Short chapter
Sthe
I was about to pull the trigger, there was so much conflict going on inside me. I didnt want to do it but i had to i was not given a choice. She could jeopardise mine and mom's life. I loved her and wished there was another way. I got ready to pull the trigger. Suddenly the room felt extremely cold even the hairs on the back of my neck stood. I just saw the duvet covering Ndoh. I tried to pull the trigger it was as though its stuck. I clicked. Nothing! I was now shivering but the windows were closed. "Sthe" a voice said behind me but when i turned there was nobody there. " what the fuck is going on?! " i mumbled to my self. I pointed the gun to the door and went to go investigate who was calling me. I got the living room the tv just switched on." is someone here,? This isnt funny i will find you and shoot you"!!! I heard a loud scream a blow your ears off type of scream. My blood curled i ran to the bedroom and it wasnt Ndoh. She was still sleeping so soundly. I was now confused i was convinced someone was playing a trick on me. "Sthe... Why did you kill me?" i jumped in shock.
Me: k-k-kill you? B-b-but who are you? This was scaring the shit out of me. Then suddenly silence complete utter silence. It was as if time stood still or maybe i have gone deaf. I crouched next to the bed. I never been so scared in my life. I clutched my gun. Every part of me was shivering it was so cold. This is maybe the angel of death has come to punish me for my sins.

Oh it was so lovely. I was in the garden Rose and i used to play in. I was sitting on the bench just taking in the beautiful view it was more beautiful than i remembered like something out of the movie. I sat there basking in the sun. " Ndoh?" a voice said behind me. I turned to look. No! My eyes must be playing tricks on me. It was Rose. Looking so beautiful with the biggest smile on her face. "Rose!!" i jumped for joy and went to hug her. We embraced for the longest time i just wept. My Rose was here with me. I was hugging her. She didnt leave me. "Oh Rose, you dont know how much I've missed you" i sobbed. We broke the embrace. She wiped my tears.
Rose: sawubona, she smiled showing those white teeth of hers.
Me: yebo. I smiled from ear to ear remembering how this was how she greeted me the very first time she saw me all those years ago.
Rose: why are you crying, didnt i tell you i would always be here for you?
Me: how Rose i watched you lying lifeless. They wouldnt even release your body for a funeral please forgive me Rose. I cried so hard.
Rose: shhh Ndoh wam angfuni akhale ever. I heard your cries thats why im here i cant cross over just yet not when my flower needs me. She took me in her arms.
Me: oh Rose people that killed you are tying to kill me too. And im dating one of then, im so confused Rose please take me with you please! I begged.
Rose: dont be silly. It isnt your time yet. But im here to ensure nothing happens to you. She made me lay my head on her lap. She was brushing my hair with her hand humming a song i didnt know but it was so soothing my heart was sOo much at ease. I closed my eyes they felt heavy. I must have fallen asleep on her lap but when i opened my eyes i was now on Menzi's lap.
Me:wheres my Rose? I asked sleepily.
Menzi: she's coming back dont worry im here for you go back to sleep. I did as told i trusted Menzi my Rose wouldn't leave me with someone i couldn't trust.

Sthe: wwho are you?
Woman: oh no I'm hurt Sthe you honestly dont remember me?
Sthe: n-n-no why should i know you his voice was shaking.
Woman: BECAUSE YOU KILLED ME!!! AAAAAAAAAAH. She screamed. Sthe covered his ears that scream was deafening. He looked around he saw Ndoh is still sleeping he stood up and jumped on the bed to wake her. But she was out almost lifeless but he could still feel her pulse.
Woman: you leave my Flower alone!! The woman charged at Sthe and went right through him. This shocked Sthe to the core he couldnt even move he was paralysed.
Woman: nc nc nc Sthe cat caught your tongue? Did you really think i would let you kill my flower.? Even in death i will protect my sister shes too precious! Sthe wasnt moving he just sat there staring into space.
Woman: my job here is done. She smiled satisfied at how she scared Sthe. With that she dissapeared again. The room was now warm again. Sound returned, time was moving again. Nomfundo woke up. She rubbed her eyes and looked over at Sthe, she saw he had his eyes open.
Nomfundo: hey you why are you awake? Silence. Sthe didnt respond. She shook him.
Me: Sthe you not being funny talk to me. Sthe just stared into space not moving he was so cold but he was still breathing just not moving and responding.
Nomfundo: Sthe whats wrong im really scared now. She shook him some more she was now crying. She reache out for her phone, dialled the ambulance.
Nomfundo: hello? Yes umm my boyfriend is not moving or responding i dont know whats wrong please come?
EMS agent: Maam please calm down please check his pulse and tell me if its there. She checked the pulse and the breathing everything was normal. The paramedics asked for the address she gave them.
