Three days later

That’s how long it had been since Chibuye had last seen the dark figure though he had not told Leila about his experience because he didn’t want to worry her.

It was a cold but bright afternoon Chibuye had just finished getting dressed, he was meeting up with Leila and Jada at Lord of Fire ministries.

Chibuye was hopeful the Prophet would set Leila free from the dark figure.

After saying a short prayer, Chibuye picked his car keys up and walked out to the car. He called Leila before he started off just to be sure she had started off too, they didn’t want to miss their time with the prophet, once he started the healing and deliverance service they would not be able to meet him.

The entire drive to the church took about thirty minutes, when Chibuye stepped out of the car he s₱0tted Leila by the entrance.

He locked his car doors and walked over to where she and Jada were standing.

‘Hey babe,’ he k-ssed her cheeks

‘Hey yourself stranger,’ she gave him a warm smile, somehow seeing him made her feel a wh0le lot better, though she was very nervous.

‘Hey darling,’ he stretched his hand forward to greet Jada with a hand shake.

‘Hello,’ she extended a hand to him and they exchanged greetings.

‘You are ready?’ he asked

‘Ready.’

He took Leila gently by the hand and they walked in, the Prophet wasn’t yet in when they walked into the prayer room but they found people setting up the place in preparation for the service.

‘He is going to be here shortly,’ one of the members assured them.

‘Thanks,’ Leila and Jada responded in unison.

They waited thirty minutes before the prophet finally arrived. The prophet was a tall slender man with a high forehead and a neatly trimmed beard. He wore a navy blue suit with a white shirt underneath.

‘Welcome papa,’ one of the members welcomed him with a smile she took his small briefcase from him and placed it on the table.

‘Thank you Maria, how are you?’ Prophet Joachim asked, his voice was rich and mellow.

‘I am blessed Papa.’

‘And how is your son doing?’

‘He is doing very fine papa, he is even able to eat now, thank you for your prayers,’ she said, a wide smile spread across her face.

‘We bless the name of God,’ he responded

Just then his quick glance darted to Leila and her crew he whispered something in Maria’s ears before he walked towards them.

‘He is coming over here,’ Chibuye announced & the trio instantly stood up.

Leila was quiet nervous, her feet were weak she could hærdly stand straight and the awful feeling in the pit of her stomach wasn’t helping matters.

Chibuye held on to Leila’s hand and squeezed it, assuring her that all would be fine.

‘Prophet!’ Jada exclaimed with a warm smile, she extended her hand to him.

‘You must be Jada,’ the prophet shook the extended hand.

Jada & the prophet had talked on the phone prior to this but this was the first time they were physically meeting.

‘This my sister Leila and this is her friend Chibuye,’ Jada said

Prophet Joachim glanced at Leila and gave her a long stare. Leila was covered in darkness, he took two steps back.

He looked at her again and this time her eyes were looking into his so deep, they were glowing red like a flame of fire.

A look of confusion wrinkled Leila’s face she didn’t understand why the Prophet was acting like he had seen a ghost.

‘Who are you and what do you want here?’ He managed to ask.

‘Prophet, this is my sister Leila the one I told you about, she …….,’

‘I wasn’t talking to you sister Jada,’ he cut her short.

‘I am Leila and I am here to seek answers concerning the strange dreams I have been encountering.’

‘I am sorry I can’t be of help to you, you will have to leave.’

Leila felt her heart sink, ‘Please prophet you are our only hope.’

‘Please,’ Jada got down on her knees and held on to his trousers.

‘You have to help us papa please.’

He kept quiet for a moment, the spirit that was holding Leila in bondage was very fierce but sending Leila home would make his flocks question him, maybe he could try and put up a fight using his powers, who knows he could be able to defeat the figure and win some more souls to his church.

He cleared his throat, ‘God is in control, it is well I will help you,’ he said.

‘Thank you very much,’ Jada stood up.

‘You two can remain here, while I attend to her,’ he told Jada and Chibuye.

‘Okay,’ said Jada.

He led Leila to a small room that looked like an office.

‘How often do you pray Leila?’

She smiled, ‘I don’t pray, I don’t know how to.’

He held Leila’s hand then he closed his eyes and began chanting something under his breath.

‘You are a daughter of darkness Leila, the dark figure torments you only because you belong to him, he has watched you since you were still in your mother’s womb, your parents gave you to him even before you were born.’

‘I don’t understand.’

‘Your parents should be the ones to tell you the truth.’

‘Can’t you do anything to help me I want to be free from this dark figure?’

He took off his jacket & hung it on the chair then he loosened his tie and rolled up his shirt sleeves.

‘The battle lines have been drawn, tuu! ka fo la ta!. It is well Leila.’

He took a step closer to her, he was about to place his hand on her head when he felt a sudden shattering chill, the prophet instantly withdrew his hand. He took a glance at Leila, he saw something else- a creature that looked like something out of a horror movie was staring back at him.

He stumbled backwards out of fear, ‘Blood of Jesus!’ He scre-med

‘I command you to leave now in the name of Jesus.’

A sudden loud ripple of laughter echoed through the small room.

‘Out in the name of Jesus,’ the prophet said feigning brevity.

‘Empty words Joachim, empty words, do you even believe in this Jesus?’ A voice said out loud,

Both Leila and the prophet looked around to see where the voice was coming from but there was no one in the room besides them in the small room.

‘You don’t scare me oh you agent of darkness, I command you to leave now.’

The Prophet was trying to act tough though deep down he was freaking out.

‘You don’t want to go this path with me, abort this useless mission and let my Queen go home,’ his deep rough voice spoke

‘She isn’t a Queen and she doesn’t belong to you.’

‘Joachim, you honestly want to use those small powers to fight me?’

