Angelina

Episode 22

I was so frightened now. I quickly closed my agte,entered my car and drove speedily
away,following Mr Brandon’s car. I followed him until he parked at the Health Assurance Hospital. I
also parked behind him. He stepped out and I did too.

I was frightened about how he would react,but I didn’t care,as long as I knew how Nickel was
doing.

” Are you kidding me?! You had the gust to follow me? ”.
” Pleas sir…..”.

One of Nickel’s very close friends, Bill stepped out of the hospital and received Mr Brandon. He was called Bill,because he was a Billionaire. His friends hail to him whenever he was round or
appear in a gathering.

” What happened Bill? Where’s your friend? ”.

” He’s in a very critical condition uncle. He’s being admitted at the emergency ”.
” So what happened?! ”.

” Uncle, I was in a restaurant with my girl. We were having a good time,then suddenly, a car caved
into the walls of the wall of the building. Everyone escaped for their lives. We all checked inside
and I realised it was my brother, the doctors said he’s unconscious, but he keeps on mentioning a
name ”.

” What name? ”.
” Angelina ”.
Mr Brandon turned to look at me in horror.
” What have you done to my son? ”.
” Please sir,I won’t hurt him..let me see him,pleas! ”.
” Huh God. Let’s go ”.

He said and well entered the hospital. Later on the doctor allowed us to go and see him one after
the other. I was shocked Mr Brandon allowed e to go in first. I entered and I se he was
unconscious and bandaged on his head and right arm.

I sat to caress him,then Queen Marina appeared there,she raised her hands then a balls of fire
appeared, she threw them at Nickel’s direction, then I quickly blocked the way with my left arm. I
stiffened my palms and threw tons of lightening at her,she also blocked the way of the lightening.
She opened her mouth and let out a big cobra, I covered Nickel’s face with the hospital bedsheet
quickly, an I grabbed Queen Marina’s neck,and struggled her,letting her swallow back her snake,
then I opened my palms,and an eye appeared in my palm,Queen Marina was choking,I was
stringer.

I hit her forehead with the supernatural eye and she disappeared quickly from my sight. I now
understood perfectly. So,it was the Queen that made the accident happened. I uncovered Nickel’s
face. He was so handsome even on a death bed.
So is this how Queen Marina wants to play? Okay Queen…bring it on! ….
I don’t even know how I got so strong and did that to the Queen. How come am so strong in my
anger. I sat down wondering, had I dome something to get such excess powers? Any ways,this
battle was spiritual, and I wasn’t going to get Nickel involved no matter what.
U sat closer to him and caressed his soft black hair. He must have suffered a very big blow due to
the accident. His breath was normal and I think he was going to get well soon. For the first time,I
wept for love. Yes! Yes I wouldn’t care much now. From the day Queen Marina killed Katherine,I
seriously started not being afraid of her like I used to.
I was no longer a scared person. I knew she would by all means send some of the ladies to haunt
me down,but if I could face her today,who at all are those ladies I can’t face. She !at have killed
Katherine… But I won’t allow her to kill Nickel. I am going to protect him! Because I an madly in
love with him.

As I was starring at him,I looked through the transparent emergency door and saw Mr Brandon looking at me with his usual folded arms. But this time,something had changed. He was actually
smiling. I didn’t understand, did he see whatever I did just now? He was smiling widely.

I had never seen him like that. He opened the gate and walked towards me who was sitting on a
plastic chair besides Nickel’s bed.
” How is he doing now? ”. He asked.
” I think he’ll be fine soon Mr Brandon. I hope he does ”. I sobbed.
” Thank you ”.
I was so flabbergasted at once. I do know that Mr Brandon hates me so much because I tried to
kill him some ti!e back. But I know deep down there,he’s a good person. And he knows am be
innocent deep down in my soul. I was just on a mission.
It’s not my fault. All this evil things in me started from uncle Tom. But am too ashamed to tell Mr
Brandon anything. He might be in danger. And I can’t protect two people at a time.
” I know what you’re thinking about. You’re surprised am acting that way isn’t it? You know,I have
being standing at the door ever since you entered. And I saw everything you did ”.
” S..sir..sir..I….”. I stood up.

