THE STRANGER I WELCOMED

(SHORT STORY)

TWO

A feral noise bubbled from my throat as the snake lazily zigzagged towards me.

It abruptly stopped inches away from me and stick out a tiny pink tongue at me.

My blood was racing madly while my heart thudded uncontrollably when it bared it's fang, revealing four bitty teeth which shone in the light.

My own teeth was clattering in catatonic shock when the snake suddenly coiled up and raised her head to strike.

The lights suddenly flickered and went out, leaving me in pitch darkness.

I screamed my lungs out, calling my neighbors and jumping blindly from one end of the room to another in order to dodge the attack.

The ground where my feet touched felt soft and cold and I swore to have seen a thousand serpents exhuming from the ground and gliding towards me to dig their fangs inside my body.

"Amara!

I heard my next door neighbor yelling and pounding urgently on the door and the lights instantly came on.

There was no snakes anywhere around the room rather Tina was the one sitting quietly on the bed, minding her business.

I was too traumatized to answer the door but Tina stood up and threw it wide open to the neighbors who thronged in to enquire what is going on.

"Amara!

Oh girl, you don't look good.

What's wrong with you?" One of my neighbors interrogated.

"Babe, you look so pale!

What's that?" Another added and led me to the bed.

"Sna...snake!

It is hiding somewhere in this room." I stammered and some of my neighbors especially the women shrieked and ran out of the room.

The neighbors immediately organized themselves and began to scatter everything in the room to hunt for the snake.

Tina was quiet as they furiously worked, tossing and moving things from one place to another.

For over three hours, they labored in vain and by the time they exhausted their strength and decided to retire to their various rooms, I was too frightened to put my legs down on the floor.

Tina did not show any concern when I left to sleep in a neighbors room and even when they advised her to find a place for herself, at least for the night; she waved it off and declared that she would be alright.

By the time I woke up the next day, she has already left for school and ate the only noodles I intended to use for breakfast.

Nelo was not in class when I got to school and neither is her lines reachable.

I was too occupied during lectures, reminiscing on the events of the previous night.

The more I think about it, the more it seems strange and absolutely frustrating.

By the time we called it a day at school, I went straight to Nelo's lodge to confront and make her take her cousin away from my room but she was nowhere to be found.

Her roommates informed me that she left to an undisclosed destination the previous evening and has not returned home.

Tina was already home, chattering excitedly with a friend when I came in.

They refused to acknowledge my presence and I ignored them in turn.

After resting for a while, I went to my cupboard to get some biscuits and groundnut which my mother packed for me at the beginning of the semester but I could not find anything.

When I carefully looked around, I found the empty carton of biscuit in the wastebasket while Tina's friend was securely hugging the bottle of groundnut which is almost gone between her thighs.

"Tina!" I called in a bitter tone.

"How dare you go close to my cupboard?

Eating my noodles is not enough for you, what on earth gave you the temerity to go close to my cupboard?" I spat and faced her squarely.

"Stop barking at me like a mad dog?" She retorted and stood up to face me.

"Do you even have a home training?

It seems like your mother did not teach you enough manners before you left home." She challenged and glared defiantly at me.

"Ohhhhh!

I've become a mad dog eh?

I've become a mad dog in my own house for being kind enough to accommodate you?" I asked and felt all my muscles twitching for more actions.

"Amarachi!

Are you angry that I'm stating the obvious?

It is only a mad person who will be shouting unprovoked and bringing neighbors into her room.

What happened the previous night?

Did not not raise a false alarm, bringing neighbors into our room?" She mocked and scrunched up her nose.

"You ingrate!" I screamed wildly and grabbed one of her bags closer to me.

"You're leaving my house right now!" I cried and began to throw her things out.

"Bring it on babe!

We are leaving the house together." She returned and began to throw my own things out.

LILIANA

TWELVE

Lily coiled up in bed shivering badly.

The commotion outside was getting louder and people were screaming wildly but she already knew what has happened.

Her stalker has killed another and pinned the guilt on her.

Lily who was afraid of going back to sleep felt a presence and a pair of malevolent eyes starring intently at her.

She muffled her sob on the pillow and before long, she fell asleep and her faceless assailant returned.

He was savage as he slapped and hit her head over and over on the bedpost before forcing himself on her.

