arm, no movement. She carried her in her arms and wept after
seeing her broken neck.
    Who would have done this to such a peaceful
lady? Life is so cruel. She thought.

    Kujoo felt so tensed and he started walking
slowly away from Emily and she was moving towards him. She then
remembered why she ran after him as she screamed at him “Where is
my father?”
    “Your father? What happened to him?”
    “You are asking me that? You were one that
said he was sleeping when I saw him yesterday, weren’t you?” Tears
were beginning to drop from her eyes.
    “Yes, he was sleeping, but now, he’s no
longer with us.”
    “What do you mean by that?”
    “I mean what I say. We do not have him here
anymore. He should be in Africa right now.”
    “What is he doing in Africa?” she asked
bluntly.
    “He’s having a nice time, we placed him in a
nice place and I think he’ll do just fine over there.”
    “Okay, will you please give me the address? I
can’t still believe you could do this. For heaven sake, I am his
daughter and you shouldn’t be hiding this sort of thing fro. . .”
As she turned to look at Kujoo, she didn’t find him beside her
anymore, she just let the words slip out of her mouth as she
stamped her feet on the hard tar angrily. “He is gone again?”
    He was suddenly staring at her again and she
let herself scream. “How did you do that?”
    “What did I do?” He asked looking a bit
surprised.
    “You appear and disappear at will. I really
hate it, I was talking to …” The passage began to spin round Emily
until she fell to the floor.

     

CHAPTER 4
    Evalle ran to the garden and lay on the
floor, weeping bitterly. Her only family was dead and there was
nowhere else she could go. She just kept crying. “She said she does
not have a relative, I don’t even know of any. How am I supposed to
get rid of her body?” She asked herself still seeming uncertain on
what to do.
    She stood up and went back into the house.
She came back to the garden with a shovel and dug for several
hours. When she was done, she went in to get the dead body, threw
it into the hole and covered it up.
    Evalle ran into her room, packed her luggage
and proceeded to leave the house when she found something beside
her bed, she picked it up and opened it. Evalle saw that it was a
map describing some unknown place. “This doesn’t look complete” she
whispered to herself.
    She left the house for the library, after
putting the map in her bag. She then decided she was going to stay
in the library until she got more answers.
    As she got into the library, she immediately
settled down to read a book when she noticed that the librarian was
not there. She stood up and went to his table but he was not there
either. She then saw something that looked familiar, laying on the
table.
    She remembered the incomplete map she found
in her room and recognized the one on the table as the other half.
She picked it up and placed it in her pocket.

    “I think something is wrong with you, Ms.
Emily, you are seeing things. I am still the same and didn’t go
anywhere.”
    “I don’t think so sir.” Emily barked back at
him.
    “You really need to take a rest.” Kujoo said
as he finally began to leave her alone. Emily stormed back towards
the direction of her room and decided to check back at the strange
room she passed by. Maybe I am seeing things Kujoo may be right,
for the first time. She said to herself after a long walk.
    As she approached the room, everywhere seemed
quiet as she couldn’t hear any sound. She opened the door and
stepped into the room. The room was small with a light bulb hanging
from the ceiling, right in the center of the room.
    The room was empty but Emily noticed traces
of blood on the floor. She traced the blood from the door to a
corner of the room where it stopped. She looked in front of her and
saw what seemed to be a door. She pushed, it flung wide open.
    Emily felt goose bumps appear all over her
skin.
