Springs of fire - Season 1 - Episode 11

He was greatly relieved that she was gone; he could now focus on other things.

His mind rested on Ore, he wondered where she was and how she was faring. He was eager to learn about her pain and what had driven her into the night.

Can you handle it?” He remembered the question the Holy Spirit had posed.

He was a pastor, he had heard a lot of confessions; stories of regret; the darkest and dirtiest of secrets, he was sure he could handle anything. He would not let the Spirit be, he needed to know Ore’s pain; he wanted to be a part of it.

However, concerning the strange vision of the unfamiliar man whose name was Paul, he felt he had his answers. Since he had been Ore’s ex, he may still have interest in her.
‘You don’t like her do you?’ Lily strolled into the kitchen.
‘Like who?’ Gavin lifted his eyes from the mug he held and glared at his younger sister.
‘Come on bro, don’t play dumb with me. We both know the person in question.’ She crossed her arms against her chest and leaned on the tall gas cylinder.

She liked Delilah for her elder brother, she felt he mother had made the right choice but it seemed her brother’s mind was somewhere else. Gavin and herself were close, the only secrets he kept from her were the secrets revealed to him by the Holy Spirit or the secrets of his church members, aside these, they were one in blood and in flesh.
‘It’s too early to assume, I think Delilah is a beautiful soul.’ He knew his sister and his mother were taken by her false charms, but he was not swayed by it.

Lily moved away from the cylinder and moved to where he stood.

‘Tell me Gavin, are you seeing someone? Who did you hang out with last night?’ She winked and rubbed her palms together, eager for some news.

‘I already told you baby sis, it was a business dinner, what more do you want to hear from me?’ He gulped what remained of the brown liquid then dropped the mug into the sink.
‘Okay then…’she seemed to believe him, ‘I just came to tell you that mum is really excited about you two, she cannot wait for the big day!’
Gavin laughed inside of him, but appeared cool on the outside.

‘Well, in the end, God’s will, must prevail.’ He winked and strode out of the kitchen so he could prepare for work. He decided to give Ore some space, whenever she was ready to talk to him, she had his phone number.
Now, he had to focus on the meeting he had the next day.

To kill Gavin Adediran would be the hardest job she would ever do, but she was not scared. Julia feared no one, no child of the phoenix threaded the path of fear. She had seen death face-to-face, she had been caged by darkness, she had swum in the river of blood, but she had come out victorious.

There were many ways to kill man, the first way was to poison him.

‘And if this does not work…’ she stared at the poisonous substance in the little emerald vials he held in one hand…

‘This will…’ she raised the bright red lipstick and drew an arc on her lips. If he escaped her s£duct!on, he would not escape the poison. Every man had a price, everyman had a weakness. To pull down the stronghold, one needed an entrance to the inside.

She wore a short skirt that revealed her sleek and creamy laps, a lacy top that showed just lovely boobs.

‘How long do you intend to keep me here? I have done nothing to you, you should release me.’ Ore struggled to break free from the metallic cords that bound her to a wooden chair.
Julia ignored her and focused on her make –up.
‘The Police would find the guy that you killed, they will trace him to you. If I were you, I’d flee town never to return.’ Ore was angry at the stranger who held her against her will.

Julia bit her lip and glared at the woman whose mouth ran like a damaged tap. She cursed herself for not ending her life the night before. She had pointed the gun at Ore, but someone else had showed up in the street, a drunken man who had also seen her face, she had no option but to end his life and flee the scene with Ore.

Anger burned her cheeks bright red, she dropped her lipstick and walked towards her captive. Before Ore could utter any other word, Julia released her hand and struck her across the face.

‘Don’t you ever threaten me…don’t you ever threaten a child of the phoenix. You know nothing about me, you know nothing about my journey in life. I am the shadow, I am death. I choose who lives and who dies, so you should be thankful that I spared your life.’

The sting of her slap silenced Ore for just a minute.

‘You lie! You didn’t spare my life, the lord Jesus whom I serve, spared my life. Death has no power over me because I serve the resurrection and the life.’ Ore would not let her situation weigh her down. She had faith in the lord, she had faith that he would deliver her from the hands of this mad woman.

Her only ache was the way she had treated Gavin…Julia had seized her phone and other properties that belonged to her, no one would know her whereabouts. She was in a fix!
Julia hated the words that she spewed, those words tormented her. She realized there was something odd about this lady, whenever the urge to kill her crossed her mind, something else would come up.

‘I’ll be back for you; I’ll send you to heaven to see that your Jesus.’ Julia hissed angrily, then fetched some pieces of cloth on her bed and stuffed it into Ore’s mouth.
She returned to the dresser to apply another coat of powder on her face when the Phoenix called. She froze, took a deep breath, ‘Master Paul.’
‘There’s been a murder in Walstreet Odoja, the style is like yours, do you have anything to do with it?’ The master asked.
Julia turned around and stared at her captive, who was gasping for breath with tears streaming down her face.
‘I had to kill him, he saw my face when I was about to shoot Gavin Adediran.’ She lied, she could not tell the master about Ore, or else he would call for her instant assassination, which she was not ready to carry out.’
‘You followed him…’ The master said.
‘Yes, I almost had him but he slipped through my fingers.’ She returned.
‘Good. You should make another attempt.’ The master suggested.
‘Yes, today. I plan to give him the swift death.’ Julia was confident that this would work.
‘I will be expecting the result. Play safe Julia.’
‘Thank you Master.’
