“Lord please even if I die, keep my baby safe please, please, please.”
Those were the prayers I found myself repeating over and over again even when I felt the brightness of the headlamps so close, I shut my eyes tight. This was the end of everything, I could tell it was just a matter of seconds before it crashed into us but all of a sudden, I heard a shrieking noise and I shut my ears while still holding Tracy close. It wasn’t a crashing noise at all, instead, it was like someone pulling perhaps the brake of....
I looked up and to my amazement, the trailer was slowing down even though the tip was almost already touching the front of my car. I couldn’t see what was happening but, I realized the door of the trailer was opened and whoever was inside was pulling the brake somehow...
Oh my god! Oh my god! Without thinking, I grabbed Tracy in my arms, opened the door and climbed out of the car and began to run further back, away from the sight.
“Mummy...” Tracy stirred in my arms where I sat hurdled in a corner far enough from the scene but close enough for me to see what was happening.
“Oh my darling. You are okay, you are awake...” I cried for joy, hugging her closer but she was too confused. Still I sat on the tarred road, watching the trailer which was no longer moving but a few inches away from my car. The door was still opened but while watching, I realized someone climbed out of it. I couldn’t really see because it was dark and the lights from my car weren’t towards that direction. Instead, I saw the silhouette of a man standing and looking at us.
For some reason, my mind kept beating rapidly as I watched him. Could he be the driver? Why was he not talking? He could at least apologize or...the sound of siren behind me interrupted my thoughts. Police cars and an ambulance were approaching. I heaved a sigh of relief and stood up, holding Tracy by the hand. Momentarily, I glanced towards the figure again but to my surprise, he was gone.
“Madam, are you okay?” Said an Inspector, rushing towards me. I nodded as the rest went towards the scene.
“What happened?”
“I don’t know, the trailer…I don’t know what happened to the driver, he was just standing there and my brakes failed but I am fine.”
“You said you saw the driver?”
I nodded and pointed towards where he had stood. “Yes, he was just standing there few seconds again.” I explained.
“Okay.” The Inspector replied and talked into his walkie-talkie.
“Come with me madam.” Said another Inspector, a woman this time. She carried Tracy in her arms and together we walked to one of their cars.
After I got settled in the car with my daughter with me, the other Inspector came closer.
“Thought you said you saw the driver some seconds ago?”
I nodded.
“Well, was he wearing a uniform?”
I frowned, “I don’t know, it was too dark. Why? Did you see him?”
“We found a man in the other seat beside the driver, he looked like the driver as it is stated here.” The Inspector said, bringing out a wallet which had an ID card. “Think he had a seizure of some kind, he has foam all over his mouth and that was why he lost control of the truck. You sure you saw someone there?”
I frowned, what was the meaning of this. “Yea, I did. I think he actually pulled the brakes to give my daughter and I a chance to escape.”
“Well, there is no one there and there was no way any sane man would have climbed into a moving trailer that was about to crash. Plus, I just called the company, the man left the company alone and no one was with him.”
I was quiet. This didn’t make any sense. While I wondered, I saw the medics carrying a stretcher and on it was the driver, he had the uniform on. Still, who was the man that had saved us? How did he get into a moving truck and why did he leave so suddenly without a word?

ICHABODHe had been sleeping peacefully quietly and peacefully in his bed when he immediately felt this sudden rush and fear in his spine. Quickly he woke up. He couldn’t explain the way his mind was rising and falling but he knew that she was in danger. Again...as always! No matter how much the other part of him wanted to ignore this danger signal, his beastly side would never let him rest without doing anything.He groaned. It was so damn difficult being two people at the same time but he couldn’t help it.It didn’t take him much time to figure out where and what was happening. Just to relax and pay attention was all that his other side required. His ears caught the cry for help and his brain calculated the distance. All that was left was for his super-fast legs to carry him there in a flash!She was on the road quite alright and where she was in her car, it was just a matter of time before the trailer crushed her down. Quickly, he got into the truck,

ICHABODHe woke up where he was. His eyes hurt terribly and he snapped them shut.The older man was pulling down the curtains on the windows of his room, darkening the room.“You awake?”He groaned and opened his eyes..“What time is it?”“It’s 12pm.” His butler replied.“Wow, the time is long gone.” He stated, now standing up and pulling the robe from the near-by chair, he put it on while waiting for his butler to pull down all the curtains in the big room.“What time did you get in last night?” The butler asked.He walked to the keyboard while wearing his robe before sitting down. “I can’t remember, was around some minutes past four I think. “ He replied, his mind was vague, it usually happened like that but everything would come back later.“How are you?”He sighed,Adams liked asking him so many questions. He didn’t blame him though, he was after all concerned.“I will be fin

