Chapter 6 - CHAPTER SIX ( THE WARRIORS OF NIMUEL & CATHRINA)

Nathan and his girlfriend, Penny went on a date in a remote part of Gestfield. It was an abandoned stead Nathan discovered during is schools department of geology excursions to the four corners of Gestfield, so she decided to bring his girlfriend to the place to enjoy the quietness of the vast forest. It was already 11:00pm in the night when the birds have already returned to their nests, the trees and leaves have surrendered the fight of the day to the quiet night. The song in the air was the chirping of the birds and insects alike. The cool breeze blew against Nathan and Penny's body bringing their skins to erection. Penny began to feel as if her skins being scraped off her body from fears of the dead hour. Nathan could feel the fears growing within Penny and tried charing her up. Penny could no longer withstand the horror of the forest, so she instructed Nathan to take her home. He started the car, but as he was about to accelerate, two new cars arrived and started their own parties. Nathan turned to Penny to ask if she still feels they should leave after seeing the new arrivals. She told him to turn off the ignition and they made out in the car. The time as passed and it was 4:00am already, Penny woke Nathan and asked to be taken home, so they left. They were still couple of miles away from home when the two cars that joined them in the forest speed past them. Nathan felt being challenged by the drivers in the two cars and decided to join in the race. Suddenly, he saw the two cars already in flames with no rescue nor survivors. He stopped the car to check what had happened to the two cars, busting into flames mysteriously. The fire raged higher providing more illumination to the surrounding, then Nathan saw the seven warriors of Nimuel on their horses. He had no idea who they were or what they want. Penny started calling out to Nathan, but he was curious to know who the men on the horses were, so he moved closer to them to have a more limpid view. From afar, he could only see the clothes covering on the horses, but has he moved closer, he saw the faces within the coverings resembling nothing of human but of demons. He turned back running towards his car to escape the horror. Penny had first lost him in the darkness of the night, but later saw him running towards her, but why was he running, she had no idea. "Penny, get in the car, get in the car," Nathan kept shouting has he approached the car. He wasn't more than ten meters away when he suddenly busted into flames. He still ran toward the car as he burns, but Penny couldn't wait for him and ran backwards. Nathan could only struggled as far as the side of the car when he could no longer proceed, he dropped to his knees and laid flat on his belly, burning. The car caught the fire burning on Nathan and exploded. Penny had no way out of there and started running. She began to hear an approaching horse steps behind her, she decided to look back to know what's after her, she looked back and lost her head before knowing what's happening.

The seven warriors of Nimuel continued on their mission, leaving behind deaths and horrors in their wake. They head straight to the heart of Gestfield, burning down houses with their inhabitants locked inside. They only operate during the night and varnished before dawn. Many people only thought of them as being a legend or an image deliberate created in an attempt by some criminals to get away with crimes without being investigated nor prosecuted, till they visit their homes and rain down terror on them. They continued their rampage on Gestfield with no one bold enough or strong enough to stop them.

Boma came down her room all set for school, she took her breakfast and was about leaving the room when she remembered she had an issue to discuss with her mom. She paused by the door and her mom wondered what had happened, so she asked, " Honey, why have you stopped, is anything the matter?". "Nothing mom, I have to discuss something with you, if you don't mind?" she inquired. " But won't you miss your bus?" her mom asked. " Don't worry mom, I'll find my way to school," she responded. " Okay honey, what is it?" her mom inquired. " I need to talk to you about someone or something. I learnt his name is Salvatore, he lives in the underworld, but he is trying to come to this world and destroy everything. Everything that had been happening as been because of him. There's a prophecy that i will be responsible for preventing him leaving the underworld to this world and since then, he has been sending his followers, which are mainly demons to get me, " Boma explained." What !!, " her mom shouted." You're saying that man that attacked me the other time and the bees were all demons?" her mom asked." yes they were and there were still more of them, " she responded. Her mom was shocked and scared to the bones. She stood up and looked around, " we need to leave this place now, "she said to her daughter." No mom, nowhere in this whole wide world is safe till Salvatore is defeated, " Boma responded. " I've been marked since birth and have been given some powers to fight him, but there was an army of the dead spreading terror at the moment. All those dead bodies that were being found burnt on the roads and in their houses were not due to gas leaks nor accidents mom, those army were responsible for that and lots more," Boma explained. Her mom gave her a quick embrace," you need to be careful honey, " her mom warned. " I will mom, " Boma assured. Then they heard the door bell rang, it was Jason. "Hi Mrs Cross," Jason greeted. Hello Jason, " she responded. "what are you doing here?" Boma asked. " I'm taking you to school," he responded. Boma turned to her mom, moved very close to her and whispered in her ears. Jason had no idea what she said to her mom, but thought it was about him, so he smiled looking at them both." Mrs Cross!!!" she heard a repeated call of her name, she moved closer to the door and peep through the window blind to confirm if it was really her neighbor, and as predicted, it was her neighbor. She was a black American woman with lots of characters. Mrs Cross came out the door to see her, "hey Mrs Sawyer, what's wrong?" Mrs Cross asked. " There is a car parked outside your house and I remembered that it was here the day the bees came all world war II on us. So, I want to see who parked the car. Tell him to come out here. I want to know if he brought the bees," Mrs Sawyer requested. Boma's mom, Mrs Cross didn't know what to say to Mrs Sawyers new madness." I don't know who parked the car, " She responded." But I saw a young man entering your house just now, " Mrs Sawyer replied. " Are you now placing surveillance on my house, because I don't know what you're getting at," Mrs Cross asked. " You wanna be rude to me because I cared about your family woman, I ain't gonna say shit again, " said Mrs Sawyer." I'd appreciate if you do that, Mrs Sawyer, thank you for caring, but don't need it, " Mrs Cross responded. Mrs Sawyer left in annoyance. Mrs Cross watched as she got into her apartment." You guys need to leave now before that woman comes out again," Mrs Cross said to Boma and Jason. The two ran out of the house into the car and drove off, not knowing that Mrs Sawyer was still looking. Immediately she heard the starting of the engine, she rushed out again," You think you can fool me, I see you boy, wait and prove to me your innocence in the attack by those demonic bees!!. Mrs Sawyer shouted. Jason looked at the mirror and saw Mrs Sawyer walking towards his car, he turned to Boma and laughed. He waited till Mrs Sawyer was just few steps away, then he kicked the acceleration and drove away. Mrs Sawyer despite her age started chasing the car before realizing how childish she's been.

