THE UNION novel Chapter 21

Gboyega sits beside a sleeping Richard, he wondered what he could do while everyone was busy, he felt guilty for not coming out to help while in the Gok house he could have prevented all these he thought to himself. "What do I do now?" Gboyega had been sitting in the room for over 30minute, he tried calling Ayo's number but it wasn't going. He heads off to Papa's office to look for clues while searching he sees a strain of hair in a ziplock and picks it up. "Essence." He reads out the title written on the ziplock.

"What is going on?" Linda says as she walks in angry and confused, nothing made sense to her since she had met Abayo, she wanted to do some digging by herself but didn't know where to start.

"I can......." Linda interrupts Gboyega.

"I'm confused, are you a criminal? Why are almost all your friends dead? I know you don't want me around even though I thought coming will be fun but at least explain to me." She sounded stressed, she was about to crack. Linda clearly hasn't seen things like this before.

"Fine, you'll need to sit down for this." Gboyega says as he pushes a plastic chair to Linda.

"I've heard a lot of crazy things but this one is so strange." Linda said, she was shocked after Gboyega explained everything to her.

"I could have defeated Mr and Mrs Mind if I was there, this is all my fault. The best I can do now is find some clues." Gboyega keeps the ziplock in his pocket, he had founc nothing else since he had been searching, Linda phone vibrates.

"It's Abayo, we exchanged numbers while we were playing games." She quickly picks the call, at first all she could hear was telling and music sounds but later on she perfectly hears Abayo he sounded so stressed and disturb, he said some few words and quickly cut the call. "Abayo said he is in trouble." Linda says.

"Shit, that kid is suppose to get materials for finding Papa." Gboyega bangs a table beside him really hard, he was frustrated.

"He needs our help he told me that he was in a club called Bounty. We could save him maybe that will fill in the guilt you're feeling." Linda was worried about Gboyega, she didn't like the way he looked and talked he was at a point of breaking down.

"You're right, I'll get my car key." Gboyega says. After awhile they both quickly rush into Gboyega's car the club wasn't far from Papa's house, Gboyega had hope he could do something and not screw up. "Thanks for the help Linda." Gboyega says as he starts the car engine.

"Yeah, this will give me some time to explore the world." Linda leans toward the window of the car, exicted to see what Abuja looks like.

"Huh?" Gboyega asked, curious to know what's going on with her.

"Will you listen this time?" She said sarcastically.

"Try me." Gboyega exhales and turns off the engine of the car.

"My aunt never allowed me outside the house, she never even allowed me to do anything always said my powers were dangerous and other bullshit. I had to beg to come here hoping to try new things out." She faces her head down ashamed.

"Hey, don't let anyone tell you your powers are dangerous, you were born with them and they make you powerful." Gboyega says as he pats her shoulder, he starts the car engine and zooms off.

This place is so amazing!!!!!!!!!" Abayo screams at the top of his voice, he was having fun at a club filled with different people partying, Abayo was slightly durnk he had never done something like this before in his life, he felt like staying here forever just drinking, partying and not worrying about his future to take over his father's position in the cult. Abayo gets dragged by someone from the center of the party, he feared that he was caught be the people he was running from but upon turning around he sees that it's Gboyega and Linda.

"You dummy, why did you call us when you were only having fun?" Gboyega was confused and pissed, he prayed Abayo had a good explanation.

"Sorry, so while I was getting all the materials needed to find Papa I had to go to different unique places like Tharka forest, Tumland fall and witches zone but upon getting to the witches zone I was caught by some witches stealing..............." As Abayo was going on, Linda interrupts him.

"Why did you steal?" She asked, she was enjoying the mission but to her suprise she didn't like the idea of being in a club, she had heard good reviews about it online but she couldn't handle being stuck with different people she didn't know.

"The material I stole from them was needed to find Papa, they've been haunting me." Abayo explained, at first he sounded frightened but later on he wanted to head back to the party, Gboyega spots three women wearing hoods that covered their face.

"Isn't that them?" Gboyega says as he grabs Linda hand and steps back.

"They are alot of crazy things in this club, I'm sure it's one........" Abayo turns around to look and quickly shivered, he hides behind Gboyega. "It's them."

"Linda, take Abayo to the car. I'll handle the witches" Gboyega said firmly, he wanted to make sure nothing goes wrong with the plan. Linda and Abayo run out of the club, she breathes heavily.

"Why were you even in a club partying?" She shouted at him, pointing out that he was irresponsible.

"I don't know, I called you while I was standing outside but the sounds got louder and I just went inside and lost control of the person I was told to be." He says confused about making such a silly mistake. Minutes later everyone starts running out of the club, the whole street was packed with different people, everywhere was disorganized some screamed about seeing witches floating up in the air and a fire god battling each other. Gboyega quickly runs toward the car.

"Let's go." Gboyega shouts as he runs inside the car, Linda sits in the front while Abayo rolls into the back. He starts the engine and zooms off from the club. "Those witches are clearly bad bitches." He says and exhales out, a foam of fire comes out of his mouth, Abayo was sensing something strange, it didn't feel right so he quicklt turns around and sees the witches following them.

"The witches aren't gone, they are following us!" Abayo shouted.

Gboyega, Linda and Abayo get to Papa's house and rush inside, Gboyega slammed the door shut gathered different furnitures and pushes it toward the door hoping they have few time to do what they need to do to figure out where Papa is. "This won't stop the witches from getting in." Abayo says as he gets really worried and scared.

"You have a better idea!" Gboyega shouts at the top of his voice.

"Figure one out, you're the adult. I don't want to die." Abayo says and sits on the ground crying. Linda moves toward him to comfort it.

"You need to get up Abayo.........." The door and furnitures suddenly explodes knocking the three down, the witches float inside the house