She woke up in the morning with scratches and bruises all over her body.

Lily queitly checked out of the hotel and lodged into another for she was afraid of returning home lest her bad festers on the people quite close to her heart.

She becomes a hermit, avoiding people especially the male folks and did not care to return to the office where her secretary worked round the clock, trying to put things in order.

Her mother called severally but she terminated the calls and ended up placing her number on a blacklist.

The stalker continued to frustrate and manipulate her and wouldn't let her seek for help for he penetrates into her very soul and read every thought of her heart.

After sometime, Lily fell terribly sick and had every symptom associated with pregnancy.

She constantly threw up and was plagued with fatigue which kept her in bed all the time.

She hide from people and camera and the entertainment industry where she featured began to raise an eyebrow about her whereabouts.

When she missed her period, she was surprised for she knew no man and yet her breast keeps getting larger while she randomly felt fluttering movements in her stomach.

Lily became bloated and none of her clothes could fit in anymore.

The bizarre occurrence forced her into running a pregnancy test with a test strip and it came out positive.

Alarmed over what is about to befall her, Lily returned home to an empty house for it has been months she's been hiding away and all her domestic servants has pitched their tents elsewhere.

On the very night she slept at home, Lily was surprised to see a baby crib sitting comfortably in her room which has been reconstructed into a baby nursery.

Frantic with worries, she called her property manager who informed her that no one has ever stepped into the house ever since the servants left.

The rooms suddenly have a soul and breathe harshly and Lily was frightend by her very shadow as she retired to the guest room to pass the night.

She was about to fall asleep when she suddenly felt nauseous.

She flew into the bathroom and after retching violently for few minutes, she wearily returned to the room and found her phone beeping.

"Lily,

Aren't you excited that we've made a baby?

I'm playing my role as a caring husband which is why I brought those gifts in your bedroom.

Our son will be super cute and you wouldn't imagine the rare gifts he'll come along with,

Larmatine.

Lily dreamt where she was hosted in a big party and people toasted for her health and that of her unborn child.

A strange man stood by herself, guiding her delicately and introducing her to various tables.

Lily woke up in the morning and booked an appointment with a hospital.

When she got to the hospital and explained her symptoms to the doctor, he decided to conduct a pregnancy test which came out negative.

Lily was taken to the sonar room where an obstetric ultrasound was carried out on her.

Her uterus was empty, devoid of any life instead, a large fibroid and a tissue which looks like a baby was growing outside her womb.

She was booked for a surgical procedure even though she protested weakly.

Before she was wheeled into the theatre, the surgeon who knew Mrs. Elliot too well called and informed her of the latest happening.

The man who's also a minister of God went into his personal sanctuary to draw powers before proceeding to the theatre for he has already seen the aureole of dark forces surrounding Lily.

THE STRANGER I WELCOMED

(SHORT STORY)

ONE

"Haba, Amarachi!

I never knew that you're this heartless o!" My friend Nelo Chastised and rolled her eyes.

"But I'm only being careful Chinelo.

Why are you tagging my refusal as wickedness?" I desperately inquired.

"How on earth did you expect me to welcome a total stranger into my room?

It is true that I don't have a roommate but you of all people knew the reason why my parents wanted me to stay alone.

I'm an only child and they're only trying to be careful." I hotly defended myself.

"Nne, forget that thing jareh!

Tina is my cousin and she will be staying with you just for some days until she figured out how to get place for herself.

I would have accomadated her myself but we're already four in a room and my landlord would frown over adding another person." She explained.

Eventually, I was coerced into accepting her proposal due to the bond we shared as friends and Nelo came knocking on my door early the next day with a beautiful girl who almost bowed to me for accepting to temporary accommodate her.

At first, Tina who was a first year student was humble and respectful but within one week of our stay together, she changed completely and became something else.

She stopped greeting me for no justifiable cause and would spend an entire night laughing and murmuring to herself.

I bore it alone and tried my best to patch things up with her but when I realized that her attitude was truly deteriorating and she wouldn't stand the sight of me praying without finding a way of disrupting it, I confronted my friend Nelo and told her point-blank that I don't want to stay with her cousin anymore.

"You're clearly overreacting Amara!

You've only spend just some days with this girl and you're here with truckloads of complaints.

