Running. Running as fast as I can . The footsteps, heavy footsteps are are getting louder. Still runnunig. I can't let them catch me - NO - I won't let them. The smoke oh the smoke is burning my lungs. Don't breathe, keep it steady. CRACK. A branch...near me! The footsteps they are getting closer. I push myself as far as I can evan though my body is for screaming air and my breathing comes out as shallow gasps I keep running. I don't dare stop, not evan for a second. I won't risk that."Laphaya !" No, they can't be near me. I have to keep going. " Woza yena phezu lapha" This can't be happening. "I bamthola" The voice is deep and it's coming for me. "Gottacha" NO!!! The hand is strong and it swings me around without any resistance. "Your a pretty one. Yeah we are defiently going to get some work out of you." My capture reminds me of my best friends umyeni with a bulldog face and the devils eye that work their way down my body. Im in HELL. I try to pull away,but he is too strong. He pulls me closer where i am up to his chest. I feel his hot breath on my neck. It sends shivers down my spine.....and I don't like it. "What trying to run away from your daddy?" Daddy? Oh where are you? I'd give anything to see you right now. Did you make it out the esivuthayo ? Are you alive, or are you- NO- my dad is too strong for that. He has to be alive......he is. I look up into his hell fire eyes and find nothing but a void of lust. He licks his lips like a predator fantasizing abouts it's prey. Disgusting. I start to struggle again, but he has a iron grip. New plan. I kick him where it matters and he doubles over.It gives me enough time to escape, and before you know it i am running again, but before you know it i hear footsteps behind me. Not just any footsteps angery ones. Ignore it and just keep running.
