I stood there frozen in
the front of the open cupboard staring at three skulls soaked in a reddish
liquid that I had no doubt was blood, three red candles that looked like they
had been burning recently and what was no doubt several fetish objects. My heart
was pounding out of my head, my breathing was shallow and I suddenly developed
a sense of claustrophobia. I ran out of into Odun's room and started to
pack my things, adding everything together and coming to the conclusion that
Odun had been into occultism that was how he could afford the life he was
living. I had heard of money rituals in movies and regular pop culture, but I
had never set my eyes on anything as gruesome. Good God! How did I not see
this, why didn't it occur to me? I had to get out of the house, I'm in danger
myself. "Where are you going? Babe I wasn't even gone up to two
hours" I turned and realized I hadn't notice Odun come into the room. I
spun around eyes wide open like I had just seen a ghost "Odun… You fucking
liar, what is in that kitchen store?" he looked baffled for a second then
asked "Sade, What store?" "The store with the skulls in it you
fucking liar! Is that what you do? Killing people? That is your major import
and export? Jesus Christ Odun! Did you bring me here to use me too?" he
cringed, eyes wide open then started "Oh my God, Sade, what were you
looking for there? Shit! Shit! Shit! You were not meant to see
that!" his voice had shifted into a full blown panic now. "Sade, you
have to leave Ife now!" I looked up at him surprised at the statement
"Have to leave now? You think I was contemplating staying after what I
just saw? Hell fucking no! but I need an explanation" he cringed again,
totally freaking out now and said "Sade no time to explain, the rule we
were given was anyone outside myself Tolu and Malik who set eyes on the skulls,
had to be killed and used, you have to leave before Tolu or Malik come back..
Fuck! Sade you have killed me"... With that I packed up my bag and stormed
out of the room with a new energy almost breaking into a sprint. He followed
me, closely behind and led me out of the gate, at that point I couldn't even
stand him around me, I quickly flagged down a cab just right outside the gate.
As I entered the cab he leaned by the cab's window and said "I saved your
life Sade, please keep this a secret, I'll always love you", I flinched
and replied with tears rolling down my cheeks, "Fuck you and your Love
Odun! now hear this, don't ever call me, don't text me, don't talk to my
friends, don't send me emails, don't send me gifts, if I even smell your
presence in Unilag, I will make sure you are lynched and beaten to death by a
blood thirsty mob, you are dead to me" with that I ordered the cab man to
drive off as I burst into full scale crying..............To Be Continued
