My Madam And I - S02 E14

Read Story: SEASON 2 EPISODE 14

I and Daniella was left to fix the damage, while three guards watched us keenly. The wounded man laid on the floor in pain, grabbing his stomach and blood flowing out like an open oil can.

I knelt on his right wondering where to begin, while Daniella stood on his left watching me.

” do you know if there was a doctor on that plane? “. I asked.

Daniella shrugged and kept looking at me. I searched in my pocket for my handkerchief, took it out and placed it on the wound to stop the bleeding. The man was already breathing slowly by the time. He was apparently dying.

Foot steps from behind called my attention. It was an elderly lady holding something wrapped with leaves and a fresh tree branch on the other hand. Two young girls followed from behind carrying big clay pots.

The lady hurried to where I was and shoo me aside. I quietly obeyed.

Daniella was still staring at me, she wasn’t concerned about the dying man, her whole attention was focused on me.

As I moved towards her to allow the ladies do their thing, Daniella asked suddenly. ” you look familiar. Mike? Is that you?”

I was surprised she recognized me. Immediately I pretended not to know what she was talking about changing my tone. ” who? “.

She winced at me and then called assuredly. ” Mike! ”

I was stunned. How could she recognize me? I thought I was invisible.

I smiled a boyish smile and waved at her. ” hi “.

Her face now stiffened. She was now looking flabbergastedly at me.

” Mike! “. She called again.

I turned away from her to the man screaming in pain. The lady was stuffing the leaves inside the hole of her injury.

” where have you been?” Daniella asked holding my arm to draw my attention. ” Your number has been switched off. Why did you cut your hair? Why Africa? you left everyone thinking you were kidnapped after we found Tasha’s driver dead. What’s going on Mike?”

” it’s a long story ” I said and remembered I left Jeremy all by himself and immediately wanted to fetch him, but the guards stood on my way. I then stopped and looked towards the chief’s hut and found the little boy staring pitifully at us.

The lady had finished with the man. She placed leaves on the wound and covered it up with mud. Then said something to the guards who called three boys watching from from a few distance away. The boys hurried over and helped the wounded man up, then took him away.

I turned to the guards and pointed to Jeremy. They didn’t even bother to look at where I was pointing to, they just stood motionless like robots looking at me.

” why did you get involved? Now you’re in with me ” Daniella said.

I turned to her and wanted to say “because I have feelings for you” but kept quiet and waited for what fate had for us.

I and my crush moved restlessly turning frighteningly at any one coming. I knew they won’t harm me but I couldn’t say same for Daniella.

” why did you stab that man? “. I asked, trying to satisfy my curiosity.

Before she answered, some group of men looking like the same tribe as the ones that held us captivate, but tied a piece of clothe around their waits and under their lips pierced with what looked like little bone. They surfaced from the woods making battle noises. That wasn’t a good sign. I held Daniella’s hand immediately and waited for the men guarding us who now charged for attack to leave so I would go for Jeremy.

The guards shouted their battle cry and attacked. The one in front threw his spear and simultaneously jumped on the man in front of him, planted his mouth on his neck and bite open his throat, before one of the attackers used a big femur to hit his head and blood splattered.

The second guard attacked with his spear, stabbed one in the tummy pushing him backwards. Two of the attackers rushed on him and dragged him down hitting him with a rocks on his face and stabbing him all over.

The third threw his spear but missed, he ran into their midst, picked one of the men from the waist, lift him above his head and threw him on his men. He picked up the man’s spear, stabbed two men swiftly, before two men; one hit him a thick femur on the head, the other stabbed him from behind holding his neck. He turned and embraced the one with the femur, both of them fell on the floor, the rest gathered him hitting and stabbing him mercilessly.

I pulled Daniella by the hand and ran towards Jeremy. By this time other warriors from our captors were now rushing out. The ladies screamed as they carried their kids inside. The younger men ran into the woods, their attackers had scattered around, killing anyone on their path, everywhere was scattered in confusion.

I grabbed Jeremy and Daniella’s hand heading for the woods when Daniella held me back and said.” we have to get others! “.

Then she pulled her hands from my grip and ran off without waiting for my reply. I had no option but to follow her. This time I carried Jeremy who couldn’t keep up.

Three men from our captors suddenly ran out from behind a hut and stopped in front of Daniella . She swiftly set for defense the moment she saw them.

A long spear from nowhere stabbed one of the men in the back. I looked behind them and saw the attackers; the man with the femur and four other dreadful beings with him running ominously towards the remaining two men standing. I quickly held Daniella’s hand who was obviously was confused seeing another attacker and pulled her through a narrow pathway between two huts. Behind us were shouts and cries.

