Narrated

The room had suddenly become cold and everyone was feeling it, the lights started to flick on and off on and off.  They looked around at each Menzi kicked the gun who was pointing a gun towards him and grabbed his gun from him and pointed it at him instead. Everyone was just as confused, Thandi still held the gun against Nomzamo's head but she was shaking like a leaf.
Thandi: no! No! Its the ghost! I just know it is dont try anything or me or I'll shoot!!  Then everything stopped, the lights stopped flickering everyone stood still.  Then a heart wrenching scream tore through the room even the plasma burst everyone fell to floor covering their ears.  The scream was unbearable all those carrying guns had to drop them inorder to cover their ears.  Then silence!  Complete and utter silence!

Nomfundo

I was still crouching with hands covering my ears when it all went quiet. I looked up and all of a sudden Rose appeared , i couldnt believe my eyes was i still dreaming. She was smiling.
Rose: so you think you can hurt my flower? 
Me: Rose?  Can everbody else see you?  I looked at Menzi and my dad and they both nodded. I knee now she was visible to everyone.
Rose: hey you, she smiled my heart felt at ease. Everyone was still on the floor and i slowly got up followed by Menzi. Thandi also quickly got up.
Thandi: so i finally get to see the face of my tormenter. Funny i had a feeling it was you.
Rose: yes we finally meet again.
Thandi: i came prepared for you this time ungbheke kahle( watch me carefully ) im not Sthe. As soon as she said that something sent her flying across the room and landed on the couch that was there.
Rose: You were saying? This was a side to Rose that was new do me. I mean i know she was very protective and feisty but this,  this was new and i liked it.  Serves the witch good. Thandi just got up and started to laugh hysterically .
Thandi: oh is that all you got?! Rose just smiled and looked at me.  I was just in a daze with the whole thing her hitmen were just frozen in shock their eyes wide open as if they were seeing some sort of horror film. They took and pointed thier guns at each other as though something was forcing them and thet shot each other simultaneously.  Menzi quickly ran to come hold me and Thandi looked at us.
Thandi: oh well they were a waste of air anyway, ncaaw isn't that sweet the two little mice and their silly ghost she laughed.  Seriously Thandi was looking like some crazy person,  before i knew it a chair flew from nowhere and hit her hard and she fell to the floor.  She continued to laugh. She just slowly got up and licked her bleeding lip and just stared at Rose.
Thandi: i know something you dont  know.
Rose : and what is that?
Thandi: that you fight a spirit with a spirit. She laughed again.  I was confused i looked at Menzi who just shrugged his shoulders.  I looked at Rose and she was not as confident anymore she looked worried.
Thandi: i knew that would get your attention,  you see while you were busy causing chaos in my house i was consulting higher powers. Powers so dangerous you look like a puppy compared to them.
Rose: what do mean? Nomzamo, Menzi get your guns out!
Me: Rose what is she talking about? What does she mean that you fight a spirit with a spirit?
Rose: dont worry just take care of yourself i underestimated this woman's cruelty. Just get ready to shoot your way out. She raised her hand and the guns went flying across the room away from Thandi and her other hitman. I wont lie all of this scared me but Menzi holding me made everything seem bearable. I took out my gun, Menzi already had his in hand and just waited for a sign any sign to act.  I looked over at my dad the poor man was so scared and helpless i wanted to run over and just hug him and tell him everything was going to be okay but how would i say that when i myself didn't know that it would be. Thandi started chanting some thing i couldn't hear the room became dark and smokey.  This was some scary stuff i clutched my gun for dear life.
Menzi: baby?  He whispered " kwenzakalan? (whats happening)
Me: angazi nam( i also dont know) but please dont leave my side.
Menzi: angeke sthandwa sam( i wont my love). Thandi continued chantinh like a crazy woman and i looked over at Rose and she looked scared. What could she possibly be afraid of. A figure appeared out of all the darkness and smokiness. It looked like a man. I covered my mouth in shock,  this man was Sthe!!  There was a certain darkness about him that i saw his eyes were pitch black he looked beastly and scary. I held on to Menzi all this was freaking me out and for the first time i saw him looking at me and i saw fear in his eyes as well.
