Chapter 7

Her shift soon ended, Ruhe said her goodbyes to everyone and took a taxi. She sat down at the back and told the chauffeur were she was heading to. It was a long drive, but the taxi finally stopped in front of a church. Ruhe highlighted from the vehicle and payed the chauffeur. The car zoomed off leaving Ruhe standing in front of the church.

Ruhe took a deep breath and looked at the sky. It was getting dark. She quickly made her way into the church. She took a sit and knelt down while she palmed her hands. She closed her eyes.

" God I know we all sin against you everyday and I know this hurt you but God little Charis is an innocent cute girl. She is suffering so much. God if you can grant me one wish, please my wish will be for you to save the life of little Charis. God Charis cannot die, she does not deserve to die, please God sav-

A loud bang made Ruhe quickly hid under the chair. She turned to the direction of the sound. The door was broken in pieces. She was scared. Although she saw no one at the door. She tried to manoeuver her way out of the church but the sound of restless breathing made her look at her side. In the middle of the hall, a man was, panting. He was battered with blood. The man was crying as he looked fearfully at the direction of the door. Ruhe looked at man closely, fear gripped her.

'Who did this to him, who is he so afraid of, who is coming, is he going to die'. This thoughts played in her head. Ruhe looked at the man, this time the man was looking more afraid as his gaze were on the door. Ruhe turned to the door. A man wearing black was there standing. Ruhe gasped. She held her mouth. Fear was written all over her.
