Chapter 19: NGOZI HEAD
A young Ngozi is in her room watching TV, it was midnight and she knew what always happened during
midnight especially during weekends. She was waiting patiently and was also scared, Samson walks in
and closes the door gently.
"Dad, you''re back." Ngozi said, she stood up and moved closer to hug him her hands and feets were
shaking.
"Let''s get started dear." Samson whispered to her ear, Ngozi knew what her father meant she quickly
at her father waiting for him to finish up what he was about to start.
Ngozi wakes up and screams, she was in a park and all she could remember was that Samson was in
between her legs. Her head was hurting her really bad and she struggled to stand up after several
minutes of grunting and thinking about what happened at her in the Gok house she stands up, there
was no one at the park but looking at the ce it brought a lot of memories back to Ngozi, she
recognized this park and had been there but she couldn''t remember when. All her fifteen imaginary
friends suddenly appear around her, they all looked concern.
"What? How are all of you here?" She asked, she was confused about what was going on, a young
"The amulet saved you." Thedy says.
"It''s been awhile since I summouned you Cupid, so many mistakes have made." Ngozi says
disappointed, she had abandoned most of the imaginary friends she felt she outgrown and was too old
for, she created Cupid when she still believed in love but that thought was cleared off her mind due to
multiple reasons, the imaginary friends pushes Huffcupp to talk he was the first imaginary friend and
they automatically made him a leader.
"The amulet was protecting you, those heroes were trying to make you lose your mind but the amulet
sucked your mind inside it. Your body remains soulless." Huffcupp says, the whole scenario was
strange but hoped she''ll understand.
"Huh? And why did the amulet decide to put me in a park?" Ngozi was still trying to remember how she
knew this park.
"Your memories are shattered around the amulet, both good and bad. It''s time to go back to the surface
Ngozi." Huffcupp streches his hand wanting to lead her back to her body but she rejects the offer.
"No! You guys have no idea what it''s like up there, just give me sometime to think about it." Ngozi runs
off into the deep ends of the park.
Richard and Gboyega stand beside Ngozi''s body thinking of what to do, Richard was more worried
about her he had been saying different ideas to Gboyega but none worked to wake Ngozi up.
"There''s clearly nothing physically wrong with her, she doesn''t have any bruises or wounds." Richard
says and wondered what he could do to help her, he didn''t want to lose her. Richard looked into her
amulet, he concentrated on it and he sees a red light rolling around it, he touches it and all of a sudden
he knocks down.
"Richard!" Gboyega screams and runs toward him. "What do I do?" He wonders as both his friends are
unconscious.
Richard wakes up in the same park Ngozi was in, he looks around and finds the imaginary friends
around him. Richard gets up and tries to teleport out of the park but he couldn''t feel his powers.
"What are you doing here? Take him away." Huffcupp says boldly and punches Richard on the face.
In 2011,Ngozi is using a knife to cut tubers of yam to prepare for Samson. "It''s going to be fine Ngozi."
Ngozi said to herself quietly, as she grew older she wasing to the realization that her father would
never stop doing this thus she nned to escape. Samson walked in to get a bottle of water and stood
beside her, breathing heavily on her chest, Ngozi quickly moves to the counter of the kitchen to pick up
a te, she was shivering and she slipped on the ground and the te breaks.
"Stupid girl!" Samson shouts at the top of his voice, he grabs Ngozi neck and ps on her on the

different sides of her face cheeks.
"I didn''t....... Mean........" Ngozi stutters.
"That''s enough! You''re already in trouble today, unbutton your stupid cloth." Samson said, Ngozi
pretended to unbutton her shirt but she wasn''t she wanted to protect herself for the first time. "Don''t
y games with me." Samson picked up the knife and used it cut her clothes, he threw the knife away
and as he was about to tear down her bra with his hands, Ngozi felt a form anger something she had
never felt before the kitchen was covered in a ck mist. Samson jumps away from Ngozi body, they
both heard the disoriented voice of a womanughing. Tina appeared behind Papa, she was finally
born and she quickly without hesitation snaps Samson neck killing him. She stared at Ngozi for a
second, Ngozi felt a dark energy inside her she had never created any of her imaginary friends with a
bad emotion, her lips started to tremble as she burst into tears. Tinaughs manically and vanishes in a
dark mist, Ngozi quickly snaps back into reality she stared at her father''s dead body thinking of what to
do. A woman barges into the house after hearing all the noises, she was their neighbor and she knew
everything that had been going on most days she''ll feel likeing out to help Ngozi but couldn''t.
