Slayers
1125 Words
I entered into my cell exhausted after being drained. I laid on the prisoner’s single bed
that had been provided for us. The small bed suddenly became too big and I felt so small
and fragile.
My conscience decided to haunt me, as I began to remember my teenage years.
I remembered Uncle Paul, our teenage teacher in church. I remembered how Uncle Paul
would literally be pleading to us during church service to flee from fornication, his popular
saying was:
“s*x outside God’s approved plan is a subtraction tool from the devil. s*x outside God
subtracts from man”
We never took him serious, rather we made jest of his words by using the word subtraction
during our jokes...Anytime we were going to get down with girls, we would jokingly say...
“I am about to go get subtracted”.
Or
“I am going for some subtraction with some multiplication and some additions” ...It was a
joke to hide our real motives from people
“Now, I know it is real, I have actually been subtracted from. Chinaza had said I only have
1% value left in me...” I thought silently in my heart as I laid down defeated on the bed...
A bell sounded... I jumped up from the bed in surprise... I didn’t know what to expect....The
cell doors opened again but this time around, we were served Dinner by 6pm.
The Dinner was served to me by a Lady in White and Grey uniform, as she dropped the
food, she looked me straight in the eye and looked down at a paper she had hideously
kept under the plate. I nodded understanding she wanted me to read it...
After she left, I picked up my food and with great wisdom, I read the little note which read
“Don’t compromise, don’t be afraid of she who cannot save but can only destroy. Fear
God, because He is the only one who can save you...” Tina
Who was this lady? Preaching in this kind of place and she had not been slaughtered by
Chinaza...I decided not to think too much about the lady before Chinaza read my mind.The next day, we were taught about the SLAYERS, We were made to understand that
the Slayers were the s*x Assassins, who infected people with sexually transmitted
diseases, Spiritual attacks and demonic attacks all aimed at killing the victim within a short
time or long time .
Lunch was to be eaten in a common dining room. We all queued up to have our meal.
When it got to my turn I saw the Tina girl again she served me my food and she gave me
a smile I returned.
I walked to an empty table but was later joined by 3 other young men....
“Hi,” One of them greeted me and I replied...
“I am sure you want to kill her too?” He said referring to Chinaza...
“Who doesn’t?” I replied
The three guys exchanged knowing looks like they had a plan and I seemed like someone
who could join them...
“What sup, you guys are planning something?” I asked them
They exchanged looks again, the guy to my left gave a nod...
“If you notice, all the guards here don’t use guns, so why should we be afraid of them?
The POWER House here is Chinaza. Our plan is to gather a lot of likeminded people in
this place and whenever Chinaza is not around, we strike all of them down except Tina...
“Tina?” Who was that? Oh! The girl who brought me the paper!
“Why?” I asked as I wanted to know more about her...
“We heard she is Chinaza’s sister who was brought in as a prey by one of the agents
unknowing to him that she was Chinaza’s sister. Chinaza however cannot kill her sister,
because she is a born again Christian... I hear she spits fire...”
“But why is she still here? God should have delivered her” I asked
“Chinaza doesn’t let anyone out of these doors unless you have signed a pact with her in
blood, that way she knows you can’t betray her”
“So I guess Tina refused to do that?” I asked...“ Yes, preys that cannot be slaughtered by Chinaza becomes domestic slaves here” the
guy said, but immediately he finished his statement he started choking on his food, it felt like someone was choking him and just like in the movies, Chinaza surfaced in front us
with her hands around his neck. We all jumped from the table...
She made sure the poor guy died before she let go of him....
“ I allowed him have his full time of explaining what does not concern him and to let you
know that for me not to be merciful to my sister, I don’t care about anybody.. Lunch is
over....and based on what has happened today, I have a change of mind, I am releasing
you all in the next three days, so you have to tender your proposals on how you intend to
bring in your sperm collection on a daily basis...Note, if I am not impressed with your
proposal, you will become a prey! Get to work!” She said walking away
What was she talking about? I was new here and no one was willing to talk as they had
seen an example of what talking when Chinaza didn’t ask you to talk could cause for
you...
I was turning around to see if someone could help but no one could ....Then I heard her
voice in my heart....
“You will be released in the next three days to the outside world, and you must find a way
of bringing in sperm into your account daily. The day you fail to bring into your account,
you will be severely punished, but for every day you bring in, you will be paid handsomely
in cash..., so go and think on your strategy”....As I looked up I saw her looking at me from
a transparent glass office with a very mean look....
I turned from her and walked towards my cell, I didn’t want to become a prey and for the
first time in five years after school, I was forced by the She devil to put my brain to work....
The next day as people were defending their proposals, I marveled at the rate people
thought of how to get the male sperm into their accounts....
My strategy was different, but I knew it was going to work....
To be continued...
