Snippet 9

"HEART BREAK"

The ride had turned to be weird, with me as the only speaker. She had turned to be mute in a short space of time. I started to be curious about her quietness. Maybe she has realized now that she's inside with a very dangerous stranger and I could do anything to her or maybe it's the complicated question I asked her because, after that complicated question, the cat caught her tongue.

Me: "So you don't want to answer me.?..."

Tiara..."....." Ok, I turned on the music listening to one of my favorite Spanish songs.

Audio.:".....

Soy el fuego que arde tu piel.

soy el agua que mata tu sed.

El castillo, la torre yo soy.

la espada que guarda el caudal.

tu el aire que respiro yo.

y la luz de la luna en el mar.

La garganta que ansío mojar

que temo ahogar de amor.

y cuáles deseos me vas a dar

mi tesoro basta con mirarlo,

tuyo será, y tuyo será....." I kept on stealing glances on the rearview mirror while singing along.

Tiara.: "I like this song. Who is the artist..?.." Oh ok, so the tongue released her tongue

Me.: "Pedro Pascal.." I proceeded with singing along.

Tiara.: "You know the song doesn't need a backup singer..." This Girl neh.

Me.: "Admit it, you like my Voice."

Tiara.: "Yoh... He.e(No) Your voice is hilarious.. It's like I am listening to Zikwe from Takalani sesame crying.." She then chuckled...I reduced the volume..

Me.: "Mxm, You know you are full of shit.." She gasped making the Hhhhhhah sound. "I thought every woman likes husky voices..." said with a grin on my face...

Tiara.: "I am not like every woman.." My kinda woman...

Me.: "Yeah, you are not like every woman. You are more complicated, one moment you are dead quiet the next thing you turn into a parrot that sniffed cocaine and drank an energy drink....." She laughed out loud....

We arrived at Where she lives... I parked in front of the House...

Me.: "Can I ask you for a favor...?"

Tiara.: "I don't give Cab(Taxi) drivers favors.." She said opening the door..".

Me.: "If this was a Taxi, You would be paying this R10 000... Anyway, I will... " She banged the door walking away to the opening electric gate. I then charged towards her, roughly turned her around... Our eyes locked... I then smashed my lips to hers. We started French-kissing each other... I have been longing to lay my lips on these juicy lips made with pure perfection. We kissed for what looked like Eternity..... She then did a unexpected move...She bit my lower lip and roughly pushed me away...And slapped me very hard across my face.., making a tear escape my eye.

Me.: "Ouch!!, I guess that was a thank you... You should've just told me. That was really a kiss of the year, it even made me cry.." Said with a huge on my face.

Her.:"No. That was a fuck you!! You are a married man. We can't do this man. I am also in a relationship.." My smile Vanished in the speed of light.

Me.: "Whah.. what.? Why didn't you tell me.." And why was she eyeing on me if she is taken... Saying I am disappointed is a huge understatement, I thought she was single, my plans were to explain my marital status, and hopefully, we will get to know each other.

Her.: "You never asked, Moss.."

Me.: "Then why did you keep on eyeing on me earlier.." She frowned..

Her.:"Just because I am taken does that mean I am not allowed to look at people in a friendly manner..?"

Me.:"That was not a friendly eyeing, It was a Hay you, I am single look.."

Her.: "I am sorry, I didn't mean to confuse you.. look I need to get inside, my boyfriend is probably waiting for me.." She turned and walked away leaving me behind. I felt like shit. I took my phone called RAT. I was really curious about what they left doing. I needed to clear my head...

The phone kept on ringing while I got inside the car...

RAT.: "Sure sure, Boza.." Then there were screams that kept on echoing in the background.

Me.: "I hear you are still busy, Are you already done with Grubla...?"

RAT.: "Nah Bozza, The Infant's still asleep.."

Me.: "Good, Will pass by.."

RAT.: "Judging to the tone of your voice I am really feeling sorry for him.."

Me.: "He is going to regret why didn't actually take out his throat with that dagger instead..."

RAT.:" You see what I am talking about, This is getting even more entertaining. I can't already wait for your arrival..." I heard a voice of a woman crying, But the sound was on my side of the line. Tiara came out running still holding her handbag. But she was not wearing her heels. She stopped when she saw that I was still around, She then turned and ran in the other direction...

Me.: "I got to go, man, We will talk....." I dropped the call and got out of the car... "Tiara!!!! Tiara!!! Wait.!!" She didn't look back...., I started running after her... She Surely can run, I underestimated her... I just wondered why is she running away, I caught up with her.. She was starting to get tired. I caught her by her hand And slowed her down. She then looked at me with blood-red eyes, With tears constantly running down. Her tears were mixed with mucous...

Me.: "Hay hay.." She kept on crying...

Her.: "Ple....se ho ho ho ld m e.." I gave her a tight hug.. While brushing her back gently...

Me.: "Shhhhhhh Shhhhhhh.." I cupped her face, making her look at me.. "Hay.. What's wrong, why are you crying, what's wrong.?. Did that punk hit you.?."

Her.: "He.... Girl.. found .... Bed.." she said while still crying.

Me.: "Calm down, Shhh calm down. because now you are not making any sense..." She pushed me and started breathing heavily...

Her..:"I can'.. My my puhh..." Oh shit her pump..