"You were never here dear, get out of here quickly." She says happy that Samson was gone for good,
Ngozi picks a shirtying on the kitchen ground and runs out of the house.
She runs to the main road not looking around for carsing her way, she just wanted to get far away
from her house, she identally bumps into a ck jeep knocking her down. Papa and Chonge
out of the car, Chong looked concerned while Papa didn''t even bother to look at the person they hit.
"She''s still breathing, what do we do with her?" Chong asked, he was worried.
"Let''s just dump her at some hospital, I don''t have time..........." Papa nces through Ngozi and is
fascinated by her amulet. "No, let''s take her home with us." Papa quickly retraced his statement.
They arrive at Papa''s house, Chong drops her on a chair. He ces his hand on her forehead and
body glows up in a green colour for few seconds, Ayo, Richard and Gboyega walk in to wee Papa.
"Wee back home Papa, Chong it''s been years since we''ve seen you." Ayo said, he was jealous
that Papa and Chong were spending time together.
"Who''s he?" Gboyega asked, he had just gotten to Papa''s house this year.
"That is Chong, he lives here to but he isn''t always stable." Richard exined to Gboyega, Papa''s
whispers to Chong and he stays away from the team.
"It''s been quite a night, as for thedy I''ll exin to you................" Papa goes on exining how he
found Ngozi.
A hourter, Ngozi wakes up. She was scared and confused she looked around the house it felt cozy
but she wanted to get out, Gboyega walks to her while holding a te of rice.
"Who are you? Where I''m I? What I''m I doing here?" Ngozi says swiftly, she tried to use the powers
she felt while she was in Samson''s house but she couldn''t feel anything.
"I can exin but you''ll need to eat, you look weak." Gboyega moved closer to her trying tofort her
but looking at him the only thing she thought of was her father, she hits him on the face with her hand.
"Stay away from me monster! Stay away." She shouts, Gboyega couldn''t handle himself by what she
said to him and the te melts. Richard walks in.
"Sorry for trying to help." Gboyega runs off to his room still bothered about Ngozi calling him a monster.
"I just want to get out of here." Her voice shakens, she was scared tears filled her eyes and she was
breaking down.
"You bumped into the car of the owner of this house, he brought you here to help you I guess." Richard
says, he nced at her from head to toe and knew she wasn''t fine. "You look really bad, you should at
least eat something." Richard says gently, Ngozi sits on a chair realizing what really happened.
"I''m fine, I just want to head out of here." Ngozi says, in her head she was thinking of where she''ll go
to, she had no home or anyone to go to.
"Hey, trust me when I say I know someone who just ran away from home. So just sit and rx."
Richard said calmly, Ngozi then nods to the positive.
Ngoziys on the ground, facing ake and the beautiful sunset. She looked around this beautiful world
and felt happy to be in it, there was no sort of distraction like work, friends and so on but her father kept
hitting her thoughts. Tina walks up to her andy beside her.
"You''re lucky to be here, very lucky." Ngozi says and turns to the left to face Tina.
"It''s not always like that, we all have our base and mine is constant reminder..........." Ngozi interrupts
Tina before she could finish.
"About what happened to me, I can''t quite get it off my head to." Ngozi wonders what she''ll do to help
herself, she sighs.
"I have a idea, there''s this ce in the amulet where your bad memories exist. It''s called the Casket, if
you can confront your past and defeat it then you''ll be free from this torture." Tina says, Ngozi stands
up interested in this Casket thing, she''ll do anything to get her father off her mind.
