Must Read: The Devil Wears Okrika (A Story By Souloho19) - Season 1 - Episode 3

Amarachi was 21 years of age. She was the most sought after lady in Amaife. Her beauty had no equal. She had a face well defined with all the right angles. Clear brown eyes shaded under full lashes and a full mouth. Her father: Dé Nwachukwu was one of the three leaders of the community and he was tired of receiving visitors all asking for his daughter's hand in marriage.
Amarachi had been clear: she planned to finish her education before any thought about marriage would cross her mind. Her father knew she was intelligent and very strong willed and so he didn't force her. Moreover he had a high regard for education and wanted his two daughters to be well educated.

Presently, Amarachi was in the compound: in the kitchen stirring a pot of soup over a fire. She touched the spoon to her hand and tasted it. "More salt" she said to her friend.



Oluchi was her best friend. Had been her best friend since childhood. They had been inseperable and did everything together. Oluchi passed the bowl of salt to her. "Did you hear about Chisom?" Oluchi asked as her friend sprinkled salt in the food.



"I heard, so so bad...they said her mother fainted when she heard"



"My God, she was the only child....who found her?"



"It was little Ndidi and her sister" Oluchi replied setting up another fire



"Who is this devil? What kind of terror is this?" Amarachi asked worriedly


"That is the third girl in four weeks" Oluchi replied striking the matches.



The two friends talked for some minutes about their peaceful community that was getting more dangerous by the day.

"Ehen....Paul is coming back tomorrow"
"Paul? Oh...your brother"
"Yes he's coming from Lagos, and he can't wait to see you"



Amarachi raised an eye brow "really"


"Yes..we would go and pick him at the park, pleeeeaaasssee" she added batting her lashes playfully when her friend hesitated.



Amarachi rolled her eyes "Oh..all right"

The devil walked round the market square, enjoying the clear sky and the cool breeze. His appetite had been satisfied temporarily. Very soon he would need to have another girl again.
Very very soon. He had someone on his mind. She had been hunting his dreams recently.
He waved at a woman selling oranges, flashing her a charming smile and licked his lips in anticipation as he thought about Amarachi.
Sweet Amara.....
