Cursed - My Name Is Karma

Chapter 16

I decide to take a stroll around the park which is a few kilometers from my house. While walking, I see a boy who is beating up a girl. I walk closer to them and from the conversation they are having in between the blows, I can tell that they are a couple. I stand in front of them and the fight stops. I look at the girl. She looks like she is 16 or something. Why is she standing there looking at this skinny boy beating him?

Me: “you, little girl, walk away.” She takes her backpack from the ground and walks away. Gosh she is even in her uniform. What is happening in this world? I turn to look at this boy. He is not wearing a uniform. I can make out that he is at least 19 or 20. I tilt my head to the side. “Why did you hit her?”

Boy: “lady mind your own damn business.” I feel myself getting angry instantly. Before I know it, I have sent him flying across the park straight to a tree. He falls down and groans. It takes a lot of strength for him to get up. I walk to him and squat to his level. “What the hell? Get away from me you vampire.” I laugh.

Me: “oww I wish I was one. But even if I was, I wouldn’t have feasted on your bitter blood. However I got some job for you. To make up for the trauma you put that girl through. I want you to do something for me. Don’t worry about the pain in your back. I will heal you. Now are you ready to serve Karma for a few days?”
Boy: “anything to get rid of this pain in my back.” I smile.

Me: “that’s what I am talking about.” I touch his back and he is healed immediately. I help him stand up and look straight into his eyes. “Now here is the plan. You will seduce Mama Lana. You won’t give her a change to say no. you will lead her into my trap. Sex her the whole night and then bring her magical amulet to me. Can you do that for me?” he nods. “Good. I will appear when you have the amulet then kiddo.” I walk away. 

I frown when I get to my house. The door is opened and there is someone humming inside. What the fuck? I have an intruder? How? I walk inside and when I get to the kitchen, I find a young woman busy cooking up a storm. She looks like she is familiar with this place or she has made herself feel at home. I walk inside the kitchen and lean on the doorway. I fold my arms to my chest and look at her. I clear my throat. She is startled because she jumps a little but exhales when she sees me.

Girl: “gosh you gave me a scare.” I raise my eyebrows looking at her. She smiles. “You must be wondering who I am and how I got in here.” she has this mysteriously calm aura surrounding her but she has some troubles and darkness that she is fighting. “I am Sibabalwe Mzobotshi. I am 20 years old and I am your personal assistant. You don’t need to introduce yourself. I know everything about you except your name. I have a feeling you don’t like people knowing it so you will tell me as time goes by.”

Me: “what are you doing in my house?”
Sibabalwe: “as I have mentioned, I am your PA, so…”
Me: “I hear that. I believe that Miss Zulu is the one who hired you and she told you all you need to know about me. So why are you here?”

Sibabalwe: “I just wanted to know my boss a bit better.” I remove my mask and sun glasses.
Me: “now you know who I am.” She just collapses. I chuckle and go to her. I drag her to the lounge. I place her on the couch and head out. I stand on the lawn and look up. “Motus empath dea, te voco. Responde mihi, et venite ad me omnes quaestiones. Maxime mihi ostendas.” Empath shows up. She looks like her normal colourful self. She is a rainbow actually. With so many colours covering her. She bows.

Empath: “your majesty. You have summoned me.” she even has a smile on her face. She looks… happy?
Me: “what the fuck is going on? Who is that little minion inside my house acting like my frickin daughter? How did she find my house and actually get in passing the protection spell? Is she some kind of a high level demon or entity?” she laughs and I swear I see unicorns dancing.

Empath: “you have laughed and smiled involuntarily for the first time in ages. Ever since you have met the human which was attacked by the Nyx you have leant to let loose. You are becoming less depressed. Yesterday you had an unplanned outing with your brother and you were not sad about it. In fact you were happy about going down memory lane a bit. She, the human in your couch, is the result of your recent mood. She is innocent and somehow part of your journey to getting rid of the curse.” I frown.

Me: “shouldn’t she be dead by now? I mean anyone who has the power to rid the curse gets attacked by the dark world.”
Empath: “this one they didn’t see coming. Which is why she was led to your house. So that she can be protected from them.”

Me: “I have to live with that chatterbox?” I ask gesturing at the house. “That chatterbox? What if I snap and decide to kill her because she talks too much?” she laughs.

Empath: “you won’t kill her. Now go back inside and explain why you look like that. She is here to be a friend in need. She will understand and stick around. She is very much protected. Even when she is outside the house, the goddesses will always be watching her and making sure nobody touches her.” I groan and she laughs again. “Try to live in harmony with her. Your majesty.” She bows and then disappears. I sigh and head back inside. The human is now snoring. Dear God. Save me.