"How do you know about it?" Ngozi was curious, she wanted to take off right now to find the casket.
"It''s around my base so that''s why I know much about it but I can''t go in cause I''m not real. I can take
you there but you''ll have to confront a lot of bad memories." Tina stands up and grabs Ngozi hand, she
knew what was down there and it wasn''t good at all, regrets quickly flooded her mind for even telling
Ngozi about it.
"Take me there." Ngozi says boldy ready and determined to clear her dad off her mind.
Richard wakes up in a cell, he tried to open the door but it was locked and made of steel. He cries out
for help, after shouting for several minutes, he alys back on the floor hoping someone will find him, he
hears the cell door getting opened Richard gets excited hoping that Ngozi hade to find him but to
his supries it was Huffcupp.
"If it isn''t the person that locked me up." Richard says disappointed, he sat back on the floor waiting for
Ngozi to show up.
"I''m sorry for what I did, I was just following orders." Huffcupp begged, he needed Richard help. "I wish
there was a lot of time to exin but I need your help, Ngozi is in danger." Richard quickly gets up, he
thought she was fine when hended in this new world.
"What happened to her?" Richard moved closer to Huffcupp, he wasn''t as tall as the gori so he
raised his head up to look at Huffcupp to try and feel intimidating.
"I don''t know, I sent the other imaginary friends to go look for her but they couldn''t find her. We need to
get to her before............... She goes to the wrong ce." Huffcupp walks out, Richard follows him and
continues to question him.
Two dayster after Ngozi was found by Papa, she settles in his house hoping this could be her
temporary home until she actually finds a way to set herself up, she leaves her room and walks down
to the dining to join the others she also nned to apologize to Gboyega. She gets to the dining and
spots the team talking as she was about to walk up to them she hears Gboyega mention her name.
"They''re talking about me?" She says to herself, she summouned Daisy who was her gossip friend and
confronts her with what she feels.
"Can you see those fools? They''re clearly saying terrible things about me." She says disheartened.
"I doubt that, I could help you listen and report back." Daisy says hoping Ngozi won''t give up a perfect
chance in finally having a family.
"There''s no need, no one cares about me." Nhozi says and runs back to her room.
The boys were truly talking about Ngozi but not in the way she thought. "I just feel like she needs time
to blend in, we all needed time." Richard says after Gboyega made aint about her.
"Agreed, where is she and Chong by the way?" Ayo asked, he didn''t trust Chong and couldn''t stand
him.
"Chong has been in his room meditating for hours, I''ll check on Ngozi." Richard says and leaves the
others, he wanted Ngozi to blend in so bad. He goes to the front of her door and knocks on her door,
Ngozi gently opens it.
"What are you doing here?" She was shocked to see him after what she thought he was saying about
her.
"I....... Just came to see how you were doing, I know it''s hard to fit in a house filled with........ Men and
you''re like the only........... Lady.........." She quickly shuts Richard up, Richard felt embarrassed but
Ngozi was giggling.
"Thanks, I''m not nning to stay for long. I''ll head out soon." Ngozi says, she felt morefortable
around Richard.
"No one is, we''re all just trying to get better." They both stared at each other, the conversation wasn''t
going anywhere and Richard still wanted to talk to her. "I know it''s to early but what made you run away
from your house?" Ngozi didn''t feelfortable with this question, she had nned to keep everything
about herself a secret from these people she had just met.
"I don''t feelfortable talking about it, thanks." Ngozi said firmly, she retraced her steps back to her
room and goes behind her door.
"Hey it''s alright, my parents made me ran away. They almost drove me crazy." Richard said and
stepped back too, she wondered if Richard was a telepath that he knew her father made her run away.
"Same." She responds and moves away from the door.
"It''s going to be fine." Richard says and wanted to touch her hand, he moves his hand really slow
towards hers but Huffcupp suddenly appears behind Richard and growls at the top of his voice.
"Stay away from her!" The gori shouted, Richard slowly turned around and jumps out of fright when
he sees a huge white gori standing behind him.
