Souls twined together

Chapter 9

Mpiyenza POV

Well my life has been pretty good but my powers are fading away, Nkosinathi's spirit is no longer powerful, l'm losing my way... Abantu bangithatha kancane manje... Zenzelo has lost taste, she needs to die. Now l have to kill this bxtch of a wife ... Probably l should have sacrificed this woman she is causing problems for me! (He growls like a wild dog)

" Yindaba uwenza lonsindo?"( Why do you always make that noise) she startles me " Yeyi mfazi Musa ukuba yisindina" l say angrily, she just looks at me and leaves the living room
" Nx" l say as l look at her, she disgusted me... My phone rings , and shxt it's him, l've been avoiding him... And it's ignoring now, l answer the phone
" Ya wena Mpiyenza, kunini ngikufuna!!" He says angrily
"Cha baba bengisamathasatha kodwa..."
"Angingene, ngifuna okungokwami, ukuletha Nini?"
"Mmhm" the cat got my tongue, even though she is tasteless l still want to use her " Ngicela izinyanga ezinthathu baba." I say in a sorrowful tone
" Ohh ngiyezwa , inyanga ezinthathu kuphela, siyezwana!?" He says... As about to reply he says something that kills me internally "Futhi unkosikazi kaNkosinathi usebuyile, inkosana yakhe seyikukulunge ukukuqoba" he drops the call

Ohh no... l have to kill Zenzelo

Zenzelo's POV [The continuation of Chapter 8]

I could see his veins , rushing with blood has he licks me , enjoying my rushing breaths as l try to stay calm. The broken mirror lands on his throat... I stab him three times, he growls loudly and get off me... He is bleeding getting weak and his eyes are dying out... I quickly hop of the bed , wear my pants and a baggie shirt , take my phone from the changer and make a video of him ... Naked l needed proof. I found my key and unlock the door... I ran to the corridor and open my mother's bedroom... Took about R250 and left the house

My chest was burning and everything looked like a doodle and next thing I'm at Siphenathi's house, she is crying, her eyes are blood red " Zenzelo?" She says, as if she doesn't believe that I'm alive "MAMA!! UVUKILE" she screams, crying, ion if there were tears of joy or sorrow

"INTONI?!, NYANI!?" MaRadebe says.. but she is not in the room
"EWE... KHAWULEZISA AMANZI" She says patting me with a warm towel... A burning sensation,meant that l was hurt.. "Nzelo? Thetha nami yintoni" she says, her voice fades showing that she is crying "Siphenathi..." I try to speak but l can't instead l cough... "MAMA KHAWULEZISA AMANZI BETHUNA" she getting irritated, her voice is more deep she is angry... "Kodwa ndithe ngiyeza njena ... Bengisafuna iMedical help ... Bathi bazofika mafushane" Her mother says while helping me to sit up straight.
"Unjani sanalwam' " her voice fades and a phone rings
"Hello..... Ewe unathi.... Akathethi.... Ukhawuleze usezihlungwini..... Angifuni kwanto ethi Mpiyenza kwami.. okay... Usheshe... Ewe okay bye " ... She ends the call and faces me " Why were you running?" She asks.. Making me to queer l try to speak but l can't... Reminding the scene where he used to block my voice so that l don't scream when he pounding me like a... a punching bag... A hiv of mixed emotions come up and start tearing up... " Thetha sanalwam' yintoni?" She sounds concerned " Ngi right ma, ungakhathazeki"... I look at my feet, my pedicure has faded out.. my feet look crusty and my toe nails have peeled like an orange... Wena owabona ibhola liphele umoya... And it was painful, but l survived

Well l wonder how MaCele and Zenathi feels

Bhekani's POV
" Mama, yaz l was thinking... How about l get a girlfriend ?" I smirk... I loved teasing her but today she was ... Alone, with her thoughts of course, l clear my throat" uhh mama ... What's wrong?" I say looking at her , trying to understand why is she quiet,
"Lutho Khehla, kukhona nje..." Her voice fades away and she is tearing up, okay what is going on... I sit next to her and Don't say anything... I quietly look at her, mother is beautiful, no cap... Dad made a great choice" Yes he did... (Sniff) l miss him so much" she says has tears roll down on his face... " I have to tell you something" she says after the noiseless moment she had...
" Your wife, the one the ancestors chose for you, the only woman whom will love you for you, is... Abused" she sniffs even more has her tears roll down her caramel face... " The one who you always see in your dreams, she is crying begging someone to save her miraculously, she had to run away from that monster... " Her voice trails and start crying, loudly making me nervous" mama what do you mean when you say the wife the ancestors chose for me?... So the girl l always dream of is MY WIFE? HOW, WHY?!" I say loudly, confused af
" Calm down, l will tell you everything, sit and l will tell you " she says calmly " Your father had a friend Mpiyenza Khoza, who was also in the taxi business, when l was pregnant with you , your father had challenges, hardship because the business was not a source of income instead we were losing lots of money, l don't know what happened but l remember that day your father came home drunk... A new thing to me because he never drank alcohol but that day was very drunk,
....
Nkosikazi, banezihloso ngami, uMpiyenza ufuna imali yegazi....
That's what he said, l didn't take it seriously because he was drunk and l was pissed ( chuckles) cabanga nje.... I'm pregnant umuntu unginukisela ngotshwala (lightly laugh) ohh well I didn't take it seriously because okunye Mpiyenza was known to be rich so why would he want sacrificial money..."

I nod to show her that I'm still listening

" the next day , he woke up made coffee and sat on the chair looking at me... I wondered ukuthi why did he say his best friend wants imali yegazi... It's was like he was listening to my thoughts because he busted out the truth... Telling that Mpiyenza is dangerous and we should stay away from him... But it was too late... He had already killed his father and his baby boy and was coming for your dad.." she breathes and continues " on the 25th of June... You were born but your dad started to be sick that exact day... Mpiyenza was... His clothes were stained by fresh blood, the blood of his baby." She hardens her face and says
" Your wife is in danger, his father Mpiyenza wants to sacrifice her so that he can be the most powerful, yet dangerous demon in his world... The KIPEPO island, were there is lots of different torture and violence... He belongs to malkia wa pepo who gave him the powers and the wealth... Now this Queen wants the blood... And the sangoma that helped him will die soon become one of the messengers of the malkia ... This in simple terms... Mpiyenza is a powerful ritualist "

" So the day you said l must fight, you meant this!?" I ask puzzled " Yes but you need her next to you or else you won't be to defeat him" she says and she sits like a man. "Khehla your father went to the river to ask his ancestors for answers and he was told that Mpiyenza is going to kill him and his daughter will marry you "
"So are you saying l'm going to marry this girl? Who is she?"
" I think her name is Zelo something "
"Ma mina angithandi what if l don't love that girl?" I say clearly pissed off " Uthando lukhona khehla and futhi she is your soulmate, abaphansi bavumile"
I stay quiet a min and sigh there is nothing l can do now, vele l was dream her but to think she's my soulmate!? Nah
