Chapter KNOWING KUNTAPHA
THE CONVERSATION CONTINUED
Adewale asked Fawmus ″what kind of deal did Fawrus make with the devil and how was Fawrus able to contact the Lucifer?″.
″I have no idea but Fawrus got the knowledge from Lucifer. Leo might not be able to control the full power but I think with Fawrus he will be able to″ said Fawmus to the three of them.
″Is there a way to kill Fawrus without me dying just like you did the last time″ Adewale asked Fawmus.
″Am no match for Fawrus with this water power and Deo that could help has no access to her powers because it is sound asleep inside of her. And I don’t think she can wake her powers up″ said Fawmus to the three of them.
″Maybe we should try waking Adetutu’s powers up″ said uncle James to Fawmus.
″It won’t work. If Deo’s powers didn’t reveal themselves even after Leo and Deo met in this lifetime, do you think she will be to wake it up?″ said Fawmus to everyone.
″Then are you saying the only way to kill Fawrus is if A die″ Adetutu (worried) asked Fawmus but Fawmus gave no response.
″What if I die?″ Adewale asked Fawmus.
″Then we all die and wait for the next lifetime″ said Fawmus.
″A can’t die and protecting me will get a lot worst. This is not getting any good″ said Adetutu.
″Although I don’t know how we can defeat Fawrus, there is a friend Leo and Deo that can help with that″ said Fawmus to the three of them.
″A friend of I and A?″ Adewale (confused) asked Fawmus.
″Yes, but without your memories you won’t remember him″ said Fawmus to Adewale and Adetutu.
″Don’t worry about that. Just tell us where he is, how he can help us, and who he is″ said Adewale to Fawmus.
″He is someone with knowledge and wisdom, and his name is Kuntapha″ said Fawmus.
Uncle James smirked and said ″Kuntapha is a very funny name″.
″Where does Kuntapah stay?″ Adetutu asked Fawmus.
″Kuntapha lives in a mountain between Heaven and Earth″ said Fawmus.
Uncle James, Adewale, and Adetutu were shocked to hear that then uncle James said (with a smile) to Fawmus ″You are kidding right″.
″Do I look like someone that is kidding″ said Fawmus to uncle James.
″Does such a place exist in this world?″ Adetutu asked Fawmus.
″Yes, but it is a place no human can visit″ said Fawmus.
″If no human can visit the place, how do we get there?″ Adewale asked Fawmus.
″About that, only I can go there but if the three of you are to go with me your spirits will have to be separated from your body. Which means only your spirits can go there″ said Fawmus to the three of them.
Uncle James, Adewale, and Adetutu were surprised to hear that. Uncle James said to Fawmus ″so you want us to be dead to go to this Kuntapha place″.
″You don’t need to die to go there. I will only remove your spirits from your body and it would seem like a dream to you all but it is not a dream″ said Fawmus to the three of them.
″What if while we were half dead Fawrus find our location then what?″ uncle James asked Fawmus.
″That is why we need a safe place to leave your bodies and without your spirit in your bodies your bodies are useless to Fawrus or anyone″ said Fawmus.
″Okay. Let’s find a safe place but still, I don’t want my body in the hands of Fawrus″ said Adewale to everyone.
″I have one more question to ask. How come you and Fawrus don’t get captured by the Cctv camera?″ Adetutu curiously asked Fawmus.
″Yeah. You are right. That has made the polices to labeled us as a criminal″ said uncle James curiously to know why the CCTV camera don’t capture Fawrus and Fawmus, Adewale was also curious.
″Fawrus and I are souls and more like a spirit, and we also don’t belong here. Even though we are in reality we are still not real. Maybe that is the reason we did not appear on camera″ said Fawmus.
″But we can see you. Even the policemen Fawrus killed were able to see him before he killed them″ said Adetutu to Fawrus.
″Okay, let me make it clear to you all. Can you be hurt by something you don’t see but can see you″ Fawmus asked the three of them.
″Well, no. But ghosts can hurt people in movies″ answered Adetutu.
″Yeah but the people always see the ghost″ said Adewale.
″As for the three of you, you will always be able to see I and Fawrus because you are not 100% humans but you only have their bodies. Humans will only be able to see I and Fawrus if we want them to and all the humans that were able to see Fawrus have now been killed by him″ said Fawmus to the three of them.
″That guy is really a monster″ said Adewale.
The conversation lasted till dawn because no one was able to sleep wanting to know the truth about all that is going on.
After they were done having the conversation, the four of them head out back to the city to get a new set of clothes for uncle James, Adewale, and Adetutu because they have already changed back to their real image and the hospital clothe is still on the three of them bodies.
By morning. the four of them got to the outer part of the city and went to a close area not to get sighted by any police. The four of them stopped in a corner then Uncle James asked everyone ″what do we do now? We are cashless. How do we get new clothes?″, as they all stood in front of each other.
″Am out of ideas right now″ answered Adewale.
″You guys should hurry up am feeling sleepy″ said Adetutu (looking sleepy).
″Is this the time to think or worry about sleep? We have a maniac on its way to kill you and the police on our tail, and you are thinking about sleeping″ said uncle James to Adetutu.
″Why shouldn’t she sleep if she is feeling sleepy? She is under my protection″ said Fawmus to uncle James.