"Fuck!" Richard shouts and runs away from the hallway.
"It''s my job to protect you and I clearly don''t trust that kid." Huffcupp says loudly and vanishes.
Nhozi and Tina walk down a dark forest filled with dark sounds making sounds around the forest, Ngozi
trembled a bit but Tina wasn''t scared by this she was literally born at this spot, Tina stops and moves to
a bungalow building that looked exactly like Samson''s house.
"This is my bus stop, just continue to walk down the forest and you''ll find your way to the Casket." Tina
says and enters the house, Ngozi heard screaming of her young self and her father, she quickly moves
far away from the building.
"I can do this." Ngozi says to herself, she exhales out deeply and thinks of how she''ll be happy if she
can be free from the clutches from her father, this gave her confidence. Ngozi runs deep inside the
forest, a huge wave of wind blows toward her she struggles to move forward as the wind pushes her
back, she hides behind a tree and sits on the ground. Minutester, Ngozi doesn''t hear the sound of
anything, the whole forest was quite and as she gets up to start moving again the whole forest
suddenly changes to a hallway filled with different doors, each door had a tag on it with scenerios of
Ngozi''s past, she starts moving confidently looking for the Casket.
Richard and Huffcupp walk down another forest unlike the dark one this forest was filled with beautiful
trees and different animals, they''ve been going around this forest for awhile now and Richard was
fascinated about all these things living inside the amulet.
"This ce is beautiful, why can''t you just let Ngozi wait here till she''s like ready toe back?"
Richard wanted what was best for Ngozi, he also knew that the surface was a pretty shitty ce.
"It''ll be great if she stays here but this ce is also dangerous, Ngozi mind is a very dangerous ce
and she can''t be here. I''ve spent all my life here and I know everything about this ce, Ngozi is
heading to a ce of doom." Huffcupp says.
"I don''t understand, exin." Richard stops walking, he wanted to know what was going on he got
really worried about Ngozi.
"I can''t find Ngozi anywhere, I''m pretty sure she''s going to the Casket and the Casket is a ce where
you face your biggest fear. There''s no way Ngozi can ovee what she''s going through." Huffcupp
says disheartened, he feared he couldn''t save her.
"And what happens if she doesn''t ovee it?" Richard asked but Huffcupp doesn''t respond, the
gori faces his head down.
"She''ll get destroyed here and be a soulless body." Huffcupp says and moves forward, after
walking for few minutes he stops. "We''re here." Huffcupp says boldy, a huge blue forcefield is right in
front of them. Huffcupp touches the forcefield and it opens up gently, they both pass through the force
field and the forest in front of them changes into a hallway with different doors.
"We have to pass the easy way to get to Ngozi, jumping from memory to memory." Huffcupp says and
opens one of the door, inside is a white light shining really bright, they couldn''t see what was inside.
"Isn''t this like invasion of privacy?" Richard knew that Ngozi didn''t like talking about her past so didn''t
feelfortable going in.
"Don''t worry, it''s the good memories that are in these doors." Huffcupp says and drags Richard inside.
Richard screams in pain due to the powerful light hurting his eyes, he quickly closes his eyes without
looking at where he was.
"Seems like I''m blind." Richard voice shaked as he squeezed his eyes really tight.
"Just open your eyes." Richard hears a disoriented voice of Huffcupp, he also heard sounds of people
talking and cars moving. He wondered where he was and quickly opens his eyes.
"Fuck!" Richard shouts as a truck is moving towards him with full speed, he was standing at the middle
of a road, he couldn''t ess his powers. The truck was very close to him, Richard life shed right
before his eyes and a lot of different thoughts started hitting him, a quick thought hit him that was his
purpose his life apart from drinking, smoking and sleeping with women. The truck goes through Richard
but surprisingly he is fine, the truck had no effect on him Richard first thought he was dead thenter
thought he had gotten another power.
"You''re fine boy, this ce isn''t real. It''s a fragment of Ngozi memory." Huffcupp wanders around.
Richard exhales heavily and remembers this particr roadside.
