64

The room rose up in uproar.
Salami in confusion sat on his seat beside the altar table. The priest remained standing.
I still lay trying to understand the drama, but somehow I began to perceive the aroma of pre-plot between Sandra and the priest.

I could not wait to be unchained. Things were happening so fast like magic. I could not tell how far this play or magic would take us. However, in the midst of my panic, I could still sense a thin spring of joy.

For some minutes, nothing happened. The room remained loud with murmurings. Sandra strangely remained silent.

My eyes met with some volturis who starred at me suspiciously; I did not take my eyes away rather I waited for them to do so. That way, I continued the process with some other volturis for some time.

Suddenly, the priest broke the silence-

‘I know everybody is surprised at the turn of events; but what can we do. We are volturis and we are the greatest, there is no power that can stop us. However when a ballistic spirit seats on a round table to negotiate with the priest in the presence of other volturis, then it means that the spirit has come on a peaceful mission.’

‘Since these two demons stepped into this secret empire, it had been mischief and tragedy all through the night. Grasshopper is dead, Solomon is, capon is as well, scorpion is on the ground bleeding, and he may bleed to death because nobody will save him. He will die!’

‘Ahh!’ everybody interjected together in shock.

Salami sat at the edge of his seat-
‘Making four top volturis? What kind of tragedy has befallen us, oh Lucifer, where art thou, this is your empire!’
‘I have many questions for you O great Lucifer, but I shall wait until we see you face to face at the end of the year conference, priest shall be my witness. But this is unfair, this is preposterous, this is unjust. Ah, how can you shame us after all we have done for you, how could you, Lucifer!’

There were murmurings after Salami finished.
I saw from the corner of my eyes a volturis of about 30 years; he brought out a white handkerchief and wiped his face with emphasis on his eyes.
Then he spoke.
‘What is happening to volturis? I banked all my treasures here, all my wealth, everything. My hope, they all come from volturis. Volturis is crashing down, we all need to get rid of this demon, priest save us, priest save us, give them what they want before we all die!’

‘We cannot cry like children because demons torment us, Lucifer our lord where are you?’ (a young man of about 25).

‘This is a shame on the gods, not us!’

‘Who care about the gods? Someone please help me, I am dying, this knife has chemicals, it is eating me up, I can’t move my legs, we are brothers puh-lease’ scorpion wailed in pains; his voice diminishing by every after word.

Everybody shut him a pathetic look. I could read the sincere words of their eyes
‘We are sorry we wish we can help you, but our hands are tied’

‘Priest, we cannot watch a fellow volturis die, he has given all to volturis’ the man that had sat beside him, pleaded.

‘I dreamt about this last night, I saw two pigeons spilling out fire on our empire like dragons up until the entire empire burnt to rumbles. Now I understand the dream…’ another volturis said.

‘You dreamt, oh this is evil!’

The priest calmed everyone with a wave of his hand.
‘I know that this may sound shocking to everyone. Never mind, it is initial; you will all get to understand by the way…’

‘I do not understand. How did Capon die?!’ an angry voice yelled.
He could not contain his quandary anymore. In fact, he jumped up in fury, keeping a sharp jaw towards the priest as if wanting to tear him apart.

‘Did you just awake from sleep?’ a voice rebuked him

‘Seat down and do not sound irrational, we shall get to the bottom of this’
His right hand neighbor calmed him down, drawing him back to his seat.

‘Oh these pathetic two demons, their parents must have cooked them; I see it so clearly now. They have betrayed Volturis; they have behaved cowardly. Now that it is their time to offer their children for all, they have bluntly refused by injecting them with foul spirits, we shall knock these spirit out and let them pay for their foolishness!’

‘Yes, that is true they have betrayed us, they are cowards. I never discerned that this was their plot. They love their children, rubbish and total nonsense!’

‘They have not read in the books that children are the heritage of the lord. They are fools!’

‘Oh I never thought that way, cursed children! Where are they by the way?’

‘They are not aware of the meeting, it is an emergency’

The priest waved his hand again to calm down the crisis.
‘This is not their plot.’ He began
‘These children wield spiritual energy from birth. We cannot accuse their parents for this they may not even be aware. These children went to boarding schools, we do not know what they ate there, we do not know how they wield their spiritual powers, but we know how to appease these angry spirits ruling these two beings to safe our empire from collapsing.’

