The Augury

Part 14

[Cebo ]
"Baba this has to stop she is only a child "
He looks at her and thinks
" she is our child baba, please! Let me do the sacrifice she came out of my womb we share the same blood "
" Get her ready the lord needs her blood, 6 children are needed from her womb and once this is over I promise to wipe her memory, just get her ready "
"She is just a child what would the world think of me when they find out that I allowed my husband to be the one to first taste her child fruits not only that impregnates her only to take her innocent souls for ritual kanti bafunani labantu ngengane yami ..."
I looked at her crying holding my doll, as the man walked out, when he opened the door a baby cried, it was loud and piecing all I wanted was for it to stop,
Me: go away please...just stop please...please stop!!"

I rose up from the bed screaming and panting holding my ears

" Cebo ...Nomcebo !! "
I felt hands shaking me and they slowly pull me to an embrace  rocking me, this was not Ziqubo arms there was something different about this arms their warm and protective  arms,
I slowly opened my eyes I was in an unfamiliar room,

"it's ok...it was just a dream"
His voice alone made me believe that I'm safe, strange as it sounds I did not want to let go of him
Him: it's just a dream ok"
I raised my head from his shoulder to look at him  and I was meet by his small eyes I just could not read him, but I notice that the scary oura he always has on was not there today
Him: are you ok?"

He says softly but his voice is manly and bold it kinda makes my skin crawl
he clears his throat looking at my chest I realized that I was staring at him longer than normal

" How did I end up in your bed ?" I asked when I realized I was in his bed
Him: you ..."
I panicked
Me: where is Mbali?"
Her: she.." I pulled the covers to cover my exposed body since my robe was taken off and my girls are on display worst part I'm in strang man's bed with my nightdress on ooh God Cebo how could you be so stupid, a million thoughts cross my mind right now, what happened last night
Me: I need your phone I have to call a friend to get me "

He looked at me with a raised eyebrow, we were disturbed by a Knock on the door and a boy who looks like Sfiso walked in with a trey
" hi I'm Omnia welcome to our home, I made you hot beverage I didn't know if you like coffee or tea so I put everything here, the bathroom is that side there are fresh towels in the first drawer of the sink cabinet, I also took out something you can change into, it just tracks pants and T-shirt, I hope you don't mind, uuuuhm you will find it on top of the laundry basket"

I looked at Sfiso who was shocked as I am
" hi! I'm Nomcebo...uuum thank you "
Sfiso: ain't you suppose to be at school?"
Omnia: and leave her with you, dude chances are we would have never seen her again"
I bust out and laughed shaking my head
Me: your brother is a gentleman"
Sfiso: his my son...can you get out of here so she can drink her hot beverage that you never make for me "
Omnia: dude we have a guest in this room why you trying to make me look like a bad child in front of her "

My mouth was on the floor did he say his, my son? I looked at them walk out and I place my hand on my mouth in shock,

I felt something stinging on my back I ran my hands on my neck it felt like something bites me, no wait it felt like blisters I ran to the bathroom and lifted my hair from my back looking at the back of my neck ...
" oooh my God !!"

[Portia]
I walk around with a towel wrapped around my body, looking for my clothes
"I put them in a washing machine "
I looked at him as he lazily looked at me, his grey duvet cover was only hiding his private, his ripped up body was the only thing on display, I breathe out loud distracting my mind and I walked to his closet
Him: Portia "
Me: not now Ziqubu "
Him: Kanti when?"
I take out his t-shirt and put it on, I regret sleeping with him I thought I was going to leave before he woke up, I have so much anger for him and I hate that he has so much hold over me, he is wrong for me I know but I'm just drawn to him
Him: please don't go "
Me: we don't do well with cuddling you know that "
