THE SACRIFICE
Chapter 8
Elvis what is happening? What is Dominica doing here? What am I even hearing,talk to me Elvis.. Geraldine screamed at Elvis whose mind was somewhere else
Am talking to you Elvis.. she shouted
Elvis jerked,he held Geraldine’s fingers and caressed them
Please take care of our daughter when I’m gone..He said slowly
What do you mean? Geraldine asked raising her brows
I’m sorry.. Elvis said
You have been acting weird this days, what’s the problem..
Elvis looked up and tears fell freely from his eyes
Geraldine became scared, she ran outside to call Barnabas but couldn’t find him
She ran inside to meet her husband but couldn’t find him, she searched everywhere but couldn’t find him
I was with him seconds ago, Elvis please answer me, your wife is calling you.. She cried
Tonia came in, she looked at Geraldine and hissed
Your husband has accomplished his mission and I think he is gone.. Tonia said
Accomplished what mission? What are you talking about Tonia?
Erm,I think I saw him leaving but he will soon be back.. Said Tonia
But you just said he has accomplished his mission, what mission are you talking about? Geraldine asked
Tonia turned and left the room to avoid further questions from Geraldine
Sophie, it’s remaining five days for the sacrifice.. Choice screamed as she imagined Elvis stabbing her daughter
Mum,why does he want to use me for the sacrifice, his wife and daughter are available…
You caused all these.. Choice said
How? You…
Don’t exchange words with me,why will you allow Elvis to sleep with you?
Calm down nah! Dad is in the parlour… Sophie said pinching her mum
Shut up, you’re always behaving like a fool sometimes I do ask myself if I am your mum.. Choice screamed
I don’t like this mum, you’re shouting and I won’t be happy if dad comes here..
Choice hissed and sat back on the chair, she gasped and turned to Sophie
We must get that pot today,get ready…
Mum! Must it be today?
Yes Sophie.. Choice replied
Sophie’s phone rang,it was Geraldine
She hesitated to pick the call,her mum collected the phone from her and picked it
Sophie I can’t find Elvis, Elvis,yes Elvis
I can’t find my husband… Geraldine cried over the phone
What do you mean? Her mum asked
Mum as I’m talking to you now Elvis is nowhere to be found,mum please come over
Come with daddy,tell daddy that his daughter is loosing it.. Geraldine cried
When last did you see him? Geraldine asked
Mum I was with him not less than an hour here, suddenly he started acting strange as usual I ran out to call his brother when I came in I couldn’t find him again.. Geraldine said
Choice looked at her daughter, her daughter looked at her
Okay,we will be there shortly.. Sophie said
This is an opportunity to get away with that pot..
Mum I think we should leave without daddy,we can call him once I get away with the pot.. Sophie suggested
I think that’s a good idea, please dress up…
Where are you heading to? Sophie’s dad asked looking at both women
To the chapel.. Choice chipped
Chapel? On trouser? He asked pointing at Sophie’s trouser
She’s not going with me, she will stop at the market to get some stuffs.. Choice lied
Oh! Sophie when are you going back to your husband’s house? He asked further
Sophie has been avoiding that question for weeks now, she dropped her phone on the couch and sat down to face her dad
Dad we ain’t together again.. She said
What happened?
Dad can you imagine, Barnabas cheated on me with my friend Dominica I had to leave the marriage.. She replied
Okay, that’s good,you have a very great sense up there..he said pointing at her head
Yes dad,I just have the type of yours, like father like daughter…
Her dad smirked,he unlocked his phone and played a voice record where Choice was yelling at Sophie for sleeping with Elvis
Sophie and her mum opened their mouth widely, Choice covered her mouth with her palm,an evil thought came into her mind immediately ?