He continued
‘The further they stay here, the greater the number of deaths we shall record. It can be anybody and it will continue if nothing is done. These spirits will kill if we refuse their demands and you all we be the first to die. So you better listen to me in other to save your lives.’
After a short pause-
You do not know other secrets. But we are brothers; I shall explain everything to you’

The whole room became silent. Everyone listened with rapt attention as the priest continued.

‘These children have been sent by some spirits. I know quite all right that we had chosen them. Their parents had offered them according to the constitution of volturis for our annual festival. However, as grasshoppers are to wanton boys so are we to the gods they use us for their sports.
We thought we had brought them in , and indeed you may say that we succeeded in bringing them in, but it was only the manipulation of some spirits.’

Murmurs rose up again, but died as soon as the priest continued.

‘I know that this is a strange occurrence, it is strange because it has never happened in the history of the volturis empire.’

‘On a frank note, pastor Salami’s children should be those who should wield spiritual energy or be possessed by a demons. But we had nothing like that during his time. Capon brought in his daughter, and so did other volturis. Those that could offer their children were killed and used for the same sacrifice.’

‘It had been our tradition, it had been our bond. It had been our source of our power and affluence. It had been a way of keeping the ballistic spirits of the cannibalized away from us by sending new spirits every year to help those who we had sent previously, who all work to chain the violent spirits on our behalf. But an occurrence as this had never happened and since it is happening now, then it means that the spirit of this children are so strong that they cannot be subjected to go on errands. These spirits are powerful.
In fact, all I have been saying is by the mouth of these spirits that surround them. They are speaking to me right now. I can hear them through my spiritual ears.’

‘I must tell you that the spirits in these children and around them are bent on having their way. In fact, when Solomon’s identical twin had confronted them in their room, they turned his mouth into the mouth of a vulture. In fact, I have been saying all kinds of incantation on him, but nothing has changed so far. He is in my chambers right now, only the spirits can heal him if they care’

Murmurs rose again.

The priest however continued-
‘These two children wield high resistance. Despite the fact that they are ignoramus volturis, it still did not alter anything. Rather it made them stronger than any voturis’

‘Nevertheless, in all their power and might, they have not dealt unfairly with us. I need to explain this very well, because this is the reason why scorpion will die’

Scorpion was already flat on the ground making cracking sounds. I perceived that he could no longer talk. He did not remove the knife although he said it was filled with chemicals.

‘The death of grasshopper as we all know or heard, was due to his rebellion and threat to kill our royal head, and outer cover, Pastor Salami.’

They nodded in pity.
‘Oh grasshopper, my bosom friend’ a voice spoke in pity.

‘However, the death of capon and Solomon was duly the work of Scorpion’
The priest continued.

‘Scorpion?’ they all asked puzzled, turning to scorpion.

‘I have my proof, here is a video’
He brought out his phone.

There was a projector screen behind the priest.
He turned and pointed his phone to the screen; his phone had a projector in it. It was quite amazing as his pointed phone projected the video.

The video was such a shocker; I could not say a word.
In the video I saw scorpion entering the mortuary, but because there are no cameras in the mortuary we only saw the door close, afterwards, he came out with his hands drenched in blood.
I did not know if the video was edited, or he actually went in there later on.
Everything was as magic before my eyes.

As other volturis saw it, they shouted in shock
‘You betrayer, you betrayer, how dare you murder two volturis in one night?!’

‘That is not all. He also tried to frame these two children not knowing that they are terrible people. Well I did not stab him, the spirits did out of accumulated anger’

‘O, he had always hated capon for no reason, they always had personality clashes’
A volturis began.

‘O how could you do this scorpion’ A friendly voice spoke in-between sobs

‘Oh this is possible with scorpion, but I never dreamt that a volturis would go this far’

‘Oh my god this is terrible, I knew it,I knew it! It is only a volturis that can kill a volturis. The worse that these people will do is to turn our mouth into beaks and then we shall whistle like chickens’

‘How about Scorpion that is half way dead, who stabbed him?’
A voice interjected

‘Then this is terrible!’

‘I dreamt about it, I saw a slim average height man harvesting two maize in a farm. I never traced it to a muscular man as scorpion. It is such a pity’ the voice said.
The same voice had shared the previous dream

‘He would not receive pardon, he shall die and we all shall sacrifice him for our annual festival and eat him for redemption’ the priest proposed with authority.

