*** Mpande sat on the edge of his bed and sighed looking at his wet briefs, they are wet from a wet dream he just had of him making love to Hills....It felt so real that he enjoyed it and even came hard screaming her name, right now he’s embarrassed and angry at himself for dreaming about her like that*** Mpande: this is witchcraft ***he said to himself as he looked at his wet briefs*** Mpande: or maybe it’s an evil spirit disguising as Ntabeni....yah that’s it ***he nodded as he tried to convince himself....he picked his phone and made a call*** Voice: hello....Mpande Mpande: Ma Mom: yebo Mpande...is everything ok....wa founa ekseni kangaka ( why are you calling this early) ***he sighed*** Mpande: ma ugogo Shlahla u sa phila ( ma is gogo Shlahla still alive) Mom: heh...ummm yebo why are you asking Mpande: are you two still fighting Mom: yebo asikhulumisani namanje ( we are in no speaking terms even now)...why Mpande: ingathi uyangiloya ma ( I think she’s bewitching me) Mom: heh Mpande: uthumela izinto zakhe ma....ngiphupha ngilala nentobazane yesdudla ( she’s sending her evil things to me ma…I dream having seggs with a fat lady) Mom: uthini wena Mpande ( what are you saying Mpande) Mpande: she’s bewitching me ma....im coming home tomorrow you need to take me to a strong sangoma....uAlpha is not around and I can’t wait for him to come back Mom: ok...ok.... don’t worry I’ll take you....but why do you think it’s her sending otokolosi to you Mpande: how can you ask that ma.... you know that woman hates you and she used to bewitch us while I was growing up...remember that time she said she won’t rest until you suffer just because her cat died in our yard and we don’t know what killed it ***his mother sighed*** Mom: yes I remember but....

Masai: why didn’t she tell me Mpande: you’re in a hospital koti and you’re also going through a lot so understand ***she sighed*** Mpande: its nothing serious and no one was hurt I just want my car fixed nje....if I had insurance on it I wouldn’t even bother her but I don’t...plus she said she has insurance so.... ***she sighed*** Masai: yeah she does.... im just sad that she’s going through things alone because she doesn’t wanna stress me.... Hills has a good heart Mpande and she tends to bottle things inside...she’s dealing with a lot right now and im just scared that one of these days she’s gonna crack....She was once depressed after her twins death and I don’t want her to go back to that dark hole again….she deserves a break ***she sighed as tears ran down her cheeks and she wiped them*** Masai: I’ll pay for your car just let her be please Mpande: ummm ***he hesitated*** Mpande: I don’t think Alpha will be happy with me Masai: its my money Mpande Mpande: look its not about the money....its the....principle ***she frowned*** Masai: what are you taking about Mpande: you won’t get it...look I won’t stress her or harass her....i just wanna tease her a bit to never use her phone while driving ***he lied*** Masai: mara Mpande Mpande: let me have some fun Masai man.....maybe she’ll forget her troubles for a bit....its just some harmless tease nje haw ***she just shook her head not believing what she was hearing*** Mpande: im no monster or a creep....i could use my ways to get them but I don’t wanna seem like a creep that’s why im asking you.....i mean no harm kotis *** what the hell is he doing “ he thought to himself” and Masai just sighed over the phone *** Masai: ok I’ll give them to you but I’ll tell her to expect your call Mpande: no problem ...sho koti Masai: shap ***they ended the call*** Mpande: what the hell am I doing....uyahlanya Mpande ***he huffed roughly brushing his hair*** Mpande: I need to get cleansed....im being bewitched here ***he shook his head and went back to the bathroom*** ____ MOERA ( NARRATED) Drench: what the hell is wrong with you Moera....have you now turned into a serial killer huh ***She’s sitting there crying with her head all over the place and Drench is busy pacing up and down*** Drench: first it was your twin now your friend Moera: I didn’t mean to I swear Drench: you slid her throat Moera right after you stabbed her multiple times so yeah you meant it ***she just cried*** Drench: what’s happening with you...do you see the path you’re on...you’re losing yourself Mo and I don’t like it one bit Moera: she betrayed me Dre.....and she’s not my family so she deserved it ***Drench stopped pacing and he looked at her with his hands on his waist and he chuckled shaking his head*** Drench: you think taking someone’s life is child’s play huh ***she didn’t say anything she just wiped her tears off*** Drench: well its not!!! Moera: its not like it’s the first time Drench: what ***he asked with a frown on his face*** Moera: stop judging me Dre....i know you’ve done worse so please.... ***Drench chuckled*** Moera: I just need