pain

[Emilia lost control of herself, the branch she was standing on made a creaking sound. she fell but was held quickly by smith while chris did a favoured by covering her mouth. if she had fell to the ground then they would have been gone by now.]

Han on the otherside heard the creaking sound he turn back observing the trees but he didn't grew that suspicious because he saw no movement. he let go of the lifeless body and walk away. the rest of the kariba's followed.

After a while of observation they got that from the tree. the whole scenerio sent a chill down the spine of the three. emilia was spaz, confuse and motionless. Chris sat down with his head on top of his knee trying to process all that has happen so far.

Smith stood watching the other two who were being emotionally. to him the situation is graving as it is but it was never his style to lament. recalling what felix said he was starting to believe but then a question pop in his head. 'How was he suppose to make peace with such brutal and merciless people who he can never consider as human beings.'

Emilia: i don't think i can continue with this journey..i might die with my heart rip off [ she lament dryly]

smith walk close to her. staring at her he remember Nora words. He can't believe someone was place under his responsibility. 'i would try my best not to let you die, that's the least i can do for your sister' smith thought as he felt guilty for the death of Nora as he was the cause of the entire problem.

Smith: am afraid that won't be possible, i can't let you stay behind and i will try my possible best to make sure we all go home. [ he said dutifully, he felt guilty and right now he was willing to accept the whole responsibility.] i know it's a lot to take in but emy? if we don't leave we will die...

chris: where are we going to?

Smith: find a way... you're okay? [ he asked chris ]

chris: was i suppose to?

Smith: well its okay not to be okay...i understand.

Chris: Are you comforting me ? *he ask why staring at smith* who's gonna do that for you?

Smith: it doesn't matter, as long as you guys are okay. i am too. [ he smile, he grab Emy by the wrist then walk over to chris.] come on Man, we should get moving.

Chris: I Feel like pulling some rod through those bitches heart.. kill them, you know what i mean.

Smith: well your hits is gonna go for waste if you don't survive ..hope you understand.[ chris stood up with a dark expression plaster on his face] you're good?

Chris: not until i kill those bitches.

Smith: well first let's get out of here.

They left trying to find their way in the forest for what seem like hours. they got exhausted and sat down to rest for a bit. Bush rustling, smith notice he gave an alerting signal to the rest two.

smith observe everywhere he pick a wood from the ground. he step forward while telling the others to take cover. as he proceed forward he could feel the person getting close.

He turned back attacking the person first, but the person was quick to retaliate as he caught hold of the wood in mid air. smith use his knee to hit the person's stomach. the person fell down with great strength he got on top of the person with his hand around the person's neck, raising his hand to hit the person he discover that it was Jinning.

Jinning: woah, woah, woah, woah, woah...take it easy man. its me Jinning Remeber?

Smith: [ realizing himself, he nods trying to catch his breath. he loosen his grip] Am sorry i didn't mean to. [ he stood up and help jinning up, behind him was erica and Adam. Emilia and chris came out of their hideout. smith look around observing the arena before sitting down. exhausted they all find a spot to seat too.

smith: where are the others?

jinnng: same question comes from me..

Smith: i haven't seen them since we split.

jinning: Neither have i.

*smith sat down sat down resting his head against the tree, he face up with his eyes shut breathing heavily*

Emilia: Nora's dead [ she broke the sad news] if i hadn't persuade her to come then she wouldn't have died with a knife on her chest[ she lament]

Chris: you know i was planning to throw a party for my daughter birthday after i return but now it seems like i won't be able to [ sobs]

Erica: i don't know but is it possible to say we are in the same town we were days back?

Adam: no we are not, look around it's different.

chris: no differnce from the forestial part of the town.

Adam: we all saw these blood thirsty people after our damn life...i mean come to think of it, what sort of people still dress like that in this 21st century?

Emilia: that's right they look very outmoded and un-modernize, this is the 21st century where people don't dress and kill that way except they are the type that practice cannibalism.

Jinning: are you listening to yourself? cannibalism don't exist in Nigeria

Erica: it once was and might still be on.

chris: those are bullshit and force claims and misunderstanding. no legal charges or document has evidence to this claim.

Adam: chris is right, if cannibalism does exist in nigeria, the federal government would have taken care of it but..[ he trail off thinking] i think Erica might be right as well.

Jinning: guys all these are not the main point.. in summarization, he's trying to assume a claim of the existence of cannibalism in Nigeria. can't you see and feel that this place...everything here is off.[ he lie down using a wood as a pillow] we should base on evidence not speculated theories and claims. why did the town suddenly seem uninhabited, why did we went round in circles and why did this strange road suddenly appear? these are what we should get answers to until we know the answers to this.. we are never going to know where the fuck we are.

Hearing this smith felt his heart flinch a bit.. something he has never felt once. it was never his fault for them getting into this mess. Was he suppose to believe Felix? he never knew things would turn out like this, he thought of telling them but what was he suppose to say? how was he suppose to explain this to them. he breath out confuse. ' i just hope this nightmare ends' he thought.
