MY HEART (REUNION OF LEO AND DEO)

Adewale, Adetutu, and uncle James ran through the stairway to get out of the building but upon getting to the stairway of the 2nd floor they met Fawrus waiting for them and they stopped close to Fawrus.

Uncle James, Adetutu, and Adewale were shocked and scared upon seeing Fawrus’s face, the three of them could see that Fawrus truly has Adewale’s face. It looked like Fawrus was Adewale’s duplicate. Fawrus said with a smile to Adewale ″Hello Leo, and are you that shocked to see me?″.

Adewale was finding it hard to accept that someone with his face could exist when it is not his twin brother. Adewale (scared) asked Fawrus ″who are you?″.

“If you truly want to know who I am. I am you″ said Fawrus (smiling) to Adewale.

″That is impossible. You can’t be me″ said Adewale, puzzled and didn’t want to believe what he is seeing.

“You wish, but I am you″ said Fawrus (still smiling) to Adewale, and Adewale didn’t know what to say anymore nor believe Fawrus.

″What do you want from us?″ uncle James asked Fawrus.

Fawrus stopped smiling and said to uncle James ″It has been a long time since I last saw you, Domien. And you look old in this lifetime″.

Uncle James didn’t understand what Fawrus meant by calling him Domien so he asked Fawrus ″And who are you calling Domien?″.

″I get it. You all lost your memories and don’t remember who you all are or me. You were all even surprised to see me like am not supposed to be someone that shouldn’t exist. But I don’t care about that since this is not the first time you will all be forgetting. All I want is Deo. Give her to me and no one has to get hurt″ said Fawrus (smiling) to Adewale and uncle James, and began to walk slowly toward the three of them.

Seeing Fawrus walking toward them, Uncle James, Adewale, and Adetutu also begin to walk back slowly to maintain their pace from Fawrus and think about running.

Fawrus said to Adewale, uncle James, and Adetutu ″you can’t run from me if you don’t know that you should″, as he continued walking toward them and they also continue stepping back slowly.

″What if we can″ said Adewale to Fawrus, then the three of them turned back and ran upstairs.

As the three of them ran back upstairs, Fawrus appeared not too far from them (in front) and they became scared and stopped running upon seeing him. Fawrus said to the three of them “where did you think you are all going″.

Adetutu, Adewale, and uncle James turned back to make another run downstairs but another Fawrus appeared (in front) not too far from them making it Fawrus two. Adewale, uncle James, and Adetutu became frightened upon seeing the second Fawrus and wondered how could they be two Fawrus. Fawrus said to them ″your loss of memory really makes you think you can run from me. You forget what Leo is capable of. You forget what am capable of. Hand over Deo over to me peacefully and I might let you all″.

″No. She is mine and you are not taking her″ said Adewale to Fawrus, and made Adetutu stand in the middle of him and uncle James.

“You are still as dumb as always, Leo. Will you hand over yourself, Deo, and I might spear Domien” said Fawrus to Adetutu.

“Why should I hand myself over to a mysterious stranger?” said Adetutu to Fawrus.

Fawrus smiled and said to Adetutu “you sound funny. I, mysterious? Forgetting is really a bad thing that should happen not to humans. Well, if you don’t want to hand over yourself and they don’t want to also then I have to take you myself”.

Fawrus and the other him walked slowly toward Adewale, Adetutu, and Uncle James as the three of them stood frightened and staring at the two Fawrus. Suddenly, a portal opened up in front of Adewale, Adetutu, and Uncle James revealing where their car was parked.

Adewale, Adetutu, and uncle James were shocked and startled upon seeing the portal while Fawrus was surprised upon seeing the portal and wondered who it was that opened it. Uncle James asked Adewale and Adetutu ″what is this?″.

″It is a portal. We have to go into it″ said Adetutu silently to uncle James.

″What’s a portal? How can you expect us to go into this strange thing and what if it was Fawrus that made it″ uncle James said to Adetutu. The two Fawrus was still walking slowly towards them.

″It’s like a doorway or gateway but it can take you anywhere in seconds and I don’t think it is Fawrus that made it. We should go into it″ said Adewale silently to uncle James.

Fawrus noticed Adewale, uncle James, and Adetutu were planning on entering the portal and said to them ″you don’t want to go into the portal because that would piss me off. Come to me now gently″.

″I think it better we take our chances″ said Adewale to Fawrus, and pushed Adetutu into the portal.

Seeing Adetutu was pushed into the portal by Adewale, Fawrus was annoyed then both he and the other him ran toward uncle James and Adewale to stop them from entering the portal.