” Don’t say anything Angelina. I have seen you protect Nickel, putting your own life aside.
Meaning, you are not who I thought you were Angelina. You are not evil,and you saved Nickel. But
I don’t understand, what are you doing with your life? ”.
” You don’t understand sir..”.
” Then make me understand Angelina. Come with me Angelina ”.

We left the room and hospital. When we got outside, we sat on the public hospital bench which
was fixed in clay surrounded with green grass. I couldn’t look at his face,I knew what he wanted.

And I also know what I wanted. I also wanted to be out of that cult. It was difficult for me because I
never really had conversations with him.
He saw ice cream vendor passing by and he calls him to serve both of us. I tried to reject but he
didn’t even ask for permission. The man poured creamy pink ice cream into a small plastic cup
with a plastic spoon. Mr Brandon also got his and the vendor rode on his bike away.
I was afraid of how my lips would burn with fire when in eat that ice cream as it came from him. He
was a very powerful man of God and there was no at I was taking any risks.

” Don’t worry dear,take your ice cream,the sun is scotching. As we are having our conversation,
we can both coll up with it ”. He laughed,though I didn’t find it funny.

” Sure ”.

It’s not everything that you must tell me okay? I know some of your story by spiritual revelation. So
tell me,who was your dad? ”.

” Kelvin Jordan. Doctor Kelvin Jordan ”.
” Oh okay. Never heard of him. I heard both your parents died. I’m sorry for your loss. It’s not easy
living in this world without your parents. It’s not easy at all. But..who took care of you? ”.
” My mum’s sister,and her husband……”. I just told him some part of the story,little did I know
everything had being revealed to him.

” Oh my God! You are indeed, a woman of steel. Wow,you have birth to your own uncle’s child.

That’s pathetic! So,where’s your baby? Because I never heard of her,you don’t act like a mother Where’s she? ”.
” She.. She..she’s dead. Queen Marina kills her ”. I got so emotional and couldn’t control my tears.

” Oh my God! Please, relax okay? Then you have really passed through a lot. But,how come? ”.

” In the rules of the cult,any person who sells her soul,is forbidden to fall in love,else that individual
will regret of forever ”.

” Really?… But,are you in love? ”.
When he asked that,I looked else where and cleared my throat,I was embarrassed. He saw my
every move and understood, then he also laughed.

” Oh I see! You’re in love then. Hahaaa..you don’t tell me that part okay? My God gave me a
warning last night, to help you Angelina. You know why? ”.

” No ”.
” Because, both you and Nickel,are !want for each other. And what you did early this morning, has
proved God right. But you were so strong in there,you could shun your own almighty Queen
mother away,how did you do that? ”.
” I’m surprised myself sir. I don’t even know how I did that. But it worked. I don’t know where that
source of power came from ”.

” Let !e explain to you..did you say that,one of the rules was that,you were not to fall in love? ”.

” Yes ”.
” Are you the only Lady? ”.
” We are eight in number. We’re all so very young. We all are sober to the Queen, because her
appearance is very scary. We obey whatever she wants. So,all the Ladies do their best to stay
away from men and hate them with los of passion ”.
” And you,my dear lady,fell in love with Nickel…that’s why you are so powerful now Angelina ”.
” What?! ”.
” The passion you’ve derived is so strong,that’s what make you stronger than your Queen. She
has no love Angelina, she has no love for anyone to be able to fight for them. But you…you have
the edge to fight for someone. You have the edge to protect someone. That’s why she told all of
you not to fall in love my dear. Because she knows,that if any of you should fall in love,you’ll be
able to defeat her. She has no power to kill you, you rather have the power to kill her ”.
” Wow Mr Brandon, I never knew! ”.
” But am not saying you should let that make your head grow big. Angelina, God wants to use you
my dear. God wants to use you to save souls for him ”.
” Me?! ”. I was surprised. ” Mr Brandon, I have sinned so much. Mr Brandon….”.
” Did you know that,Jesus loved sinners more? ”.

