THREE EYES – Sire Prince Jhay

I never knew Victoria has another one eye at the back of her head.

She has three eyes but no one had ever noticed the third one fixed at the back of her head due to the fact that it is always covered by her long hair

No matter what you do behind her, she would definitely see you clearly.

No wonder she doesn’t like plaiting her hair publicly. Till now, no one knows how she used to plait her hair, but Victoria is always seen with beautiful plaited hair with different styles

Whenever I tease or talk about her hair trying to portray the romance in me, her contenance would swiftly change at me.

There was a day I signaled to my friend to excuse us so that I could make love with her. I did the signal at Victoria’s back not knowing she was looking at me and aware of everything.

“But Michael, why did you tell him to leave your room” Victoria said immediately my friend stepped out

“Me, when? I didn’t tell him to leave oo, he probably wish to leave by himself. Though he told me few minutes ago that he wanted to do something at the second Street, I guess that’s what he wants to do ” I said.

“Guys and lies sha” she muttered under her breath and heaved a deep breath

Initially, I was so shocked at her statement, wondering how she got to know I signaled to my friend to excuse us. But later thought it could be a guessing

I could recalled another day she heard a sad news about the dēålth of his uncle. I was consoling her to stop crying and all of a sūddēn, I saw a tears sliding down at the back of her neck also

“What happened to your neck, I can see a..a. a drop of water, kind of” I stammered.

“Whatttttt” she jumped up immediately, standing on her feet and wiped it off with an handkachief.

“But why is that..” I was about asking, she suddenly went out and slammed the door.

My mouth was agape in utmost confusion. It felt like a dream to me

“Why is Victoria behaving this way? She’s been acting strange” I found myself asking.

“How could you just get up and get out like that just because I saw a liquid substance around your neck. Is there anything she is hiding from me” I said still in confusion.

The following day, I decided to pay her a surprise visit. I delibrately decided not to inform her.

When I got to the corridor of her room, something in me signaled not to knock the door.

I opened the door and behold, due to the shock I felt at what I saw, I felt a bump in my heart and I fåìnted immediately

I opened the door and behold, due to the shock, I felt a bumb in my heart and I fãinted immediately.

I don’t know what later happened neither to me nor around me. When I opened my eyes, I found myself in a dark, dirty and fithy place.

“Where am I?” I groaned painfully. My vision was blurry. My body was weak and downcasted

“Who’s there?” I muttered again. I rubbed my face and stretched my body to relieve my weaken joints. I looked around and realized I’m all alone in a deep bush

“Jesus Christ, where am I? Who’s there?” I wailed with a frightened tone. My heart started beating fast. The scenerio where I collapsed at Victoria’s door step flashed my brain. I became more scared. I stood up quickly.

I saw a sharp beam of light, I traced the direction of the light and I saw a group of men appearing fetish and mean. They were vigilantes

“Who is that,” one of them said beaming his torchlight and pointing his gun directly at me.

“Sir, don’t shoot please, I don’t know how I get here. What I can remember was that I faìnted at my girlfriend’s house, that’s what I could remember. I just found myself in the būsh. I know it’s Victoria’s doings” I said

“Who do you think you’re trying to trick, if you make any funny move, I will shõot you” one of them threatened

“No sir, no Sir, I’m not tricking you oo. It’s Victoria, the Lady with three eyes. She has two eyes in the front and one big one at the back” I said

“Eyes, at the back of her head?”

“Yes, the worst part was that. The last time I saw her. I found her head on her lap and she was plaiting the hair by herself. She removed her head from her neck”

“Wait, are you måd, do you think we’re foōlish. A lady removed her head?” One of them said

“To God who who made me, I’m not līeing” I sweared..

“You will take us to her place, but what if we later realized you’re not telling us the truth”

“I’m so sure you will see it there” I assured

“Don’t worry, put your mind at rest. She could be a wìtch. We will get and cage her” one of them said showing off his fētish beads around his neck and wrist.

I stayed with them till dawn. The following morning, I took them to Victoria’s house.

The vigilantes challenge her. They started inciting some incantations to Victoria. I was scared to dēålth, hiding and hoping Victoria was defēæted.

“Sir, why are you doing this, I’m not a Wìtch” Victoria said

“You’re not a Witch, then why do you one eye at the back of your head” one of the vigilante challenged

“Do you mean my wound, ahh. It’s not eye. Oh is that what Michael told you” she said and showed them her head..

“Oh it’s a wound oo” the vigilante checked and confirmed.

“It’s a lie, what about the day I saw you plaiting your own hair. By yourself” I said

“My own head, I was just plaiting my doll’s head. I’m just learning how to make hair with it” she said, she went in and brought out the doll to show them

I was about to talk further when the vigilantes suddenly turned to me and beat the hēll out of me.

Story continued.
