CHAPTER 11
SAVING ABEO
That morning crystal and my friends met at a junction as they planned on my rescue, they divided themselves into two groups.
Crystal and adebayo went through the back gate while Gladys and mark him themselves at the front gate waiting for it to be opened.
"Be careful guys"crystal said to Gladys and mark as she took off.
They were moving fast as they looked around to ensure they were not being watched, immediately they started hearing footsteps as they quickly reversed and hid near a tree.
There three hefty men showed they must amongst the keepers of the dungeon. Adebayo started to breathe heavily as he looked at crystal who signaled for him to calm down and breathe.
The men were about to leave when they heard some rustling coming from the tree, they suddenly stopped as they walked slowly towards the tree.
"They're coming.... they're coming"adebayo whispered as he was about to burst into tears.
"Shhhhh........."crystal said as she plastered herself against the wall.
The men continued to Walk slowly towards them.
*********************************
Gladys and mark are still together looking around as they await crystal and adebayo.
"I'm really having a bad feeling about this mark"Gladys said as she wipes her sweat.
"What do you mean by that?"mark asked being vigilant.
"Are we sure we would get out of this place with our lives not to talk of abeo?"Gladys counted.
"The last thing we need right now is being negative, let's stay positive "adebayo admonished
Some men rushed out as they welcomed the priestess who had just arrived, she was about to enter the gate when she stood glancing around.
"Do we have any visitors?"she asked.
"No we do not... great one "one of the men answered.
"But I feel we do" she said as she looked at the area where mark and Gladys hid themselves.
She turned back as she entered the gate.
"That was close, that woman is really a spiritualist" mark said as he exhaled sharply.
"That's not the problem now, crystal and adebayo are not safe" Gladys altered.
*******************************"
Crystal and adebayo are still hidden as the men approached them suddenly they stopped as they were about to leave when adebayo suddenly slipped and fell letting out a shout.
"Oh my God"mark whispered with his eyes wide opened
The men turned back immediately as they looked at each other.
"Did you hear that?"one of the men asked.
"Of course I did and I know we it's coming from"the other replied.
They matched to the tree as they dragged crystal and adebayo out of the closet throwing them to the ground.
"It seems we have visitors"the men said as they chuckled
"Who are you and what are you here to steal?"the second man snarled as he raised his sword.
Adebayo laid down trembling as crystal was on her knees.
*********************************
Caroline was in the dinning having breakfast with a woman whose name was Lilian.
"I've really missed you my friend... I'm really sorry I've not been coming as usual"she said as she sipped her juice.
"It's okay, I know if you had the chance to come you would have....and I've missed you too"Caroline smiled
"So how's crystal doing?"she asked.
"She's doing well "Caroline replied.
"Poor girl, she hasn't made her decision yet whether to attempt her first kill so she could return home "Lilian said
"My dear she hasn't and I strongly believe in crystal she knows the right thing to do, this doesn't mean she has to follow my steps but I think she'll get through this " Caroline said.
Caroline was still eating when she noticed Lilian staring at the door.
"Is something wrong?"Caroline asked as she turned to see Mimi glancing at them.
"Did you just barge inside without knocking?"Caroline asked.
"Is that really what you care about Caroline?...huh...where is the girl you're babysitting?....tell me "Mimi shouts
"How dare you talk to me in such a manner young lady... don't you have an atom of respect left for me?"Caroline snarled.
"Well you don't deserve it ma'am, you're just here being so unreasonable and naive while your niece is out there in danger all in the name of saving her Human boyfriend!"she altered.
"What?...... crystal is in school "she said genuinely confused.
"School indeed....well I can see that because it will just be a matter of time before she'll be as good as dead. And that would be your fault again !!!!!!" Mimi snarled.
Caroline looked at her as she was lost in her thought she couldn't believe crystal was possibly in danger.
*********************************
I sat as I was weary thinking if it was the last day of my life, I recalled how our ship sinked into the ocean and how I struggled to breathe underneath the water.
At that moment I felt it would have been better if I had died just like my father, immediately I looked forward as I saw two figures running towards me.
I was certain who they were as my sight was blurry due to the tears gathered around my eyes.
they got to the cage as they shook it.
"Crystal.....mark"I said with my jaw dropped down in surprise.
"We have to hurry to get you out of here!!!!.... they're coming.... they're everywhere!"crystal altered as she looked at me.
