***morning***
I woke up early to prepare for school,I checked the money and it was still there
soon,I was done then I took the money and hid it inside my back pack and left for school.i was so early that of found no one in school
I sat down on my sit then brought out my textbook and began reading but understood nothing since my conscience was still blaming me
people began coming one after the other then school activities started.
I couldn't concentrate in studies throughout the morning.it seemed classes where too long as I kept on. checking my wrist watch
I felt relieved once I heard the bell ring for break.not long,I felt a touch from behind.when I turned,I saw the demon after my life
"baby boy"she said smiling at me
"what do you want from me?"I asked almost immediately
"my payment"she said with a dangerous smirk
"grace to be sincere,am not in for this"I spoke with courage
"oh,do you want the school authority to see this?, remember,I can always get away with anything because am a woman and a beautiful one at that"she said and fear gripped me
"take this easy please"I pleaded
"my payment so I can get out of here" she said stretching out her hand
I quickly got my back pack and brought out the money and place on her palm shivering
she then left to another sit then Michael came and sat in front of me
"are you now one in the game?"he asked
"what do you mean?"I asked
"that's her game"he said
"are you one?"I asked
"yeah, we all are now into the game"he said as he stood up and left
u sat down imagining myself and the mess I've gotten myself into.i couldn't think straight anymore so I left the class
***library***
I picked up a book from the shelf without even checking the name
I was about opening the book when I slumped,I lay facing the ceiling then everything became blank as I closed my eyes
soon,I saw lights again as I opened my eyes gently,I was in my dad's room,I began imagining how I got in there then a young girl with white garment appeared
"come, follow me"she said and turned to leave, then I noticed a blood stain on the back of her garment
"who are you?"I asked
"never mind, just follow me"she said and left,I saw her pass through the door without even opening it
I followed her and when I reached out my hands to open the door,my hands passed through it,I began wondering what was going on
immediately I passed,I saw myself outside and the girl standing beside me
I began wondering when we passed through the parlour,at this instance,she held my hand
"where are you taking me to?I asked as I got no reply
immediately, everything went blank then we appeared in a shrine
I saw my parent sitting at one end of the shrine
"baba I really need a child, how can I be married for fifteen years without a child,baba you have to do something"my father said looking worried
"like I told you earlier,wait for your time, your time is coming"baba said
"but baba I want it to be fast,I want to carry my own baby"my mom cried out
"baba do something please"my dad said
baba did some incantations and shook his head
"there's a way out"baba finally said after some moments of silence
"what's that baba"my parent chorused listening attentively
"only if you can afford the head of a virgin"baba said and continued in his incantations
my parent whispered to each other then finally agreed on something
"baba,we will bring the head"my dad said then baba dismissed them
"what was that?"I asked the girl
"quite"she whispered.i was already covered with fear. "close your eyes"she said and I obeyed. "open it"she said.when I opened it,I saw my parent with a black sack bag
"baba, I brought the head"my dad said immediately after greeting him
"oh, that's good"baba said and continued "it will be done"he finally said
my parent began rejoicing but stopped immediately they heard baba's voice
"but"baba said and began his incantations "this child will be your doom"baba finally said
my parent never bothered and continued rejoicing
slowly, everywhere went blank untill it turned white then I woke up and found myself in the hospital
