"Afroze! Afroze, where are you?" Anisa's voice filled their tent.
But there was no reply.
"Niru, she is not here! They could be here any moment!"
"Honey, calm down. I'll go look in the woods, if I don't return for a while, go and join the others in the ship, allright?"
"Niru..."
"Do it for your people."
"Our people."
"Our."
Anisa smiled and placed a gentle kiss on his husband's lips.
Go find her, Niru.

"AFROZE! AFROZE?!"
"D-dad?" An angelic little voice called from the woods.
Niru smiled with a huge relief. Seeing his little angel was all he could ask for.
She was a lovely creature. Her slightly red hair was perfectly complimenting her tanned skin.
She was beautiful.
Yet dangerous.
"Afroze, oh, I finally found you. Come on, we don't have much time before--"
"We invade?" An unfamiliar voice completed the young leader's sentence.
Niru thought fast.
"Afroze, RUN!"
"Actually," The man said with a smirk, "she is not going anywhere."
Three men, who were standing beside, the man, made a quick movement and tied the girl before she could more.
The tight rope was hurting the little Afroze's tanned arms.
"LET HER GO! TAKE ME INSTEAD!" Niru yelled in tears.
"Oh, nononono, you got it all wrong. I don't need you or her mother--"
"Mother? What?"
"Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention, she was stupid enough to follow you."
"W-where is mama...?" Afroze quietly asked. She was taught to be respectful to adults and never inturrupt their conversations but right now, she didn't care.
"Don't worry, my little Afroze, she will be fine at the place we are taking her. With your father."
Niru tried to yell, but his mouth was immediantly covered by huge hands.
"A-are we leaving?"
"Yes, yes, of course, you cannot be wasted in Africa. You will be my precious crystal."
"Where are we going?"
"To Britain. Come on, let's go!" The man smiled.
"B-but m-mama, papa?"
"Oh, no worry, they'll come afterwards."
"I'm.. Sorry sir. But I cannot come with you." His smiled dissapeared and turned into an annoyed expression.
"I didn't give you an option." And with that, the man hold Afroze by the wrist and started tugging her.
"PAPA!"
He tried to reach for her daughter but one of the men, who was covering Niru's mouth, knocked him out.
Little Afroze just stood there.
Tears blurring his vision, she turned to the man.
"W-WHO ARE YOU?!"
The man smirked as he entered his big jeep.
"Call me Lucifer, darling."
He winked.
And his men closed the door.
Afroze never saw Africa again.

Lucifer (/ˈluːsɪfər/;loo-sif-ər) , has become a by-word for Satan/the Devil in the church and in popular literature. As the story says, he had been jeoulous of being a god and said that he wouldn't obey to mankind. He had been cursed and kicked out from the heaven gardens. He went to Africa afterwards. A lot of Christians refer him as the reason of drought, war and death in Africa.
