ICHABOD episode 11

👹ICHABOD👹
Cursed For A 1000 Years

Chapter 11

Hours later, Vivian and Tracy were walking hand in hand towards Harmony’s car while she and Ichabod walked behind. She couldn’t st©p noticing how quiet he had become ever since the movie ended.

. She thought it was probably nothing so she decided to introduce him to her daughter and her friend.

“Hey, guys wait up. I haven’t done a proper introduction.” She said, shouting so that Vivian and Tracy would hear her. They st©pped and turned around.

“Urm, Vivian, this is Ichabod, and Ichabod, this is my best friend slash Person @ssistant slash Tracy’s godmother. Guys, this is Ichabod, my b©dyguard, and driver, he’s p@rt of the family now.”

Vivian rolled her eyes. “Seriously, now you are introducing us since morning. Anyway, nice to meet you Icky.” She said, handing him her hand.

“Nice to meet you my lady,” Ichabod said with a bow, taking her hand to hisl-ips.

“Wow! Seriously! Aren’t you a charmer.” Vivian said, blu-shing and laughing, a little bit surprised at his mode of greeting.

“Daddy!” Tracy shouted excitedly, taking everyone by surprise.

“Wow, I am honored but I really am not your daddy….”Ichabod said.

“Not you silly…” Tracy replied, laughing and pointing, “mummy look, its daddy.”

The three looked towards the direction she was pointing and that was when Ichabod saw a young man who seemed to be in his late thirties. He was all suited up, plaited hair. Good, God! When did man start plaiting their hair? Wasn’t that meant to be for the women?

He had two men behind him who looked unfriendly and were wearing dark spectacles.

“Oh, it’s Michael,” Vivian said in a low breath.

“How is my little angel doing?” Michael said as he got closer, sweeping Tracy in his hands. The little girl laughed excitedly.

Ichabod was confused, was Harmony married to this man? Yea of course, why wouldn’t she be married to him, she had a kid obviously. That would mean she had a husband. All of a sudden he could that his plan was bound to fail. His wife in another life was married to another man and had a kid. There was no way Odin would not win this battle, Ichabod could feel it alre-ady.

“Hey babe, hi Vivian,” Michael said to the other women before putting Tracy down.

“Sup Michael, long time no see,” Vivian said on purpose.

“What are you doing here Michael?” Harmony asked, looking a little bit unhappy to see him. Ichabod wondered why she was not plea-sed to see him when they were a family.

“What are you talking about?” Michael said, coming closer to k!ssher on the forehead. “Are you saying I can’t come and greet the most beautiful ladies in the world? No offense Vivian.” He added stepping further back.

“None took.” Vivian replied. “I guess I will see you tomorrow Harmony. Goodnight love.” Vivian said, throwing a k!ssto Tracy who waved at her.

“Yea, I will call you,” Harmony announced to her friend who nodded and waved at Ichabod as well. Ichabod waved back just in time to see Michael looking at him with a questioning look.

“Who is he?” Michael demanded.

“He, is none of your business Michael.” Harmony replied signaling to Ichabod to get the car re-ady. The man nodded and walked away.

“Oh, isn’t that the man on the do¢vment I saw in your bag?”

Harmony raised her brows. “Oh, you were snooping around in my bag! Michael!”

“Yea, I have to. You don’t tell me things Harmony. Besides, I need to be sure that I am comfortable with the people you bring around our daughter!”

Harmony scoffed. “Really? How daughter? I can’t believe you, Michael.” She turned to Tracy who was looking sad by the minute. “Come on let’s go Tracy.” She said as Ichabod drove to their side.

Tracy looked really sad but still looked up at his father.

“Dad, are you going to come to my Halloween p@rty?”

“Sure baby. I will be there. Just tell your mother to s£nd me all the details and…”

“Come, baby, let’s go,” Harmony ordered, lifting Tracy up into her arms as Ichabod stepped out to open t he car door for them. He waited as the door closed behind them and was about going around to get into the driver’s seat when one of the goons that had followed Michael st©pped him.

He frowned.

“Hey young, man, I believe we have no business together.”

Michael walked closer to him, now he was holding a cigar in between hisl-ips. “Actually, we do now. Those two ladies are the world to me White man and if anything happens to them, you will be roasted.

. You better not to try anything funny with my wife and…..”

“You seem more like a pig to me than a husband or a father ….” Odin grunted out loud.

“What did you just say to me….?”

Ichabod gained his control immediately. “I am so sorry. plea-se, Let me just take them home.” He said and quic-kly walked to his seat before Harmony started getting worried.

When he got into the car, he brou-ght out the bottle, put in a few drops…

“What is that?” Harmony asked behind him.

“Urm…just my medication…” He lied with shaky hands before hiding it in his inner jacket.