‘But the law of volturis says that it is a sin for a volturis to eat a volturis’ scorpions neighbor interjected.

‘But the law also said that anybody that breaks the volturis law, of which murder is one, seize to be a volturis. The very time he committed the murder, he seized to be a volturis. Therefore he is just an ordinary man’

Some nodded, while some others murmured.

‘But priest you did not tell me all these details before’ Salami asked in confusion

‘I wanted to tell the whole house together I never wanted to destabilize you this morning’

‘No I cannot wait for Lucifer’s meeting again. I will inquire before a native doctor about all these frenzy’ Salami said as he stood on his feet

‘But a native doctor practices black witch craft. The priest on the other hand practices white witchcraft along side Lucifer. He is stronger than any native doctor, if we should be realistic’ a voice proposed

‘The moment you step your feet out of this empire, you are a dead man. A trailer shall crush you and that would be the end of your existence’ Sandra threatened.
It was amazing how her sweet voice matched with a serial killer

‘What is your problem, do you think you can threaten me? Who do you think you are?’
Salami spoke angrily. I perceived traces of fear in his voice.

‘You better be calm’ Sandra advised.

‘How dare you talk to me like that, kill me for that is all you can do. Whether your spirits are everywhere carrying axes, I still do not care. But the last thing I will ever watch happen to me is to die as a coward!’

‘Maybe you want to end up like Scorpion’ She said calmly.

Another knife suspended in the air out of the bowl and started moving towards him.
He studied the advancing knife and then took a gaze of Scorpion who was writhing in pain on the floor.

I was quite sure that he did not know when the words flew out of his mouth-
‘I am sorry, I was just angry, I know you do not mean evil, please drop the knife, please, now!’
Before he finished his sentence, the knife fell back into the bowl.

‘Now what do you people want?’ he asked in frustration.

‘Loose our chains, now!’

The priest did not have to order them to loose the chains, when other volturis started asking with panic.
‘Where is the key, where is the key?’

In no time the chains were loosed, and I came down from the table to meet Sandra.
There was no love look on our faces, or that of excitement, I followed the drama it was about looking die-hard.
We stood before the altar, our hands overlapped behind us.
Everybody starred at us as if we were some aliens.

‘You should let us go’ I said, feeling like a man.

There was a moment of silence.

‘You know too much about us already’ Salami said with a sober voice.

‘You also know too much about us’ Sandra replied

‘No stay with us and become our priest, be part of volturis we will take care of you. You will have wealth, connection, power money everything you desire. You cannot leave us. It is impossible’ Salami negotiated.

‘Then this empire will fall!’

‘No it will not fall if you are part of us’

‘But we can not be part of you. Eagles do not live with chickens’ Sandra said.

‘Oh please’ Salami pleaded almost crashing to his kneels.

‘Will you stay with us, we will be great together’ the priest also pleaded.

I almost burst into laughter when I heard his suggestion, it did not sound any real to me.

But suddenly, I saw something different in his suggestion.
‘What if he actually meant what he said? What if all his actions were just to bring us into volturis. What if everything had just been a drama? Probably I am the only strange person in the scene and Sandra is part of them. Was her contract to seduce me with her beauty?
And the room scene, I could not even remember when or how I was carried out. What did Sandra do to me? Were we kept in that room to fall in love? Is this all a plan, what is happening? Was the bus arrangement also a plot? The bus was full, yet I got a back seat,
And it was beside Sandra. What is happening, gosh, what am I thinking?’

Everything started becoming strange before my eyes.


‘I still do not believe that these children have powers, where did they get it from. Have they ever been to India? The answer is no, how could they by the way.
Let the priest leave the room and let them show us their powers again in his absence. That way we will believe them and let them go’
Scorpion’s neighbor proposed.

‘No I think the girl has powers, but the boy, I do not think so. He is just a chicken that should be on our table. Let the priest and the girl go out and let the boy remain. Then he will prove to us that he has powers’

‘Please our female lord, please bare with us’

‘No the girl has no power, let them all go out’

‘Do you doubt the priest’s sincerity?’

‘No this is common sense, she may only be hacking the priest’s power’

‘And so can you hack the priest’s power? Does it take a normal man to do that?’

‘Please help me ask the irrational o’

‘Silence everybody…’ Salami began
‘I am in support. The priest should excuse us for a while; I know that the spirits would be bold and eager to prove to us that they are independent. They can give us a last sign, I do not think we are asking too much. Who is in support?’

