AMAL.

Beep, beep, beep, beep.

" Take me please leave my sister, take me she is just seven, please."

Beep, beep, beep, beep.

" DanAllah please do me anything leave my sister out. She is just seven please."

Beep, beep, beep, beep.

" Chop off one of the sister's finger and if she doesn't give us an explanation chop the second finger after an hour."

Beep, beep, beep, beep.

" Dan Allah please let us go please."

Beep, beep, beep, beep.

Memories after memories. Nightmares after nightmares. I kept moving shaking my head trying to stop laraba from coming closer. I was scared to my wits. This nightmare isn't over yet.

" Don't come near me, don't come near me." I kept shouting as I kept waving my hands trying to making him stop moving close, but he kept coming closer. He picked up a gun from the table pointing it at me while giving me that eerie smile showing his yellow coloured decaying teeth. I brace myself for the gunshot, cocking the gun, he took a complete 180 degree change and 'kpa' the bullet was shot at Jummai who was sprawled in a conner. The sound kept going on and on in my head. Rewinding each frequency.

" Jummaiiii." I screamed and sat up immediately. I can't fathom where I was at that moment. All that was going through my head at that moment was. Jummai was shot, Jummai was killed. My sister was killed. She's dead.

" Calm down Amal." A hand side tapping me on my shoulder. I removed the hand quickly not caring the excruciating pain coming from different side of my body.

" Amal calm down Jannah is alright." Someone's voice said trying to stop me.

" No Jummai, he killed Jummai." I dragged the IV strip from my hand. Warm wetness flow out of my wrist.

" Calm down Amal your wounds are reopening." Another voice said. I pushed the hand always and stood up. An excruciating pain came into my legs. My legs felt weaker than usual. But no Laraba just shot Jummai. He killed her. I tried to run towards him. My legs gave up, I fell into the floor, even if I must crawl I must get to him. I started crawling on the floor trying to get to him.

" Amal stop this, Amal get up. Doctor, Doctor." That annoying voice kept calling till I could hear nothing at all. Who the hell is this person. Was she also among the people kidnapped by the bandit. I kept crawling looking for a way out, till I collapsed without finding Jummai. I saw someone entering with white coat and I quickly crawled to her. Yes my savior is here. Let's go and find Jummai.

" Where's my sister? He killed my sister. Where is she?" Tears rolled down my eyes. I couldn't make out a complete figure of the person till I felt a sharp sting on my arm like a needle been pierced into me before I completely lack sense of my environment.

White ceilings as always, the beep of the heart rate monitor sound like a fly screaming at my ear. The ceiling was looking hazy or was it just my eye sight. My whole body especially my leg and chest hurts bad. I tried to sit up but I ended up groaning in pain. I stretched my hand to touch the source of my pain. My hand was pulled back by a rope connected to my hand. I knew I was dead cause death isn't this painful.
