Immediately I found myself back in my room and Isabella also appeared.
"Isabella" I whispered and for the first time smiled up at her.
"Holla Chris. I never knew you were this brave. But that doesn't stop the fact that your life is in danger."
"You must have seen everything I guess."
"I did and you can just let me be. You can just forget about me because I can't let you die because of me." She lowered her head and shrugged off.
Staring at her melted my heart and I strolled toward her. "I can't let you be this way, Isabella. I'll do whatever it takes to make you have rest. Let's leave the Goddess's words and worry about how to get to your guy. This is my fight now. And I promise you that I'll never give up till I conquer."
"Chris the sea Goddess has powers and she will do all it takes to see you don't survive."
"Then allow me to worry about that Isabella. If I die, I die a hero but I'm never going down without a fight. I am ready. Are you ready?"
"I never knew such caring and brave men still exist, Chris. Yes, I am ready."
"So what's the plan and how many days do you have left?"
"Firstly, my ex lives in another city, Chris. We need to get to him and you need to make him take you to that beach the same day. I'm so sorry I didn't tell you earlier but if my body is not removed from the ground tomorrow night right before midnight I'll be stuck forever and my spirit will never have rest. Only when the first task is achieved will I tell you the next."
"Why haven't said this since, Isabella? I need to start heading to the park right now."
"But you said you got no money, Chris."
"I'm a military student, I already handled that. The little money on me will take me to the park and will lead me to where ever he is. When I reach the city, he will do the rest. So which state is he in, Isabella?"
"Lagos, Chris."
"You mean you came from Lagos? And you're Yoruba?"
"Yes, I am Yoruba." She smiled. "But how did you handle the transport money issue?"
"Curious now?" I chuckled and winked at her. "Well, soldiers are normally given a pass, meaning they can go anywhere without paying as long as they are with it. It's like a written signed note. I borrowed one of my soldier friend's pass. Since that is settled, I'll need privacy to dress up please."
"But I don't wanna leave Chris, moreover, it's not like I don't see through your clothes and I saw your dick that night you came out to pee."
"What!" I shrieked, wide-eyed. "You saw what?"
"Just dress up already" she laughed but suddenly frowned and lowered her head. "I'm just wondering how you can be so free and happy when your life is in danger."
"Yours will be in danger right now Isabella if you don't turn back and stop staring at my dick. I wonder how naughty you were when you were alive." I glared at her. Although her head was lowered, she couldn't stop staring at my dick. Gosh, I wish I could pluck out her eyes.
She flushed and rolled her eyes. "I was a good girl and I do miss being alive but I don't regret my actions and I'm so lucky to have met you. Thanks, Chris for this journey you're about to make for me. Your name will never be forgotten."
Lightning flashed immediately after she said that and her skin glowed.
"Thank you too" I retorted already getting used to her glowing powers. "I'm done, let's start going already. I'll be taking night bus. It's a long day tomorrow."
We turned to leave but the door immediately clicked locked and the room suddenly became so dark that it was hard to see a thing.
"THIS IS YOUR LAST WARNING SPECIAL BEING. STAY AWAY FROM THIS JOURNEY!" A sudden terrifying voice barked.
I didn't even care about the voice and with full force, I ran and broke down the door, and off I went to the park with Isabella by my side.
Just a few meters away from my house it started raining so heavily. My clothes were all drenched.
"Chris you need to find shelter, you can't continue in the rain," Isabella said, staring tenderly at me.
I shook my head. "We don't have much time left. I don't want to miss the night bus. This must be the Goddess's handwork to slow me down."
Ignoring her other words to turn back, I kept walking in the rain till I luckily boarded a cab to park.
MINUTES LATER... IN THE PARK.
"Oga you dey go? Which state you dey go?" A haggard-looking man with dreadlocks inquired in pigeon English– an English-like language often used in the black countries instead of main English.
"Lagos" I replied staring at the signboard on top of the bus.
"Ahh oga, you get luck oo, na just one person remain. Oya go buy ticket sharp sharp make we dey go. Time don go."
"I'm a military student Sir and this is my pass." I showed him my pass.
"Oga we no dey do that kind thing here o" he mumbled and frowned. "Abeg go pay money."
"Do you want me to do it the hard way and are you even the driver?"
"I no be driver sha but we no dey accept that kind thing here."
"Please I don't wanna lose my mind. If I do you will regret ever being born. Get me the driver."
