CHAPTER 194

Tere looked at the policeman's side pocket and saw a gun. She knew that it was her opportunity to escape. There was no way that Tere was going to allow herself to be taken to the police station. Tere took the gun and immediately ran towards Ruth then grabbed her neck and started to throttle her.

" You better put your guns down if you care at all for an innocent person's life" Tere shouted at the police in a commanding manner.

" Please do it. I don't want to die now" said Ruth in a pellucid voice who was a little bit worried.

The policemen immediately put their guns down since they were afraid that something bad could happened to Ruth.

" You! I want you to enter into this car and drive outside the closer gates with us the same way that you came in" said Tere pointing at Evelyn.

Evelyn immediately entered the car and drove off as soon as Ruth and Tere entered the car. The police followed them in the police car but lost them since Evelyn was ordered to drive faster. 

" Drive faster more than that. I do not care what is going to happen to us. If we die in a car accident, so be it. We shouldn't be always afraid of death. Death always finds us in the most impossible ways" Tere ordered Evelyn.

Evelyn drove faster but stopped immediately he saw somebody standing on the road. This made her to be wounded on her head which caused her to become unconscious. Tere immediately signalled Ruth to get out of the car as he pointed a gun at her.  

Tere therefore ordered to Ruth to assist Evelyn to stand and carry her to the back of the car. Ruth did as instructed and entered the driver's position but as she wanted to leave , a man stood infront of the car and was not willing to leave. 

" What do you think you are doing?" Asked Tere angrily as she got out of the car. 

" I am here for my wife. I am here to take my wife back and save her from all her troubles. Thanks to Ruth that she has been able to get you out of the closer gates. Now you'll need to run as fast as you can from the police and I will be the one to help you. But wait a minute! We won't do it right away. We still have to go to mambo town and get Ruth's family out of there" said Haggai. 

" You criminal. You think you can get away with what you are doing right now. Well! I am going to kill you right away" said Tere as she shot Haggai all over his body but was astonished to find out that Haggai was not reacting but rather coming close to her. 

This made Tere to drop the gun out of fear and started moving away from Martin till she fell on Evelyn's feet who was suddenly awake.

" Stand up from my feet please. Don't ever do this again. Unless, you want to wash my feet" said Evelyn who moved away from Tere. 

" How could you do this to me Ruth? You knew that I would try to escape and use you as a bait. When did you both really hatch such a plan?" Asked Tere as tears of sadness welled down her eyes.

" We hatched a plan when Haggai came to Ryan's house in Mambo town. I made a deal with him that I will help him get Tere back and he will help me get my whole family back and revenge my grandma's death. On that very day, I asked him to look for Dr .Evelyn and hatched a plan that would make Dr. Evelyn have a conversation with Faith and plan everything on how I would escape from Ryan. That is when I came back to this town and decided to go to the closer gates where at the same time the police arrived. Please take her away Haggai. We can discuss the other issues on phone" said Ruth who signalled to Haggai and Tere to leave.

As soon as Haggai and Tere left, Evelyn took her phone from the car and decided to call the police. She informed the police of the whereabouts of Haggai and Tere which astonished Ruth. That was never part of the plan. 

" Why have you done that? You know very well that it is only Haggai who can help me get my family back. You could have done that once my family was back in my arms" said Ruth a little bit worried.

" If we depend on criminals to help us achieve our plans, then nothing will change about the fact that we will also be considered as criminals" said Evelyn in a serious tone.

" Not really. Haggai is a good person. We shouldn't have double crossed him like this. This is not good" said Ruth.  

" You are a witch. Why then didn't you use your powers as a witch to save your family? Why have you decided to settle the matter the court way? It's because your heart is pure Ruth and you feel the fact that it's not right to get away with what you want in the wrong way. Now enough with all this. Enter the car, we both need to leave this place right away" Saud Evelyn who suddenly entered the car and signalled to Ruth to enter the car.

As soon as Ruth entered the car, Evelyn drove back to the closer gates. She knew that they still needed to get the ancestral vase and that was what was keeping Akeshia to keep staying at the closer gates.

As soon as they arrived at the closer gates, the guards at the closer gates who were now large in number refused for them to enter. This made Ruth to get out of the car filled with lots of anger.

" What is this? My name is Ruth Bora and I am the granddaughter to Magdalene Bora. Why are you refusing me to enter my own home?" Asked Ruth filled with lots of anger.

" It's Akeshia's Tupfer's orders that you should not enter the closer gates since you are not in a position to place any demands. We are sorry miss Ruth" said the guards.

" It's alright. I can enter the closer gates when I want to but I can't dare to ruin your work. I understand that this is what you do for a living" said Ruth as she entered the car and ordered Evelyn to leave.

" But...." Said Evelyn but Ruth suddenly interrupted.

" I know that I need to restore my grandma's legacy but I don't need to destroy what this guards for a living. Their families depend on the income they get here. I really think that we need to use my witches power and yours too Evelyn to get into that house. I know that you and my grandma worked hard to build the closer gates. Don't worry, I will give the closer gates back to you because no matter what, you will always be the rightful owner" said Ruth as tears welled down her eyes.

" Listen Ruth. What you are saying is apsalutely wrong. I know that your grandma and I were the first rulers of the closer gates but sonething happened many years back that made me loose my own daughter too. You are the only one who will help me get my daughter back into my arms" said Evelyn which astonished Ruth.

" What should I do to bring your daughter back to you?" Asked Ruth filled with lots of curiosity.

" Make sure that we get the ancestral vase and save your family. That is the only way I will be able to get my daughter back into my arms" said Evelyn which astonished Ruth. 

" Who is your daughter?" Asked Ruth.

" You will get to know when the right time comes" said Evelyn smiling.

This left Ruth with a lot of questions in her heart. Therefore, she decided that she was going to investigate Evelyn privately without her consent.

" Shall we go home to my mansion? I think that that is only place we can stay right now" said Ruth.

" No! We can't stay there. Now that Martin and people of the closer gates know that you are in this town, even Ryan will know about it and I know that he will go looking for you at your mansion. We will stay in my mansion" said Evelyn smiling.

" Alright Dr. Evelyn" replied Ruth in a pellucid voice.

" Why then won't you stop calling me Dr .Evelyn? Why don't you call me grandma? I am just like your grandma Magdalene" said Ruth.

" Okay, grandma" said Ruth smiling.

 Evelyn immediately drove off to her mansion which was almost out of Olam town in a secluded area which Ruth never thought there was. Everything was different there. There were only women living there and no men. A lot of tombs were there and surprisingly, Magdalene was seated on one of the tombs smiling. But as soon as they arrived at Evelyn's mansion, Ruth saw that everything was now normal. She therefore felt that everything she saw on the way was just a vision. She felt that maybe her grandma Magdalene wanted to tell her something. This made her to promise herself that she was going to find a way of communicating with her in the ancestral world.
