We all trooped to the centre of the school with the principal, teachers and Pastor Ako in front. When we got to where the statue stood, Pastor Ako started to jump and flay about, like a headless chicken. And then with a hoarse voice, he raised a popular 'fire' song.
"send down faya the holyghost faya", he began
"send down faya again" the whole school joined him "the holyghost faya"
The song continued for another five minutes and I was becoming bored. Then it stopped abruptly. Pastor Ako started to pray
"every power,that is using this statue, I bind you in the name of Jesus"
"amen" chorused the students.
"I cast and bind every power working in this statue in tha name of Jesus" Pastor Ako continued.
"amen" the students answered again.
"ha", Bisi scoffed beside me," he's binding her but she's loosening the chains"
I turned to look at her
"what do you mean?" I asked.
She held my hand and drew me away from the statue
"come let's go some place where I can explain"
She led me to the library which was empty and offered me a seat.
"you know, 70 years ago, Natash was the Senior Prefect here. The principal and the teachers then thought she was an angel" Bisi began.
"Mrs Olale told me that" I interrupted her.
"but what they didn't know that she wasn't human" Bisi continued.
"you mean", I interrupted her again "she really was an angel?".
"No, dumbas.s" Bisi said, fury on her face "she was half demon"
"What!" I exclaimed
"legend has it that Lucifer mated with a mortal when he was cast out of heaven by Michael. Natash was the product of that union" Bisi told me
This was getting interesting and really scary.
"what happened then" I urged Bisi to continue
"there were 7 girls who were witches and who knew what Natash was. One night when Natash left her mortal body, the witches did a spell and killed her mortal body so Natash could not come back to it. The next morning, the school mourned the 'dead' Natash and that statue was built in her honor"
"go on, don't stop now" I pleaded with Bisi
"aren't you scared" she asked me.
"no" I lied
"okay" she continued, "Natash possessed the statue but the 7 witches imprisoned her in the statue. There was one thing though; one of the witches made a breach in the spell that imprisoned Natash in the statue. She said only a male student of RoseMary high would be able to release Natash from her bondage. Her friends agreed with her because they thought it would be impossible for a boy to be admitted in this school. They were so wrong" Bisi finished her tale.
"you're lying" I told her "how come you know so much about what happened before you were born"
"because I am a witch too" she replied
"you're joking, right?" I asked.
She shook her head and then started to change before my eyes. Her hairs on her head changed to silver gray and her eyes sunk into their sockets, leaving it empty. Her skin shriveled and dried up. The figure standing before me was a very old woman and not the Bisi I knew
what have I gotten into, I thought.

guys,u wud nt bliv dat i hav nt bin able to browse wit ma phone 4 d past 4 days.etisalat na dey try at all.aniways,make i try continue the story

i want to know if i'm wasting my time or not.is the story interesting?. If there are no answers,i'm going to stop posting updates

I got to my room, panting heavily. I dove under the blanket and covered myself tightly. I closed my eyes and wished for morning to come. Some minutes later, I felt a presence in the room. I opened my eyes and pulled the cloth from my head. I was staring into the eyes of Natash.
"dah!", I screamed and jumped off the bed, hitting my ass on hard floor. Then I woke up from my dream. I was on the floor (I must have jumped from the bed) and sweating profusely. I scanned the room for any sign of Natash. There was none.
Did I really wake Natash up?, I don't know. I don't remember. I walked to my window and looked out towards the statue of Natash. The thing was, Natash wasn't there. I could see because of the moon light. I wondered where the moon had been the first time.
When I noticed Natash wasn't there again, I ran under my bed covers again and didn't come out till it was dawn. I got ready for school and went to the assembly ground for morning prayers.At the assembly, Mrs Olale made a saddening announcement.
"one of our student died last night", she said,"it was a horrible thing".
I shuddered.Who would kill an innocent student, I thought.
"her friends said it was the statue that killed her", Olale continued,"so I've brought a pastor to pray against that statue". A skinny looking man, who was dressed poorly, introduced himself as Pastor Ako.
"we are going to bind whatever that is controlling that statue in Jesus name" he said.
"Amen!" thundered the school.
"want to know how the girl died?" a voice said to me. It was Bisi.
"how" I asked
"Natash brought out her heart from her chest and ate it" Bisi said evily.
A chill ran down my spine.

purpinkx,thanks.i wud continue 2moro

We got to a class. A young man was teaching Biology.
"Ogbu,here is your new student", Olale said to him.
"but he is boy and this is a girls' school" Ogbu replied.
"I know that" Olale said. Then she started to walk towards her office.
"young man, come in", Ogbu said to me,"go and sit with Bisi". I walked in. Bisi was sitting alone at the extreme right of the class.
"hi", I said when I sat next to her. She turned and looked at me like I was insignificant and then turned away.
"what's your name, young man" Ogbu's voice called out.
"Maximus" I answered.
"well, Maxim",he said,"welcome to school"
This was my introduction to the school.
Few weeks later, I became friends with some girls. I was even dating someone in SS3 C(I was in SS3 B). Her name was Lily. My only problem was with Bisi.She still wouldn't be friends with me.
One night, I couldn't sleep and I couldn't read my books either so I took the torch my parents gave me and started to walk towards the center of the school. It felt like the statue was calling me and I had to answer. When I got to where it stood,I shone the torch below the statue and saw the words 'Senior Prefect Natash Delanie'. There were some other words that I had not noticed before. The words read 'Seraele Eth Hascin Atht Dibn Em'.
After saying those words,the air became extra-ordinary cold.
"you've released her.Nice", that same shrill voice said. When I heard that voice, I ran like a mad man back to the male teachers quarters.

