Chapter 6

☆☆  EPISODE 6 ☆☆

The battle against evil is not just for the brave, it’s a battle of survival.

We kept running for hours without stopping. No one will experience such a horrible sight and wait a seconds before picking a race.

After running for a while, we decided to rest. Dawn has already broken and we are still trapped in the evil forest. Due to the running we had, we all became fatigued and thirsty. We have no water drink and not a single stream is nearby.

” We need to find water, or else we will all die of thirst,” I said after I discovered how urgently we need water, the ladies are lying flat on their stomach, too tired to walk or move.

” you guys should wait here, while I go search for water and food,” I said, then I made to move.

” I will go with you,” Vincent said. But I declined him.

” No, you wait here with the rest, I will be back soon,” I said.
” Please be careful,” Tina said. I nodded then I head deeper into the forest.

After walking for about 10 minutes, I saw two dwarfs creature sleeping side by side beside each other. Beside them lied a freshly killed antelope. And not too far from the head is a big calabash which I knew must contain a liquid substance.

I hide silently beside a tree for minutes studying the two of them. Then I began planning on how to steal the bushmeat and also the whatever that might be inside the calabash.
It seems impossible for me to do, but I have to risk it. I tiptoed silently to them, stopping at certain intervals in other not to make my move suspicious. I silently carried the antelope over my neck, well the animal seems heavy than I thought, I stretched my hand and reach for the calabash. I checked the content inside and I found out its fresh palm wine. I wonder where the monsters tap a palm wine, no wonder they are sleeping like a log of wood.

I turned then I began heading back, I was a mile away when I heard their scream. They must have discovered the missing items and they must have searched for it. I know am a dead man if am found by them so I increase my pace. They were closing up at me so I head beside a big tree and I began saying some prayers. They came right of the front of the tree am behind and they began sniffing their nose in the air. Within a second, I thought I was caught but I was surprised when I see them disappear into the tree. I took a deep breath then I head to back to the rest. The walk wasn’t easy cos the animal am carrying has an approximate weight of 70kg. And carrying such an animal over a long distance was quite exhausting.

Tina was the first person to see me, she woke the rest and they all approach me with joy and happiness.

I was too tired to talk, so I just lied down on the floor trying to catch my breath.

A fire was made and we set the antelope on fire. We roasted the meat and we all ate and drink to our full. We couldn’t finish the whole meat so we roasted some dry for preservation. After we are done eating, we all lie down to sleep. No one will eat roasted bush meat with palm wine and won’t sleep.

We woke up at noon then we continued our journey, the forest seems less evil during the day but very terrifying at night.

After walking for some miles, We got to a very big river, the water was white and clean, so we rush forward and drink our fill. Just as we stop drinking a very beautiful lady came out of the water, she looks so human but I know she’s river goodness.

” come and have a swim with me,” she said. I was almost falling for her charm when something stopped me.

anyone that enters the river will surely not come out. I looked beside me only to see the rest undressing and making ready to jump inside the river. Immediately I noticed this, I voiced out.
