Chapter three (continued) I returned home feeling very happy. I prepared dinner of palm nuts or banga soup (got the ingredients from the market when returning from the market). I prepared the food with extra happiness and vigour. Actually banga soup is my best soup so I learnt how to prepare it well. Its the only soup that I can boast I can cook very well. I can cook melon or egusi soup and ogbono soup quiet well. When it comes to Fry's I beat average in preparing jollof rice but a master in frying beans. Well I finished cooking the soup an hour later ( it was ready at about 45 mins but I wanted it to thick up so I left it on fire for another 15 mins). After dropping the soup pot I brought out my equipments to prepare starch that I will use to eat the soup ( na that one sure pass). I prepared the starchbin less than 15 mins. I served myself and covered the remaining ones very well before taking my meal to the dining table. Mom said men don't eat in the kitchen (I be man nah). After eating I went to get my phone from expecting to see at least 5 missed calls from Skylar but to my dismay there was not even one. I was frustrated. Did my gift not reach her. But I trust that gate man nah. He must have given it to her. Or did she throw it away at first sight or what. I don't know what to think at that moment sef. As I was in my confused state my phone beeped to show a message have just came in. I almost throw my phone at the wall when I saw the content of the message. As if mtn knows about my delima and they want to add to it they took that time of all the time to send me message. Idiot network. I slumped into the sofa close by depressed and I didn't know when sleep took over me.... I was with Skylar in a beach looking over the horizon. I took some sand and poured it on her head. She looked at me mouth agape and I just gave her that "you can't do anything about it look". She bent down and took some sand but before she raised her head I was already some distant away from her. I stuck my tongue at her and that did it all. She came after me with so much vemon like someone who is possessed. After running around some minutes with her trying unsuccessfully to catch me I saw she was getting frustrated so I just fell on the ground. She came on top me and started bathing me with sand. When I could not take it again I started to tickle her. I tickle her until she begged me to stop. I turned her over so I was on top of her. There was a moment of tension between us. As our lip were about to meet I heard my ringtone. I looked at her and she told me to pick my call. I was reluctant at first but after she shouted I woke up from my sleep to see 5 missed calls from Skylar. As I was about to call her back I heard a bang at our gate. I went there to meet the shock of my life. TBC. 1 Like |

Susan Pov I was angry with Richard for making the fool out of me this afternoon. I would have accepted it if he had told me he had no money with him than rather behave childishly in trying to evade it. The fact that he evaded the chance of walking with him home is what made me angry the most. He sure don't know how i love that walk with him. The feeling is just so amazing. I loves the way he makes me laugh at his silly jokes. i shuddered at the thought of it. I thought he loves me and even confirmed it when he asked for a date. But i am doubting that too. How can somebody who you love do that to you. I was emotionally broke down by the fact that he could not even at least defend himself when i asked that question. It just proved that he was guilty of the accusation. When i could bear to look at his face without slapping i ran off crying. I so love him God knows and i was sure that he loves me too but i am doubting that right now. I couldn't eat that afternoon because i was so depressed and sad. I have not been i a relationship before and i have not been so drawn to someone before. Even at school i don't have friends not to talk of a male friend. Because of that i was tagged the witch by my classmate but only one person never called me that Richard. I thought i was because of he was afraid of me and the fact that everyone was scared of me because they always called me a witch in low voices or at my back. But i got to as of late that he did that because he loves me and that made me love him more. I slept off after crying of head off and woke up with a slitting headache. I got to the sitting room to meet the gate man coming in with a bunch of flower in his hands. I asked what are they for and he said they were for me and that Richard brought them. I took them from him and asked of Richard but he said he have gone home immediately. I got the feeling of throwing away the flowers immediately but instead i just dismissed the gate man and took them to my room. I dumped them on top my reading table and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. While preparing the food i couldn't help but think about what Richard was doing now. Maybe he was watching films or playing games or sleeping. Mtcheeew that all what boys know how to do perfectly right. Maybe he was Probably cooking like me. He once told me he could cook. Since he was the only child and his mother does not want a househelp because of reasons best known to her he was forced to learn how to cook. His mom is nt always around because she is nurse so she goes to the hospital most times and sometimes in the evening. I would have loved if he was here with me