Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 11
I laid her on the bed and dipped a towel into a warm water and folded it placing it on my mom head. I sighed as I watched her asleep.
âYou care for your mumâ an elderly lady made an entry
âYes Faye maâ I replied resting my back against the wall and sliding down.
Yeah Faye is an elderly woman I seek refuge with. She is an educated but poor woman old enough to be my grandma. I wonder what went wrong because people say education is the key.
âThank you once againâ I said looking at how tattered her clothes were.
âDonât mentionâ she replied.
I couldnât just hold it so I asked âwhat went wrongâ
She sighedâ itâs a long storyâ
I was about to reply when mum coughed. I rushed to her side and sat on the bed with her. She opened her eyes glancing around and yes this time her pupils were not dilated.
âMark am I right?â
âYes Mom itâs me Markâ I replied with a little grin.
âWhat happened?â She asked trying to remember, putting her palm on her forehead and at the same time squeezing her forehead.
I explained everything to her and she wore a suprised look.
âSeems I have partial amnesiaâ she said with a little chuckle and I laughed after.
A loud sound echoed round like the sound of an angelic trumpet and the foundation of the small house shook. Loud commotion was heard outside the house.
Faye suddenly stood up and went to the kitchen.
âWhat was thatâ I asked hoping she will know the answer.
âHope itâs not what am thinkingâ she replied slowly getting up from her lying position and changed to a sitting position.
âWhatâ I asked quickly
âButâŠ.watch outâ she shouted sending electricity from her index finger which passed beside my left ear and striked someone and there was a loud thud on the floor. I looked to my back and I saw a lifeless body of Faye with a knife in her hand and a burnt forehead. Wait she wanted to stay me . Why was the question I asked myself, then my eyes caught sight of Fayeâs dilated pupils. Shit how come she was controlled.
I turned to mum with questions to dish out
âThis is the work of the Aftrollerâ she quickly spoke out as we locked gazes. She quickly stood up from the bed and told me we have to leave this place.
âBut I thought I was only the person that can power the machineâ I asked as we made for the door. She stopped and turned to me with Stern eyes.
âHave you kissed any one passionately?â She asked with Stern eyes.
Flashback to when I was at the hotel with Victor
I heard a soft knock on the hotel room door as I was about to close my eyes. Who could that be at this time of the night I thought to myself. I ignored it at first but the soft knock came again. I stood up sluggishly and went to the door as I opened the door Stella attacked me with her soft lips. I returned the kiss and used my leg to kick close the door. I pinned her on the wall and tasted every corner of her sweet strawberry flavoured succulent lips. I felt like chewing her lips as it was d–n too sweet. We continued the passionate kiss for about 5 minutes and then I was about to go further by slowly pulling off her short silk nightie but then she removed her lips from mine and pushed me. I lost my balance from the push and watched her run out of the room. I wanted to pursue her because she has to finish what she started nah. I no be firewood she canât just leave me hanging and wanting more of her lips and body. I wondered what was that for but I threw the question aside as I was happy that she reciprocation the feelings I have for her or so I thoughtâŠâŠ..
Back to present
âi asked a questionâ mum said with a scowl snapping me out of my lustful and flashback thoughts.
âYes I have kissed someoneâs beforeâ I replied with a âwhy this question lookâ
âWho?â She asked with a serious look
âUhmm A lady called Stellaâ
âStella what?!!!â
âStella Andrewâ
âWhat!!!?;!!!!â âStella Andrew?!!!!?â She shouted at the top of her voice
âYeah why?â I asked getting a little bit tense.
âYou shouldnât have kissed herâ she said pacing around the small room with her hands on her waists.
âButt why?â I asked wondering what was wrong with that.
âMonths back we did a lot of research on if there is any possibility of an alternative power incase you donât agree to power the Aftroller. But few days ago we were able to get an alternative way but it was still through you.â
âOkâ I said feeling my whole armpits wet out of tension and also as a result of the heat in the poorly ventilated room.
âAnyone you share a passionate kiss with will share a bond with you by also giving the other your full potentials of electric powersâ she said.
My jaw dropped hearing what mom said and I just fell down on my butts and thought about what she just said.
She used my feelings for her against me. No wonder I felt a slight spark in my heart and lips when we were kissing. Tears trickled down my cheeks as I kept thinking. So she never loved me. She used me but who is she why did she do this.
âWhat does she stand to gain from helping the Aftroller launchâ I asked with a cracked voice.
âShe Is Mr Andrewâs daughter and only childâ she replied and walked towards me. She bent down and put her hand on my shoulder.
âItâs not your fault dear you were just being a typical teenâ
âNow is not the time to cry but to fight and save our mother landâ she said and took my two hands and dragged me up. She hugged me tight and I cried on her shoulders.
âShe was too smooth that I didnât notice a single flaw or maybe I was just blinded by my live for her.â
âItâs time to be a heroâ I said and disengaged the hug.
âThatâs my boyâshe said cleaning my wet face. We walked out of the house and it was a sight not to be seen.
Foul smells was in the air from dead and quick to decay human and animal bodies. Burnt Cars, burnt houses, destroyed shops and everywhere looked like Boko Haram just attacked the area.
âBut mom why arenât we affectedâ I asked as I stared at all the dilated pupils of the dead people. âŠâŠâŠ
