MY EYES
Episode 9
I quickly ended the call to avoid stressing her with the latest ordeal of my life. I ran to the bathroom to wash my face, suddenly my eyes starts burning seriously I couldn’t bare it. I ran out of my apartment, seeing my landlady heading towards her car.
Seems she was going out, the voice inside my head screamed “stop her or she will die”.
“Why?”, I cried out.
“Her time is close but she has a lot to see and enjoy, you are meant to be at this place and at this time, stop her or you may blame yourself for the rest of your life”, the voice echoed.
I quickly ran to downstairs, she was almost close to leaving the compound before I am in front of her car to urge her to stop.
“Please stop, please”, I pleaded.
“What’s wrong Gabby?”, she asked.
“Please ma’am stop we have to talk”, I pleaded.
“Am running late Gabby, if you have something to say, say it fast”, the landlady replied.
“Please ma’am your life is at risk you have to get back to your apartment let’s talk”, I swifty said.
“My life? Whats happening?”, she replied looking furious.
This time I got her attention and she drove back into the compound, the gateman was stand abase wondering what was happening.
He quickly close to the gate, I rushed to her breathing heavily.
“Tell her, her car is over heating it may blow up at any time. You both have to move away from it. That would have killed her if you haven’t stopped her”, the voice in my head pitched in.
“Ma’am please step away from your car, your car is about to blow up”, I swifty said.
“What?”, she exclaimed.
“Please move”, I said while shifting her away into her apartment.
We moved into the apartment, before we could shut the door the car blew up. It shattered the glasses on the wall, I was terrified. I could see the shock and fear on her face.
The event made the neighbors run out of their apartment, they were all scared. Some started call firefighters, while some tried to put out the fire with so much effort.
Fire spread widely on so many apartments around, fear gripped everyone. I could no longer recognize the compound any more.
Funny enough my apartment wasn’t affected, but some other ones were.
“How did you know such was about to happen?”, she asked looking at me with fear.
I looked at her confused, I didn’t know what to say next. The fear of telling her my gift was killing me.inside, I didn’t want her to see me differently or betray me the way my best friend did.
I had to lie, that was the only way to bypass my reality LIE.
“I just had an instinct of it that’s all”, I said trying to shut the door.
“No it’s not an instinct, you told me before my life is in danger. You told me my car will blow up before it actually happened, so you better start talking Gabby”, she persuaded.
Then it dawned on me, my gift may heal me or ruin me.
“Tell me Gabby, what is that you are afraid of?”, she asked.
“I can’t say, please be safe. If you need someone to talk to am always here”, I replied.
I was about to leave when she stopped me by holding my hands, pulling me softly into her living room.
She shot the door, and closed the windows. She never answered anyone who came to check up on her to ensure she’s okay.
She sat quietly beside me, she looked at me like she could we me soul.
“Gabby I know you find it hard to say or to open up but please you just saved my life, and I need to know how and why you choose to be here at this very hour”, the landlady said.
“Tell her the truth even if it hurts”, the voice in my head echoed.
I was taken aback to the time I opened up to Clara, how painful it was for me to bare all the consequences.
“You want to know the truth?”, I asked looking at her without blinking, like I could see right through her.
“Yes, even if it hurts “, she replied.
“Am a WITCH”, I replied.