help with cleaning up and you can shout and judge me all you want please ***Drench just looked at her clearly and he saw why his brother doubted marrying her....She was too much for him...he couldn’t handle her...he was never gonna be able to handle her...she’s just a rare crazy breed all together and he needs to tame her or she’ll be his downfall cause she acts irrational when she’s under pressure ....he sighed and sat back down*** Drench: my boys are busy cleaning up ***she breathed out*** Moera: thank you Drench: don’t thank me as of yet..... you owe me your life from now on ***he said with a serious look on his face and she swallowed hard*** Moera: just make this disappear please Drench: remember if I do this I own you *** she looked at him shocked, she could see he’s serious.....she looked down....she knew she cant make this go away on her own and she cant asks help from her mother cause she will never hear the end of it and even though there are some unresolved issues with her she cant have her involved in this....She raised them and gave her a better life and for that she loves her even though she favours Masai over her....Masai “she thought”..... She wonders how hurt she is and how much she hates her now.....Now she accepts that Selina deserved it, she just ruined her reputation and now she just signed her life away to a devil...yes Drench is the devil himself.....he can be heartless and cold hearted and now she owes him her life, she should’ve called her uncle instead but it’s too late now cause she didn’t think this through....She panicked and made a hasty decision...she sighed defeated....she should’ve tortured Selina some more before killing her “she thought”*** Moera: ok Drench: just like that ***he raised his eyebrow*** Moera: what choice do I have Drench: you do have a choice Mo....you can choose to go to jail...i mean you planned the whole thing so you knew the consequences ***she swallowed hard....she cant believe how quickly he changed from being a concerned Drench to a cold one*** Moera: you didn’t have to put it like that Drench: you said it yourself that its not the first time so you knew what you were doing ***he said getting up and he went to pour himself a drink*** Drench: don’t you want to know what me owning you mean Moera: im sure you gonna tell me ***she said rolling her eyes and Drench chuckled*** Drench: I own that body of yours and your soul Moera: askies ***she said frowning*** Drench: from now on you’re my sex toy....whenever I need to f*ck you avail yourself and ooh sweety...i don’t share....if you give what’s mine to another trust me you’ll regret it....your punishment will be jail for premeditated murder ***she froze looking at him*** Drench: I clean up but I don’t get rid of the evidence for the future and insurance so betray me in any way or give what’s mine to another and you’ll feel my wrath ***he put his glass down after taking a huge gulp*** Drench: stay here for two nights then you can go back to your place...ooh and call your family back before they open a missing persons case...remember you don’t need the popos to be involved ***he winked at her and he walked out and Moera’s tears ran down her cheeks as she started to shake*** Moera: what have I gotten myself into ***she asked herself shaking*** ____ AT AN UNDISCLOSED LOCATION ***The man held his baby and smiled at her.....She was beautiful like her mother....Her mother huh.....tears filled his eyes and he put a baby dummy on her mouth and she sucked with tears in her eyes....his eyes got more teary as he looked at her and images of his wife being killed flashed his mind and tears dropped on top of the blanket he wrapped his baby with....he groaned as the pain from being stabbed got worse and he smiled weakly at his baby*** Man: I love you princess....grow up to be a good and successful woman and never bow down to anyone except God and always acknowledge your ancestors... ***he chuckled weakly*** Man: I guess me and your mother will also be your ancestors so never label us as demons please...we will watch over you and protect you always....Always pray to God my angel...be strong, never doubt yourself and always trust your instincts ***he coughed as he got weaker but he maintained his weak smile looking at her*** Man: I pray and hope the man your mother went to see comes to your rescue.....the fact...the fact that she went to see him for help it...it means she trusted him ***he groaned as the pain made him weak*** Man: I love you my angel....Shariana Ndoniyamanzi Simbine ***he held his child to his chest with the strength he has left and he collapsed on his back still holding her....the door got kicked in and in walked one of the man that stabbed him and he smiled when he saw Ayanda Simbine and his daughter....the child started crying hysterically and he laughed*** Man: well well