my agony

chapter 4

After the death of my parent,I couldn't feel myself anymore,I fealt so much sadness within me. Since then,I no longer see the ghost,all I could remember about her was her last words before disappearing into thin air

"Your parents paid Daniels father who was a well known terrorist in the country to kill me and cut off my head so they can make the ritual and have thier own child"

After about a week of mourning,I resumed school. All my friends began running away from me,I was left all alone just because of what happened

Teachers no longer care about me, they no longer mark my assignmens, and they tend to be keeping a long distance from me. The whole Annie's high school turned it's back against me. The only friend that usually came close was Emmanuel,he began acting as the friend in need

One faithful Tuesday,I was in the library reading when Emmanuel came in and knelt down before me

"Emmanuel what are you doing"I asked looking confused

"I came to apologize foy wrong doings"he said pitifully

"I don't get you"I said

"I caused everything,I caused them all"he said as tears flowed freely from his eyes

"Speak up"I half yelled

"I masterminded everything the day you had s*x with Grace, actually, Grace is my girlfriend and I really needed more money so I can buy my textbooks since I used the one my mom gave me for unnecessary stuffs"he said as tears flowed like water,I was short of words

"You mean you…."I couldn't complete my statement as I began to cry like a baby

***How will I ever forgive the person who led me on a wrong path,a person who betrayed his own best friend who trusted him

All because of money?*** I thought

I couldn't withstand the anger in me any longer,I didn't know when I raised the chair I sat on and hit him then he passed out

Everyone inside the library began shouting and running out.

"Call the ambulance and police"I heard the librarian shout

Soon, I heard different sirens from different angles coming towards the library,I knew NY own has finished so I dated not move an inch

"Drop your weapons, your hands on your head"I heard the police say and I obeyed

They handcuffed me and took me into their van and drove off

I slept in the police cell for two days as my uncle constantly visited me,he kept on asking me why I had to hit the Emmanuel with the chair,I kept on ignoring him not wanting to expose the secret of my parents death

Soon,news came to me that Emmanuel was death and I went a lot

"I have finally killed another person, just in months, what's wrong with me?"I asked myself

"Hey boy, wetin dey make you cry"(what is making you cry)one of the criminals I was sharing the cell room with who is popularly known as gentle jack said. He was a furious kidnapper with broad chest and muscles. He usually sits with two of his colleagues which am sure where also captured the same day in the same occasion, they have been the people disturbing my peace in the outdated and worn out police cell,they even made me sleep in the leaky part of the cell

"Come here"he said and I disobeyed and stood still ready to fight anyone who wants to disturb my peace again

"I said come here"he repeated

"It's not that I didn't hear you the first time,it's just that I don't want want to come"I said with courage

"It seems this boy has grown wings,boys go get him"he said referring to his boys. One if them had a broad chest just as their boss but he had a pot belly and the second was slim and flexible.

They came closer as I stood waiting to attack,once they were close enough then I attacked them, was able to defeat them then the boss came himself,we battled for some minutes,we sustained several injuries and the police men in charge seem to be enjoying the show not until I strangled the boss neck and he was close to death then some police men came and rescued him

I was taken to a special cell until my uncle came and bailed me out without standing before the court