"I know this ce, this was when I and Ngozi were going for our first date. Too bad it ended so soon."
Richard says to himself, he looks around for Huffcupp and sees he is very far from him. "Hold up."
Richard runs to Huffcupp as they continue their journey to get to Ngozi.
In the memory, Richard and Ngozi walk around the roadside talking and smiling. This was Ngozi first
date with anyone and she wanted to make the best impression.
"And that''s why I ran away, I couldn''t let her ruin mepletely.........." Richard slows down as he talks,
he just told her about his childhood. "Most times she''ll call me her project, like I owed her something I
don''t know about.......... I''m just confused about who I am right now..........." Ngozi grabs Richard lip, he
was pouring his heart to her but she felt talking more about it won''t help me but Richard actually
needed someone to talk to.
"Hey, you''re not like your parents. Thank you for helping me and putting me through, you''ve made me
feel better and I''m pretty sure at some point I''ll tell you about myself." Ngozi says softly, Richard felt a
huge wave of responsibility on his shoulder that he was the only one that can protect her.
Ngozi walked down the hall, a huge wave of bad memories flooded her mind due to where she was,
she felt pain, misery, guilt and so much more. She grabbed her head thinking about all her life choices
how she could have been happier in life if she opened up to people who actually cared for her, if she
learnt her powers and so many more. She hears disoriented voices of Richard and thought of how both
of them were at the breaking point of their rtionship. She sees ady wearing a hood standing at a
distance, Ngozi quickly recognized who she was.
"Miss Vicious." Ngozi moved closer to the hooded figure, she hadn''t summouned this her particr
imaginary friend for a very long time.
"So you remember me?" Thedy removes the hood around her, she had different scars on her bodies
and a metal w for a hand.
"Why wouldn''t I? I created you when my principal wanted to get information about my past, I needed a
imaginary friend that was going to guide my secrets at all cost." Ngozi says, she remembered vividly.
"Yes and after summoning me for like two other things, you left me here. This is my base I guide your
memories and I''m pretty sure you''re looking for the Casket, follow me." Miss Vicious voice was quite
deep, she didn''t bother to wait for Ngozi''s reply she turned around and walked towards the Casket,
Ngozi followed behind her gently.
In one of memories, Richard and Ngozi are arguing in a apartment. They''ve moved together and their
differences are breaking them apart.
"You never tell me anything, you just sit around gloom and talk to your so called friends." Richard voice
was really high, this wasn''t the first time he hadined about this to Ngozi.
"Maybe I want to be left alone, everyone isn''t like you that think talking can solve everything." She says
firmly and sits down on a couch.
"Did I do something wrong Ngozi? You never allow me to even touch or hold your hands most times,
are you afraid of me?" Richard talked gently, he knew he couldn''t win this by yelling.
"No but some of us are just going through more worst issues than having mummy tell us what to do
with our lives." Ngozi didn''t think this statement through, she just said it so he could leave her.
"Wow." Richard breathes out and teleports out of the house.
The other imaginary friends hang around the park waiting for the others to show up, earlier they all sent
Huffcupp to find Ngozi while they wait, this didn''t sit well with Blitz.
"Why aren''t we out there helping Huffcupp find Ngozi?" Blitz was concerned that they weren''t back.
"Huffcupp can''t handle whatever is there on his own."
"Huffcupp primary job is to protect Ngozi, we have different purpose." Cupid said swiftly.
"Haven''t you guys wondered what our purpose is?" Since when Blitz had left the park he had
questioned what he was. "I won''t just sit here and not do anything." Blitz runs off to look for Ngozi, the
others watch him from a distance as he goes.
Richard and Huffcupp are still walking around Ngozi''s memories, Richard gets really tired of wandering
around.
"I''m tired, mainly because of seeing so many good moments of my failed rtionship. Doesn''t Ngozi
have any good childhood memory?." Richard has mostly seen memories of Ngozi at her adulthood.
"Let me just say that her childhood wasn''t the best." Huffcupp avoided saying more than that, he looked
at Richard and saw that he was quite full. "Sorry for being quite the asshole, I was trying protect Ngozi."
