THE SACRIFICE Chapter 10

THE SACRIFICE

Chapter 10

Please Dominica

Please don’t do this to me, okay I’ll confess.. don’t drop it,I’ll confess.. Sophie screamed as she held her mother

Confess what? Choice shouted, she covered Sophie’s mouth with her palm

Mum please confess, let’s confess mum, I don’t want to die..

Dominica sat down, she still held the pot with her palm

Confess we are listening.. Barnabas said

Don’t mind her, she doesn’t have anything to say.. her mum chipped

Please I want to see my husband, please I want my husband.. Geraldine cried

Your husband is coming Geraldine,calm down..Her dad assured

Dad where did he go to? Where did my husband go to?.

Dominica got tired of sitting on the chair, she stood up

She lifted the pot up and was ready to damage it when Elvis came in

It’s time. Elvis said

Time for what? Time for what Elvis? Geraldine shouted as she jumped on him

Time for the sacrifice…..

What sacrifice? Barnabas asked

What sacrifice? Sophie’s dad asked

I thought Barnabas said you’re a ghost… Geraldine asked her husband

It’s a long story..he replied

The sacrifice should be in four days time Elvis, what are you talking about.. Choice said looking around

Barnabas tell them how you and choice poisoned me.. Elvis said

Barnabas? Dominica called

Choice did not me.. Barnabas denied

He did not me.. Choice denied as she trembled

What sacrifice were you talking about Elvis? Sophie’s dad asked

It’s complicated, Your wife and Barnabas tried to kill me.. Said Elvis

How? Geraldine asked

I’ve been sleeping with Sophie for reasons best known to me,I hope my wife forgives me

Reasons best known to you?

Elvis what are you even talking about? Geraldine asked

Calm down.. Elvis said

You have been sleeping with my sister for how long now Elvis? Geraldine shouted

Elvis what are you talking about? Sleeping with me for reasons best known to you? Are you really a ghost if I may ask? Sophie asked

Not really! He replied

I never had any sacrifice in mind tho.. Elvis added

Not really? Does it mean you didn’t die? Does it mean we buried a moulded Elvis? But you lied to us that you’re a ghost, that’s why I asked you to marry Geraldine instead of Sophie.. Choice said

You poisoned me, let’s assumed I died,do I look like someone who is willing to help you destroy your daughter? But why would a mother want to destroy her own daughter,you just want to see the end of Geraldine.. Said Elvis

Keep quiet! Choice shunned as her face turned red

Please I just want to drop this pot and get the f**k out of here.. Dominica barked

Please Dominica don’t do this, please don’t I beg you.. Sophie pleaded

Confess! Geraldine said

I will,I will but please hand over the pot to me.. she cried

I can’t unless you confess…

Sophie confessed how she killed Geraldine’s triplets

Dominica threw the pot on the floor with anger, Barnabas fell down followed by Choice who screamed loudly

Sophie stood looking at them helplessly, she glanced at them for awhile and fell down

She stood up and started laughing, removed her clothes and started dancing

Elvis you have been sleeping with my sister, how come Barnabas knows about the pot?

He saw the pot the first it was brought in here,let me say he knows about it.. Choice said as spit gushed out of her mouth

She was gradually turning to an imbecile

Barnabas stood up,removed his clothes and joined Sophie

Dominica couldn’t fight back her tears “They used themselves for sacrifice” She murmured

I’ll have no other alternative but to live as a single mother… Dominica said, she went in and packed all her belongings and left

Elvis apologized to Geraldine till no avail

Her dad begged her on Elvis behalf till she accepted

Sophie gave birth on the street, she died alongside with her daughter

Barnabas was picked up by an elderly man who used him as a sacrifice

THE END ?