Uncle James entered the portal and Adewale was about to enter the portal when Fawrus and the other Fawrus get close to Adewale. Adewale jumped into the portal but half was his body was only able to enter the portal because Fawrus hold Adewale’s right leg and the other Fawrus held Adewale’s left leg preventing Adewale’s full body from entering the portal.

Uncle James and Adetutu at the other side of the portal saw that half of Adewale’s body had made it through the portal to their side and the two Fawrus were holding Adewale’s legs with their hands preventing Adewale’s full body from fully entering the portal to their side.

Uncle James and Adetutu hold each of Adewale’s arms and began to pull him into their side.

The two Fawrus pulled Adewale to their side as uncle James and Adetutu also pulled Adewale to their side, and at the same time Adewale struggled to free his leg from the two Fawrus’s hands but the two Fawrus were not going to let go of Adewale’s legs. Uncle James and Adetutu were not strong enough and Fawrus was gaining Adewale back to his side.

Uncle James and Adetutu had to pull Adewale using all their strength and they were able to pull Adewale fully out of the portal to their side with the two Fawrus’s arms entering the portal and still holding Adewale’s legs, then suddenly the portal closed Itself cutting off the part of the two Fawrus’s arms that entered into the portal to their side.

Adewale (scared) quickly got the two Fawrus’s hands off his legs and stood up calling Adetutu’s name but she didn’t respond because she was unconsciously awake upon seeing the two Fawrus’s arms cut off by the portal. Seeing Adetutu was unconsciously awake, Adewale dragged Adetutu to their car followed by uncle James.

Adewale sat Adetutu in the backseat of the car and uncle James took the driver’s seat. Adewale sat beside Uncle James then uncle James ignite the car and drove off at speed, the two Fawrus’s hands fade away.

As uncle James drives the car scared, he said to Adewale ″that bastard kill the shaman. We need to get out of the town now″.

″I think we need to. What do you say, A?″ Adewale (scared) asked Adetutu.

There was no response from Adetutu so Adewale looked back at Adetutu to see she was still unconsciously awake then Adewale slapped her face and face front back.

Adetutu regained her consciousness back after Adewale slapped her then she look around and saw she was in the car. Adetutu saw where she was and asked ″what happened? Did we escape?″.

“You were half dead for a while now. I think happened after you saw Fawrus damned stupid hands″ said Adewale to Adetutu.

″How did you guys know about a portal?″ uncle James asked Adewale and Adetutu.

″Movies. We saw it in the movies and things in the movies are not supposed to be real″ said Adewale (confused).

″But this is″ said uncle James.

″Am sure Fawrus will be coming after us in vengeance because of his hands that were cut off. We have provoked him and we shouldn’t have″ said Adetutu worried.

″What do expect us to do? To just hand you over to him? He can make himself become two which means has power that is beyond our imagination and we don’t know what he is capable of. We don’t even know why he wants you. But we know two things for sure, he is dangerous and has my face. I pray he doesn’t commit a crime with face″ said Adewale worried.

″Well, he already did. He killed the shaman″ said Adetutu.

″We need to find somewhere safe because home isn’t anymore″ said uncle James.

″Where do we go now?″ asked Adewale.

″I don’t know but not home″ said uncle James.

There was silence in the car as uncle James keep driving to an unknown destination and everyone was thinking of what to do but Adetutu broke the silence. Adetutu said to uncle James and Adewale ″the portal?″.

″What happen to the portal?″ uncle James asked Adetutu.

″It’s not something that can open itself. Someone must have opened the portal knowing we were in danger″ said Adetutu (perplexed).

″Adetutu is right, someone did open it. The question is who″ said Adewale (confused) to uncle James, and looked at uncle James and Adetutu.

″Who knows, maybe it’s one of you guys″ said uncle James to Adewale.

″Am sure it wasn’t me because I was terrified the whole time″ said Adetutu.

″Same here. And you kind of said we need to get our memories back so our powers can activate themselves″ said Adewale to uncle James.

“Maybe your powers activated themselves knowing you were in trouble to save you both” said uncle James to Adewale and Adetutu.

“If that is so why can’t I feel my power” said Adewale to uncle James, in disagreement with what uncle James said.

“I can’t also feel mine” said Adetutu.

″It wasn’t us, uncle. And the only person there with us was you. Which means the only one person that could have opened the portal if not us is you” said Adewale to uncle James, and he and Adetutu looked at uncle James.

Uncle James noticed the way Adewale and Adetutu were looking at him and asked them ″what?″, but they gave no response to uncle James and were still looking at him.

Uncle James understood why Adewale and Adetutu were looking at him in such a way and said to them ″no way, it can’t be me. You can’t seriously believe Fawrus. I have no fucking power″.