What if she's your own sister, won't you accommodate and find anotber means of calling her to order." She sneered and my anger got the the better of me.

"I think I've tolerated you enough Nelo!" I bitterly cried.

"What the heck is wrong with you?

You coerced me into opening my door to a total stranger and now that she's begining to act up and I wanted her out, you're reprimanding me for trying to secure my peace.

Did you pay my rent?

Why don't you take her to someone else and save me this whole stress?" I countered and furiously stomped away.

Nelo came to my lodge that evening begging for my forgiveness.

All the while she was speaking to me, begging for a few days to sort things out with her cousin, Tina wore an enigmatic smile and continued nonchalantly to paint her nails.

Nelo left at dusk after chastising her in my presence and went as far as commanding her to prostrate and beg for forgiveness but she stared disdainfully at me and continued to paint her nails.

We slept without speaking to each other and that night, I dreamt of demons and goblins angrily chasing after me.

I screamed myself to consciousness and when I opened my eyes, Tina was at the far end of the bed glaring unblinkingly at me.

The room was cold, holding an eerie and mystic air which tried to suffocate me.

I was utterly afraid and felt desperately for my rosary and bible.

By the time I feverishly retrieved it on the ground where it was carelessly tossed, Tina was staring straight into my eyeballs, hypnotizing and sending me back to sleep.

I woke up in the morning with unexplainable scratches and bruises all over my body.

Tina has already left the house and I grabbed my bag and ran out without taking my bath.

Nelo was all surprise when I narrated my ordeal to her, begging her to take her cousin away and she promised to oblige me the following day.

I returned home that evening to meet Tina smiling and talking to herself.

"Amara!"

She started the moment I got in."

"See, make I tell you.

You no fit pursue me for your house.

You no fit at all!

Na me go commot by myself any time I feel like say I don stay tire.

If you try me eh, ah, your body go tell you." She threatened and began to laugh.

I was at lost over her words and simply ignored her.

Because I did not take my bath in the morning, I stayed longer in the bathroom, scrubbing and thinking how I'll chase the ungrateful girl out of my room.

By the time I finished taking my bath and came out to put on my clothes, my heart palpitated and jumped through my mouth for right there on my bed was a huge black serpent slithering leisurely.

LILIANA

ELEVEN

"I know you can hear me Liliana.

You're the cruelest person I've ever come across.

How could you do this to your own mother?

How could you lock me out after the money and time I spent to come rushing down here?

What happened to you? Who plucked out your human heart and replaced it with stone?" Mrs. Elliot screamed from outside where the gateman barred her from gaining entrance into the house.

Lily clutched her heart and wept dejectedly as her mother rants outside.

She knew she did the right thing by protecting her from an unseen assailant who's out to destroy anyone who dared to come closer to her.

She has been forewarned and disclosing her strange experience with her mother is a sure warrant to her death.

From the louvers where she stared, she could see the various packages which her mother came along with.

Lily ardently longed to revert back to that innocent child rallying round her mother, asking unending questions which was lovingly answered by the only person whom she cherished wholeheartedly in the entire universe.

Her mother has been her god whom she adored and worshipped, confiding her fears and wins until she left home to seek a fortune.

As she peered closely at her mother, she felt the sudden urge to run up to her and envelope her in a tight embrace.

To cling tightly and weep out all the pent-up frustration in her shoulders.

As she slowly descended the staircase, determined to dare the devil and lost herself in the ample bosom of her mother, her phone beeped and a message came up.

"Lily,

You wish to end her just the way you ended Phil.

Anyways, go ahead and give it a try.

Larmatine"

Lily was resolute as she regally walked down the stairs towards her mother.

The gateman made way and pushed the gate wide open for her.

Mrs. Elliot was stunned when Lily came out and brutally pushed her out of her property.

She was more bewildered because she was crying profusely and her eyes was trying to communicate something which she could not really lay hands on.

Lily returned to her room and fell on the bed crying and begging her mother to understand the interior motive for her actions and forgive her.

She cried herself to sleep and did not pick when her phone buzzed repeatedly, stirring her.

By morning, she called her travel agent and after making arrangements for her travel, she packed up few things and went into retreat in a cozy hotel where she hoped to be free from the stalker who has made life miserable for her.

