Inyoka: The Snake Goddess SIXTEEN
~E V E~I struggled to get up quickly as Zach pulled me back on him, “Don’t make a move,” he said almost in a whisper so our attacker won’t hear.“But I am uncomfortable,” I told him as I fought away from him and he didn’t allow me through those thick hands of his holding me down. “Let go!” I ordered in a firm tone when it seems he was doing this on purpose.“I thought you were tough,” Zach said with a chuckle as he still kept me in the shackles of his arms, “Your heart is beating too fast,” Zach whispered into my ear and bit my lobe.“What are you doing??” I punched him hard on his stomach and he groaned in pain.“That hurt,” he admitted.“As it should,” I replied sharply.Zach grinned on the spur of the moment as he held my face, “Your eyes,” he deep into them trying to study it, “I like you Eve, I don’t know why I find you so mesmerizing but I do,” he confessed with his eyes still fixated on mine and I frowned, “Your heart rate just increased its pace, you like me too, if not you w
Inyoka: The Snake Goddess Seventeen
~E V E~I was astonished.She was everything that I was.As she head to us, I got even more confused, she was clearly not me in anyway but she has the features of the inyoka and most importantly—the amulet, she is wearing hers.“Man,” The barbarians tribal chief ignored the rest of us as she went directly to Zachariah, “Man from my dreams,” she said, I hardly could see what she was doing to him but I could feel Zach discomfort.Okay, maybe I can’t feel his discomfort but I personally won’t like anyone getting close to me like that and saying all of that to me.“The rope will be halved,” She struggled with her English as she said to him and then returned to her people and spoke in a language none of us understood.She pointed at Zach and announced something to them, and all we could hear where their cheers. She then point at us and her demeanor change. I could only understand through her gestures made as her thumb went across her neck and her people cheered again.“Well, star

While she set the rest of them free, I was left abandoned in a cell for destitute. I was convinced she was doing this for some reason, like I could tell she despised me already.I mean who wouldn’t ? she doesn’t even need to know that I was also the Inyoka myself but given we were both from different times, it was right for her not to know yet.Something did bring me here and I have accepted that oracle was right about there being a shift in time.“Sit down, standing close to the protector will not save you from her wrath,” the woman covered in a long cloak and seated at a farther corner of the cell had said to me.I stared at her as I found her familiar enough.“Coincidence?” the woman’s voice cracked as she uttered lifting up her cloak which covered her face.“You are that fake seer,” I said confirming for myself she was the oracle indeed.“Fake? Are you sure?” The oracle raised her voice in a questionable way.“I see you survived, now complete your vision of me. That woman posing a

Eve “So when do you get killed?” The oracle batted her eyes at me as I asked. “Why are you asking? You want to watch? Same way you wanted to watch that girl jump off the roof,” The oracle stated and I was mesmerized by the fact that she knew all of these. I shrugged, “I love watching human beings die, nothing wrong in that. Other than pollute the earth, there is nothing that they add to this world, they are despicable and remarkable gullible fools,” I insulted with a wide grin on my face. It was true, human beings are one of the weakest animals on this world. “So do you like him? The one who brought bread? He seems nice and he is very much human,” The oracle said as she switches to Zach. I pretended as if not to know who she was referring to as I feigned ignorance, “Who? The detective?” “Yes, him,” The oracle confirmed as she became interested to what I have to say about Zach. “Which one? There are two of them,” I said, continuing to play dumb. “The one who was nice e

Eve “What is your relationship with him?” Inyoka asked as she came into cell moments later after I had gone to figure out what I had done. “Zach?” I asked her back not even bothered about how condescending she sounded towards me. Besides, I was tired of being asked the very same question from everyone. “Him,” Inyoka replied as she placed her hand on the cell door, “What is about you that draws him to you? I want to have it,” She opened the cell, “Tell me, and I shall release you,” I raised my brows as I stared at her in unbelief, “Who the hell are you to think that you can decide when I can be released? Does it look like I am desperate to walk out those doors?” I glared at her and then burst out laughing. Inyoka was unhinged as she squinted her eyes at me, “I see… you don’t like him. He told me that he does,” I was bewildered, “He said that?” Inyoka nodded with a sigh, “He did, but I am glad it is not reciprocated which means I still have a chance. You see, he caught m

