Episode 5
Mazi paced about the living room in deep thought. He just arrived from his trip and his daughter Kim had narrated her ordeal to him. It was indeed mysterious, he couldn’t bring himself to imagine that his late wife was appearing and hunting her own daughter!
“Kimberly, I can’t believe this. Am trying so hærd not to”He spoke.
Kim who had been sitting on the sofa in deep thoughts spoke up “Dad, I don’t want to believe it too but it’s true. I saw her clearly twice and was even hospitalized because I fainted”
“Hmmmmm”He sighed
“You know what, calm your nerves down, I promise to get to the root of all these ok?”
Kim nodded and headed to her room while Mazi slumped into the sofa thinking.

Mr Nworah had taken his daughters to a hotel and checked in. Although he had no money on him to pay for the hotel because he left everything in his house, he was still allowed in because of his affluence.
Going into the room, Presh and Kaylan sat on the bed.
None could express how they felt in words.
“We’ll stay here till am able to fathom what to do OK?”Nworah said
“OK..”They chorused.
None of them were with their phones and they knew sooner, they had to face the hunted house so as to get their belongings at least.
“I need to call Williams, am sure he must be worried about me now because he must be calling my phone”Presh said
“You can go downstairs and look for a way to contact him”Kaylan suggested.
Presh nodded and headed downstairs.
She met the receptionist and begged to use her phone for few minutes. She had William’s number off heart so she dialed it.
It rang for sometime before he picked up.
“Hey babe, it’s Presh!”
“Jeez! Sugar, you got me worried.. I’ve been calling your line but you’ve not been picking up”
“I know. Something happened this morning so we left”
“We? Who? And left to where?”
“Come to World Class hotels immediately. I’ll be waiting for you in the reception. I’m calling with the receptionist’s number”
“OK.. Hold on tight there! I’ll join you ASAP”
the line went dead and Presh handed it over to the receptionist with thanks.
She say down on one of the reception seats with her hand on her chin as she began thinking.
She wished it was all a bad dream.. She was lost in thoughts when someone tapped her shoulder. She looked up and saw an unfamiliar face. A man.
“I’m sorry if I startled you but I wish to talk to you for some minutes”The strange man said
She was in no mood to talk
“Please I have alot on my head and I can’t spare you the chance to add more. just kindly leave me alone, am not in the mood to talk”She snapped at him
“But it’s important I talk to you!”He said
“Will you f–k off Mister? Like get the f–k outta here! Am not in the mood to talk!”She scre-med.
The security men around had to come and ask the man to leave her alone.
“That is why you will never know peace, that is why you’ll continue being hunted.. Idiot!”The man snapped angrily before leaving the reception hall.
Imagine..what nonsense! Presh thought aloud.
Few minutes later, Williams arrived and took her to the hotel bar where they could stay and talk.
“Sugar, what is going on?”He asked curiously
“My mum is dead!”Presh said as tiny drop of tears descended from her eyes.
For a minute, Williams was mute, he was shocked. Then gave a short laugh “You’re kidding right?”
“Kidding? How would I joke with something like that? She was murdered this morning. Butchered like an animal”
“Oh my God! I can’t believe it”Williams exclaimed
Presh proceeded to explain how her beheaded head spoke and her legs chased them. Williams laughed uncontrollably getting Presh really angry.
“What’s funny?”She asked angrily
“How can you say something like that? Are we in some sort of movie? A butchered leg ran after you and the head spoke? Come on! That only happens in movies..”
Presh sighed. She had no more strength to explain anything.
“Am sorry for your mum’s death but hey! I think you all are taking this to the limit. I don’t see how a dead person would speak. You all need to go back to the house and bury your dead.”
“You are just talking like this because you were not there..”
“You know what? You’ll follow me to your place so I can get your phones and clothes for you all pending when you will be ready to go back home”Williams said
“I’d advise you not to go there.. And am not going anywhere with you”
“Come on!”Williams persuaded her and she finally agreed and without going in to inform her Dad and sister, she zoomed off the hotel with Williams in his car.
+++++++++++++++
They arrived the compound and it was awfully quiet. Presh was behind Williams holding his shirt in fear. Williams on the other hands, urged her not to fear because he was with her.
