Chapter 4 - THE AWAKENING

The Exotic cars of Mr Mike Mako and his rich friends swarmed his compounds. It was his 42nd birthday and Annie Mako's 18th birthday too. They took him out since Noon ,most of them half drunk and smelling champagne and 'hols.

Mr Jack Swagger : "After all that meats and drinks, mehn, I still feel hungry yo!"

Mr Mike Mako : "After all that meats and drinks, you still feel hungry? preety sure not for food"

Chief Nonso : "I love the way you think"

Mr Jack Swagger : "Haha , no seriously I am hungry for more meat"

Chief Kennedy : "There is something nasty with the way you said meat, are you sure its the same one I'm thinking?You sure it's meat you are hungry for or something else?" /Winks at Mr Jack Swagger therefore inciting hysterical laughter amongst the group/

Mr Jack Swagger : "Horny bastard, alright alright , you got me" /Puffs some from the Cuban cigar he was holding/ "Jokes aside, anyone know got fresh contacts? I wanna spoil myself at home tonight"

Commissioner Douglass : "Cats or Snakes?"

Mr Jack Swagger : "You know I love both, but I need some quality time with a white snake tonight, I deserve some strong ass whooping" /He notices Mr Mako giving a duh face/ "oooor ..or.." /blows a kiss to Mr Mako/ "are you free baby?" /raises his eyebrows/

Chief Kennedy : /Bursts into laughter/ /Imitates Mako/ "chinchin chaochao chinchin chaocao" /They all burst into laughter/ "Y'all should not vex the Chinese, his supper is waiting for him in the bedroom" /They all burst into laughter again/

Mr Jack Swagger : "and they called me sick"

They were all still laughing so hard when Annie walked out the front door 

Annie : "Good evening sirs, hope you all are enjoying yourselves? Can I get you anything?"

Mr Jack Swagger : "Thank you very much gorgeous , I had a fun day, thanks."

Chief Kennedy : "Happy birthday Ann, hope you are also enjoying yourself?"

Sabinus (Chief Nonso driver) : "Mr Mako, so this is the Annie everyone is always talking about, you have a very beautiful daughter o, wow, God is wonderful, how come you come ugly like this? You sure say na you born am?"

Mr Mako : /Looking infuriated/ My friend will you get out of this place, Mumu man

/The whole gang instataneously burst into laughter/

Chief Nonso : "Pls take care of my friend very well, Doctor said he has high blood pressure, pls help us bring it down"

Annie smiles ,nods and then walks back inside , half limping..

Mr Jack Swagger : "oooou, look at that Ass though"

Chief Kennedy : /Laughing/ "Why is she walking that way? Did you put pepper in her kitty? Are you into weird stuffs"

Mr Jack Swagger : "Looks like she got some serious add whooping"

Mr Mako : /Giggling/ "Seriously, I don't know where you guys get your rumours from? I don't know what you are talking about"

Chief Kennedy : "You forget the walls has ears ..bad Mako! Bad Mako!!"

Mr Mako : "Alrights thats it" /Still Gliggling/ "Y'all shld fuckoff", /Faces Nwosu/ "Drive safely" /Faces Chief Kennedy/ "Use a condom" /Faces Jack Swagger/ "You ..eat a dick!"

Jack Swagger : "With pleasure"

They bumped fists , entered their respective cars and drove away in different directions.

Mr Mike Mako walked into the house perceiving strong scents of burnt food , "Great! She's burnt something again" , he headed straight for the kitchen where he saw her scraping what was left of the rice with tears dripping down her eyes

Mr Mike Mako stood at the door and rested on the frame with his left arm hanging on the steel. He looked at her for several minutes without saying a word

Annie : "I'm so sorry" /bursts into tears/ "I was carried away, I didn't perceive it, I didn't know it was burning. I was…"

Mr Mako walked towards her placing his index fingers on her lips. Annie was breathing hard, she shivered expecting the worst. Mr Mako then moved closer to her with his mouth close to her ears

Mr Mako : "Its your birthday, remember?, so stop twitching" /He ran his around her necks to her shoulder very slowly/ "Mistakes happens hubby, there are mistakes which can be fixed and there are mistakes which can't" /He walked toward the door/ "Leave the pot, dispose the burnt, I bought dinner for us on my way back. Come to the dinning" /He looked at her and smile/ "Don't keep me waiting"

Annie suddenly felt cold even though she is sweating profusely. She dropped the pot and threw the burnt food into the bin and then went to the dinning. Soft jazz was playing from the mp3 player. The lights was set to dim-rainbow and Mr Mako already set the table. "Sit", Mr Mako said. Annie adjusted the chair and sits.

Mr Mako : "Its both our birthday again, so I thought we should have something different. This is Quan cho, Its Japanese, it's a type of sandwich made of pork, fried eggs, nuts and veggies, eat, trust me , you'll like it"

Annie couldn't understand why she suddenly lost her appetite. Was it the fact that she hates fried eggs or because of the extremely weird and suspicious nice act Mr Mako was suddenly pulling. Last time he was this nice was when she was 13 on the night of the 1st time he asked her to strip.

