"You broke the code! You are ready to dance to the tune of the wrath of Lucifer."
"Please mercy! I didn't know this was coming my lord. Please I can't stand your anger less that of my lord lucifer." Mrs Williams, Felicia's mom pleaded for her life.
"Do you beg and plead for mercy? You should have known that this is darkness and in darkness there is no mercy. You are not knew to the coven! Why do you behave as though you are.
You are required to appear before the cohorts tonight, to present an account for all your misconstrue." The demon lord instructed and left her panting heavily where she slumped on the floor.
"Mom! Mom! Please what's it? I heard you talking to someone. Who were you talking to?" Felicia ran into the sitting room beckoning to know why her mom was acting weird.
Mrs Williams, the mother of Felicia was a witch on assignment to destroy the lives of school children through her programs in schools around communities.
According to the time given to her from the coven, her daughter was just left with two years before she would be properly ordained as a witch in the coven.
Her house contained just her and her daughter Felicia. None was ever allowed to leave in it. Those who forced their way to stay, maybe relatives would eventually be forced to leave on their accord after nights of terrible mares that would leave them hallucinating and having illnesses that would defile medical attention.
Because of this, she was accused by her relatives of witchcraft activities to which she vehemently denied.
At a point, she had even arrested a relative of hers who had accused her of same.
The man was locked up and properly tortured until he vowed never to accuse her of such again.
This made all the hearsayers to mute their mouths and if need be speak only behind close doors.
Beside this, Mrs Williams was seen by many as a generous woman who loved charitable works, not knowing that she was only using the avenue to rob children most especially of their fortunes and have them initiated into her coven.
Her house attendance were only employed on freelance basis except security personnels.
They would come in, deliver whatever that brought them and storm out.
The cleaners came in every Saturday to tidy the entire house and leave upon conclusion.
[The evening of that day]
"Felicia! Felicia!!" She called out to Felicia who came running in from the dining table where she sat eating.
"I will be busy with work in my room. We will talk tomorrow morning.
When you are done, lock up the place and retire to bed early." She told Felicia and turned to her table that was full of files.
There was another room inside her main bedroom which was always locked and kept away from every other person including her daughter.
At 9pm dot, she entered the room and dressed into a weird appearance.
When she was done, she crossed her legs beneath and at once disappeared.
She made her appearance at the entrance into what looked like a small thick forest.
There were lamps lined up on either way down to the main opening. Each of the lambs had a maiden standing by it with a pot containing fresh human flesh.
She walked in and and began strolling the path as other witches also appeared and lined after her.
Each picked a piece of human flesh and chewed delightfully.
At the opening was an altar built with human skulls, black garments, horns, and the names of demons inscripted on them.
All the witches stood into a circular position singing some fetish songs.
It was now time for the head of all the witches to appear. When she did appeared, dark smoke rose from the ground and filled the entire place.
A pot containing the largest portion of flesh was brought before her by Mrs Williams who was her assistance. She picked the portion and chewed it delightfully.
"Shashim!" she called one of the witches "Bring the sacrifice to the altar."
Shashim disappeared at once and appeared in her bedroom where her husband was fast asleep with her own body laying motionless beside him.
"Adekunle! Adekunle!!" she called her husband's name "It is time to go!!!" She shouted and both she and her husband disappeared and appeared in the coven.
Upon seeing her husband, all the witches started laughing weirdly.
The head of witches flinched her hand and his throat was slitted.
Mrs Williams rushed to it with the pot in her hand and collected the blood into it while his remain was taken away to be cut in pieces for their meal.
It was a normal thing to every witche. Others have given up their sons, relatives and even husbands. It was the same way Mrs Williams killed her husband, Mr Williams and offered him as sacrifice to the coven.
Before he died, he was a wealthy man who controlled so many oil stations in the country, those of which Mrs Williams was now sitting over as her properties.
After all the proceedings were made, it was time for the judgement of Mrs Williams to begin, for failing to protect her daughter, Felicia from the humiliation that was brought to the spirit that inhabited her.
"Kuchawambe!" The head of the witches called her. This was the name she was known with in the coven and spirit world. It meant calabash of blood.
She stepped out knowing why she was called upon in such a disrespectful manner.
"Kuchawambe! The demon that inhabited your daughter was resisted and cast back to hell where it won't regain freedom again.
The kingdom of lucifer is at rage with me because of your actions. For this you deserve to be punished. You are left with the choice to go after that boy and destroy him. If you cannot carry out the task, you will be killed at once."
"Great mother of the witches clan, you know that boy is too strong for me. Spirits and demons including our lord lucifer himself is still finding it difficult to subdue him. please... (she cut in)
"Then prepare to die! You have seven days to make up for the demand.
If after seven days you do not succeed, Lucifer will have no use of you.
You must all (she said pointing at all witches) carry out your duty without slacking back.
The head of witches said and disappeared at once.
