Shadows in the bloodline
<p>*📖 Season 2</p><h1>Episode 2: </h1><h2>“Shadows in the Bloodline”*</h2><p><br/></p><p>The next morning came like a whisper after a storm — silent, but uneasy. Success stood in front of the mirror, eyes locked onto his reflection. Something blinked back at him, but it wasn’t him. It smiled wider. Hungrier.</p><p><br/></p><p>Denniem barged in. “We need to talk. You weren’t yourself last night.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Success didn’t respond at first. He was trying to breathe through the growing heat in his chest.</p><p><br/></p><p>“I saw something,” Success finally said. “In the dark. A woman… no, a thing… in a red veil.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Denniem swallowed hard. “Zara saw it too. She hasn’t spoken since.”</p><p><br/></p><p>—</p><p><br/></p><p>Meanwhile, Aisha and Amaka went to visit the school counselor after another student, Kunle, fainted in the hallway—muttering in tongues. When Aisha looked into Kunle’s eyes as he was being carried out, she saw herself. Screaming.</p><p><br/></p><p>In a distant alley, Zara stood watching an abandoned house. The one they thought had been sealed after the last incident.</p><p><br/></p><p>The doors were open.</p><p><br/></p><p>And children were singing inside.</p><p><br/></p><p>—</p><p><br/></p><p>Night fell. Denniem, Success, Aisha, Zara, Amaka, and Kunle met at the old church where it all began. The air shifted when Zara stepped in—her mark glowing faintly like Success’s.</p><p>“Something has awakened,” the priest muttered. “You children… you carry blood older than you know.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Success stepped forward. “What are we fighting?”</p><p><br/></p><p>The priest looked up slowly. “You’re not fighting demons.”</p><p><br/></p><p>“You’re fighting yourselves.”</p><p><br/></p><p>*To be continued…*</p>
