Ihunde's pot dropped on the ground and shattered into pieces as she reached home only to find everyone on the ground, each and everyone she loved and treasured with all her heart was down.She stood at the entrance of her home trying to gain composure, trying to awaken from this nightmare all in vain for it was true everything was true her mother's body lying on the ground lifeless ,her father's body only a few steps away from her mother's even looked worse with big,red spots all over it spots that she could have sworn were not there before she left, her eyes slowly shifted to her brother's body that was more like Akatamba's . Ihunde was so deep in shock and disbelief that she did not notice that all the community was behind her also in disbelief and concern and one by one they began to make conclusions ,some said that it must have been their time to travel to the other side where as most disagreed saying the whole family can't just die at the same time with no reason at all. Then it all began, the accusations the finger pointing to the girl that had just lost her entire world .    

This is all her fault one person shouted while pointing to Ihunde then they all began shouting that she was a witch. And just like that Ihunde was awakened from her shock only to  feel people slapping her shouting witch and the next thing she knew she was in the air being lifted by the youth who carried to the oldest elder house demanding for justice. The old man came out of his house and without even asking, he just gave his judgement .Ihunde was carried to the boundary of the empire and cast out like a thief .She stood there and watched as they all left jumping and dancing and when they had all left,she finally cried in fact she sobbed like she had never before remembering ,thinking and tired , Ihunde cried herself to sleep
