2024-10-29 19:42:56The whole place was filled to the brim as the movie, ‘altar ego’ was being shown. Harmony sat next to her daughter who was beside Vivian. Next to Vivian was the director and other cast of the movie.
Ichabod stood in a corner, standing where he could see Harmony. She was looking extraordinary and he was finding it difficult to believe that this lady wasn’t the same woman that he had married. What kind of trick was this?
Still he tried to maintain his cool, he needed to plan how to get close to this woman, he needed to find a way to get close to her heart...again before the full moon.
He looked at his watch momentarily and then for some reason, he decided to focus on the movie. He couldn’t remember the title but there was something that drew him to it. He kept seeing a man fighting himself for no reason and was busy talking to himself in a foreign language mixed with the English but he couldn’t understand. Sometimes the audience would laugh out loud and ot

Harmony didn’t quite understand what he meant by saying he believed in double personalities more than most people but she took the time to explain the story line to him while they sat together. She made sure he was sitting right next to her while she sat between him and her daughter who sat next to Vivian.Altar Ego was about a man who would never succumb to his other good side and enjoyed doing evil all the time. However, his good side showed up the day he saw a beautiful girl which Harmony played and then he had to battle with his inner evil and his good side.All through the movie, Harmony couldn’t stop looking at Ichabod, he seemed pretty immersed in the movie even though he never really understood most of what was being said apart from when correct English language is spoken, still it was easy for Harmony to explain to him. Ichabod was quiet all through. Part of him could relate with the Akeem or whatever the name was. He still couldn’t understand how Harmony

11:35 PM“Just go in and sleep damn it!”Ichabod cursed under his breath in his new room.He could still hear her pacing up and down as she walked from one room to the other room. He could feel the way she breathed, ‘I love you’ into her daughter’s ears while she tucked her into her bed. Even though it was quite far from his room, Ichabod could feel every movement...every whisper. His transition time was getting closer and he couldn’t control himself that much.The bottle was in his hand and he thought of putting more drops into his tongue...“You imbecile! That will be cheating! I will kill you if you try that nonsense!”He snarled to himself in Odin’s voice.He snapped out of it with a deep grunt....Please Harmony....just go to sleep....**Harmony left Tracy’s bed and was walking out when she heard Tracy’s voice.“Mum, please make daddy come to my Halloween party. I don’t want

In a swift movement, he was in her room. The bed lamp was on, it was a faint red lamp and for a normal human eye, you wouldn’t be able to see much but for a vampire, even in the dark, everything is bright.He watched as she lay peacefully in her bed. Her breath was in a slow movement and her body was covered in her white blanket. Her hair was tucked in a blue satin. She looked as fresh as morning dew in her sleeping state.“Wow! That is one beautiful piece of cake.” Odin said to himself and was immediately standing beside her, so close to her that he brought out his hand and with his index finger, he trailed the side of her cheek down to her jaw line...He could feel Ichabod’s resistance within him so he chuckled to himself...“Calm down idiot. You know that the night belongs to me. Even though you tried everything to stop me from coming out in the day, you can’t stop me from coming out in the night. That will mean getting rid of me forever and that

Odin followed as the little human girl took her to the balcony of the house. There was no light except the reflection of the moonlight. There were two seats as well and she sat on one. Odin grunted, what kind of foolishness was this? So would Ichabod actually turn him into a baby sitter in this night? He thought of using his power on the little girl to send her to sleep immediately but...“I’m so sad Ichabod.” The girl whimpered and this stopped him from doing what he wanted to do.“If you are sad, talk to your mother not me.” He murmured. “My mum doesn’t like my dad.” She said, more like talking to herself. “If he still doesn’t show up at the Halloween party, I am going to be laughed at again. I can’t ask my mum to dress up like my dad again. It’s embarrassing.” She cried. “For days I couldn’t even do anything in class without being laughed at. I hate this stupid Halloween.”Odin was barely listening to her, instead, he was thinking of how he would l