I took her handbag.. I then remembered that her pump was thrown away... Shit there must be another pump at her place... She started crying again. Every cry made me angry even worse. Started to look like she was feeling dizzy, gasping, struggling to breathe. She is going to faint. I was right. She fell but I caught her before she reached the ground. I then lifted her in bridal style. And started running to the car. Got to the car and laid her in the back seat. I ran inside the yard, got in the front door and turned the handle and pushed the door,it was unlocked. Where could an asthmatic person put her pump.? Bathroom. I rushed to the bathroom, Got there and started looking at the drawers. Nothing donty dololo zilch, I started to panic... There must be an ensuite bathroom. Well, I could hear moans, Oh that's why she came out running, I decided to follow them. Got there opened and went to the en-suite bathroom. Opened the door and started flipping everything upside down... I couldn't find it... Now it's going to make me ask this fo...

Guy.:"Who the fuck are you.? What the fuck are you doing here.." He said pointing a gun on me..

Me.: "Don't ask me shit where the fuck is her pump.." I said searching around the bedroom since I didn't find anything in the bathroom.

Guy.: "Stop, this shit before I shoot that fucken head out of that useless body.." I chuckled.

Me.: "And make sure that I die, Because you are going to regret uttering a single letter to me.." I was still searching, I came across a plastic medical aid box, I didn't waste time, I just dug in and found it. I rushed back to the car...That fool, Ran behind me.

Guy.: "Where is she..." I ignored him... got to the car. She was still passed out, I took out a bottle of water, And splashed a little bit on her face..." No. Babe.? Babe.." He said, trying to come closer...

Me.: "Stay the fuck away from here.." She woke up gasping heavily, I gave her the pump and she inhaled..."Shhh, take this and drink you need to rest.." I gave her some sleeping pills and helped her to drink. She was not fully awake.

Guy.: "Fuck you man, this is my Girlfriend...." He said, trying to come closer to us.

Me.: "Keep those filthy hands lubricated with condom oil away from us boy.. I am warning you...FYI she used to be your Girlfriend.." I got out of the car and closed the door..."You have a rotten nerve to call her your Girlfriend, After what you did to her...Just stay the hell away from her... if I was you I would start packing her clothes already.."

Guy.: "Who the fuck are you to tell me what to do.."

Me.: "I am someone who is going to take care of your ex-girlfriend since you failed to keep your dick still.."

Guy.: "Fuck you, man..." He tried to hit me with the back of his gun…I caught it half away, I showed him how it's done, I punched him with a light uppercut, Which sent him straight to the ground. I was still holding his hand. There was still a heartbeat, He is lucky I can't kill him, because deep down Tiara still cares about him, So I can't have his blood on my hands, I don't want Tiara to hate me because of him... I dragged him inside the house and came across his sex buddy on the lounge wearing just a towel, I just gave her a dead look... I threw him on the floor and walked away. The girl rushed to him probably checking her pulse rate. I got inside the car and drove off going to my house.

IN NIGERIA.

NARRATED.

Obidike, Akoko, Chikwemeka, Udoka, and ZI were on the way to an isolated place where they were going to practice their ritual. The place is owned by ZI, It's where she usually practices her rituals. They hired men who are going to do the slaughtering process. The men were already there. They arrived and started walking inside a hut... ZI was holding a big bag full of items she was going to use... When they got inside the hut they found two elderly men who were sitting on wooden chairs, drinking sorghum beer(Pito) from clay pots.

Man 1: "It's already Midnight let's get started..."

ZI.: "Are those men I hired, Already gone.."

Man 2.: "They left, you just stepped on their departure tracks.." After shaking hands They all went outside, Walking to a fireplace where they will start with the ritual. ZI started taking out Items she was going to use... She took out two containers that had a White power inside the bag and walked towards the fire... She started to draw a Pentagram around the fire, Followed by a circle and a triangle... following instructions written on the book of spells.

ZI.: "I am going to need you to place containers of Ankole cows' blood on the corners of the stars, two containers each corner.." They did as she instructed them to. "Ok, Each container of Capra aegagrus blood on the corners of the Pentagon." They did so...."Place blood of those girls on the circumference of the circles where the star meets the circle, put them in the middle of cows blood and most lastly the royal blood on each corner of the triangle.."

She took out another container, filled with some herb, and started pouring the herb inside each container while chanting words in some weird language. The weather conditions started to change. Clouds started to cover the skyline. A thunderstorm started to form, Heavy winds started to take over.

ZI.: "Bring the organs and put them on the fire!!!... Hurry!!!." They did what she ordered them to do. While she went to fetch a Poker and Some white paper cylinder rolled like something like a cigar. She lit the paper cylinder and it started to make some smoke... She was holding the poker close to her heart while making invisible shapes she drew with the white powder on the ground... "Lsyagtaui suapal be afaf lrleuat dz d snk lapaufCama.sz.

With these gifts, I am commanding you in the Name of cabalistic, Hellenic Barbarous to accept the evocation and join us in the land of the living... )" She spoke in one of the long lost language, spoken by few. Lightning started to hit the ground, Clouds on top of the fire started to coil into a Tornado. Out of nowhere, the fire started growing upwards into the tornado.. The clouds and the fire became one thing... It went on and on until a group of Creatures appeared from inside the Firenado...