Huffcupp says softly.
"Hmm, it''s understandable you''re only nice to me when you need me, that''s how my life has been
around people." Huffcupp couldn''t reply, he knew what Richard said was true but Huffcupp was just
doing his primary job.
"I just wonder what my life would be if I focused on myself a little bit, while I was young I was busy
trying to impress my and be like them, got to Papa''s house and I was busy taking care of Ayo helping
him understand his powers, moved out from Papa house and............. I thought I was finding myself but
when Ngozi left, I was just shattered and wenk back to my old shell." Richard voice trembled as he
talked, he regretted not trying to get better and be a better person, he felt empty.
"I understand." Huffcupp Pat''s his shoulder.
"Aren''t you just a imagination?" Richard asked.
"I don''t really know, I''ve spent years inside this amulet just waiting for Ngozi to call me or for me to
goes nk, Richard hides behind Huffcupp. Huffcupp wasn''t phased this wasn''t the first time he
passed this route to the dark forest, a huge wave of light ising towards them.
"Not again." Richard sighs and covers his eyes, minutester he opens it and jumps up scared, he was
in the middle of a forest. "Where are we?" He headed sounds of crows and was quickly frightened.
"Stay here, I mean it. I don''t want you to see something that you will regret." Huffcupp pushes him and
walks to the bungalow building in front of them. Richard stood frightened, he was sweating heavily he
heard voices of Ngozi in his head.
"Ngozi!" Richard runs off around the forest to look for her, her voice gets louder in his head and he
heard a man''s voice too. "No one will hurt you, I''ming." Richard ran faster, he trips and falls as he
raises his head up he sees Samson tearing down Ngozi clothes as she cries out for help. "Fuck!"
Richard shouts at the top of his voice, Huffcupp who has been looking around for him grabs his clothes
and turns him away from it.
"I told you not to go anywhere." Huffcupp shouted at the top of his voice.
"We need to find Ngozi." Richard said boldly and walked away from Huffcupp, he clearly understood
everything now, why Ngozi didn''t allow him talk to her for long, why she couldn''t trust him with her
secrets and so on. He was more than determined to save Ngozi.
"We''re almost there." Miss Vicious says as she leads Ngozi towards the Casket, Ngozi had second
thoughts about going in there she couldn''t handle all the negative emotions she was feeling.
"I don''t think I want to go in anymore." Ngozi steps back a bit.
"Are you sure?" Miss Vicious stared at here, Ngozi heard her father''s voice. The pain didn''t stop, she
felt his hands all over her body and tears suddenly roll down from her eyes.
"No, let''s go. I want to be free." Miss Vicious leads the way. Richard and Huffcupp quickly get to her,
they''ve been running with dashing speed to get to Ngozi, she was shocked to see Richard.
"Don''t do it Ngozi." Richard breathes out heavily, Miss Vicious streches her w to impale Richard he
was invading her memories Huffcupp quickly pushes Richard out of the way and is stabbed inside.
Ngozi runs to Richard.
"What are you doing here Richard?" She said softly concerned about how all the ways Richard got to
her.
"I cane to save you, I saw everything and I understand now. Please don''t go inside the Casket." He
grabs her hand wanting to take her far away from this ce.
"I can''t, I need to be free from this torture I''m going through. I can''t handle it anymore, it feels like this
wave is taking over me day by day and I know I can''t survive it." She sighs, this was the first time Ngozi
was opening up to someone.
"I''m begging you, just stop and we''ll handle it in the real world." Richard whispered to her.
"I''m sorry for this, Vicious! Don''t kill him." Ngozi shouts, Vicious jumps toward Richard and gently
impales her ws on Richard''s leg. Ngozi runs off to find the Casket.
"I''m sorry but I can''t let you stop her." Miss Vicious streches her other hand, rage filled her eyes she
had other motives. As the w got closer to Richard''s chest, a sudden lightning hits her knocking her
down.
