I felt my heart was strangely attached to her, falling to her pace.
I have to cut that bond. I was still planning for my grand plan but I kept thinking back about her face, her dark eyes staring at me, the words she said to me
I must confess I felt some kind of happiness I never felt before, but I wanted that bond to cut off, I kept asking Marta for update concerning her whether she had sent her to coma but strangely she kept saying am working on it.
Every morning, I walked out of my door,
Here she is again, she stood smiling on her uniform white sleeves, brown cardigan matching with her skirt waiting for me. I just ignore her and walk to school without saying a single word to her , she did these every single day , one day she didn't come to my house, or school I didn't even know when I started questioning fellow classmates about her whereabouts, I heard she was attacked by someone , I felt anger for some reason though I knew it was Marta"s doing, I went to that to find that assailant that attacked her and I horribly twisted his hands and legs to the extent he would never walk again.
Marta was watching the entire time. I decided to concentrate on my mission.
Mike and I paid the lawyers house a visit, Mike crafty broke into his home, cut of the light and I sat at the dark, I had studied the lawyer named Raymond Noah carefully, after work, he goes to party with his friends and for his wife and kids, I sketched them to sleep, when he got back that day, I deliberately sat on Mike's shoulder cap, making him stand on his feet,
The plan was to make me look taller like a giant monster with red eyes to intimidate him. Marta's power had some version limitations; I couldn't see everything in their mind. Knowing how easily timid he was, I got a copy of the info and told him to give the original copy to the police when he is in trouble, I told him that's the only way he would will be saved, telling the truth .
The thing about law profession, they are crafty and learned, I had to gamble to break his mind, if I had come facing in directly, he prone to bring interesting questions and theory to kick me of balance. But if faced with supernatural being, it's entirely a different story. Immediately I got what I needed from him
I possessed him And i made him shoot his family. To throw in off balance in jail, not to be able to think correctly, if not, I my identity would be found out after all I still a young man with little experience.
I took both of them to my basement, studied the file along with what my mum had. My mum's info knew their names and some info but I needed more info, more pictures, ola was her brother. He was an importer dealing with cars, the 2nd child of the family and the third, Timi an engineer and the other two were prominent doctors, they had help from their eldest brother governor boston who was a governor of the state. I figured that when it come to the matter of Valentina my mother, since they stole her wealth to become prominent men in life, they will response to rapid threat that seek to destroy their political paparazzi. It worked better than I hope for.
Firstly, I used the lawyers ray to call from his phone the four targets that night since he had access to them telling them to meet me the day they receive a text message to collect the evidence, knowing it was the lawyer they will believe him.
To further clear doubt and create perplexed atmosphere, I controlled ray and Mike to the central hospital on a planned date, they set up the c4 explosives around flammable tanks and substances, I sat at a distance controlling the own affair. It didn't raise any suspicion because everyone knew Mike. I just replied with morning and I am in a bit of a hurry when he is questioned by his friends,
I hated that hospital, I stood remembering my mother's death bed, I decided to make a scene to draw public attention ensuring that the police will come. I went to the middle of the hall and then I point the g*n at the forehead of Mike and I shot him through the skull. And held pedestrian and doctors in the hospital as my hostage until the attention of the cops was drawn. The swat team was involved cause it became a serious hostage situation, I shot one person every 15minutes to ensure the swat arrived, and then I came out pointing the g*n to his head and then, I blew up the entire damn building to rumbles.
CCN TV broadcasted the entire thing. He was then arrested. The attention of my mother's brother was successful, they will be afraid for him to talk especially when I just called them a few days ago. When ray was interrogated, I ensure to corporate, so I don't get any beating after all I will feel pain,
I waited for the news to broadcast the day for his court trails and then with his phone , I sent my uncles a message to meet a guy in black hoody to collect the evidence, They were curious to know who had the evidence.
Days before the court trails, I haven't gone to school, so I decided to go on day off and I came home from the apartment I rented and here she was standing at my door with little or no damage done, I was surprised,
" Bella, you are alright? I questioned
"Of course I am alright, I was attacked but I put up a fight".
