The spirit next door episode 7

🌴💀The Spirit Next Door💀🌴
Part Seven

We all waited like someone expecting the second coming of Jesus. The Pastors stood at the entrance while all of us stood behind them. The atmosphere was intense, only the Pastors and my Dad has no traces of fear on their face. All other people were scared, really scared.

Considering the fact that I’ve seen the Spirit before, I was less scared of him because since the day I’ve been seeing him, what he does is to only look at me. He has never hurt me.

The time was already 12 am, and the Spirit was no where to be found. The time reached 1 am and still the Spirit didn’t appear. It was around 1:30 when we all heard a loud “gbo” sound from our back. We all thought the Spirit has arrived, but when we looked back, we discovered that our last born produced the sound. He fell off from the sofa he was sleeping on.

My mum quickly attended to him to hinder him from crying in the middle of the night, while all of us concentrated on coming of the banshee Spirit.

2, 2:30, 3 am, the Spirit failed to appear. We started thinking that the prayer we prayed on the tree’s s₱0t has started working. Perhaps, the anointing oil the Pastor sprinkled on the ground hinder the Spirit from getting in,side the house.

When the time reached 3:30, I started dozing. My eyes were really heavy. I really want sleeping. I slept of the chair I was sitting around 4 am.

“Hey, hey, wake up, wake up” was the voice sounding in my head until I felt a hand on me. It was actually my father. He was trying to wake me up.

“The time is already 6 am, go and prepare hot water for the Pastors, they said they need to go now. They have an assignment to attend to this morning. So, stand up now”.

I stood up and stretched my arms. I sat down again as if I didn’t hear what my father said.

“Do you hear what I said”, he said with tone suggesting that he was annoyed.

“Ooh, good morning sir, I’m sorry. I don’t know that it’s already daybreak” I tried to apologise.

“Dad, wait, the Pastors are already going”

“Yes”

“What about the spirit”

“The Spirit never showed up, so the Pastor said the prayer we prayed over the land and the anointing oil has already restrained the Spirit from coming in. So we’re safe. So, will you now go and prepare the hot water, it’s already 5:40”.

What my Dad said seems to good to be real. “So, the spirit has gone forever”, I said to myself as I headed to the kitchen. I actually don’t want to believe the story, but considering the fact that the spirit never miss visiting every night. So, the spirit failure to come tonight really shows that he has gone forever. I accepted the news and went to the kitchen to boil the water.

The Pastors finished dressing up before 6:30 am. I, my mum and dad walked the Pastors outside. My dad picked his car key and drove the Pastors away.

I and my mum went back in,side . I went to my room immediately to continue my sleep. I haven’t sleep for 40 mins before I was woken up by my dad’s horn. He has returned.

I forced myself down the bed and went out to went to open the gate. The time was 7 am.

I rushed over to the gate and opened it. I closed it and went to my dad to welcome him. He got down from the car and told me to bring an item in,side a polythene bag with me. He gave me the key and went in,side.

I opened the boot and started going in,side. I was about to enter when my eyes caught a figure lying low in the darkness. Actually on the s₱0t where the tree do appear to. When I moved over to the place, I was shocked to see a dead chicken on the s₱0t.

“What”. It has been there since midnight, but the darkness covered it. And, we all were too concerned that the spirit is after human’s life.

The chickens death actually shows that the Spirit came but didn’t enter. He killed one of the chickens outside and disappeared back.

He is coming again.
