Let’s go home” he said then entered the car and she followed quickly...

They arrived back at Ikenna’s house; Oluchi was sitting down and thinking, Ikenna standing with folded arms staring at her; she suddenly remembered the bakery
“Oh my God... the bakery!” she said to Ikenna
“Tell her the bakery is fine” Lillian said
“Lillian says your bakery is fine”
“Lillian is here?” she asked
“Yes she is” he replied; Oluchi looked around the room
“What do you think would make them burn your shop” he asked
“I have no idea” she said
“Oluchi, two chiefs died last night and they died from food poisoning... they opened up that you poisoned them at your restaurant” he said but she remained silent
“This is not a time to be silent... you know the situation in this village so why would you do such thing and put yourself in danger... you had no right to kill” he said
“I did it for you” she replied almost immediately
“Did it for me? Are you for real? You are saying you killed them for me” he was surprised
“Yes I did” she said firmly
“Ok! Why?”
“Because they asked me to poison you” she said
“Wh... what?!!!”
Yes” she explained it all to him; he then sits down thinking
“I’m sorry” she said
“No... No... You did no wrong... at least now I know why”
“There is going to be a big fight soon” Ikenna said
“Gun men are on their way here” Lillian said
“Lillian says Gun men are on their way here” Ikenna said
“Oh my God... what do we do?” Oluchi said with fear in her voice; Ikenna went into the room and armed himself with two desert eagles .50 cal then hands a berretta to Oluchi who refused to take it
“We are leaving here now but we must be armed” he said
“I have never shot a gun in my life talk less of killing someone”
“(Chuckles) What about the men you killed last night” he said
“Seriously? That was different” she said
“Yeah... different kind of killing... non lethal kill” he said
“I’m not taking the gun”
“You have only 10mins” Lillian said
“Come on take it... Lillian says we have only 10mins” he said and she collected the gun
“What now?” she asked
“Lillian please help me transport these boxes to your father’s place” he said; Oluchi watched as the boxes ascended up and disappeared
“Why can’t she just transport us” Oluchi said
“I want us to have little fun” he said smiling
“You can’t be serious” she said
“We can’t leave through the front or back because we do not know where they are coming from” he said
“What about your car” she asked
“bad idea” he said; suddenly 15 men arrived with machine guns and opened fire from 10meters away from the house
“Get down!” Ikenna yelled at Oluchi as he spotted them through the window; both dive to the floor as the men open heavy firing; the power of the machine guns pierced through the walls like papers, sounding like thunder; each bullet pierced through the walls into the house and rooms and coming out at the back... these bullets moved at very high speed and not a single bullet was scattered backwards like Ruthford’s experiment on bombarding thin gold foil with alpha particles... each bullets penetrated each object it encountered without mercy.
Oluchi was screaming out as she held her head but her voice could hardly be heard as the heavy guns blasted; particles of building falling on them and at Ikenna’s suggestion, they both began crawling into the room. These men appeared to be enjoying themselves as they fired endlessly with bullet cartridge littered around them; the building appeared to be at the brinks of collapse when suddenly Ikenna's car goes into the air and suddenly sweeps all the gun men away just like children clearing piles of rubber band with slippers. This was the hand work of Lillian; most men were dead and other seriously wounded; Lillian posses one of the men then makes him open fire on the others alive before finally making him shoot himself dead then she left his body...
Ikenna and Oluchi noticed the gun firing had stopped
“They stopped” Oluchi said; Ikenna gets up and looked around
“This building is about to collapse” he said then pulled her up and they both jumped out through the already destroyed window, he supported her as she descended from the window and together they slowly moved to the front only to see dead bodies and Ikenna’s car in the bush
“What happened to my car” he said
“You won’t need it anymore” she said
“Why”
“Because another set are on their way here” she said
“Then we must leave here now”
“Follow me” Lillian said and led them through the bush at the back of the house.
They walked for two hours
“Stop I am tired” Oluchi said
“Where are we going” Ikenna asked Lillian
“The next town” she said
“Why are we going there” he asked
“I have a safe place for you” she said
“Ok lets go” he said
“What did she say” Oluchi asked
“She said we are going to the next town where she got a safe place for us”
“Hope you carried your ATM card” Lillian asked
“Yes” he said
“The next town has enough ATM machine in case you need one” she said to them
“Let’s move quickly” he said and they continued...