The light that came on disrupted his sleep and he opened his sleepy eyes, forgetting where he was until he saw Harmony looking at him in shock.“What are you doing Ichabod?”Ichabod stood up immediately and trying not to show how embarrassed he was.“You are really taking your job seriously. First, the toilet thing and now, you are baby-sitting my daughter. You shouldn’t. Seriously.” Harmony said, walking to where he daughter lay.“Forgive me. I must have slept off.” He mumbled the words together.Harmony said nothing but instead proceeded to wake her daughter up. Meanwhile Ichabod was about taking his leave when Harmony said. “Is that my tab?”He turned around and realized he had left the tab on the floor. It must have dropped when he slept off....when Odin slept off. Wait, Odin slept off?“What is my tab doing beside you Ichabod?” Harmony demanded, looking a bit displeased.Ichabod was tongue-tied. “Well, Ier...”

Well, Ichabod had been getting ready for this question. “Well, I’m from here and there.” He replied with a chuckle but Harmony only scoffed. “YourCV says you are from Baltimore, but I’m just curious, why Nigeria? Why body guard?”He smiled. “Well, I will answer you if you answer me this.” He said.“What?” She asked, giving him that sweet smile that made him fall in love with her centuries ago.“Why did you hire me?”**Harmony was surprised when he asked that. That was really a serious question. “Well, I...I don’t know. There was something about you that drew me to you...” she said, trying not to sound awkward. “You have this mystery surrounding you and I got intrigued.”“Well, let’s say that was why I came to Nigeria, to find you....and to protect you...”Harmony knew he was probably joking about this and wasn’t serious about saying all these. Maybe he was toying with her but the sincerity in his

“Yea. I just remembered I found something in my room when I woke up this morning, I don’t know how it got there. Did you come to my room last night? Is this yours?”He swallowed hard, unable to concentrate on his driving...“Idiot, just tell her a lie!” Odin snarled in his head.“Urm, yea, Ah...” He inhaled deeply, lying was not his thing really. While he stuttered, Harmony’s phone rang. Thank Goodness!He couldn’t believe how sweaty he was within how many minutes.“You are a so dumb! Seriously! You are her bodyguard! You could say you went to her room to check up on her when you heard noises in the room. Then you forgot it there. Ish! Do I need to do everything for you?”“Shut up Odin! It was your clumsiness that caused it in the first place!”“Yea? Bite me?”“Um, excuse me, Ichabod, are you talking to someone?” Harmony asked, looking at him in the mirror from the back seat.Odin chuckled, “caught i

Ichabod sipped from the wine in his hand. He had tried calling Adam but the noise of the party was so much he could barely hear what Adam was saying. How in the world was he going to catch himself?Different people graced the party, most of them were people he had seen their pictures with Harmony in the house. Talking of Harmony, she was standing with some other people as they took several group pictures.He checked the time, it was some minutes to ten in the night. The time was long gone. He caught Harmony’s signaling to him to come over and he immediately went to her. She excused herself from the group and walked up to meet him, she looked worried.“What is it?” He asked as he got close enough to be heard by her.“I’ve been trying to call Michael, his lines are not going through. I’ve sent several messages to him as well, he didn’t pick. I am so worried. I tried calling Debby, Tracy’s teacher, she is not picking either.”“Calm down. Does your daughter

**Hi Guys, so I realized I made a mistake in the last three chapters talking about Vivian instead of Rashidat but that has been cleared. Apologies about that. It has been corrected*"So, Harmony and Ichab are married?"Rashidat nodded.They were at a restaurant after leaving the psychic's place. With the blood that dripped into his mouth while unconscious, he had been cured of his vampire spirit and was now human. Rashidatkept on looking at him, smiling. She was too happy."If you keep on looking at me like that, I might be forced to make love to you right here in front of all these people."Rashidat blushed and looked away."It's just really difficult to finally believe that you are here," she replied.Odin smiled. "Don't worry. I am here to stay but you will need to find a way to explain to your father."Rashidat sighed. "He would definitely faint after hearing it."They both chuckled.

