I really can't tell if you have had any encounters with demons. If you have ., How did you survive it? If you haven't., I bet you would love to read this.

Adaora Peter's, a teenage girl of about eighteen years of age., Found life so disheartening. She lost her parents in a one-time ordeal with armed robbers on a general robbery attack in their community years back. She lived by begging strangers in the very busy street of Lagos for months before her maternal aunt Madame Roselyn decided to take her in.

Adaora's first 3 months at Madame's house was quite peaceful., But all of a sudden., As if Madame was being bewitched, started maltreating Adaora. She would beat out life from the poor girl on every little mistake she made. This soon started attracting sympathy from neighbors and on_lookers towards Adaora. So many people saw her as a responsible and hard-working young lad, the reason for the unscrupulous maltreatments gotten from Madame Roselyn, were what many couldn't fathom or lay fingers on.

Days became weeks, weeks, months. Then came a day, Adaora set out to do some furniture cleaning in Madame's warehouse. While cleaning, a strong wind blew across the well-spaced room, sweeping her off her feet. As if that wasn't enough, it damaged the windows and caused the scattering of so many expensive glasses down to the floor. Well, she couldn't understand what came about this, because she found herself on the floor. Just then, Madame broke in all anger and raged.

Adaora!!

Look at what you have done., My business, you just ruined everything. Adaora was emotionless and speechless., Of cause, what would a girl like her do when she found it difficult to understand what just happened. She has been beaten to hell and back again., Right from the warehouse, down to their apartment.

"Why would Madame treat that poor girl harshly"., So many on_lookers lamented.

Yes!! Why would she do so? What happened to the ever-sweet and caring Madame Roselyn for the first 3 months of adaora's arrival to her apartment.

Well., Too many unanswered questions I guess.

Estelle Davies, Madame Roselyn's neighbor, has been silently watching everything happening all this while. She knew Adaora to be responsible and Madame caring too. But what she couldn't place her fingers on was the sudden change of approach of Madame

She spoke with Adaora and promised to vindicate and come to her rescue as soon as she gets a similar experience. Well, Estella didn't have to wait too long because Madame beat Adaora the next day. So, without wasting so much time, she booked an appointment with her attorney and had a case against Madame.

The day for the case finally came, and Madame was certified indisposed by her lawyer., So the judge had adjourned the case till further notice.

The next date was fixed, still with no sign of Madame. Now the judge had to book another appointment for them for the very last time. If Madame didn't show up., He would consider Adaora innocent and charge her (Madame) for child abuse and domestic violence.

The last day for the case was fixed, and just as planned, Madame showed up in her usual glamorous wear. The process had started when Madame was asked a very thought-provoking question "Madame Roselyn., Did you, or did you not love Adaora as a child you never had? "

"I did," she said.,

" So, why then maltreat her almost to the point of death? " Adaora's lawyer asked Madame Roselyn

At this point., Madame was both angered, emotionally triggered, and hurt. Where was all that coming from, she had asked herself. She turned over and looked at Adaora eyeball to eyeball. For some seconds, she lost consciousness of herself and became void of happenings in her environment. And just then, adaora's lawyer had asked again "did you, or did you not love Adaora Madame Roselyn?. If yes, why maltreat her.

Madame of cause, couldn't help but nod in the affirmative and keep the other complementary question unanswered.

"At this point., I declare Madame Roselyn guilty of child abuse and domestic violence. Adaora is free to stay in her house without any fears of maltreatments from her, if any, Madame would be charged heavily., Which may cost her her own life. Meanwhile, Adaora could still decide to leave and stay with whoever she feels like.

I hereby sentence Madame Roselyn to 5year imprisonment for child abuse and maltreatment."

" Court "!!!

At this., The judge took his leave, followed by onlookers, well-wishers of the innocent and guilty parties.

Adaora moved in with Estelle Davies. Estelle was kind-hearted and more caring than the latter., Even though she was a mother of a girl of six, Florence. And a wife too, though Mr. Davies was usually out of town.

Adaora, began acting weird after a while. She had been seen in her room with brightly lit candlesticks on more than 3 occasions by Florence, who told her mum afterward. But Adaora being a witch was the least on Mrs. Estelle Davies's mind. Soon after, tragedy struck the Davies family. Mr. Davies went bankrupt and had so many crashed business deals., Florence dropped out of school and so was Adaora as a result of this. At this time, Estelle was already pregnant with her second child, and there weren't finances enough to provide for everyone, and yet, they were welcoming another.

Florence now stayed at home every day and began noticing strange things. On one occasion., She was live-streaming a musical got talent show when the light was suddenly ripped off.

Hello??

Little Florence cried aloud. From a distance, she could spotlight in other rooms but she couldn't understand why it had to be her room's light that tripped off suddenly.

Muew!! Came a sound, shallow it started till it became a fierce one.

Then a terrific image zoomed off in her face with speed like that of light, making her more scared, tensed, and afraid. She could see different creatures in her room flying all around her, she could see herself floating on air amidst these dreadful creatures.

Where was she?, She had asked herself. She tried screaming, but it seemed like the demons had taken her voice from her. She had closed her eyes, and saw herself in a white garment, with some other kids around a table, as a calabash was being passed from person to person, with each kid having a sip of something that looked like blood in it.

Deep down., She never wanted to have a taste of whatever it was they were drinking, but just as if her hands and mouth were against her wish not to take., Her hands were already holding the cup, and her lips were already out, and that was how she had gotten to drink the unknown substance.

She opened her eyes and found herself sleeping on the couch she had left minutes ago, floating up in the sky, and down to where she had drunk the substance. Little did she know she had been initiated into being a witch by Adaora.

I'm sure you're wondering how she knew Adaora got her initiated., I'll tell you.

When she woke up, she saw Adaora right beside her, and just then adaora spoke up. "Congratulations Florence., We have work to do".

This was exactly the voice of the leader of the white garment crew she just woke up from. Could adaora actually be the head witch?

Florence, couldn't tell any soul about Adaora being a witch, because whether she liked it or not., She was already one of them.

The next evening., Estelle had come home highly devastated. She had slept that night and had terrible dreams about Adaora trying to take away something precious from her. But everything happening in a hush, so she was unable to place her fingers on it.

The next day, she has woken up to seeing bloodstains in her pajamas.

Ahh!!!

My baby!! She had cried bitterly, with her family members, and Adaora showing the greatest concern.

Well, Adaora had feasted on her unborn baby the previous night at the ritual of Florence.

Florence has eaten her own baby brother., Without knowing.

A few weeks after Estelle had gotten back to her feet., She went on to carry personal investigations about this Adaora of girl, who seemed more dangerous than ever to her now.

She went to the police station to look for her old friend Madame Roselyn and asked a few questions about Adaora. And her replies confirmed everything. Adaora used a spell on Madame to maltreat her, in order to attract sympathy from neighbors and on-lookers., Because she know Estelle would definitely come to her rescue. It was all planned from the beginning. How patient witches could actually be.

Estelle had always been the target. She escaped being bewitched as a kid, and now the witches were back for her, at last, to get her daughter bewitched too. Good thing Estelle's mum belonged to a rival coven and had countered the initiation rites on Florence her granddaughter.

With all this information., Estelle was ready to bring Adaora to justice. But just as planned., Adaora had vaporized into the thin air. Good thing she left Florence behind.

I am Florence's close friend how she escaped being bewitched is what I can't fathom.

Believe me, witches are real.

I know they preach to us that witches are not in existence, but I strongly believe they are real. In my early days at home town, we used to hear about little children being possessed by witchcraft. They take them for deliverance in church, some proof very difficult to let go while some goes off easily. Witches are real