CHAPTER SEVEN

5:17PM, SAME DAY
Oluchi’s shop was full of people eating and drinking, chatting aloud which was a usual scene around there. Two elders walked into the shop, from their dressing you could tell they were village chiefs; the called out to Oluchi through one of the girls; Oluchi responded
“Good evening my elders” she greeted them politely
“Good evening my daughter” they both replied
“Come in and sit down” she said
“Thank you but no need, we came for something urgent”
“Really?”
“Yes, lets go outside” Mazi Eze said, they walked outside, away from people
“There is something very very important we want you to do for us”
“Which is” she asked curiously; Mazi Ugo cleared his throat then spoke
“The hen that refuses to shield her children from the claws of the kite will lose all her children to the kite” Oluchi was not clear
“I don’t get” she said
“There is this young man in our village who came here over a month ago; rumour has it that you are both seeing each other, he comes around your shop and you visit his home”
“Yes that true? Any problem?”
“That man is highly dangerous” Mazi Ugo said
“Dangerous? How?”
“Listen my daughter” Mazi Ugo lowered his voice
“That man has committed a lot of evil in this land within the short period he arrived”
“But he is just a scientist” she defended
“That is the lie he told you” Mazi Eze said
“What is going on?” she asked
“That young man set a great fire in the evil forest and destroyed Nti Ala (The Watchers), he also kidnapped four elders who still missing till date, he was the one who killed Obara-Agu; he is very dangerous and will do worse to us all”
“Oh my God! This is unbelievable... How could he?” she was obviously shocked that Ikenna was the one behind those events although except for Obara-Agu
“My daughter... if you love your life you will help us” Mazi Eze said
“What do you want me to do” she asked
“If you do it well, we will expand your business by opening another store for you in the main market and also in the next village” Mazi Eze assured her
“really? You mean you will open two stores for me”
“yes we will”
“Then I will do anything”
“Good... we want you to prepare a very delicious dog pepper soup and take it to him but poison it before he eats it” Mazi Ugo said, she smiled
“that is very easy” she said
“Yes I know you can do it” Mazi Eze said smiling
“Where is the poison?” she requested; Mazi Eze handed it to her, it was Aluminium Phosphate powder in a bottle
“When do you want it done?” she asked
“Tonight” Mazi Ugo said
“Consider it done then” she said and the men smiled
“You are a daughter of the land” Mazi Eze said
“Thank you Mazi... I never knew this, thanks for letting me know who he truly is”
“You are our daughter and we must protect you from evil” Mazi Ugo said
“Thank you very much... please come and have something to eat” she said
“God bless you my daughter” they smiled and followed her inside, she served them some nice dog meat pepper soup. After they ate she escorted them outside as they happily picked their teeth
“My daughter God bless you” Mazi Eze said
Welcome sir”
“let us be on our way” Mazi Ugo said
“Wait... How long will it take the poison to work” she asked
“In three hours he would be dead” Mazi Eze said
“Ok... that means in three hours the both of you will no longer exist” she said
“What did you say?” Mazi Ugo said
“The both of you are very stupid” she said
“What?! Oluchi have you gone mad?” Mazi eze said
“It is the both of you who are mad” she fired back
“Aru! Oluchi!” Mazi Ugo said with surprise on his face
“You both walked to my shop asking me to poison an innocent man I love and who is doing the right thing” she blasted, they both looked at each other
“You come to me with worthless promises... do you think I am poor? Or do you think I can not expand my business anywhere I want? And even if I need help, surely not from you... are you not the same men who never wanted my family to prosper? (Surprise on their faces) Out of greed, and busy body, you all joined forces with my father’s brother to kill my father for his money which was never yours and at the end of the day the greedy animal of an uncle died after my father, may his soul never rest... Evil men!” she blasted
“Oluchi how can you say all these to us” Mazi Eze said
“I will say more”
“We shall see” Mazi Ugo said
“We shall nothing because the both of you may not see tomorrow” she said
“What?!” Mazi Eze exclaimed
“Go home and allow thy poison to do its work... lets hope it works as you have said”
“Chineke! I am finished” Mazi Eze ran off with Mazi Ugo
“Don’t worry you still have three hours!” she said as they ran off, she walked back to her store

7:30PM
Ikenna sitting in the sitting room and watching TV, there was a knock on the door, he picked up his gun and walked to the door and looked through the door watch hole to see Oluchi, he then hid the gun under the chair then opened the door
“hello Sweet heart” he said, she hugged him and kissed him then walked in with a bag in her hand
“What are you doing?” she asked as she sat down, she noticed his laptop and gadgets had been cleared from its position
“Just watching TV” he said sat beside her
“What’s in the bag?” he asked
“You didn’t even allow me relax”
“I am so hungry” he said as he grabbed the bag
“didn’t you prepare anything?” she asked
“No?” he opened the cooler to reveal Jollof rice and some meat which got him salivating
“Why?”
“I was waiting for you” he said as he grabbed the spoon and started eating
“You can’t be serious... waiting for me... what if I didn’t show up” she said
“I knew you would... I had faith” he said then hands her the second spoon
“Hurry now while stock last” he said, she smiled
“Let me get some drinks” she went into the kitchen and returned with some drinks, they ate together.

