Present time

Leila slid to the floor and closed her eyes, her world had crumbled right before her eyes and there was nothing she could do to stop it.

Hers was a world built on pain and sorrow, a world of deception & rejection.

The pain she was feeling was more intense than anything she had ever experienced. The pain burned like acid rain.

Her heart ached badly and her head throbbed really hærd. Tears were rushing down her cheeks, she could no longer hold in the pain she felt.

Jada rushed over to her sister who was crying on the floor, she pulled her into her arms and let her cry on her shoulder.

Everything felt like a dream it was hærd to believe that her parents would sacrifice her sister to the dark world in a bid to save Alfred, couldn’t they have found another way of handling the situation at hand.

Leila cried loud, she cried and cried till she couldn’t cry no more.

Abby had never seen her daughter like this her tears had always been silent, she had never given a voice to her pain.

Seeing her daughter this broken made her heart ache but yet again she was caught between a rock and a hærd place, her son was lying lifeless on the floor and her daughter was weeping over the Injustice that had taken place.

Abby loved both her children but she knew she couldn’t have them both she had to sacrifice one to save the other. It was either Leila or Alfred.

If Leila married the spirit she could still find a way of getting rid of it perhaps, but if she refused to marry it, it meant that her son would lose his life.

Daniel on the other hand watched in silence as his daughter wept, he had no regrets about what had done, there was no way he could have allowed his son to be struck by madness, he did what any sane person would do in that situation.

Leila pulled away from her sister after some time then she stood up.

She looked at her parents, pain and anger in her eyes.

‘Hun!’ her mother said

‘Don’t! Just don’t say anything mother I understand perfectly. Alfred is a king he is the favored child, the one you would sacrifice your lives for. Some of us are worthless and we are unloved, I understand you don’t have to say more.’

‘Don’t talk like that,’ her mother said

‘I hope you will survive after your favored son dies,’ she said

‘What’s the meaning of that?’ Her father angrily asked

‘I saved your son once, I am not doing it again he can die for all I care.’

‘Don’t you dare utter such nonsense,’ her father said annoyance clear in his voice.

Leila laughed, ‘I can’t wait to see the look on your face when Alfred is pronounced dead,’ she said before she rushed off to her room.

Once in her room, she grabbed her suitcase and threw it on the bed then she started packing her clothes she wasn’t going to spend another night in a house where she was unwanted, she was better off living on the streets.

‘Where are you gonna go?’ Jada worriedly asked when she found her packing.

‘I don’t know but all I know is that I need to leave this house Jada.’

‘Okay, let me drive you to Chibuye’s house I am sure he won’t mind.

‘Okay,’ she zipped her luggage closed when she was done.

‘Ready,’ Jada asked

‘Yes, I will call you if I need anything else.’

‘Okay.’

Leila picked her handbag and Jada helped with the suitcase as they walked downstairs.

‘What’s the meaning of this?’ Her mother asked her

‘I am leaving, I am sorry I can’t continue living under the same roof with people like you. With everything you have done to me, i can’t trust you.’

‘You are going nowhere,’ her mother said

‘Try to stop me,’ Leila walked past her mother

‘Daniel do something, we can’t allow her to leave.’

‘Daniel laughed, ‘let her leave, she will be back,’ he said

Abby tried to pull the suitcase from Jada’s hand but Jada pushed her so hærd she fell to the ground.

‘Touch me again, I swear I will show you flames,’ she yelled

Jada turned to Leila, ‘Let’s go.’

The two headed for the door and pushed it open and they closed it shut on their way out.

Jada placed the suitcase in the trunk of the car and slammed it shut then they both got into the car. None of them said anything to the other for several minutes but as they neared Chibuye’s house, Jada broke the silence by saying,

‘I think I know what you should do to break this spell,’ she said

‘What!’ Leila asked almost immediately

‘You have to break your V-rginity if you aren’t pure the spirit will have no option but to lose its hold on you.’

‘Jada, what sort of suggestion is that?’

‘The spirit wants you pure because he wants to be the first one to break your V-rginity that way you and him shall forever be connected.’

‘Owen died because of me I don’t want another person’s blood on my hands.’

‘Well you could take a risk.’

‘I am just so scared and confused Jada.’

‘Just think about it.’

‘Okay.’

The car stopped in front of Chibuye’s house, Jada stepped out and helped Leila with her luggage, she pushed the gate open and they walked towards the door.

‘Hello,’ she pushed the door open

‘Leila! Jada!’ he exclaimed, ‘Come in,’ he led them to the living room.

‘I need a place to stay until I figure out my next move,’ Leila said

‘You are always welcome but what happened?’

‘A lot happened this night, my parents just confirmed they married me off to a spirit, I will tell you the rest later,’ she threw herself on the couch.

‘Okay.’

‘I think I better get going, take care of this girl for me,’ Jada told Chibuye.

‘I will protect her with my life,’ he laughed

‘I will hold you to that,’ Jada laughed too

‘Are you going home?’ Leila asked her sister

‘Nop, I will spend the night at my boyfriend’s house I also need time to process everything.’

‘Okay please do take care of yourself sis.’

‘I will,’ she smiled

She k-ssed her sister good bye before she finally left.

*

They were cuddled up on a couch like a cute couple watching a movie.

‘Are you okay?’ He asked

She shook her head, ‘Yes.’

‘You seem to be lost in thoughts.’

She sighed, ‘I am thinking about something Jada said.’

‘Care to share.’

‘It’s just something crazy,’ she laughed

He faced her, ‘Let’s hear it.’

‘Do you like me?’ she asked

‘Where is that question coming from?’

‘Like are you attracted to me, would you have s€× with me if I offered myself to you?’

‘Leila?’

