Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 5
Charles POV:
I stared at what was
written on the tiles
wall in shock.
My heart started
thumping faster, I rub
my face to see if it
was just my
imagination but the
words were still
boldly written there.
I staggered back and
nearly slip. “Charles
what’s the matter?.”
Samuel ask worriedly.
I did not say
anything, I just point
at what was written
on the tiles wall of
Sophia bathroom.
“Oh My God!!!!!!!!, This
is bad!!, Really bad,
Charles what do we
do now?.”
It’s time to get into
action, I promised
Rachel yesterday that
I wouldn’t let any
harm befall on her or
the kids and I’m going
to fufill that Promise,
I will not let the serial
killer harm my
family……..I will not.
I quickly pull out my
phone and dial
Rachel’s number.
“Come on Rachel,
pick up pick up.”
At the fourth ring she
received the call.
“Hello, hello Rachel
hello are you
listening to me?.”
“Yes yes Charles why
do you sound Soo
panic?.
“Rachel the killer is
coming after you and
the kids.”
“What?!!!.” She gasp in
shock.
“Listen Rachel, don’t
panic, I will not let the
serial killer harm you
just follow my
instructions, okay?.”
“Okay.” Her voice
was feeble, she was
scared, d--n it I put
my family in this mess.
“Rachel lock every
doors and windows
and also lock the
attic, just make sure
everywhere is locked,
you and the kids
should hide in our
room, stay locked up
in the room just
remain there till the
Police and FBI squad
arrive, Rachel don’t
open the door till you
hear the Police siren,
every footstep you
hear, every sound
you hear, don’t pay
attention to it, I’m
coming to Nigeria.”
“Okay Charles I got
your message but
call the Police
department and FBI
squad not to take
long our lives is at
risk.” She said her
voice coaxed,
hearing my wife
sound like this
upsurge the anger in
me, I will kill the serial
killer if he harm my
family……….I swear I will.
“Don’t worry Rachel I
got everything under
control just do as I
told you.”
“Okay.” She said and
hung up.
I turn to Samuel. “I
need to see Brooks.”
I raced downstairs
Samuel following
behind me.
“Brooks, Brooks we
have a problem.” I
said trying to catch
my breath.
“Calm down James,
calm.” Brooks said.
“I can’t, the lives of
my family is in
danger.”
“What do you mean?.”
“Something was
written in Sophia’s
bathroom saying
NEXT—— Rachel
Charles, which is my
wife, that’s the clue
the serial killer has
been leaving to hint
us on his next
Victim.”
“So what are we
gonna do now?.”
Brooks ask worriedly.
“I’m taking the next
flight to Nigeria.” I
said
“But you wouldn’t be
able to get to Nigeria
today Charles.”
My face paled but I
replied. “That’s why
I’m going to call
Inspector Kunle now
to send Police and
FBI squad to my
house to protect my
family.”
“Ok be fast with that,
we will also send our
SWAT unit officers
with you to Nigeria,
this is our chance of
catching this Serial
killer.”
“Thanks alot
Brooks.”
I quickly dial
Inspector Kunle
number, my mind
repeateding just one
prayer… “God protect
my family.”
Rachel's POV:
Scared was an
understatement to
describe how I’m
feeling now. The
serial killer is coming
for us, my instincts
were right after all.
Okay Rachel don’t
panic just calm down.
I started locking
every doors and
windows just as
Charles has
instructed me to do.
I was just about to
close the main door
when I heard
somebody call my
name, my heart
somersaulted twice
and I look out at the
person calling me.
Relief wash over me
when I saw it was our
neighbor, Mummy
Favour, coming
towards me.
“Please Mummy
Favour, I can’t answer
you for now, my life
is in danger and I
would advice you to
leave immediately if
you still love your
life.” I told her.
“Have naw, iya
Hannah calm down
na, wetin make you
dey…………….” She didn’t
finish her sentence
as someone stab her
neck from behind with
a sharp knife. I
screamed and fall on
the floor as I watch
Mummy Favour
kicked furiously on
the floor, blood
gushing out of her
neck, mouth and
nose.
I looked at who was
standing at the
entrance and I
muttered. “The Serial
killer.”
He was wearing a
mask so I couldn’t
detect his face. He
wore a black jacket,
black denim jeans,
black gloves and
black boots.
He looked at me
before looking at
Mummy Favour on
the floor, then he did
something that
scared me to death,
he grab Mummy
Favour hair then he
stab the knife into
her two eyes using
the knife to remove
the eyes as he cut
the vein connecting
the eyes to the brain.
I have watched
enough, I screamed
and quickly jump to
my feet as I ran to
the room locking the
door before climbing
on the bed with the
children who were
now scared.
“Mum what
happened?.” Joe
asked worriedly.
I pulled both of them
closer to me, they are
too young to
experience this.
“Don’t worry children,
nothing will happen to
you…… absolutely
nothing.”
Then I saw the Bible
on the drawer, I
quickly took it and
started reading
verses, the serial
killer was banging on
the door.
I was sweating
profusely as I recite
the verses.
PSALM 56:3-4
WHAT TIME AM I
AFRAID, I WILL
TRUST IN THEE IN
GOD I WILL PRAISE
HIS WORDS, IN GOD I I
HAVE PUT MY
TRUST, I WILL NOT
FEAR WHAT FLESH
CAN DO UNTO ME.
He was banging
furiously on the door
and any moment from
now the door will
break down.
PSALM 60:11-12.
GIVE US HELP FROM
TROUBLE; FOR VAIN
IS THE HELP OF
MAN. THROUGH GOD
WE SHALL DO
VALIANTLY; FOE HE
IT IS THAT SHALL
TREAD DOWN OUR
ENEMIES.
The door was getting
weak and my children
we’re now crying.
PSALM 141:1-2.
LORD, I CRY UNTO
THEE, MAKE HASTE
UNTO ME; GIVE EAR
UNTO MY VOICE
WHEN I CRY UNTO
THEE. LET MY
PRAYER BE SET
FORTH BEFORE
THEE AS INCENSE,
AND THE LIFTING UP
OF MY HANDS AS
THE EVENING
SACRIFICE.
The door was slowly
coming down but I
continue reciting the
verses, my children
we’re crying loudly.
PSALM 102:1-2. HEAR
MY PRAYER, O LORD,
AND LET MY CRY
COME UNTO THEE.
HIDE NOT MY FACE
FROM ME WHEN I’M IN
TROUBLE; INCLINE
THINE EAR UNTO ME;
IN THE DAY WHEN I
CALL ANSWER ME
SPEEDILY.
The door finally
broke down and the
serial killer was
standing at the
entrance, two sharp
glittery knives in his
hands.
He said in a dark
voice. “There is no
where to escape now
Rachel.”
That instant I know
it’s over for me and
the kids, I pull my
children closer to me
as I muttered.
“I’m sorry Charles.”
