Am Samson. A high school student, final year, 18 years old. And this woman right here beside me is Cynthia, a very stubborn girl, attractive, well packaged but stubborn. Am one hardworking, coward, selfish citizen.
Way home. (walking)
Cynthia has been blabbing how school was stressful today.
Cynthia: you know? I keep thinking of how to deal with max, that guy is an asshole, how dare he beat you when am not around. I mean.....damn...... , oh he is fucking dead. Am gonna make sure I tear a piece of him.
I am busy holding an ice on my cheek, cooling the pain, my face is all bruise, I was beaten blue black by a guy named max. That guy is a bully.
Busy arranging books into the locker.
Max: Hey weirdo.
Sam: (scared) What?

Sam: scared) Am sorry, I'll get it by tomorrow.

Devil: Don't look at me, I only made a suggestion.
Max: What the **** did you just call me?
Sam: ***.................Hole!!!!!
The rest was history.
I should have gone for the right mind decision.
Angel( right mind): and they always regret.
How I wish I am stronger more than he is. How pleasurable it will be seeing him kneeling in front of me begging for.............
Cynthia: Sam, Sam, Sam, SAAAAAMMMMMM!!!!!!!!
SAM: ( hold my ears, the ice fall) oh, the ****. WHAT?!!!!
Cynthia: are you listening.
Sam: To what? Oh sorry, I was not paying attention. Damn, my ear.
Cynthia: that guy got you good, don't worry, I will get him for you tomorrow.
Sam: why do you have to fight for me. Am a man I should do it myself.
Cynthia: I know, I know, but till then let me keep doing it for you.
How we met, shit, it was surprising, some guys were after me, (why are they chasing me?) (good question. Back to the top) . Am just a gentle guy going, minding my own business, I don't know why and what happen to me that night, mum send me to get egg for her and on my way back, these guys start calling me names, like pussycat , **** head, all sort of bad name, I thought of going but I decide to be a man. AGAIN
Sam: shut the **** up, you imbecile balls.
Them: what did you say boy.
The next thing, Some hungry lions(mens), with cutlass, cricket bat and other thug weapon want me dead, I ran till I can no longer run again, I saw a path, when I tan in, I discover it's an old building garage , they caught up to me,
Them: hehe, you are so fucked,
Sam: (I fell on my knees) (tears running down.) please, no, forgive me, I still have a mother, my mum only has me, am begging please I won't do it again. Last warning please.
Leader: We know you won't do it again, but let make sure it stays that way.
They were about to beat me to death, I close my eyes.
Then I keep hearing beating sound, like some one is been trashed. Like serious trashing. I open my eye, I can no longer see them, I only saw a single lady and that lady is the girl beside me. CYNTHIA. FUUUCK. Of all people why will she be the one. Am curious about one thing, how did she beat a bunch muscle head dudes. She never tells.
Present.
We reach home, my home, threw the ice back away.
My house is located in the middle of nowhere, Almost like a forest not too far to the city. We don't have the money to buy lands so we found a small area and build up with planks, it's not a fancy one, Just a house built with used planks And some old tree. God am poor.
I only live with my mom, dad died when I was 10 years old, he always struggled to make us live well, sometime he will bring home some food, told us he has already eaten. After eating he would ask if we are okay, yes was our answer. Then lead me to my room, tell me some story till I fall asleep. Later in the night, I could hear some arguments from my parent room, then I realise dad never eat anything since morning. He later develop ulcers. and how he died. It was disaster😢. There was a day he was looking for job , some kidnapper apprehend him and ask for $50,000,000 for his realeas. We can't afford a place for ourself, where can we see that huge amount. They did not understand that language. Dad was later found in the river with multiple cut and gun shut😢. May his gentle soul rest in peace. Since then I and mom have been working hard to finance ourself and my education. I have some petty job which I do to keep the well-being going. That's pretty much the story of my parent. I never once forget the man's face, someday, just someday, I will get him for papa. People like him live long.
The load of work got me the glass am using. Yeah I can't see well. So am using glass.
In front of my mum house.
I keep staring at her (Cynthia). (facing down)
Cynthia: why are you staring at my boobs. Are they that big.
Sam: what.... hmhmhn (clear throat) okay, thanks for the escort, but as you can see, no one can come in to beat me or whatever. I'll see you tomorrow. Bye.
I went in.
Sam: mom am home.
Coming in from the kitchen. Which was outside behind the house.
Mom: oh my darling, how was school today.
Mom smile was different this afternoon. She just keep smiling.
Mom: so why don't you introduce me to your friend here.
Sam: friend? ( I turn my head around) what the? Why....... Oh never mind. Mom- Cynthia. Cynthia - Mom. Happy?
I went straight to my room, just a space that contain me and my little luggage. lock the door. After some second I heared a gentle knock.
Sam: who is there?
No answer.
I open the door
Cynthia: why do you lock the door.
Sam: Cynthia, it's my room.
