Read Story: SEASON 3 EPISODE 2

“Don’t move, stand still” Christiana whispered to him, “You won’t want to talk, Cannibals have good hearing abilities, they can hear you from far” Karma whispered back and Christiana nodded.

She peeped again and the Cannibal was now close, he had his eyes on the tree they were standing behind. She took out her knife and took a deep breath. “It is closing up” Karma said as he held tight to his local gun. “What are you trying to do?” Christiana asked him,

“Watch me” He said and immediately rolled out from behind the tree, without wasting time he opened fire on the cannibal. “Karma, remember, they don’t die that way” Christiana shouted at him as she peeped again, the cannibal was now running with full speed towards Karma and he wasn’t feeling the impact of the bullets. Karma saw the cannibal advancing, his bullets were finished, he couldn’t think fast of what to do, he remained in his position waiting for death to come and take it cause.

He watched as the cannibal advanced towards him and was ready to bounce on him, the cannibal was now very close and he could see death coming, he lost all hope.

Just at the last second when he thought all hope was gone, Christiana jumped out from behind the tree and pushed the Cannibal away.

The creature rolled away so also did Christiana. “Run” Christiana shouted to him and without wasting time, he got up and darted into the bushes.

Christiana didn’t also wait as she followed him into the bush. The human like creature got up from the ground and also went after them into the bush.

“Where are you heading to Karma?” Christiana asked as they ran in the bush, “We will burst out of the stream path, this place lead to the stream, just follow me” karma shouted from the front, he never stopped running.

The cannibal was now fast catching up with her, she was amazed the kind of speed it has, she had been trained in all aspects at Newriton including her speed, she used to be part of the best runners then, she was the next after Gabriel who was the best. Now all that seem useless, her speed wasn’t helping her now as the cannibal was fast catching up with her. “Maybe, I should run a little faster” she said to herself and just then a hand caught her by the neck from behind, the Cannibal caught up with her. “Karma!!!!” She shouted, Karma who was some distance from her stopped and turned to look at her, he saw the cannibal dragging her by the neck, he knew any moment soon, it was going to eat her up. He couldn’t move as he knew there was nothing he could do, he happen to be the bravest village warrior but in this case, he knew there was nothing he could do.

Christiana wouldn’t allow the cannibal just go with her like that, for Christ sake she is a well-trained warrior from Newriton and she can’t just die without a fight. She reached for her pocket and brought out the small knife Karma had given her earlier, with that, she stabbed the Cannibal on the lap and it immediately let go of her. She regained balance immediately and stood face to face with the cannibal, it was a fine tall man. On a normal day, she would have fallen for him.

“Who are you?” she asked with the hope that it will understand her, the cannibal didn’t reply as it just circled around her ready to strike. She watched it closely and calculated its movement, she knew any moment from now, it will bounce on her. “You don’t want to get hurt”

Christiana said pointing the small knife at it, the cannibal stared at her and it was like it seem to smile. With a swift, it darted towards her but she was fast enough to weave him, she was just regaining balance when it bounced on her, she was amazed at it speed, she just weaved his attack and almost immediately, it attacked her again, there was no way she was going to take this thing down. “For hundreds of years, we have lived with the hope of this day, the day when we shall finally take back Tankute and all its inhabitants, that day when Tankute shall finally belong to us the Man-eaters, that day when I will taste human flesh again” The cannibal said as it held her down, it was now bringing its mouth close to her neck, it was going to eat her up. She closed her eyes and prayed her last, she had never been a good person, only if God will just help her correct all her mistakes and apologize to all she had offended. She deserve to die yes but not this way, not by being eaten up by a smelling, blood liking creature. Now she blamed karma, he could have just allowed her to die in the river, why did he save her life when she was still going to die this way. She opened her eyes to behold her death, the cannibal’s mouth was now on her neck and it was about eating her up when there was suddenly a flash of fire across its face, he left her immediately to behold who was with the fire, it was karma, he was with a stick of fire, he waved it at the cannibal again and the creature immediately ran into the bush. “Thank you, where did you learn that from?” she asked him, “A story my old man told me” he smiled, “Run” he said and they took to their heels, towards the stream.
