Standing in front of my saviour,a young man like me. I had just realized I spoke to him in an unruly manner.
"Sorry!,"I said "I'm really sorry for my impertinence."
" No worries!," He said, smiling back.
Judging by his countenance he was a willful person. Well,I had this rare gift to judge a person based on their reactions, facial expressions, and look.
For Erico; he was a cheerful, funny, passionate person. His countenance gave vibes like peaceful, credible, trustworthy, truthful,honest and especially passionate.
I stared at him for some seconds analysing every aspect his body. From his lovely black hair to his round face,his pointy nose and beautiful eyes.
Though he was wearing a shirt his abs were still visible, they were huge.
His breasts shot out nicely, and his biceps were huge. He was every girls dream.The silence in the room was strange,I turned around and saw that Banchy was shaking crazily and Mr Reginald was holding her while Wright and his girlfriend were nowhere to be found.
" What do I say?,what do I do?" I thought silently.
"Do we plan on leaving here soon?" Erico said.
I turned around giving him a nod.
"Ok let's go" Mr Reginald said "The van is outside we'll use it to get out of here."
We moved out the door, Erico leading the way. He held the door open,as I walked out the door.
Banchy walked out the door looking scared as ever, Mr Reginald held her tight making sure she didn't trip.
Erico looked around the house like something was wrong. More like he was looking for something. His cheerful gaze suddenly became keen, like an eagle looking for it's lost prey. Something was definitely wrong,I could feel it in my bones. The chills grew stronger, goosebumps popped from nowhere,it wasn't the night breeze,it was something else
Well I haven't told anyone yet but I have a rare ability to sense danger before its arrival. I called it 'di'
Danger intuition. it was like my super power.
It manifest in three ways; first the thought. I suddenly feel everything isn't right, I feel restless and my gaze is fixed on a particular position, the same position the danger emerges from.
Secondly, goose bumps and spine chills.
And the last,black throat syndrome,this only happens when the the danger is grave like the time the villagers poisoned our water.
That day,we went to crescent Bakery to visit Tom. Me, Banchy and dad. On returning the first manifestation kicked in. My gaze was fixed on the tap,I stood in the toilet for five to nine minutes staring at the tap, I tried hard to look away but I couldn't,so I closed my eyes and walked away, I thought something was wrong, I couldn't help the fact so I ignored it.
Eventually it stopped. Then the next manifestation kicked in for close to an hour, at that time I was reading a novel, you know my genre so let's kick away that detail.
I decided to go the kitchen and have a glass of water, dad was also in the kitchen making a smoothie.
Banchy had gone home by then.
Dad was about to drink his smoothie when the syndrome kicked in. Well I was holding a glass wanting to get water.
My throat became bitter, I felt likeI drank the ash of a dead body. I held my neck making a weird sound and trying to cough out the ash.
Dad saw my behavior and came running,all of a sudden my gaze was fixed on the glass. I couldn't move my eye balls,they were stuck and my throat became more bitter,the sound increased and I coughed harder.
More than anything, my dad trusted my instincts,even more than me the owner of the instincts. He went to the smoothie which he had left on the table, examined it looked at me.
" The water",he said "They poisoned it didn't they?"
The syndrome stopped immediately, how he knew I have no idea but he said something about my mom being this way and my intuition was genetic. As dumb as I was I never asked about the matter ever. Why?,I was eager to return to my book.
And today I have the syndrome.
" The van is gone!" Banchy said
I looked in her direction and my eyes suddenly stuck there.
Oh no it's coming I thought
" Those assholes, Wright and Smith they took the van" Mr Reginald screamed.
"Let's run toward them I can still hear the van, they haven't gone far" Erico said.
We ran towards the road panting as ever, my throat became more bitter, and my gaze fixed on the road.
As at now, we could see the van, loud music playing. Those bastards !.
We stopped for a second, looking back we had ran about six hundred metres.
"Let's go on !" We can still catch up to them." Mr Reginald said.
My throat became more bitter,ash bitter. I looked at Erico who was watching me, he had the same feeling, the same at the house.
I stared at his eyes trying to comprehend his thoughts,all I saw was energy.
Crap!,how could I be so stupid ?, Luna. It was Luna.
The village was filled with it, but there was one Luna in comparison with Erico's it was coming in the direction of the van the Luna was stronger than Erico's. Fast approaching, the syndrome stopped and now fear gripped me.
From the shadows of the road a giant wolf appeared,the van tried hitting it but the wolf howled at the van,the van soared in the air and collapsed on the floor. Wright and Smith came out, running in our direction.
But they died,I don't want to describe,it wasn't horrific enough. Don't get me wrong,I'm happy they died, they deserved every bit of it but their death wasn't painful enough.
Well another howl in their direction and they were on the floor, the wolf jumped in the air and devoured them.
" How?" I stood rejoicingly frightened.
" Sonic howl!" Erico said "Arla was gifted with it.
