I couldn't believe my eyes.I couldn't believe it
was Nmeka sitting on my bed.Out of fear,I
opened my mouth to scream but couldn't
produce any sound.What could have happened
to my voice.I made to open the door which i
was leaning on,inorder to run away but it
refused opening.I fell to the ground with a
mighty thud.
My heart was beating very fast.
Nmeka laughed and laughed and laughed again.I
stood up,leaning my back tightly against the
door.I wished i could disappear through it at
that point in time.
"Nmeka please don't kill me please,please o,i am
sorry please"I managed to speak at last.
She laughed again and stood up,coming towards
me.I almost fainted.I was panting furiously.I
wished the ground can open up and swallow
me.As she came closest to me,i closed my
eyes.Trembling,i could feel hot water dripping
from my trouser.I knew it was my own urine.I
urinated on my body.
"Open your eyes!"she commanded.Her voice at
this time was filled with anger and rage.
I opened my eyes helplessly.i made to say
something but she shouted at me to keep quiet.
"Jude,since i died my spirit has been
restless.You must go and tell my parents what
happened to me.Secondly,youmust go to the
police and find out where they kept my body.I
can not be burried in another man's land.I must
be burried in my father's compound.Do these
and you will live.OR i will kill you after making
you confess publicly''Nmekademanded.
She came closer to me that it was just an inch
or two separating us.
I felt cold shivers running down my spine.
I opened my mouth in a gape.how can i do these
things she commanded me to do.She further
told me to go to her school and ask about her
room-mate,that she will help me locate her
parents.She told me that i had 3 days to do all
she has said or i will die.She dissappeared.I
opened the door,this time,it yielded.I came out
of my room sweating profusely and panting like
one who ran a race.It dawned on me that i was
in a very big trouble.oh 2go has dealt with
me.Why are all these happening to me why me.I
cried.I really cried.
Two known cultists who lived in my lodge were
finally arrested by the police that fateful day,
leaving me very surprised. I couldn't imagine
what the police had on them.
That very night,i couldn't sleep.I kept hearing
Nmeka's voice over and over again.If i closed
my eyes,it was here image i would see
Very early the next day,i packed few of my
clothes in a little bag and headed to Nmeka's
school to find her room mate.I had to do what
she said inorder to live.I am the only child of my
parents.
While all these were going on,i hid them from
my parents.
I got to her school that morning and saw her
room mate locking the door,with a little
travelling bag by her side.it seems she was
about travelling too.
She didnt recognise me because the day i visited
it was almost dark.I told her i am Nmeka's
friend.She looked at me with suspicious eyes.
"where is she,she has been missing.have you
seen her?"She went on asking questions.
I rather told her''i want to see her parents,can
you be of help?''
She replied that she was going to the village to
settle things with Nmeka's parents.She told me
that Nmeka's parents accused her of knowing
what happened to their daughter since they lived
in the same room.I pitied the poor girl.
I was relieved that at last i would see her
parents.But i never knew what awaited me
