The weary sound from the night wind could destabilize a frighten soul. It circulated the city of Ghene as a sign that a heavy night rain was about to cause a tortuous flood, even Rachael had no clue of what installed for her that night if actually the rain starts. Nevertheless, she couldn’t avert her eyes from Jimmy at the door, seeming very innocent, harmless and sorry because she wanted Jimmy to forgive her. However, the young boy had been lost in thought of what Rachael was doing at his door-step by that time of the night, admiring the continues flying of her hair by the wind.
“Uhm… won’t you tell me to come in?” Rachael interrupted the thought.
Jimmy saw in her eyes how sorry she was then accepted her like the father of a prodigal son. “Please, come in.” He opened the door widely. Immediately Rachael entered into the house, electricity was interrupted thereby giving way for darkness.
“Oh, I’m sorry. I guess it’s because of the rain that wants to fall.” Jimmy quickly located a rechargeable lamp which he put on thereby eradicating the darkness. Rachael looked around in the sitting room to see it less equiped unlike theirs. She could see family pictures below the walls of the room. At a corner, located a dining room where Jimmy put another lamp on the table then returned to Rachael who had been standing in the living room. He could see her in that black tight gown that exposed all her possible body parts as a female.
“You may sit down.” Jimmy gestured to a cushion.
“What about your parents?” Rachael asked as she was going to rest her wa-ist on the cushion.
“My mother urgently travelled to the village.” Jimmy kept standing. As a smart girl, Rachael never bothered to ask him about his father coz since he didn’t mention him, it’s enough evidence that he had kicked the bucket. “What can i offer you?” he asked, feeling his heart pounding for both fear and love for her.
“No, thanks. It’s already late.” she crossed her legs that got Jimmy’s eyes glancing at her thighs, making him have a different thought whether she was there to sed-ce him. No, it’s odd to think like that. He swiftly rushed to the dining, placed a tea cup on the dining table, added a coffee and a hot water from a flask with two cubs of sugar. He rushed back to Rachael saying. “Come to the dining. I guess the hot coffee will be good for your body due to the cold weather.”
“But I told you…”
“Please” he interrupted her.
The young girl found his attitude not only rom-ntic but also nice, wondering if it’s the same Jimmy that had her threw in a refuse bin and pushed her down at school. “Alright” she smiled as she walked to the dining table, sat down and carried the cup of coffee. She could feel the hotness both in her hand and face as the vapour escapes from it. Jimmy sat down opposite her to see her staring at him and turning the coffee with a spoon without taking a sip of it. As the lamp reflected on their faces in the silence, so as their ear drums vibrated to the sound of the wind outside that had the roof making noise in an interval.
“Tell me why you’re here by this time, Rachael.” Jimmy broke the silence.
Rachael finally sipped the hot coffee into her throat then dropped the cup. “Sincerely, Jimmy, I don’t know why I’m here.”
“Do your parents…”
“No, they are not aware. Only Antonia is.” she interrupted him thereby bringing back the silence. Jimmy watched her take another sip of the coffee. “But what do you think that will make me come here?” she added.
“Whatever thing that had your hands knocking at my door is certainly not because you want my friendsh¡p or because you love me.”
“What if I say it is?”
“Then you must be lying.”
Rachael exhaled. “Fine, you got me.” she cleared her throat. “Today is my birthday and I heard a voice calling me ‘Amaya’ twice. It’s no more a joking matter, Jimmy. You and Mr Kim called me by that same name. I want you to be sincere to me, Jimmy, what do you know?”
The boy hesitated. Rachael could see one of his fingers on the table, vibrating out of fear and his breathing rate increasing spontaneously. Surprisingly, she asked with a concerned tone, “Why are you afraid?”
Thunder struck at the moment.
Jimmy hurried up from his seat. “You have to start going, Rachael.” He said behind the chair without looking at her.
Rachael also stood up. “I’m not going anywhere until you tell me what I need to know!”
Jimmy finally looked at her and pointing fingers at her. “Go ask your parents what you need to know!” he shrieked. His voice simultaneously sounded with another thunder from the stormy weather which indicated that the night rain wasn’t far from the cloud anymore. Rachael walked to him like a humble wife in a way she gazed at his eyes to see tears falling off from them. “Because of you Mr Kim died, because of you my life has been in terror and confusion, because of you Kris was attacked by a horrible shadow. What’s your destiny among us the humans, Amaya?” Jimmy cried.
Rachael found herself shedding tears too as she was listening but couldn’t tell why. Just then, the rain escalated heavily. Rachael’s eyes changed at the moment as if possessed by a marine spirit. Jimmy was gripped by fear, so he stepped back from her, watching as she surged towards the door. “Rachael!” he went after her, but before he could get close, Rachael had left to the night rain. Jimmy tried to open the door but found it stocked by nobody. Suddenly, the rechargeable lamp went off and a woman appeared from behind. Her presence illuminated the room, though just at a close range. Jimmy thought it was an angel.
“Who are you?” he asked her unabashedly.
“Amaya is my daughter. I’m sorry for the death of your friend. I choose both of you especially you to help save your people from Amaya. She’s been manipulated to awaken the Talibans, using human blood, and she must do that as a V-rgin that’s why her life with men is unpleasant.” the woman replied.
“Manipulated by who? Why me?”
“Coz your spirit is stubborn and rude. You must save humanity and save Amaya coz she’ll die on the quest she doesn’t know.”
“How? Who’s manipulating her?”
“The Taliban among the humans. Be strong my son!” Her voice wavered then she disappeared thereby bringing back total darkness. Only then did Jimmy know he has an enemy to defeat. He saw a shadow on the wall which luckily disappeared and the light from the lamp came back. Quickly, he rushed outside to the rain to see Rachael dancing beside the road like a marine entity until two trailers from nowhere collided and fell on buildings. Explosion became the next scene on the rain, burning people alive. Rachael fell down with her eyes close but Jimmy caught her then carried her into his room, laid her on the bed.
“Rachael!” he called on her severally before she opened her eyes.
“Jimmy?” She stood up to see herself w-t. “What happened?”
Jimmy ignored her to the window where he saw fire blazing from the collision and people shouting. However the rain had stopped. Rachael joined him at the window, terrified by what she saw. “When did that happen? And why am I w-t?” she asked.
Jimmy turned to her. “I guess you’re the cause. Let’s just hope nobody saw your performance.” he replied as Rachael stared at him…