watching me cook and make some funny remark about my cooking skills. He sure have created a throne in my heart. After i finished cooking i decided to go have a look of the flowers Richard bought for me. This guy sure knows how to get me. He just bought a combination of my favourite flowers rose,hibiscus,morning glory, sun flower and a blue rose. I was astounished that he could go extra mile just to please me. The flowers will cost nothing less than N3000 which i thought was wierd because a guy who could dodged a date because of lack of money could buy a flower worth N3000 in less than two hours. As a was about to put the flower back to the place something like a note fell from it. I took it up and it reads " i am sorry about the date. I was so busy about some shits that i didn't remembered that today was suppose to be our date. Please am sorry. I promise to take you on the date on Sunday. I love you. bye. Richard confessing his love for me. This is just Great. I could not contain the joy in me that moment. i was overflowed with joy. I took my phone to call him but the fifth ring he didnt picked i carefully did myself the good of going to his place. I told the gate man that i was going out to Richard place and that i might spend the night there. He just smiled and lock the gate after i left. Richard house was in the next street so walked there. On getting to the end of my street i had this feeling that am been followed but it just shrugged it off. But when i saw the shadow of a man walking close to me nodby told me i just took off my shoes before running straight to Richard house. I banged the gate and he came to open the gate with a sleepy, worried and suprised face. TBC. My birthday counting two days from now. @ 11 - 01 - 19 1 Like |

*****CHAPTER 4******* ******THE STALKER****** Richard's POV i was suprised, worried and scared. Suprised because i never expected to see Skylar at my door at that time again. I have already concluded that she did not want to see me again and was even planning how to send another letter and maybe with flowers to her before i slept off. Worried because of how she was panting which means she was running and i could not phathom why she was running was what made me more worried. The way she rushed inside after i have open the gate added to my worry. I looked outside to see the reason why she was running but i saw nothing. I was scared that it might be that she was been pursued and the realization that her pursuer might be out there now made me close the gate very fast. I some how felt that this run was connected to the stalker. I asked why she was running but she just looked at me and went inside the house. I followed her in asking questions all the way but she behave as if she didnt hear me and just walked straight to the refrigerator and took a bottle of water after which she asked for a glass cup. Then it was dawn to me that she must be tasty and i became ashamed of my coriusity I went to get the glass cup which i gave to her and after she drank her fill i took it from her and apologised profusely for my mistake. I came back and she told me that after reading my letter she decided to come over my place but on the way she held hurried footstep following her but when she could not find anybody she just shrugged it of. but after some time she was a shadow of a man just above her so ran with all her might all the way here. That just made my observation right i said in my mind or so i thought only to here Skylar which observation. I told her that we were been followed right from school that why i forgot the date. I was to busy trying to know who is following us to remember we had a date. She was scared after i said that but i told her not to worry that i will get the person. I just need to plan the right right plan and volia we catch the stalker. Susan's POV Richard didn't wait for me to catch my breath before bombarding me with questions. I just ingnored his question and went inside to get chilled water from the refrigerator. As Richard saw the water in my hands he became sorry for not even giving me a cup of water before bombarding me with his questions. I asked for a glass cup which he brought to me with sorry eyes. After i finished drinking the water he apologised to me and i just laugh it off. I told him what happened on my way here and some how i expected him to laugh at me but he just said that makes my observations right in a muttered speech which made me believed he never wanted me to hear that but nonetheless i have heard it so i asked which observation. He said we were been followed right from school and that was why he didn't remember the date. I was shocked and scared. Our lives are in danger and i was hthere thinking about a fucking date. What if had went to the date and something bad happened to Richard (because i know it was him they are after not me) i wpoul never had forgiven myself. He saw my worried face and told me not to worry that he has a plan. How can he tame a stalker by himself is what i don;t understand. His courage this days is very much high and it has been like that since he beat Jake. I wanted to call the cops but he stopped me saying it will make his plan futile as the stalker nwill get to know the cops are involved and will hide himself. I don't know what to say so i just nodded in agreement. I was hungry so i asked for something to eat and he went to the kitchen to bring me food. I opened the food to see my dad