Haunted

Chapter 3: The sexy preggo

Her minions turned around, facing her with an emotionless face. They stretched out their hands alongside the calabash they held.

The Witch took the knife and beheaded herself, causing thick dark blood to spurt out of her neck.

Her head fell inside a burning pot of hot coal, At the sight of this, Sofia placed her head on her knees and swallowed hard.

She stretched her hand and poured the hot mixture inside her neck.

Sofia stared with her mouth open. The mixture entered her neck and the rest of her body, the calabash fell and her body palpitated.

Her headless body fell while palpitating uncontrollably. Sofia felt the urge to scream but she immediately covered her mouth, trying not to make any sound.

“The mixture contained Zita's canines and premolars, alongside the viper's venom and the witch's blood”, Sofia recalled trying to be sure of what the witch poured inside her body.

“What a combination”…

A foul smell filled the air but her minions didn't budge, not once did they blink or act like someone who just watched a frightening scene.

They witnessed everything but they stood unmoving as though they knew what might happen next.

The foul smell was from her burning head, it burnt and turned black like a roasted animal, inside the pot of hot coal.

Her palpitations stopped and her body turned to dust, dust which in turn became smoke.

Slowly, the smoke came together and her head floated out of the pot. They assembled and this time she looked scarier.

She looked extremely frightening, like a daytime nightmare, just like someone that made it out of hell after being burnt for a thousand years.

The mixture was no ordinary mixture, there was more to it. Definitely some kind of blood and death potion.

There were physical changes in her body. Her Iris glowed green, her fingers could elongate and also return to their normal state.

It was as though she controlled more power. She could do things at the speed of light.

She went to the mirror and bowed down, the phalanges appeared and placed themselves on her head.

She wobbled from place to place due to her contact with the scary-looking phalanges, but the phalanges held her head regardless.

Immediately the phalanges disappeared, she stood up but this time she looked like she was going to kill someone at the slightest provocation.

Even a strong Wizard could not have possessed that much power in just one night, she was more than just a witch.

Black owls flew in circles around the shrine as though they felt a different aura.

The Witch transformed into a gigantic owl and joined the regular ones. They made a different scary sound because their witch emanated a lot of power.

After she transformed back into a human being, she sat on her throne. With a snap of her finger, her minions started walking around the pregnant lady once again.

They walked around for some time and Sofia dozed off, obviously tired from everything she saw.

Sofia dozed off but was suddenly woken up by the Witch's sinister laugh. “Time check, it's 3:00 am and they're still walking around this woman”, she said with all manner of confusion.

Before she could say duh, one of the minions there, a Wizard, took the gigantic bell and started ringing it loudly.

The pregnant lady regained consciousness, she stared in confusion but she didn't know where to start. Her hands were tied up and her legs were wide open restricting her from making any movement.

She tried screaming but she got herself a thunderous slap. She opened her mouth to say something, but the more she said something, a woman with big scissors made cuts in different parts of her lip.

She yelled as a result of the pain she was going through at that moment, but in return, she got more cuts on her upper and lower lip.

Blood flowed uncontrollably as she winced in pain, trying her best to stay mute.

With a wave of the hand from the Witch, her minion went closer and opened the lady's lip, dragged out her tongue, and cut it off with her extremely sharp scissors.

Sofia closed her eyes, it was a terrifying sight.

The lady shouted and screamed as the wicked witch beamed with smiles, she was enjoying the show.

The pregnant lady's screams were like soothing sounds to her.

The Witch walked towards the lady, she held a black calabash designed with paintings of a skull. She forcefully opened the lady's mouth and emptied the contents of the calabash inside her mouth.

With her hands, she pressed the lady's torn lips together, forcefully making her swallow the liquid in her mouth.

Sofia cried within herself, she could feel what the lady was going through. With every cut they gave her, Sofia screamed within her while tears flowed like a river.

The Witch stood and observed the woman, patiently waiting for the next thing. A few minutes later, the lady vomited worms, she kept on vomiting worms of different sizes on the table.

She puked till her skin became dry. Left with little strength, the lady lay flat on the table with her protruding belly, obviously tired from the vomiting spree.

She was tired and she lacked strength. From what she remembered, the lady was on her way to the market to get baby stuff ahead of her due date.

She couldn't understand what she had to do with a shrine and this scary woman who could kill someone at any chance.

She looked at the scary Witch and became very terrified. Human beings all had wicked and mean sides but of all, she has seen in life, it couldn't be compared to what she saw at the moment.

If there was hell on Earth, then this was how someone could describe it.

Her lips bled so much, “Yes the market, now I'm in a shrine”, she tried to find a solution on how to leave here alive with her baby.
