PART 14
"ONCE UPON A TIME "

Carol had looked at her niece as she wondered what had come over her. Why did she want to enter what she desperately wanted to get out of.

" Shush! Redemption ...Don't ever say that again. Witchcraft is not a good thing. People who are in, want out. Witches are bound to go to hell"

" Aunty, I am already in hell. My life is over!"

" No, it is not over, instead it is beginning. It is time to show the world that your beauty is not what defines you, but your brain and your personality." Carol said as she removed the hoodie Redemption was using to cover her head.

" Aunty, are you going to help me or I should go elsewhere?" Redemption asked with an angry tone.

Carol was in a dilemma, it was her turn to bring in a new initiate, it would have been a thing of joy if it was someone else, but her niece was the one who was about to fall victim.

" Redemption, I can help you but I don't want to help you because, it will end in tears for you. You may successfully hurt this person who hurt you, but more than that you will be hurting yourself. You will become the enemy of the creator."

" The creator didn't protect me, so why should I care if I become his enemy " Redemption replied

" Maybe you broke the hedge!" Carol replied

" Which Hedge?"

" We humans remove the creator's hedge of protection around us when we willingly commit sin."

" What sin did I commit to make God permit my friend to disfigure my face?"

" You should have the answer to that, not me" Carol said to her. She wasn't omnipresent to know whatever she must have done...

" It can't be because I slept with Nnamdi on that day?"

" Oh! You slept with Nnamdi, not even the Somadima that caused you this?" Carol said. At that point she realized her niece was not the innocent child she thought she was ...

" Redemption, evil doesn't just happen to people, God never leaves people, it's people who leaves the creator behind... You left the creator, and that gave evil the chance to get you. "

Redemption maintained her silence...

" Since you are not a saint like I thought, I will help you become a witch."

Like someone hit by a rushing wind, Redemption felt herself transported to a dark place. The air of that place was so thick Redemption felt she could grab it...

" Where are we?" Redemption asked in fear. She thought she knew what she was getting into but reality made her mouth suddenly go dry in fear.

Redemption felt the presence of other people but the place was so dark she couldn't even see her own skin.

" Aunt ..." Redemption was saying but Carol shut her up.

" Silence!"

Redemption waited in silence. The Silence that took forever to end...

The beating of drums intercepted the silence, but instead of the sound to ease Redemption's anxiety, it tripled it. The sound of the drums were dreadful.

After about five minutes of anxiety, a voice that sounded like the voice of child said ..

" May all the witches and Wizards of the night be seated and the uninitiated remain standing".

Redemption knew she was to remain standing.

The initiation took only about 15 minutes with her saying a lot of vows.

Thereafter, the childlike voice said...

" As a gift for your initiation ask for one thing you would like us to help you with"

" My friend burnt my face, and she has run off. I want her to face rejection, hatred, unacceptance, bad luck everywhere she goes."

" It is done"

******

Rachel laid on the bed wondering why she was always seeing Redemption in her dreams all these years.

If only she knew that though they were far apart, Redemption had her way of finding her wherever she went.

Redemption stood in the room unseen by Rachel. Through her monitoring eyes, she had seen that Rachel was about to find help.

" Never!"