“That was one very fucked up life.” Adams said, pouring him another drink. “So you killed your wife on your wedding day and you were then locked up in a coffin.”He smiled, “yea, cheers to that.”Adams sighed. “So that night that you found me, at the grave yard, that was Odin that I met.”“Yea, he is the reckless, evil one.”“Cos I was so surprised when you woke up the next day and you were all gentle and apologetic about kidnapping a poor old man but seeing you in your normal self, I had to just stay. Your luck is the worst I have ever encountered.”“Thanks for the compliment.” He replied and they both cheered before drinking.“So what next?” Adams asked.“The next thing is for me to go find this lady. The witch had said the salvation of one is the downfall of one, meaning, whichever one gets to her first. Odin has been creeping out in the midnight to meet her, if she ever allows her in, I would lose. ““Allow her in how?”“Well

“I can’t deal with this right now Vivi. Look, I know you are wise and smart. You can handle things on your own. Call me later.” She said into the phone before ending the call. After this, she put the phone in the purse to focus on the magazine on her laps.She was at the salon with lots of heat blowing into her skull from the hair dryer. Her movie was going to be premiered the next day and all hands were on deck but still she couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was about to happen in her life. What could it be?You know that feeling you have when you feel like you have forgotten something and you couldn’t stop thinking about what it could be, yea, that feeling.Her mind drifted off to the dream she had two nights ago, it had started so sweet and her body had responded in the most amazing manner. She couldn’t understand why she felt as if she had never been with a man before. It was so strong. She wanted him so badly in her dream-this same man but wh

Harmony sat in the comfort of her living room, wearing just her long white bathing robe and holding in her hand a glass of martini.A fresh white flower was tucked in her hair.Vivian sat beside her with her laptop on her lap. A man stood before them. He was tall, dark and well built.“So I just went through your background record now, it showed you have been t o the prison thrice Mr John.” Vivian said, starring at the man from the back of her wide rimmed glasses.“That’s right ma’am.” John replied.“Do you mind telling us more about the case of theft you were charge with?” Harmony asked.“Well, it was a long time ago. I stole someone’s car and I got admonished for it. That was all, I have done my part and I have been cleared.”Harmony and Vivi exchanged glances.“Okaydokey. So, what are the things you possess that will make you qualified for this job?” Vivian asked.“Oh, I’ve been waiting for you to say that.” John said exc

Adams waited at the driver’s seat patiently humming to himself when all of a sudden, the door burst opened, startling him.“Oh mine! Ichabod! You almost gave me a fit! Why were you back so....” He kept quiet as he recognized the twitched face and the cyan eyes. In a low growl, Odin ordered, “drive!”“Okay.” Adams said without further ado and switched on the engine.**He got off the car, slamming the door after him before walking into the house in a dominant movement. Adams watched him enter the house before he got off and walked after him. He wondered what had happened but he knew for sure that Odin must have messed things up. When he got inside, he met him pouring himself a drink. Adam stayed further back before asking.“What happened, Odin?”“That moron wouldn’t listen to me!” Odin growled, slamming the bottom of the cup against the table. “He just has this insane attitude of disobeying me.I knew it was De

“You look so good Harmony.” She scoffed at Michael’s compliment. They were in a restaurant, the three of them but Tracy was busy fiddling with the new tab her father had brought her, she had huge earphones attached to her ears, shutting her out of the adults’ conversation. “Save your compliments Michael, I don’t need them.” Harmony replied, taking a bite of her food.“You have also done such a remarkable work with our daughter, she has ....”“Hold on right there.” Harmony cut in. “Did you just saw ‘our’ daughter?”Michael nodded but she scoffed.“Seems you have forgotten that you told me you didn’t want her so she is not your daughter.”“Come on, this is why I am here Harmony. I want to make things right.” “What things are you talking about? There is nothing that you need to set right here. Wait, where were you those years ago? Where were you when I was in the labor room? Now all of a sudden you want to make things right?”Mic

HARMONY'S POV“Wow. The outing was really great. I can see that. A new hair? Fits you.” Vivian said as we got in.I had branched the salon to make a new hair style for my movie premier, it was a short, red cap. Tracy was super excited and was jumping up and down. “Aunt V, I just saw my daddy.” She said.“Oh, I’m sure he brought you lots of stuffs, didn’t he?” Vivian asked and Tracy nodded.The maid came over to collect the bunch of stuffs I had in my hands from me while I collapsed against the settee. I was so tired. I kept looking at my daughter and friend as they talked excitedly together. Michael had brought our daughter expensive stuffs which she was showing to Vivian.They soon walked out of sight while I lay on the couch.As I was about closing my eyes, my phone vibrated, luckily, it was in my hand, so I just put the phone to my ears.“Hey babe. What’s up?”I sighed, it was Michael. “I’m good.”“Are my

**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.
Ichabod Chapter 53
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.
Ichabod Chapter 52
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.