‘You have our support!’ they replied in unison.

My heart pounded heavily.
How would we survive this final test?
Maybe Sandra indeed has the power and it is just a plot to cage me.

Just when I think that things are getting better,
Then I discover that I am but sinking deeper!

63

As I heard those subtle words of betrayal, it was as if my bile duct diverted into my heart; I could taste the horrible bitterness. How could he? How could the priest do this?

My body became as cold as those miserable bodies stored up in the mortuary. I did not know when my eyes became so clouded with tears that they poured out like a drum full of water. I tried to suppress the feelings, I tried to hold back the tears but keeping them back was as holding fire in my bosoms. So I allowed the tears to pour down I allowed them to flow as a zigzag stream up on till they kissed my neck in coldness and gathered around my head.

My face became swollen, I heard so many loud voices banging inside my head, ‘you are doomed, and this is the end!’
I did not know when I began shaking my head vigorously in refusal.

As I starred at the knife in the hand of the priest, my skin began to have a strange sensation. It was as if, a million flies were grazing the tip of my body hairs.
My skin was reacting to the touch of the knife, even before it ever came close.

Who would be the first person to die?

Suddenly-

‘Priest!’ Salami screamed as he froze in shock
‘Priest, I do not believe in ghosts!’

My tears dried as I watched the sudden drama.
All the other volturis turned right and left in shock starring at pastor Salami.

‘That girl…that girl’ he said pointing at Sandra that lay beneath me.

‘What about her?’ the priest questioned with a face of confusion.

‘It seems that all the other volturis that know about this girl is dead, what is happening? Who is she? She is not Sandra, you are the priest do not tell me that you do not know!’

‘How do you mean?’ the priest dropped the knife back into the bowl in a gesture to give him full attention.

‘Capon was the person that captured her, grasshopper was the person that brought her head to me, Solomon was the person that killed her, aside these people no body was aware of what happened that night’ he scratched his head.

‘That night? What happened that night; was there something you did not tell me?’
The priest asked curiously.
Suddenly a loud voice called out in aggression-
‘Oh you fool; the scale has just fallen off your eyes but not your brain. I am glad you know that you are the next to DIE, you will DIEEEE you will surely DIEEEEEE!’ Sandra yelled.

My heart jerked.

Everybody turned and faced her.
I could read their deepest thoughts. They wanted to rip off her flesh from her bones. However, there were uncertainties.
What if she is indeed a ghost? If our leader is scared, who are we to be bold?

There was pin drop silence. Nobody could utter a word, rather their eyes wandered confusedly, from left to right; from Salami to Sandra.

‘You see what I am saying, this girl is not a human being she is a demon!’
Salami said after a moment of shock.

(I have never seen a pastor that is so scared of demons, well that is between. ;-))

‘Tell me what happened; although I wish we had discussed it in the chambers and not have to bring irrelevant issues to scare young volturis’

‘Priest, there is no secrecy in this, our empire is tearing apart due to the exploits of this demon can you not see it. Is that not why we decided to rip of their flesh off this morning?’

‘What happened’ the priest asked again.

‘It all happened yesterday, or I wish capon is still alive’

‘But he is dead, so just continue’

‘It all started yesterday…’ he began.
‘Great volturis, please you can have your seats’
He waited for everybody to grab a seat before he continued.

‘Capon went out of the empire in the morning, after the strange call that the journey would be changed. You know that the bastard had a prize-giving ceremony to attend…’

I hoped Sandra was paying close attention, although I could not really understand her and her threat. Is she for real? Is she a demon or she is just acting?

He continued.
‘Capon just wanted to go out and so he did. However, when he came back he came with a girl.
‘He said that he had wooed her into his car and afterwards gave her a tranquilizer candy that made her sleep. That was how he sedated her and brought her in.’

‘It was strange of him, capon was not a womanizer, and probably his attempt to womanize caused his death.
When I probed into his strange act, he narrated to me on the phone that the girl was so beautiful and irresistible, tender and young.’

‘What do you want to do with her?’ I had asked him.

‘Oh, this cup shall not pass me by. I want to get into her. I want to penetrate her. It’s been long a woman made me this hard, this Hot. I want to have sex with her, oh mehn, I can’t even wait, my milk is almost dropping... ha-ha-ha
I love my sex-mates young and clean, just like her’

‘If you want to just have sex with her, why bring her to the empire, have you forgotten that our existence is clandestine?’