″Your protection?″, uncle James smirked, ″You said it yourself, Fawrus is more brutal and powerful than you which means there is a 95% chance that Fawrus will beat you and take her‴ said uncle James to Fawmus.
Fawmus got annoyed upon hearing Uncle James said that to him and the color of his eyes change to sky blue. Uncle James, Adewale, and Adetutu saw the color of Famwus’s eyes then Uncle James said to Famwus ″you think you can scare me with that? You can’t kill me because I won’t stay dead as long as Leo and Deo are alive″.
Adetutu sat down on the ground close to a wall and rest her back on a wall. Fawmus said to uncle James ″I never said I was going to kill you, I might as well make you suffer″.
″Don’t forget I was the one who brought the idea that was used to create you″ said uncle James (annoyed) to Fawmus, and moved closer to Fawmus.
″Or maybe I should mute you. Should I Leo?″ Fawmus asked Adewale.
″He might have accepted that in the hospital but it was just a joke. He won’t let you mute me″ said uncle James (with confidence) to Fawmus.
″Uncle talks too much now and seems to want to be a problem. Mute him, Fawmus″ said Adewale to Fawmus, and that words shocked uncle James.
″What″ said uncle James as he looked at Adewale who seem not to be joking. Uncle James looked back at Famwu and said to him ″wait″, then uncle James shake Fawmus’s hand and said to Fawmus with a fake smile ″it was just a joke, we are friends right? We shook hands proved it″. Adetutu smiled where she was seated.
Fawmus returned his eyes to normal and separate his hand from Uncle James’ hand. Fawmus said to the three of them ″am going to any ATM stand″.
The three of them were surprised about how Fawmus knows about an ATM stand. Uncle James asked Fawmus ″what do you think an ATM stand is for and how do you know about that?″.
″How many times do I have to explain that am him (Adewale), which means whatever he knows I know too? And am going the ATM stand to steal some money from anyone that comes to withdraw″ said Fawmus to the three of them.
Uncle James and Adewale were surprised upon hearing Fawrus said that then uncle James said to Fawmus ″are you crazy? You want to go out there and steal in broad daylight″.
″Yes. You guys need money to buy some clothes and that is the only way we can get money″ said Fawmus to uncle James and Adewale.
Uncle James became annoyed at Fawmus upon hearing Famwus refer to him as a guy. Uncle James said to Fawmus ″don’t you ever understand simple words. Don’t address me as a guy″, as he looks at Fawmus sternly.
″Uncle, will you stop all these complaints, it is not like you are a match for him. It better you behave yourself or I will ask him to mute you so you don’t get to talk again″ said Adewale to uncle James.
″Tell him not to address me as a guy again″ uncle James (annoyed) said out loud to Adewale.
″Will you won’t stop behaving like a kid, uncle″ said Adewale to uncle James.
″I don’t think it’s a good idea for him to rob someone in broad daylight. That might drive the attention of the police″ said Adetutu to Adewale.
″Remember am invisible″ said Fawmus to Adetutu.
″But to steal from humans mean they will have to see you″ said Adewale to Famwus.
″Okay. Maybe I will steal from the ATM itself. All I need to do is walk through the wall and get the money out″ said Fawmus to everyone.
″I think this one is a good idea″ said Adewale.
Fawmus left and Adewale and uncle James then sat down on the ground close to Adetutu.
Minutes after Fawmus left, Uncle James said to Adewale ″Adewale, I don’t know what’s wrong with you but how could you agree with Fawmus to mute me″.
″We are not having this conversation, uncle″ said Adewale to uncle James, not interested in talking to Uncle James.
″No, we are having this conversation. How could you?″ Uncle James asked Adewale, insisting to have the conversation.
″You were not like this before, uncle. You were calm and caring but now you have changed, uncle. You overreacted over little things and seem to always want to pick a fight with Fawmus″ said Adewale (unhappy) to uncle James.
″Okay, but I don’t know why also. Maybe it’s because of everything happening and our lifestyle has changed so fast that I no longer trust anyone except you and Adetutu. We once lived happily in joy and happiness, and I get to kiss my kids every morning but now. We are running from Fawrus that might make a mistake and kill us all. We hardly sleep not even take our baths and that bastard has made us be labeled as fugitives. I guess that is why am behaving like this. Am angry, sad, and a lot of things that am feeling that even has no word to describe them″ said uncle James to Adetutu and Adewale, and water filled his eyes as he was talking.
″But know this, am always here for you guys and will always be″ said uncle James to Adewale and Adetutu.
″We know, uncle, and we will always love you. I promise you this, we will survive and go home to see your family together and be happy once again″ said Adewale to Uncle James, and hugged him, also Adetutu did.
Fawmus went to an ATM stand and saw people withdrawing money. Fawmus was about to walk through the wall of the ATM stand when he realized that if he took the money where would he put it then he looked around and saw a guy coming with a school bag at his back. Fawmus said to himself ″this will do the job″, and went to meet the guy.
Upon getting to the guy, Fawmus made himself visible to the guy and told the guy that he wants to use his bag and will pay him handsomely but the guy refused thinking Fawmus was lying. Then Fawmus change the color of his eyes to sky blue and threaten to kill him, the guy screams shouting for help.
