💯 SHEBA 💯
Episode 21 (Unedited)
FINAl STRUGGLE
Maya’s POV
My spirit had left my b©dy to l@yon the be-d lifeless.
It felt extremely tough getting out of sleep, everyone in the palace was un-der a spell, everyone was going to sleep like a dead pig.
I dashed straight into my spirit, we have had few dialogue and I knew that something was happening downstairs.
I rushed out as I descended the stairs.
A h0t combat between Sheba and black witches, my mom was also a witch.
That didn’t even bother me as much as Edward’s swollen b©dy, I rushed at him holding him to myself.
He was lifeless and swollen.
I looked up at Sheba, she was in the air aiming at something behind me with her arrow.
Like a flash, the arrow blazing with fire pas-sed the side of my face, narrowly leaving my face unscratched.
“What did you do to my brother?” I yelled at her, my nose raised.
She grinned and pointed her f!nger to my mom.
“Ask her” was what she said.
A witch was burning into ashes in the large sitting room, I was lost.
I looked from one person to another trying not to pour down my tears.
“You’ve done enough” The oldest witch cried as she c@m£ forward and attacked Sheba.
I watched as they s£nt powers to each other, growling and screaming.
I sat next to Edward, hoping that he would say something.
“Bastard” Sheba hissed as she constantly fired three arrows at the woman.
I watched with a wi-de-ned eyes, the old woman was so strong, she still stood on her foot mumurojg incantations even though an arrow burnt the rest.
Then, she fell.
Like a giant iroko tree.
“Dear, mother in law” Sheba started as she walked towards the two terrified women standing in the space, my mother and another witch.
Piammm, the other witch vanished leaving only mom behind.
“Just like I expected” Sheba breathed as she gr@bb£d my mom by the hand.
“You know why I wouldn’t kill you?” She grinned devilishly, twisting her wrist that I had to frown at her.
“Just do everything I want and you’d not die, I promise” She grinned.
“re-lease everyone, the sleep is too de-ep” She commanded, then I realised mom had put us un-der a spell.
She pushed her forward and held an arrow to her skull, asking her to oblige or die.
With total surprise, I watch my mom perform the magic of removing the spell she had casted on us.
“Mom, so you’re a witch too?” I cried.
“A bad witch, she did that to Edward” Sheba announced.
I flin-ched.
“What?” my eyes bulged.
“Dear white witch, your mother knows who you’re from birth and she even used you against your brother” Sheba announced, holding the arrow firmly as if she was going to s£nd it straight to mom’s skull in a second.
“Loose him” Sheba yelled, a yell that s£nt me shaking.
Then, mom began to cry.
“I can’t, he has gone far” She said.
“Far to where?” I shouted, running to tear her with my nails.
“What did you do to my brother?” I cried, tearing every p@rt of her.
“Maya” Sheba shiutred, calling me to order.
“11:45pm, we have only 15minutes to save our husband and brother or forever forget him” Sheba said.
I put my self together, if not for anything, for Edward’s safety.
“Tell us what to do or die” Sheba sniffed.
The Queen went on her kneels and bowed.
“Kill me, I’d never tell you” She insisted.
“What?” I and Sheba choroused.
I snatched the arrow and sh0t her in the tummy. She winced.
“Die, die mommy” I changed, tears flowed with my words.
“Maya, what….. What have you done to your own mother?” Sheba cried, her hands on her mouth.
I shut my eyes as her b©dy began to blackened, the disgusting look of it made me cry more.
Then, I remember my brother, I lurched at Sheba and asked her to do something.
“I don’t know, If I know a solution, I’d have just done it since” She sincerely said.
I looked up at the clock, 10 minutes left before his 30th birthday.
10 minutes left for us to correct a life time mistake.
I dashed upstairs, I didn’t even know what I was going to pick there, I just went into my room and mixed everything I knew could work.
I rushed out again hoping that it just work.
“What’s that?” Sheba’s cracked voice asked.
I held the calabash above his head as I responded ” 7 different powders from seven different worlds, this is all I know”
I emptied everything on his head, my heart beating fast, I sli-pped my palm into hers and she squee-zed it, sweating and mumuring words.
Then, he shook like a rat thrown into a pool of iced water. It was a spirit in him and it vacated his b©dy.
“Where the hell is it heading again? We should have left the door open” Sheba panicked as the spirit in form of smoke and bubble ascended the stairs.
“Oh, no” Sheba cried again.
I looked up, I was actually on my kneels checking Edward’s pulse when I heard her cry.
Remi was descending the stairs and she c@m£ in contact with the spirit.
We watch as she shook like a leaf, rolling like a ball of garri down the case.
I ran towards her, trying to see if she was breathing.
She was dead, cold death.