We got to a hole coverd with leaves and bamboo sticks. This was from the one I saw earlier. Daniella quickly rushed off towards a bush and came back with a bamboo ladder. I dropped Jeremy down and took the ladder from her while she opened the hole and we dropped the ladder inside.

” hurry up! ” she shouted at the people in the hole.

Four men and nine ladies climbed out. A black heavy man, was the last to climb out. Jeremy saw him and shouted. ” daddy! ” ran and hugged the huge black man on afro hair and full beards. I was momentarily happy for them when I remembered the other hole.

” run faraway from here. There’s another hole I need to go to “. I said to Daniella.

She turned to Jeremy’s father. ” take them away. Pass through here” pointing at a nearby bush. ” it’s the only safest place right now”. Then she turned to me.” Lets go!”.

I was shocked. ” go where? You go with them ” I said.

” no way! We are in this together. I’ll come with you!” She protested.

” no. I won’t let you risk your life for me. Go!”

While we were arguing, one of our attackers surfaced and shouted. ” yetuman Ketu! Ubafidi!”. Pointing at us looking at his adjacent direction.

I didn’t know when I shouted at my group ” run! ”

They all ran into the bush, but something made me stay. I looked around for a weapon but found only rocks. I picked up two and ran towards the man. All I was thinking at that moment was to shut him up from calling others.

I got few yards from him, he charged with his spear. I was scared to my balls but attack. I threw one of the rocks, he dodged it and wield the spear towards my head but missed, I immediately swung the rock in that reflex hard on his head and got him by his ear, he spun180 degrees and fell. I jumped on him and hit his head continuously with the rock and one hand on his neck pinning him down until his head was battered.

Daniella came from behind and pulled me away from him, that was when I realized what I had done. I just killed a man. His skull was opened, shooting out blood on different spots like a broken pipe, his tongue was out and his eyes looked aimlessly confused as his body jerking on the floor.

” lets go! ” Daniella said as she pulled me away from him.

I was yet to recover from what I did. The image of the man filled my head. I wasn’t thinking as I ran, I just knew I was running.I just killed a man was what was resounding in my ear.

Daniella stopped and slapped me. ” get a grip on yourself!” She yelled.

I came shook back to reality.

” where is the hole? “. She asked looking me in the eyes.

I looked around and discovered we had past the place.

” over there “. I said, pointing behind Daniella. She shook her head in frustration. And dragged my hands as we ran back.

On our way a lady ran past us screaming. I couldn’t help but looked at her big bouncing behind. And when I turned to continue the race, I saw two of our captors coming from behind her and they were close to us. Daniella pushed me and a spear narrowly missed me.

The two men approached us; one had an axe and the other a spear. The one with the axe swung it towards Daniella, she dropped on her butt and he missed. I quckly jumped on him dragged his feet from the floor, he fell on his back and dropped the axe.

I turned and saw the other coming to stab him with spear, Daniella jumped on him from behind. He pushed her from him and slapped her so hard she fell recklessly on the floor.

I quickly reached for the and threw it at the man with the spear expecting the axe to dig into him like I saw in movies but It flew passed him. He threw the spear towards me, but I was lucky to jump off and it hit his colleague in the eye.

I was struggling up when he dived on me and pushed me down. He moved on top of me with his hands on my throat strangling me with all his strength. I saw the wicked and mean look on his face as he drew his tongue out dripping sweat.

I couldn’t breathe and couldn’t push him off. It was so uncomfortable being strangled. I wanted him to pity me because I was young, I tried to beg him to be considerate since I wasn’t strong enough to push him off, but the look on his face told me he meant business. I was slowly going, I tried all I could in vain to catch a little air and stop the pain in my lungs and throat.

He suddenly stiffened and fell on my side. I pushed him off, jumped up coughing and gasping for air. That was when I saw Daniella standing behind him and an axe blade dug behind his head.

” lets go! “. Daniella said impatiently.

I ran off with her and got to the spot. I looked around for ladder but couldn’t find one. Daniella had already opened the hole.

Just then, smoke was seen going up from the village. They had set the village on fire. I looked around despiratly for a ladder but couldn’t find any. Then I went to Daniella.

” I can’t find a ladder “. I said breathing heavily.

” what do you mean you can’t find a ladder? ” she said and ran into a nearby bush.

I looked inside the hole and the first person I saw was the Chinese man. He smiled excitedly and called. ” bear slayer! Hey! Help us please!”

I nodded and ran off looking around for a ladder when I bumped into a group of the attackers few steps away. They stopped when they saw me.

We stood looking at each other for few seconds before they began getting set to attack, while I slowly moved backwards calling Daniella. Before I could turn, they were already running towards me. I took off and ran past the hole to the bush where Daniella was, saw her still looking for the ladder. I grabbed her hand and pulled her with me running as fast as my legs could carry me.
