💣 NOT MY BLOOD 💣 EPISODE 8💣
I stood for a while at the entrance of the gate memorizing the name of the house and street and taking in every single necessary details about the vicinity to heart.
Even though I’m not coming back here anytime soon, but certainly I know I will return someday, my instincts is strongly telling me that and it can never be wrong
I managed to put on my clothes as I kept yelling because of the pains I’m going through as my cloth touches my wounds. I felt like my flesh is peeling out of my body.
I kept dragging my legs step by step, slowly but steadily as the proverb “A living dog is better than a deãd lion” came ringing in my head. I let out a dry smile… but who will take care of this half alive dog? I muttered to myself.
I don’t even know the direction I’m walking towards but when I turned back I couldn’t see the wîcked old man’s house in sight any more so I know I must have gone a little far, thank God for the cool night breeze that’s blowing, it really helped too cool my wounds down a bit
I was not afraid of the dark or wh@ťěver will befall me at this dark silent and ungodly hour, to me I felt like I have seen it all, I felt like I fought with the devïl himself and conquered, I felt like if I can survive from that wîcked monstër then I can survive everything
I walked to a junction and decided to take a right turn, I walked a little bit and started hearing sounds of music and noises boozing out from a particular direction, I followed the sound and saw a sign board written club 24/7
maybe they are having a birthday party I said
My intention was to sit by the side and see if I will see anybody that can give me direction to my house, I don’t feel like sitting down so I leaned on one of the cars with my hands and stomach and kept looking around if I can sight any human being around
I guess I eventually drifted off to sleep without knowing because when I woke up, I found myself in a big room, on top of a bed covered with transparent blanket and nãked except for my pãnts that’s still in my waist
My heart skipped into a thousand bits as fear gripped me. How did the old man catch me again and why are my clothes off, oh God please not again! I sobbed silently as I held tightly to the blanket and covered my self well.
What did he do to me this time!?
The last thing I remembered was me slumbering away in dizziness as sleep over powers me on top of a car…. I know very well that I’m a deep sleeper but how did I get here without even knowing.
I gradually looked around the room, it’s quite different from that of the old man, maybe is one of the rooms in the house I thought.
What does he wants from me or does his secret society asked him to bring me for sacrifice?
I was deep in thought when the door swing open and I saw a young boy coming inside with a bag in his hands. I became scared as I withdraw backwards until my back was about touching the wall
Hey, becareful! don’t let your back hit the wall you are going to feel lots of pains. Don’t worry I’m not gonna hurt you okk, he said almost screaming
When he said my back, I remembered the whip from the old man and the bruises at my back and body…. but how come the pains is lesser now? I wondered. I opened my mouth to say something but no words was coming out so I closed it back
Hey, how come you sleeps like a deãd log without even knowing what’s happening around you, gosh! I was damñ scared when i saw you on my car early this morning. Thank God I didn’t drink last night at the club else I don’t know what would have become of you
It’s almost 11am and you’re just waking up, you kept me awake all night because you was running temperature and speaking through your sleep. Always voicing out “Please don’t hurt me” what happened?
I didn’t say a thing, I just kept looking at him still trying to assimilate what he has been saying…. but then he hit his head and said
Common Kingsley, you talks too much!, first thing first.
He walks towards my bed and sat on it, I was scared but couldn’t adjust anymore because of my back
How’s your back, hope it doesn’t hurt that much right?
He asked and I nodded negatively indicating a no
You must be really exhausted maybe that’s why you didn’t notice when I took you inside the car and brought you home early this morning, even when I removed all your clothes and cleaned you up, you wasn’t aware right?
I only widened my eyes in a questionable manner without saying a word
He smiled…. Yes I know that look, trust me, I didn’t do anything bad to you because I was more concerned about your wounds plus you was running temperature badly. You really scared the shît outta me younno
I let out a breath of relief on hearing that
I’m a doctor so I know the right things to apply to you and I’m glad they worked to an extent.
You must be hungry right? he asked
I nodded in affirmation
The only thing I knows how to prepare is noodles and tea, so I will prepare that for you so that you will eat and take some drugs but first you have to take your bath. Can you bath your self or should I bath you?
He said looking directly into my eyes. I quickly looked away from him
I’m just concerned that’s all, take this, it’s a foam you will use it to bath, gently scrub it in the surface of your wound ok.When you’re done bathing, change into this cloth because I disposed your old clothes
My parents will be back from church in the next 3hours, then I will take you to their house. Meanwhile, lemme go and prepare noodles for you he said and exit the room.
I don’t know if I should trust this stranger or not, I contemplated within me as I fumbles with the soft bath foam he gave to me.
