LanaSome weeks laterAfter the day I went to the library and saw that mysterious book, I never went there again because it seriously creeped me out.Besides Ra was hardly available since he went on missions to the human world doing what I had no idea of.And I didn't tell him about my dreams, something told to withhold that information from him like it wasn't the right time to say anything.Today after taking my bath and eating, I strolled out to the balcony where I saw Ra training with his men. His golden skin glittered under the sun with sweat as he turned, dodged and kicked at his opponents.Their actions pulled at my interest, so I went down to the training arena to take a closer look. There were three men currently sparring with Ra, they all yelled and attacked as one.Ra dodged the first one, kicked horizontally at the second and punched the last one hard. The last one collapsed hard on the floor as I gasped with shock.Shit! Did that guy just faint because of Ra's punch? Some of
Working in this sleazy pub daily always takes a toll on me. Well it was tiresome and making me angry because of the filthy and nasty male customers who like to grab my ass. Those was one of the times I wished I had superpowers, like lightning you know so that I can get somebody's ass. I had tried reporting them to management but all the manager ever says like now"Lana, try and be nice to those gentlemen, then they will nice to you". Like you I scoffed in my head. Everyone working in Sultry Nights knew how Mark Callary was foaming at the mouth to date me or better still shag me. He seemed to take my silence for resilence and nodded at me."Go on, Lana go work the tables to you've got a lot of people to serve.' He shooed at me to leave his office. If one of those assholes deemed to touch my ass, I would give the lucky bastard a glorious eye shiner if you get my drift. My coach at the mixed martial arts studio, I attend for self defense classes said I have a mean right hook.I walked ov
LanaI was walking home since the bus had already gone. And to top it up, my Metro transport card was already expired, else I would have taken the subway. You can imagine how frustrated I am. After I finished up at the bar, I waited for Priscilla, my colleague to come over and take charge of the bar. She came late and before I left it was already 9:38pm. So I missed the bus and have to walk a long distance to my house.I decided to pass through shortcuts to cut out a sizeable distance to make my journey faster. As I weaved through buildings, I saw a cluster of stray cats on seeing me began meowing. I told you cats love me. Two even came to rub their sides against and in between my legs meowing and purring their delight. I smiled in satisfaction, sometimes I felt as if they were worshipping me, weird thought.I heard a thump not too far away from the place I was standing. You know the wise decision for a sensible woman alone in a dark alley, would be walk as fast as she can and don't
Lana Groaning, I turned my head from side to side on my bed.I just had one of the most craziest dreams. It was 100% crazy. I moaned sleepily as I buried my head deeper in my pillow. My bed caressed me like lover's touch and I sank deeper in it's folds of soft delight.My bed felt different, like it was soft, very soft. Wait!! my bed was never soft! no offence, my bed was old, small, very uncomfortable to sleep on and strong like stale bread. Waking every morning I always had aches all over my body including cricks on the sides of my neck. I woke up with a start, almost falling out of the bed. My head was banging seriously, like I had a hangover. I groaned as a wave of nausea rushed over me, Oh no!!. With my hand on my mouth, I rushed to the bathroom and vomited in the sink. I rinsed my mouth and washed my face staring at myself on the mirror. I saw a bruise on my cheekbone and at the underside of my jaw. I gasped, the dream wasn't just a dream but it all really happened yesterday. Oh
LanaI pumped my arms as fast as I could. I could hear the alarmed voices of the ladies. They were still scrambling on the floor, trying to stand up. Thankfully, there was no guards posted outside the room. I continued running and came to a standstill at a crossroads. "Which way to go?" As I contemplated on the way to go, I heard heavy footfalls coming behind me. Looks like the ladies had company with them. I went with the middle one and continued straight ahead in a semi dark tunnel that must be underground. The footfalls were getting closer, I looked back to see two big muscular guys along with the ladies who looked pissed running at full speed."My lady, stop!." One of them called out."It is not safe running around like this." The other supported. Like I care, do they think I enjoy being kidnapped, locked up, having no clue if I will live or die and no idea of my location. They can catch me if they can, I scoffed. I increased my speed, this place was big and endless. I haven't ev
Yellow fog dragged me along with him as we walked down the long hallway. Weird, even though his hold on me was firm, he wasn't hurting me. "Where are you taking me to?" I asked as I tried struggling from his hold. He didn't answer my question. He stopped in front of a door and opened it. He motioned for me to enter. I refused. "Are you going to kill me behind doors?" I sniped at him. He.rolled his eyes. My mouth dropped open in shock. Oh my goodness, he just rolled his eyes. He chuckled lightly at my reaction."If I wanted to kill you human, I would done that a long time and if you can remember clearly, even with the snap of my fingers." True, I swallowed as I remembered the events of the night that changed my life. I took the wiser decision and entered the room.It was a dining room, it was beautifully decorated and there were different array of dishes arranged on the table. There were even fruits. At the sight of food, my stomach rumbled. He arched his brow at the sound. The tabl
LanaI woke up to the sound of two voices arguing."It can't be her Ra, she looks different." She whispered-yelled. I blinked my groggy eyes and focused on the two figures in the room. The woman looked agitated and Ra looked tensed with his jaw clenched tight."You are mistaken Ra, you just miss Bastet." The name resonated in my head, it sounded familiar. Who is Bastet? I cocked my head to the side. The still unknown woman looked up as she registered my movement."You are awake." Yeah evidently I was awake."Are you feeling okay?" I didn't reply but stared at them.Why isn't she saying anything?Are you sure she is okay? Must have hit her head harder than I thought.If she did it's all my fault, I shouldn't have frightened her.I continued looking at them, throughout the conversation they just had, they didn't even move their lips. How on earth is that possible? Something weird and fishy is going on. It was like they were communicating through their minds."Are you going to kill me?"
LanaI was befuddled by what happened the day before. It was still wondering how I was able to hear what they both said. Could it be that I was related to the gods? like a descendant of theirs. Even if I was, which one was my direct relative? I had to find answers and finally clear up this confusion and know the reason I'm here. I was chilling in the balcony at the top floor of my room. Not that I was getting used to it. I still wanted to go home, back to my normal life. But this was fun, you know just sitting down and doing nothing. Getting pampered like a queen, eating different delicious kind of foods and doing almost anything I like. You know a girl could get used to a life like this.Gem, one of the maids that was assigned to me called out."My lady, your bath is ready." I turned to see her holding a towel with her head in a bow. I sighed."I've told you not to bow to me. I am not a god." "Forgive me my lady, but we have been instructed to do that." She curtsied, along with the
