Nobody Knew What She Did With Those Used Condoms—Until This Shocking Night!
Episode 4
And so, at 2am, Pastor Felix crept out of the church barefoot. Head covered. Bible in one hand. An envelope of money in the other.
He walked to the abandoned poultry.
And knocked.
Once. Twice.
Linda opened the door.
She didn’t look surprised.
Didn’t ask questions.
Just sat cross-legged on the ground, eyes glowing in the candlelight.
“You’re early,” she said.
“I came to beg,” he whispered. “I have family. A name. Please… spare me.”
She smiled.
“I won’t take your life, Pastor. But I must take something.”
That’s when he felt it.
A sudden burning in his stomach. A twisting in his chest.
His voice cracked. His knees gave way.
And when he crawled out of that poultry at dawn, shirt torn, sweating and babbling nonsense—everyone knew.
The pastor had gone mad.
He roamed the street barefoot, shouting Bible verses backwards. By noon, he had to be tied with cloth to stop him from swallowing sand.
That was ninety-nine.
One more left.
And it was the biggest catch yet.
The town was breaking.
People now whispered Linda’s name like it was a curse. Market stalls closed early. Men walked with heads down. And those who once laughed now muttered prayers at every junction.
But one name was still missing from the list.
Chief Darlington.
The palm wine merchant. Widely respected. Wealthy. A man with five wives and three houses. He had laughed at the entire scandal, sipping his chilled beer and boasting:
“Any woman wey try me go collect. I no dey fear village drama.”
But deep down, he was shaking.
He had slept with Linda too.
Twice.
And just like the rest, he had left his used protection inside her bin. He remembered even teasing her about how clean her room was.
Now, every time he closed his eyes, he dreamed of that same bin—filled with hands reaching out, grabbing his throat.
He decided to leave town quietly.
Told his wives he was travelling to Asaba for “business.”
Packed two bags. Told his driver to wait by 5am.
But Linda was already ahead.
At 3:23am, Chief Darlington’s compound dog started howling.
At 3:35am, the gate opened on its own.
By 4am, the driver ran into the street shouting “Oga don vanish! Oga don vanish o!”
People rushed there.
His bags were still packed. Slippers still by the door. A hot kettle still whistling on the stove.
But the chief?
Gone.
And outside his gate, written in palm wine on the ground, were the words:
“The hundredth has been sealed.”
That was the final straw.
The elders gathered immediately. The youths held sticks. The women called their prayer leaders. Even the mad pastor started shouting:
“She has opened the gate! Blood moon is coming!”
They needed someone.
Someone untouched by Linda.
Someone pure.
And in the quiet, trembling voice of old Mama Nneka—the oldest woman in Ubah—the name was whispered:
“Her younger sister… Amanda.”
Linda’s forgotten blood.
The one person who knew the girl before the rituals began.
And the only one who might still reach what was left of her.
Not many people in Ubah remembered Amanda.
Quiet. Reserved. She had left the village for school three years ago and never returned—until now.
She arrived that afternoon, wearing a faded denim jacket, her hair in braids, face covered in light dust from the bus ride. But her eyes… they carried something heavy. A kind of sadness that made even the boldest elders pause.
“I heard about Linda,” she said softly. “I came as soon as I could.”
The town gathered around her at Mama Nkechi’s compound. Children sat on steps. Mothers held rosaries. The elders stood with folded arms.
Amanda didn’t flinch.
“I know what she’s doing. But it didn’t start here.”
She told them everything.
About their childhood in Ughelli. How Linda had always been different—fascinated by dark stories, obsessed with mirrors, always sneaking into their grandfather’s shrine. After their parents died, Linda became angry. Lost. She started visiting a woman in the forest—a woman Amanda had never seen, only heard about.
“They called her Ego Ishi… the head taker,” Amanda whispered.
She said Linda once came home with a necklace made of cowries and bone. Amanda threw it in the fire.
Linda didn’t talk to her for two years after that.
Then one day, Linda vanished.
And now she was here.
Killing slowly.
Feeding something.
Amanda stood up.
“Let me find her. Let me talk to her. If there’s any part of my sister left, I’ll find it.”
One elder protested. “That girl is no longer human. She’ll destroy you.”
But Amanda only smiled.
“Then let her try.”
She borrowed a torchlight, tied her laces tight, and asked one question:
“Where’s the old poultry?”