Her suite was comfortable with the view of an ocean and the cold and blustery atmosphere offered her the solace she most wanted.

Lily was afraid to venture outside and ordered everything she needed from the comfort of her room.

The waiter who brought her food teased her about her chronic solitude and advised her to have fun by touring the ground and other interesting sights around but Lily politely declined the offer.

She slept and woke up the next day without any harassment from the stalker and her joy was abounding.

She heartily ate her breakfast when it arrived and decided to tour her environment when the male waiter returned to clear the table.

The young man was all smiles when Lily appointed him her guide and she paid heavily to the hotel management for his services.

The young man guided her into a boat which he rowed with amazing dexterity and both laughed freely as the fishes reared up their head to catch a glimpse of the intruders who has come to rustle their peace.

It was a merry tour which saw Lily squealing loudly like a child until the sun turned into a large red ball, forcing them to disperse on a friendly note.

Lily woke up at midnight to see a silhouette of a malevolent man staring angrily at her.

The two locked gaze and when Lily was about to scream, the man smiled darkly and held out something which he dropped on the ground before dissolving into nothingness.

Lily slowly got up and would have swore that what she saw was a figment of her imagination until she switched on the light and saw a little pool of blood on the ground.

Her heart sank when she took a closer look and discovered that what lay in the pool of the fresh blood was a wristwatch which saw in the wrist of her guide the previous day.

Just then, she heard sharp wailings and running feet as doors were hastily slammed.

Lily anticipated what will happen next and when the phone beeped and she involuntarily picked it up, her heart missed a beat.

"Liliana,

I've just cut down another victim of yours.

Remember, our union is sacred and none is permitted to tear us apart.

Larmatine"

LILIANA

TEN

Her eyes misted as she stared blankly at the phone until she felt the presence return once again.

His breathing was harsh and hot on her skin, pricking her nape.

She abandoned the boxes and involuntarily moved back to the bed.

Like before, the silhouette of a hand waved across her face and she immediately fell asleep.

The faceless man was straddling her on the bed, bellowing angrily as he forcefully tore her lingerie before slapping her bare skin over and over.

"Liliana! I'll put a dent to your flawless skin if it continues to draw those street urchins.

My blood boil over, driving me into a maddening rage whenever I see those low lives staring lewdly at you.

You're too beautiful to reside in the same world with them.

You're a goddess and will cross over when the time is right.

I hate it when you apply those makeups which accentuate and made you ravishingly alluring.

It put me in torture for I've to endure till night, to claim what rightfully belongs to me.

Remember the mating mark Lily, it eternally bind you to me" he screamed and continued to brutalize her before thrusting in and out of her.

Lily woke up the next day with splitting headache and her body could boil a pot of water.

She was covered with semen, an occurrence which does not frighten her anymore.

She was mildly surprised to see her lingerie lying across the room, torn into pieces and she could see the bold imprint of fingers on the places she was slapped.

The events of the few weeks were really crazy and she couldn't explain what's going on in her life.

Her mind flew to the gift box of the previous night and when she glanced at the place where she left it, she noticed that everything has vanished in the thin air.

Lily shivered and was too tired to get out of bed.

When the maid gently knocked and walked in to arrange the room and pick up the used sheets, Lily who could barely move a limb beckoned her to get some help.

Towards noon, she managed to eat little and drink the aspirin which the girl bought from the pharmacy.

Even though the girl was being extremely pleasant, Lily was not oblivious of the manner by which she peeped at her, the usual shifty eyes occasioned by fear.

When she was able to get out of bed, she bade the servants never to allow anyone into the mansion and retired back to bed where her mind ran wild about the bizarre happenings around her life.

Lily was neither a Christian or an atheist.

There was a time she usually worship with orthodox church on Sundays but ever since her life took another dimension and she began to swim in the current of riches, she jilted God and concentrated more on building formidable empire for herself.

When her mind drifted towards her mother and she pondered on letting out the humiliating experiences or not, her phone rang, jolting her thoughts.

"Liliana my daughter...is it true? Is this horrible news flying up and down in the news really true?" The woman lamented when Lily picked up the phone.

"Is it a mere coincidence that he died in your office block?

Hope you did not have a hand in his death?" She fired at Lily who was already tongue tied.

The woman went on ranting, castigating her daughter for being mean and wicked towards Phil when he was alive.