~EVE~“You owe me,” Inyoka walked up to me suddenly and said. “I want you to repay me now,”My forehead furrowed trying to think of where she was coming or going with this, “I don’t owe anybody, rather they do the owing, I don’t know what you are talking about,” I said boldly walking away from her.“Then I shall have your throat slit, maybe you will remember what you owe me,” Inyoka threatened and I came to a halt and turned to her.“Look at me,” I said to her as she eyed me from the ground to my head. “I am a slave! You wanted me to serve you right, that is what I am doing,”“And what makes you think serving me is enough not to have you beheaded?” Inyoka asked.I dislike this so much, the fact that I am willing to pretend I can’t go up in battle against her. The fact that I have to keep myself on the law because I am in a world I have no clue of.“Fine,” I surrendered, “How do you want that I repay you?”“Nice we are on the same page,” Inyoka smiled showing that she had won this roun

EVEI waited for the anticipation to grow so heavy that his hunger to know became insatiable. I had to reveal it to him, which means, just like Raghul’s ancient grand father knew, he must also swear on a blood covenant.“I—” I started off as I looked at him. I had a sly grin on my face to show my unseriousness. “I am Eve Faye, a writer of children's books that has been sold in over 59 countries, and that is it,” I said so innocently in my attempt to mock him.“I already know this,”“Oh, you do? I guess that is all there is to know then; do have a wonderful evening.” I tried to walk away, and then he blocked my path.“That night you murdered that old woman; you had a purple fog surrounding you; there were snakes on the floor; your hair wasn’t black as it is now but white; and when you turned, your eyes were translucent,” Zach explained. My body shivered because everything the oracle said was coming true. “What are you?”I was quiet.“Say something,” Zach calmly coerced me. “If it's som

~EVE~I was barely doing any of the works that were offered to me, as they were done in pairs. I allowed my other half to handle them. The poor man didn’t complain much as well. I made sure he didn’t.“I have been looking all over for you,” I said, approaching Raghul, who was busy tending to his assigned place.“Well, you haven’t been looking well enough,” Raghul replied as he lifted a sack and placed it over his shoulders.“I have been meaning to tell you something,” I said, bringing me to a glowered stare.“What is it?” Raghul offered a tired tone, like he knew where I might be heading with this.“I came here all excited to tell you some good news. I don’t want you to have that tone with me; it makes me feel like you belittle me. Don’t forget, I am who you serve, not her.” I responded, feeling saddened by what Raghul was reducing me to. We used to be so close, but now he is more distant than ever, and I have become worried over this.Now more than ever.“I am sorry, what is it? Te

EveDid I wait like he told me to? Of course I did. Like an idiot, I sat on that chair waiting for him to return, my legs were out of place as they continued to shake. When he walked in afterwards I had a better look on the woman he was with and it was that Police lady that I saw the last time they were talking with Rachel’s friends.“Hey,” Zach said in a soft voice as he sat next to me, “I wasn’t expecting you to come over to my work place for our afternoon kiss,” Zach grinned, he was oblivious to the fact I wasn’t pleased with him in anyway.“When something is mine, I don’t like sharing,” I said and again he smiled like he was just this happy fellow that still thinks I am referring to kisses.“I am a little busy right now, there was crime that occurred at the club downtown, I have been instructed to go check it out,” Zach told me as he stood up, “I will come see you when I am done,”“Arent you busy with Rachel’s case? Why add another?” I inquired deciding to drop my small momen

~EVE~ I drove to the location. I had forcefully gotten from Oliver; he didn’t want to give, so I did the impossible. Any way, it is a story for another day and one that he will remember for a lifetime. I pressed on the bell several times for a response and began to doubt the location given when no one came to answer the door. I am going to kill for real this time. “Hello,” suddenly a middle aged woman came up at the front door to answer. I smiled. I lifted my head to see her properly, as my hat covered most of my face. “Hi, Miss Eve Faye, I am Pamela’s very good friend,” I said, and the woman in front of me answered instantly, “Pamela did not have friends; you are at the wrong house.” She slammed the door in my face, leaving me utterly stunned. I didn’t leave; rather, I stood there and became the most annoying, pestering person ever on the godforsaken planet. I rang the bell countless times till I knew she was pissed. “Miss, I will call the police on you if you do not l

Eve“Give me all of my royalties, that is what I am demanding,” I requested very subtly, trying my best not to reveal that I was at the very peak of my anger.The owner of the publishing company I once used to work for, paid deaf ears tomy demands despite me threatening to sue.“Go ahead! We have evidence to prove your breach of contract, it is not like it is our fault that you had to sabotage yourself, we are in a lot of mess because of you!” He sounded off, “We have had to downsize because we can’t afford to pay off most of our workers next month,”“And how is that any of my business?” I asked, I paused before laughing as something had clicked in me, “So you buffoons relied heavily on me, to fund your bills, no wonder you are scrambling for my scraps,” “Leave before I call security,” Oliver said, he repeated himself again and I hissed, “You are sounding redundant, I heard you the first time… Still, I won’t be leaving till I am paid what your company owes me,”“We have nothing to of