They pointed.
And as she walked alone into the dark, all they could do was pray.
Because what was coming wasn’t just a confrontation.
It was judgment.
Amanda didn’t shake as she approached the old poultry.
The wooden planks creaked. The air smelled like death and candle wax. And behind the broken wall, a faint humming danced with the wind—soft, cold, and bone-deep.
She stepped through the half-open door, flashlight in one hand, a small Bible in her back pocket.
There she was.
Linda.
Seated before a clay altar with 100 sealed ziplock bags placed in a perfect spiral. Candles surrounded her. A red chalk circle covered the floor. Her hair flowed wild, and her eyes… they were no longer fully human.
One shimmered gold. The other, black as charcoal.
Amanda’s breath caught.
“Linda,” she said gently.
No reply.
Just humming.
“It’s me. Amanda. Your sister.”
Linda smiled—but it wasn’t warm. It was sharp, crooked, and tired.
“Why did you come?” she whispered.
“To stop you.”
“You can’t. The sacrifice is complete. I only have to feed them tonight. And then I become what they said I could be—feared. Worshipped. Untouchable.”
Amanda stepped closer. The chalk beneath her feet cracked.
“And then what? You become powerful in a town that hates you? Rule over a graveyard? Is that what you want, Linda?”
Linda’s hands trembled.
“I was invisible before. Always second. Always ignored. I gave them what they wanted—and they gave me trash in return. Now, I hold all their sins in bags. And they fear me.”
Amanda’s eyes welled.
“You don’t need their fear. You need healing.”
Linda’s smile faded.
For a moment, just a second, her face looked like the girl Amanda used to braid hair with on hot afternoons. The girl who once cried when their pet goat died. The sister who used to sing in the rain.
Then the wind rose.
Candles blew wild.
The clay altar cracked down the middle.
A voice deeper than any man’s thundered through the walls:
“Choose. Blood or fire.”
Amanda took one step into the chalk circle.
And hugged her sister.
Tight. Fierce.
No words.
Just silence.
Linda screamed.
The lights exploded. The altar burst. The ziplock bags vanished—blown to ash.
And then… silence again.
When the smoke cleared, only Amanda was left—crouched on the ground, sobbing.
Linda was gone.
But the voice was not.
“One more soul is required.”
And that’s when Amanda realized…
It wasn’t over yet.
The news spread like wildfire:
“Linda is gone.”
Some rejoiced. Others cried. Many stayed silent, unsure what to believe. But one thing was certain—no one saw Linda again after that night.
Amanda returned from the poultry house alone.
Her hair singed. Her clothes torn. Her eyes… heavy. As if she had seen beyond life.
They brought her water. Mama Nkechi fed her rice. The pastor’s wife tried to pray. But Amanda didn’t speak for hours. She just sat under the mango tree behind the church, staring at the soil.
At sundown, the town bell rang once.
Then twice.
Then a third time.
And suddenly, every candle in the church compound blew out.
Amanda looked up.
A shadow stood at the far end of the road. Tall. Faceless. Wrapped in a black cloak that shimmered like oil in the moonlight.
She stood.
Walked calmly across the compound.
And faced it.
“You asked for one more soul,” she said. “Take mine.”
The shadow didn’t move.
But behind Amanda, the elders gathered. The mothers. The boys. Even the men who once betrayed Linda stood in shame.
One by one, they stepped forward.
“Take mine instead,” Emmanuel said.
“Take me,” whispered Kelvin.
Then Pastor Felix—still trembling from madness—crawled forward.
“Let the judgment be mine.”
And then—something strange happened.
The wind stopped.
The earth stilled.
And the shadow…
Laughed.
Not loud.
Not cruel.
Just soft… almost like relief.
Then it vanished.
Gone.
No fire. No smoke.
Just stillness.
Amanda collapsed.
When she woke up three days later, the town was quiet again.
No disappearances. No whispers. Just peace.
The bag? Gone.
The 100 names? Erased.
But a new sign stood at the edge of Ubah town, painted in bold red letters:
“Let those who take what is not theirs… remember what fear tastes like.”
Linda was never seen again.
But on stormy nights, some say they still hear humming near the old poultry.
And Amanda?
She left quietly, never to return.
But in every street corner, every bar, and every women’s meeting… her name remains.
Not as the girl who stopped a curse.
But the one who proved that blood doesn’t always run evil.
