The Darkest Hour - Season 1 - Episode 27

**
Darkness had taken over. Both the school, town, Ndiogoro and Eziukwu village experienced its gravity. The wind of the night gave a bad signal to everyone, even Trust and Sunday. Emotional feelings were released to the universe from different angels.
David and Mike la!d on the bed quietly after a long discussion about the visit to the village. Even the recent act that happened between Sandra and David. Mike located his wrist watch. He glanced at it then kept it.
“It’s pass nine” he murmured to the hearing of David who stared at the ceiling.
“I don’t like the way i feel” David’s voice sounded then tranquility took over again.
:
Enest, in his lodge where he stays alone released feelings to the universe for the girl he hoped to see again. He sat on a chair with a pen in his hand. Before him was a table full of books. What could be the strange feelings he had for the girl he met at the festival? He couldn’t figure it out. He glanced at the time of his phone: 9:30pm. “Monica” was the last word that came from his mouth.
:
It became obvious that Sunny missed the twins especially Udoka regardless of the fact that they lived like cat and rat. But he found himself so worried about her that night. He glanced at Trust who la!d besid him asleep then averted his eyes. “Could it be that I’m falling inlove with a troublesome, small Udoka or something strange is about to happen to her?” he thought over the unexpected and unusual feelings.
:
Elizabeth was fast asleep while Sandra was still awake thinking of the guy who has taken her heart. She thought over the girl who had gone ahead of her to capture David’s heart before her but couldn’t think of a particular girl. Therefore, she concluded of not leaving him. That was a night she had ever felt emotionally. “This is strange” she thought.
:
Back to Eziukwu village, Monica had fallen asleep while Udoka remained awake thinking about David too. She had a feeling that she was not going to see him again or rather, he would break her heart. As she was having the strange feelings, Monica began to soliloquize in bed and flinging her legs.

“Monica!” Udoka tapped her but she kept murmuring. “Monica!” she hit her harder before she woke up sweating variously. Udoka noticed an atom of boldness in her unlike before.

Monica stood up in a hurry, picked up her jean trouser and began to change.
“Where are u going to?” Udoka surprisingly glanced at the wall clock: 10:15pm.
“It’s time” Monica replied.
“For what?”
“I’m tired of this dream”
“I don’t get u”
“I’m going to the Dark Forest of our land”
Udoka remain speechless. She glanced at the clock again before looking at her sister. She had never seen her in such a serious mood.
“Are u following me or not?” Monica asked..
Mrs Williams wasn’t sleeping in the same room with the twins. She had no idea what the children were up to. Even as she was asleep, she didn’t dream about it.
In the other room, Udoka became dumb coz she couldn’t believe her sister. But when Monica repeated her question with all seriousness, she was forced to stand on her feet.

“You mean we are going to the Dark Forest by this time of the night?”
“Yes” Monica had put on her jean trouser trying to wear a top.

“Why tonight?” Udoka glanced through the window. She saw nothing but darkness.
“He said it must be tonight”
“Who said?”
“I don’t know. I want to free myself from this horror dream. Or should i call it a nightmare?” Monica slowly moved closer to Udoka. She placed her two hands on her shoulder then looked into her eyes. “You always wanted to go the Dark For..”
“But not at night?” Udoka interrupted.
“It doesn’t make any different. Our father had the same dreams about the forest and was killed in the process of knowing what lies in it. Now, i am having the same dream. Don’t you think there is something about the forest whether good or bad that God wants our family to know since it’s over twenty years our father was killed because of the same reason? Yet, one of his daughters is having the same feelings and dreams about the forest? The time has ripped for us to know that which God wants us to know about the forest. Please, as my blood and twin sister, follow me to the forest”
Udoka was not only motivated to concur with her sister, but was also reinforced. She had never heard Monica spoke in such morale. Therefore, she said, “Let’s do this”
“Thank you” Monica smiled and gradually brought down her hands from her shoulder.
Udoka also changed to a jean trouser and picked up a marchet while Monica handled a torchlight. They gradually sneaked out of the house then headed to Ndiogoro land.