After they were done eating, she relaxed in his arms as they both watched TV quietly until she broke the silence
“Ikenna” she called
“Hmmm”
“Who are you?” she asked, he was a little surprised with the question
“What... are you talking about” he asked
“I’m talking about who you are?” she said as she adjusted her sitting to look him in the eyes
“I thought I already told you”
“Well then tell me again” she said
“Ok... I am a natural scientist and I study nature and animals”
“That’s a bloody lie” she said
“Excuse me?”
“You are not excused” she said
“Come on Ikenna... do you think you are talking to some village girl or some illiterate?”
“Come on, you are taking this too far”
“Then tell me who you are”
“I... I already told you who I am” he said
“You set up a great fire in the evil forest, you kidnapped four elders from this village who are still missing till date... is that the new work line of a natural scientist?” she questioned, he was silent
“Ikenna lie to me one more time and I will walk out that door and never come back” she threatened; he saw the seriousness n her eyes and immediately knew he didn’t want her to walk out his life
“Give me a minute” he said then went into the room and came out with a big metal bag and placed it on the table, he returned inside and came out with another one. He sat down then opened one of the box to reveal guns, bullets and knives
“Oh my God... desert Eagles... 5.5mm berretta with suppressor... my goodness this is Smith & Wesson .500” she said touching the revolver
“What are you doing with these? Who are you?” she asked; Ikenna was more interested in how she knew these weapons by their names
“how did you know these weapons by their names?” he asked
“I studied criminology in the university of Lagos” she said
“Waw, you never cease to amaze me”
“What’s in the second box?” he closed the first then opened the second to reveal grenades, land mines and spy devices
“These look more like German grenades, advanced land mines and spy wares” she looked at him in the eyes; he knew he couldn’t continue lying anymore
“I am Agent Ikenna Silas... secret Elite agent... the best in the Nigerian field, I work for the CIA and FIB”
“My God! You are an assassin... Government approved assassin” she said
“That’s not what it is” he said
“Then what is it?”
“Well... its part of our job but we don’t take down just anybody... we only deal with individuals who are threats to the world” he said
“And how do you tell they are threats?” she asked
“Look its a long story”
“So I have been with an assassin all this while” she said
“No... it’s not like that... okay? You are getting this whole thing wrong” he said, she just stared at him
“Ok fine... we kill... yes we kill... we take names, kick asses, no questions asked... we infiltrate, we set people up in their own game, we take terrorists down, we do a lot but... we will never ever take out the innocent... why are we even talking about this?” he said walking about
“What is your mission here?” she asked
“I am here to end all these crap in your community... missing persons? Mutilated bodies? Mysterious village? Everything will end” he said
“I don’t know but... what is happening here is kind of supernatural” she said
“I didn’t think so until I arrived... but now I have help”
“What help? From who?” she asked, he paused and didn’t know how she would react if he told her
“Your friend... Lillian Uzoma” he said
“What are you talking about? Lillian is dead?”
“I know that... but I see her and she has been of great help to me” he said, she stared plainly at him with disbelief
“I’m serious” he said
“Hell no you cant be serious” she said; Lillian appeared on one of the chairs but Oluchi couldn’t see her
“She is here” Ikenna said
“What do you mean by she is here”
“”I mean she is here” he pointed to her sitting position
“Is this a joke?”
“No its not... she is sitting over there” he pointed, Oluchi looked and saw no one
“Are you in any way trying to scare me?”
“No I’m not” he replied
“Wait a minute... is hallucination a consequence of being a secret agent” she asked
“This is no hallucination... I think I’m talking too much” he said
“get a cup of what” Lillian said
“I’ll be back” Ikenna went into the kitchen and came back with a cup of water and placed it on the table
“What are you doing” she asked
“Lillian wants to speak to you” he said
“With a cup of water? Am I suppose to looking inside the cup or what” she mocked and suddenly the water levitates from the cup and formed a written word in teh air
“Hi Oluchi” Oluchi is in shock
“Oh my... God”
“Is it really you Lillian?”
“Yes” the water formed
“I can’t believe this” Oluchi said with sadness in her voice
“I have missed you so much” Oluchi said as tears formed in her eyes
“Me too” Lillian replied
“Why can’t I see you?” Oluchi asked
“It’s not yet time” Lillian replied
“I have opened the restaurant we have always wanted”
“Yes I know” Lillian replied Oluchi gave a little sad smile as tears in her eyes almost dropping
“Maybe you can visit some time” Oluchi said
“I come there a lot” Lillian replied, tears rolled down Oluchi’s eyes and she cried
“I love you Lillian”
“I love you too Oluchi” the water returned back to the cup leaving Oluchi crying; Ikenna moved closer to her and comforted her
“I know how you feel” Ikenna said
“They must all die for this” Oluchi said
“That is absolutely inevitable” he said...

11:27PM
Oluchi spent the night with Ikenna; they were both asleep when there was a sudden loud explosion that woke them up
“Jesus!” Oluchi jerked from the bed as her heart raced
“SSSHH” Ikenna signalled her
“What was that” she asked
“My trap caught a scape-goat” he said as he stood from the bed
“Where are you going?” she asked calmly
“I’ll be back” he said then entered the sitting room and turned on the outside lights then walked back into the bedroom, then looked out the window but saw no one, he took his night goggle and a gun, he loaded the gun then handed it to Oluchi then picked another gun
“Don’t be scared, I got this” he said
“Do not open the window curtains and lock the door once I go out, when I come back I will knock once” she nodded in agreement, he left; going out he turned off the outside lights then puts on the night goggles which gave him better brighter view of the environment. As he came out the house he sees two men in the bush, he shot them dead after attaching a suppressor to the gun nozzle; he squats then proceeds to the back yard; he saw two other men moving quietly in his direction but they couldn’t see him, he shoots them both; he walked into the bush were the explosion had come from, there he saw six dead bodies; he had earlier planted a land mine there; he saw no other person, he then dragged all the bodies into the bush, got fuel from inside then set the corpses on fire then went back inside
“Everything is okay” he said to her
“Are you sure” there was fear in her eyes and she looked really beautiful being scared
“You know? You look more beautiful when scared” he teased her
“Oh shut up” she smiled
“Who were those” she asked
“Boys from your village chief I guess”
“You really need to leave this place” she said
“I already have another location” he said...

SACRED SHRINE, EVIL FOREST
Some group of elders walked into the shrine house which was surrounded with flame torches; they all sit and await the priest to speak
“Njaba! We have come” an elder spoke and then silence and suddenly a large red flame began burning heavily from a large pot, it burned to large as so bright that the elders could feel the heat from where they sat
“Speak” a deep demonic voice sound; it was the chief priest speaking
“We have come to report the news of Obara-Agu’s death”
“Obara-Agu brought death on himself; no son of Njaba engages in a love duel” the voice said
“What about the stranger”
“An abomination dwells in our land and you all do nothing about it”
“Ezenmo... Silence!” the voice ordered and they were silent
“One man commits grave offences in our land... he must be killed... he set the Watchers on fire, killed four elders and finally Obara-Agu... Njaba is enraged and therefore demands that his head be brought to the shrine in 14days”
“How do we go about it?”
“That is left for you to figure out... if you fail, death will come upon the land starting with your families” the voice said and the fire immediately died down signifying that the priest would no longer speak so they got up and left...