‘Oh not so president, I want to have her in full’

‘What do you mean by have her in full?’

‘I mean I want to consume everything about her staring from sex to her raw flesh, you know that she is so fresh, I mean so so fresh. Her skin is clean you would love it’

‘Hmmm, well what can I say?’

‘You can say bye, we will see later’

‘Capon, Capon, are you still there? Please wait’

‘Yes what is it president I am still here’

‘You said the girl’s skin is so fresh, isn’t it?’

‘Oh as fresh as the morning dew’

‘Hmmm-‘

‘Yeah’

‘Would you mind if I made a request’

‘Well let me see if it is grantable’ he said in-between laughter.

‘Okay to be precise, I will like to have the girl’s breasts and head, well, even if it is just one. You see, these days it is as if I am running out of sexual energy and motivation. I need libido strength you know’ (laughing)

‘Oh priest this is my territory, no trespass!’

‘I know, that is why it is a favor’

‘Well president, I am sorry to bounce you, but I need her breasts too. They are young and plump, as two soft puf-puffs, oh taste and see that the lord is good! Ha-ha-ha.
But I am sorry, I may spare her head, but to spare her breasts, I am sorry, that is not in my power to give’

‘Oh I wish you could just honor my request’

‘But I’m sorry that is all I can do’

‘I know and that is why I called it a wish’

(I really wanted it, although we have stock in the archives. You know there is something different in freshness. )

‘Yeah’

‘We shall see later today’

‘Yeah’



It was about nine PM yesterday when he called me back-
‘Oh president, the girl is so interesting, I bleeped and bleeped and bleeped, in fact she died in the process. Poor bi’ch, she was even a virgin’

‘Awww, not good’

‘Yeah, but not bad either’

‘Of course’ (chuckling)

‘Well her death is not a bad development because she would die after all. I will take out the parts I need and store her in the archives.’

‘Don’t forget our deal’

‘Deal sustained’
‘When I came in at midnight I at once ordered for her head, I wanted to have a tasty pepper stew, and crush some brain meat.
Capon sent grasshopper to get the head and he delivered. When I saw the head, I knew that Capon had not exaggerated anything. The girl was indeed beautiful.’

‘I took it home and my wife cooked it, we ate it this morning before coming, I even crushed her two eyes with my molar, my wife crushed her tongue, and that way we consumed the whole head in pepper stew.’

He gave a short pause.
‘Priest you would not believe that the girl I ate this morning is that girl lying there, I have never seen a cannibalized reincarnate before!’

‘See I even snapped her on my phone for record purpose’
He brought out his phone and showed the priest.
The priest nodded.

‘These days strange things happen’ the priest remarked.

‘No this is not just strange, this is evil’

‘Priest, I zipped her in the black bag which purifies the ballistic spirits she may be having while alive. You know the way it works, or priest what is happening to your powers are they beginning to fail, do you want to take a trip to India and reawake your powers?’

‘My power never diminishes or depreciates, if anything wrong happens we would probe into it. There is no power, no cult, no organization, that is stronger than volturis, and we cannot be intimidated!’
Now to everybody-
‘Or can we be intimidated?’

‘No, never, we cannot!’ they responded in unison

‘Before I make my decision is there any volturis with a suggestion or comment, we are brothers, and we need to take a common stand’ (priest)

Scorpion was the first person to shoot up his hands.
‘Thank you great priest.’ He began.
‘You have led us through hard times, through vale and heights, through caves through plains, through demons and powers that had tried to consume us.
You have predicted happenings with perfection, you have brought us thus far, we are grateful to you. You are such a gift to us’
He said as he bowed, other volturis followed.
The priest also bowed in appreciation.

‘I strongly agree with you that your powers have not failed and cannot fail, they remain with you up on till death’

‘Now concerning this strange development, I knew from the onset that these two
Creatures are nothing but demons! They have EVIL written all over their faces if you take a critical look. From the way the boy talks to the way his eyes open…’

Salami nodded. Why wouldn’t he? He had tasted of the sharpness of my mouth. ;-)

‘But I am of the opinion that we should not have discussed this in their presence, you know it sounds somehow…’ he tried to continue.

‘The deed has been done, we are asking for contribution on the deeds and not criticism of the way the deed was narrated to the audience’ the priest cut in

‘They are going to die after all’ the priest added

‘I laugh at your foolishness!’ Sandra blared ‘You fool you think you can kill me? I cannot die, only mortals can. Today, you shall die, before midnight; mark my words!’

