Adventure Sad Suspense

Adaeze was the only child of her parents,tall,slim and dark in complexion. She was 8 years old when she started having premonitions,no one believed her because they thought she was too small to be saying things that is not met for her age.

Adaeze is a very beautiful girl,respectful and above all hard working. She lost her mom at the age of 8.

Adaeze woke up one morning and went to her mother to complain about what she saw about her but she wouldn't listen,she had wanted to go to the farm when the little girl told her not to. Adaeze cried bitterly that morning,rubbed herself on the floor in other for her mother not to go but she insisted that she would go because she claims she want to tap palmwine to sell in other to get enough money to pay for Adaeze's school fees because she was chased from school 3 days ago.

Her mother left for the farm and was her body was brought back by some of the village youth. On seeing her mother she cried and said ''I told her not to go but she wouldn't listen''

her dad cried too. At a time they get used to being alone without a mom and a wife..

Adaeze was a mysterious child sent by God to save the lives of people but they were so densed to see through. Whenever she has a premonition about someone,she would go to the person to tell her,but they would yell at her, telling her that she is a witch and an ogbanje..

Even when everything she says happens they still label her as an evil child,and say she always say things which are not met to come out from her.

people despises her,she doesn't have anybody to call a friend. She became fraustrated and cries everyday asking God why she would be the one to be given the gift.

she was never wanted in her locality and decided to talk to her dad about them living the community for the next community; ever since the incidents between Adaeze's mom,her dad has been adhering to whatever she says.

The dad decided to leave the village for another,to the place where her daughter would find peace because they labelled her a witch and ogbanje in third own town. Some people even said she killed her mother.

Finally they went to another village to live their lives in peace and Joy,but before they left,adaze placed a curse on the people of that village and tell them that they would come to her for help.

Adaeze worked so hard like an adult as little as she was. She started seeing and telling the future of the people in the community. The people over there believed her and follow every of her instructions.

She never lacked anything in Ozodo village,she was regarded as the God's of their Land

What her own people hated her for became blessings to her in Ozodo community. The people of Ozo finally came looking for help from her because they were facing some issues.

Male children dieing, animals and male youths too.

They never believed her but she was still needed by them in the community.

The elders of Ozo came looking for her but she chased them back telling them to go and deal with their death. Seeing that she was angry,her father talked to them calmly and asked them to come back another day..........

After they left her father talked to her and calm her down and she promised to help them and she gave a date for their next visitations.

On the day, she followed them home and was given respect to.

People that never believed in her premonitions suddenly became the people who started bringing gifts and food to she and her father,she was really sent to save the Land, people stopped dieing,their streams which was red became pure again and everything went to normal.

Adaeze became the talk of the Town for the good things she did..

She sees what will happen and also give a measure to over come it.

Her mysterious work went across the nations and she was even invited to different states and countries

Her father became the happiest man on Earth but wished his wife was still alive to see the seed she couldn't enjoy

Life indeed is a mystery.

She never believed that she could be so famous and respected as little as she was.

She never thought she could go far with her gift, although her mother was long gone,but her memories still dwells among her and she wished she was alive to withness her success.

Before Adaeze was already 15,she had gotten her own apartment outside the states.

She was once a girl named ogbanje and witch but now they all regard her as their saviour.

Adaeze really surfered in the hands of people because of her gift but it later turned out to favor her and her father was not left out too.

She communicate with the unseen people,passes messages from the unseen to people whom the message may concern,at times,she wondered why and how God gave her the power to do all this as little as she was.

She got all she wanted in life and lacks nothing.

She couldn't have asked for more from God because she has everything.

Adaeze her mother called, she discovered that it was all a dream and she suddenly started crying,when she was asked what happened,she told her mother everything but her mother advised her saying that she shouldn't worry about anything because very soon people will start to believe in you and whatever you have to say.