” Mr Brandon…”.
” Do you need peace and salvation in your life or not? This is not how your parents raised you
Angelina… Imagine how they must be feeling right now,wherever they are. Huh? ”.
I didn’t get time to answer the question when Bill arrived in a haste.
” Uncle, the doctor said,Nickel has opened his eyes ”.
” Oh Hallelujah! Thank you Lord ”.
We both stood up.
” But I have to be on my way now uncle. I arrived from London just yesterday and I have my
businesses to attend to it. But I promise to one back soon to check on him ”.
” Don’t worry my boy. You’ve already done enough. See you soon ”.
Both me and Mr Brandon entered the hospital and went into the emergency ward and saw Nickel
being given water by one nurse while he layed on bed.

” My son…are you okay? ”.
” Don’t worry sir,he’s responding to treatment. Also,the accident affected his spume,so he would
be sitting in a wheelchair for a week,get him a therapist to massage him,and he would start
walking again ”. The nurse said and left.
” Angelina? You’re here? ”. He said in happiness ”.
For the first time,I smiled with all my heart when I saw his own smile. I raised my head and looked
at Mr Brandon. He smiled, so I walked closer to Nickel and sat besides him. Mr Brandon cleared
his throat and went out.
” Wow,am I dreaming? Is it my dad who acted so calmly towards you? ”.
” Well,yeah. He did ”. I laughed. ” He and I have talk things out,and settled our differences ”.
” Really? So,does that mean that……that,
you and I …..weellll..you and I…..”.
I bent down and mixed him so very deeply,this was the best feeling ever. I was feeling brand new
again,I embraced him on the bed and we didn’t want to let go off each other. I stayed with him until
it was evening time,that I decided to go back home to freshen up.

I drove home and freshen up. I decided that,I would be going back to my father’s mansion to
reveal myself to them. But before that,I had to first send them a surprise. Another surprise. I made
a call and told my worker go and first give the surprise to uncle Tom and the rest.
I went to my bedroom and felt so lonely. There and then,Lady Nash appeared from a powerful
smoke. She was so disgusting, half of her face was burnt and she was very angry. She pointed a
finger at me,but after everything Mr Brandon had told me,I was no longer scared. I had my love to
protect now,and that !ade me strong.
” Angelina! You are doomed! How dare you stand up against the Queen?! After all we’ve done for
you? How dare you betray us! ”.
” Are you done shouting? Because all that you’ve said right now,didn’t fall into my ears at all. Get
out of my house! Leave the way you came! ”.
”Give us our gallon of blood ”.
” Go and ask that stupid snake you put in my stomach! I don’t owe you people anything! ”.

She was screaming so loud and skating her hands in mid air, then the lights went off,thunder
strikes outside and it started raining hard. I couldn’t see anything in the room,I was blinded.

Suddenly, I felt multiple hands grab my whole body, I started screaming hard and seized my
breath,when I did that,my body turned so hot and flames came oit ,burning around me, though I
couldn’t feel the heat,but I went free of those hands and the light came back on,but it continued
raining. I saw. Lady Nash, holding tons of fire flakes,she threw them at me nonstop.
I was very weak now. I remembered Mr Brandon’s words. I caught hold of the fire which was too
heavy and made me fall at her feet. I grabbed her feet and pulled her,she fell at her back while used all my might to strangle her neck,I opened my mouth,letting out black smoke consume her
face.
I pressed my palms so hard,raised it up and opened it up with fire following it. Her eyes were
closed due to the dark smoke,I ripped her heart out and blood sprayed on me from her chest. And
hr heart was in my hands. She died and her body disappeared with her heart as well.
After this,I sat thee,smiling. I had defeated one. Now, the rest are next….