2 DAYS LATER
Ikenna opens the door to see Lillian
“Hi” she said and walked into the house
“Hi” he replied as he shut the door
“Why do you always knock when you come around?” he asked, she looked at him
“Am I suppose to answer that” she asked
“I mean you are a ghost... or should I say phantom... spirits just appear in people’s houses without knocking”
“Let’s say I’m a different type... I don’t barge in and scare them or do you prefer that?” she asked
“I don’t think you need to knock here because you are welcome anytime” he said then stared at her in silence
“What are you staring at?” she asked and he lowered his face
“I’m sorry... it’s just that you are a very pretty spirit”
“Hmmm”
“It hurts that I came here after you died” he said
“If I hadn’t died you wouldn’t be here... because things get worse after my death and you are here because things got worse”
“I guess you are right... but sometimes... I think I’d die doing this mission and probably join you on the other side” he said, she smiled then got up and sat beside him and touched his hand
“I like you too... but sometimes things don’t always happen the way we want it, we just have to live with it... you don’t expect life to favour you all the time” she said
“I wish it could for once” he said, she smiled
“You will not die doing this mission, as long as you are with me, you will live through this although the troubles are about to start but you will live through it... besides, you are beginning to love Oluchi... I want you to love her; she is everything you want... after all these is over I will no longer be here but she will” she encouraged him as he remained silent; there was a knock on the door, he walked to the door, opened it to see Oluchi
“Hi” she said then hugged him
“How are you doing today” he asked
“Not bad?” she said as she walked in with a black poly bag in hand; Ikenna had eyes on the bag
“Thanks for yesterday” she said as she sat
“Please its nothing” he said
“What’s in the bag?” he asked, she laughed
“Your eyes have been on this bag since I entered, you didn’t even allow me rest” she said; he grabbed the bag
“You can rest while but this one will not” he said and pulled out a cooler and opened it to see dog meat pepper soup
“You have made my day... I am so going to marry you when this is over” he said picking up the spoon; she laughed
“Be careful it’s still very hot” she said
“E go cold for belle” he said
“Let me get a plate” she entered the kitchen and came with a plate, she poured some meat in the plate
“Maybe we should wait for it to cool off” he said; Lillian was sitting close and watching
“Tell me about your friend Lillian” he said; Oluchi is silent then looked at him
“I wouldn’t call her a friend... she was my twin sister... who could be more unique and intelligent? So gifted... sometimes she said things that scared me... (chuckles) like when she said there was going to be a serious fight at the market and lives will be lost... it happened as she had said it, the next day on my way to market I saw people running in my direction, they told me there was a serious fight going on in the market machetes everywhere... I loved her so much; we both planned on owning a big restaurant because we both loved cooking a lot... but they took her away from me” she said with tears in her eyes
“Who took her away?”
“The chief priest’s apprentice, Obara-Agu, the elders... they took her as a sacrifice saying the gods wanted her because she was an abomination to the land because of her extra abilities... I know they were liars and animals... but I believe that one day Lillian would end their evil lives... I was happy the day I heard that four chiefs went missing and the death of Obara-Agu as well as the day there was a great fire in the evil forest that destroyed The Watchers... I really miss Lillian, tears rolled down her eyes
“It’s okay” he held her close
“But why did you ask?”
“Huummm... well... I met her father”
“Really? Where”
“At his house”
“His house? Mr. Uzoma moved out of his house after the death of Lillian and ever since then I have never seen him... I wish to see him”
“Don’t worry you will... I will take you to him








NEXT DAY...
Ikenna is sitting in his bedroom and arranging some clothes, he hears the sound of the TV come on, he picked up his gun and walked to the door, he opened the curtain to see Lillian in the sitting room, crossed her legs watching TV
“You know, I have never seen you turn on this TV” she said without looking back at him, he lowered the gun then walked to her
“No time for TV” he said as he sat down and put the gun on the table
“But don’t forget that all work and no play makes jack a dull boy” she said
“Not this Jack” he said as he got up and walked to the room
“Let me finish up with what I was doing” he said
“Yeah.. quickly we need to talk” she said
“Alright, give me a minute” he walked away then returned not long then sat down, the TV suddenly goes of, he looked around but there was still light
“What happened?” he questioned with a puzzled face
“What do you mean by what happened? I turned off the TV” she replied
“You... you turned off the TV” he repeated with disbelief
“Yes”
“Hell no, do it again” he requested; the TV comes on again
“Wait... turn it off” he said again, it goes off, he smiled
“Ok turn in on again” he seemed to be enjoying it, the TV comes on again
“It seems you want to blow up your TV... cause I’m channelling some dangerous amount of energy into that electronic”
“Waw... how did you do that?”
“It’s part of me, a can establish connection with almost anything around me... I feel the energy as well as the matter around me that can be easily manipulated” she explained
“God damn it, girl... you are a superhero” he said, she laughed
“Am I?” she asked
“Hell yeah... wait a minute... do you have telekinesis?” he asked
“Yes I do”
“Be right back” he went into the kitchen and returned with a jug of water and a cup, placed it on the table
“I want you to lift this cup” he said; the cup suddenly goes up from the table, Ikenna is stunned, he moves closer to the cup, held it then pulled it down slowly; it felt like a magnetic field
“It feels like magnet” he said
“Yeah, it’s the energy from me... I can also make it impossible for you to pull down” she said
“I won’t doubt that” he said
“Now I want you to turn water into the cup from the jug” he requested as he watched carefully; the jug levitates and bends slowly towards the cup and water pours into it until it got filled up
“Beautiful” he clapped
“Watch this” she said; the jug levitates then disappeared
“Wow... where did it go?”
“There are various places it could go... I can send it to limbo, planet zero, unknown planes or the dimension between the reality of this place and the reality of another place I know” she explained
“Quite interesting”
“If I send it into an unknown plane then I can’t bring it back” she said
“Why”
“It’s like throwing a stone in the ocean... there are millions of unknown planes”
“Ok can I have my jug back please” he said and the jug appeared then sits back on the table
“I can make it unseen but it would still be right there” she said
“Like invisible?” he said
“Yeah” she said and the cup suddenly goes invisible
“Interesting” Ikenna moved close, he could see water which was almost invisible until he touched it and his finger got wet; but could not see the cup; he touched the invisible cup but couldn’t see what he was touching
“This is the most amazing thing I have ever seen in my entire life” he said
“But how come the water is not invisible” he asked
“You can’t make water invisible because it already portrays the nature of invisibility” she said; the cup appears again
“Now watch this” she said; water levitates from the cup into the air then forms a circle
“You got to be fucking kidding me... you are a water bender” he said, surprise on his face as well as excitement; the water then formed a gun like Ikenna’s, then shoots a water bullet that travels slowly to Ikenna’s head then goes back to the water; then the water formed the symbol of love
“Beautiful” he said
“Ok that’s enough” she said and then water collapsed on the table and spilled on the floor
“Shit... Come on Lillian? You spoilt it” he said; the water on the floor started moving together then moved up the table like a snake and together with the water on the table, it all returned into the cup; Ikenna clapped loudly
“This is the most beautiful entertainment I have ever had” he said
“What a beautiful ending”
“Thank you” she said...

