Invasion

Jewel admired her face for the umpteenth time in front of the mirror. Her skin is now very flawless and her facial beauty out of this world. Ever since she recovered her past life memories, she never stopped glowing.

On one occasion, Lizzy almost caught sight of the "shining seal" on Jewel's back when she was communicating with Olókun in the rest room but luckily, her phone rang and she had to excuse Jewel to pick up her phone.

Jewel smiled on recounting the event, reexamined her shapely rear in the mirror one more time and giggled like a little girl.

All of a sudden, the standby generator serving the compound went off. She then heard a glass break downstairs, followed by complete silence. A woman could be heard whimpering and another man begging not to be harmed.

"Please, that's all we have. Don't hurt my family." he pleaded

"If I count 1-10 and all of you in this compound don't cooperate, we will make you see hell. Poison! Bullet! You two go upstairs and take charge." a thick voice commanded.

Haji and Aishat could be heard chanting "Allahu" in their apartment, in order to ease the building tension.

"Haji, it seems the robbers are up to ten." Aishat remarked trembling.

"Don't stop chanting "Allahu". We will be fine. Allah will never forsake us." Haji replied.

Poison and Bullet, two of the assailants went to Jewel's apartment. Poison ordered the occupant to open the door but heard no response.

"E be like say this one wan go meet God today." (It's like this occupant is prepared to die.")

Poison retorted and proceeded to Jewel's window, hitting the burglary with sledge hammer.

"Bullet, no show mercy." (Bullet, show no mercy). Poison retorted angrily.

Poison made his way inside Jewel's living room and gave a helping hand to Bullet through the way he forced open.

The two thieves were taken aback upon seeing a gorgeous young woman sitting down calmly on a sofa.

"You dey ment? You no dey fear face??!! Thunder fire you!"

("Are you mad? How dare you??!! May thunder strike you!")

Poison managed to gather courage and shouted at Jewel.

He barely finished his words when one of his eyeballs rolled down to the floor. He felt an unimaginable pain in his head. He tried to look at Jewel but his lower jaw also fell out, leaving a horrible gore in sight.

Jewel sat still in her night wear and looked in the direction of Bullet. He quickly dropped his weapons and tried to plead for mercy. But nothing could come out of his mouth. His tongue was gone. His two arms twisted badly to impossible angles and he could do nothing to help himself.

"This is a devil!" Bullet thought aloud.

The two robbers, disfigured badly, wobbled to their leader downstairs.

"Wetin dey occur?"

(What happened?)

their leader roared in anger and fear at the same time. He flashed his torchlight at his pitiful looking men. He left them behind and angrily dashed towards Jewel's apartment. But before he could reach there, his head rolled down from his neck, leaving his eyes wide open in shock. His body dropped dead to the floor.

"What sort of sorcery is this??!" One of the thieves asked trembling.

The rest of the thieves ran for their dear lives leaving behind their badly mutilated comrades and what they stole.

"Allah Akbar!!!!!" Haji and Aishat screamed in unison and embraced each other.

"You really kicked their asses really bad." Olókun whispered into Jewel's ears.

"They got what they deserved." she replied calmly, stripped naked and walk towards the bathroom.

"Whew!" Olókun whistled upon sighting her in her birthday suit.

"You're really tripping, Babe." Jewel replied giggling.
