"Uhm, okay. Thanks for the information."

"You're welcome, but anyways, let's get out of here. It's way too dark and you both can barley see."

"Yeah you're right."

So, that's exactly what we did. Me, Kai, and X both went back upstairs. I showed X around the place, he had obviously not known much about the layout.

"So this is the kitchen, the living room, the basement, obviously, the laundry room, and a bedroom. Upstairs we have another bedroom, andddddd another bedroom, a storage room, and then an attic. It's kinda small, too."

I showed him pretty much everything, but of course there was some questions.

"What can be played on this jukebox?"

"Uh only one song. The Entertainer. It's one of my favorites.

"Ah yes The Entertainer, Scott Joplin, it's one of my favorites aswell."

"There is more to the story, too."

"What's that?"

Me and Kai were intrigued, so we listened in.

"Well, The Ukuhamba is an averagely tall figure, but you don't know, it stole something from ME."

"It stole my POWER, I don't know how, I don't know when, but it happened. So no wonder I'm so powerless. So, I guess that Ukuhamba has power himself, he was worthless before, had absolutely nothing with him. He's powerful, too powerful. So it must be stopped. And this is exactly why I'm helping you both."

Well, I guess the whole tour of the house AGAIN and X' little story killed sometime, it was nearing midnight, again.

"Also, Ukuhamba will probably show up again,  so I'm just letting you know so that you're prepared."

"Figures. He's so dark, the sun would probably burn him alive."

"Also, why is this door wrecked?"

"Yeah I still need to fix that it was Ukuhamba's doing."

And now we heard a noise outside.

"And that's probably Ukuhamba."

"Stay inside, he's too scary. I can't go out there and search."

"Yeah it doesn't matter to me, I know what he looks like, I created him after all. I'll search."

"Ok but don't trip on the rubbl-"

"AHHHHHHHH"

SLAM!

"I'm okay!"

"Ok let me go check it out."

And X was gone, into the darkness. I hope he will be ok.

"Alright Ukuhamba where are you at?"

"..."

"There you are."

"SCREAM!"

"X! UNGITHOLE KANJANI?"

"Akusho lutho, yeka ukuthusa wonke umuntu. Uyini umgomo wakho wokugcina ekwenzeni lokhu?"

"IMPILO YAMI IBE NGAMANGA MDALI WAMI. NGANGINGAKUFANELE UKUDALWA LAPHA EMHLABENI. WENZE LOKHU KIMI. PHUMANI ENDLELENI YAMI."

"Linda! Buya!"

"CHA!"

"Ahh uhlanya!"

"Well Kai, I'm not sure where X is but-"

"SLAD! LOOK OUT!"

"AHH!"

"Ukuhamba! Stop this!"

HITS WITH RUBBLE

"LOKHO KUBUHLUNGU! NGIZOBUYA KUSASA! FUTHI NGESUKU ELILANDELAYO, FUTHI NGESUKU ELILANDELAYO!"

"Sala kahle!"

And The Ukuhamba left. I think he might be scared of X. 

"X, what were you saying? It sounded like gibberish.."

"Oh yeah my apologies I was speaking Zulu, or otherwise known as Ukuhamba's language. "Ukuhamba" means "The Walking" but "Ukuhamba" sounds better to me."