“You said we needed to talk” he said
“The village elders visited the high priest after the death of Obara-Agu and it all fell on you because of the deeds you have done” she said
“I’m so proud of myself” he said
“Now the chief priest has demanded for your head” he laughed
“My head?... you can’t be serious”
“Yes your head”
“And how exactly do they intend doing that”
“The youths” she said
“They want to use the youths” he completed
“Yes” she said
“I see”
“Listen Ikenna, things are going to get bloody soon so I need you to start moving your important possessions to a safe place
“I Guess this was the rain you were talking about” he said and she nodded lightly
“But where do I move these stuff?” he asked
“You think”
“I think I know where... your father’s place”
“Good, start today because tonight there will be an attack on you” she said
“Thank God... I’m finally going to have fun” he said
“Are you for real?” she said
“Come on girl... this place has been way to boring for me... I need some excitement” he said as he started packing up his gadgets into a bag, he puts his laptop in a bag then turned to Lillian to see her watching TV
“Lillian come on, help me please”
“What do you want me to do?”
“Detach the cameras around the house” he said then she nodded and disappeared; they packed up all his computer gadgets in two bags, he then carried them off to Mr. Uzoma’s house; Mr. Uzoma gave him the second apartment to load his bags... he then returned to prepare for WAR...

CHAPTER SIX
TWO WEEKS LATER
The closeness between Ikenna and Oluchi was building fast; he would visit her at the restaurant or she would be at his place while they talked and laughed together. The attraction got stronger and better, she was always welcome to his house as it became her home but Ikenna never made the mistake of giving her the keys to his house; in this land anything could happen and he surely doesn't want to be on the losing side...

