MY LIF£ AS AN UPCOMING ACTOR BY IGWE epi 2

I was so scared, i tried to run but everywhere was so dark and i can’t even see where to run to. They keep on approaching me and i walked like a blind man to the back of the block that was packed there.
I hide there but my eyes were on those people as they were coming.
When they got to our gate, their light were off and they were murmuring. I tried to get what they are saying but

unfortunately i couldn’t because of the distance they’re.
I heard a sound when they jumped inside our compound through our fence.
For those that’ve been to the village,
you normally know how village fence use to be.
” who could be those people? What do they want to do in our compound?” i asked rhetorically.
There are some period of time, you’ll be in the darkness and it will seems as if moon is shining and you’ll be seeing gradually.
I moved to our fence and jumped in.
My aim was to know who they’re and what they came to do. I started moving forward gradually but i didn’t know the exact direction they followed.
I got closer to the orange tree that was in our compound.
I climbed untop of the orange tree to wait for them because if i continue moving forward,
i might meet them unknowingly and they may wound or kill me bcos i don’t know their mission that night in our compound.
I spent almost 30mins untop of the tree waiting for them but i couldn’t see them.
I came down from the tree and went to our backyard with a weapon i found beside the orange tree.
Please, don’t go after thief with an empty handed or he’ll kill or wound you,
because when you caught a thief, at that point, what’ll be in his mind is,
either he die or you die. Our people said that, before you can fight a strong man that
you yourself have to be strong.
When i went to the backyard, i saw them as they stood still with their hands on their chest. They were two men. They were speaking some languages which i don’t understand. Should i even call it an incantation or what?
I was statued, i tried all i could to know if i’ll discover who they’re but i couldn’t. My body started vibrating and i stepped back.
” should i go and call my father? I asked myself. I stood there for a while and tiptoed to my father’s window and called him with a low voice.
I told him to come out with his torch and machet,
that they are some people that entered our compound.
I also told him to off his torch so that they will not find out,
that someone is outside. My father was indeed a man for coming out.
There are some people that will never come out if they were to be in my father’s shoe that night, because
they will be thinking that the son who ran away will harm them.
My father snicked out to where i was.
we went to the backyard and they were still there.
My father flashed his torch on them and
we couldn’t see anybody there. We were amazed, my father told me to follow him and i followed him with force to where they stood before. My father was an action man so he ran around our compound with the machet and i was
running after him. We couldn’t see anybody, so my father took me inside.
Omo if u see a kin of cold wey catch me that time wey we notice say,
those people na ghost. My body just dey vibrate like over used generator.
My father went out again with his matchet and torch. I was awake till morning.
In the morning, my father called me and asked me what happened last night. I told him all i knew last night.
Let this sounds as a warning to some of us who’re good in sending his house help or children away because of some mistakes they did.
And do not allow your child that ran away at night just because you want to beat him to remain there, because ghost are roaming about.
After that day, i continued following my friends to a building site.
After three months, i bought an application phone. Facebook was the latest social network then, so my friend helped me to create an account. That was how i started using facebook.
One day, i saw an advert on facebook, where they were advertising one movie academy so i copied the phone number that was posted there.
I called the number and spoke with the director of the academy.
” enter bus from Awka>to>ifite>to>commissional’s quarter.” he said.
The next saturday, i went there with my friend Stanley. When we got to the area, i called him and told him that am in the commissional’s quarter. He told me to wait for him there. We stood there as we’re waiting for him.
Few minutes later, four guys approached us. That area was a school campus{unizik campus}.

To be continue.
