Inyoka: The Snake Goddess TWENTY
Eve “What is your relationship with him?” Inyoka asked as she came into cell moments later after I had gone to figure out what I had done. “Zach?” I asked her back not even bothered about how condescending she sounded towards me. Besides, I was tired of being asked the very same question from everyone. “Him,” Inyoka replied as she placed her hand on the cell door, “What is about you that draws him to you? I want to have it,” She opened the cell, “Tell me, and I shall release you,” I raised my brows as I stared at her in unbelief, “Who the hell are you to think that you can decide when I can be released? Does it look like I am desperate to walk out those doors?” I glared at her and then burst out laughing. Inyoka was unhinged as she squinted her eyes at me, “I see… you don’t like him. He told me that he does,” I was bewildered, “He said that?” Inyoka nodded with a sigh, “He did, but I am glad it is not reciprocated which means I still have a chance. You see, he caught m
Inyoka: The Snake Goddess TWENTY ONE
~EVE~“You owe me,” Inyoka walked up to me suddenly and said. “I want you to repay me now,”My forehead furrowed trying to think of where she was coming or going with this, “I don’t owe anybody, rather they do the owing, I don’t know what you are talking about,” I said boldly walking away from her.“Then I shall have your throat slit, maybe you will remember what you owe me,” Inyoka threatened and I came to a halt and turned to her.“Look at me,” I said to her as she eyed me from the ground to my head. “I am a slave! You wanted me to serve you right, that is what I am doing,”“And what makes you think serving me is enough not to have you beheaded?” Inyoka asked.I dislike this so much, the fact that I am willing to pretend I can’t go up in battle against her. The fact that I have to keep myself on the law because I am in a world I have no clue of.“Fine,” I surrendered, “How do you want that I repay you?”“Nice we are on the same page,” Inyoka smiled showing that she had won this roun

EVEI waited for the anticipation to grow so heavy that his hunger to know became insatiable. I had to reveal it to him, which means, just like Raghul’s ancient grand father knew, he must also swear on a blood covenant.“I—” I started off as I looked at him. I had a sly grin on my face to show my unseriousness. “I am Eve Faye, a writer of children's books that has been sold in over 59 countries, and that is it,” I said so innocently in my attempt to mock him.“I already know this,”“Oh, you do? I guess that is all there is to know then; do have a wonderful evening.” I tried to walk away, and then he blocked my path.“That night you murdered that old woman; you had a purple fog surrounding you; there were snakes on the floor; your hair wasn’t black as it is now but white; and when you turned, your eyes were translucent,” Zach explained. My body shivered because everything the oracle said was coming true. “What are you?”I was quiet.“Say something,” Zach calmly coerced me. “If it's som

~EVE~I was barely doing any of the works that were offered to me, as they were done in pairs. I allowed my other half to handle them. The poor man didn’t complain much as well. I made sure he didn’t.“I have been looking all over for you,” I said, approaching Raghul, who was busy tending to his assigned place.“Well, you haven’t been looking well enough,” Raghul replied as he lifted a sack and placed it over his shoulders.“I have been meaning to tell you something,” I said, bringing me to a glowered stare.“What is it?” Raghul offered a tired tone, like he knew where I might be heading with this.“I came here all excited to tell you some good news. I don’t want you to have that tone with me; it makes me feel like you belittle me. Don’t forget, I am who you serve, not her.” I responded, feeling saddened by what Raghul was reducing me to. We used to be so close, but now he is more distant than ever, and I have become worried over this.Now more than ever.“I am sorry, what is it? Te
Inyoka: The Snake Goddess 24
This was a known ritual, and I couldn’t allow it, though I accepted that there was nothing that could be done to stop Zach from being tied around her charm. Inyoka moved around Zach as she surrounded us both. I held Zach's face and said, “Listen to me, you are going to die.” I started off with nothing wrong with being realistic; there was no saving him unless Inyoka had another plan, and as she has taken form, I wouldn’t know exactly what she had planned. “How dare you disrupt me!” Inyoka screamed at me; immediately, she grabbed me by the shoulder and threw me out of the water. I regained my stance, trying my best not to fall. I had simply had enough; it was wrong what she was doing, and now I won’t allow it. Also, I don’t plan on overexerting myself; Zach was a simple human, so this isn’t for him in anyway. “My love,” Inyoka said, trailing her sharp finger on Zach’s body as she tore off what he had on. The crazy part was that she touched him with her bare hands, and nothing hap

It really rendered us helpless, as she pushed me aside and took Zach from me. “I shall have you at all costs, my love,” Inyoka stated as she again tightened Zach and suppressed him.I was furious and didn’t think properly as I took off the coverings on my hand, found her tattoo again, and placed my hand there.“What are you doing?!” Inyoka panicked as she dropped Zach and held me by my neck. My inyoka was instantly pacified, and it was just me in my normal state fighting for my life, not like I planned to keep it.“Killing you,” I said as I continued to hold on to her tattoo, allowing it to burn deeply even as she tightened her grip on my neck.“Fire,” I said as I sniffed the air.“What?”“Something is burning.”“My people,” Inyoka said as she dropped me down and ran to save them. I quickly went to Zach; he showed a bit of consciousness as I took him with me.“Come on, wake up, you dumbass.” I shook him repeatedly. If we do not escape now, we might just never have that chance again.I
Inyoka: The Snake Goddess 26
“Now we are on the same page, we need to discuss on the time we should kiss, I am thinking morning, afternoon and evening, that is if you are down for it,” I said oblivious of how this relationship thing worked, we weren’t in any sort of relationship still.I made him speechless as Zach chuckled at my Innocence, “Do we need days or time to kiss? I believe we can do it anytime, as long as you want it,” he dragged me closer, “Even now,” he said in a whisper.I push him away, “Pleqse be serious, I don’t intend on us being together though I don’t hate the idea, I am simply objecting to it,” I said plainly as I tried to explain for his better understanding.Zach took it with a nod, “No strings attached, you mean?”“Right! We are on the same page,” I reacted and Zach shrugged, “I am fine with whatever you choose,” he said as his smile faded.As we approached the village, almost all of the huts had engulfed in flames.“Where have you two been?” Mark asked immediately he saw us, I left it for
Inyoka: The Snake Goddess 27
EVEThere was a sudden shift; it was as if the world sped quickly before my eyes and went fast forward. I was back in the plane, sitting beside Raghul; it was just as if all that I had witnessed didn’t just happen.“I don’t think we should be traveling with a baby,” Raghul said beside me as he held Gavin with him.“Mhmm,” I replied, and my face showed a bit of confusion. These days, there are just things I don’t understand anymore.I know I have been warned to be wary but wary of what?The Inyoka herself? I already met her and it didn’t seem like she did much or is it the next Inyoka who has already been born to take over from me?What is even going on?It was very concerning, but then my attention drifted to the announcement that was made on the plane about us making a landing and how they couldn't go on due to bad weather conditions.I looked over at Zach and Mark, who were seated unbothered. Of course, I wasn’t expecting either of them to remember anything, but they were all there,