Ikenna and Oluchi are both seated on a tree trunk by the road side eating some snacks as they talked
“My business is over 4 years”
“How did you start up?” he asked
“My father sold of one of his biggest plots of land for 6million naira because he wanted to set up a large bakery with village but unfortunately he died before he could start”
“I’m so sorry”
“I loved his idea so I took up the plans and set up the bakery and discovered there was still enough cash to start a restaurant so I went into the business”
“I’m impressed... you own a bakery and a restaurant”
“I have always wanted to own a restaurant; it was a dream I and my best friend had but she died before we could start”
“So sorry... looks like you have lost real close persons” Ikenna said
“Yeah... my father... my best friend... Lillian Uzoma, she actually died before my father”
“I know the kind of pain you must feel... like when I lost my kid sister 3 years back... she was 26 and flying from Washington to The Netherlands but the plane never reached its destination”
“Oh my God... so sorry” Oluchi said
“The plane went missing but was found after one month in the ocean”
“Sorry about your lose dear” she put her hand across his shoulder
“Lets take a walk” he said and they both got up and held hands as they walked. They walked through the market place; Ikenna then noticed people staring strangely at him as they whispered
“Why are they staring at us like that” he asked
“Don’t mind them; it’s considered forbidden for a married woman to hold hands with another man except her husband” Oluchi said; Ikenna is a little surprised
“Are you married” he asked, she smiled
“No... but many think I am married to Obara-Agu”
“Why would they think such?”
“Because he told them so and has killed some men because of me, funny enough I had nothing with the men he killed”
“I see”
“Are you scared?” she asked, he laughed lightly
“That’s funny and obviously rhetorical” he said
“No its not” she said
“Can’t be scared of a man I can squeeze life out off” he said and she laughed; out of nowhere Obara showed up and stood in front of them; people had gathered to watch the drama
“What are you doing with this out cast” Obara spoke in anger
“Why would you call him an outcast” she replied
“Oluchi! You belong to me and me alone” he said loudly
“I don’t belong to you”
“If you do not separate yourself from this out cast, I will kill the both of you here now” he spoke in range; the crowd murmured loudly; Ikenna was silent
“It seems you have gone deaf” Obara said to Ikenna
“What is the meaning of this? Why are you embarrassing us in public” Oluchi said angrily
“Are you talking to me like that?” Obara asked and immediately raised his walking stick to strike her head but Ikenna got hold of the stick before it got to her head, he then snatched the stick from Obara
“How dare you raise your stick to hit a woman?” Ikenna said then pushed him backwards that he staggered and almost fell
“How dare you?” Ikenna said then gave him a hot slap, the crowd shouted; Obara in shock as he held his face
“You slapped me?” Obara said and another slap landed
“Speak again and I will give you the third slap here”
“I have had enough of your bullshit” Ikenna said then broke Obara-Agu’s walking stick, the people shouted as some persons placed both hands on their heads
“The next time you try this rubbish I will dismember your face” Ikenna threw the broken stick to the ground in front of Obara then walked away with Oluchi leaving Obara completely weak and powerless...
NEXT DAY...
Ikenna is seated in the sitting room with his laptop when someone knocked on the door, he walked to the door and opened it to see Lillian
“Hey Lillian” he said and she immediately hugged him and kissed his cheek
“I love you and I am so proud of you... you have made me happy” she said; he appeared to be surprised as she walked inside and pulls him along
“Why are you excited” he asked
“Because you have done a great thing” she said
“What did I do?”
“You have killed Obara-Agu” she said
“Kill? I didn’t kill him... we only had an encounter and I gave him a stern warning” he explained, she smiled
“You’re about to find out” she said then disappeared
“No wait...” she was already gone; another knock on the door, he walked to the door, opened it to see Oluchi, she hugged him tightly then kissed his cheek
“I love you... I am so proud of you... you have made me happy” she said and walked in
“What’s the excitement about” Ikenna asked
“Because you have done a great thing” she said the exact words Lillian said or should I say Lillian said the exact words Oluchi was going to say
“What did I do”
“You have killed Obara –Agu”
“How?” he was confused
“Obara-Agu is dead” she said
“Dead... how? I didn’t kill him”
“Yes you did” she said; Lillian appeared on another chair
“You did by breaking his walking stick which was his strength” Lillian said but only Ikenna could hear her
“Come on, Obara is an evil man that deserved to die” Oluchi said
“So I guess this is good news” he said
“Of cause it is” both ladies said together...

There is an advantage and disadvantage to what Ikenna had done... the news of Obara-Agu’s death had spread like fire, the event that took place at the market had spread with it and many believed Ikenna had killed Obara-Agu, this happening made the villagers fear Ikenna and labelled him the second most powerful man in the village, he gained popularity and friends... but on the other hand... the news had reached the chief priest who happened to be the most powerful man in the land.
It is believed that no one sees him face to face and lives, even the elders who were permitted to speak to him spoke to him only through mystical flame known as OBI (The Heart)...

Nice write-up. Keep posting please

“How can you walk up to me for no reason and tell me to stay away from someone just like that”
“Let me tell you something” the stranger said
“There are so many beautiful women in this village but Oluchi Nicholas and Lillian Uzoma were exceptionally more beautiful. Unfortunately Lillian was sacrificed to Njaba, the god of the land who desired her as wife because of her exceptional beauty and spiritual gifts”
“On the other hand, no one dares go close to Oluchi”
“And why is that” Ikenna asked
“Because Obara-Agu, the second strongest man in the village desires her as wife”
“I’m not interested in all this shit talk” Ikenna said
“Listen, young men like you have died because of this woman; Obara-Agu is very wicked and deadly, he will kill you too once he sees you with her... I’m warning you” the stranger said then walked away
“Wait” Ikenna said and the stranger stopped
“I want you to deliver a message to Obara whatever you call him” Ikenna said, the stranger looked confused
“Tell him I have him on my death list and in few days he’s going to stop breathing” Ikenna entered his car and drove off leaving the stranger in surprise...

Ikenna got back home, went into the house and saw Lillian sitting
“Oh my God Lillian” he was happy to see her and he walked towards her
“Don’t come near me” she said without looking at him, he stopped; he knew she was still angry at him as she sat there
“I’m so sorry... I just... Save it please” she cuts in
“You have made a terrible mistake” she said
“What do you mean”
“I asked you to kill them but you decided to do it your way”
“I have them in custody” he said
“That is not enough... their staffs will testify on their behalf”
“I don’t get you” he said
“the walking sticks they carry are mystical objects that will speak to the chief priest against you” she explained
“But I buried them in the forest” he said
“That is why it is taking them long to find it and once they do, you are dead” she said
“Ok so what do we do?” he asked
“We?” she looked at him
“You must be joking... its your mission so the ball is in your court”
“Lillian don’t do this to me... I’m sorry... are you going to watch them kill me?” he said, she looked at him then looked away; she surely wouldn’t watch Ikenna die
“Henceforth, you listen to me” she said
“Yes madam” he said
“I’m not joking” she said
“I wasn’t joking too” he said
“You have to kill those men and their sticks will die along with them, in that way the priest is left with nothing” she said; Ikenna picked his phone and called Scott
“Hello Scott”
“Hello Agent”
“There’s a problem right now”
“What is it?”
“I need you to kill those men”
“You mind explaining why?” Scott asked
“If you don’t my life is on the line”
“Come on Agent be clearer”
“Lieutenant, this is very complicated right now... if you want me to complete this assignment, you will end those men right now” Ikenna said, Scott is silent
“Are you there?” Ikenna said
“Ok I will do it”
“Thank you! Please do immediately”
“I will” Scott said; Ikenna hanged up then sank in the chair, Lillian got up from her seat and sat beside him
“Every single person you will kill were a part of my death and a greater step to stopping all these evil”
“I promise you, I will do everything to end all these”

