At the age of 19 I and my friends spotted something at Mrs Nova’s house around 2:30 am. We were from the groove, drunk. As we were about to pass her house we saw 3 short people walking from one corner of the yard to the next.

Suddenly we heard a huge thunder storm, it bested 3 times before the actually lightning strike and lightning the whole village. As it lighted up the 3 short people saw us and they ran after us. We all got sober same time, we ran faster than we ever had before. We went back where we came from cause we were too scared to go back home. There are only two routes home and the safe one is the one passing at Mrs Nova. We stayed there the whole night until around 7am.

After sunrise we went back home and on our way we came across Mrs Nova. She gave us a look that I’ll never forget even if I was about to receive salvation. But on that day it was a Sunday not a pension day. I and my friends asked ourselves a lot of questions cause that woman doesn’t come out at all except pension day.

That very night while sleeping I heard a voice of a woman saying what I saw last night should be my secret until the end of my life. I got scared and texted my friends only to find out they heard the voice too.

We didn’t know that it was the beginning of our lives to be ruined. I started failing at varsity until I quit. I went job hunting but no luck. Our lives stopped completely. But it was strange that every night all 3 of us will wake up the next day tired or our Virginias being painful. It started by quitting school, then failing to get a job then losing interest in men after started waking up feeling tired or dreaming being at work, not normal work but cleaning someone’s house, sweeping the yard. Even my friends felt the same way.

Mama would start telling me how useless I am. I was a very religious person before but that time I hated praying nor seeing the Bible or going to church on Sundays. I actually or should I say we turned into rebellions. We disagreed with everything quoted in the Bible.

One night I heard a dream of me inside Mrs Nova’s hut and we were mixing something but before I could see the outcomes of what we were mixing I heard a thunderstorm, it was so powerful, then a lot of wind blew, it got more windy then there was lightening, it lighted the whole village again, it was like it’s day light then I heard a woman laughed, a wicked laugh, that evil laugh.

I woke up immediately but something was fishy, when I woke up, I saw a shadow jumping off my bed as I always turn my light off when I sleep, and my bedding was wet. I quickly turned turned on the light to see what’s happening and I was alone.

I thought maybe I want to see my periods after the wet bed. The next day I kept on convincing myself that it was all a bad dream. I asked Amahle about the incident and she was surprised how did I know what happened to her last night.

Things got worse after seeing that shadow. I will go to bed wearing clothes and waking up naked. Sometimes I will find myself sleeping on the floor. I knew it was about time I find out the truth.

I started by telling mama the whole truth and she was shocked to hear what I’ve went through at my early 20s. We called Amahle and Cindy so we could find a way out of this. Mrs Nova seemed to hear and see our every move cause late that while mama was sleeping on the couch, I wanted to kill her but dad got inside the house in time. He stopped me and took the knife away from my hands.

Dad woke mom up and told her what happened. I was so scared of myself and everything that has been happening. What surprised me was during the day we won’t see Mrs Nova anywhere but at night we meet with her in our dreams. The next day after trying to stab mom with the knife I went to sit at a tree next to Mrs Nova’s house. I just went there for my own peace of mind but unfortunately things didn’t end like that. It was about 3 hours after been there when I saw a big snake moving from the hut to the main house, followed by Mrs Nova.

It was a 30 seconds thing cause the snake has a long tail about 5m. I immediately stood from there ran back home, luckily I found mom sitting on the couch. I ran to her terrified and shaking, she asked me what’s wrong, I couldn’t talk that time. I kept on stuttering and speaking in riddles. Mom couldn’t pick up a word from what I was saying.

Later that day around 7 a prophet came to our house, mom called her. It seemed like mom have told her everything cause she came prepared. After entering the house she instructed mom to show her my room since I was there. On her arrival as she opened the door to enter she immediately stood still as she was electrocuted.

Then she started talking with someone invisible. It was like there was something heavy and strong in the room cause the prophet kept on saying “what are you doing here? Who are you? Who send you here? Answer me!!” and she was looking straight up my curtains showing what ever it is, is at the Window.

Suddenly the prophet was being choked cause her both hands were in her neck trying to rescue herself and shouting “let go of me”. Me and mom came forward to her, trying to see what’s Going on. She managed to fight it off, stood up, ran to the dining room where she left her stuff, came back with some holy stick and few bottles of liquid. She started hitting the walls with the stick, telling us to move away. Then took the bottle of liquid and sprinkle it all over the room but mostly on the floor. I guessed that is where the beaten creature was laying. The prophet said that this is only the beginning of fixing this and the thing will come back for revenge.