I...," he wanted to say but suddenly, his eyes changed to glowing white. "DEATH LURKS AROUND YOU SPECIAL BEING. ARE YOU SO BLIND THAT YOU CAN'T SEE YOU CAN'T FIGHT AGAINST ME? THIS IS YOUR LAST WARNING TO GO BACK!" He said in the voice of the sea Goddess and fainted.
The workers in the park rushed him immediately and took him away perhaps thinking he might be sick but only I and Isabella knew what just happened.
"Chris, we can still turn back now," Isabella whispered.
I ignored her and immediately a guy walked in.
"Are you the driver?" I inquired.
"Yes, I am sir."
"That's nice, I am headed to Lagos. I'm a military student and I'm in a hurry. This is my pass, can I enter?"
"Yes sir, why not? Who is in the front? Please go over to the back, and let him seat here. Our road is clear now."
And that was how I boarded a VIP bus without payment and off we went to Lagos.
*
In between the way, I started feeling so cold.
My wet clothes already dried on my body.
My teeth were clenching and unclenching.
"Chris I'm so sorry" Isabella whispered.
"Ssh," I used my hand as a sign so she will be quiet and she didn't say any other word.
Halfway through the journey, we got our first attack. I knew it was one because I don't believe in coincidence. At a glance, I knew it was the handwork of the Goddess again. And this time it was massive.
Our bus started shaking with full force. A tire burst. People were already screaming but I held my peace.
When I thought it was all over I started feeling a force suffocating me.
The wind became so rough and the rain intensified so greatly with a series of lightning flashing and thunder rumbling.
The driver managed to stop the car but there was no how he could come down to fix the tire. I coughed out hoping to get back myself but instead, it worsened. It felt like a force was restricting my airflow. "Isabella I'm dying" I whimpered, rubbing my nose. "I can't breathe. I can't breathe!" But then a force I don't know how to explain took over me even before she could say anything and I ran out in the rain and uttered in a commanding tone; "My name is Prince Christopher a special being who sees both flesh and spirit, I am the bridge between ghost kingdom and human kingdom and I believe I got some powers so I command thou spirit from the Goddess to Leave now!" Instantly it left. That was the very first time I believed in that adage that says; 'There is power in a spoken word.' But then again, it was still raining and we had to wait for the rain to stop before changing the tire. After which, we took off again. * We arrived at Lagos at exactly 6 pm after all the fights and I co
"For a moment then, I thought you walked up to my door just to die. Yea, I thought you were dead. But that's past tense anyway, I hope you are ok and what's your name since you already know mine?" "I'm fine Chris and my name is Prince Christopher." "It's nice to meet you, namesake." He smiled. "We need to hurry because we will take a short boat to the beach and grab some more clothes so you don't catch a cold." "I'm not a lady buddy. Stop with the romantic words and gestures." He chuckled and patted me on the shoulder and Isabella winked at me. "What's the name of the beach Allen?" I asked ignoring Isabella. "Kamp Ikaare Beach Resort" he retorted and off we went to his car. "What about shovels Allen?" I asked as we were about to enter the car. "I hid those pieces of stuff there. What we will use to wrap her body is there also, let's just hope soil animals haven't eaten what I wrapped her body with and start feeding on it." "Let's hope so then" I replied and we entered and zoom
"Show yourself, you coward! I hate beings who are afraid to show themselves and where the fuck am I?!" I thundered at him. "You're in the dream world. And tonight you will fight against yourself." The voice laughed and a figure appeared. My jaw slacked as I stared shockingly at him with wide eyes. Standing before me is a replica of me. It was mere like I was staring at myself. "How is this possible? How can you look exactly like me?" I asked rubbing my eyes to be sure I was seeing right and I sure was! "Because I am you. I am your dark side and this is a dream being played in your head. Whatever happens here, happens in the earthly realm. If you die here you will be dead in the earthly realm but if you survive then you will wake up in the earthly realm too but I doubt you will. You will have to fight me to die or survive," he whispered grinning. "I have no time for this. I am on a mission and time is not on my side. Let me go." "You will have to fight for your freedom my able sel
"IF WE TAKE HER BODY WITHOUT THE NORMAL RIGHTS DONE, SHE WILL BE BANNED FOREVER. HER SPIRIT WILL ROAM THE FACE OF THE EARTH FOR ETERNITY LEAVING HIM VULNERABLE TO US TO TAKE HIS LIFE BECAUSE HE FAILED HIS QUEST. WE WILL WIN IN BOTH WAYS." "GO NOW AND LET IT BE DONE," the Goddess commanded and they vanished. The light disappeared too. My body was soaked in heat by the time the light disappeared and I lowered my head. "Help me heavenly being. This is not just my fight alone," I prayed silently and rushed to Chris who was still sleeping soundly. "Wake up buddy." I tapped him. "We need to leave now. Our lives and that of Isabella are in danger. We need to take her body away from here now." He woke up the moment I mentioned Isabella and we rushed out carrying our bags. Luckily for us, we packed before sleeping. We were about to enter the car Isabella's body was placed in when they appeared. Yes, the three mermaid Princesses. I saw an expression I could term shock cross their faces an
