The journey

Episode 9

What do we do now? We can’t go into this village. Look at that creature,they will kill us..Austin exclaimed and fear written all over his face. Linda walked up to him and held his hands. They stood there for a while thinking of what to do next. A big bird flew past them into the forest making a terrible noise. They all shivers from the effect. Frank moved back into the forest directing others to do so when he saw a creature looked at their direction and stood fixed for a while. The creature made a gesture but soon moved back to what he was doing. A foot steps behind them make them turn suddenly. Lady Bee looked at the human. She had seen them from afar and knew they were in trouble. Oh! how she missed seeing human for years. She made up her mind to help them. She moved closer to talk to them. The students on seeing her cowed around each other,Jeff took a stick and tries to warn her not to come closer. She moved closer putting her hands on her lips to warn them from making a noise. Don’t make a noise,I am human like you..I know you people are lost but how do you get into this dangerous place. If they catch you all,they will use you for sacrifice. Mary summoned courage and question her How do we know you are not one of them? I am so scared right now. She moved to Frank’s side to hold his hands. This is not a place to ask that question. The hunter will soon pass through this route and if they see you,you will be killed. My house is close to that house she pointed at a mud house near a tall tree. But how do you pass through those creatures. Wait here! She moved into the other side of the forest and came back with some dry figs and leaves. You all will have to walk bending down. I will pour these figs on you as a disguise. I am risking my life helping you but because I was once like you all before I finally blend with them. The suggestion make sense to them,they took the figs and covered their head. Lady Bee walked and they followed her bending down their bodies making it look like a funny creature. The other creatures looked at Lady Bee with this many creatures. They wonder who they were. She greeted them and told them there were her friends from the other Dark village when she saw their curious look. They made a funny sign greeting them. Lady Bee whispered to them to wave their hands. They waved their hands as they moved past them. A spider crawled out of the dry leaves covering Linda she saw it and began to shrink and make sound and was almost removing her cover. Lady Bee quickly pushed her to the front to move faster as the creatures wondered what was happening to the visitors. Lady Bee explained to them that they were happy to see them that was why she is making the sound. The creatures smiled and went back to their business. They entered into her house and removed their cover. Rose went over to Linda and slapped her surprising everybody You are very stupid .You want to get us all killed .Why did you have to do that the other time? Linda holding her face explained that she saw a spider. Debbie replied her with anger You saw a spider and you want to get us all killed? This is so stupid. Lady Bee quietened them and ask them to sit down. They sat down on the floor for there was no chair in the room. The room looked bigger than the view from outside. No light in the room for everywhere was dark. No need to fight. I know you will be very hungry by now. I have little food but not those fancy food you eat back home. She went into another room and brought out a bowl of fried big maggot. They looked at her and moved back from the food. She laughed I was once like you but I had to survive. it is either you eat these or die of hunger. There is no food you know here. Pius moved to the bowl and picked one maggot and ate. Wow this is so delicious. You guys better eat and survive or you die of hunger. Rose moved to the bowl so also the rest. They ate quietly and when they were done .They thanked her for the meal. She ask them to sleep a little to regain their strength but none could sleep.

How could you ? You have the gut to tell me to my face that you lost the rest of the sacrifice.. The one eyed beast raged on with anger and confusion was on the his knee shivering from fear. The beast paced round the room shoving everything on his path away. He fuses about how he is going to deal with confusion. Confusion lay flat on his face asking for forgiveness. The beast moved closer to him and pulled him up. He raised him up above the floor and dumped him on the floor. You know I don’t forgive. Warrior! The warriors marched suddenly into the room. Yes your highness! The beast pointed to confusion. Take the fool to the valley of Dark and sacrifice him. Confusion pleased for more time but the warriors already picked him up and dragged him out of the room. The one eyed beast daughter watched from the corner where she hid. She came out to meet her father. Father! The beast turned my daughter. You don’t have to stress yourself. I am doing everything for you to get better. Go back to your room and rest. She moved back to her room. The one eyed beast walked out of the room still angry and ready to destroy anything on his way.
