karma?

I remained in the car, i just couldn't move. I was still shocked to my bones about what ifeanyi told me. Fear gripped my bones and turned my blood cold. I was with a sociopath. I looked around our surrounding. It was quiet except for the chirping of birds, the cabin was new but designed to look old, it was indeed beautiful. There were lots of trees around, lots of loose soil. Easy to dig and bury my body. Maybe ifeanyi was the Nigerian Ted Bundy, seducing and luring unsuspecting victims away to some isolated place and killing them for pleasure. Jesus!. Come to think of it, i didn't even hear of any villa that was opening this weekend. How could something this big be happening and no one in town heard of it. There were clues but i ignored them. Who chases a girl they just met relentlessly and then whisks her away on an impromptu trip. Who falls for a guy just under two weeks and can't stop thinking about him even after almost two months, unless it was jazz(sorcery).

You know how they say your whole life flashes before your eyes before you, when you are about to die. Well, i began to regret a lot of things. I should have hugged my sister properly and cried with her, at least she will have had a proper goodbye, i should have spent more time with èpà, i should have gone for confession, made up with my siblings. I shouldn't have bought that expensive hair for Christmas, i wouldn't even get to wear it now.

Ifeanyi had gone into the cabin, probably to prepare the place for my slaughter. The phone ran jerking me from my thoughts. Oh my God! A phone, i had a phone on me all this while. Why didn't i call the police?, probably because they are as useless as a cockroach in heat. I looked the caller ID, it was my sister. I picked up the phone and started speaking frantically.

"omo, I'm dead, who send me to follow fine boy, omo I'm finished. It's like this is the end of the road for me".

"calm........ wn, ofu....... I... " she was breaking because the network was bad. So i screamed even louder.

"Ifeanyi is a killer, he has murdered someone before. I think I'm next".

"what!" i looked up at where the voice was coming from. It was ifeanyi, hovering above me. He snatched the phone from my hand, punched a few buttons, i guess he was sending a text. Switched off the phone and got back into the car, then drove back to the direction we were coming from.

Ifeanyi put the car in full gear and was on high speed. My fear had intensified, maybe he was going to kill us both; on the highway. I started to pray, the last time i did that was the night deji almost raped me. Yeah... I know.. I know... I'm am an ingrate.

Soon the roads became familiar to me, we were going back to my house. Fear was fading to confusion. Did he want to take me back to my house so he could kill my father as well. Or hold us hostage so my sister won't alert the authorities.

He parked the car infront of my house and i quickly scrambled to unlock the door, so i could get out. But he locked the them from the main control.

"you know I really don't know what to say to you ofure. I'm so dissapointed". I really didn't care for his disappointment. I just wanted to get out of his car and run into my gate. I didn't feel safe with him.

"ifeanyi, please unlock the car so i can go out". I begged, i didn't want to annoy him. Not when i was so close to safety.

"was it because, i said that i killed someone". He asked but i didn't respond. He laughed dryly. "you know everyone has flaws, ofure. At least Yeti was able to see past mine". This angered me and i spoke.

"well then you can go back to yeti. You guys could be Bonnie and Clyde for all i care, I'm not interested. Flaws ke, this isn't a flaw. Ifeanyi you are a murderer. Jesus! You made me feel so safe with you, i ca..."
