The devil who loved me - Chapter 87

I was hoping our guy had won, then I heard Eli’s unmistakable laughter…

Eli : Tanatolo…Tanatolo…I know say you dey hear me…

He started knocking on the door of the rooms…

Eli: come out!…

I started praying to God…I was shaking like a fish out of water..

I heard him break open a door; he wasn’t the only one from the foot-steps I heard. Then he broke another door..mine was next….

I wanted to call Jafar but Eli would have heard my voice…

He broke open the door…

Eli: Tana…I know say you dey inside here…na your bag be dis…come out of the bathroom!

I started sobbing…

Then he broke open the bathroom door…

Eli : Ahn..Ahn…princess like you come dey hide inside bathroom…

The gun he was holding was the biggest I had ever seen. The shades he was wearing made his look even deadlier..

Me: Eli…please…don’t hurt me…

Eli: that time don pass…

He leveled the gun at me…

Eli: pull your clothes..

Me: no!..

I didn’t know a human being could be so fast, his smack crushed my face..

Eli : Jafar don dey give you mind abi?…i say make you pull your cloth, you dey do shakara?

The gun was laying useless by my side…

I pulled off the shirt, leaving me with my bra and panties…

Eli: chai…you go sweet o…after I fvck you…I go waste you…

Me: Go to hell!

I tried picking up the gun again, but his leg was faster..kicked my dropped hand…

Eli: pull your pant!

Me: No!

Eli dropped his gun and dragged started trying to drag down my panties..i tried to poke his eyes but he moved his head at the nick of time..He slapped me hard!

Jafar: Eli, stand up and raise your hands..

The only person more surprised than I was, was Eli…

He turned slowly, his gun was on the floor..but he didn’t raise up his hand…I quickly put on Jafar’s shirt…as I attempted to run to Jafar, Eli pulled me back and held me in a death grip…

Eli: Jafar…drop your gun…except you wan kill me and Tana together…

Jafar didn’t lower the gun, but Eli started moving with his hand around my neck. He kept me infront of himself as he faced Jafar…As he stepped forward, Jafar stepped backward until we got to the parlour.

There were two dead dead guys lying awkwardly on the floor..

Jafar: Leave her…and I will allow you go…

Eli: you dey see me as mumu abi?

Jafar: you have my word..

Eli: oya drop the gun and I drop the girl…

Jafar: deal…

Eli smiled…

Jafar: leave her first…

Eli: throw your gun on the floor first..

I heard sounds of cars pulling closer to the building. Then it was pandemonium outside…gunshots everywhere…

Eli: I change my mind…E be like say my people don show….Tana goes with me…

Jafar: I go shoot you for here…

Eli: you no fit try am…and you know…

Using his back, he dragged me outside…

Uche’s Hilux was on the driveway…two of Eli’s people were on the sandy floor…gun shots at different parts of their body….Uche was also on the floor..his top was soaked with blood..Eli guy was standing close to him, his gun was pointing at Uche’s head…

Eli: hehehehehehehehehe….i too like my people!

Jafar was alone, defenseless against this beasts…

Eli: change of plans, throw the gun here…kneel down…I promise say I no go kill Tana, but I go kill you…

Jafar’s shoulder dropped…

Me: Jafar…don’t…

Jafar: I have no choice…

I started crying….Eli pulled me closer and ran his tongue along my neck..

I gave up as Jafar threw his gun to Eli…

Eli : I win….you lose…

Eli bent down to pick the gun, the event that followed happened in less than 3 seconds..

Jafar brought out a gun from the back of his trouser. It must have been held in place by his belt but covered by his shirt. One shot rang out that drilled a hole in Eli’s head…his brain matter splashed over my legs…The second shot hit the guy over Uche on the chest…it brought him down…

I sat down on the floor and screamed. Jafar walked up to the guy and shot him on the head…lying infront of me was Eli…the gun-shot had forced his eyes and tongue to bulge out…it was a terrible sight..

Jafar came back and carried me to Uche’s Hilux… He also assisted Uche inside, I didn’t know if Uche was dead or alive, but he was motionless and must have lost a lot of blood…

Jafar: I am taking you guys to the hospital…I hope he makes it…

I didn’t bother to answer him…in my head they were all the same..Jafar, Eli and Uche…

I just wanted to disappear..