Annie picked up the sandwich and had a bit while Mr Mako looked at her like a chef in a competition awaiting the reviews of the judges

Mr Mako : "Soooo, how is it? Do you like it?"

Anna Nodded

Mr Mako : "Come on, have some more, It's really nutritious" /He opened the wine and pour some into her glass/ "Have a drink"

Annie : /Collects the glass and perceived it/ "Pine flavoured?"

Mr Mako : I know, right?! /Grins/

Annie : This is my favourite from The Jinzo collection , Japan

Mr Mako : /Grinning widely/ I know ,right?!

Annie had some more, "Thanks", she said. He smiled , then stretched forth his hands, "Wanna Dance?". Annie's heart skipped a beat? "Um ..i'm really..."

Mr Mako : "Come on, dont be so such a kill joy, you don't wanna waste this soft jazz , do ya?"

Mr Mako dragged her by the arm ,pulling her up. He hugged her tight and they both swayed to the rhythm. For a moment she felt so safe and so she started smilling to herself. "Well, totally not what i was expecting today ... this is nice ..happy birthday to me", she thought to herself. Annie felt Mako hands run through her hair, down to her neck, down to her lower back. At this moment Annie started feeling dizzy. She pushed herself backwards and fell to the chair. "You alright?", Mr Mako asked and then returned back to his position on the other end of the dinning table and kept on eating his Quan cho. Annie said something so incoherent and laid her head on the table, half asleep.

Mr Mako gigled, stood up and walked towards her. He lifted her gently and headed for the bedroom. Though Annie had apparently passed out, she somehow was still conscious of her environ.

"Oh no not again, but why did he have to drug me this time", Annie thought to herself, Like someone trying to breakfree from a sleep paralysis, she squeezed her face so hard, clenched her fist and stood up.

Mr Mako was shocked , "What the…", he muttered

Annie : "What did you slip in my drink?"

Mr Mako : "Annie, sit down there!"

Annie : "Dad , why why are you doing this to me"

Mr Mako stormed towards "Bitch , don't call me that", he pushed her slightly back to bed. She staggered backwards and fell on the bed, hitting her head on the wooden edge of the bed, She screamed sharply out of pain, Mr Mako felt something push him backwards but he didn't see anything. He tried storming towards her again but this time he felt a sharp punch on his left jaw. He stumbled and fell to the floor. Annie, seeing what had just happened, was confused but she was still processing the pain at the back of her head. She suddenly starts feeling angry and couldn't understand why she was running out of breath. She thinks she might be having a panic attack. She started freaking out the more when she noticed the room was getting darker. There was a bright bulb but it was glitching and her vision was getting blurry and darker by the moment. Annie hyper-ventillated and fainted.

Mr Mako saw Annie fall to the floor. He stood up and walked towards her. She was still breathing. "The bitch has passed out finally", He said to himself and chuckled, he carried her and laid her on the bed. He turned back, still laughing, "They don't make them like they use to, in the 90's, that shjt works in two minute, looks like amma call customer care tomorrow" , he was unhooking his belt when he heard the sheets moving. He turned back.

Annie was pale white and her short hair was growing visibly so fast, so was her nails. Mr Mike Mako eyes widened, "WHAT THE …."

Annie stood up on the bed like an air filled ballon, she rested on the wall, her eyes still closed, her head bowed and she was breathing fast again. Like magic, An extra pair of arms protruded from her back, Like touching a snail,the arms shrinked a lil bit and folded itself with Annie's arms. Suddenly her eyes opened and glowed white for a moment, She looked at him with a maniac evil smile then she shrieked. The sound waves was so strong, it shattered the mirror and Mr Mako's ear drum, Mr Mako felt something push him again and so he staggered backwards. He couldn't see any other thing apart from the strange creature at the other end of the room.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU.. YOU KILLED YOUR MOM AT CHILDBIRTH NOW YOU WANT TO K…."

He couldn't finish the sentence, when he felt a sharp pain on his neck and he saw the world rotating. Now he felt so close to the ground, the room was tilted. He saw some splash of blood on the wall and he saw the most horrid sight, he saw himself in his own pyjamas which was dripping with blood. His body has no head. Mr Mako was so frightened, he couldn't understand why he couldn't talk or move either. 

Annie walked close to the headless body which was still standing and kicked it. GRAGSHT! ,It fell loudly on the glass table, shattering it. She laughed maniacally and staggered towards Mr Makos head and picked it up with her Alien hands. "Now, not so tough, are ya? Really wish momma was here to see it''. She plucked his left eye , sniffed it, tasted it, "This child fvcker even tastes good in death". She threw it into the air and caught it with her mouth. "See you in hell", she said then screamed again at the head, creating an enormous shock wave which released a dark energy pulling out the skin away from the head. "Mike Mako, check!, On to the next". She screams again even louder than the previous, creating a SONIC BOOM which shook the ground, collapsing the whole building down to its foundation. In the midst of the whole smoke and rumble, Annie Mako was nowhere to be found.
