Episode 23
Mr Nelson got there to see Laman lying dead on the floor. He couldnât withhold his tears, thus, letting it drop from his eyes to the floor. Suddenly, he looked up.
âVeraâ was the last thing he said then took off home. He knew that if Laman is dead, his daughter must has also gaven off the ghost in her.
Meanwhile, Lucky had already ran to the twins all alone after discovering the death of Laman. He pushed the door of the house forcefully then continued running up the staircase. âVera! Vera!!â he kept shouting on his way but nobody responded to him. Just as he went into the sitting room, he saw Dera shedding tears on the cushion with hands folded. Without asking, he rushed into their room to see Vera lying straight dead on the bed. He slowed down, gently moving forward. Already, tears had started dropping from his eyes. He knelt down beside the bed and grabbed her hand.
âPlease, wake up. Iâm here now, you canât just die like this. Vera wake up, wake up! No ooh!â his voice echoed in the whole building.
Mr Nelson bagged in at that moment, shook his daughter vigorously to respond to life but all to no avail. âHow can a brother be so wicked to his sister?â he cried.
The policemen who followed him began to pull him back from the corpse but he struggled.
âLeave me alone! I swear Michael must pay for this. Iâll kill him with my bare hands!â
They called an ambulance that came immediately and carried Vera to the mortuary. Dera and Lucky watched through the window as her dead body was pushed inside the ambulance then closed. Dera bursted out crying uncontrollably coz that reminded her of their late mother. She was not just a brave woman but caring too. Since her death, the father had been trying to make her absence unnoticed, hence bringing up the children lovely. But all his efforts has come crashing down due to a note book which has possessed his son, thus, setting the family to a big war and emotional torture.

Mr Nelson used the sadness and anger in him to declare his son wanted on a live television. These were his words. âKira is known, and itâs no other person but Michael Nelson, my son. He has been the one behind the killings all this while. He killed Gizifa, Laman, Vera, his own sister and others. Heâs nowhere to be found, therefore, I declare him wanted. He must pay severely for his actionsâ
Nelly seemed to be the first to hear the news, so she couldnât believe her eyes. She tried Michaelâs number but switched off then called Luckyâs but no response. She became restless.
Michaelâs wanted picture was pasted at every corner of the city after the declaration. Both the military set out to search for him forgetting that their lives in the quest is just at the tip of a pen and a death note.
When Mr Nelson returned to the station, his cell phone rang. He glanced at the number then picked up.
âNice speech, Dadâ Michael sounded on the phone.
The father brought down the phone in a hurry with his palm well covered on the mouth piece of the phone.
âItâs Kira!â he whispered to the policemen around who became not only scared by the name âKiraâ but attentive to know what he had to say. They also connected the phone to a device to trace the call. By then, Mr Nelson had set it on loud speaker.
âMichael..â
âItâs now Kira, Dad, not Michaelâ
âHow could you kill your own sister?â
âHow could my own sister try to reveal my identity to the police?â
âYou must pay for this!â
âI know, if only Iâm caught which is far more from possibility. Youâve declared me wanted forgetting your life now is in my handsâŠâ
âMy life is in the hands of Godâ Mr Nelson interrupted. âHe is the only one that has the right to take or give life to whosoever he pleases to giveâ he added.
âI guess that makes me half a God coz I can take the life of whosoever I wanna take nowâ Mike giggled. It sounded deadly on the phone.
âWhat are you gonna do now, kill me?â Mr Nelson asked angrily.
âNo, Dad, youâre already close to your graveâ the line went off.
Silence took over the station. There was an expression of surprise and fear in the faces of all the men there.
Mr Nelson looked at the one who was tracing the call. âDid you get his location?â he broke the silence.
âYes, heâs not within the city. Heâs at a place called Kumaâ the young policeman replied looking at the screen.
âKumaâ Mr Nelson repeated. âThatâs my village, the land of my forefathersâ he turned taking few steps away from his initial spot. âPrepare, weâre going after him!â he commanded..

In Gezos city, there was a young girl named Debby who picked up one of the notes. Her physical appearance would tell you that sheâs not only bad but dangerous too regardless of her innocent and beautiful face added to an open teeth she occasionally display. She was dark in complexion, tall and skinny. She could be found in a dark nasty sanctum wearing a jean trouser over a black single handed top. A ray of light illuminated the room from broken windows. There was a table where she placed the book staring at it. The caption written on the cover was âLife Noteâ. She wondered what itâs used for then opened it to see every page blank.
âLife noteâ she muttered.
âYes, it can give life even to a dried borneâ a female scary voice came from behind. That was her own Shakiti called Ashanti. She also float in the air but not as scary as the god of death. She had a rumpled flesh but glows in white colour. Most of all, sheâs also invisible and invincible.
Debby turned after hearing her voice. She wasnât scared of her look.
âWho are you?â she asked.
âIâm Ashanti, the owner of the book you found. Iâm from the world of the unknown. Iâm invisible to the eyes of the humansâ
âBut I can see youâ
âThatâs because youâve touched my bookâ
âSo, whatâs the book for?â Debby turned staring at the book.
âItâs a life note, it gives life to the dead in as much as the person has not been buriedâ Ashanti floated beside her to take a good look at her black beautiful face.
How does it give life to the dead?â Debby was still inquisitive.
âBy just writing the personâs name on itâ
âJust like the death noteâ she soliloquised looking happy as she closed the book. She believed she would be as famous as Kira, hence, wished to meet him one day.
âDonât be so excitedâ Ashanti warned.
âWhy? With this book, Iâm a god of my own, a savior to those who are m0an!ng their lost ones, a..â
âListen,â Ashanti interrupted. âAny single name you write on the note, your life span will approximately reduce by a year. That means if you suppose to die in two years, youâll then die in one year. So the more you give life to the dead, the more you go close to your own graveâ she smiled while Debby frowned staring and reasoning what she saidâŠ
