ALIYA AND THE WITCH SYNDICATE
EPISODE 14
WRITTEN BY REMI THE WRITER

The girls of Pelican Girls High didn't depend on their school bell before the gathering.

  Both junior and senior student summoned themselves to the assembly area,  clutching candles close to their chests as they paid their last respects to Mr. Eugene.

The assembly area was a sea of flickering white candles each of their flame was a silent tribute to the teacher who had touched their lives in ways more profound than they could express.

 Some tears were real, some not, but all eyes were on the principal and the teachers who stood solemnly at the front.

Aliya and Sammy held their candles tightly, the wax melted against their fingers.

 Aliya's eyes leaked tears, not just for the loss, but for the complexity of feelings she harbored. Mr. Eugene had been harsh, but dëath seemed be an extreme penalty for his stern ways.

Dorcas along with the other prefects glared angrily holding the white candles giving to them,

Her thoughts were elsewhere, tangled in worries about her aunt rather than the somber ceremony. 

 Christabel read her countenance from behind,  she tapped her shoulder with the anticipation of a mockery smile which made dorcas to furrow her eyebrows with annoyance.

"Hey sport prefect are you scared? why looking so worried?," christabel sneered, but Dorcas ignored her, with her gaze lost in the crowd.

During those happening aliya had been staring secretly at dorcas and the rest of the prefects, furrowing her gaze at them with suspicious.

Dorcas disappearing into thin air without traces the night before  along with the prefects, and Mr Eugene's dèath the next day after he had punïshed dorcas severally for lying,

 It couldn't be a coincidence......

The candlelight vigil stretched on, prolonged by a pastor's ominous words.

The pastor rally words of the untimely dëath of Mr Eugene stating it wasn't a ordinary dëath.

 He spoke of witchcraft, of hidden evils among them.

 Dorcas felt a chill  running down her spine.

she immediately excused herself in the midst of the girls at the assembly ground.

"Witches are amongst us, and they're here currently," the pastors words keeps replaying in dorcas ears as she increase her walking pace back to her dorm.

  Dorcas couldn't shake the feeling, perhaps he's going to expose them in front of the whole school.

As she hurried away, Christabel and her cronies blocked dorcas's path.

 "Where do you think you're going?" christabel  demanded furrowing her left eyebrows.

Dorcas's retort was fierce. "I can go anywhere without your permission, this isn't your coven,"Dorca angrily retorted taking her leave while Christabel dragged her back.

"We didn't chase you here to exchange words with you," Christabel explain with anger evident in her countenance.

"It's time for your second trial."

 "I'm not in the mood," dorcas snapped, breaking free from Christabel's grasp.

"We read your darkest fear and we're going to use that as the second trial," she paused briefly as she tried bending down to balance Dorca's short height.

"Go and kïll that pastor running his mouths about wītches he's going to expose us, if truely you need to be in charge without our permission, you will need to do the needful or ....."

Dorcas's anger flared. "You're īnsane," she spat back.

  Christabel got stunged by dorcas turning down their request, she was about to hit Dorcas on the face  but she docked it transforming herself into a vulture to escape.

Christabel  and her cronies transformed into a vulture, following suit. They went to the uppermost roof of the school, their cries pierced through the night chasing dorcas around every corner of pelican girls high.

 The vulture fights with their screams and screeches  became evident to the gatherings including the pastor,

The battle was fierce. Dorcas, now a vulture herself, tore at Christabel, gaining the upper hand. Below, the pastor prayed fervently, his prayers began to weaken them.

The fight was brutal, Christabel's friends were affected by the chanting of Jesus Christ and they  flew away leaving dorcas and Christabel to their fate.

Dorcas struggle to escape as well as the other seniors but Christabel knocked her down with her claws, not backing off from their fight.

 Dorcas emerged victorious, she managed  sending Christabel plummeting to the ground, her form shifting back to human as she fell.

To everyone amazement, they saw a fat girl who had Christabel's appearance, with marks pierced through her black vulture skin as she fell, 

Her eyes were glowing red flames, 
sending the crowd scattering, their candles were forgotten in the face of such a mysterious and terrifying sight.

The candle night at Pelican Girls ended not with the ringing of a bell, but with the revelation of a strange breed too dark for daylight.

Christabel lay lïfeless on the cold ground, covering her rëd coal eyes in shame as she breathe her last.........

Evil 1

Evil 1 ……………………………….. Ruth walked along the pedestrian way with bags hanging from her hands. She dragged her tired feet with her mind focused on reaching her destination; her home. She’d gone out as usual to sample some textile materials to people and hoped they would buy. That was her business and the family depended majorly on the income from it. Her husband, Tunde, had become almost dependent since after losing his job in a bottling company some years back. Since then, he had refused fo seek for a permanent employment and only engaged in ‘adhoc’ employments which came once in a while. Sadly, she made no sales that day after trekking around the town under the scorching sun. As she walked carrying her bags of textile materials and hoping to get home before her tired legs would give way, a mad man walked briskly past her. It was not a thing to worry about as mad people were common sights around the town. But after taking a few steps forward, the mad man ran back and tapped her on the s...

Who wants to kell you?” I asked sitting up on my bed. “My boyfriend. . . He. . He wants to kill me.” “Where are you?” “I’m inside and I have locked the door. I heard him stepping out and once he returns, he’ll kill me.” “No matter what us happening, you can’t sleep there tonight. Have you called anyone whom you can stay with?” “I just called two of my friends but the said they’re not around. I’m dead.” She begins to weep again.

My mother married my husband 6

My mother married my husband Episode 6 I didn't have anywhere to sleep, I couldn't go back to the village. People will begin to ask questions, I sold all the jewelry Femi bought for me since we got married. I used the money to rent a small apartment, got a bed, and other little things I needed.  The compound wasn't much but I had to manage knowing it's my starting point in life. I never got rid of my son's clothes, I made sure they where still safe in his boxes. Sometimes I sleep on them, imaging he was there with me.  I got back to the hospital for my son's body, I wept so much when I saw jimmy cold and stiff in a white dress. I took to the general cemetery and buried him, my tears that day knew no bounds.  I felt like dying with Jimmy, I felt like all hope was lost. I sat close to his grave singing his favourite gospel song, telling him how much I miss him and love him.  "Jimmy I promise you on this day January 3rd 2015, I will never forget you, I will ne...