"You did what? Surprised
"I might looked simple but what I gone through those days are far worse than the attacks I have experienced"
"Here you go again, what is so great about your past? I raise my eyebrow
"Curious! Why don't you go on a date with me and I will let you know "she spoke solemnly
"Enough of that date thing's am not going on a date, I have no time for love"
"I am not giving up on you, I will get what I want, maybe I should tell you after you kiss me", lol she cornered her eye looking at me, As if she was testing the water before placing her foot.
"Quit joking, I have no time for love"
I wondered what happened to Marta attacks.
Bella kept coming, she brought lunch box preparing food for me, I ignore it, she writes lesson note when I was not around, she got my phone number and then a barrage of I love you text and calls embarrassed my phone, she pops up everywhere I go . When I did not show up at school for a while nor the house, she questioned me but I never told her anything, she began to stalked me.
…
I found the governor's house, it was hard to see the governor, tinted glass, amour vehicle, extreme body guard, I just wanted to study the nuisance, and soon, I sketch the governor talking to me. Marta did all the work, the governor dully came to me and shook me, and it pained me I couldn't tell him I was going to kill him before he became my doll.
I became the governor for a few days using him, i looted huge amount of money then transferred them deliberately to his brothers account and his relatives. i kept accounts and record of my corruption, I did it in such a way that the corrupt commission police department could not close a blind eye to the theft and they began to investigate him down to his relatives.
On the day of the court trial, I control him to board a commercial flight and at the same time, I met up with my suppose uncles , I told them what I did to the governor and narrated how I intended to kill them. They tried to pounds me, but Marta entered into their bodies and I controlled them into the court.
I also control the judge to set free the lawyer to cause a deliberate the commotions. And then the highlight of the main dish. I controlled the governor, the flight attendant and the pilots and then I sent the plane down the court room with boston pulling the lever I swiftly crash the plane to the court room killing everyone with it. People dead estimated to be more than 3000 people however it triggers a new beginning. A beginning that started my sorrows
....
....
Marta was so over joy for the souls I have killed using her powers, she claims she has not seen any masterpiece of death, a scenario master minder I was, the police station was in chaos, the swat body guards had being killed with tons of death, their hands were full to the brim. Though I had destroyed the evidence of Marta, I blew up the central hospital so that the hands of Marta imprinted across the victim won't be discovered, the governor and everyone I had controlled, simply shooting them will turn the case to serial murders and will attract unwanted attention from Brilliant detective, I had to cover my tracks while destroying the bad guys and also re-opening the case however the police were still very much clever. From the CCTV and black box, they notice several Black Hand imprints on some victims and few people I controlled but they were perplexed to understand what was going on however the police had released a man, a detective from jail named robin. He said to be very good with cases with supernatural phenomenon .
Gov buston case was all over the news ,he was fame the most wicked and satanic governor of the time, people wanted revenge and they went to the governor's house setting it ablaze to calm their dead love ones, most of the relative I transferred money was arrested and account frozen however I had more work to do. I needed justices for my mother, I wanted the world to see it but I made a mistake, I was careless in the quest for vengeance,
Bella stalked me and she saw me with the governor, she saw me talking to invincible Marta severally, she heard me talking to my mother's brothers before I possessed them, though she didn't understand all I was doing, I felt pain, Marta manipulated me. She could have told me but she kept quiet until I spotted her knowing I would be forced to kill her. I stood looking at Marta. I had never felt loss.
"Why, why, why didn't you tell me, why didn't you stop her, you said you were going to confine her to a wheelchair or coma. Why did you not do it?
I TRIED SEVERALLY, I EVEN SEND GUYS TO I ATTACK HER BUT ANYTIME I COME CLOSE TO HER, SOMETHING REPELS MY POWERS. I DON'T LIKE HER BUT AS IT STANDS SHE WILL GET IN YOUR WAY EJI, YOU HAVE TO END HER.
