The betrayal

the game is called hide and seek, not seek the found

Chapter 15

Early next morning Sarah went to Munangwa's room to wake her up so she could start getting ready for their journey to the village, she didn't bother knocking as she just walked in.

She found Chidzima and Munangwa sound asleep in each other's arms.

She quietly walked out to get a broom and bucket of ice cold water; she threw the cold water at them and started hitting them with the broom, "what did I say to you guys about showing me some respect in my house?

Did I not tell you that you are not yet married and you cannot be doing this, did you have sex?"

Munangwa and Chidzima ran out of their room and quickly got ready while Sarah prepared breakfast.

They sat quietly around the table but far apart and had their breakfast.

An hour later, they were all packed in and beginning their journey to the village, Chidzima and Munangwa on the front seat and Sarah behind them.

Munangwa was texting Musuku telling her they are on their way and explaining the events of what has been happening until they were caught that morning.

Musukus POV

Another text came through and when I opened it I read about how Aunt Sarah beat up Munangwa and Chidzima this morning "lol OMG where was I? I would have loved to see this as it happened" I responded.

I then put my phone on the charger and walked out to go talk to my mom about Muneiwa.

"Mom we need to talk, it's about Muneiwa" I explained to her the events of how I got to know Muneiwa, until what happened when we arrived the village, I also to her about the mystery guy I had been talking to since the day we got to the village.

To be honest, I have been speaking to and texting this guy more than I had spoken to Munangwa in the last few days, and it seems I've been enjoying it.

I don't know for sure if I am into him as such but the conversations we have been having have made me feel way more comfortable with him than I normally would with a mobile stranger.

The more I thought about him, the more I wanted to meet him but then again I was afraid of the feelings I get whenever he speaks to me, calls me his angel or tells me he loves me.

There is no way in hell I was going to tell Munangwa about this, I need to be sure of my feelings towards this guy and I need to understand him more, maybe he is only too good to be true over the phone and a total jerk in person, who knows?

I am probably over thinking this and I need to stop and get ready to go to the funeral.

Just as I finished getting dressed, I heard a loud scream coming from outside, I could tell it was Muneiwa's scream but I just needed to be sure so I ran out to go see what was happening.

When I arrived I saw Newi kneeling in the middle of a circle she drew using charcoal, "hu do fa vhararu, hu do fa vhararu" she kept chanting these words which mean "3 will die" she was using the venda language.

It was as if she was in some sort of trans and spirits were manifesting through her, I quickly started to pray and as I did, I was reminded about how she shouldn't go to the funeral and that if she did, three more people will die as her grandmother needs more blood.

As I was about to invade the circle she drew, my mom shouted that I shouldn't, I told her it was okay and I wasn't afraid.

I entered the circle and started casting out the spirits of her grandmother in her, it started to storm within the circle and I felt that I really needed to fight, the struggle went on for what felt like 10 minutes.
