Haunted Chapter 38: Another opportunity
"What was this? Was it something I'd get used to", Rita rolled her eyes at Sofia's behavior. The once sensitive and vibrant Sofia now cried like a dummy at the slightest provocation.The girl sitting across from her was nothing more than a weakling and crying baby." Look, I asked him again and I got the same answer. He's done much for us anyway and I wouldn't want to keep making him uncomfortable you know?". "Yes I agree with you, this is reality, we possibly cannot live off him forever. It's better this way", Sofia dried up her tears and spoke maturely for the first time in a long time.A broad smile lit up Rita's face, showing how pleased she was at Sofia's statements. It indicated that she had accepted reality and finally came to terms with things. Like the calm before a storm, Sofia's next statement threw her off guard." I want to go back to my house, I don't like it here".Rita was mute for a while as she carefully strained her ears just to make sure that she heard well, but

He knew that despite how silent this man was, whatever would eventually come out of his mouth would be something dreadful. He never underestimated Elder Tom and his sunken cheeks. He was definitely up to no good.Elio sat down with his mind wandering around and his eyes darting from place to place, oblivious of whatever was happening there."Sofia is under my control. The events that transpired between her and Desmond were just a snippet of my plan. The separation and distance are just another opportunity for me to strike. And it'd keep going as planned before the Mabon". Benny nodded in agreement with what the Witch said. It was harder for her to torment Sofia because she no longer worked in the school but now, the Queen mother drafted a good plan and already put it into action. Nothing sounds better than what she just heard.Benny was filled with smiles, not only was Sofia going to be tortured once more, but the Mabon Sabbat was also drawing near. Everything was falling into place
Haunted Chapter 40: Rita's whereabouts
Once a Sabbat for a month starts drawing near, all Witches would take note. All Wiccans are Witches but not all Witches are Wiccans. Some Witches loved to be their king without following a set of rules, while some highly appreciated it if there was unity among Witches and a central authority guiding them.A good idea and a good foundation of Witches were laid when the Wicca was formed but not all Witches joined it about half of these Witches worked in line with certain rules of the Wicca especially their Sabbats for the eight months of the year.They obey and celebrate these Sabbats for eight months and it kind of creates happiness amongst them, that was why every Witch looked up to it.Gabriel had special plans for the upcoming Sabbat but then he seemed to be distracted by one thing. Every other thing was in control as Dennis termed it, but their boss's unusual behavior of pacing around was what they couldn't decipher.Why would he restlessly walk around by this time of the morning?
Haunted Chapter 41: Are you a Witch?
Chapter 41: Are you a WitchElliot wished that the ground could open up and swallow him. What was she trying to do? Publicly making him deny what he is or what?"Please what did you say?", He pretended as though he didn't hear her."Are you Witch? That was my question", Aquila repeated herself with a smirk on her face."Ugh, how can you say that", Elliot was at a loss for words."Haha, I was just kidding" Aquila laughed over it and gently placed the bill on the table, and walked out of the restaurant.Elliot sat down in the kitchen, feeling extremely uncomfortable. The reason why she suddenly asked that question was still confusing him.Was that why she asked him to dine with her? That was something he never saw coming, the question was weird and unexpected. Could it be that she went around asking people if they were Witches?"No that's not possible". Elliot shoved that thought away from his mind. She couldn't ask just anyone that type of question. *Mile 10 Enugu*Desm
Haunted Chapter 42: What do I do with you?
"Tissue, please! What's wrong with your WC, I'm finding it difficult to flush", Desmond screamed from the bathroom leaving Sofia at a loss for words."Press the button, press it harder, and it'd work. It gets faulty at times. Here's your tissue", Sofia suppressed her laughter as she handed the tissue to Desmond's awaiting hands. "It's not working. Please come and help me with it".Sofia choked on the water she was drinking and she didn't know if she should laugh or cry. 'What do I do with you?'"It's not much. Just a few pieces, you can close your eyes and press it please", Desmond politely begged her as though it were a minor thing.Sofia roared with laughter, "Are you high or something, just press it one more time, it'd work."After some time, Desmond was mute, thereby making Sofia feel uneasy, "Are you okay? Boo bear?"Desmond came out at once looking very exhausted. "It must have been hard to push it out, right?", Sofia chuckled."To push what out? I don't get?", Desmond asked in
Haunted Chapter 43: The convo
Sofia quietly sat down on the sofa as Aquila handed her a cup of coffee with her eyes fixated on her.She had a blank expression on her face and one couldn't tell what was going through her mind, but one thing was certain, she was void of happiness and joy."Why were you walking on the streets looking so depressed? What happened?", Aquila carefully questioned her, pretending as though she had no idea of what had happened.Sofia gawked at her for some time before she tore her gaze and faced another direction, purposely ignoring her question. She was unsure of what to say and Aquila was still a stranger to her.Divulging something like this to her would only make her doubt herself. Her friends were the only ones who understood everything she had faced since she relocated.She would rather keep shut than risk being called mad by this foreigner. Sensing that Sofia wasn't going to easily reveal things to her, she walked towards Sofia and patted her severally, "You can trust me you know?"S
Haunted Chapter 44: Aquila, the CEO?
Elliot couldn't believe his ears. 'Was the boss drunk or what?'"Boss, what just happened?" He repeated his question but the answers were happening right in front of him...Mrs. Thompson was sacked and ripped off her position just like that. This was the best news ever. 'The bossy Mrs. Thompson who wanted nothing but to become the Manager was sacked out of the blue? no, she didn't see this coming 'The employees gossipped among themselves in a close-door meeting they were having with the manager."Uhm, what should I call you now, Aquila or CEO?" Sofia was still trying to digest what just happened."Anyone would suffice""Thank you so much, ma'am, I appreciate your efforts and help. May God bless you" "Blessings would come surely.""Boss where and when did this order get to you?" Angela threw a question at him, hoping he'd satisfy her curiosity, which he obliged to. "A few hours ago and from the CEO"."Who is the CEO? Aren't you the owner?" Becca probed further"The CEO is a foreigner
Haunted Chapter 45: You don't stand a chance
"Haha. I feel your pain bro, but you don't stand a chance you know?" Aldo roared in laughter as Dennis's reaction changed. He only wanted to lift the mood but then he turned out to be an object of mockery and scorn."I don't stand a chance? Really? I don't stand a chance says someone who finds it hard to say hi to a girl" Dennis retorted with a smirk on his face. Bantering with Leo would be too risky for him because the latter would poke things where they hurt the most. 'Giving Aldo a taste of his own medicine wouldn't be bad right?'"Uhm bro, please don't be like that." Aldo politely pleaded with him to drop his topic but at this point, Dennis wasn't having any of it.He knew for sure that Dennis would retaliate and it might be way more disastrous than his."Leo, Aldo went on his knees begging a girl to give him her contact and this lady sighed and walked out. Do you know what he did next?" "No. What did he do" Leo listened with rapt attention as a wicked smile filled his face? Wh

