EPISODE 51; THAT IS MY SURVIVAL STORY
“It was a great war guys… A very great war. A war I fought with everything in me. A war that almost permanently took my life. With tears in my eyes, I watched you all give your tributes. I wanted to be with you all but I was in another realm. While they took me away all I had in my mind was you Snipy. I never knew you meant that much to me until that night I died…,” She paused, exhaled, and cleaned off her tears.
It is still a great surprise to me watching my step mum’s twin speak. I never for once dreamt or imagined that she will ever live again. Like I fucking watched her die, how come? I guess she’s got a lot to say.
She’s taken her bath and also ate cause I know it must’ve been long she ate.
Doctor Frank already left and Mark and Ariana are currently sitting with us now.
We all are sitting watching my step mum’s twin sip her wine while speaking. The shock on everyone’s face was still apparent even though it’s been like an hour now.
Rajveer’s fate hasn’t been decided yet but I don’t think he will survive even if nothing else is done to him. Doctor Frank didn’t want to leave but he had to cause of his patients at the hospital and also cause he declared that he can’t stand watching Rajveer bleed and groan in pain till he dies. I don’t blame him though, he’s a doctor after all, and doctors are meant to be kind, compassionate, humble, and sweet.
“Go on mum. How is it possible that you live? Tell us everything.” Her eyes watered immediately I said mum and she took my hand into hers caressing it.
“Indeed I died but not naturally. The members of my twin’s fraternity killed me out of anger that I destroyed their Queen ‘my sister.”
Linda smashed her hand on the table and her jaw slacked. “That’s pure wickedness…” Her voice was hoarse, her eyes roaming through my step mum’s twin body.
My steps mum twin nodded and cleaned off the tears that streamed down her cheeks. “After killing me they seized me in my soul form and dropped me in the bridge to afterlife, laughed at me, and vanished. Accepting my fate I stepped into the other side but the bridge repelled me and I landed where I initially was.”
“There’s something like afterlife?” Ariana asked staring at her with eyes so wide that for a moment I thought they were about to fall off.
“There is…,” she wavered and took a sip from her wine. “There are so many realms in the spirit world that mortals don’t know and there are also things that can be done in the spirit world that mortals don’t know about.”
“Hmm,” I exhaled. “Go on mum. What happened when you were repelled?”
‘Go back to your body dear one cause it isn’t time for your death yet. You still have so many more years to live. Go back!’ “That was the words a voice said to me and I left. I got to my body and tried entering ignoring the fog but couldn’t. I tried so many times; I tried for days but yet couldn’t. I got so frustrated and tried to go back to the path leading to the bridge to the afterlife but yet couldn’t too.” She wiped off her tears and blew her nose. “I became a roaming ghost.”
My eyes widened. “Roaming ghosts are real?”
She shrugged and for the first time smiled. “I was one so yes they exist.”
“I basically followed you all everywhere. I was everyplace you all were. At a point, I got tired of just following you all about without doing anything so I decided to be useful and do some good things…,” she hesitated. “This is one of the numerous things a ghost can do that isn’t known by mortals. Like a ghost I was I foresaw that you guys will have a problem in locating your main Knight so I went on the investigation. And I successfully got the details.” She took a sip from her wine and smiled but suddenly frowned.
“What’s wrong mum, Why are you frowning?”
“The members of the fraternity found out that I wasn’t taken and that I was doing great in helping you so they created an ambush for me and locked me up in a cage rounded by fire in the deepest part of their temple.”
“I tried to escape but couldn’t. I was locked up for good. I never knew a soul could feel pain Snipy but I did. Seeing that I was of no use to them all they did was torture me in several ways; whip me, put me inside the fire, cut me all over my body, play with my private parts and so many others they did.”
A tear slipped off my eye watching her talk so slowly like if she was feeling the pain all over again. “Go on mum. What happened? How then did you escape?”
“They kept suffering me morning till morning but this time in a more hectic way as if they wanted to kill me even in soul form.”
“On one of the nights they tortured me, I fainted and woke up to see everywhere was decorated. I questioned them on why they were decorating everywhere and they said; ‘once your soul withers by tomorrow night our Queen your twin will rise again but in your body. Your body has been ongoing preservation, fortification, and purification and is now ready to house our Queen.’
“This is crazy. So crazy” Jayden mumbled.
“Crazy? Absolutely. Their words made everything make sense. Why you all couldn’t touch me, why I was covered in that fog, and also why I couldn’t enter my body.”
“When did this happen, mum?”
“That was yesterday night.”
Our eyes widened. “So you were supposed to die today?” We all said at once.
“Yes, I was supposed to die tonight while my twin was supposed to rise tonight. But something happened earlier today.”
“What?” I asked staring at her curiously.
“Your mum Snipy.”
“My mum? How?”
“Your mum kinda saved me. I woke up to her soft call and patting. I already knew who she was so I asked her what she was doing there.”
‘I came to save you’ she had replied. I asked her how she got in since the door to the cage was locked with great power.”
‘I am a ghost of higher rank who has been ascended so I have the power to enter and leave anywhere I want. And also do anything I want.’
We gazed at her with gaping jaws.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
“Yea, I was surprised when she said that too” she laughed. “She took me out of the cage, passed a little portion of her power to me, and vanished. I fought with the members of the fraternity. Destroyed them all and successfully entered my body. Damning them including my twin for life. I know you might have a question about how I got here so quickly. Well, your mum helped me out. She blew air on me and I appeared here. Yes, I didn’t enter through the door, I appeared.”
“THAT IS MY SURVIVAL STORY. NOW, CAN WE GET STARTED ON GETTING OUR KNIGHT?”