Slowly, he opened the door and indeed the wh0le sitting room was messed up with stale blood. The body of the dead woman was nowhere to be seen.
“Who must have taken the body?”Presh asked
“Let’s quickly go in and take your stuffs”
They went to Presh’s room and collected her clothes, phone and personal stuffs.. Went to Kayla’s room, did same and her Dad’s room also.
Going the staircase, they heard a rumbling sound in the kitchen area like someone was cooking with the gas cooker.
“Who’s there?”Presh whispered into fear.
“Let’s go and we see”Williams said
“No please.. Let’s run out of here now”She cried dragging him back
“Let’s go and see who..”
“Lunch is served, come and join me”The voice of Felicia was heard.
Presh held unto Williams tighter “Let’s get out of here Williams!!”She scre-med
Lo and behold, before them was the dangling head of Felicia hanging on the air without the body smiling broadly as blood was all over her face.
Hot urine escaped from Williams trouser and he fainted!
Presh scre-med loudly as she dragged the bag and ran out of the sitting room.
“Don’t run away from me my daughter! I made you lunch!!”The head of Felicia said following Presh who was running.

Pastor Taiwo woke up and saw the Helen asleep by his side. He smiled. He couldn’t explain how he felt. Last night was literally the best day of his life as he had the best s€× ever. He vowed to keep her Coolval stories.
He went into the hotel bathroom to shower. When he was done, he came into the room and found Helen already awake.
“Good morning Angel”He said smiling broadly
Helen yawned ignoring his greeting
“I’m hungry”She said
“OK.. What would you like to eat so I can order for it”He said
“Omelet, bread and hot tea”She said
Quickly, Taiwo placed a call to the hotel kitchen and ordered for it.
“It’ll be here soon my Angel”He said
She nodded.
“Uhm.. I want to talk to you about something”
She urged him to speak
“I want you for keeps. I’ve fallen in love with you. What can I do to own you permanently?”He asked
She smiled “I want 500k for starts”
“Done”He replied “Cash, cheque or transfer?”He asked seriously
“Cash preferably”
“Alright. Let me quickly call my P.A”
He placed a call to Jah’shield and he came in few minutes later.
“Boy, I want you to go to the bank and make a withdrawal of 500,000naira and bring it here to me”
Jah’shield was surprised
“I’m sorry to ask but what for?”
“I want to give it to my sweetheart here”He pointed at Helen who was smiling sheepishly.
“Uhmm.. Can I see you alone for a moment sir?”
“Anything you want to say, say it here.. I and her are one now”taiwo smiled.
Confusion was an understatement to how Jah’shield felt at that moment. What could have happened to Pastor Taiwo? He asked himself inwardly.
“Sir, I’ve paid her already. You don’t need to give a pr-stitute more than her pay!”He said
This enraged Helen who stood up and faced Jah’shield.
“Who did you call a pr-stitute?”She asked angrily
“You of course.. Or what are you? didn’t I pick you up from the ashawo stand? Now you want to use your juju to collect 500,000 naira from My boss? lai lai, it can never happen.. Now gather your rage and leave here now!!”Jah’shield said in anger.
“Shut up your mouth!”Taiwo scre-med at him
“Just hold on let me handle this”Helen said to Taiwo
“OK baby”He replied and sat down.
Jah’shield was shocked. He couldn’t explain what was happening.
“Call me a pr-stitute one more time and see what I’ll do to you”
Jahshield laughed “A pr-stitute..thats what you..”
He didn’t finish his statement when she lifted him up with just one hand and landed him on the ground. He fell hærd on the floor and his head bursted open as blood gushed out.
Pastor Taiwo gaped in shock.
Helen went over to her bag and brought out an axe which she used in opening his head and with her hand, she brought out his brains and put into her mouth as she chewed in happiness..
“Delicious.. You want some?”She asked Taiwo who shook his head in the negative
“No.. You must taste it… We are one now, anything I eat, you eat too”She said as she used her axe to scatter his head and gave a large chunk of it to Taiwo.
“Eat.. You’ll like it”
Taiwo was already in tears as he put the meaty flesh into his mouth and began chewing…
