DIARY OF A COLLEGE GIRL:

WHEN EVIL LURKS

EPISODE 5

The house was really impressive.

It looked like one of those big mansions owned by millionaires. The walls were raised high and the gates were automated. There were CCTV cameras at every conceivable angle, which meant that the security detail or whoever was inside would view whoever was at the gate through the CCTV cameras and press a button for the gates to open.

There were two big gates for cars to go through and one small gate by the side for people to go through.

We ended the Uber trip and paid the driver.

Anne walked over to a panel of some sorts. It was for entering keys, most likely a code to open the gate. She began pressing the keys. I was just about to lean on the gate when I heard Anne shout:

“Stop! Everything has electricity running through. You’ll be shocked to death.”

I immediately stepped back in fear.

Anne finished typing in whatever she was typing and the small gate opened. “Come on,” she said.

Although the house was very beautiful, there was an eerie aura surrounding it. We walked in and I gasped. The compound was beautiful. It had a beautiful garden on the right side with all kinds of exotic flowers. Behind the flowers I could see a few trees with apples and strawberries.

I wondered when those fruits had started growing on Ghanaian soil. There was a canopy for cars with a BMW X6 and a Toyota Land cruiser Prado parked on the beautifully tiled compound.

I asked Anne if her aunt lived here with her family. She replied in the negative. They were actually based abroad and this was their Ghanaian vacation home.

The exterior of the house itself was magnificent. The design was very exotic. Beautifully painted with a colour somewhat between cream and white, it had two pillars rising up to the roof of the house.

There were two floors, and the windows had tinted sliding glass frames which made it impossible to see what was going on inside the house. The first floor was lit with a yellowish colour that seemed to be coming out of flames.

I reasoned that the effect was caused by chandeliers, and up on the roof was a chimney or clock tower. It really wasn’t one of the houses I usually saw in Ghana even though I came from a well-to-do home.

We entered the house and well, let me spare you the details of the exquisite interior. Imagine your dream house. Now, multiply it by fifty. That was how the place looked like.

Everything seemed golden.

The furniture was obviously imported, and it really was a great display of wealth and affluence. There were uniformed men and ladies moving around performing chores who I concurred were servants.

Seeing so much wealth on display made me feel uneasy.

Anne had never come across as someone who was very rich and severally, she had borrowed money from me which I had forgotten about because I felt her family wasn’t so well to do. I snapped out of the thought and glanced at the clock on the wall.

9 p.m.

“Anne, let’s get Mari so we can get going,” I said with some unease in my voice.

She led me into the living room where Mari was playing PS4 on a television screen which looked like a chalkboard.

Mari was shrieking and laughing hysterically.

I giggled to myself and immediately went to pull her up.

“Mari it’s okay, you can come back tomorrow,” I said with a chuckle.

Mari immediately pushed me away with a scream of fear.

“Who are you?” she yelled in an abysmally loud screech. “Madam! Madam!” Anne walked in and Mari rushed to hug her.

“Madam she wants to take me away,” she wailed.

Anne hugged her and spoke gently.

“No one will ever take you away. We’re family now. You can go back and continue playing.”

Mari yelped happily like a well-fed dog and went back to her game.

I stared in confusion and walked up to Anne with puzzled fear on my face, obviously.

“What’s this?” I asked.

Anne simply ignored me and began walking away.

I followed her down the hallway and she stopped in the doorway of a room. “Come in Princess,” she said.

At that instance, her voice changed.

It was seductive and alluring. It sounded like a voice I had heard before. I followed her inside the room and my knees went weak.

The room was four squared and had red curtains on every wall giving the inside a bloody look. On each wall was a picture of a naked girl with red blazing eyes and long red fingernails.

In the centre of the room was a pot with a red substance which looked like blood in it. There was a whitish dust sprinkled around the pot and my picture lay in the whitish dust.

I looked at Anne in fury.

“What kind of sick joke is this?” I yelled. “You better let me out of here.”

She ignored me.

I steeped and turned to leave and heard her voice.

“Stop!”

I suddenly remembered where I had heard the voice from!

The snake-like lady from my dreams! Just like in the dream, my body stopped. I turned to look at her and she smiled at me.

“Don’t worry Princess. You’ll be glad when you become a part of the family,” she said.

She began to dance around the pot whilst chanting.

At this point, I was terribly afraid and turned to run away again but it was like I was glued to the spot. She stopped dancing and glared at me.

“Stop trying to run!” she said ominously. “You have already completed a phase of the process. You have eaten with me and bathed with the water from our land. Very soon, you will be initiated into the club.”

It finally dawned on me.

Anne was in a cult and was trying to recruit me.