NIGHT
Ikenna laid on his bed to sleep but couldn’t find sleep, he kept thinking of Lillian
“Lillian, if you can hear me I am very sorry please I need your help” he spoke to the room in the darkness
Suddenly he started hearing someone playing the local igbo flute with beautiful melody, he sat up as the music continued, he turned on all the outside bulbs but it continued, he carried his gun and loaded bullets, he entered the sitting room, everywhere was quiet as only the ceiling fan can be heard.
Suddenly the music started fading, he knew the person was walking away, he opened the curtain lightly to see a figure walking away, he quietly opened the door and walked out and slowly followed the music
Ikenna walked down the dark path, he could hardly see the figure ahead of him but could hear the sound of the local flute so he kept moving. He had walked far away from his house but still continued following the music; he then saw a six storey building under construction, the building had so many windows, big and small but the building was full of darkness except for the ground floor; there was a bright light shinning at the ground floor from the inside.
The music had led him this way but why? The music suddenly stopped, he looked around then walked closer to the building which had piles of sand around it and bamboos and irons attached to its walls; there was a big door in front and he was about to open it when he heard a voice
“There is no where to run?” Ikenna turned to see four men; two were quite muscular and had no shirt on but just black shorts, the other two were on native attire with one holding a walking stick who happened to be Obara-Agu
“You have ventured into activities that doesn't concern you” Obara said loudly
“it is an abomination for spied to come into the land and I tell you that tonight you will die” Obara said; Ikenna looked at his gun then looked at Obara
“Actions speak louder” Ikenna said, Obara smiled and then ordered the two muscular men to stand in front of him and he said some incantations and then touched them with his staff and the most unbelievable happened before Ikenna... both men immediately became two big monster dogs standing at four feet, their barking was like roaring of a lion
“Since you like action, here is some action” Obara said; Ikenna ran off towards the building, he climbed a pile of sand and jumped into a window, falling to the floor in the darkness, he began looking for his way through the darkness, he found the door by touching the walls, he ran out the door into the dark corridor and there was silence but he could hear the snaring of the beasts getting closer, quickly he moved in the darkness, fortunately he found a stair case which he followed up, he kept climbing higher although there were no hand rails but he kpt going, he could still hear the dogs following, he diverts into an opening that led him into a brighter path, there he could see the center of the building was a very large hall like a church, but there were no chairs just iron rods going up and down the whole place supporting the building. As he stood in the light one of the dogs came out from the darkness and here he had a closer look at the creature which looked really fearful and then a voice said to him “pour some dust to its face” he looked around but the floor was concrete, the dogs were getting closer, he quickly followed the set of stairs leading into the hall, the dogs followed him and about to catch him but he jumped onto one of the iron bars and began climbing up; the bars were arranged vertically and horizontally, he kept going higher, the dogs began breaking the irons from the base with their teeth and making Ikenna unstable as he climbed but he kept going as he looked up he saw the bloodied figure of Lillian and got startled and missed a step and lost his grip and fell straight down to the ground but he suddenly woke up before he hit the ground...

It had been a dream all the while, he looked at the time it was 9am, he cleaned his eyes then got up...
Two hours later he was out in town again, after driving some distance he stopped to pee and after urinating he turned and saw Obara walking towards his direction, Ikenna then waited so as to take a closer look at his face
“You are very lucky” Obara said as he walked past Ikenna with a wicked smile
“Is that how you welcome visitors in your community” Ikenna said, Obara stopped then turned
“Visitor or spy” Obara asked
“They say the first time is a mistake so let me warn you never to try that nonsense you did again... The last thing you want to do is piss me off” Ikenna said standing in Obara’s face who looked surprised
“Warn me?”
“You have guts” Obara said as both men look each other in the eyes
“This is reality not a dream land, so why not make a move now and watch me Bleep up your horrible face” Ikenna said, Obara could see the fearlessness in him
“(chuckles) you are like an antelope living in the community of tigers... your people will have nothing left of you to bury because I will personally suck the marrow in your bones” Obara laughed as he walked away
“You are no tiger!” Ikenna said and Obara stopped to listen
“You are a dog like in the dream but you forget something” he said, Obara turned to face him
“In this community dogs end up in the pot” Ikenna entered his car and drove away leaving Obara in anger
“We shall meet again” Obara said...