Rose: woman what have you done?!
Thandi: oh Nothing just brought  a spirit to fight a spirit you were having an unfair advantage. This Sthe spirit looked so evil and Thandi shouted something and it charged towards Rose it was a battle of the ghosts the room was freezing things were flying across the room we watched in awe,  something to look at Thandi and when i did i saw she was now standing beside my father pointing a gun to his head. Handing him some papers. 
Me: Menzi!  Look! I pointed him in her direction.
Menzi: ucabanga ukuthi wenzani( what do you think  your doing)
Thandi: kuyoksiza ukphuma kulento( it would do you a great help if you butt out of this)
Menzi: drop your gun.  He pointed his gun at her i also followed his lead. I was willing to become a killer for my dad if i had to, im not about to lose him again never! With all the chaos with the two spirits fighting each other it was hard to keep focus  because we had to duck from flying objects a few times.  I think  Rose had my back even though she was fighting her battle because something came flying and hit her on the head she fell to the floor Menzi ran towards her to go get her gun but she got up before he could grab it from her. She pointed it at him. He didn't even get a chance to raise his at her.
Thandi: now loverboy your betrayal will cost you dearly. She was about to pull the trigger. I shouted " Nooo!  Please dont please im begging you?
Thandi : and yet there you are standing there pointing a gun at me,  tell me babygirl why shouldn't i?
Me: I'll put the gun down please dont shoot him. I put my gun down. She was still pointing a gun at Menzi.
Me: you dont have to do this ubaba will sign everything over to you angithi baba, ( right dad) i said looking over to him. He quickly nodded in agreement.
Me: you see we can all come out of this winners no one has to lose. The room went silent. I wanted to turn around and look but watching Thandi was more important.
Thandi: whoops i guess there goes your little ghost friend banished into the next dimension, we have both lost because now they are gone for ever never to return to earth. My heart was in shatters Rose has left me in the most painful way again.  I wanted  to cry but i knew i had to focus for Menzi's sake. "so are you gonna sign or what" she looked at my dad briefly and Menzi used that opportunity to pounce on her and try to grab her gun i think her grip on it was strong because there was a struggle between them"Zamo! You have to shoot!", Menzi ordered
Me: but how with you in the way. I cant i might shoot you.
Thandi: oh please that fool wont shoot. I admire Thandi's strength here i was quivering while holding my gun and she was wrestling Menzi for the gun and actually holding her own. " Zamo baby please just shoot please do it for your father if i let go of this gun she will shoot him SHOOT!!! I took a breath tried to aim at Thandi they were moving around to much once i thought i had a clear shot at the target i pulled the trigger. But Thandi had moved and the bullet hit Menzi instead.  I screamed Menzi Nooooo!  As he dropped to the floor i just felt a flood of anger and just pumped Thandi full of bullets until i saw her drop dead on the ground even that didnt satisfy me i went and stood over her and shot her in the head and dropped the gun and went to Menzi.
Me: Menzi please baby ungangishiyi( dont leave me) ngyacela bandla Menzi vuka ( im begging you please wake up) i checked him and saw he was bleeding from  the chest i tried to apply pressure but he was bleeding too much. I called his name once more then he opened his eyes and smiled.
Me: Menzi im so sorry i didnt mean to please dont leave me i was crying like crazy while kneeling beside him.
Menzi: shhhh,  dont cry at least one of us will get their happy ending.
Me: no baby shhh dont say anything dont speak like that. You cant leave me.
Menzi: Ngyohlez ngikthanda Zamo ( I'll always love you) look after Nelz for me. He wiped tears one my one cheek and closed his eyes and just went quiet. "Menzi?  MENZI?!!! NOOOO,. I felt for my phone in my jeans to call for paramedics i just cant lose Menzi i cant.
Baba: myeke mtanam akasekho( leave him my child hes no more).
Me: Noo baba unamamga hai uMenzi ngeke( no dad you lying not Menzi never!)
