Beneath The Amazonian Moon

He Fancy Her

Umukai, the fierce headhunter stood over Ashley, her skin was fair and her hair a golden hue, a sight he never seen before in his years.

With a Swift motion he pulled out the poison dart from her shoulder, the tip coated with a deadly venom, he carefully sqeezed out the venom out ensuring it would not spread further through her body.

Hour later Ashley slowly opened her eyes, her head pounding and her vision blurry. As her surrounding came into focus, she realized she was tied to a bamboo pole, her arms added had above her head.

Panic set in as she saw the fierce head hunters standing on either side of her.

"What's going on? Where am I?"

Ashley crying out, her voice trembling with fear.

The one that was approaching her when she fainted stopped the gang as they went into a conversation in their language.

The headhunter stepped foward, a menacing glint in his eyes as Ashley backed and seated.

"Yai pë (drink water)"

Ashley saw her parents lifeless body as she looks at headhunter who held a sea weed in his hand with water inside.

She pushed the water away.

"Pai Umukai kai kai(I am Umukai"

He said to her giving her water for a second time as she pushed his hand away. He couldn't help himself, her beauty so different from the women of his tribe, he admired her blonde hair cascading down her shoulders in wild waves.

Ashley's eyes were wide with fear, but there was a fierce determination in them that intrigued Umukai. He reached out his left hand to brush a stray strand of hair from her face, marvelling at the softness of her skin.

Ashley flinch at his touch,but didn't pulled away. Umukai couldn't deny the attraction towards this foreign woman, her delicate and fair complexion stood out against the back drop of the jungle, making her seem like a fragile flower in fans as of thorns.

"Umukai yai pë wãi" (Umukai the white woman is mine)

Another said in his language as he pursued Ashley and pulled the necklace off her neck.

Umukai stick his spear next to the other hunter feet with a killer glare.

"Ko'wë yë" (Gives her back)

Ashley swallowed deeply as the other who pulled the necklace from her neck was obedience to Umukai, he give Umukai the necklace as he put it around his neck.

They all got on their knees as they journeyed again, tears sells up in Ashley eyes as she remembered her parents and tayna.

Umukai glance at her and was pulled in a deep hug from a young woman who Ashley thinks is her age.

"An American, Umukai?"

The young lady asked in broken English while the others loose her tied hands and shoved her to keep walking as she came to the center of the village.

The young girl had long, flowing black hair and piercing brown eyes with a laid of deep dimples as she smiled with Ashley.

She wore a simple dress made of woven leaves and beads so was the other ladies dressed except for the children who were naked.

As she stood there, her heart pounding in her chest as she was surrounded by the villagers and chief speaking their language.

Umukai and her other captors stood behind her, their eyes filled with a mixture of curiosity and hostility.