"Mom...all is not well with me" Lily queitly replied when her mother has eventually spent her ire.

"You've not been this calm in ages, Liliana" he mother panicked from the other end.

Her words cut across Lily who lost her guard and began to weep brokenly.

She choked and coughed in-between and Mrs. Elliot screamed helplessly, begging her to stop for she would board the next available flight to get to her.

Lily abruptly ended the call and just then, a message popped up in her phone.

"Liliana,

Dare me and lose your mom.

I'll pluck out her heart and hand it to you in a platter just like I did with that boy Philip.

Our marriage must remain hidden and no one should put asunder.

Whoever tries will meet his untimely end in the most savage manner.

The life of your mother is in the palms of my hand.

Just one careless move and I'll mercilessly squeeze life out of her.

Your husband, Larmatine"

LILIANA

NINE

The office block was crowded and people were staring anxiously at a figure sprawled on the ground when Lily arrived.

She saw the Bugatti Veyron belonging to Phil and sneered in distaste.

She has hardly alighted from the car when her secretary came flying towards her, crying and pointing to the spot where people have gathered.

Even though she was hysterical, Lily was able to make out that she was still dreading any closeness with her for she recoiled and scurried into safety when she tried to hug and wipe away her tears.

Lily was dazed and a savage cry tore in her throat when she saw Phil lying lifelessly on the ground in the pool of his blood.

Her heart thuds wildly, trying to flop into the pit of his stomach but the ambulance which arrived shortly denied her the opportunity to process what has actually happened.

The body was whisked off and the security agents in the office block find it difficult to disperse the journalist who has swooped down like a band of vultures scavenging for rotten carcass.

When a little order has been restored, Lily's secretary, Sabine informed her that Phil has come to court her as usual.

He brought along a bouquet of flower and some other gifts which he left in the reception.

According to Sabine, Phil suddenly je**ed up from where he sat and walked over to the balcony.

The last thing she remembered was a piercing scream and when she rushed out to the balcony, she saw the gory image of Phil lying lifelessly on the ground.

Lily was struck over what she heard.

When the police has carried out routine interrogation on everyone working in the office block, Lily wearily returned home.

Phil was a celebrity and the news of his death was making shocking wave in every news outlet.

Lily was disturbed and wandered around her mansion like a restless ghost denied the benefits of funeral rites.

When the domestic servants she requested the previous day eventually came, she readily welcomed them and the task of showing them around and listing their various responsibilities offered her the distraction she urgently needed.

By nighttime when the house has become absolutely still, her fears returned as she envisioned Phil being pushed off from the balcony by an invisible hands.

She felt vaguely responsible for his death.

From the short interview which his bereaved mother has granted so far, Lily was able to gather that Phil was not suicidal but was a young man full of expectations for his life hence he was planning to settle down in marriage before his tragic death.

When the interviewer asked if he was already courting a lady, the poor woman burst into tears and Lily quickly switched into another channel for she could not help the way she treated him all the time he tried to court her.

When she remembered the bouquet of flower and the unopened gifts lying idly in her officeβ€”the very last attempt he made at wooing her, she shuddered and began to make plans to go on a retreat for the press will soon swoop down on her immediately they learnt about their bitter relationship.

She couldn't gag her dismissed servants from speaking especially when they are offered a pittance thence they must be nursing grudges on the unethical manner she fired them.

She couldn't imagine the disastrous effect the entire thing will wrought on her career if it somewhat leaked out thus she began to make plans to lay low before the insatiable press comes knocking on her door.

After making arrangements with her travel agent, Lily put on a seductive lingerie and was about to retire to bed when she felt a domineering presence.

She could feel his hot breathe on her skin thus she instinctively closed her eyes in anticipation.

Her eyes snapped open and the presence disappeared when she heard a gentle rap on the door.

As she put on a bathrobe and opened the door, the maid who looked like a frightend mouse curtsied and handed her a wrapped gift box which the gateman brought over.

Lily took the box from the girl and went back inside where she carefully opened it.

Inside the box was a folded paper and a smaller sized box.

Lily was sweating profusely as she brought out the small box and hesitantly opened it.

Inside was a red fleshy tissue and when Lily touched it, her fingers returned bright red with blood.