‘Ahh!’ everybody reacted with shock.
The next moment they were all whispering something to a neighbor.

‘We cannot be intimidated, we have priest here. We cannot be intimidated!’
Scorpion rose, and others chanted after him.

Salami could not utter a word; his eyes were as dim as death.

‘This girl that is acting as a demon, what power does she even have? I strongly believe that she is only playing on us. She has a very sharp mouth and that is all, she is just a bloody mortal!’ Scorpion challenged.

‘You will die today!’ Sandra yelled.

‘Who are you to say that I will die today, are you my god?’

‘You god cleans my buttocks with his tongue!’

‘What?’ everybody shouted- Grumbling.

‘You are just blabbing, prove your power if you have one, prove it, fool!’

‘One more word from you and I will pick up that knife in the bowl and sink it into your chest’

‘You are impotent, a blabbing mortal that can do nothing!’

Suddenly the knife rose up from the bowl without hands and in the speed of light, it sunk into the side of his stomach.

‘Ahh!’ he wailed as he crashed on his knees.
‘Who the hell are you?’
Fresh blood began to spread around the wound.
The knife entered in completely, the only part left of it, was the handle.

‘You are only lucky that I did not sink it into your heart, you would have been a dead man by now’

‘Who taught you psycho kinesis?’ the priest asked curiously.

‘Its only you that have ever done it, and it was not as fast as this-’ Salami whispered to the priest, but I could read his lips.

‘No, this is not psycho kinesis; she has more than one spirit. She can separate them and do so many functions. In fact right now one of her agents are standing right beside you with a battle axe, I can see it with my spiritual eyes’

‘Jesus!’ the pastor said as he flinched in fear towards the priest.
When he caught the fearful eyes of other volturis, he kept calm.

‘Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaat do you want, o thou evil spirit sent from the pits of hell, what sacrifice did I not do?’
He screamed.

‘I am not evil; else I would have killed you a long time ago’

‘What do you want?’

‘Untie me first, this chain is annoying. And if you do not untie me and this boy atop me, I will snap out the chains and make you a hanger!’

‘Jesus!’ Salami muttered beneath his breadth.

‘Please untie her before she kills us all, I’ve never seen something like this’
A volturis suggested.

‘Would nobody attend to me, cant you see that I am bleeding?’ scorpion wailed in pains.

‘If anybody goes near that man, I will snap out his neck with my spiritual hands’
Sandra threatened.

‘ele yi o gidi gon, I said this one is strong!’ I heard a volturis whisper to a neighbor.

One cannot fathom how deep he/she will fall into sleep, when lost in the priceless warmth of a romantic lover.
And so I was waiting for the sweet dreams, the sight of butterflies jostling against each other in perfumed lavender. The purple flowers with red horns kissing each other in rhythm, as the soft gentle east wind tickle their velvet skin to a dance.

I thought I would probably see a black suit and a white gown walking down the aisle.

But strange things happen. I could not understand what sort of dream I was dreaming tied down like a sacrificial lamb on a table-altar.

But before I discovered that I was tied…
The world became a milky sight and I thought I was already seeing a white gown.
To my immediate dismay, I felt my eyes opening and then the sudden blue light of reality tore my eyes apart until I saw how miserable I had become.

I found my self in a dark room, where tiny blue bulbs struggled to conquer darkness.
Baritone sounds began to vibrate through my heart until the powerful waves diffused all over my body, shaking me to my foundations.

It was the strong baritone voice of some muscular men. They were rapped in black gowns, red mufflers hung across their necks, and a red turban tied across their brow. Their face was as strong as stone.
I turned my head left and right only to discover that these men had engulfed me.
They were about twenty in number. Without asking, I knew that this was volturis in full!

I could not contain my fear. The volturis were still circling me and chanting their strange song.

‘How did I get here?’ I whispered to my self. I could not control the swelling of my lungs and the pounding of my heart that happened concurrently.

I thought I had slept with Sandra, I thought that we had a good time. I thought we held our hands and fantasized about the future, how did everything suddenly change?
How did I get here? Where is Sandra? Where is Sandra!

I panicked trying to get off the table, but there was no way. My hands and legs were padlocked and wrangled with chains. I was pinned to the table like a criminal to the cross; separated in such a way that my body formed an X shape.

