Yes, you guessed right, the Witch at the back of my house.The one who is known for performing rituals at odd times, tormenting souls, and pouring out libations. Before she knew it, flames of burnt offerings filled the air as she tried to read at midnight.Sofia stared in disgust and utmost disappointment, “what could she be burning by this time?“. Out of curiosity, Sofia went to the balcony to take a look at what the witch was up to.Renting a house in Enugu has been the worst mistake Sofia made in all her years.

Haunted Chapter 2: I need help
Chapter 2: I need helpSofia almost puked at the gory sight. It was a scary sight, and she got uncomfortable staring at the man's lifeless body.Sofia took one last look at the old man's remains and felt sorry for him, However, she couldn't help but continue to stare at him. She imagined the kind of pain and suffering he must have been through.His leg was still big and the worms continued to spurt out of his leg. This time they were not ordinary worms.One could compare them to the size of a millipede. They had some similarities, a cylindrical body and two pairs of legs, with shiny silver color.After finding their way out of his leg, they left a giant mark there, a big hole that explains that they were once there. “Dispose of Zita”, the Witch pointed at the old man, signaling her minions to do something.Engulfed with the mixed feelings she felt, it was confusing, Sofia had never seen something like this before. At some point, she thought of crying or maybe shouting or wailing.But
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 ac
Haunted Chapter 4: A wicked Surgeon
The Witch laughed out loud while staring at her. “Hell on Earth?, What a nice name for your current situation”, the Witch's face beamed with smiles as she stared at the confused pregnant lady, who had a “How did you know what was on my mind” expression on her face.She could hear her thoughts and her hidden plan but that was never going to happen even if she slept off as a result of exhaustion from the ritual.Still, the lady was never going to make it out alive, she backed up her thoughts with a confident look on her face. The lady could feel cold shivers around her spine.She couldn't help but swallow so hard. Tears dripped down her face as she stared at the woman who held her life in her palms.The Witch looked resolute and confident in actualizing her plan of killing her. Making her drink the worm-filled liquid was just the tip of the iceberg, she had things up her sleeves.Not knowing what might happen next, she decided to reminisce about the beautiful experiences she had so far
Haunted Chapter 5: Would she make it out alive?
Sofia could only stare and observe the situation. It was a sad thing for a woman to be denied the right to carry and touch her baby after delivery.“What punishment was worse than this?“, Monica yelled and stared at her open belly as blood oozed out of it.Feeling a surge of strength, Monica sat up and questioned the Witch who refused to answer her. But Monica persisted, despite the big cut on her stomach, she insulted the witch and tried to force Words out of her.“The only thing you can do to have your peace is to kill me because I'll keep disturbing you”, Monica spoke with all seriousness while giving her a stern look.This time she was hell-bent on annoying the Witch, somehow, anyhow!.It was obvious that she needed answers and didn't mind facing the witch head-on. The Witch stared at her for a while, trying to read her expression. She looked closely and realized that Monica had braced herself for what might happen next. A wicked grin became visible on her face.“Your husband's c
Haunted Chapter 6: Could it be what she did last night?
Sofia felt a strong blinding light shining on her face, she looked around and realized that she was lying down on her bed. “ It was all a dream”, Sofia put the lines together and felt at ease.“Time check, 7:00 am, today is Saturday too”, Sofia woke up early today unlike her usual time of waking up on Saturday. It was quite odd. She proceeded to do her house chores and when she was done, she fixed a meal, ate, showered, and got ready to visit big b.It was around 8 'o'clock when Big b got home from the gym. He just finished bathing before Sofia knocked on his door. “Come in”, he screamed from the other end.“The Big b we know”, Sofia teased him with a smile on her face and he greeted her as usual, “Sofi sofi, how was your night”, he let out a broad smile after this question.“My night, well that's the reason am here, I have something to discuss with you”, upon sighting Sofia's facial expression, he knew something was up.He gestured for her to sit down and she narrated Everything. He
Haunted Chapter 7: The Revelation
Sofia was mute for a while, trying to assimilate what Big b said to her. “Whoever revealed these things to her, did so for a reason”.“I'm not from the family of prophets, what's making me see things”, she said utterly confused while glancing at Big b, but this time he had no answer for her.“Did I wrong the Witch by any means?, could it be that she's very angry at me?, why would she threaten me like I was going to harm her?“.Sofia tried putting the pieces together but it was still very much confusing. Big b got up and fixed a meal for her. He made an omelet with bread and a hot coffee.Sofia ate in a hurry but fear was still evident on her face, after which she laid back on the sofa and had a nice sleep.Big b couldn't help but watch her as she slept soundly, she looked angelic and beautiful. Noticing that his mind started imagining useless things, he quickly went inside his room.When Sofia had woken up it was already 7:40 pm, a few minutes from 8:00 pm. “Big b, have I been sleepin

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