"How would I have told you that Isabella died in my arms? You will think I killed her, I was afraid of that." "So you hid such information from me!" She barked, her eyes glaring daggers at him. "You need to be arrested." "Mum, please it hasn't gotten to that," I replied instead. "Please we got a more pressing need at hand." "I'll get this young man here arrested before that," she said and was about to go out but I flared up. "OK! Go ahead and call the police since that is what you feel is the pressing need now! Your daughter needs rest and we got only tomorrow left and you're threatening someone. For your information, I'm a military student from Nasme barracks in Makurdi, Benue state. Even if police officers of 10 police stations and their DPO come here they won't lay a finger on him. Do you even know all we've suffered to get here?!" I growled furiously. "Chris let's go please," I added, already walking out. I feel so pissed. Could have punched her so hard if she happened to be a
I had expected our journey to be full of obstacles and disruptions from the Goddess but our journey was so peaceful and nice that we arrived at Abariba at exactly 8 Am just as mum said we would. "Firstly, we need to get a coffin," mum said and we searched and got one. But then I felt we were being attacked because after purchasing the coffin none of the people had the sacrificial offerings mum said we needed or if they had none accepted to sell. We tried and tried till it got really late. The time was already 8 pm. We had spent all day long trying to get things but succeeded in getting only the coffin. It was so hurting to my soul. "Thought we told you we will be back. Well, we are back and we came but in a bad luck way," a voice whispered in my ears and I stared around but saw no one. "Mum, can you write the list of the things needed for me" I mumbled, taking a second to look at mum who looked so weary and exhausted. Her breathing wasn't even steady anymore. "But for what son?"

"Isabella is that really you," a sad voice cried. "Are you back? "Isabella!" He screamed and woke up so sweaty, panting heavily. CHRIS Since the departure of Isabella, I lost good sleep. It's always been nightmares upon nightmares and that made me start dropping drastically in school performance. I lost interest in everything, I lost interest in my social life, I started loving my own company alone, and updated my F******k bio to 'introvert.' "Isabella come back to me." I cried. "I love you so much. I've tried dating since you left but nothing is working out, I miss you." "Chris baby what's wrong?" My mum asked, walking into my room in a panic. She must have heard my scream. I'm on holiday. Decided to spend it with mum. That's why she's here right now staring at me with curious and tender eyes. My mum just like Isabella's mum is young and beautiful. I look nothing like her though. She is fair-skinned, tall, not so fat, just moderate and has one of the best smiles I've ever seen

It's currently the fifth day on earth. Chris and Isabella were about to leave back to the sea kingdoms but Isabella suddenly screamed and almost slumped but Chris was fast enough to grab hold of her. He carried her back to their room and called Goddess Alexia who appeared immediately.She checked Isabella's body and said; "It's surprising Chris. But congrats! Your baby is still breathing in the womb of your wife and will soon be out!"Chris couldn't contain his joy as he went all out to get her so many gifts and even began buying baby stuff for his baby yet unborn. The clothes he bought for both gender since he wasn't so sure of the gender she will give birth to. Isabella was so happy and shared the news with their mums and they celebrated all day.After the good news Goddess Alexia conveyed, Chris decided that they won't be going back to the sea kingdoms till she gives birth. In his words, he said; "Our mums have been with us since the early days of this pregnancy so
It's been days since Chris Allen left and Sandra has been a mess. She hardly eats and always stays indoor. Her mum has tried comforting her but nothing seems to be working. All she's been doing since he left is drowning herself in tears and often sleeps off only when she takes alcohol which has been scaring the hell outta her mum. Her mum damning everything called Allen yesterday and he promised to be back immediately and just like he promised he came back at night and tried entering their room but Sandra refused to open the door for him even after he and her mum begged several times. He ended up sleeping in the guest room only to wake up to see her sitting beside him with tears in her eyes."Sandra" he called and sat up abruptly staring tenderly at her.Sandra went into his arms sobbing softly and his heart melted. He gently disengaged from the hug and stood up. He picked up his phone and dialed a number."What are you doing?" Sandra asked staring closely at hi
