Revolution + Senorita's Fall!


The Revolution 
Hey Guys,
I am excited to say that in no time, my new site adaezewrites.com will be launched.
adaezewrites.com boasts of an unstoppable flow of stories that will keep you at the edge of your seats all day. For this new site, each day will have a new post on different stories. I am launching this site so that all my works can be merged together as one. With this site, everyone can enjoy their favourite stories at just the click of a button. On the picture below is a preview of my header. Hopefully, soon, you will be directed to adaezewrites.com for all your lovely stories.

Here's a rough sketch of the categories section:
There will be a Home page with all the posts of the day, the life of a very funky naija teenager which I have changed to Life of funky naija teens, Frank Tuesday which I introduced recently, Senorita the Lagos chick, Reviews, and finally, Wife Material, a new addition to my weekly stories. I have separated each to suit the five working days of the week. 
Mondays: Expect the post for Life of Funky Naija Teens( which has all the stories of your favourite teens.)
Tuesdays: Expect the post for Frank Tuesday.
Wednesdays: Get your dose of Senorita The Lagos Chick
Thursdays: Reviews (which is a new section of products, sponsored or reviewed by me.)
Fridays: Will have my newest and most exciting addition,Wife Material ( It's a surprise package...click and see) 
On the side bar will have a 'Book of The Week Section' where I'll place my favourite book of the week. Either chosen by me or by you the reader (I'm doing this to support Nigerian/African young authors who would like to use my blog as a platform to advertise their books.)
I hope you enjoy my new site and everything that I added.  Remember that I couldn't have done this without your suggestions, help, prayers, support and your views. I am so grateful to each one of you for reading and commenting and I hope that this new change makes you as happy as it has made me.
Thank You for reading my stories and I  pray that God will bless and water your paths with so much success. Amen.

Best Wishes...
Ada.

Senorita's Fall!
*****

“She has fainted, revive her quick!” I heard one of the girls say.
"Bring water…be quick…run run…” Shouted another of the girls.
Madame was trying hard to keep her cool, I could tell that she was pacing around the sitting room.
“Madame, what do we do? She’s not getting up.” Said Chi, who had taken care of me these past few days.
“We cannot lose another recruit…No way! I have inflicted Fola with madness by breaking our cord but losing this one in the process, no way!” Madame shouted.
They brought water and poured it on me and I held my breath. Thanks to the swimming exercises I had taken in my village, I didn’t move a muscle when they poured the chilled water on me.
“She isn't responding …” Cried Chi 
I felt sorry for her, she really sounded pained but I had made up my mind not to wake up. I saw what happened to Fola and I would not let myself enter a bigger fry pan than I’m used to. I know that the money swayed me at first and if I had a chance, I’ll go to the strong room and cart away with the bundles but I have to stay still, till I get the chance to escape.
“Madame, why don’t we take her to the hospital?” One of the girls suggested.
“No way! I won’t do that…she can't be tied back to me, the police are searching for me as it seems and everything that I have built. Sending her to the hospital will only have her confess to everyone who cares to hear about what went on here. I had the woman who brought her here, killed and after what happened to Fola, I don’t think I want her out of our sight.”

I remembered Awero and sighed…and the sigh came out a bit louder than I expected.
“Wait…I just heard her sigh…is she awake?” Asked Chi.
“I heard nothing ooo…” Said another girl.
“I heard her sigh…I can swear it.” Chi said.
They were all silent for a while and I could not decipher what they were doing since my eyes were closed. I was tempted to open my eyes a little to see what they were doing but if I did, they would catch me. Later, I heard whispers and movements then unexpectedly, I was lifted up from the floor, I almost sucked in a breath but held myself . Suddenly, I heard Madame’s voice.
“Take her to the nearest hospital and send me feedback.” Madame said with a very queer concern in her voice.
A door opened and I was carried outside, I could feel the wind caress my cheek and the warm sunlight that bathed my skin. I instantly knew that I needed to be outside again, free and exploring the Lagos life.
I almost applauded myself at this juncture, I relaxed and almost smiled at my cleverness. The hands that carried me suddenly placed me down on the ground. Then I heard their voices,
“Let us go into the house and get the keys to the bus.” Said one of them, it was a man.
“Aha…why didn’t you bring out the key? Which of the buses are we taking? We have to take her to the hospital soon or something else might happen to her.” Said another male voice.
"Let's go into the house together and get the key." Said the first.
"Is that a good idea?" Asked the second.
"What can an almost dead girl do? Abegi...let's go." Said the first.
I heard their footsteps as they left me alone. My heart beat so fast that suddenly I opened one eye and then the next. There was no one around so I quietly and carefully turned my neck, there was no one in sight. Jumping up from the ground as though my life depended on it, I contemplated on the next step to take. 


They had fallen for my faint stunt and I had to leave the house immediately. It was my first time standing in Madame’s compound in the day time, the last time, I was with Awero and it was during night time. I had no trouble finding the gate and I ran towards it and even though there was no security at the gate, it was locked. I looked up at the fence, it was very tall but I was an expert in scaling and in no time, I had found myself at the top of the walls.
That was when the alarm rung! The loud shrill of the alarm could wake the dead and I was too shocked for words. Suddenly, Madame, her bodyguards and the girls ran out of the house and hurried towards me. Fear gripped me like a padlock, I turned to the other side and saw just at the ground below the fence, three dogs barking at me with ferocity. I didn’t know what to do. Madame and the girls had reached the fence and they were all laughing.
“You thought you could fool us right?” Madame laughed.
“There’s no turning back, you either fall in or fall out and you know the consequences…” Said Chi in anger.
“You little liar! I have never seen a girl with so much stupidity in my life but I guess I’m the more stupid one of the both of us. I still want you in my team. This is a residential area and even though a lot of people have gone to work, no one will notice you. Everyone will think that you’re a thief. I can’t believe you almost tricked me if not for Chi’s observation when she heard you sigh. You either get in here or out!And when you get out, those blood thirsty hounds will tear you to shreds.” Shouted Madame.
I stared at them, and turned back to look at the dogs that were barking loudly and baring ugly sharp teeth. Madame had indeed spoken the truth, not one neighbour peeped out of their gate, the area was very peaceful and quiet. I was stuck, I couldn't fall either left or right!