"Go and help her!" Blitz shouted from afar, he was with the other imaginary friends as they ran towards
them, Richard dashes off to catch up with Ngozi.
"We can''t let her hurt herself." Daisy says as they all march toward Vicious and Huffcupp who was
unconscious.
"You fools, if Ngozi dies then we''ll all be free to live in the real world." Miss Vicious says and struggles
to stand up.
"Bullshit." Blitz wanted it to be true, he wanted to be free just like Ngozi but couldn''t believe Miss
Vicious.
"It''s true, I''m in charge of her memories and if you don''t trust me wait for Huffcupp to get up and all of
you can ask him by yourselves." Vicious suddenly vanishes into the shadows while the whole group
stare at Huffcupp.
Richard runs through different doors looking for Ngozi but suddenly he sees a door standing on it''s own
without the support of any wall, without hesitation Richard opens the door and jumps inside. He finds
himself in a graveyard, he spots Ngozi bowing before her father.
"Father is always right, father is always right, father is always.........." Ngozi repeated that same
sentence, she was in a trance.
"She wasn''t ready, she couldn''t defeat her father." Richard quickly runs towards them, Samson
streches his hand and Richard body was suddenly paralyzed.
"You can''t save her." Samson said deeply, his eyes glowed in a red colour and turned into a huge giant
figure, Ngozi doesn''t notice this she continues to recite the same sentence until Samson uses his big
foot to step on Richard.
"Ngozi! Ngozi! Ngozi!" Richard shouted and screamed in pain, he felt his soul departing from his body,
Ngozi turns around andes out of the trance immediately she sees Richard is in danger.
"No, not Richard. Leave him alone." She says quietly, she didn''t make any attempt to help him.
"You can defeat your father Ngozi, you''re not alone in this." He cries out in pain, his eyes were closing
up.
"I''m not alone." She said to herself, she thought of her her friends and family. A huge wave of
memories starteding to Ngozi and she smiled, they were all rxing and calming. A memory of
her talking with Ayo suddenly appears in front of her
Ayo sees Ngozi cutting onions in the kitchen and walks up to her. "Hmm hi, I know you don''t talk to
people that much but we at this house care about you even Gboyega." The memory fades away.
"I can do this." Ngozi says to herself, she thought of all the fun she had with her imaginary friends and
how they were always there for her, how she and Tolu could be good friends. "I have people that
care about me." She smiles and as tears drop from her eyes, her legs were moving away from the
ground, Ngozi was floating. "Grandma always called me star." She exhales deeply and finally thought
of Richard.
"I want us to move together." Richard gently told Ngozi, she didn''t feelfortable with it but Richard
goes on. "I want to be with you, I want us to be together. I love you Ngozi."
Ngozi snapped back to reality, for the first time she didn''t feel alone she knew she had families and
friends that were always going to protect her. Her body glowed in a very bright red colour. "I''m not
afraid of you." Ngozi said boldly to Samson, her voice echoed around the graveyard and a red orb ball
Richard wakes up after knocking out from the explosion, he sees Ngozi sitting beside him. "How are
you?" He gently sat beside her.
"I don''t know, my father is still in my head but I''m better. I can handle the feeling better now." She
slowly rested her head on his shoulder. "Let''s go home." Ngozi says and smiles, she was relieved from
a pain she had battle for a very long time.
"Ngozi!" Richard shouts at the top of his voice as he woke up, he draws a near by chair closer to her
bed and sits on it. Her eyes were still closed, so he holds her right hand with his two hands and lowers
his head to kiss the back of hand. "I''m sorry I couldn''t be there to protect you all this while."
"All that matters is that you came." Ngozi said as she gently opens her eyes while smiling. Gboyega
walks in all bruised up, his shirt and trousers had patches on them. "You''re both awake." Gboyega runs
toward both of them and gives them a big hug, Ngozi had never seen Gboyega this happy.
"Yeah, take your time and rest Ngozi." Richard says as he stands up from the chair, he and Gboyega
leave the room and head to the sitting room, on getting there the whole ce was a mess and Abayo