Chris and Isabella arrived at the hospital and after Isabella went for a checkup, the doctor confessed that she can't find any baby. She said; "I'm sorry Mr. Chris but we can't find a baby in your wife's womb. It's weird that her belly is still huge like if there's a baby in it but we couldn't find one. I'm so sorry. You can also take her to other hospitals so that they can check too. I'm so sorry once more."Chris banged his fist on the doctor's table and stood up. He glanced at Isabella who was weeping softly and helped her stand before pulling her into himself in a soothing embrace. "Stop crying baby. We still have Alexia. We will visit her once we get home." Isabella slowly nodded and both walked out."I'm sorry Chris!" The doctor screamed after them but they ignored her. They got out and he opened the front door for Isabella to get in after which he got into the driver's side, started the car, and sped off. They arrived home and walked in to meet their mums in t
It's a day now and Isabella hasn't woken up. Her eyes have been closed while her hands have been on her belly. Chris has been so anxious that he couldn't sleep the previous night. All he's been doing is walking around with his hands on his head while cursing incoherently.Not being able to allow her to lay on the floor in the cold temple of Goddess Alexia since Goddess Alexia and her sister couldn't do anything to revive her he decided to take her home and that he did. Getting home the previous night he laid her on the bed and didn't go out throughout the night. He sat beside her and kept rubbing her hair while whispering soft words to her not minding the time. He sat there rubbing her hair with tears in his eyes till it was dawn only to realize that her body was getting cold by each passing moment. 'Is she dying?' He debated and stood up abruptly. "Only dead people get cold. Does that mean that she's dead? Nope, Isabella can't be dead. She can't die in such way. All she
The engagement party of Princess Linda has come and gone, and it was the best among others. There was a lot to drink and eat and the kingdom beings couldn't help but keep thanking the Queen for her kind gestures. Lucas was present as he promised to be and he and Linda made most of the beings without lovers so jealous due to their numerous love plays. "Our princess wants to kill us with her lovey-dovey plays with Prince Lucas!" one of the beings had screamed and the whole beings burst out laughing while dancing."You ain't so old to die for love" Princess Linda had replied sarcastically and rolled her eyes at the being and the beings burst out laughing once more.Goddess Amphitrite gave a short speech after the dance was over. She said, "I feel so pleased to be the mother of all these gorgeous females who has decided to give me nothing but happiness. My heart is filled with so much joy cause my first daughter has just made me more than proud. History shall tell of them. The
The screen fades away at the point where Maria was burnt to ashes and she drops to the ground in tears. Giovanni stares at her and shakes his head doing his best to hold back his tears. He squats and pats sleeping Jalen on her cheek."It's time to go home" he whispers and she gently flutters open her eyes. "You succeeded" she smiles and pecks him on both cheeks before he helped her sit up. "I wouldn't let you die for what you know nothing about and what I didn't even commit." He rubs her cheek softly staring lovingly at her.Maria strolls to them and kneels before them with tears in her eyes."Why is she still alive?" Jalen asks glaring at her and clenching her fist.Giovanni rubs her back and unfolds her clenched fist. "You've every right to be angry Jalen. But Maria here isn't at fault. She thought I raped her and also ordered my friends to rape and kill her. But the truth is that I never did. Just like her, I was attacked by my friends and they used their powe
Giovanni gets to the lake and climbs into the canoe waiting for it to move since there wasn't a paddle dropped for paddling but it wouldn't move. 'Why isn't it moving?' He thinks looking around. He ruffles his hair and stamps his feet making the canoe tremble. 'Maybe it requires voice command. Yes!' He thinks more.Move! Go!" He shrieks hoping that it would make it move as he thought but nothing worked. The sky was already darkening and nighttime growls of animals could be heard. His body tenses up when it dawned on him that his almost losing his task and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead in the cold climate. "I can't lose. I've come so far already to lose" he thinks out loud.{{What do I do? Do you both know why the canoe isn't moving}}>>I don't. Just keep trying<<((I don't too. Let's just hope something works))"Hmm," he exhales and lowers his head but suddenly looks up and smiles. "I think I know what to do. I just hope he accepts it"