“Okay. I know Michael must have rattled you out. I am so sorry,” Harmony apologised.

“It’s okay.” He replied.

“I will give you the direction. Just plea-se take me home quic-kly. I need you to drive fast as carefully as you can. We need to get home before midnight.”

Ichabod checked the time behind the wheel, he also needed to get home on time because odin would come out for sure by twelve and right now, it was some minutes past eleven.

“Well, why don’t you two young ladies fasten your seat belt?”

11:35pm

“Just go in and sleep damn it!”

Ichabod cursed un-der his breath in his new room. He could still hear her pacing up and down as she walked from one room to the other room.

He could feel the way she breathed, ‘I love you’ into her daughter’s ears while she tucked her into her be-d. Even though it was like very far from his room, Ichabod could feel every movement…every whisper . His transition time was getting closer and he couldn’t control himself that much.

The bottle was in his hand and he thought of putting more drops into his ton-gue…

“You imbecile! That will be cheating! I will kill you if you try that nons-en-se!” He snarled to himself in Odin’s voice.

He snapped out of it with a de-ep grunt….

” plea-se Harmony….just go and sleep….”

**

Harmony left Tracy’s be-d and was walking out when she heard Tracy’s voice.

“Mum, plea-se make daddy come to my Halloween p@rty. I don’t want to be laughed at again.”

Harmony smiled weakly and turned around to walk back to her daughter.

“I will try my best my darling but if he can’t make it, I wouldn’t mind dressing up for you…”

“No, that was what you did the last time and people laughed at me. I want my daddy this time.

. plea-se, That’s the only way the costume will work.”

Harmony took a de-ep breath and nodded.

“I promise, your daddy will come with you. Okay?”

Tracy nodded with a weak smile.

“Now go to be-d.”

Tracy shut her eyes and Harmony switched off the light beside her be-d before walking out of her room.

11:47 pm

Harmony l@yin her tub as the soap and water floated around her. She was confused. While she was trying so h@rd to keep Michael away from their life, she couldn’t st©p seeing how much Tracy needed him and now she didn’t know what to do.

Was she being unfair?

Certainly not! She just couldn’t get hurt and she was not going to allow that psychopath to hurt her daughter’s feelings.

She remembered the previous year when she had s£nt him a message for the daughter-father Halloween p@rty in Tracy’s school. She had begged him to try and find a time to come since it would really mean so much for Tracy but he never replied the message not to talk of coming.

That buffoon!

Now all of a sudden, he just wanted to come into their life as if everything had been perfect? No way!

She stretched her hand to pick up her tab which was on the stool next to her. She unlocked the tab and went throu-gh her WhatsApp contact list.

. Then she cli-cked on Michael and she began to type.

“Her Halloween p@rty is in two days time, you better get cracking if you really want to be p@rt of her life. I will s£nd a video to you, practice the steppings and be serious with it. This is going to be your last chance. Do not mess things up!

After this she s£nt it at 11:58 pm before putting the tab away After this, she gathered herself up, picked her towel from the stool and tied it around her before walking towards the mirror.

12:00 AM

Just as the time struck 12:00 AM, sharp pain throu-gh it Ichabod’s b©dy and thankfully, he had his belt tied around his mouth to reduce ma-king a noisy grunt, The pain raced throu-gh his entire b©dy and his face twitched. A loud growl escaped hisl-ips and then his posture bec@m£ more confident and dominant.

He growled satisfactorily and in one hand, yanked off the belt around his mouth.

“n@ûghty, n@ûghty Ichabod!” He said as he walked to the mirror where he could see someone that looked exactly like him but who wasn’t him. His reflection in the mirror was that off the scared-weak Ichabod.

“What exactly were you thinking fool?” He grunted at himself in the mirror. “Do you really think you will lock me away tonight after you kept me away during the day?”

Ichabod who was in the reflection looked sober. “Don’t do anything stupid Odin”

“Oh do shut up! You are nothing but a weakling! You and I both know that I can’t t©uçh her yet!”

“Yes but we both know how clumsy and impatient you are. You can do anything to sabotage my relationsh!pwith her!” Ichabod shouted in Odin’s head angrily.

Odin thought for a while and then grinned mischievously….”wow…” He thought for a while and shrugged, “ II wish you didn’t say that. Now you just gave me an idea. Way to go Ichabod!” He said with a wi-nk before moving away from the mirror.

“Now where is your room Harmony?” He said to himself, he listened carefully and everything seemed to slow down as he listened to catch the sound of Harmony’s heart beat which was coming from somewhere in the left direction.

“Well…time for an adventure…” He said to Ichabod before proceeding towards the left direction…..

TBC…
Hmm, what are you planning Odin?
