The journey

Episode 5

Mr court adjusted his glasses to look closely at the directions,he looked confused but decided not to tell his students but the students without been told knew he did not know where to go. Mr court can we please choose one road because we have been standing here for the past five minutes and it is getting dark already. He looked at the students and not wanting to show them his fears, he motioned and pointed slowly to the road on the left I think we should take that pathway. They all followed him through the pathway and following from behind is confusion smiling profusely to himself.

Sir I don’t think I can go any further again Debbie stop and sat on the floor,the rest of the students follow suit. Pius sat beside her and held her hands we will soon get there. Don’t slow down He encouraged her. I can’t go again,we have been walking for almost thirty minutes,no village is seen in view. I am tired.. She wiped her eyes as tears strode down her face. They all gather around her soothing her even though they were afraid too. Frank was the first to speak after an awkward silence. We don’t need to cry or be afraid am sure we will meet someone eventually. I don’t think we are lost yet. Mr court braced himself and address the students I am very sorry at the inconveniences caused you all,if not for the bus that got issue we would have gotten to the village and I have been trying to reach the school but no network coverage here as you all can see we are in the middle of a forest. If we can’t get to the village by night, we will camp and wait till tomorrow .I am afraid we will have to cancel the trip and go back home. The students listened with rap attention. I am so hungry please do you still have some snacks Jeff. Jeff searches through his box and brought out some snacks I think I still have some left. Here have it. He handed it to Susan. Thanks so much Jeff she took the biscuit from him. You are welcome! Linda clears her throat…I am just wondering how someone could be hungry in this kind of situation we are in right now! Susan looked up to see the face that just questioned her. And how is that your business Linda? Linda stood up and went to her side and sat down I came here to sit by your side so I can hear you clearly. Did you just ask me if It was my business? We are in the middle of nowhere and all you could ever ask for is food. You must be very sick and stupid. Solomon sensing the next move from Susan stepped in between them. Will you two just stop it! What is wrong with you too. If she want to eat let her eat,it is none of everyone’s business. He pulled Susan up and took her away from Linda. I did not expect that from you. What you just did now is very stupid. You are suppose to settle the issue not side one. I should have known that it is beyond just a trip partner,you too are now having something with each other. Come over here Linda. Don’t mind those who can’t think without food. Linda walked toward Austin. Did you just said that to me? Yes I just did and what will you do? Linda pulled Austin back from going toward Solomon.Will you all just shut up! Now everybody bring out your camping tools and set it up,I don’t think you want to go any further with this useless fight of yours. I am here trying to think of how we would get out of here ,you are there fighting. Frank laughing out loudly .. I am loving this love show,thank God I don’t have a partner. Everyone eyes fixed on him with a scowl on their faces. Wow! Am sorry,am just trying to make you all laugh

My warrior, what bring thee to my little abode this bright day? The creature asked bowing down. The one eyed motioned to the creature to stand up but it refused..

Her sickness is not ordinary and need a special sacrifice and I have found those sacrifice, they are on the left path of the divided road. I am ordering you to capture them for me and I am asking you to use your power,your shadow, is that simple or I get someone else to take the prey.. The little creature reply fidgeting I will my warrior,it is an honor! The warrior walked to the door and looked back if you fail to bring them all here,you will be ripe into pieces in the dark valley..He laughed hysterically and walked out.
