THE LAST SON OF THE COMPOUND
Episode 2 – The Stranger in the Rain
The rain had not stopped for hours.
It pounded the roof of the compound, making the old windows rattle like they were about to shatter.
Inside, Tobi lay on the bed in his room, staring at the ceiling. His heart was racing.
The image of the shadowy figure at the window last night refused to leave his mind.
He tried to convince himself it was just his imagination.
But deep down… he knew it wasn’t.
Every instinct in his body screamed: something was watching him.
He sat up slowly, trying to hear anything beyond the sound of the rain.
Then… he heard it.
A soft crunch of footsteps on wet grass.
Outside.
Tobi held his breath.
He got up quietly, his bare feet touching the cold floor.
He moved to the window, careful not to make a sound.
And there it was again.
The figure.
Standing perfectly still. Watching him.
Tobi’s hands shook as he opened the window, leaning slightly out.
“Who are you?” he whispered, his voice trembling.
No answer.
The figure didn’t move.
Tobi’s mind raced.
Was it a man? A thief? Someone sent by Kunle to scare him?
The rain fell harder, drenching him instantly, but he didn’t care.
He had to know.
Slowly, Tobi grabbed his raincoat and stepped outside.
The night smelled of wet earth, electricity from the storm, and… something else. Something faint. Unfamiliar.
The footprints started appearing in the mud, fresh and distinct.
They led toward the abandoned building at the back of the compound, the one that had been locked for years.
Tobi’s heart pounded so hard, he thought it would burst.
He stepped closer to the building. The door, covered in moss and old scratches, creaked open as if inviting him in.
A cold wind brushed his face, carrying whispers he could almost hear.
Then—
A low voice came from inside.
“You should not have come here.”
Tobi froze.
“Who’s there?” he shouted, but his voice was swallowed by the storm.
The wind swirled around him.
Then he saw it—a handprint on the wall, glowing faintly red, as if drawn with fire.
His pulse skyrocketed.
Suddenly… the door slammed shut behind him.
Tobi spun around.
No one was there.
Just the darkness.
He turned back to the glowing handprint.
And then… the voice whispered again.
“You cannot hide what is coming…”
Tobi’s legs went weak.
He tried to move, but he felt an invisible force holding him in place.
Something cold, ancient, and powerful filled the room.
The storm outside seemed to scream louder.
Lightning flashed.
And in that instant…
Tobi saw a shadow move across the floor—fast, human-like, but taller than any person he had ever seen.
He screamed.
Then—silence.
The handprint faded.
The shadow vanished.
And Tobi was left alone… trembling, soaked, and knowing one terrifying truth:
He was being watched.
And it wasn’t just any watcher.
It was something… older, darker, and waiting for him.
His inheritance… his life… his very destiny… had just become a deadly trap.
