The blue floating flames kept lighting the cave walls as the little group searched for some clues. "What do you think?" Alyssa asked looking around. She was a little excited to return with everyone. She had not forgotten the fright they had felt that lonely night. But she couldn't keep on fearing being in the same place and also this time around she wasn't only with Adanna and this made her feel more at ease. She really liked everyone's company. "So you two... you're saying when you woke up you were already in this cave." Fillion questioned instead wanting to confirm his theories before going on with his investigations. Even after all the search, there wasn't anything that came to his mind.He had activated a spell to keep off any danger from coming in their way. Whilst looking around he had a thought, 'There isn't any holes or tunnel nearby is there.'Answering to his questions, Alyssa said: "Yes that's right, other than seeing that black hollow thing and blacking out... we know n
The three men stepped into the forest, the fog still thick as it dispersed leaving a path for Zane and his two friends. It seemed as if the mist had high respects for him and had obeyed his presence leaving a narrow pathway that was clear and curved at the end. They all walked on to the opposite way from the one they had visited a while ago. Treading on the path that was created for them. "So back to your spot again." Fillion started as he looked at the familiar surroundings. He had visited the place the last time he had come by. It was about five years ago when he had thought of checking on his sickly friend. He had come mid February the time when the Chief had been desperate to handle his last born. Zane at that time, had been throwing tantrums.. cussing at the two elders. He was a head ache, but no one dared to discipline him. It would have been easy to clap his pale cheeks leaving tints of red as a mark for the lesson taught but nothing like that really happened. Words were in a
It is funny how the two teams came up with excuses each trying to catch up with their teammates."Sorry guys we can't hang out for today, we have pending girls' issues these following days. It will take at least four days. Sorry guys." Adanna relayed the message on behalf of the team. This was hinting for their menstruation period. It was obvious that the other three wouldn't ask anything more. What they didn't know is that the boys thought, "this is our chance"They had spent the night thinking over what to say to the three. But now... they didn't need to do anything."It's okay." They all told their loved ones. Parting at that juncture Alyssa, Adanna and Theresa took on torwards their house. Don't think they were just going to rest or anything. No! They sneaked out of the village went through the kraals. It was past noon when they took off to the field, stepping on the dry cowdung which was to be used in farming. At least that is its purpose but how could it be used in a drought
Being weary of the two creatures in front of them, Zane tightened his hold on her. Alyssa was very scared as she shivered, holding tight on his clothes. She was reminded of that serpent. Surely she wasn't ready to go through all that again.Zane observed the two giant snakes moving about in front of them. One was green with shiny scales and eyes that were black and slit. It exposed its tongue moving torwards the two. It was grotesque and made Alyssa tremble with extreme fear. The second snake was brown in colour and very slim. It's eyes were black as well. It slided on the grass hissing and shrieking at the two who were stuck to each other like glue.The two unsightly creatures advanced torwards them as they started circling around their space whilst shortening the distance between bringing in the stench from their unwashed skins. Their long tubular -like bodies almost nearing their targets.Zane knew that they had no other way out. If he really wanted to protect her then he had to t
Opening her eyes to a new day, Alyssa felt them hurt as she was greeted by the natural light that was entering the room from the window. Looking infront of her, she found Zane embracing her to his chest. Their bodies were touching, what separated them was only the thin clothes which they were wearing. She felt her heart thump frantically as her cheeks heat tinting a deep red that could be hardly seen on her chocolate cheeks. She was too close to him. Closer than they had ever been.They were both sleeping on some blankets as they covered their bodies with a navy sheet. She looked at his pale face with his eyes closed. His eyelashes seemed long and his pink lips too inviting. She was entranced by his beauty. He still looked very handsome even in his sleep. Feeling her pillow move, she realised she had been sleeping on his arm all night. 'I hope he didn't mind.' She thought attempting to rise and sit.She was almost half way stretching her back so that she could sit, when an ache hit h
Trust and Asha were brought inside that shaby little house. Their wrists were tied with a glimmering rope which had come from Fillion's magical hands. It restrained them from shifting or doing anything that could cause any unnecessary trouble. In other words it hindered all their chance to run away.Asha looked quite scared as he followed behind his older brother, here and there stealing gazes at the four enemies who were conversing as if planning to get rid of them. He knew that it was going to be hard to escape. Each looked very strong. Stronger than his brother who had fought with more than a hundred enemies or preys on their way here.He remembers one night, several days ago when they came across a fellow serpent near the woods in which they were caught in. They had been on their usual hunt when they ended up entering the forest. Hunt....he wouldn't really call it that because if the master were to hear him call or even breath a word like it then he would be off with his head. Tru
"What happened here?""Where could they possibly be?""Maybe they went for a walk."Zane, Daliah, Fillion and Ekon searched for the four women who were dear to each one of them. They were so calm as if they knew that the four were going to be alright. What they didn't know is that they might have already been swallowed and were perhaps nearing the digestion area by now. Zane looked around the kitchen area. He searched for hints that could point out where he might find them. Looking at the fire place, he noticed that there was still little charcoal that was still red hot. He looked at the pots that were covered and put just beside it to keep it warm. He checked to see if it was warm. To his surprise it was still quite hot. After that he caught sight of the dishes on a rack. He had an idea of what might have happened."They never got out of this room." He informed the other three with much difficult. His heart started to pound with fright. His veins popping with anger. His blood went
The four ladies landed on a place which was unfamiliar to them. The air was really different from where they had come from. The environment was so abnormal, really peculiar. Everything looked off white. The trees, the ground they stood on. They looked around them only to see two women who were of the same height. They had white skin and short bobs that covered their ears. The other had black hair whilst the other had red. They wore white dresses that were tight and that perfectly wrapped around the curves of their bodies. Their features were very different. They didn't have any similarity except for the dressing and all."Who are you?" Resa asked stepping forward to shield the others. She was also a serpent she could at least deal with them. The other two didn't respond as their black eyes never left Adanna and Alyssa. Resa raised a question inside her head as she left it at that. "Come this way the master is waiting for all of you." The one with a red bob spoke already leading the w
