NTOMBI (GIRL)

part 2:chapter18

The Guard pov.

I've travelled back to the black abyss where I came from. I didn't miss this place. The coldness and darkness really exaggerates the melancholy mood. Sadness heavily sticks in this place. Souls are weak and lost in here. There isn't much for a person to get around. It's pathetic, whoever made this place knew what they were doing. Nothing breaks a soul more than helplessness and being lost.

I came here for a reason and I'll get what I need. Time is not on my side. I'll have to make alliances and I know these ugly bastard are going to want a cut in whatever I'll win over. Greedy bastards if you ask me but that's why we are here isn't it, because of the greed. We've all done bad things to end up here and even in death we still want power.

"Ahh ol' friend of mine. I thought I'd never see you here again." That's giant. We don't use our real names here. Most of them barely remember. He's powerful. If you think what I'm capable of is bad then you certainly don't know evil. This man survives from the blood of the innocent. Many man seek him to gain power and riches. His physique clearly indicates the kind of man he is. Here the bigger you are the more power you posses. He manipulates to get what he wants and he always get what he want.

"I need help old friend. Things are falling apart. The royals are more powerful than I thought." I said in our forbidden language. I don't like him, not one bit.

"Royals are the most powerful and most protected. I remember I've once came to ask for a part in this. Deceit, lies, manipulation and distraction is what we specialise in. By now I would've long devoured the baby. His blood is power." Always one to boost and compare but I'm not here to judge.

"I've done all that and more. I've been seen and exposed. We all know the man upstairs can't be fooled." - me

"That's why we deal with humans. You chose the wrong people. We spirits need to stick together," Oh pathetic, "I'll venture with you this time."

"Thank you that'll be great. Care to name your price?" -me

"We'll discuss that when the time comes for now let's plan." -giant. He's thinking of  a much greater price to ask of I know for sure, he possesses a lot of things.

When I said this man is powerful I wasn't exaggerating. He has countless souls under captive as many people trade their souls for materialistic things. Desire will always be the downfall of humans. Desire is what granted me the ticket to the land of the living. Eliza's desire and rotteness is to be thanked. All I had to do was get her pregnant.

"Our mission is to kill the unborn child or all hell will break for real and I'll be back in here forever this time."

"Then mission kill the baby is underway. What'd you say we give your queen a visit."- giant.

Clever bad god.

Princess Eliza

How I'm I you may ask. Well I'm depressed. I don't regret fighting for love but I regret how I went about it. Love clouded my judgement or is it because I'm a spoilt brat. Always believing that I get everything I desire. Whatever the case I can't undo the past. I just need to move on. I don't want anyone to die honestly. I still want the Prince all to myself but I think it's pretty clear that he wants Ntombi. I've tried breaking their love even killing the women who owns the king's heart. I don't want any part in that demons plans. I want to move on. I need to accept my position in this kingdom. I've made my bed now I get to sleep on it. This is the first time owning up to anything really.

"The women we've been looking for. Please, please don't run. A friend sent me." A figure appeared right in front of me. He looked scary. Big form and eyes that pierced into my soul. His uncanning smirk made me feel uneasy.
"I won't eat you. I just came to deliver a message. You see the baby you are carrying belongs to my friend." No no, not my baby. What did I think making a deal with the devil will lend me heh? How in the hell I'm I supposed to return this favor now.

"No please not my unborn child." I told it. Whatever it is he is.

"Then you'll do as we say. Take this... "

"I want no part in this please leave me alone." I interrupted him before he could finish.

"I don't want to repeat myself." I shook my head as he tied a bracelet on my wrist.

"Never take it off or else you will die."

He disappeared like he was never there in the first place. I examined my wrist. The bracelet looked expensive but I won't be fooled. This is part of their plan. What the bracelet does is what I don't know.

I looked around and no was here. Alone like always. I guess this is the kind of pay back people talk about. I've gotten myself in this misery and I'll perish in it forever. The man I love, the king, is comforting the women he loves. I guess destiny is stronger than anyone's will.