Ikenna arrived at the dog soup restaurant but this time met fewer persons there even the external extension had very few persons, he entered and sat down inside then took out his phone; a Samsung galaxy S9+
“No one uses such gadget around here” a female voice said, Ikenna raised his face to see the beautiful lady
“And why is that?” he asked
“It’s kind of complicated” she sat down facing him
“I see... how is work going”
“We thank God”
“I’m surprised to see fewer persons today” he said looking around
“The dog meal is yet to be prepared” she smiled
“Oh I see... and about the dog soup, that was really tasty”
“Thank you for that” he said
“You are welcome... you just left like that yesterday”
“So sorry, I had something to do” he said
“You over paid” she said
“Yeah? Well then take it as an extra for the good job” he said, she smiled and dropped some money on the table
“Here is your change from yesterday” she pushed the money to him, he was a little surprised
“Don’t you think your boss wouldn’t like that” he said
“She would love it perfectly”
“Then you keep it”
“No thank you” she said
“I can’t take it back” he pushed back to her
“Why?”
“I’m a giver not a taker”
“Ok take it as a gift from me to you” she said and he laughed
“You are gifting me my change... you are funny” he said, she turned then called one of her girls, the young girl walked down to her quickly
“Ma?”
“Here... you can have it” she hands the money to the girl who smiled
“Thank you ma” the girl leaves; Ikenna looked a bit surprised
“Wait a minute...” he paused
“You own this place” he said
“Yes sir” she said
“Waw! I’m impressed... you have done well for yourself”
“Thank you”
“My name is...” he paused and thinks which name to say; the way she was looking at him looked similar to that of Lillian’s, those beautiful eyes that can detect lies
“Ikenna Silas”
“Why did it take you so long to say your name”
“Same question I am asking myself right now” he smiled, she laughed
“You’re funny... I’m Oluchi Nicholas” she smiled, he shook her hand
“What would you like to drink” she asked
“A bottle of malt” he said and she signalled one of her girls to bring it
“So what brings you to our community?” she asked
“Well... I am a scientist... a natural scientist... I study nature and animals” he lied
“Interesting” she said, he looked at his time
“I have to go now” he said getting up, she looked a little disappointed
“So quick?”
“Need to go do something... maybe you can tell me where you stay so I can pay a visit” he said
“No you tell me where you stay so I can pay a visit” she said
“Just head west, get to the old catholic church then turn right and go straight up north to the end, you will see a large mango tree standing in a large compound with a car under the tree... I don’t stay in the tree, there is a house in the compound” he said she laughed
“Ok thats easy, I will come around” she then escorted him outside, then went back inside, he walked to his car
“Excuse me” a voice said, he turned to see a young man
“Yes?” he said
“Good day” he greeted
“Good day” Ikenna responded
“She is very beautiful I know” he said
“What are you talking about” Ikenna asked, the stranger looked left and right
“Stay away from Oluchi” he said calmly
“And why is that”
“Please don’t be stubborn”

TWO DAYS LATER
Ikenna hasn’t left the house for 2 days, he spent time making plans and thinking. He planned on monitoring Obaraa-Agu and bringing him to submission, he also thought of finding a way to speak to Lillian but how was that going to be possible
As Ikenna thought, his phone rang, he quickly p;icked the call
“Hello agent”
“Hello Lieutenant”
“its a surprise to hear from you, you got something for me?” Ikenna asked
“yes I do... we got them talking”
“Awesome, what did they say?” Ikenna adjusted his sitting posture
“All the missing persons in the community are being transported to a secret place”
“Where is this secret place?”
“They don’t even know”
“What else?”
“They talked about a particular lady called Lillian Uzoma” Ikenna's eyes widen
“What did they say about her?”
“She was sacrificed to their gods for the purpose of empowering and protecting the land”
“Did they say what happened to her body”
“They said her body was cremated”
“That’s a fucking lie!”
“How did you know that?”
“Listen Scott, a lot of supernatural shit is going on here which I must dig... I have seen the lady”
“What do you mean by you have seen the lady?”
“She’s some spirit and I communicate with her, she helped me capture those men in your custody”
“This is really some crazy shit” Scott said
“I have something to do now... get more words from them”
“I’ll get back to you” Scott hanged up; Ikenna exhales loudly...

A NEW WEEK...
Ikenna sets out in his car to the pepper soup joint in town where he is surprised to meet a catching number of persons eating and drinking... was it really dog meat that captured these people or something else was involved? He thought to himself.
He sat down inside, few persons stared at him as he looked new around there; every other person was busy gisting and eating; where he sat a young lady walked to him
“Welcome sir” she said with a light smile; Ikenna looked at her and felt his skin sweat and hair stand... she was bright skinned, as beautiful as Lillian, she was in a blue top and tied wrapper; even the wrapper could not hide the size of her backside, she was an art work of magnificence, she glowed in her bright skin, she was just too beautiful... what was she even doing here as a sales girl
“hello? Sir?” she called back his attention
“So sorry” he said
“Would you like something?” she asked
“yes.. a bottle of malt will do”
“Is that all”
“Yes, thank you” she looked a little surprised
“You don’t want pepper soup?” she asked because no one enters without getting a plate
“What type of pepper soup?” he asked
“its dog meat” she said
“okay? I think I will pass” he said, she smiled and walked away and returned with the drink
“You have never eaten dog meat” she said
“Not even in my dream” he said, she laughed lightly
“how about we do something”
“What”
“how about I give you a plate of pepper soup for free and if you don’t like it, you don’t get to pay for the drink but if you finish it, you’ll pay two times the price for this drink... what do you say?” she said, he smiled
“Am I allowed to spit it on the floor?” he asked
“Sure” she smiled then walked away, returned with a plate of dog meat pepper soup, Ikenna stared at the bright shining meal
“Bon apetite” she walked away... he picked up the spoon and tasted the soup, he raised his brow in agreement to its sweet taste, he picked up a meat and took a bite, he immediately knew he had lost the bet... after a while she returned to meet empty plate
“I don’t know how you did it but I think I want another of this... I am paying double for everything” she laughed, walked away and returned with another plate, he started consuming
“I will be back” she said and left him, he nodded as he continued eating then suddenly he heard someone call “Obara-Agu”, he paused then turned his head to his right to see some group of men chatting and greeting each other, he listened to them as he ate, not long two men stood up with Obara-Agu and walked out, Ikenna quickly counted #5000 and put it on the table and put the second unopened can malt on it, he then walked out the shop. The men separated and went different ways, Obara-Agu got on his bike and drove off, Ikenna got in his car and followed him until he arrived at his compound which had a coconut tree in the centre; Ikenna drove past the house..
