8 TORTURED

After the wedding ceremony whole over the day, we were all present to the men we belong to now. I was married to a tall big black man, with a volcanic eye, and big tummy. For the first time i look at him, i hate him. What could i do? it's my fate. I said sadly.

Not so long a lady comes and take me to a small room, with a small bed that reserved for one person. It was all decorated with papers, designed of different colours. I gasped and sat at the edge of the bed.

After i could hear a foot step approaching the room. I quickly stand up and move to the edge of the wall. He opens the door and travel his gaze to were i stand, then he stood Infront of me and grabbed my chin. And lifted my head up so that i was looking at him.

"Now you are mine, and you must obeyed me". He said and push me to the bed.

Then he sat next to me on the bed putting his hand around my shoulder.

"I told you last time, we will going to meet. And here you are, i could do anything i want with you. No one would save you". He said madly.

Please i am sorry, i would do whatever you told me to do. But don't ruined my life, i am like your sister. I said in teary eyes.

He laughed loudly, before he changed his face to be like a horror.

"You can't be my sister, because you are my wife". He said shouting at me.

He grabbed my chin again to make me look at him. And then push me back to bed trying to tier my long gown. I screamed but he is already on top of me. In trying to protect myself i grabbed something on the table near the bed, it was knife. I didn't think even once, so i stabbed him on his neck, which led to his death.

I then quickly take the white sheet from the bed, and wrapped my body. Without noticing he has dead.

Then there was a man knocking the door, without hesitation i open it. After he saw what happened he knock my head with his gun. Immediately i fainted and i was took to a dark room where they tortured peoples.

When i wake up the first thing i saw was a womens hanged up, they were screaming from the pain. And they also bleeding, but seems the tortures doesn't cared.

Then i was dragged into another small room where i kept with 20 other girls, despite the cold of the room. They keep pouring water on us for 3 days.

During the torture i was beaten and sometimes they used to hold my toes with a pliers until it split blood. When i am numb and not anymore in pain, they would then pour water on me and started it again.

"Since you can't allowed your husband to consummate you, i will let my men to have you". A man said behind me. And then comes to face me.

I try to look at him but it hurts me to even raised my finger. But later i understand it was a lord of 'DUMAH'.

I begged you in the name of God to kill me. I said shrieking in pain.

"No i want to you to death 100 times before you dead a real death. Until the death fear what i did to you". He said and laugh as he turned to leave.

Sometimes the food they give us could not stop our hunger. And we were also given a water after 2 days, it was not pure though but we have to drink it. Because we are too thirsty.

I spent 15 days getting tortured by different men. Then one day a man comes, his face was covered with a mask looking at us hysterically.

As he was approaching me i step back freightened by his crazy gazed. He then grabbed my arm and push me to the floor.

"Now who will save you. I can't allowed you to dead an easy death. You must suffer. He said shouting at me.

I slowly lift my head, tear rolling down to my cheeks. He then grabbed my hair and stands me.

"You killed my brother". Do you think i will going to leave you". He said as he punch my face.

I try to run but to my own suprise he grabbed me again by my neck and pinned me to the wall. I try to defend myself, but not even my finger would move. As he tightened my grip, and squeezing all the air from my lung.

"What are you doing? if she dead i will kill you too. This is my place and i am the leader here. Why don't you ask me that you wanted her". The lord of 'DUMAH' said angrily.

"He is your brother, but he's my favourite soldier. Don't even try it again. Or else you know what would happen". He continued pointing him with his hand.

He then send all the soldiers out and, comes closer to me.

"You will not die now, there is more pain awaiting you". He whispered at my ear. Then turned and leave the room.

I managed to sat down with the strength that remains to me. And cry loudly, calling the name of my mother. Then i started recalling the days that i spent with my family, they caring and love towards me. I then lifted my head tears rolling down to my cheeks, and full of regret of coming to that school.

I miss you Baba (Father), I miss Ummi (mother). And promise you we should meet again. I said while crying.

I was thinking of a home for a moment, then i curled up on the floor and wrapped my arms around my waist in pain.
