Damian and the pregnant Ghost 4
“Who are they? He asked in a shaky voice.
Damian’s countenance was not good at all, he looked like someone who would pass out at any time. I had to go beside him and urged him to lean on my shoulder.
“You have to calm down before you break down alright”
Damian sighed but it was a mixture of tears and pains. He was weary, weak but I assured him that all will be well as I caress his back. I felt tear drops on my shoulder. I knew I had to let him shed all the tears he can
“God what did I get myself into. I didn’t mean to let her die. God please help me” he said groaning in pain and agony.
His state could melt the most stone hearted person. I really felt for him
“Are you ready to hear this I said
“Yes” he replied wiping the tears away from his eyes. I offered him tissue to clean his nose
“That night she wanted to stab you, she hesitated to do it. It felt as if she could hear you but another hand came out of the darkness and held up the knife”
“I don’t understand”
“It’s as if someone is pushing her for revenge. I believe her spirit was invoked and the person responsible is pushing her to take her revenge. But the person I don’t know”
“,So how do we get to find out then”
“I will have to ask her” I said
“How? He asked
“This night you and I will have to stroll down the junction where the accident happened. That is where her spirit goes first before coming for you”. I replied
Damian has the look of fear on his face. I knew what he might be thinking but I assured him to trust me.
“Damian i need you to trust me on this. Do exactly what I asked you to do alright. I’m right behind you. I need to get her to speak with me.”
He only nodded his head as he looked at me with the same fear written all over him.
By 10pm we were at the junction waiting for her. She was standing exactly the way she stood while waiting for a bus before Damian knocked her down. I was surprised to see that Damian can’t even see her. That was when i confirmed my suspicion. Someone is behind everything. Once they invoke her, she comes for Damian.
I walked close to her and pretended as if I don’t know about her existence.
“I don’t know what is keeping this bus people na. I’m tired of standing and sitting waiting for them. I said to myself
She looked at me but didn’t say a word
“Aunty which side you dey go this night I asked her”
“I’m going to Olu obasanjo road” she replied
“Me too oo. I dey drop for number 27. What of you”
” I go drop for number 25″ she replied
” We dey stay the same street and I no even know you Aunty. My brother na the guy wey dey sell electronics for the shop wey dey front” I said pretending to pick More interest.
“Seriously? She said. My husband na the vulcanizer for the front of our house, I dey sell roasted plantain for the shop behind him own”
“Wait oo. I remember you klnow but j have forgotten that your husband name. I dey school so that’s why I no too dey around. I said
I saw the way she was staring at me with disbelief and doubti in her eyes and I had to make up the lies. As a ghost she felt I was lying but the only thing that got her wondering was how I could be able to see her. I had to make the lie look very convincing. Even if she didn’t tell me her husband’s name, I already know where to look.
Immediately it was 10:30, I saw her pause like a zombie and she never uttered a word to me as she walked past me and out of nowhere came the knife in her hand.
I nodded my head and smiled as I took another path and went straight to where Damian was standing. I saw the look of horror in his eyes as he saw her walking down the path that leads to his street.
“El Giveth I can see her now” he said pointing at her.
“I know that. And she is coming for you. Let’s go before she finds you. The strength she carries today is different from what I felt yesterday night. We have to stop everything before she becomes too strong and vengeful to handle”.
“I have everything we need to stop her”
