Chapter 19
Day 17/18
The objects floating on air spiced more fear that caused Frank to diffuse in hot sweat.
His eyes were protruding and wide open.
Julie was going to release her grip on the objects but her emotions were in full brim, she didn’t know a ghost could actually feel this until now.
“Julie put them down”
Jack whispered through his clenched teeth, his eyes still on Frank who tightened the frown on his face.
“Jack, who are you talking to?”
The cushion dropped to earth first and prompted Frank to leap in fear; next the dinning table, and then simultaneously every other object were calm to earth.
“Jack, you…you are into ritualism?”
Jack was getting fed up with all the ideas popping in Frank’s brain.
He rolled his eyes to heaven before he spoke out.
“Frank listen to me”
He stood up but Frank was quick to hold up his hands to halt him.
‘Stay back…don’t move”
He took the next minute before he voiced out.
“Jack you’ve gone mad”
“No Frank listen…”
“No no…Jack, are you telling me this is normal? objects! Objects were floating on air Jack! There were flying!”
The sound of his lips and wave of his hands were perfect demonstration.
Jack knew Julie had to show herself to Frank, it was the only way.
“Julie?”
Julie who sat watching both men shook her head in disagreement to his idea.
“No way Jack”
“Please, he has to see you, else he won’t believe me”
Frank slowly took his step backwards, trying to find the door with his hands swaying backwards.
“Jack, who are you talking too? Jesus…”
He was almost at the door when Julie became visible; and with a smile she called out.
“Hello Frank”
Frank froze for a minute or two before he stuttered out
“That’s… Thats Ju…Julie”
No one was giving a satisfactory reply so he fathomed it was actually her ghost.
“Oh, it’s…it’s her ghost”
Jack nodded now.
“I told you didn’t I? You didn’t believe me”
“Oh I do now bro”
“Frank you are shivering”
Jack couldn’t believe he was the one saying that now, he felt proud somehow.
“Or am I? Am not, am fine”
Jack laughed now.
“No bro, you are nowhere fine”
“Jack stop it am fine”
Frank wanted to prove strong now. He adjusted his polo and tightened the Jean. He thought wise to stand properly to face both human and ghost.
He was going to say something else when Favour appeared to grace the scene.
“Alright Jack, it’s time”
It was just as Jack had presumed, Frank lost balance and passed out.
“Oh come on Favour, not again, see what you’ve done”
Favour noticed Frank stretched out on the floor now.
“Who’s that?”
“My friend”
“What? Your friend? What is he doing here at this time?”
Favour was harsh because she knew what was about to happen.
“Hello? I didn’t bring him here, he came on his own, for a friendly visit, that’s what friends do, they…they see each other!”
Favour was not ready to waste another minute.
She mind controlled Jack to stand before her.
“What are you doing? He is gonna die if we do nothing!”
Jack was shouting on top of his voice while making his point. Julie was a little lost in the scene, but there was something she could do about it.
She took Frank in her arms and blew a mild breathe on his nostrils… He jerked back to life and resolved to his shell of fear the moment his vision became clear.
“Jack, Its time, the moon is full”
A chair was mind controlled and Jack was placed to sit, quickly Favour held his head with both hands, she was able to access Just a scene before Siera barged in with a force of a few ghost.
Favour was thrown off balance; Julie brushed off to the dinning; Jack was held up to the ceilings; objects in motion, Frank passed out again.

Chapter 20
Day 19
Jack was trying to tame the fear bubbling within, but it was not working this time…favour took front to try and convince the wild ghosts at Siera’s command but it wasn’t yielding results.
He was scared for Frank, scared for Julie and for himself.
“Stay behind me Julie”
Julie was scared but she couldn’t help the mild laugh that escaped her mouth.
“Jack, it’s best you stay behind me”
She whispered back and without hesitation he bought the idea.
“What did she promise you all huh?”
It was favour trying to negotiate.
“The gatekeeper would definitely slash you all to dust so why do her biddings?”
Siera chuckled and did the talking for the team.
She looked quite achieved with the few army around her, the whip within her grasp was another advantage.
“You see my dear Friend, these ghosts has been promised 3months to roam freely without interruptions. You know this is an opportunity every ghost would jump at”
Siera made perfect sense, it was obvious she didn’t come to be reasoned with, she came for War.
“Siera what did I ever do to you?”
Julie questioned from behind, she was trying to understand why Siera was hell-bent bent on seeing her wiped out of existence, maybe she had done something to hurt her. Although she knew that all her life, she has done everything within her power to see that Siera had the best.
“Nothing dear, I just hate you, hate your guts; I hated the fact that you were more successful than myself…that’s all”
Julie was going to charge at Siera but Favour was there to stop her.
“Alright Julie let’s think, and Jack it’s either you fight or die”
Jack joined the crew immediately.
“What we are after now is the hit spot”
Jack tightened his grip on the mop stick he found just beside the threshold leading to his bedroom.
“Sorry for butting in but what use will that mop stick do?”
Julie had to ask, although she felt it was inappropriate now that Favour was trying to come up with a plan
“Julie would you listen?”
“Ok sorry”
“Hit spot is the cause of death…look to the tall ugly one. You see that large scar on his forehead? That’s how he died. Hit that and he is gone”
Siera was done waiting now, she fathomed they were diversifying ways to beckon for leniency.
“You, get Julie”
She had 4ghosts at her disposal and fortunately for Favour, it was the ghost she needed as a sample. She snatched the mop stick from Jack’s shivering hands, broke it in two and smashed it against the hit spot; immediately he dissolved to dust.
“That’s how it’s done!”
“What the…kill them all!”
Siera gave the charge; immediately the room went dark, whirlwind took over and blew off the roof top, the lights went off, objects scattered to different directions… Jack was after the safety of his friend. He made sure Frank was in a safe corner before he tried to join the fight. Sadly one slap from an angry ghost sent him metres in the air and caused a blackout.
He took another hour to regain himself and noticed Siera tied up with strong rope.
“Where’s Julie? Where’s Julie?”
“I’m here. All good relax, I can see how you fought for me huh Jack”
She was making a fun of him now but he had another thought in mind. His eyes got to Frank first…(he was still unconscious) and then all around his torn apartment; with his hands on head he muttered.
“Jesus christ, what do I tell my landlord?”
