The party was already in full swing when they arrive. The door to kendra's house opens and they were swallowed up by the hundreds of people in the room and the rythm of the afro and amapiano beats welled around them.
Samuel started wondering what to do in this party when his eyes fell on the playstation which some guys were gathering around playing a race game, which he had completed every single level back at home.
"So Sammie, what do you want us to do now, cause it seems like Tolu and your cuz already figured out theirs". Jessica said with a nod of her head towards where segun and tolu we're killing it on the dance floor, laughing together.
"Wait, what?". Samuel said as he saw them, how did they get over there that fast, well that was none of his business anyways, first thing first he had to let Jessica know that there are no we in what he wants to do it's just him, that PlayStation and the guys over there he is going to win against.
"Uhm, actually I don't think you will be able to do what I want to do". He decided start soft instead of blowing her off as quickly as possible as his brain was telling him to.
"And what's that?" She asked smiling. Atleast she had gotten him to speak to her instead of just the good evening he had giving her when she showed up at there house.
"Cause my idea of fun might not be appealing to you. Cause....you know.....you might find it a bit to rough to your liking". Samuel said after racking his brain for a few seconds.
"Try me" Jessica said as she already knew what he meant, she was even about to suggest that earlier but she had wanted him to ask her instead.
"Really?" Samuel said then they both headed in the direction of the play station.
***************
The three men in black hoodies with black and red beads around there neck kept towards the house making sure to stay in the shadows avoiding the party lights that shifts from time to time to the muffled rythm of the beats playing.
"So how do we get her out of there without people noticing us". The shortest of the three men asked the other one who seemed to be there leader.
The leader took out a ring from his bag followed by a little statue of osun the Yoruba goddess of purity and water she is one of the most powerful daities and ranking second in the dynasty of gods created 5000 years ago to allow gods come down to earth in there human vessel since there God form will burn or melt everything they touch.
"The master said she would respond to the voice of osun so all we have to do is make the connect between her and this stature and we can speak to her through her and since she hasn't turned 18 yet, the dynasty is still asleep in her". The leader said."now shut up and let me work".
He placed the ring on the head of the statue and started chanting in Yoruba making the two men behind him to be shifting nervously. He then listed his face up with only the white of his eyes showing and then started chanting again. "Come to me, come to me".
***************
'wow she is killing it's. Samuel thought to himself as he watched her dodged some obstacls as her car raced to the finish line, who would have thought girls could be this excited about a race game.
"I won!". Jessica screamed finished in first position throwing the console on the table and jumping up to do a victory dance.
Mike smiled down at her then caught himself and frowned he can't believe he had started falling for a girl he hadn't even noticed in class.
"Well technically I let you win". He said in an I don't care tone.
"No you didn't I won fare and square, you are just being jea...." Jessica stopped in mid sentence and held her head as a sharp ringing began sounding in her ears.
"Are you ok Jess?" Samuel asked with concern etched on his face.
"Yeah am fine just a slight head ache" Jessica said. Just then she started hearing a voice faint at first then it got louder. It was the voice of a lady soft and sweet , she felt like she knows the voice but couldn't place it with a face, and it seemed to be coming from outside. "Can you hear that?"
" Hear kini?"(kini means what in Yoruba.) Samuel asked confused.
"I will be right back". she said and ran
outside.
That voice sound so familiar like she had known the person all her life she was so deep in her thoughts that the next thing she knows she was in front of three people wearing black hoods to cover there faces.
*****************
That's weird Samuel thought as he watched Jessica disappear into the darkness and he was tempted to go back to playing his game but the look on her face before she left had him worried and morever what would his mom say if she heard that he saw someone in pain and instead of inquiring he decided to look the other way and morever he was starting to care about her, her personality was interesting.
Just as he was about heading out the person he had been avoiding all night appeard in front of him from nowhere like an agent of distraction.
"Hey Kendra, wassup". He said with a forced smile. "Happy birthday."
"Seems like you have been avoiding me lately". Kendra as she stepped closer to him and looked him right in the eye.
'i have always been avoiding you'. Samuel said inwardly. She is making it sound as if they had been together before. "Na, it's not like that o".Samuel said avoiding her eyes as she try to make eye contact with him.
"It's like how, and where are you headed to in such a hurry." Kendra asked. "I saw you and Jessica earlier and she just left and you are about leaving to ? Do you guys have something going on here?" She asked in jealousy.
"Yeah we do we have been together for a while now". He said hoping to get her of his back, just then his phone rang. "Excuse me." He said and went out closing noise with the door. He was surprised to see Jessica number popped up on the screen.
"Sammie pleas help me". Jessica voice across the line with fear in her voice, then there was a loud on the other side of the line as if something hit the ground and he could here struggles in the background without thinking twice Samuel took off in the direction he had seen her take earli.
The next thing he knew he saw Jessica slumped over the shoulder of a man in black hoodie with two other guys on each side of him heading towards a packed van. His blood ran cold at the thought that she was dead.
He charged at the ready to tackle the guy holding her. One of the guys turned back removing his hand from his hoodie pocket and fired a gun . Samuel felt something piercing through his heart before he recognized what the guy was holding as a gun.
"SAM!!!" Jessica screamed as he dropped to the floor with blood rushing out from his chest to pool under his body.
Before Samuel body hit the ground he felt something breaking in his chest. Then all of he sudden he was in what appeard to be some kind of dungeon with chains of fire and lightning tangled all over the place and in the center.......