favourite soup and starch to follow. I ate it with so much passion because i knew Richard prepared it. The food tasted delicious and i must say Richard is good at the food. As i was eating Richard mom called that she will not be home that night because of a patient she was attending to. The patient was undergoing cs and the case is critical so she has to be there. I saw Richard's face frown but he could not anything to change the fact that his mom will not be home that night. After i finished eating and was about to leave i saw Richard face change to a frown. In as much as i wanted to stay i couldn't because my mom won't tolurate it. I knew he will be lonely after i left so i suggested he followed me home to which he agreed. He took his night wear and locked all the doors and the gate. We set off to my home but along the line something happened to which i wished we had stayed at Richard's place. TBC what do you think happened your comment will do us good. 1 Like |

***Chapter 4 (continued) ***** Richard's POV I got ready to go Skylar house. Even though I am powerful I can't afford to sleep in the house all alone. I don't know how to control my power yet so I can't afford to fight with supernatural beings. I was able to lock my sensitive ears to be normal ones. I can't afford to be quiet to nonsense. Why will I be hearing moans from the next house and still have the ability to control myself. I told my mom about it and she just laugh at me telling me to control my powers. She was true powers don't control real men but they control powers. I thought of the possible way to stop it. I tried speaking to it but I did not work. I almost gave up but somehow I got the answer. I focused myself to my powers and I just began to see them like a long list. What was inside the list I won't tell you but you will know as the story goes on. I scrolled down and saw something like ears and just clicked at it. I heard my name been called so I got distracted. I opened my eyes to see my mother surprised and shocked. She said what happened and I just told her what was going on before she emerge and spoilt everything. She said I was glowing few moments ago and my eyes we're glowing sky blue. (Let forget about that and come back to the story). I got ready and we left for her place. We got to a spot and Skylar told me this was were she saw the shadow. Something was off about this place but I couldn't place a hand on it. We continued walking but we stop when heard the rustling of leaves close to us. I look around but couldn't find anybody. I looked at Skylar and saw fear in her eyes. I was scared too but didn't shoe it. I don't know what is after me. As we we're about to take a step forward we got surrounded by 8 guys putting on black. Jake's OV I need my revenge quickly and fastly. Time is not by my side. The suspension is almost over and I got no reason not to go to school. My parent won't even let me be at home. They were furious when they lent about my suspension and even stop giving me money and food for the first one week of my stay at home. That the more reason he must pay. One one dare us and go free. Even if he took down all of is at the school don't mean he has the ability to beat us again. We will carry our guns so that if I've tries any nonsense we will just gun him down. He is even dating my crush. Somebody tell me why will I not kill. I sent one if my boys to be monitoring him and he had been very productive. He had just given us the information that we needed. Skylar was in his place which means he will have to exscort 1 Like |

continued That means he has to accompany her home. quiet funny how he just walked into my trap quiet easily. Lol am going to have his bragging tongue for dessert this night. Richards POV As we walked through the extreme part of my street I started to have this feeling that we were been followed. I shrugged off the thought. We were about to take a left turn to Skylar's street when we saw him coming out of the bush around. I have had the thought that it was him that was stalking us but I shrugged it off. But here he was pointing a gun at me with a smirk in his face that I want to smack off. Well my weaken point is here so there absolutely nothing I can do with her by my side. I just don't want her to get hurt and she can't know my secret powers not yet. Skylar's POV I was shocked when I saw him. I thought maybe he had forgotten the matter after a week of not hearing from him. But he played smart by waiting for sometime before launching an attack. So intelligent of him I must say. I was scared because he had a gun in his hands pointing at us. We are venerable to his attacks as we had no weapon for fight. He had caught us unaware. I look at Richard but his face was expressionless and he showed no atom of fear. I wondered was gave him courage to stand before a man with a gun with absolutely no weapon. As I was still thinking I held something I didn't understand at the first place but when my brain process it I became too shocked to speak a word. Jake's POV I am angry at this guy's calmness. I wanted to blow off his brain right there but for some reasons I couldn't. I want him to suffer until he will beg for death before I kill him. I didn't want Skylar in any of this but she brought doom upon herself. I turn to her and I saw that she was scared even though she was trying to conceal it. Quiet funny to see her that way. I turned to the fool ones again and he was still