Chapter FAWMUS
As the guy, Adewale, Adetutu, and uncle James journeyed in the car, the guy was the one driving, Adetutu was next to the guy while uncle James and Adewale at the back seat, there was silence in the car as everyone all glance at each other. Adetutu broke the silence saying ″can we all just stop glancing at each other and talk″.
″Talk about what? I still don’t trust this guy″ said uncle James.
″I trust him, uncle, and you should too. I don’t know why you don’t want to trust him but I feel he can be trusted″ said Adetutu to uncle James.
″Well, I don’t. We don’t even know where he is driving us to″ said uncle James to Adetutu.
Adewale didn’t say anything in the car cause he was perplexed on how come both the guy and Fawrus looked just like him.
Adetutu said to uncle James ″Who cares, at least he is not trying to hurt us″.
″Please don’t talk to me again″ said uncle James to Adetutu, angry that Adetutu is taking sides with the guy.
Adetutu looked at the guy and asked him “what is your name?″.
″Am sorry. I don’t quite remember my name because my summon was very fast when I was supposed to be sleeping″ said the guy to Adetutu.
″Erm..... what does that mean?″ Adetutu (confused) asked the guy.
″I was not supposed to be awake in this lifetime or even be here. But thanks to Fawrus, here I am in the land of the living″ said the guy.
Adetutu still finds what the guy said confusing and hard to translate into something reasonable. Adetutu said to the guy ″I still don’t understand what you mean″.
Uncle James said to Adetutu ″what is there to understand? He just thanked Fawrus. He is working with him don’t you see that″.
″Uncle, would you please stop seeing him as Fawrus’s subordinate? He saved us and Adewale confirmed that ″ said Adetutu to uncle James.
“Which may be part of Fawrus’s plan to trick us so we can trust him. And you seem to be making the plan work cause you already trust him” said uncle James annoyingly to Adetutu.
″I thought you said not to talk to you again″ said Adetutu to uncle James, then the guy said to Adetutu ″you can help me remember my name if you touch my head″.
″Why does she have to touch you before you remember your fucking name″ said uncle James annoyingly to the guy.
″It okay, uncle, am not complaining″ said Adetutu to uncle James.
Uncle James was surprised to hear Adetutu say that and said to her ″are you really going to touch him? What if something happens to you when you touch his head″, not okay with Adetutu touching the guy’s head.
″Relax uncle, nothing is going to happen″ said Adetutu.
″Are you going to let her touch him″ said uncle James to Adewale, but there was no response from Adewale.
Uncle James looked at Adewale and was surprised to see he was lost in thought. Uncle James tapped Adewale and he regain consciousness of his surrounding, then uncle James said in disbelief to Adewale ″where have you been? You were not even listening to all what is going on. How can you be lost in thought with someone that might be the enemy is driving the car″.
Adewale calmly asked uncle James ″what is it, uncle?″.
″He wants Adetutu to touch his forehead″ said uncle James to Adewale.
″If Adetutu wants to let her touch him. We can trust him he won’t hurt us″ said Adewale.
″It’s okay, Domien if you don’t trust me in this lifetime″ said the guy to uncle James.
Adewale and Adetutu were both surprised to hear the guy called uncle James the same name Fawrus called him. Adetutu asked the guy ″you know him?″.
″Yeah, why won’t I? Domien has done a lot for you guys in different lifetimes″ said the guy to Adetutu.
″You heard him, right uncle? He also called you Domien and he said you have done a lot for us, which means we are not the only ones with lost memories″ said Adewale to uncle James.
″He is only dragging me into this with a stupid name Domien which I know it’s not mine. This is all Fawrus’s plan, can’t you guys see that″ said uncle James to Adewale and Adetutu.
″He doesn’t want to accept he is Domien and that he is also a god″ said Adetutu to the guy.
″No. Domien is not a god. He is an immortal human that is linked to you and Leo″ said the guy to Adetutu.
″Link to us? How?″ asked Adetutu asked the guy.
″I can’t tell you right now because to talk about Domien we have to talk about you both, and since you all lost your memories there is a lot to talk about″ said the guy.
