Lana I was turning around restlessly in my bed, crunching my brows tight in confusion. I was confused because of the different dreams I had in just one night. And the worst thing was that I didn't understand any of it since they were coming in the form of flashes, and I was always dying in each one.The last one before I jolted awake, I was running away from some people. Though I couldn't see their faces since they were blurred. I couldn't get away fast enough and got hit on the back with a club.That was when I woke up with a gasp, my body and the sheets were covered with sweat. I was breathing heavily scared shitless out of my mind. What was that and when did that happen? I felt a pricking sensation at my back and lifted my pajamas top. I felt around the area, it was sore and I was feeling remnants of the pain. Wait! what was going on? I rushed to the bathroom and moved to the mirror. I lifted my PJs top again, turned to the side and checked again. I sucked a breath at what I sa
LanaI never the library to be this big, but what did I expect when it is owned by a god. It was divide into sections and arranged in rows and columns. I was amazed at the monstrosity of the library, I walked over to one of the shelf and touched, more like caressed the spine of one of the books on it. "Do you like it, my lady?" Gem asked with a little smile in my direction. She always had that little smile thing going on. "Why yes. I totally love it." I screamed in excitement and almost twirled. I heard shuffling of feet coming toward our direction. My little charade must have alerted them to the presence of other people in the library. "Who is there?" an old croaky male voice called out. I exchanged glances with Gem, that person had to be very old. His voice had that droopy feel to it."It's me Gem." Gem called out. The shuffling feet was coming closer and then an old man came out from the side of one of the shelves. He was very old and had wrinkles all over his face. The most ou
Lana After reading to my satisfaction, I looked up and noticed that I must have spent a lot of time in the library because Gem was sleeping. Her neck was going to get sore in the uncomfortable position that she was sleeping in. But first, I had to keep all the books I had taken and return them to their respective shelves.When I had finished placing them in the shelves, I saw a white paper peeking out from one of the books grabbed my attention. It must be a bookmark but as I turned to leave, I felt this nagging sensation in the pit of my stomach. I always felt this when something was really important or amiss.I turned back and picked the book up. It was voluminous and titled The Greatest Woman On Earth, intriguing name. I opened the book and flipped through it, the pages were so numerous. I came across the white paper that was in-between the pages. The piece of paper was folded into two equal halves. It wasn't a bookmark, rather it was a cryptic short message which read"Read this
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
