Edge Of A knife

Episode 14

Now I decided to walk back to the creed’s mansion, that was enough for one day. It was 4pm. As I got closer to the gate, my phone beep, it was a call, I checked and it was Martha.

Me: Hey, i said the moment I pick up

Martha: Josh Darling, how are you?

Me: Am fine dear, you?

Martha: Am fine too, just that the holiday’s been boring.

Me: eyaah sorry.

Martha: what of you how is the holiday going for you?

Me: Quite fine, and not that boring, am with friends.

Martha: oh the creeds right (what?)

Me: erm erm… No Mart.

Martha: it’s ok Josh, news about your involvement with the creed, have been spreading round school for a while now, i really didn’t believe, I had wanted to ask you by myself, but things happened so fast, and there was no time, because of exam, but now am free and with you again, i wanna ask, is it true Josh?

Me: hmm, Just believe whatever you heard marth. I said, not knowing the right and exact word to reply her

Martha: so it’s true?

Me: Hmm..

Martha: Joshua why? Why? She said i could tell from her cracking voice that she was in tears, but why will she be crying for me?

Martha: See Josh i love you, i have always pictured us together, but now you have shaded yourself away from that picture by becoming a cultist. I remained silent, listening to her words, I now see the reason why she was crying, oh she loves me, well i love her too, but what has to be done must be done, the hopeless has to be liberated, and this was my only way of being helpful to the, so I thought, only if i wasn’t that foolish to see the stupidity in what I was doing.

Martha: cultism is bad, cultism will shorten your life, she kept on pouring those words, and soon, they become boring and annoying to me, I didn’t say a word, as she kept on with her claim,

Josh why did you ever becom….. She was still saying when I hang up, she called back, by now I was already inside the mansion, and everywhere was dead silent, it was very much unlike it, nobody was even seen outside, I became alert at once, I brought out my gun(pistol) and looked around, before i tiptoed to the main entrance door of the house, I quietly opened the door, and got in, only to see that everyone was gathered at the main room, they all stopped what they were doing as they saw me enter, they soon burst into rounds of laughter, as they noticed the gun in my hand. The laughter continued, until i heard D’baba cleared his throat, and all kept quiet.

D’baba: You are late for the meeting, he said to me. Where did you go to? I reported myself, before he asked me to have a seat. The meeting was all to notify us that he D’baba, will be embarking on a journey, I already knew that before. Not until he made it loud and clear, that as samba assume position as the acting leader, potoki to assist, he made it clear that I and Eric will assume potoki’s position.
