ME AND MY DANCE

Chapter 27

Chapter 27:- Winner.

Damilola was taken to a building which she couldn't recognise. and after a while woke up from the deep slumber she was placed in. When she woke up

"You are awake."

"Who are you and what do you want?"

"Don't you recognise me?"

"Am I meant to?" She asked in a nonchalant tone.

"I will only say this for the last time, let me go." Damilola said.

The man smiled, then called all the huge men standing behind.

"Do you know any of them?"

Damilola immediately recognised them. They were the ones from the day before ordered by the woman who got her husband killed to kill her.

"Ahhhhhh, I remember you, I guess the police didn't hold you down for long. You should really have begged the police not to release you,  you know, because compared to the beating you are going to receive from me today, prison  is better."

All the men burst into laughter.

You are just a tiny thing there really is nothing you can do.

By the way, listen to me, "The woman whose husband you killed, ordered us to do anything to you before killing you. You are so pretty, we wouldn't mind taking rounds with you, you know."

"Guys, why don't we negotiate. That woman isn't in her right senses. Her husband isn't the only one in this world that has been murdered, you know, she is taking things to far, but anyways, let's just call it a day. Release me and let me go or else you would have to join her husband in his grave."

"Nah. That would be you joining him. I am a bit sorry for you though, because you would also be dealt with by him, when you meet with him." The huge man, said.

"Since you won't listen to my well meant advice, let's just get this over with."

"I agree, where do we start from?"

"From me beating your asses." She said, standing up from her seat and landing a kick on his face.

The man was sent flying in the air.

The man was shocked. He was sure he tied her down to the chair. What on earth was the matter?

"You could not even search me well, before tying me up," she said, revealing the knife in her hands.

"How was I supposed to know you would carry a knife work?"

"Anything could happen, you should have searched in case anything happens."

"Whatever, you can't leave here alive anyways."

"If you say so, anyways, please permit me to take a video. You can just delete it after killing me," she said.

She walked to a place with good view, as the eyes of all the men there followed her. Where did she find such confidence? She is about to die for Christ sake. She looks too calm for someone about to be killed.

After a while,  she said, "You know what? You all, come at me at once. I don't have time."

"We won't do that to a woman." The man said with a smile.

"Be gentle with her, guys." the man ordered.

They began walking towards her one by one and with  hard punches and kicks, they were beaten up almost to a pulp.

They still didn't want to accept defeat, so, they all stood up and charged towards her all together.

In about thirty minutes, they were all laying on the ground, groaning in pain. They no longer had the strength to continue the fight.

Damilola saved the video, then took pictures of them on the floor as she walked out of the room.

Before she left, she instructed, "Avoid me next time, or I won't be giving you just a simple beating."

Finally she walked out. If she kept missing work like this, she will become jobless.

Few days ago, she was in the hospital, now kidnapped. What ears will listen to that?

Why were things this way all of a sudden? Did she become a celebrity? Who was she going to start apologizing from? By the way, why wasn't she queried for not coming to work days ago?

************
The week went by fast and soon it was the day the winners of the duet competition will be announced.

Damilola drove there immediately.

All through the week, she didn't hear from Dave and she didn't care either.

Soon, the announcement began.

"The competition was fierce and you all did well for this competition," Mrs Rogers said.

"Today, I will be announcing three things, the new captain and the winners of the duet competition and the ones who will represent us for the solo competition." Mrs Rogers said.

"I will start with the solo competition, picking the winner of this solo competition wasn't an easy task but finally we came to a decision. The winner of the solo competition goes to no other person but Barbara Walker." Mrs Rogers said. Following that, was a round of applause.

Damilola had gone to meet Mrs Rogers earlier to exclude her from the solo because she wasn't sure she could do it well, this made Barbara the Solo representative.

"The winners of the duet competition wowed me with their duet. There was great team work in their dance and I loved it but before I announce the winners, I will like to commend and reprimand you on your good works and mistakes in this duet."

"Firstly, I will start with Barbara Walker and her partner. I have nothing good to say about your dance as a duet because it didn't seem like a duet to me but more like a solo. Barbara, this duet only portrayed you as a good dancer. We didn't see much of your partner. I'd like you to keep in mind that a duet portrays team work."

"Next, Karen and Partner. Your duet today was splendid and a lot of team work was shown but there were some mistakes with your steps which I'd advice you work better on."

She went on to mention more people as she mentioned Dave and Damilola in between.

Dave and partner, your dance was splendid, except for the fact that you focused more on acting than dancing. This is a dance studio not a movie set. It would have been much better if that was acted as a movie. All you portrayed the other day, could have been portrayed through dance if you had rehearsed better." she said giving them a meaningful look. "Never the less, you both did well."

"So, to the winners of today's duet. The winners are Karen and partner. Congrats you two."

Damilola was excited to hear that, she won't have to dance with that arrogant dude again.

"Lastly, to the new captain. This new captain has the right to choose his/her assistant, whenever he/she wants. With a round of applause, let's invite the new captain, Dave Richardson."

Damilola's eyes widened in hearing the announcement. What? Dave Richardson? She was really in for it. Dave hates her.

Few minutes later the meeting ended and they all went home.

Days after the announcement, rehearsals for the competition started.

A month later, on a Saturday, Damilola was taking a walk around the area where she lives, when a black Maybach pulled up in front of her with like four convoy of cars.

A man came down from the car, greeted her and opened the back seat for her to get in.