My mouth became sour, I could not pause the rush-wave of emotion that covered me as the sea tide. A hot tear splashed across my face as shook my head in refusal.

‘No, this is not happening. This cannot happen. Ah!’ I yelled.
But nobody cared, they just continued chanting their evil song and circling me.
Their faces, black with evil.

‘You cannibals if you dare touch my skin you shall all die!’
I threatened as more tear welled down my face.
But they seemed to be deaf.

More tear welled down my eyes. I could not believe that the sacrifice that had seemed a joke all this while was happening. I never anticipated death so soon. So this was the priest’s idea when he said that we should sleep. Had I know I would have kept the watch.
I never knew he could betray us so.

I cried the more.

Maybe Sandra was right about him. His hands are tied due to the murder of Capon.
He is just a cultist who cherishes his cult above anything. But where is that compassionate heart that never wanted us dead?

If indeed it was the murder that has begat so much complications then let them kill me, eat my flesh, sacrifice me to their god, but they must not touch Sandra

I began to remember the way I had fallen asleep with Sandra, how her face melted when I told her that I love her. How we played silly games, how we tried to forget the doom that was coming.
O-h Sa-n-drrrrra!
I wailed as more tear flowed down my cheeks and tickled down to the back of my neck.

I tried to look through my watery eyes to see if I could spot Sandra.
I looked between the passing men; but I saw no trace of her.

I began to recall her experience in the bush. All I could pray was that no man would try to harass her. It was not so much a possibility, because volturis was a cult where gay men made the majority.

I turned my head to the other side to check if I could find Sandra tied on a table, but the left was also clear. There was no trace.
The room was not a big one, so it was easy to look around.

It was a small room, with blue bulbs. The ceiling was simply a concrete wall painted green, which suggested a secret room.
The walls were also painted green. A red carpet spanned the length and breadth of the room. There were seats arranged to rest on the wall in a straight line, both left and right.

Ahead of me was something that looked like a table. I could not see it well because of the encircling men therefore I decided to focus on the men that were walking around. Suddenly I discovered scorpion among the men. He was looking ruthless this time. His turban made him look like a serial killer. My heart skipped a beat, I guess for defeat.
Our eyes met. I gnashed. He smiled, and formed some dumb words with his lips-
‘This is the end!’
I could not do anything I just watched him and shook my head.

As I locked my gaze on him, I heard a soft voice whisper-
‘David’
I pretended not to hear, trying to imagine where the sound could from or if it was just hallucination.
Then next second I felt the table vibrate. I froze and tried to listen.

‘David’ the soft voice called again.
I could not believe that I was hearing Sandra’s voice, but from where?

‘I am beneath you, It is a bonk table, they have captured us’

Oh Sandra! I could hear her tender voice mixed with grieve. My heart burned. I wished I could rescue her.

‘Remember the last words we said in the room’ she whispered

My heart broke with emotion
Sure I remembered those words we exchanged before we slept the sleep of misfortune.
Nevertheless, before I could reply her I heard a scream

‘WESE KWESE REE!’ a voice called

‘WEE!’ the men responded in high pitch baritone, standing at attention.

‘Horizontal two decem!’ the voice screamed again.

And like magic they formed two horizontal lines. A line of ten on my left and another line of ten on my right.

The front became clear as they took their positions. I could see a table, covered with a red cotton dress, a very big bowl on it, and a bead beside the bowl.
In front of the bowl were two tiny carved creatures. One was a boy and the other a girl.

My mouth fell agape as I saw the two men standing behind the table altar.

‘Priest, pastor Salami?’ I called out in shock.

‘You small demon now is your end, I knew what you were capable of’ Salami blared.
I could feel the anger in his voice.

It was shocking to find him around, did he not leave the empire, of how long did we sleep?
What is happening, what kind of evil sleep did I sleep, what the hell is this!

He turned to the priest,
‘Oh the fools feel heart broken they think you were on their side’

‘Poor brats and fools they are. Vain is the man that trusts in man’

He(priest) brought out a small knife from the bowl
‘Shagagboshekeye!’ he screamed as he blew air three times on the knife.
Afterwards he spat on the knife and rubbed his saliva on it.

‘Succulent parts for libido excellence!’ Salami screamed in excitement.

‘Your wish is my command’ He said as his mouth pouted into a wicked grin.

this is the height of betrayal!
i gnashed.
