My body crashed back into bed every time I tried to get up. I could barely move. I forced myself to crawl to the closet with tears in my eyes making everything blurry. My face was completely swollen now. I remember there being an emergency phone somewhere around here. After I found it, I switched it on and dialed the only number I knew. After hearing it ring, it was answered. "Hello?" I coughed to clear my throat. "Hellooo?" Me: "Help....please...hellpp." the phone switched off.....

Siyanda walked in his house after a long shift. Siya: "I can't feel my legs." he breathed. Siya: "I don't even think I can eat. Where's Niny? He owes me a sandwich." he sat on the couch arm rest. Siya: "Graham?" he looked at his friend. Graham was kneeling at his newly created private altar where he prayed and worshiped while in the house and not at church. It was an undisturbed place. No ornaments allowed around it. No other humans. Just him and his bible. Siya stood up and looked closely. Siya: "Mans, you're scaring me." still no response. Siya: "Oh no..." he held Graham's shoulder and pulled him up. Blood was running down his nostrils. Siya: "Graham?! I need you to wake up man!!!" Graham: "Spho..." he breathed. Siya: "What's wrong with Spho???" Graham sat down. Siya: "what's going on!!!!!" Graham: "I'm getting really strong visions Siya. Sometimes I can't pull myself out of it. I've been living in another world and sometimes they go on for so long I lose myself completely." Siya: "Is that why you couldn't hear me?" Graham: "Probably." Siya took off his t shirt and wiped the bloodied nose. Siya: "What's wrong with Spho?" Graham: "I haven't seen her yet but....the army is coming for her. Siya, they want to take her. They're not even waiting for Lakhe to marry her anymore. They're running out of time and getting desperate. Kadir wants to marry her." Siya: "WHAT!!!!!" he stood up marching to the door. Graham: "Where do you think you're going!!! Get back here!!" he picked himself up and ran after Siyanda. Graham: "Stop this!! They will torture your soul for centuries. Do not do this-" Siya: "He can't take her Graham! He can't take Spho again. Please don't let it happen! I beg you. Do something!!" Graham: "I'm trying Siya. Get back inside the house. Look at you, running to a demon army half naked. What are you smoking in that hospital? Geez." they walked in the house and stood in the dining room. Siya: "Where's Niny? He can protect her. The Queen Mother said so right? Where is the queen mother? Why isn't she preventing this!! Why does she let this happen!" Graham: "She will be helping. We need to have faith." Siya: "I need to call Sandile." Graham: "He was here. He received a call and just bolted out the house without warning. He was complaining about his girlfriend kicking him out the house so I don't know. I have a feeling its not related." Siya: "And Niny?" Graham gave it some thought. Graham: "Get a shirt. You'll find me in the car." Siya ran up the stairs. Graham waited on him with the engine on. Siya: "So where we going?" Graham: "As soon as Sandile left the house Niny started mumbling something I couldn't understand. I gave him a bit of space. This is when he started pacing and running around in a circle, screaming then he just ran out. That's when my first vision started." Siya: "Shit!! What if he was being commanded again? What if they are luring him back in to their cult!! Graham I can't lose Niny!!" Graham: "You're not going to lose him. Niny is part of us. I pray with him every hour. He will not slip. The light of God is protecting him." Siya: "Then why did he run? Graham, do you know how powerful the Komanders are? I don't think you understand the fact that they have just about everything imaginable including supernatural strength. They bulldoze through religions and ruin spiritual relationships." Graham: "I know exactly what they're capable of, but their power isn't even one tenth compared to God. They will not win." Siya: "Where are we going?" Graham: "To get Spho. We're starting at her house." Siya: "What about Lakhe? I don't want to face Kadir the successor of Komander." Graham: "He violated, Spho. The demon took over. He cannot control it." Siya stared out the window with a hard expression on his face. Graham: "She's denying it but I saw it. When she came here this morning, it was written all over her face. She's tired, and in pain but she wants to protect Lakhe-" Siya: "Stop Talking." he warned. Graham: "Siya, I know you're hurting-" Siya: "Hurt? Do you know what hurt is? You didn't stop him!!!! You didn't make her stay!!!! You let her go back to that animal!!!!" Graham: "Siya I work with God and His command-" Siya: "FUCK HIS COMMANDS!!!!!!!" he smashed the dashboard in and hard-knocked the passenger window with his elbow shattering it to pieces, screaming. Siya: "How could you let this happen!!" Graham stopped the car staring at the damage and his friend, shocked. Graham: "Siyanda, have you been praying daily like I'd suggested? Reading your daily devoti-" Siya: "You better drive this car." Graham stared into his eyes. Graham: "Siyanda don't do this, don't let it consume you again. You are not a demon-" Siya: "DRIVE."