expressionless. I was about to speak when he said something I did expect from him but it came in a way I did not expect it. It was more of a command than that of a plea. Richard's POV I told him to let Skylar GI her way as it was me and him who had scores to deal with. He look a me with a priceless face that almost made me laugh. I would had been laughing out my lungs if not for the situation we ar into at the moment. He finally spoke up after some seconds and what he said sounded stupid and right at the same time. Stupid as I didn't expect that and right as it was technically correct. He said that if he let her go she will call the police and that was doom for him as his parent will skinned him alive. Well am done with all this talking time for the action. I am very prepared now to do anything so as to get past here even if it means me using my powers too then I think I will do it. I can't risk Skylar's life. I told him that I was ready for action then he clapped his hands and the leaves began to move. More guys with funs appeared from the bush. This is going to be mor fun than I thought. Make ona just manage this small update. I go continue tomorrow. 1 Like |

Jake's POV Thus guy is getting on my nerves with his calmness. I was expecting him to show fear when he see me but even with a gun pointed at him he still remains calmed. I called for my back up and they all came out of their hiding place. They were about 12 in number and they definitely going to put some fear in the heart of this bastard that think he is James bond. I looked just in time to see him smile at the number of guys I came. Then I heard him muttered this is going to be more fun than I thought. I was fazed by his word but quickly hide my emotions as I wondered what gave him confident even with 12 guys surrounding him all with weapon. I will love to see were his confidence will lead him to. Skylar's POV I heard Jake clapped and guys came out of every angle and surrounded us. They were 12 in number including Jake. I became visibly scared as they were holding weapons ranging from cutlass, battle axe and gun. Then I heard Richard speak the most crazy joke of the century. He said ''this is going to be more fun than I thought''. This boy got guts I must say. Standing in the middle of 12 guys all armed and u unarmed saying it was fun is the most crazy thing I have heard. I love Richard and if any thing happens to him I might not be able to bear it. I gotta wake him up from his sleep. I called to him and he just looked at me and smiled. I told me it was OK that I should not worry. I am confused to my elastic limit. The kid with the lowest self esteem all of a sudden became for confident that 12 guys armed cannot make him scared. Something is not right with this boy. He must be high on something. But he looked alright on our way and even at his house not until we saw this guys that he began behaves funny. I wanted to beg him to put down this new attitude of him when I heard a bang. I heard Richard scream my name and I went numb. Jake's POV I saw fear I'm the eyes off his gf Skylar. I had a idea. I was wicked but if that can make him fear then I have no option than to do it. Am sorry Skylar. Bang I shoot her. I heard Richard scream her name and he caught before she landed on the ground. I was smiling inwardly for work well done when I heard the most creepy voice I have ever heard. Richards POV I showed no fear as I calculated every move made by them. I saw fear in the eyes of Skylar as she was looking at me after my speech which was suppose to be spoken in my mind but some how it came out of my mouth. I was glad it came out as I saw some atoms of fear in Jakes eyes. I was still calculating their move. I noticed that they have not made any move for me since they came out which means that they are waiting for Jake order. I was still thinking if I should attack first when I heard a bang. At first I thought the bullet was for me so I didn't bother as I was unkillable. But when I saw were the bullet was headed I became panicked. I quickly jumped into the incoming bullet but I was a little bit late as it the bullet had effect on her too. She fainted instantly but she gat no injury. I became very angry. I wolves half too became very angry and I spoke through me. "what have u done" it said in the most creepy voice I have ever heard. I got up from the ground and faced the guys. They were all afraid as my eyes were glowing sky blue now. Some were about to run but I ran past them and blocked the road. With a swift move I finish them all remaining only Jake and I. I saw shock written all over his eyes. I had wanted to kill him right there but my vampire part would not let me do it saying I will need him later so I told him to stand up. I gave him a slap that sent him to the floor. I asked why he still came after me. And he said that he only wanted revenge. I looked at him and just told him that he should leave my sight and if any one hears about this matter then he should consider himself a dead man. He nodded in affirmative and I helped him up and told him to leave before I do something stupid. He asked what he was going to do about the bodies. I told him not to worry that the police will take it as a clash between cultist. He nodded and ran off. I took Skylar in my hands and oof we went to her place. I place her on her bed and went to get cold water and towel to cool her temperature. After some 30 mins she woke up all shocked up.