″Can you tell me how you and Fawrus are me?″ Adewale asked the guy.
″That will also involve a long conversation. Just know this, Fawrus is dangerous and a monster beyond your imagination″ said the guy.
″He may be lying about all this so we can get to trust him and caught us off guard″ said uncle James to Adewale and Adetutu.
″No, uncle. We only know little about what going on and who we are. Even our past lives and how you are part of this are unknown to us. We need to know everything and he seems to know it all and not trying to hurt us″ said Adewale to uncle James.
″Okay, but I just can’t trust him. And when he betrays us don’t say I don’t tell you″ said uncle James to Adewale.
″I understand you but still, you should trust him. That’s all you need uncle″ said Adewale to uncle James.
″So can I touch him now I want to know his name″ said Adetutu to Adewale.
″Sure you can″ said Adewale.
″Touch my forehead with one of your fingers″ said the guy to Adetutu.
Just as Adetutu touched the guy’s forehead, she saw a vision of her calling him Fawmus. Adetutu quickly removed her hand from the guy’s forehead surprised at what she saw.
Seeing Adetutu’s facial expression Adewale asked Adetutu ″What happened?“.
″I...I just saw me calling him Fawmus″ said Adetutu to Adewale and uncle James.
Adewale and uncle James were confused to hear that then the guy said to Adetutu ″yes, you gave me that name.......″, and paused cause he the felt presence of Fawrus close to them.
Fawmus said “he is here”.
″Who is here?″ Adewale asked the Fawmus.
″Fawrus″ said Fawmus.
Adewale, Adetutu, and uncle James were scared to hear that. Uncle James said ″you must have led him to us″.
″Enough of your ranting and nagging, Domien″ said Fawmus with anger to uncle James.
″I knew it. He is.....″ said uncle James.
Uncle James was cut short of words as he suddenly was unable to open his mouth to talk cause Fawmus mute him with his power.
Adewale and Adetutu saw uncle James struggling to talk but couldn’t open his mouth. Adewale asked uncle James ″what’s wrong, uncle?″.
Uncle James couldn’t talk so he had to point at Fawmus then Adewale asked Fawmus “what did you do to Domien?“.
″I had to mute him. He talks too much″ said Fawmus.
Adewale and Adetutu were surprised to hear that then Adewale said to Fawmus “you mute him? You are just calling for more trouble”.
″Wow. You have a cool power″ said Adetutu to Fawmus.
Uncle James got angry and tried to talk when he heard it was Fawmus that muted him but couldn’t and that was making him mad. Fawmus said to Adewale, uncle James, and Adetutu ″I need you all to put on your seat belts″.
″What about him? Would he understand″ Adetutu asked Fawmus if uncle James would understand what Fawmus just said since he has been mute.
″I didn’t mute his ears″ said Fawmus, then they all put on their seat belts.
Adewale asked Fawmus “where is Fawrus?“.
“I don’t know for sure but he is around” said Fawmus.
Fawmus still driving looked in his side mirror and saw a big trailer truck driving toward them at speed, and that the trailer truck hit any car that stood in its way. Fawmus knew it was Fawrus then he accelerate the car making it run faster. As Fawmus accelerate the car Adewale asked him ″what’s going on?″.
″I want you to take a looked back″ said Fawmus.
Adewale, Adetutu, and uncle James all looked back to see the trailer truck destroying cars in its way and Fawrus in it, and they all became frightened and then look front back. Adewale said ″he is destroying the car in his way. Isn’t he afraid?″.
″Why will he be scared when there is no one that can stop him on this planet? Now sit tight because It’s about to get rough″ said Fawmus to uncle James, Adewale, and Adetutu, then unmute uncle James.
Uncle James felt he has been unmuted and said with anger to Fawmus ″don’t you ever mute me again or I will kill you”.
″Do you want me to mute you back, Domien?″ Fawmus asked uncle James, but uncle James gave no response.
Fawmus overtake many cars to get away from Fawrus while Fawrus just hit all the car that stood in his way on the road, and that got the attention of the polices. Many had to park their cars on the roadside and some jumped out of their car to prevent themselves from being hit by the truck trailer.
