EFE (Book 1 in The N. A Series)

Chapter Five

Previously:
"What is going on here?!!!!!" Lanky boomed from the door where the afternoon sun illuminated his bald head.

"She... She... She got up and tried to escape.. So i... " Dominic muttered, from the way they both hung their heads, she could tell they were both afraid of Lanky. She wasn't sure if it was the man they were scared of or the two spirits that stood with him or the moving snake tattoo around his wrist under his flabby worn out long sleeve. Either way, something was obviously not right with this man.

How couldn't she see it before she hopped on that bike like monkey wey them show banana?
Luckily for her, the spirits didn't know she could see them. Their black hollow eye holes gazed over the area while their smokey and blurry form floated in the air.

"So you decided to destroy my sacrifice" Lanky finished for Dominic. A spirit moved behind Dominic making him visibly shudder, he couldn't see the demon behind him but he felt its eerie presence.

"Please... I" Dominic begged calling on his knees, his zipper hung open letting his trouser fall down his waist line.

"What about you Charles?" Lanky cut Dominic off "Or make I use the both of una take do the sacrifice?" Lanky's calm voice struck fear in the men. If they were this afraid of this guy, Efe knew just what to do to get her her last hit. She already felt like exploding but that thing said 'If she held all that power in, it will heal her then she'll be strong enough to kill these people herself.'

"No sir please" They both begged for their miserable lives as the spirits started instilling more fear in them.

Efe let out a choked laugh; confusing everybody as she struggled to get up, her broken knee cap stopped her from standing so instead she knelt while cradling her twisted and, also broken arm.
"Cowards" she twisted her neck around to stare at Dominic "Just because say he get small juju, you con dey fear." She didn't know what she was saying at all "Dey shake like ant. FOOL!" She spat again "And you follow follow charles, na so you take die oh. If you didn't help him I might've spared your miserable life but I guess you're like that foolish fly wey follow dead body enter grave" Efe laughed... Or choked. It was a strangled laugh "See the mugu wey una even dey follow. E dey carri woman dey carri shoulder dey form boss say him won do ritual" she raised her shoulders as she spoke "Goat" she hissed at them.
The stranger peeped through the window just in time to see Charles stomp his foot into Efe's chest. He chest caved.

He wasn't from around there so he didn't understand what was going on. He reached for his phone but he had left it with a friend before coming out in search for their football. He had to help.
Efe landed with a 'crack' on the wall not too far behind.

"Hey!!" The stranger shouted at them. He had this rich chocolate skin tone, sharp clean low cut, light brown eyes and long arms. He jumped through the window into the room. "Leave her alone" he shook.

"Ajébutter" Lanky's slim black lips twitched upward. "Commot from here if you no wan die"

"I will leave with her" he pointed at the bloody stranger.

"Nawa! This guy get mind oh" Charles piped in courageously.

"Get out before I cut you down" Lanky took a step further.

"I said... I am not leaving without... " he pointed at where the girl once laid. Noticing his shock, they all turned. Efe stood behind them cracking her knuckles.

"Let's try this again... Shall we?" She tied her thick hair up. "Who wants to go first?"
