She lay still with her eyes darting from place to place, completely oblivious of her situation.She hoped to tell Rita what happened but now things moved from bad to worse. She couldn't talk and her memories kept on blurring, there was literally no way she could let Rita in on the matter on ground.“I woke up this morning and saw some clothes scattered, I saw Sophia on the ground with these marks all over her face. She looked pale and weak like someone with little or no strength. From what I can remember, we were both on the bed before I fell asleep but this morning she was on the cold floor, as cold as ice” , Rita hurriedly explained to the angel figure that stood before her, Desmond.“When she woke up, did she say anything or react funny?, how did she behave when she woke up?, Desmond probed further trying to understand the whole thing.“When she woke up, she didn't move her body, her eyes looked like it was going to fall out of i
Haunted Chapter 19: Sofia's Concious Unconsciousness (2)
Seven days had passed away in the blink of an eye but Sofia was still in her pitiful state with no sign of healing soon.Everyday, she looked the same, mute and always aloof, like nothing else mattered. Rita was having a hard time with everything that had happened so far.She was lost and in the dark but Desmond was ever present to help her take care of Sofia. Every midnight Sofia would strangely sit up in the bed and start starting into space.“Just like what happened last night. At exactly 12:00am, Sofia sprang up from bed, completely looking like someone who has been operated with a remote control. I went to ease myself that night , and when I got back to the room, Sofia scared life out of me”, Benny looked concerned as she narrated her ordeal to Desmond.“So what later happened?“, Desmond probed further, literally paying attention to the smallest detail.“When I came in and met her like that, I screamed and switched on the light. She sat alone with bloodshot eyes and did nothing b

He sat on his dark stool and stared at the Black earthenware on his altar.Being a strong potion lord and a conjurer, he had different liquids boiling in various tubes around his shrine. He imagined Rita's face and summoned her spirit to reveal where she is at the moment.He saw a two story building that looked shady. It was painted in Ash and Ox blood and these were two 'not so bright' colours to him.Something about the building was off, it reeked of intense darkness and sorcery. Being a witch too, it was only normal for him to sense a strong power emanating from the building.He looked deeper and saw Sofia at the verge of life and death. He saw Rita gradually losing her sanity due to everything that has been happening to her best pal.He took a closer look at Desmond and realized how pure his heart is. He imagined the place and teleported to the house at night.He felt much darkness emanating from inside the house, someone in that house definitely had something to do with the sh
Haunted Chapter 21: Gabriel's torture
Like a mad dog, he was out of control and was slowly losing his sanity.Gabriel tormented Big b in the dream and in the daytime he'd make him hallucinate. For him, this was only the beginning.In the dream he'd appear to be a green ripper with a long hook-like tool and a sharp blade. Big b was totally powerless in his dreams despite being a strong Witch.Seeing the scary ripper in his dreams, became an everyday routine. Not only did this ripper chase him in the dream, he also multilated after he must have caught him.The ripper showed no mercy while multilating him. He'd cut him deeply, to the point where Big b would beg for death instead of the gruesome torture he received.And when he finally wakes up he'd feel sore in the parts of his body that was mutilated in the dream.He was still in the dark and scared of whatever tortured him. Since the day he noticed the presence of a stronger Witch, he had known no peace and therefore lived like a peasant who was constantly in fear of the B
Haunted Chapter 22: The battle line
*At the altar behind the mirror wardrobe*“Y'all still want some hot tea?, well I have more than enough to share with you guys”, Gabriel smirked and stirred the boiling potion with his finger.He knew he shouldn't have gotten involved with Sofia's situation but then he couldn't help but notice how sad Rita looked. Taking care of Sofia must have been so tiring for Rita and he didn't want that.[Authors thoughts: was that really the reason?]Hence, he had to intervene,especially now that they know a little about him.He kept stirring the potion with his finger, totally ignoring the fire that boiled it.He opened the boiling pot of potions and added a foul smelling black liquid, and poured a few drops of a red blood -like liquid into the pot. After pouring it into the pot, fire immediately filled the pot and boiled the liquid from inside, thereby causing a black smoke to fill the room.Gabriel walked towards the window and then towards the antiques and other artifacts kept in different