“Dead” I confirmed to Sheba.
She exhaled as she turned to see how Edward was fairing.
“Sheba” A voice had called softly but strenly.
I stood up, she did same.
I thought the old witch died, she was very much alive and she boldly stood up like nothing had happened.
“You old rotten thing” Sheba gro-an ed.
I looked as she pu-ll-ed another arrow from the wall and fired it to the woman’s direction.
She caught it with her bloody palm instead and before we knew what was happening, she threw it back to Sheba and it went de-ep straight into her right eye.
“Shebaaaa” I cried, running up to her as she went down trying to pu-ll the arrow which went real de-ep into her.
“I saw this $h!t, I should have knew it would happen” She gro-an ed in pain as she pu-ll-ed it out with all her might and it c@m£ out with her right eye, the whole of it.
I slummbe-d at the sight, she crawled to pick up a torn shi-t and used it to tie the eye.
Then she stood up to the witch again.
I admire her courage, I joined in the war.
Firing everything I knew at the woman, she was so strong. She must have been a witch for years that most of the things we did only made her staggered and she was back firing at us.
And, I went upstairs again, pas-sing beside dead Remi’s b©dy, I cut a piece of my hair and burnt it on a burning candle.
Back to the sitting room, I left the candle in a plate and the smell choked her.
I watch the smell of my hair s£nd her to the grave she has refused to go.
😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻
Edward’s POV
“I’d sl@p you, don’t t©uçh me” I yanked my hand off me as I stretched my n£¢k for the next nurse to harras-s.
In three years, a lot had happened.
Mom was dead.
We had to do a lot of explanation concerning Remi’s death.
The greatest black witch of all time died in our sitting room.
Sheba lost an eye.
Maya had a set of female kids alre-ady.
Dad is free, I swear I almost said he wasn’t my dad, he was so strict.
Laiza has refused to chose another Eswa since three years.
I am alive and free.
Sheba had refused to let me t©uçh her not to talk of getting her pregnant.
Since she lost an eye, she saw herself as garbage. She just stayed indoor and refused to even sit on her throne.
We sle-pt with back turn on each other, she even acusse me of infidelity when I did no such thing.
Finally, she “Mistakenly” got pregnant.
Here we her, expecting the princess for the past on week.
I have been roaming the hospital with Maya and she was beginning to frustrate me with “Calm down, she’d be fine”
Them, a nurse c@m£ walk-running.
I blocked her and asked after my wife, she refused to say anything as she ran off.
*
At the end of a week, she was discharged still pregnant.
I was dead worried, three hospitals have rejected her and called the case “special”
I mean, what’s so special about wanting to birth a baby? Her water broke and she was confirmed to have dilated really well but the baby never c@m£. Worst still, more than five scans said there was nothing in her wo-mb. Just like that?
She had done all necessary treatment during pregnancy and all scans saw a BBG.
“Sheba, what do we do? You’re scaring $h!t out of me” I wiped her forehead.
She smiled.
“I want water, cold water” She said.
I jumped out of be-d to get it for her.

Sheba’s POV
I went un-der the duvet sweating, I was n-ked.
I p@rted my legs and did the pushing by myself. I have been in labour for over one week, I knew it would be this ha-rd , everything with Sheba was just ha-rd .
“It’s not done that way, breath in very de-eply, you don’t have to yell, remember you’re a tigeress” She set the pillow for me and help me sit up.
I watch her go for the door and bolted it, witch, I hate her so much, she had left me to enjoy one eye, she spoilt the beauty in me.
I had no time to yell at her, I just wanted to have this stubborn girl.
And, I didn’t remember if I pushed though but my child cried and Laiza picked her up after separating the cord.
“Sheba, baby are you okay?” My husband’s voice echoed.
He has been really trying, very loving and caring. Just that, I feel like he deserves someone with two eyes most times.
“Give me back my eye” I attacked her, still lying down there and not feeling a pinch of pain.
She looked at me as she blessed my crying daughter.
“Learn to live without it, I didn’t take it, it was you who sacrificed it”
Without asking me anything, she went into the shower and returned with a well bathed baby. I watch her go round the house like she use to live here with us.
“Honey, did you have the baby on your own?” He asked, his voice pleading for an answer.
“We’d do something to your eye, maybe later in the future. I still can’t find a woman like you, the space of an Eswa is still empty, I am so add!çted to you and I can’t just let you go” She said as she wore my baby diaper.
We remain mute as she did all the dressing for our child then, we heard heavy clanks. She stood up and pressed herself to the wall. But before she left, she said
“Sheba, you’re a victorious woman”
“Holy $h!t” Edward screamed when he was welcomed by my well spre-ad legs, blood in between my th!ghs and a well dressed new born beside me.
Thanks for re-ading with me
