"Mummy please wake up I need you mum your grandchildl needs you
" Jennifer whose voice had faded eyes red like pepper and swollen like she was stung by a bee cried out loud.
"Mummy who else do I have in this world? why would you have to leave me now? mummy please come back to me !"
She wept covering her face on her mother's body.
Smith was trying to console her and take her from mother's body but she glued herself to her mother's body
"Jenny your mum is gone we have to go and attend to Derek"
He said as Derekl was crying in the arms of the nurse holding him
At that very moment Jennifer didn't care about anyone else
"Mummy please wake up mum I can't forgive myself"
Her lips quivered as she wept bitterly Mummy I cannot forgive myself
I brought this on youShe cried
"Oh God I am dreaming mummy please wake up
I beg you mummy in the name of God daddy has left me already now you too want to leave?
She hugged her murns tight.
"Mummy I beg you in the name of Jesus please wake up don't leave me too mummy you're all I've got"
Jennifer lay on the floor of her mother's hospital room
Doctor Stephanie walked back into the room she put her hands gently on Jennifer's shoulder
she was lost if words to console her.
Jenny what can we say? no matter anything that happens in life we have to give thanks to God
She said calmly, but Jenny wasn't listening .
"Oh mummy please come back to me oh mummy ..."
Her voice faded the more her head throbbed with headache.
Two nurse assistants came into the room with a gurney they lifted Mrs Helen's corpse and placed it on the gurney then covered it with a white bedsheet before rolling it into the marbled corridor.
Jennifer got up from the ground
" No! No don't take my mum to the mortuary! please leave my mum here"
She fought to stop the men rolling the body.
Smith Held her back as they rolled the body away.
"Smith I hate you ! " She said enraged
I curse the day I ran into you! you're the reason why my mother is dead
I hope you're happy now as your parents have taken my only surviving family ?
forced herself out of his embrace.
"Am sorry Jenny , but you're not sure of what you're saying?"
he was still in denial he knew his parents might be into some strange stuffs but not killing people and turning to beast
If they were shape shifters he would have known while growing he knew his parents.
"You can defend them all you want but I am going to divorce you
you'll go and marry your mum! " She said as she pushed him away from her.
"Don't ever touch me with those filthy fingers of yours"
She said as she ran towards the nurse who was holding her baby and collected the screaming child who immediately kept quiet.
Smith put his hands on his head as he squatted down his head was spinning and banging with headache
He was in a fuse not knowing what to do.
The Chief mortician wasn't available thenbut his apprentice who was a fresh graduate from the University was on ground he collected Mrs Helen's body and with the help of the nurse assistants placed her corpse in a freezer after tying a tag on her toe with her name and serial number.
He thanked them as they returned with their gurney
he was taking record on his log book copying information from Mrs Helen's death certificate
The pungent odor of antiseptic filled the air it was so strong but it was better of than the smell of human corpses in the freezer
the freezer couldn't stop the smell though it wasn't so strong but he hated the smell of death.
In of one of the cats member's house a party was on already
Ann and her friend appeared in the house and joined the celebration they drank bottles upon bottles of wine.
"What do the elders say Mr Simon?"
Jack who was a bulky Hulk of a man asked a bit drowsy
"That flies that dances near the hot pot of soup will one day become meat for the unsuspecting owner Jack was an African man"
They all roared in laughter.
"Jack I cannot thank you enough watching that woman die made my heart beat for joy she wouldn't let us act freely
imagine her stopping me from taking my own grandson?
was she the one who married my son?
He asked in disbelief.
"I don't know oh Mr Simon some of those church people think they're untouchable now where is she?"
another cat chipped in.
"Lol she's laying dead in the morgue now we're going to strike her daughter when she doesn't expect it"
Ann said and they bursted into laughter again.
" , we need pepper soup or what do you call it in Africa?
you need to askl your chef to get us more drinks now please a celebration party can't be complete, without a pepper soup." Mr Simon said.
"By tomorrow that boy shall follow his granrdmother to the altar o the grand master lord of the forest, god of the sea king of cats and all creeping things"
Mr Simon boasted and took another glass of champagne.
"Mr Simon you shall be the strongest cat shifter in Leeds by tomorrow we shall have the heart of the baby on the holy altar of our grand master." Mr Jack retorted. they all burst into laughter.
"When the great one is done eatings I'll like to eat the head "
Mrs Ann's friend said laughing.
"No you can't eat my grandson's head I am his grandmother I'm going to eat his head I'll allow you eat the toes and fingers." they all laughed .
"See how my son's wife is so frail and weak without her mum, now we would just take her out we would eat her flesh, for making us pass through hard time"
Mr Simon grunted.
"Yes for the bullets to my stomach she must die"
Mrs Ann said as they watched Jennifer cry helplessly in the hospital on their giant flat screen TV.
"Her God didn't come to save her?" Mr Jack teased.
"Let's wait for tomorrow we shall take her and her baby out
if my son stand in the way"
Mr Simon said mumbled, paused and watched the faces of his friends
If he stands in our way we have to kill him too with his family I have no regrets about that.
They all nodded
"Yes Mr Simon anything for the course of the fraternity child or anything for the fraternity and the grand master"
They all sang in unison for that was their motor.
The young mortician was alone in the morgue's registry when he started hearing a rattling sound from the morgue, he kept on doing what he was doing
but the sound continued, he dropped his pen and went into the morgue to check.
He opened the first freezer the man in it was dead cold frozen white like ice fish the second was a young woman who had recently died from a fatal accident.
Then he thought about the new corpse what if she was still alive?
He rushed down to Mrs Helen's freezer he pulled it out and there was Mrs Helen sneezing and coughing.
He was terrified and ran out of the morgue he ran to the security on the corridor leading away from the morgue.
"please go and call Doctor Stephanie tell her there's an emergency in the morgue ."
His heart was beating against his chest he put his hands against his chest as he squatted against the wall he nerve knew the job of mortician came with seeing unbelievable things.
That woman in the mortuary was dead he was the one who checked her before loading her into the freezer how comes she was still alive ?
she was supposed to be frozen after an hour in the freezer.