This reaper was dressed in white with a sickle-like tool in the right hand. 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 60: Roots of the Baobab tree
She took a closer look at the woman and then, ran some inches away from her after seeing how dark he eyes were. Everyone was indeed scary and they all creeped her out. The white-haired woman waved her hands and the exceptionally beautiful woman came back to herself and more frightening women stopped resurfacing."Child, let's go in" Sofia was a bit skeptical but she knew she could trust this elderly woman. She got to the sitting room and immediately felt dizzy as everything looked strange and weird. She saw a picture of a beautiful woman, a man, and another weird-looking woman.The frame of the beautiful woman was beside that of the man while the weird-looking woman's frame hung opposite the two. She stopped staring at the frames and walked toward the Sofa. She could feel something burning her skin, but it wasn't the necklace and she was the only one in the room, then where could the sensation be exuding from?Sofia took a Torchlight and looked at all the frames, weirdly, they were al

Gradually she looked at the lady and discovered that this lady was comfortably sitting down as though nothing was happening. Everyone in the car trembled in fear and was also very scared of losing their lives. The driver lost control of the vehicle as he found it difficult to control the steering. it became very stiff and strong and moved around from side to side as though it were a pawn on a chessboard. Sofia observed this lady and noticed her weird posture with smiles all over her exterior. She acted as though everything was in her control, with a determined look like one who could predict what would happen subsequently with her psyche.Her lips twitched as she muttered something inaudibly. Fear engulfed the women on the bus as they all prayed and hope to make it out alive. Sofia stood up amidst the moving vehicle not the least scared and advanced towards the lady as her finger lengthened. She looked as though she was going to rip out the lady's flesh and maybe feed her heart to

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