Rashidat watched as the woman knelt down, holding the soaked cloth in between her palms. She was positioned in a way that as she held the cloth, the blood that dripped from it, dropped on the dead man's forehead and all the way to his lips.She threw her head back and began to chant in a foreign language.It started really softly at first, but then it intensified as her voice grew stronger and louder. The candlelight began to flicker.The woman did not stop. As she continued, Rashidat thought she saw the shadow of someone bypassed her...her heart ceased. She intensified her gaze and realized it was nothing.As the woman continued. Another shadow ran across the room and a mighty wind started, scattering everything in the room.Amidst this noise, Rashidat began to hear lots of strange voices, some were loud, some were just whispers. She couldn't pick anything but she heard a faint voice, calling, her name."He's calling my name!" she sho

"Here is it," she said, dropping the piece of cloth on the psychic's table.The lady raised her brows. "He really likes you to have visited you," she stated and picked up the cloth.Rashidat sat on the couch. She could feel a throbbing at the side of her neck that was tied with a scarf. She had tried not to make her father suspect anything and had decided to cover it up that morning."May I see it?" asked the psychic.Rashidat frowned at first and then later untied the scarf. The lady stood up and walked closer to him. She bent slowly in front of her and turned her head sideways to inspect the bruises."Hmm...he's lucky you are looking out for him. He's drifting slowly but the blood you gave him was enough to make him last longer for us to do what we are supposed to do. ""What do you mean by drifting?" Vi asked, tying her scarf back as the psychic walked back her seat."The underworld is a terrible place. There are stages where some

That night, as usual, Rashidat was waiting in the room, waiting for him. Her father had retired for the night so it was just her in the darkness. She had purposely put off the light while she waited for the wall-clock to chime 12:AM.While she paced, lots of doubts began to find a way into her mind...what if he never showed?All of a sudden, a strange breeze filled the room, causing lots of things on the desk to clatter to the floor."Rashidat"His voice gave her goosebumps and she turned around to take a look at him. He was sitting on her bed. She walked towards the switch to put on the light but in a flash, he was he pulled her away. It was so sudden that her breath caught. The next thing she knew was she was on the bed while he was standing close to her."Do not put on the light," he growled."Why?" she inquired."Becuase," he said quietly. "I do not want you to see me like this..."She frowned and stood up. She walked

“I really can’t believe what you’re saying,” Vivian said. Rashidat had gone to her house the next day to recount all that happened the previous night. Although she didn’t go into full details, she only told her what was important.

She couldn’t believe her eyes as she walked closer to the mirror…She could feel her heart rising and falling as she reached a hand towards the mirror…to touch him but she only touched the cold surface of the glass. She hurried to put on the light but then he was gone. Now, she was confused…Odin!”“Hello, my lovely,” came the familiar voice very close to her ear but she still couldn’t see him.

Rashidat sat in front of the mirror as the clock struck some minutes to twelve, quietly smoking her cigar. Ever since Ichabod and Harmony left, she had always been doing this, hoping that somehow, Odin would appear to her. She knew it was crazy and her father knew this as well. Still, she was hoping that somehow, Odin would show up. It was a

Pleasure rippled through her, something deep inside of her felt ravenous. She drank him in. Thousands of butterflies dipped and dived in her stomach. She closed her eyes so tight colors exploded behind her lids.He pulled nearly all the way out of her and then pressed in.A quiver of anticipation shot through her, wrenched her passion higher yet until the feeling built deep inside her and she reached for it. He stopped all of a sudden.“No, no!” she whined in protest.

It’s been two days since they left Africa and were settled in Michigan. They had also decided to get married and had gone to a court to profess their love for each other. Everything was just perfect.Ichab walked out of the bathroom, with water dripping on the floor while he picked up a towel on a