Jason and Boma were on their way to school when the car suddenly stopped around St George's field, four miles away from school. Jason wasn't sure why the car stopped. He checked the gas and turned the ignition, but the car wouldn't start. He alighted from the car, raised the hood to check for any unusual fault, but he couldn't specifically ascertain any of his theories about why the car stopped. He became furious and kicked the tire in hanger with his leg. They stood by the roadside expecting help from passing motorists. After several minutes, they got lifted and dropped off at their school.

It was 8:00pm, the time for the warriors of Nimuel to spread death and terror in the land, they mount their horses under the leadership of Cathrina also on a horse. They stepped onto the road and rode towards the town. When they got to St George's field where Jason's car was parked by the roadside, Cathrina halt the advance of her horse and the warriors of Nimuel supervened. She got down the horse, laid a hand on the hood of Jason's car and it started working. She turned her attention to the street lights and broke them all just by looking at them. The road went dark with just Jason's car providing illumination. She got back on her horse and they continued riding with Jason's car coming behind. All the cars on their path, either manned or unmanned started following them once Jason's car hooted. The streetlights never stopped breaking and once that happened, the cars following the dead witch and the warriors turned on their headlights to light up the streets. The cars with people inside them all threw out their owners and followed the commands of cathrina.

Jason was with her mom inside the house when he suddenly started smiling. His mom was befuddled, wondering what could possibly have placed her son in a state of muse. " A Penny for the account behind your sudden surge in mesmerism," his mom interrupted. He couldn't hold his facial chant of elation, he turned to his mom and said to her, " I am a Bee hummingbird with the smallest body and wings, but now I feel like an ostrich with the strength of a warrior king and the size of wings like an albatross occupying the skies to spread my wings of affection". "Do you care to share with me why your sudden elation had just gotten enveloped with a rhetorical grandiloquence?" her mom asked. Jason smiled again and walked towards the refrigerator, he opened it and brought out a keg of milk, he opened it and wasted no time descending the wrath of his buccal cavity on the keg. His mom spanked him from behind," where are your manners?" his mom asked. Jason dropped the keg and spilled the milk in a cup. " You're saying? " his mom asked. "I'm not saying anything mom," Jason responded. "Don't worry son, I'll find out soon," she said to him. Jason went to sit on the couch, paying attention to the programs being aired on the Television. Jason saw the witch and the warriors on the news, then he saw his supposed broken down car following the witch and the warriors unmanned. What!!!, Jason exclaimed. "What's going on?" his mom asked. "Mom, are you seeing this?" Jason asked in return, focusing on the TV set. His mom moved closer and saw his son's car leading an array of other cars unmanned. She picked up the TV remote control to increase the volume. She heard from the news, " this is the view of what's going on in the south of Gestfield. Some mysterious humans magically controlling people's cars. They are still yet to be identified, but are still being pursued by the police." Did you left your key in the ignition?" Jason's mom asked her son, expecting a response, but nothing came. She looked around, but Jason was already out of sight. Jason! Jason!!, she called out, but no response. Then it dawn on him that Jason already left the house, but she continued watching the news.