Cynthia: and so.
She force her self in.
Cynthia : wow it's look wonderful I love your room.
Sam: You love my room full of holes?😒 i mean wow, you are so generous.😒
She stare at me for some sec then burst out laughing.
Sam: (serious face) its not funny.
Cynthia: ok,ok.am sorry.
I sat on the math. Checking out my assignment. One more thing, I am not too brilliant or too intelligent nor am I too stupid.
Cynthia: do you think my *** look fat.
Sam: I will just pretend like I never hear you say that.
Directly at my ear.
Cynthia: does my *** look fat.
Sam: for **** sake. (calm) Cynthia, am a guy, you don't say such thing to a guy like that, it make us uncomfortable.
Cynthia: you mean it turned you on.
Sam: yes Cynthia, exactly.
The rest of the day was horror. Finally she left at night.
The next day, I woke up did my chores, dress up, straight to school. School was horrible, different guys keep bullying me, and Cynthia keeps them away from me. Am such a looser.
Going home.
Today was horrible. Well every day has always been horrible for me.
Cynthia : when we get home I will help you sow your shirt.
Sam: thanks. But you have done enough.
We....... I mean, I had a horrible evening with her. She just keep hurting me sexually. .
In the night.
Mom: Can you get me some sugar.
Sam: silently) ohhhhh, (loud voice) yes mom.
I check her box, nothing's like sugar.
Sam: Mum I think we have run out of sugar.
Mom: oh, please can you get some for me in the city.
Sam: now? Look at the time.
Mom: Okay, let's make it tomorrow.
Sam: (sigh) don't worry I'll get it for you.
I collect the money, went straight to the super market, on my way there I saw a strange bat with a bright red eye on a tree, Looking at me, am surprised to see a bat standing like a normal bird. I stopped by, looked at it for some sec.
Sam: well, it is how it is. (walking away) As long as you live long, you will see wonders. (I moved on)
On my way back, I saw the bat again, I just keep moving on, before I reach home, I saw it again.
Sam: Wow, I've never see them but tonight this things are many,
When I get home, front door, I saw it on the roof. Staring at me.
Sam: what are these.
I walk in, deliver my errand, went straight to my room.
Sam: good night mom.
Mom: have a nice dream.
Sam: sure.
Enter my room, close then lock. I lay gently on the mat ready to sleep, turn off the Candle. Opposite me is my window and its open, the wind blowing the torn clothe I use as curtain here and there, suddenly I saw the bat again by the window. Looking straight at me with is red eye.
Sam: What the?
It flew in, I was scared, I sit up on my mat, the bat keep hovering on me, I keep waving my hand in the air to keep it away from me, it land on my shoulder and bit my neck bit me.
Sam: Ouch.
it bit me so hard and refuse to let go until I grab a book, hit it several times, then it let go, everything was silent, I reach for the local lamp turn it on, found it on the floor.
Sam: what the ****.( Breathing heavily)
It's a weird looking bat, I have never seen before. What kind of specie is this.
Knock knock.
I opened the door.
Mom: son are you alright.
Sam: am fine mum.
Mom: are you sure, I hear some loud noise coming from.... What's that on your neck.
Sam: nothing mom, It's Just some crazy bat disturbing me but it's all cool now.
Mom: Are you sure.
Sam: don't worry mom, am fine, good night. Get a good night rest.
I don't know where the courage come from but I was not bothered about the mutant bat. I picked it up and threw it out of my window. I scratch my neck before I went to bed.
Morning.
I woke up lazily, do half of my chores, walk to school late, got bullied again, school not fun. The last lesson before the school close.
I was so tired which lead to sleeping in class.
Teacher: Sam, Sam, wake up Sam.
Sam: (looking up) Father?
Teacher: who is your father, Get your *** up.
Sam: oh sorry, (rubbing my eyes)
Teach: stand up,
I stood up,
My class mate began to laugh at me, some called me ***** silently, I look miserable, my life was quite silent today cause Cynthia was not around and I did not know her house, I would have go there to see her. On my way home, the bullies came again.
Max: hey weirdo, where do you think you are going.
Sam: home?
Max: these fucker is going home with my money.
(I borrow some money from him some days ago.)
Mucus began to drop from my nose and I keep snifing it back wiping it with my hand.
One of max guys: gross
Sam: look, I'll get you your money tomorrow. Am not feeling good.
Max: that's not my problem, give me my money.
Sam: I said I don't have it. Am tired I'll see you tomorrow.
They began to move toward me.
Sam: look guys am begging you, I am not feeling well, I'll see you tomorrow.
They began to beat me all of a sudden, when they are done, I could not lift my arm, I could not say a word.
Max: I want my money tomorrow.
I closed my eyes, Slept off
Night:
I woke up and was able to gather a little energy, I stood up, began to go home, the guys I offended the other day saw me.
Mad guy: hey *****, where have you been, I've looked......... Geeez dude what wrong with you, your face, who did this to you.
I keep moving, not a single word came out of my mouth.
Mad guy: alright, we will leave you this time.
Almost home.
Some guys saw me with my bag, they thought I have something in it.
#: hey, drop your bag.
Sam: what?