I got home that day, I felt down as if I lost my mother for the second time, bringing myself to kill her was hard; i quivered holding my sketchbook, for the first time that sketchbook had caused a fear in me. Marta told me to make her disappear, of course she was happy, I sketch Bella with heavy heart jumping off a popular bridge named central bridge by her. I couldn't look at the version. The urge to kill began to died slowly.
"I guess it's all over now, the next morning, I dress up for school, I stood at the door, hoping and wishing she would be outside, I pulled the door but she wasn't there. I felt sad, I slowly walked to school, I felt loneliness for the first time, I began to regret my actions, Marta felt it well that's her gain, a price for power will bring sadness, I got to school, I slide the door open.
To my amazement as my eyes while open
She was sited in class.
"What?
"Good moooorning ! Eji, how is your night?
Bella stood smiling at me as if nothing had ever happened. At that time, I heart has never being this excited. At the same time, I was perplexed, lost of words to what might have gone wrong. Did the sketchbook powers wear off or Marta changed her mind. What was going on?
"Why are you here?
"Huh? Bella raised an eye brown
" I mean hi, please excuse me for a moment, I have to use the restroom".
I ran to the toilet, I was seriously perplexed, my heart was glad like butterfly but my mind was in chaos,
Marta? What happened? how come she still alive.
I AM AS CONFUSED AS YOU ARE EJI, I TOLD YOU, I HAVE TRIED MY BEST IN KILLING HER BUT SOMETHING REPELS MY POWER, SHE WAS ON HER WAY HOME WHEN MY CLAWED TRY TO REACH HER AND SOMETHING FROM HER KEPT FIGHTING WITH ME, FINALLY, MY HATRD GAVE IN AND I GRAB HER NECK AND TOOK HER TO THE BRIDGE, SHE WAS ABOUT TO JUMP OFF INTO THE RIVER WHEN SHE SUDDENLY REGAIN HER MIND.
"What? Is there weakness to marta's power or am i in love with her, or does it have to do with my feelings for her.
AS MUCH AS I DON'T LIKE IT, I THINK YOU NEED TO GO OUT ON A DATE WITH HER, FIND OUT HER WEAKNESS AND END HER.
" Marta, i need you to do a few things for me" I am going to test something out
WHAT DO YOU NEED
When we go on dates, I want you to deliberately cause harm her way, I will draw three different scenarios and then conclude my theory.
OK DARLING
And so I walked to class to meet up with Bella.
"Hi, Bella ,I was wondering if you would still go on a date with me this weekend, let's go out on a date, I have decided to go on a date with you"
Her eyes wide open in surprise.
"Eh! Da daaa date" Bella was so happy she almost kissed me and what's weird the entire class was staring at us. Chuckling.
That open the window of friendship I never planned for, Bella and I began to walk home every day talking about series of stuff, we had similar attributes when it come to music and anime from that day and other days she brought lunch, she loved cooking, the lunch from home was so mouth watery that I forgot my revenge never the less I still did not loss focus to what I was doing, soon, I decided to test what Marta had said, not for Marta but for me, I was curious, maybe this might be my way out from Marta's grasp.
First scenario, Bella and I walking home from school then someone throws a flower pot from a room aiming for Bella head.
I had plan the scene and so we walked talking, a few meters away close to Bella, here comes the flower pot, I observed her cross necklaces strapped around her neck . It began to gleam bright light , however am not sure she knew what the necklace was doing, she suddenly decide to hug me at that point in time and the flower pot fell to the ground,
It felt like another entity was around her. I believe they call them guardian angels, I did not understand, it was mysterious, it possible, if ghost and demons do exist so should angels.
The second day, I drew a scenario of her being involved in an accident, we were walking side by side on the way, a car suddenly left is lane heading straight for her. Marta and I were watching a few meters away on purpose to see what happens. A hand from nowhere pushed me from my back over to Bella standing in front of the oncoming car .
I had no choice but to swiftly move Bella from harm's way or else I would be crush. I felt an understanding that this entity pushing me was sign to warn me. If anything is going to happen to her, then I am going in for it. I had caused fear in people but, this time I began to experience fear. I was just testing is not as if I didn't like Bella. And that day arrived, a date to know Bella's past.
