Episode 6

The question almost made me had a blood pressure. I’ve been having one since, but that question almost doubled the tension. I mean, who asked me a question in the midst of dead bodies.

I glanced towards the direction of the voice frantically and I took the knives I kept earlier out, I pointed it at that direction aimlessly but I was pointing at nothing.

I wasn’t obviously seeing anyone, just dark room and dead corpse with a blue dim light.

I was still looking around in search of the voice when Pete’s first strike landed heavily on the door. I thought the door was gonna break at that very moment due to the Axe intensity and aggressiveness, but it didn’t.

“I think you’ll need some help there because that door is coming down soon”, the voice said again.

“Who’s that”, I asked immediately but there was no reply. “Holy Spirit, is that you”, I asked again.

My question was followed with a hysterical laughter as if I just cracked some jokes.

The laughter continued with mad intensity until I started wondering if that was the Holy Spirit. “Holy Spirit can’t be laughing like a cursed mad man like this”, I said to myself.

The laughter stopped when Pete launched his fourth strike. Things are getting serious now because I noticed that the door was getting weaker and it may come down with two or three more strikes.

I questioned the voice again with a different tone. The voice realized that I was serious and instead of introducing itself, the voice asked me again.

“Do you need help”.

“Yeah, I obviously need help. This mad man is gonna break the door open anytime from now. I need help please”, I screamed in reply.

“So shall it be”,the voice answered in reply.

The voice was still talking when Pete struck the door with the big Axe and the door opened in one full swing.

At this point, I knew that it has finished. I was expecting him to come straight for my head or probably use his knives to stab me and make me suffer but he didn’t.

I was expecting him to wound but none of it happened. Instead of him to come straight for me and kill me, he started looking around frantically as if he was searching for something.

At some point, he”ll come to where I was standing and he would act as if I wasn’t there. He just kept on looking, searching and shouting out of anger.

“Where’s this stubborn bishh. Has she disappeared now”?, he shouted aggressively. “I’m going to make her death a pathetic and memorable one if I set my eyes on her”, he screamed while swearing to himself.

Then I realized that the voice I heard earlier has made me invincible, that was the only ideal reason why I was still alive. Pete didn’t see me, hence the reason for his continuous searching.

I didn’t know what or who that voice was, but I know that it was powerful and it had saved me, I started thanking God for it.

I was still thanking God when an idea came to my mind. I was thinking of escaping from that compound as quietly and quickly as possible to evade Pete’s mad outrage but I realised that if I leave now, he’s going to do the same thing to someone else.

I decided to kill him, or perhaps try to since I was having the upper hand. He couldn’t see me and killing him may end everything. I smiled at my thought and I took the knife out again.

I was planning on stabbing him on his forehead, or perhaps, on his neck.

I was just about to do this when Pete left the room in annoyance and I heard him banged the door of the living room loudly.

I allowed him to escape. I was still amazed at my own foolishness when the voice came up again.

“Seems like you finally got your help Kelly. I wouldn’t be so happy if I were you. The invincibility has a time limit and its gonna to wear off after 20 minutes.

You’ve spent 13 minutes out of it now and if you don’t escape before the remaining 7 minutes, Pete is going to meet you here and kill you eventually”, the voice said conclusively.

“What!!!, 20 minutes and I’m still here thinking of killing him instead of running”,I said while answering the voice.

My initial plan was to run away from the compound and from everything that relate to that house that very moment, but we were still in the middle of the night and I wouldn’t want to encounter the death I was running away from at some other place.

And like a snake, I crept out of the room and I was checking the rooms randomly to check if Pete isn’t there, to my relief, he wasn’t there.

I checked the time, it remains two minutes for my invincibility to end. “Now, I have to be fast with things”,I whispered to myself.

I got to the sitting room, he wasn’t there either. My relief was doubled. I got out of the flat as fast as I could and quickly locked the door with a padlock I saw at the entrance.

I smiled to myself after doing that, I smiled at the realization of having to live a day more.

The bloods on my hand has become thick and stiff by this time. I would want to water more time. I got into my flat quickly and locked the door.

The running and tension that I’ve been experiencing since took his toll on me and I was so tired. I felt like going to my room to catch some sleep and probably plan my next move.

I was almost a few feet away from my door when I found that it was opened. I peeped inside carefully and there he was.

He was stabbing my pillows and bed and he was bringing out all the foams that was inside it out of anger. I assumed that he must have thought that I hid myself inside the bed.

“Jesus of Jesus, can’t this problem finish”, I whispered to myself out of frustration.