well....you thought you could run from us huh ***Ayanda coughed out blood and he tried to hold his daughter tight to his chest as she cried*** Ayanda: shhh its ok baby ***he looked at the pale man with dark eyes weakly*** Ayanda: please....don’t hurt her....she did....nothing to you Man: she’s our sacrifice...her blood mixed with some potions will give our master immense powers and her skull will serve as a beautiful souvenir in his office ***he gave Ayanda a creepy smile moving his eyebrows up and down and he laughed*** Ayanda: no...please...she...she’s just a baby Man: no she’s a powerful tool in our world....and master said whomever brings her to him, he will give the person a taste of her special blood and the person will move up the ranks and I cant wait….imagine me dining with the big dogs in our world….those lower ranked fools calling me sir….bowing down to me *** he laughed happily and Ayanda closed his eyes as tears gushed out*** Ayanda: please... ***the man walked closer and he grabbed the baby roughly with her tiny leg and lifted her up as her head faced down ….Ayanda tried to rise his arm to stop the man and the man kicked him and he flew over and hit the wall hard and he fell to the floor*** Man: you ugly little thing....if it wasn’t for master I would be draining your blood right now....aarg maybe I should and lie to him that I couldn’t locate you....yes....yes I should do this...your blood smells divine...im sure I’ll get some powers from drinking it...yes...yes ***the baby continued to cry and Ayanda opened and closed his eyes as he got weaker....he wanted to say something but he lost so much blood and he could see his end....the man unwrapped the blanket on the baby and he ran his long fingernail on her lower arm scratching it so hard that blood started coming out of the scratch....he sucked on the blood on his fingernail and he moaned loud as the blood tasted good and different from all the blood he drank since he became a Vampire...it has a unique taste to it an acquired taste that is addictive and fulfilling *** Man: damn tinny human...no wonder master has been searching for you and your mother.... it’s a pity she asked to be burned to ashes if she doesn’t make it while giving birth....she knew....but you don’t know right ***he laughed then he licked the blood on her scratch and immediately his fangs came out and as he was about to bite her tinny neck his head detached from his neck and a hand took the baby from his hand as his body and detached head fell to the floor....Ayanda opened his eyes and saw another man holding his baby gently in his arms trying to calm her down even though his vision is a bit blurry..... the man went to Ayanda with the baby and he crouched next to him*** Man: hey…im sorry im late Ayanda: my dau...daughter Man: she’s safe....she’s still alive....im Castiel....i don’t know if your wife told you about me ***Ayanda forced a smile on his face and he coughed out some blood giving in now that her daughter is safe *** Ayanda: Shariana Ndoniyamanzi Simbine....that’s her...name ***then he succumb to his injuries...Castiel sighed and he looked at Ndoni and she was no longer crying*** Castiel: I hope you make it Ndoni cause this is far from over ***he got up and he grabbed Ayanda’s hand and dragged him out of the house....he set the house on fire and he looked at Ayanda’s dead body and the baby in his arms *** Castiel: I guess I have to bury daddy now ***he huffed…after he’s done burying Ayanda he made a call to his wife*** Mpumi: hey baby is she safe Castiel: yeah…. Eish i almost didn’t make it on time Mpumi: as long as she’s safe Castiel: yeah but her parents didn’t make it Mpumi: shame….did they harm her Castiel: that bastard scratched her nx…but she’ll be ok Mpumi: I should’ve come with you….i would’ve taught him a lesson first before killing him ***Castiel chuckled*** Castiel: listen to you talking about killing someone Mpumi: mxm wa bora….he was gonna be my first kill Castiel: you know I don’t want you to do that unless its necessary… ***she sighed*** Mpumi: yeah yeah…anyway are you coming with her Castiel: no I know someone I trust who’ll raise her well….she’s also a witch so she’ll also teach her on how to control her powers and also live a normal life Mpumi: mmmmh ok Castiel: I know you wanted a baby girl but not this one my love…lets wait for Theo to have a baby and we will raise him or her ourselves Mpumi: wait for what twenty plus years for that to happen….yho hae Castiel: you’ll never grow old so relax and wait….in the meantime lets f*ck and travel the world ***she laughed*** Mpumi: we can’t travel with Theo baby Castiel: he has his uncles and aunties to take care of him…anyway the lady is here I’ll see you later Mpumi: ok I love you Castiel: I love you too baby ***they ended the call and Castiel waited for the woman *** . . .