Jason boarded taxi to Boma's house. He rung the bell three times before the door was later opened. "Boma have you seen the news?" Jason asked, before he realized it wasn't Boma that opened the door but her mom. "what's happening in the news?" Boma's mom asked Jason. Boma hearing Jason's voice came down from her room to meet him. Jason was yet to answer Lindsey's question about what's in the news, he went straight to their TV set, turned it on and switched the stations till he found the TV stations broadcasting the mysterious event. He turned to Boma's mom pointing to the screen for her to obtain the answer to her question directly from the scene. But she still couldn't understood. She moved closer to pay attention to the details, then he saw the mysterious people on the horses and the fleet of cars on parade. "What's going on, there are no people in those cars and they're moving," Boma's mom commented. She wanted to involve Boma in the bizarre view, only to find her beside her already involved in the viewing. Boma was able to pick out Jason's car from among the fleet of cars." Isn't that your car?" Boma asked." How's that possible?" she added. "yes it is my car, I don't know how they're doing it, but I'm going there to get my car," said Jason. " No you can't do that Jason, it's too dangerous. Since we don't know what they're up to, it would be reckless to confront them," Lindsey cautioned Jason." They're the warriors of Nimuel and the witch,"Boma whispered. Her mom was surprised at what her daughter just whispered," do you know who they are?" she asked Boma." Yes I've been warned about them,"she responded. " I'm sorry to disobey you Mrs Cross, but I have to try and get my car back, "Jason pleaded. He couldn't have completed his defiance of Mrs Cross's advice, when four of the vehicles following the witch ran into four different homes and exploded immediately. Jason saw what just happened on the news and ran out of Boma's house." Mom I have to go with him," Boma said to her mom. She was at first hesitant, but after some persuasions and assurance from her daughter, she agreed to let her go. Boma went out the door and there was Jason waiting and hoping that Boma comes out. Seeing Boma out of the exit gave him some level of relieve. "I thought you'd left already," Boma said to Jason. " I knew you wouldn't bail on me, so I was waiting for you to come out," he responded. The two smiled and boarded taxi, but the taxi was yet to leave the spot when another car ran into them, turning the taxi upside down. Jason and Boma crawled out of the taxi, but the driver was already unconscious after hitting his head on the staring. "What just happened?" Boma asked. Jason turned to the car that ran them off, "are you okay?" he asked, approaching the car. But to his surprise, he found no one in the car and not even a single trace that anyone was inside. Boma moved closer to look into the car but found no one either. They looked at each other and both got into the unmanned car and drove off.

Cathrina already knew Boma was coming, it was the reason she sent a car to ran them off. The warriors of Nimuel all came down their horses, but now facing resistance from the police. " Lay down your arms and surrender, or else we will be forced to fire," the police warned. But they're about to find out that these enemies were not the regular Gestfield criminals. " Stop your advance, or else we'll shoot,"the police threatened again. The warriors neither paid attention to them nor stop their advancement. Then the police started firing at them. All the police knew was the firing of their bullets, but where the bullets went, they had no idea. It was as if they were shooting into a vacuum. The bullets went into the bodies of the warriors without any traces of entrance nor effects on them. The seven warriors roared simultaneously with the pitch of their roar creating cracks on the road. They have been infuriated, the warriors turned into their worst form towards everything life around them. One turned into a shadow turning anyone it went through into durst. The second one turned into fire burning anything on it paths. The third froze anything it touched from inside out. The forth turned to wind and blew away things on it path. The fifth picked up an axe and started collecting the heads of the police. The sixth sucked out the life of anyone it touched, making them hundred years older and dead. The seventh warrior was the power house of the other six warriors. They could only be defeated if their leader, the seventh warrior was defeated. In a couple of minutes, all the police and everyone around were dead, not even the media men covering the event escaped the slaughter.

Boma and Jason only arrived after everyone in the vicinity was dead, not even the people in their homes were spared. Boma was shocked at the extent of the destruction descended upon the innocent souls. The forth warrior came towards Boma and Jason trying to blew them away, but Boma was able to repel the attack with the help of her staff, sending Jason through the windshield of his own car and unconscious. Boma ran towards Jason to help him, but found him unconscious already. She thought he was dead, she stood up in hanger, but before she could comport herself, all the seven warriors already arranged themselves to battle with her, since she's the main target of the mission. The forth warrior blew through her again, this time sending her into a car and to the ground. Cathrina was still on her horse observing what's going on. She stepped off the horse to join the warriors. Boma hurried to her feet and pointed her staff at the warriors, sending them through the houses and cars around with Cathrina. They all stood up and arranged again. Cathrina sent a ball of fire at Boma, but was repelled by her staff. Six of the seven angels advanced towards her, leaving behind the seventh. Boma tried to withdrew, but the warriors attacked her at the same time. She hit the base of her staff on the ground creating a kind of force field around her to repell the attack from the six warriors. Cathrina realized that the strength of the warriors wouldn't subdue Boma, so she joined them in the attack with the seventh warrior. This time, Boma is getting tired of holding off the attack, she went to the ground and her heart stopped. They made sure she's no longer breathing, so they went back on their horses. They felt a bright light behind and saw Boma back on her feet. Suddenly she's in their midst. She touched Cathrina's horse and it began to sunk into the ground, till she was completely swallowed into the ground with her horse. Boma turned her staff into a mirror and placed it before the seventh warrior, then the warrior began to dissipate with the other six warriors till they all varnished. Boma fell to the ground the same time Jason regained consciousness. He was looking at Boma on the floor, then he saw are cat lay beside her, then suddenly they both disappeared. Jason went back into his car and turned the ignition, fortunately for him the engine started. Jason then drove home all by himself, being the only ordinary man to witness and survive the night.
