Later that night, Harmony lay on her bed with Ichabod beside her. She was lying on his chest while he put an arm around her
She found comfort in his arms and it was like all the worries of the day were gone except for one thing. She was still confused about one thing and that was, why he never tried to come out of the car. He could have tried, couldn’t he? And why was she suddenly beginning to feel like she may not know him after all. First, the Dennis issue and now Michael said something about him not being who he seemed to be. Yes, the vampire was something too ridiculous but what if he was really not who he claimed to be. She didn’t know anything about him and…
“Are you okay?” he asked again.
“Yes, I’m okay,” she replied, lifting up her head and looking into his eyes.
“Are you still worried about the event today or how you would tell Tracy about us dating?”
She chuckled, “all of the above actually.”
He brushed pack her hair and planted a
He checked the time for the fifteenth time and realized it was 11:30. Her head was still resting on his chest and with the way she was breathing, he could tell that she was not yet asleep but she was beginning to drift off gradually.He kept patting her slowly on the back and just like that, her breathing became erratic, meaning she was falling asleep slowly. Thank goodness!Slowly, he slid from under her, carefully and cautiously…then when he was finally able to get her properly positioned on the bed, he stood up, checked his time and dashed off.**He found Rashidat already waiting for him outside with the van.“What took you so long? We don’t have all the time.” She said, opening the door for him while he got in. He said nothing for he remembered she had scratched him the last time.“Well, aren’t you going to say anything?” She asked.“How about you apologise first?”“For what?”“For scratching me…” he
This time, she was at a party with lots of white folks than she has ever seen before. There were lots of merry-making, music and dances…everyone was happy, including herself. It felt like the happiest day of her life until the door opened and a scary old woman opened the door…the music stopped all of a sudden and the man beside her stood up. He walked towards the woman. She was quiet, everyone was quiet…she couldn’t hear what was being said but she could feel that something was wrong. The next thing she heard was a loud growl and everywhere scattered…by the time she came to her senses, she felt a sharp pain around her neck and she screamed…holding her hand to her neck…when she looked to see what it was, all around her was covered in blood, including her white gown…a growl sounded next to her and she saw sharp pointy yellow fangs, snarling at her..She screamed and woke up, panting heavily.Harmony realized she was soaked in her own sweat and her
Harmony was busy planning for her birthday which was coming up the following day. Event center has been paid for and they still had lots of things to shop for.“You know you need an assistant,” Vivian said as they walked through the boutique.“An assistant? I already have you, what else do I need assistance for?” she replied while checking out a pink hat in the mirror.“Well, maybe you need to increase my payment cos I'm doing the work of two assistants,” Vivian replied, removing the hat from her head.“Maybe you need to stop complaining and be happy that you are my assistant.” Harmony replied, checking out a pair of glasses.Vivian frowned, “what are you checking that out for? You already have like a dozen of sunshades, unless you want to buy it for me.”Harmony chuckled, “hell no, this is for Ichabod. I thought I needed to buy him some new cloths. Some jeans and shirts as well, to make him look hotter instead of those jeans he's always wearing.”
“What do you mean he is not invited?” Harmony demanded, “he is with me.”“Yes, I know but he has to stay outside if you want me to help you,” the woman retorted.Harmony looked at Vivian who shrugged and turned to Ichabod. “You are okay outside right?”Ichabod nodded. “Don’t worry, I will wait just here.”Harmony wasn’t sure but then she had no choice than to leave him behind.The interior was decorated with different paintings hanging on the wall. Harmony was surprised since there were no TV or DVD or any modern design, apart from the beautiful work of arts.“Sit down please,” Tonia said and they did. Vivian and Harmony sat on a couch while Tonia sat on a stool in front of them. “Tonia, she is the lady I told you about,” Vivian said to the woman.“Your birthday is tomorrow,” Tonia said like a statement instead of as a question.Harmony nodded, a bit surprised that she could tell. Vivian giggled beside her, “I told you she is go
“You have to calm down Ichabod…”Rashidat said as Ichabod kept pacing to and fro.“I can’t. My heart is beating so fast and….” His eyes shimmered red. He laughed sardonically like Odin would but all of a sudden, he went back to being himself again. “I can’t control him…” Ichabod cried, taking the bottle from his pocket but it only remained a few drops. “You can’t take those anymore Ichabod. Today is the day, it’s of no use.” Rashidat said, “Besides, you are with me, what do you have to fear, I can handle Odin.”“Oh I bet you can handle me naughty girl!” Odin said all of a sudden….pulling Rashidat close to him.“Leave me alone Odin and try and behave…” she shouted.“But what is the fun in that? You love me like this don’t you?’ he asked, sniffing every part of her.“You are frightening us all Odin…”“Well, I know you are not frightened…you see, that is why I like you so much. Imagine what happens tonight when you can finally have me lik
When she finally came around, everything seemed a bit hazy to her, the back of her head throbbed so hard and she felt weak to her knees.She opened her eyes to a spinning room…she shut her eyes again and then opened them. Things have stopped spinning but she couldn’t recognize where she was. It was like an uncompleted building but with so much light everywhere.The ceiling was high and she seemed to be in the middle of a pentagon. She tried to look up but the light was blinding. Her hands were both tied up separately and so were her legs.“Michael, are you crazy! What the hell are you doing?” She demanded, looking around but Michael was not in sight. In her sight was a whole large room and lots of woods everywhere. The windows were not done yet.“Michael!” she shouted but someone came out to her.It was a man, she recognized him as one of Michael’s men.“Please, let me go!” she pleaded.“You need to keep quiet madam. All this is for your own
Chapter 40Michael sat in one of the rooms in the building. He had about four screens in front of him, one was showing the entrance of the building, another, the frontal area and the rest showed several angles in the room.He was going to take down a monster tonight and he would show the whole world exist. He couldn’t imagine how it had found his way down to Nigeria. Once the world saw this, his public image would be boosted and he would become even more influential, recognized and richer than before. More so, he could take his child with him when he showed the video in court. How Harmony had been sleeping with a monster. Her whole reputation would be ruined.He looked at the ring on the table. Once the man appeared, he would attempt to save his beloved but he would find himself in a pentagon which he had drawn with a chalk on the floor where Harmony was bound. This was meant to restrain his movement. He would never be able to come out of the Pentagon.
“How about that now?” Michael asked viciously, proud of his smartness. He knew he could never be a match for someone like that but he needed some pawns to get him distracted and those were his dead men. He watched as he writhed in pain on the floor. He walked towards Harmony to wake her up…but he was surprised when she was making some moaning sounds.He couldn’t believe his ears…how could she be moaning in her sleep? He quickly untied her and laid her on the floor…but it looked as if she was having some kind of strange sleep and her moaning increased noisily….“Harmony, wake up…” he said tapping her but all of a sudden he felt himself being lifted off the ground and the next thing he knew was being thrown across the room with so much force he hit his head against the wall and he fell to the ground…**“Next time, make sure you target the heart very well,” Odin said to him, walking closer to him and lifting him off the floor and