‘You know what, just forget it.’

‘No, tell me what’s bothering you.’

She hesitated for a while before responding, ‘I want you to make me yours, make love to me Chibuye,’ she said desperately

‘Huh!’ he looked at her in disbelief

‘I said make love to me Chibuye, take my V-rginity, make me yours.

Chibuye was unable to respond, he liked Leila a lot but this wasn’t her. She was acting strange.

The wind howled through the trees, a streak of lightening flashed in the dark.

He stood in the middle of the road clad in a long black hooded robe. His eyes were glowing red spheres in the darkness.

Underneath that hood he was filled with rage and anger, he was ready to kill for her, he loved her this much, there was no way he was going to allow a man to take away her purity when he had waited this long, war had just been declared. He was going to hurt her where it hurt the most.

*

She was driving at high speed while humming to the song which was playing on the radio she needed the distraction because she had a lot on her mind.

As the car turned onto the small road that led to her boyfriend’s house, the dark figure walked up in front of her. She slammed on her breaks and stopped.

A fear of panic grew in her as it made direct eye contact with her, she knew who the figure was though she hadn’t expected to have encounter with it.

She tried to put her car into reverse to get away from the figure but the car wouldn’t budge, it felt like the wheels had sunk into the ground.

The figure watched her frustration before he released a loud mocking laugh.

‘What do you want from me?’ she asked her voice shaking

‘You!’ he pointed at her.

Next she heard her car door open and the figure rolled onto the other seat; it grabbed her hand and held it tightly.

When icy cold hands grabbed her arm, Jada scre-med out in fear.

‘Don’t waste your time scre-ming, no one will hear you,’ he said

‘Are you tired of tormenting my sister you are now coming after me, get the hell away from me,’ she yelled.

‘Young girl shut the hell up.’

‘We don’t belong to you can’t you just get it?’

‘Shut the f–k up.’

‘Don’t even shut me up, just let me go,’ she tried to yank her hand from his.

He angrily squeezed her hand before he spat a blast of flames in her face.

Jada scre-med her lungs out when she felt her face burning.

‘Stop please stop,’ she pleaded

‘Oh so now you are begging me,’ he laughed

‘Please! It hurts,’ she cried

‘Oh it hurts,’ the figure imitated her before laughing out hysterically, he loved to be in control, he loved tormenting humans and putting them in their places.

After a few minutes of crying she passed out from the intense pain.

He took one last at her before he flew out of the car.

*

‘Please,’ she pleaded

‘Leila I don’t think that’s a good idea,’ he said

‘Make love to me please, help me break this spell,’ she said desperation written all over her face.

‘No.’

‘Am I not attractive enough, you don’t even have to look at me, you can pretend you are having s€× with someone else.’

She couldn’t begin to understand how much he wanted to have her but the circ-mstances weren’t so favorable, she was vulnerable and he didn’t want to take advantage of her, he didn’t want her to have regrets when it was too late.

‘I do like you….,’

‘But,’ she cut him short

‘I just can’t, not under these circ-mstances.’

‘Okay,’ she stood up

He looked at her he could fill the hurt of rejection she was feeling.

He held her hand, ‘You are putting me in a tight position Leila.’

‘Are you attracted to me or not?’

‘Yes I am.’

‘Then we have nothing more to talk about.’

She undressed slowly in front of him and stood there unclad.

He looked her nude body and swallowed deeply, she looked incredibly s€×y.

‘Please make me yours,’ she pleaded once more

Finally he couldn’t hold himself any longer, he gave into her advances. He stood in front of her and k-ssed her softly and gently as he led her to the bedroom once in the bedroom, he picked her up and placed her on the bed.

Leila shyly looked up as he undressed she wanted the ground beneath to swallow her. This was the first time she was seeing a unclad man.

He laid his unclad body on top of hers and started k-ssing her.

mo-ns of pleasure escaped her l-ips as he deepened the k-ss he was taking her to another level of ecstasy. He made her feel things she hadn’t known she could, then she parted her legs welcoming him, she couldn’t wait any longer.

‘Make me yours’ she breathed

‘You are sure about this,’ he whispered staring deeply into her eyes

She nodded her head.

Just as he was about to shove himself in,side her, a loud high pitched angry voice echoed and the door of the bedroom blew open.

And the air had suddenly become eerily still.

‘How dare you show your uncladness to another man? You have defiled yourself Leila and for that you must face the consequences.’

‘And you, I warned you to stay away from her but you didn’t.’

‘You have injured me, you have broken my heart,’ he yelled once more, anger evident in his voice he had surely come for vengeance.

Leila hang on to Chibuye as she trembled with fear, Chibuye on the other hand didn’t know how to respond, how could he even call out the name of God when he was butt unclad on top of Leila about to fornicate, he was ashamed.

There was an awkward silence for a few minutes.

Then all of a sudden, Chibuye was lifted off the bed by a force he couldn’t see, he was spin around in the air for a few minutes before being slammed to the ground.

‘Chibuye!’ Leila scre-med, she wanted to run after him but she couldn’t move.

A quick glance at the corner of the room revealed the dark figure.

He walked towards Chibuye and grabbed him as if he weighed nothing throwing him up the air. As his body fell back to the ground, Leila scre-med out in fear, she was afraid the figure was going to kill Chibuye.

His strength was getting weaker and weaker as the figure repeatedly kicked tossed him up and down.

‘Please don’t kill him,’ Leila pleaded

A loud laugh erupted through the room, ‘I will not kill him, at least not yet.’

‘Please,’ she pleaded

‘Your wish is my command,’ he laughed once again

Then he left Chibuye lying almost lifeless on the floor and walked to the bed, it was time to deal with Leila the best way he knew how to.