The way Fawmus was driving was so rough that Adewale, uncle James, and Adetutu weren’t stable in the car even with the seat belt on, they had to hold onto the car. Uncle James shouted scared ″I hope this guy doesn’t drive us to death″.
″No. He is trying to save our lives″ said Adewale to uncle James.
Two police vehicles approached the trailer truck from the right and left sides. Two policemen were in each car, one in the driver’s seat and the other next to the one driving. As they drive next to the trailer truck, the policemen looked at the driver seat of the trailer truck and saw no one driving the truck, which got them shocked and they wondered if the trailer truck was driving itself.
The policemen radioed the police station. A policeman said to the constable officer over the walkie-talkie ″we have a situation″.
″What situation is that?″ asked a constable officer that picked up the call.
″The trailer truck seems to be driving itself″ said the policeman over the phone.
″That’s impossible officer″ said the constable officer.
″No, it is not. We can clearly see that there is one driving the truck″ said the policeman, then suddenly, Fawrus appeared in the truck driving and smiling.
The policemen were shocked and stopped radioing upon seeing Fawrus. Both the policemen next to the other policemen driving the police car picked up their megaphones and speak through them ″stopped the truck right now or we will be forced to open fire″.
Fawrus ignored the policemen and see them as nothing but he continued smiling and driving. The policemen speak through their megaphone thrice that Fawrus should stop the trailer truck but Fawrus ignored them and continue driving then one of the policemen shoot the truck door and that piss Fawrus off and he uses his power on the policemen.
Fawrus lifted the police car by his right side up with his magical power very fast and threw it back making the car tumble making times before it crashed. Fire came out of Fawrus’s right bare hand and went to the other police car on his left side then the car caught fire and the car ablaze. The policemen in the car screamed in pain and the car hit the side of the road and stopped.
Fawrus said to himself ″I am your god. Don’t you ever try to stop me or stand in my way″, and smile as he continues driving toward those who he is after.
Adewale, uncle James, and Adetutu saw everything Fawrus did and become terrified. Uncle James said ″he can make fire with his bare hands. He is a monster″.
″He doesn’t possess a human feeling″ said Adetutu terrified.
″We need to get away from him as far as possible or else we are gonna end up being roasted by him″ said Adewale (terrified) to Fawmus.
″Can you please drive faster than this″ said uncle James (terrified) to Fawmus.
″Am trying to get us away from him so keep shut and let me concentrate″ said Fawmus to uncle James.
The death of the policemen and the crashing of their cars called for more police. Every police department was ordered to block the road ahead (the road they were driving on) and the road is to be cleared of vehicles. The police were also ordered to shoot on sight.
The road was cleared of vehicles remaining Fawmus and Fawrus who were still driving on the same road. They both drove off the main road to a bridge. With no vehicle on the road as an obstacle for Fawrus, he was able to get closer to them and hit their car from behind.
Fawrus hit their car from behind multiple times wanting Fawmus to lose control of the car but Fawrus didn’t while Adewale, Uncle James, and Adetutu remain terrified in the car, and pray they don’t die or their car crash. Adewale, uncle James, and Adetutu also don’t see Fawmus afraid of the situation but just kept driving.
After the trailer truck hit the car again Fawmu said to Adewale ″Leo, take the wheel″.
″Wait, why?″ Adewale (scared) asked Fawmus.
″That is the only way I can protect you guys″ said Fawmus.
″What do you mean?″ Adetutu asked Fawmus.
″Am going to go fight with Fawmus that should be able to distract him while you get the car away from him″ said Fawmus.
″Can you beat him?″ Adewale asked Fawmus.
″If I can beat him I wouldn’t be running with you guys from him. You clearly don’t know Fawrus″ said Fawmus.
″Then why go?″ Adetutu asked Fawmus.
″Because he can’t kill me. Now Leo″ said Fawmus.
Fawmus let go of the steering as Adewale hold it and he disappeared. Adewale took control of the wheel, put on the seat belt, and put the car in speed mode.