″But Fawrus called you a name. Domien if I am right″ said Adewale to uncle James, insisting Fawrus knows uncle James.

″Which he may be wrong″ said uncle James in disagreement with Adewale.

″I don’t think he is. Why would Fawrus call you by someone else’s name if he doesn’t know you or knows your other name″ said Adetutu to uncle James.

″I do have other names but none is Domien. Fawrus mistakes me for someone else. I am not Domien my name is James, period″ said uncle James (in disagreement) to Adewale and uncle James.

″We are Adewale and Adetutu, and also Leo and Deo. We also bear another name which we have no idea about until recently. Fawrus knows you, uncle, which means you are also connected to us in some kind of way. He even said you look old in this lifetime″ said Adewale to uncle James.

″I did not open the portal and I am not a supernatural being or immortal, or bears a stupid and weird name. That is the last thing I want to be and we are not talking about this again″ said uncle James to Adewale and uncle James.

″Okay″ said Adewale, then they all shut up.

Uncle James drives out of the city onto a lonely path as they were all thinking about their lives. As Uncle James drives the lonely path, Adetutu in the back seat (thinking) suddenly noticed someone standing ahead on the road their car was driving toward. Adetutu asked Adewale and uncle James ″who is that standing on the road? Or doesn’t the person see our car coming?″.

Adewale and uncle James looked forward and saw the person standing on the road ahead. Uncle James stopped the car but the car front light was still on then Adewale, Uncle James, and Adetutu looked carefully from the car at the person standing ahead on the road and saw it was Fawrus. Adewale, uncle James, and Adetutu were shocked and terrified upon seeing Fawrus. Adetutu (scared) said ″what the fuck? How did he get here? We have to go back now″

″No, uncle. Run him through″ said Adewale (in anger) to uncle James.

″I don’t think that’s a good idea. Take a look at his hand it’s intact. He doesn’t look like he lost a hand″ said uncle James (scared) to Adewale.

Adewale and Adetutu looked at Fawrus carefully and saw Fawrus’s hand was intact, then they became shocked and terrified more. Adetutu (frightened) said to uncle James ″we should turn back, uncle. I don’t think this guy is human″.

″No, we can’t. If we turn back now Fawrus will come after us. His hand may be able to grow back but I don’t think his whole body can. Let’s do this, uncle. Let’s run him through″ said Adewale to uncle James.

″I don’t think we should″ said Adetutu (scared) to Adewale.

″I can’t do this″ said uncle James (scared) to Adewale.

″Then let me drive″ said Adewale to uncle James.

Adewale took over the car wheel while uncle James sat next to him, then Adewale warm the car looking at Fawrus furiously. Adewale (in anger) said to uncle James and Adetutu ″everyone, put your seat belt on″, and they all put their seat belts on.

″Let kill this motherfucker″ said Adewale, and continue looking at Fawrus furiously, then Adewale drove toward Fawrus at speed.

Fawrus saw the car coming toward him but instead of him running or moving away from the road Fawrus walked toward the car majestically. Adewale thought the car was going to run Fawrus through but it wasn’t.

Suddenly, the car stopped and turn itself off upon getting closer to the Fawrus except for the car front light that still shine on Fawrus then Fawrus also stopped walking.

Seeing the car off itself, moving and the engine down made Uncle James, Adewale, and Adetutu confused then uncle James asked ″What the hell is going on?″.

″I don’t know″ said Adewale (sacred), as he tried to turn the car back on but couldn’t.

″It is Fawrus. He did something to the car. I knew this was a bad idea″ said Adetutu, as he looked at Fawrus who was now smiling.

″We need to get out of the car right now″ said uncle James terrified.

Adewale, Uncle James, and Adetutu quickly took off their seat belts and tried to open the car door but the car door didn’t open. Uncle James (terrified) said out loud ″he is stopping us from getting out″.

″We are in serious trouble″ said Adewale (terrified), then suddenly Fawrus’s voice said from the car radio ″why can’t you just understand, you can run from me″.

Uncle James, Adewale, and Adetutu became astounded upon hearing Fawrus ’s voice speak from the car radio.

″For making me go through all this trouble you shall all pay the price. Now brace yourself″ Fawrus’s said from the car radio to them.

Hearing that Adetutu (terrified) asked ″What is he going to do?″.

″I don’t know″ said uncle James, then suddenly the car started rising itself.

Adewale, Adetutu and uncle James saw what was happening to the car but didn’t know what to do or stop the car from continuing to rise. Adewale looked out through the car window and saw their car distance from the ground then he asked ″Is he going to kill us?″

″I think so″ said uncle James.

Fawrus pushed the car backward in speed with his power and the three of them all screamed in the car.
