Must Read: A SECOND CHANCE - Season 2 - Episode 15

‘grandma, is she dead?’ Maria asked pointing to Alice ‘and Rhoda, whats wrong with her? She was behaving wierd like she was mad’
Nneka laughed ‘Rhoda wanted to see what she should not see’
‘so you made her mad?’
Nneka laughed and Maria took that as an affirmation to her question. She looked at her grandma, God! Who could have thought such a beautiful aged woman would be a witch capable of killing or turning someone mad. No wonder her spirit never matched with that of her grandma’s. But they were once very close but not anymore.
‘my dad?’ Maria asked.
‘he would be fine’
‘but why is he standing there like a statue?’
‘so he wont see or hear anything, even Rhoda’
‘is Alice dead?’
‘perhaps, but we have to call the queen of almighty kuvudu, Queen Lateefa to come and take her spirit and blood’
‘who is Queen Lateefa?’
With a speed of lightening, Queen Lateefa appeared and the whole room shook. Maria screamed in fright but when Nneka bowed before her, she kept quiet. Never had she seen someone this horrible looking all her life. This must be lucifer himself, she thought.
‘impressive Nneka, i loved that! You just proved to me how dedicated you are to Kuvudu. You are even bringing a fresh blood in, your grand daughter’ Queen Lateefa said.

Maria swore the room began to swirl around gently. Queen Lateefa stretched her hands towards Alice’s body and it disappeared. Maria drew back in shock. Nneka bowed and Queen Lateefa disappeared to.
‘grandma, where is…..she taki…ng her…her body to?’
‘to the kingdom. We are going to eat her flesh and drink her blood tonight’
‘we?’
‘yes, you are coming with us’
‘wh…why?’
‘because today will be your initiation and then you will become part of us’
Nneka stretched her hands towards Tony and Rhoda. ‘they wont remember a thing’ she said.
Tony coughed and Rhoda stood up. Tony looked around surprised ‘why is this room a mess? Who scattered it?’ he asked no one in particular.
‘Rhoda,’ Nneka called ‘clean up this mess’
‘yes ma’ Rhoda replied.

Maria ran out of the room

At night, Maria couldnt sleep, the events of the day kept coming into her head. She felt guilty and partly responsible for all that happened. She couldnt help but wonder what was happening to Alice at the moment. Maybe, they are already cooking her flesh for dinner, she thought.

She hated Alice yes, but she couldnt just sit and fold her arms when her life was in danger. She knew if Alice dies, her dad would remain single but she couldnt just let Alice die, no! She could stop the both of then from marrying but she must save her life. Nneka had warned her that at 12midnight, their spirit would leave for Kuvudu kingdom. She checked the time and saw it was past ten.

Not knowing what to do, she opened her wardrobe and collected her bible, then knelt by her bedside to pray……