My stay in Rosemary High did not turn out to be fun as i had thought it would be.When we came to the school for my admission,the principal was glad to hear that I wanted to school in RoseMary High.
"isn't this an all girls school," Dad asked the principal.
"it is",she replied,"but your son would do just fine".The principals name was Mrs. Olale.
Mum and Dad later left,but they promised to bring some clothes for me later.Mrs Olale took it upon herself to give me some orientation about the school.She told me when it started,who started it and blah blah blah and then she took me round the school.I was shown the library,the laboratories and the staff room.Next,Mrs Olale led to where she referred to as the centre of the school.It was just an open field,a small one though.There was a statue in the field.The statue 'wore' a white shirt on a blue skirt with white socks and brown sandals.
"she was the first senior prefect",Mrs Olale told me.I wanted to ask how she knew that.
"my grandmum schooled with her," she replied and I wondered if she could hear my thoughts. I moved closer to the statue and saw these words "Senior Prefect Natash Delanie".
"she was a nice girl",Olale continued,"and she graduated as the best student in her time".
"she lies" a voiced hissed.The voice was tiny and shrill,like that of a frail old woman.I turned around to see if someone was in the field with us.There was no one.I decided that my mind must have pulled a trick on me because Mrs Olale didn't show she had heard a voice.
"what's that look on your face" she asked me.
"I don't know",I replied,"I thought I heard a voice".
She looked around.
"there's no one here" she told me,"come let me take you to your class".We went to my class but not before she showed me a building opposite the statue.
"that's the male staff quarters",she said,"that's where you would be staying through out your time here"
I hope I won't be gangraped by some randy males at night,I thought as we walked towards the classes.

izukwu,i saw it.Jagaban,i go try improve on my written english .

So The Story Begins


You know,I don't know why my parents brought me to this school.I mean it's an all girls school and I'm a boy!.Well,I dont really blame them.They were trying to help me.I used to attend a military school but my parents withdrew me because I had engaged in a fight with a classmate.This particular classmate,Biggy was his name,was a bully.Just like his name,Biggy was a huge and took delight in beating his classmates.It pained me cos we were in SS3 and he had 5 classes of student to beat.I just couldn't fathom why he would beat his own classmates.Our fight was like the biblical david and goliath fight.He,being goliath and I,David.
Like David,I won and it was a victory for everybody.The commandant then asked my parents to withdraw me,saying I was a threat to the school.Me!.I was only five feet three inches.I had such a little body.I mean,why would anyone call me a threat?
Anyways,this all girls school was called RoseMary High.It was a boarding school too.I know I'm going to be the only boy in the school.I think it's going to be fun.
By the way,my name is Maximus but you can call me Max or Maxim or Mus or Maxi or Xim or....you get the drift.

guys,i'm thinkin of a story. would update wen i finish thinking of it.

"What do you mean,'The house has no owner' ",Peter said,"somebody must have built this house"
"yeah,yeah,someone did build the house but he has been dead for over 5 decades" Jack replied.
Peter didn't want to continue asking about The House.Lifting one of the axes,he asked Jack "What are these for?"
"me thinks this house is haunted" Jack started to reply.
"you mean,like ghosts" Peter interrupted.
"no,like vampires"
Peter looked dumbfoundedly at Jack.
"there are no such things as vampires",he said at last,"even if they were,they don't exist in Nigeria".
Jack shook his head and started to say something when Emeka appeared in front of Peter.
"guy",he thrusted his phone at Peter,"just dial the number wey dey dia".
"which number",Peter asked.
"the number when that old man giv u.i bin cari the paper.dial am",Emeka replied
"why",Peter asked again.
"just dial am",Emeka insisted.
Peter did so.Five seconds later,a female voice said "The person you are trying to call is currently dead".
There was a shocked look on Peter's face as he brought down the phone to his laps.Jack shook his head again and said "let me tell something lads,all who come to The House,do not leave it alive"..He went to join the others that were playing a game.Emeka went too but Peter sat there,thinking of what Jack had said.
All who come to The House do not leave it alive.

mudi,do not lose any nuts oh.HBG,i dont do gory.aniways let me try update the story

"Come in",said a voice from the inside.Peter pushed open the door and the five of them walked into a very spacious parlour.There was a mini bar at the far end of the parlour and the stair case was just beside the bar.
A man sat there(at the bar) drinking.Peter guessed his age to be about 35.A pair of ax or axes(i no too sabi english)were on the table where he drank.Two other guys were playing a soccer game.Emeka,Chidi,Oluchi and Tina went to join them and Peter went to meet the guy at the bar.
"Travellers, eh?"the guy said when Peter got near.
"Not really",Peter answered,sitting on an empty chair,"we were going for a party.Our car broke down just outside your house.Thanks for letting us stay.
"The house isn't mine",the man said,"by the way,i'm Jack."
"I'm Peter",Peter responded,"where is the owner of the house let me thank him or her".
"You don't get it,do you?.This house has no owner"