‘I serve a powerful God your powers are no match to his.’

‘You can barely stand, your legs are trembling & you think you can fight me?’

‘Agent of darkness be gone in the name of Jesus.’

‘Let no man put asunder that which darkness has joined together?

‘I don’t belong to you, can’t you see I don’t love you, I am terrified of you.’

‘Queen of darkness, love of my life accept that which you cannot change.’

‘I can never be your queen you evil force, be gone now.’

‘You are mine,’ he yelled out casting a big wind to start up in the room.

Leila stood frozen, she was overwhelmed by fear.

‘Father in the name of Jesus, I ……,’ the prophet began to pray but he was cut short, though, by a very intense pain on the left side of his face.

‘Oh, Lord!’ He scre-med.

‘You want to challenge me, Joachim you dare challenge me?’

‘I am not afraid of you,’ he said, he wasn’t ready to give up the fight just yet.

All of a sudden the room became very cold and dark.

The prophet’s eyes grew wide in terror as the figure appeared from the corner of the room.

The dark figure looked at the prophet before he started approaching Leila, Leila’s heart began to race, she tried to scre-m but her voice was gone.

When he finally reached where she was standing, Leila started to feel shivers down her spine she tried to back away but couldn’t move.

He stood in front of her and glared at her with his glowing eyes. She was as beautiful as always, he ached to make her his just there and then, but he held himself back, he would take her at the right time.

‘Leila,’ his hands car-ssed her face, ‘Queen of my castle.’

The touch of his fingers against her face made her stomach clench in fear.

‘I would never hurt you, don’t be scared,’ he said in a low gentle tone.

‘You are mine and all mine, no man will separate us,’ with that said he turned towards the prophet who was trembling with fear.

‘Did you just say you are not afraid of me,’ he mockingly asked

The prophet could barely speak though he wasn’t ready to accept defeat.

‘I belong to God hence no figure of darkness has a any hold of me,’ he trembled

‘I am the king of this earth I stand above all humans and I rule, you ought to be afraid of me you man of gold,’ the figure spoke too loudly

He voice was filled with rage and anger.

Before the prophet could respond, the ground beneath them began to shake, the frames on the walls and the items on the table started falling one by one.

His body trembled with fear, this was more than he could handle.

‘Please don’t hurt me,’ he begged but it was too late.

The figure lifted him up and threw him down as if he weighed nothing.

A feeling of dread washed over Leila, she watched terrified as the figure grabbed his neck, lifted him off the ground and slammed him against the wall.

The prophet gasped in pain as the figure banged his head against the wall.

Tears ran down Leila’s cheeks, she would never forgive herself if anything happened to this prophet of ‘gold’.

Determined to kill the prophet, he lifted him up again and tightened his hand around his neck choking the life out of him.

The prophet could barely breath he knew this was the end of him so he gave up fighting.

Before he could finish off the prophet, the figure glanced at Leila, tears were heavily pouring down her face, her tears pierced through his heart, it hurt to see her crying so he let go of the prophet instantly and vanished in thin air.

Leila could finally move and talk, she scre-med out so loud Chibuye and Jada came rushing into the room and looked at both Leila and the prophet.

‘What happened here?’ Chibuye asked cautiously

Leila was trembling with fear, her heart was thumping hærd against her chest she rushed to Chibuye and wrapped her arms around him.

‘He needs a doctor, ‘Jada pointed to the Prophet who was lying on the floor covered in blood.

‘The f…i…g…u…r…e, he attacked him oh lord what if he dies,’ she cried

‘It’s not your fault sis, wait I will call an ambulance.’

Chibuye held Leila tightly, her wh0le body was shaking she must have been terrified by the wh0le experience, what surprised him the most though was they had not been able to hear a single thing till Leila scre-med.

When the ambulance arrived a while later, there was chaos in the church, the members were all accusing Leila of trying to kill their man of God, Leila couldn’t even defend herself, she was a total mess.

*

He was fuming with anger and since he couldn’t keep still he kept pacing from one end of the room to the other.

‘Daniel you need to take it easy now,’ his wife worriedly said

He gave his wife an evil stare, ‘You dare ask me to take it easy?’ He yelled

‘Please,’ she pleaded.

She was afraid his blood pressure was goig to shoot up if he continued with his pacing.

‘Your daughter has ruined me, see what her actions have caused,’ he pointed at Alfred who was lying lifeless on the floor.

‘Your pacing will not solve anything, let us wait for Leila to return, Alfred will be fine.’

‘If my son dies, I swear I won’t hesitate to kill both you and Leila.’

‘He is going to be fine as long as Leila complies with their terms.’

Before he could respond to his wife, the door was pushed open, both Leila and Jada walked in they looked like they had been crying.

*

Leila just wanted to close her eyes and never open them again. She was tired of everything, they had decided to come back home after the ambulance had picked the pastor up, Chibuye had opted to follow the ambulance, he had to make sure the pastor was alive or else his crazy church members would accuse Leila of killing him.

Leila’s plan was to walk straight to her room without talking to her parents but as usual, her father pulled her back roughly.

‘Have you seen what your actions have caused?’ he pointed at Alfred

Leila looked at Alfred in confusion he was lying shirtless on the floor.

‘Dad please let Leila rest,’ Jada spoke softly.

‘You an accomplice, you took Leila to that prophet.’

Jada gasped, ‘How did you know about that?’

‘I know everything,’ he yelled.

‘Leila hun, you shouldn’t have gone out there to seek for answers,’ her mother said

Leila shook her head,’ Why?’

‘What you did has some grave consequences,’ she said

‘What she means is that your marriage ceremony has been moved to next week, if you refuse to get married, your brother Alfred will never wake up.’