They move closer to me, then hit me once, I faint.
When I woke up, I found my self by the stream, my body has heal, I rubbed my face and it wet I looked at my hand it's bloody,

I move to the stream to wash my hand and my face, after that,
The sun came up. I stood up, run home, knock, mum drag me in. Hug me

Sam: me too, umm, okay mum, I need to dress up fast, am late.
Mum move away and I dash into The room, took bath, dress up, rush to school. When I get there, my face began to blur, I remove my glass wipe it, it's still blurry, I remove and the world is clear, my eyes were so clear, it's like 4k ultral, I walk into the class, No lectural yet. sat down, The front sit is Cynthia, she look at me from the front sit, I stood up from my sit walk to the front, hug her, she looked at me with surprise.
Sam: what's going on, you missed class yesterday, what happened
Cynthia: nothing much, it's not trouble.
Sam: sniffing Cynthia) Wow, you smell somehow. Didn't you take a bathe?
Cynthia: Okay, I think you are acting weird.
The bullies came.
I don't know what came over me. But I feel like I can do anything, everything, anything at all.
Max came up to me. Cynthia wanted to stand up for me, I stood up hold her back.
Max: where is my money.

The whole class: hoooooooo, damn
Max: allright, I see you got balls now. I won't repeat myself, where is my money, (frown his face, getting serious)

He decide to slap me, I held his hand.
Sam: dude, I have not said anything.
His minions try to hit, I caught the first one slam him on the desk, it broke, The second decide to push me toward the ground, he was not able to do so, he was surprised, I was also surprised, I shine my teeth, kicked him off hitting the board, he hold his back. I grab max neck, I feel like I can lift him up, I did so, and he look so light,
Sam: you should eat more, feels like you are nothing.
Threw him off destroying some desk. The teach came in, I sat down,
Teach: what's going on in here. (He took a glance at Max). Max you again, detention now, and call your parent.
Closing time.
Cynthia: what's going on with you today.
Sam: like what, am fine, perfectly fine.

Cynthia: you have completely change. She look at the mirror she could only see her self, then she smile and ran out. I heard the door close, after pulling off my things, I look around, could not find Cynthia,
Sam: where did she run off to.
I sat down, Think of what happened today. I was so exited, I stood up for myself. Wow. And I beat them up with no stress. Yep, Cynthia is right, something is definitely wrong with me. And its a good luck.

On my way back, I pass an alley, I heard some noise, I went back, walking in the alley, I saw something strange, it's a demon no, a devil, I don't know. It's eating an animal, no a human.
