Once upon a time 29

PART 29 " ONCE UPON A TIME " Opeyemi Akintunde. As soon as the Silence fell upon the camp, Rogers, Pastor Greg and the driver knew something terrifying was about to happen. All the campers fell to their knees like they were bowing down to some kind of god. Pastor Greg could feel the presence of a very demonic being. Something so devilish about the presence irritated him. He knew they were in for deep trouble. "But God why is it that you have not saved me at this point? The word of God says that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. I know I messed up but please I am calling upon your name right now. Please save me. Please I beg you Father," Pastor Greg pleaded silently to God. He was not ready to die; There had been a lot of unfulfilled prophecies that he had heard in the past. He had been told that someday he would smile but none of the prophecies had materialized and here he was smelling death so close. "What do we have here?" a vo...

PART 28 " ONCE UPON A TIME " ©️Opeyemi Akintunde. " I am a friend and not a foe!" The driver said looking around the car for signs of any human, but he saw none. " Ha!" He screamed as he felt something heavy dropping on him. As a result,  he found himself kissing the floor. He struggled to get back on his feet and pull off what had trapped him. It was a big net, so big he could not find the tip of it as he struggled to get it off him. " Egungun lon ri" ( The masquerade is the one walking).... The driver repeated the coded statement. He believed it was the forest guards that  trapped him. Rogers and Pastor Greg who unfortunately could not get out of the car because of the charm that had locked them  to their seats, looked at each other exchanging facial expressions that spoke a multitude of words. " We are dead!" Was Rogers words in his head " My Spiritual Antenna can not even detect what is going right now" Was Pastor Greg...

PART 27 " ONCE UPON A TIME " ©️Opeyemi Akintunde  "Shut Up! Shut up...I have had enough of your talk..." The driver screamed at both men The driver got down from the car, went to the boot of the car. He had heard enough of the Pastor's talk and from his observation he could see he was already making the charm on the other passenger to lose effect. He brought out the duct tape from the trunk. " I have heard enough  of your nonsense." The driver said as he taped Pastor Greg's mouth. He knew the charm had paralysed them, hence he couldn't move his hand against him. " Let's see how your God will save you when we get to the village." He said He walked back to the driver's seat... " If you try anything funny, I will do same to you " He said to Rogers...  "By the way, do you know each other, he was talking like he knew you from somewhere" Rogers shook his head in the negative.. ****** Kemisola was close to Atan in...

PART 26 " ONCE UPON A TIME " ©️Opeyemi Akintunde  They must have driven for 3 hours when Kemisola started feeling pains in her lower back region. She knew it was not wise to give the car to Harry, but it was either him or the psychiatric patient she had mistakenly carried with her... ******* EARLIER... Kemisola had followed with her plans in trying to return Janet to the hospital.  When Harry saw Janet in the car, he had given a questioning look. " Don't worry, she is not going with us, I am going to return her to the hospital.  While trying to catch up with you, she got into my car.." " I am not returning to the hospital" Janet said authoritatively... " I am going with you wherever you go. You go to London, I go!" Janet emphasized  " I guess we can't travel if you don't take care of this." Harry said Kemisola moved closer to Janet... " Janet, just like you told me, you suspect Rachel's life is in danger, I am tryin...

PART 25 " ONCE UPON A TIME " ©️Opeyemi Akintunde  Harry hoped he wasn't dead. At that point, Even Rachel feared death. For someone who was craving death, she kept screaming... " I don't want to die..." Rachel was screaming. A group of people rushed to the car trying to offer help. Harry saw Kemisola rushing towards them as well. " Rachel are you Okay?" Harry asked quickly " Yes..I think so..." Rachel replied as she checked her body thoroughly.  " Hang on...this witch caused the accident so staying here will be dangerous" Harry said " Nothing will stop me from getting my wealth through this girl, I swear on my late mother's life" Harry swore within  Harry tried engaging the reverse gear but as he stepped on the gas, the car didn't move...

PART 24 " ONCE UPON A TIME " ©️Opeyemi Akintunde  Like a Flash, Kemisola got to the Ward. There was no one on the bed. Kemisola walked to the bed, she didn't want to believe that Rachel was not on the bed. She removed the bed cover hoping that somehow Rachel was under the sheets.... " Ma, are you looking for something?" A voice asked from behind " Yes, the girl...Rachel"  " She has been discharged. Her uncle insisted he wanted to go traditional..."  " Which Uncle? She doesn't have an uncle..."  Kemisola screamed " Erm...it was one of the men who had been visiting" " I brought her here. How could you discharge a patient I brought...I brought her here. I am going to sue this hospital..." Kemisola said in disbelief " Madam, if you can race to the parking lot, you might still catch up with him. I wheeled her to his car." The Nurse said Kemisola didn't waste any second as she raced down the stairs. S...

Evangelism to Ritualists is not part of the Job description you gave me sir...Jesus Christ! Please do not leave me ... No! It should be Father do not forsake me..." Pastor Greg was saying to himself " Because of You, Nnamdi's Boss has been Kidnapped. He came out looking for you after you left in anger and pride: in the process he was kidnapped .That's him seated in front." The inner voice replied him Pastor Greg stretched his neck to have a better look at the man sleeping in front. It was the face of the man in the hospital ward... " I wanted you to win his soul for me at the hospital, which would have been a very easy one for you, but since you always like to be bent before you do my will, you will have to win his soul for me in the Ritualist's den." The voice s...