I sat cross-legged on my sofa, humming melodiously to a song I wrote and composed. It was titled Sounds of Torment and fit into what Raghul was passing through.He was distressed, and the only way he could relieve himself was by pacing back and forth through the house. Though I was supposed to take things seriously, as he claimed, Raghul makes it harder when he acts like this.“You know, we should count ourselves lucky that we have a week to figure this out,” I said, trying to at least make him feel relaxed; he was worrying himself too much.My interference didn’t hold anything as Raghul continued to be paranoid. “We have nothing; we basically have nothing!” He rang it into my ear.“Watch over Gavin; I am going to go for a nap.” I sighed as I headed to the room.I locked the door, climbed into bed, and slept off. I was so deep in my sleep that I didn’t realize Raghul had been consistently knocking on the door to say how much I needed it from his constant rambling.With grumbling

EVEThere was a sudden shift; it was as if the world sped quickly before my eyes and went fast forward. I was back in the plane, sitting beside Raghul; it was just as if all that I had witnessed didn’t just happen.“I don’t think we should be traveling with a baby,” Raghul said beside me as he held Gavin with him.“Mhmm,” I replied, and my face showed a bit of confusion. These days, there are just things I don’t understand anymore.I know I have been warned to be wary but wary of what?The Inyoka herself? I already met her and it didn’t seem like she did much or is it the next Inyoka who has already been born to take over from me?What is even going on?It was very concerning, but then my attention drifted to the announcement that was made on the plane about us making a landing and how they couldn't go on due to bad weather conditions.I looked over at Zach and Mark, who were seated unbothered. Of course, I wasn’t expecting either of them to remember anything, but they were all there,

“Now we are on the same page, we need to discuss on the time we should kiss, I am thinking morning, afternoon and evening, that is if you are down for it,” I said oblivious of how this relationship thing worked, we weren’t in any sort of relationship still.I made him speechless as Zach chuckled at my Innocence, “Do we need days or time to kiss? I believe we can do it anytime, as long as you want it,” he dragged me closer, “Even now,” he said in a whisper.I push him away, “Pleqse be serious, I don’t intend on us being together though I don’t hate the idea, I am simply objecting to it,” I said plainly as I tried to explain for his better understanding.Zach took it with a nod, “No strings attached, you mean?”“Right! We are on the same page,” I reacted and Zach shrugged, “I am fine with whatever you choose,” he said as his smile faded.As we approached the village, almost all of the huts had engulfed in flames.“Where have you two been?” Mark asked immediately he saw us, I left it for

It really rendered us helpless, as she pushed me aside and took Zach from me. “I shall have you at all costs, my love,” Inyoka stated as she again tightened Zach and suppressed him.I was furious and didn’t think properly as I took off the coverings on my hand, found her tattoo again, and placed my hand there.“What are you doing?!” Inyoka panicked as she dropped Zach and held me by my neck. My inyoka was instantly pacified, and it was just me in my normal state fighting for my life, not like I planned to keep it.“Killing you,” I said as I continued to hold on to her tattoo, allowing it to burn deeply even as she tightened her grip on my neck.“Fire,” I said as I sniffed the air.“What?”“Something is burning.”“My people,” Inyoka said as she dropped me down and ran to save them. I quickly went to Zach; he showed a bit of consciousness as I took him with me.“Come on, wake up, you dumbass.” I shook him repeatedly. If we do not escape now, we might just never have that chance again.I

This was a known ritual, and I couldn’t allow it, though I accepted that there was nothing that could be done to stop Zach from being tied around her charm. Inyoka moved around Zach as she surrounded us both. I held Zach's face and said, “Listen to me, you are going to die.” I started off with nothing wrong with being realistic; there was no saving him unless Inyoka had another plan, and as she has taken form, I wouldn’t know exactly what she had planned. “How dare you disrupt me!” Inyoka screamed at me; immediately, she grabbed me by the shoulder and threw me out of the water. I regained my stance, trying my best not to fall. I had simply had enough; it was wrong what she was doing, and now I won’t allow it. Also, I don’t plan on overexerting myself; Zach was a simple human, so this isn’t for him in anyway. “My love,” Inyoka said, trailing her sharp finger on Zach’s body as she tore off what he had on. The crazy part was that she touched him with her bare hands, and nothing hap
