ANGELINA Episode 10 By Adelaide Asaf (Daisy Cartel)
” I have told you,don’t be afraid. Because I am here with you. Calm yourself. I will give you everything you ask for on this earth. If only you will bow down and worship me,and be loyal to no other god, but me. You have suffered in the hands of your Uncle and aunt enough. That is enough! Now it’s time for vengeance…tell me,what you require my dear Lady Sona ”.
” Queen Mother ”. I bowed my head. ” I thirst for vengeance, because I will never forgive what has being done to me. I need to posses all the power I need to accomplish my mission. I want to give my uncle such a punishment, that is so painful Queen ”.
” Hmmmm…I love the look for hate and mercilessness in your eyes. You have suddenly touched my heart and I have made you,my beloved servant! Bring me the bowl if baptism!!! ”. She commanded as her voice echoed around.
The tall muscular walked with their goat feet and stood in the middle if the hall and entered under the water. To be honest, I don’t know what’s there again under water. I was still frightened and boldly tried to stand still. The Queen mother looked scary. Her hair was the longest I had ever seen. There were snakes on her hair which made me think she’s serious. She sat on her throne with fish legs. Apart from her,the rest of us all had human legs,except those men with goat legs. I wonder what they had being sent to do.
The men suddenly appeared from no where in particular, one of the held a bowl if blood,another, a bowl of water and others held a metal rod with a snake symbol. The ladies who sat at the Queen’s feet stood up and held my hands. I tried to hesitate, but they smiled at me like my mum used to. They ushered me into a certain room and removed my clothes. I wasn’t really shy since we were all girls.
They leaded me into a bathtub. Quite interesting for a marine kingdom. I entered the bathtub and they relaxed me into the tub. One of them went behind d me and freed my hair. She swam her fingers through my hair started massaging my head lightly. Thus felt so good. Three of them pored a liquid in a certain bowl into the water tub and it became soapy. They gave me a royal treatment. They swam their hands all over my whole,I actually didn’t know why they were bathing me. But I guessed they were washing my goodness away. They took me I to a room were there was a dress which looked exactly like how they wore. They put those dresses on me and took me back to the queen. I saw a fleet of burning coal which the snake metal rid was put into and being heated. I was bow becoming scared.
The queen swam from her seat and took the bowl of blood from one of the men. They made me kneel in front of her and she poured the blood in me,chanting and shaking. She told me to close my eyes. I did and they poured the water on me to wash the blood away.
” I hereby, Queen Marina….baptize you as one of us now. I hereby pronounce you,daughter of darkness! And hence,you’re called Lady Sona! Meaning, mercilessness,ruthlessness…. Go out there,and bring more souls to the kingdom! I give you power to be what you ought to be! ”.
After this coronation, it reached the most painful part,at least that’s what I thought. They asked me to open my eyes,and I did. But I still had to kneel down.
” Now…open your mouth, Sona! ”. The queen commanded.
I opened my mouth and didn’t know what was coming. Queen Marina opened her mouth too and there came out a huge anaconda crawling out of her mouth,I was about to close my mouth when one of the girls warned me to keep it opened or face the painful payment. I kept my mouth opened, and the anaconda slowly crawled into my wide open mouth,I closed my eyes so hard and tears freed itself out my eyes.
The black snake entered my mouth my dey opened, I felt like vomiting for a moment, but suddenly, all my discomfort disappeared. And lastly, they took the snake rod from the burning furnace, and two of the strong goat men held both my hands tightly. I tried to resist.
” This is going to be painful darling,but you have to take it in. You must be bold enough to join this kingdom ”. Queen Marina said,holding the hot blazing rod..
” What are you going to do? Tell me please! ”. I asked in scare.
They turned my back to the Queen and she placed the snake symbol on the rod at my back which hurts like hell. I screamed out so loud that my throat hurt. The burns were toasting my back so painfully. I didn’t know what she was doing that for tho,it that hurt. She got done and pulled the metal away and gave it to one of the men. They turned me to her face and she made me sit. And she hugged me for a good job. I was confused.
She swam back to sit on her throne.
” I know you must be asking yourself right now on why I made that hot rod on your body. It has already drawn the snake symbol at your back,to give you an identity, that you belong to us ”. Her voice echoed around.
” Are we done Queen? ”. I asked in sweat.
” Now…the rules! Rules you have to follow for the rest of your life Sona!….
Rule number 1 is…You must always officiate in meetings I call in the kingdom without excuses.
Rule number 2 is…You mustn’t reveal any secret from the kingdom to the human world.
Rule number 3 is…You..must never have sex with any man.
Rule number 4 is…Never ever…mention, the name of that man everyone calls in times of trouble!
Rule number 5 is…Never,enter into a church house,else you’ll regret it!
Rule number 6 is…You are required to ring a blood sacrifice for the queen,which is me…who thirst for blood. You are to bring one gallon of blood,in every seventh day of every week!
Rule number 7 is….You must never fall in love….least,you will die!!! ”. The Queen warned with blazing eyes.
I was shocked and confused more than ever! Bring blood? How am I supposed to do that? And I must never fall in love or have sex? I was now in a tentacle I can no longer come out.
She raised her hand and Uncle Tom’s head appeared in her hand with blood drooping out of it and I screamed and got to my feet.
” Relax my love, I just want to show you what I can do to your uncle if only you would want me to do so ”. She said.
” No Queen Marina. I don’t need you to take care of uncle Tom at all. I will do it by my own self! ”. I replied and a hallow voice. I will!
” Now go!!! Go!! Go and conquer the world,go!!!! ”…..
When I opened my eyes,I was in the bedroom with Katherine sleeping besides me. I looked around the beautiful room and I looked so tired. I shrugged my shoulders and touched a wound at my back and I screamed at it was so painful. I stood up and looked into the mirror, I turned my back and saw a very deep snake symbol at my back. Oh my goodness! It wasn’t a dream!
It was real. I really went to the marine kingdom! What have I gotten myself into? Lady Nash opened the door and entered.
” Good morning Angelina. How are you doing? ”. She asked with a smile.
” I’m okay Lady Nash. But I have pains over my whole body ”. I said.
” It’s normal. I went through the same thing. You’ll survive ”. She said calmly. ” I’ll teach you all you need to know okay? ”.
” So…what now? ”.
” Take a bath. I’m taking you to the next two estates. Were going to get you your own house ”.
” Oh my Go…..sorry. Oh my goodness!!! Are you serious? ”. I screamed in excitement.
” Be careful not to mention that name ever again. Now,go get ready ”. She said.
As usual, we left Katherine for Comfort,and we got to the estate in no time. She bought one of the rich houses for me. The house was a five bedroom storey building with a small compound and a meta fenced garden in front. It was well furnished and we made payment and signed whatever was necessary. I had everything I needed there. I took the keys and placed it into my bag. She and I stepped outside and walked to the car.
” How do you like the house girl? ”. She asked.
” It’s amazing, wow! Thanks so much,I would love it here ”.
” You can always by a new one with the money you’ll be making ”. She said and entered the car.
” And can you tell me how the money would be coming? ”. I asked. And as I went on the other side of the front seat,opened and about to enter,I turned into the estate streets and was shocked at who I just layed my eye and recognized. ” Nickel???! ”…