Sir Lucius spoke to him in an appealing manner while still emphasizing on the main point,” his heart”.“So how do I survive and make use of the antique without my heart Sir?“, Gabriel probed.He looked at Gabriel wickedly and grinned before saying, “I'll make sure you stay alive even without your heart”..Gabriel was shocked to the brim, but he immediately composed himself. If there was anyone to be doubted in this world, it was definitely not Sir Lucius.He decided to sleep over it and get back to Sir Lucius with a good reply. When he got home, he opened his dark magic books, alongside his book of potions.There it was,the power of the first phalanges de palmistry, the benefits accrued to whoever was in possession of it, what it could do and could not do, how powerful the owner would be.After reading all these, he was stunned by everything. It was all too good to be true. His face darkened after recalling the price he had to pay for this antique and then, he decided to find out if t

Chapter 24: The battle line (3)Sir Lucius led Gabriel to a corner of the secret room and showed him the big bath. “ Strip and lie down in the bath”, Gabriel took off his clothes and slid into the bath without hesitating. Sir Lucius walked up to him and filled the bath with a sweet-smelling liquid.He stopped adding the liquid as soon as it covered Gabriel's waist. Gabriel felt very uncomfortable and started to flinch. The liquid was extremely itchy and he couldn't help but scratch his leg and his thighs.Sir Lucius noticed his uneasiness and added another liquid to the bath, now it felt more comfortable and he stopped scratching his body.Gabriel lay still in the bath, staring into the ceiling and expecting the live-changing moment to come.Sir Lucius removed his black robe and wore his navy blue short sleeves. He headed to the bath and glanced at Gabriel. He walked around the bath while mumbling inaudibly and moving his hands as though he was tieing a rope.At this point, he had a

“It only means one thing, your family is related to the first Palmist. The first palmist, the owner of these phalanges. You have the power of Palmistry. I'm very lucky to have met one of the descendants of the first palmist”, Sir Lucius bowed to Gabriel with satisfaction written on his face.***************************Gabriel caressed the antique tenderly as he suddenly missed Sir Lucius, indeed, he was happy with the decision he made even though he had no idea what Sir Lucius did with his original heart.He carefully placed the antique in the tampered glass and walked to his seat.With a smile sitting beautifully on his face, he opened “the eye” and looked at the confused Big b. *Mile 10 Enugu*Big b puffed up smoke in the air as he stared into space. Going against the coven was no big deal but the consequences of disobeying them were way scarier.He lusted after Sofia and constantly had wet dreams about her, all he wanted was just to get into bed with her but thing

The hood was empty, with no face just pitch black but two hands were visible too.Elio was taken aback by this unearthly person, why would a grim reaper dress in white? It was getting funny and confusing as Elio subconsciously started laughing.He was still laughing when the reaper charged at him, before he could avoid it, the sickle-like took already injured him, hence he braced up himself and swallowed hard, ready to fight for his life.The reaper advanced towards him and each strike was twice as strong as before.

Chapter 57: Finding her roots
"Which is?" Gabriel probed further."Finding her roots" Aquila calmly replied. Her reply made Gabriel and Rita turn their faces in confusion while looking at themselves.It was a very surprising thing to hear, "Wait, what? What do you mean by that?" Rita was the most confused person amongst them, hence she had to ask again for better clarification."A lot of things are attached to her, her birth, parents, siblings, and her village. She knows the people who claim to be her siblings, but the truth is, they're not her siblings. They only stood in the gap to help her, but now, after receiving various threats from the Witch they're all far away from Sofia.""Her glorified siblings told her that she is from Ebo but they were only following instructions from the Witch. The instruction was to lie to her so she'd never find out her village because if she does, there'll be a big problem"Aquila logically explained things to them but Rita was quick to retort."If there'd be a big problem, is it
