I stupidly fell for a serial killer

CHAPTER 34

He finally places the whip down. My body is so painful. Tears can’t stop coming out of my eyes. He sits down and breathes out loud. He is panting like he has been running a marathon. I just close my eyes because the sight of him is really sickening.

Mnqobi: “that was intense.” He says chuckling. “They said you’re the best but you didn’t realize that you were sleeping with the same monster that you are afraid off and has basically been chasing his kind for almost half of your life. Life can be unkind, not like Sandisiwe Gxaba’s book.” He smirks. “Life is a dick really. One minute you are hard and on top of the world. The next minute you’re flat and out of your game.” What a stupid example.

“Yes I know it’s a stupid example. Deal with it.” He takes out a beer from his bag and gulps it down. I would do anything for a sip of water, any type of water really. When he is done, he takes a short spear from the ground. Please don’t tell me he is going to stab me. “You bet your beautiful black ass, I am going to stab you. Slowly and steady so that you will enjoy it.” He smiles and stands up. Please have mercy on me.

He comes back and stands in front of me. He stabs me on the thigh. I gasp and my eyes pop out. He takes it out and stabs me on my lower abdomen. Wow I have never in my life imagined that something like this might happen to me. Fresh tears come out. Right now I have given up on my life. I am just praying for him to stab me in the heart so that I can take my last breath.

Mnqobi: “now for the final touch.” He raises his spear and I know that he is aiming for my heart. Right at the moment I heart three gunshots. The monster in front of me drops the spear and his body falls to the ground. I raise my head to see who my knight in shining armor might be. I see Kheswa and Dumakude standing not far from where I am. I just breathe out loud and I feel myself being drawn into darkness. My body gives in and I black out.

*ZIMELE KHESWA*
I am so angry at myself. I am mad that I didn’t get to Mayenzeke in time. My world shattered when I saw how her body was. It was covered in blood and in other parts, blood was still coming out of it. We are now at Hlabisa Hospital and it has been hours since she has been admitted. I am organizing for her to be transferred to Meadowlands Hospital Medical Centre so that she can be closer to her family.

Dumakude: “I need to bounce man.” he says bringing me back from my thoughts. I frown and look at him.
Me: “why?” he chuckles.

Dumakude: “have you forgotten that I am a wanted man? I escaped prison remember? The cops who work with Nceba are on their way and if they see me, they won’t ask any questions. They will just lock me up.” I sigh.
Me: “I understand. Now when am I going to see you again?”
Dumakude: “when I want to see you.” I chuckle.
Me: “asshole.”

Dumakude: “thanks for the compliment. I appreciate it very much.” He says sarcastically and we both laugh. “Now can I get a hug?”
Me: “whatever man.” we both stand up and bro hug.
Dumakude: “when she is awake, tell her that I am still going to keep my promise.”

Me: “what promise?” I ask frowning.
Dumakude: “she knows.” He says with a smug. “See you when I see you.” He heads out.

It has been two weeks since Mayenzeke has been transferred to Meadowlands Hospital. Her wounds are healing slowly but she is still unconscious. I have been visiting her every day, together with Buleka. Mayenzeke made quite an impression on her because Buleka actually cares deeply for her and isn’t jealous of the relationship we have.

Mayenzeke’s dad and grandmother are the ones who didn’t take the news of her lying in a hospital very well. They are walking zombies. Her grandfather is mad at himself for not being there to protect her. Everyone is doing the blame game, safe blame that is. I just really hope that she can wake up. I feel like she doesn’t want to wake up.

Her captain said when she is awake, she can take time off from work. Even if it’s two years, as long as she is going to come back from work because she is really good at work. I don’t know how the news of her being in a hospital made it to the press because they have been writing articles about how she was kidnapped and tortured. I wonder where they got the information from.

My heart bleeds for Mayenzeke. I know her life will never be the same once she wakes up. I know she will need a lot of therapy to get over what happened to her. I know she is going to have a lot of trust issues and actually have less trust in men. I love her as my friend and I am willing to be there for her.