Her heart hammered away as she wondered who would send over an uncooked meat as gift.

Her eyes flew to the paper which she quickly picked and unfolded.

"Lily!

Glad you've received the heart of that feeblish intruder who tried to contend with me.

I'm a jealous lover and no one ever comes closer to what belongs to me.

Do not weep, this is just the beginning.

The same fate which befell Phil is waiting for another who'll ignorantly poke his head.

You can cook and enjoy the meat!

Larmatine."

It does not matter the size of the mountain, it may seem extra large and insurmountable but keep your eyes on the man of the cross.

Just like Moses raised the serpent in the wilderness and those who were obedient enough stared at it and was healed, so is the son of God raised on the pole for all of us.

The journey of life is not easy.

There are many depressing issues around us as humans but only our focus on the cross will save and deliver us.

I therefore beseech you to ignore the distractions and fix your eyes on the cross.

Your breakthrough, success, blessings and all that you sought after will surely come from there.

I bless your day in the name of Jesus Christ, go forth and be fruitful.

You're blessedπŸ™

LILIANA

EIGHT

Lily was trembling badly as she felt a dark presence hover around her.

Her hairs stood at end while bouts of goosebumps rippled through her body.

Like a somnambulist, she walked towards the bed and the droplets of water which followed from the bathroom trailed behind her.

The familiar scent wafted in the air once again as she wearily sat on the bed.

Her phone beeped almost immediately.

"My queen!

Why are you looking so restive?

Aren't you supposed to welcome your husband cheerfully whenever he comes demanding for his conjugal rights?

I'm a jealous lover and wants my women docile.

After all, I allowed you to have enough fun before the consummation of our union.

You're mine Lily, forever mine and the mating mark on your slender neck has placed a lid over everything.

As for my presence, you'll get used to it and only then will you truly enjoy the love I professed.

Larmatine"

Like the previous night, a hand seemed to wave over her face and Lily grew drowsy until her eyes closed altogether.

She saw herself mingling with highborns in a cocktail party and a mysterious man whose face was concealed was shepherding her.

Lily drank a substantial amount of red wine for her male chaperone readily endorsed it.

The party metamorphosed into a wild o**y in which people lost their manners and indiscriminately indulged in sexual immorality.

Lily was the belle of the party for all the men tried to know her carnally.

When she eventually snapped her eyes open, it was fully dawn and the alarm she set on her phone was ringing repeatedly.

She was overly exhausted and the bed where she lay was covered with semen.

As she struggled to get out from bed and prepare herself a breakfast, a loud banging sounded on the door.

It came over and over and thinking that the domestic servants she ordered the previous day might has come for interview, she hurriedly ran to the door.

When she threw the door open, she saw no one but a sealed gift box designed with a pink ribbon was lying on the doormat.

Lily hesitantly picked up the box and that was when it came to her that she has secured the lock of the entire building when she came back yesterday.

From the doorway, she peered at the gate and noticed that it was still securely locked.

Her heart beats pitter-patter as she went back to her bedroom with the box.

Her hands shook badly as she tried to pry the box open and when she finally succeeded, a familiar scent wafted in the air and lingered when she found the brassiere and panty she wore the previous day inside the box.

Lily was aghast for she has dumped the un**es inside the laundry basket which sat in her bedroom when she set out to take her bath the previous night.

As her thoughts ran wild over the eccentricity of the whole situation, her phone rang startling her.

It was the police chief and when she picked up the call, the man briefly informed her that she has forgotten her bracelet in his office when she came over to bail her domestic servants.

Lily was struck dumb for she has never left the confines of her mansion ever since she woke up.

She swiftly drove to the police station and to her greatest surprise, she saw one of her expensive bracelet sitting idly on top of the desk.

The police chief wrinkled his nose and stared away when Lily began to rant, explaining that she did not come to the station earlier and neither did she order the release of her domestic servants.

The police chief stared at her as one would gaze at someone running nuts anew.

He brought out some papers which he pointed out to Lily and behold, it was her signature which ordered the release of the servants.

Lily stomped out of the police station seething and when she got to her car, she grabbed her phone and dialed her mother but her lines were switched off.

As she was about to toss the phone to the back seat, it rang and the hysterical voice of her secretary boomed, urging her to abandon whatever she's doing and report immediately to the office.
