Episode 17
Jane’s side of the story continues
I headed to Charles’s house after meeting with my
parent’s to brief him on the latest situation of things.
He really was very anxious to know every single detail
and i hid nothing from him.
‘’hmmm so you guys want me to go back to that evil
forest once again. That’s cool but it will cost money oo’’
he breathed after I was done with my story.
‘’no one is giving you a dime Charles. You failed in your
last assignment and you owe my parents. But if you
insist on getting paid, then forget about our own plans.
I will marry Val and spend the rest of my life with him’’
I threatened seriously while he laughed.
‘’’come on, I was only playing’’ he laughed, drawing close
to peck me. But I needed no telling that he changed his
stand because of my threat.
‘’you better be’’ I sighed.
‘’I’m really glad the idi.ot and his mum fell for our
plans. What’s remaining now is for you guys to get
married. It’s just a matter of time for everything to
fall in place for us’’ he added happily.
‘’what’s remaining is for me to get pregnant fast. Val
is very educated and observant and any little mistake
could bring up his suspicion. So I need to get pregnant
fast’’ I muttered, lifting up his spirit with my words. I
could even tell he was already aroused before I could
finish the statement. He pounced on me with great
energy.
‘’let’s make it happen babe. Let’s get you pregnant’’ he
breathed as he fondled me.

Isadora’s side of the story continues from the last
scene of the previous episode
‘’you know sir, I have told you everything about me but
I still know nothing much about you apart from that you
saved my life. All you keep telling me is that in due
time I will know. I’m getting impatient sir. And I always
have these strange feelings whenever I think of it.
Morover we are in grave danger here’’ I softly said to
the hunter who smiled and stared at me for some
seconds. I could tell with the appetite he devoured my
food that he enjoyed my cooking, even though the meal
was far from being a perfect one.
‘’fine, I think you have had enough rest. I believe you
are now strong enough to get hold of your destiny and
find your identity. But Firstly you will have to take me
to your adoptive parents, from there we can find out
exactly who you are and everything about your real
parents’’ he explained, expertly changing the topic and
bringing up hope in my eyes which quickly died down.
‘’but I don’t think they will tell you anything. They
weren’t very nice to me and I believe they just merely
tolerated me because they had no other option. The
only thing about my biological parents I have with me is
a small pendant which I left behind in my employer’s
house. I was told that I was an evil child and that the
pendant had powers’’ I breathed, looking down.
‘’don’t worry about your fears. In two days you will
take me to Nsukka to see your adoptive parents’’ he
muttered with a smile while I nodded and shrugged in
resignation.

Two days later, Nsukka
I really was nervous as ever as the hunter and I
strolled down to the house I fled from weeks ago. I
never imagined I would be returning so soon. Yes I was
scared as hell and if not that it was something I had to
do in order to know my real story I wouldn’t have
accepted taking the risk.
The time was exactly 2:15pm when we got down at the
last bus station before trekking down to the house.
Surprisingly I noticed that the hunter was kind of
familiar with the village. Even though I was in front of
him, I couldn’t help but notice that he walked with
great confidence as if he had been there before.
Nevertheless I paid no much attention to it because he
was a hunter and had possibly been in almost every part
of the state.

In no time, we got to my old home and were very lucky
to meet my adoptive parents at home. In fact they
were about having lunch when we walked in on them. You
can’t imagine the shock on their faces. They were
extremely surprised to see me, but then seeing the
hunter with me kind of heightened their surprise.
‘’Ogbu Agu (killer of lion) what a surprise’’ my adoptive
father screamed as he sprang up from his chair,
leaving me totally stunned.
‘’Dike my friend, what a long time” my companion (the
hunter) screamed with the same tone. I speechlessly
looked on as the two men shook hands before facing me.
‘’how on earth did you find her?. The girl ran away
from my house ooo for no just cause’’ my adoptive
father asked my companion who shrugged.
‘’it’s a long story my brother. I saved her life once
again like I did nineteen years ago’’ he replied while my
heart froze with disbelief.
‘’yes you heard right. I was the person that brought
you to this house nineteen years ago. Unfortunately
your parents died under my watch, under my
carelessness’’ he added softly while cold shiver ran
through me.
I almost fainted. The shock was just too much. But I
managed to get hold of myself because I knew a long
story was coming.
A story that could shape my destiny and give my life a
meaning.
