ENALA'S CHOICE

demons of the past(present-day)

"Don't touch my wife! leave her alone! lam going to kill you! let her go!" screamed a man with tears in his eyes, while watching his wife being assaulted.

In the same room, a girl was hiding in the closet where her mother instructed her to be and watched what the men were doing to her mother, even though she didn't understand what they were doing, she knew it was bad, just by looking on both her parents' faces.

The girl wanted to scream and tell the men to stop what they were doing to her mother, but couldn't because she didn't want to defy her mother's orders.

And so she continued to watch as the men took turns on her mother. Once they were done, one of them pointed a gun at her father and shot him in the head while the other did the same to her mother.

The girl was shivering with fear where she was hiding but did not make any sound.

"Enala wake up, you are sweating, wake up its just a bad dream." enala's cousin Jenny said.

"l heard you the first time you called my name Jenny, you didn't have to shake me with so much force ." enala answered.

"I am sorry, what was the dream about anyway?"

"the same, like every time Jenny, me hiding while watching my parents being murdered," enala replied.

"I didn't mean to make you upset, and like I always tell you, you couldn't have done anything back then, you were just a child."

"l know and I am sorry for being such a b***h, what is the time anyway? we don't want to be late for our flight."

"oh no we are surely going to miss the flight, it's half-past seven and our flight is at nine," Jenny said.

"We just have to make it to the airport on time, even if it means having a five minutes bath." enala said.

"you are right, I am going to have a shower in Jacob's room while you have yours here, and please don't take forever as you always do or we will miss our flight and mum will not spare us."

"of course I won't take long, just hurry," replied enala.

True to their words, the girls didn't take more than ten minutes to finish their baths.

By the time it was eight they had finished dressing up and ready to go. They managed to reach the airport on time and got on the plane.

This was enala's first trip to Zambia since the death of her parents.

"How are you feeling about all of this?" Jenny asked.

"you mean about the fact that I am going back to the place where my parents were murdered? Well, I am nervous like hell, but also excited to make those Fuckers pay for taking my parents away from me."

"That's my girl, you know, you have been oddly quiet these past days that I started thinking you have changed your mind about bringing hell on those bastards."

"no cousin, I have just been preparing my self, I will make sure I take away everything from them, starting with their happiness."

The girls continued talking about how they were going to carry out their vengeance and only stopped when the pilot announced that they were about to take off.

The two hours flight felt like an eternity, for enala who was so eager to see her beautiful country after being away for six years.

The moment the plane landed she felt tears coming from eyes, she felt a lot of things at once_happines, sadness, excitement and so much more.

Enala couldn't believe her Auntie had finally allowed her, to go back to Zambia and that she was going to attend college there.

On their way home enala could see that a lot had changed from the time she was in Zambia, the roads had been made with tar almost everywhere, and places which had nothing but trees now had beautiful buildings.

"Are you okay? you seem a little grim, having second thoughts about coming back?" Jenny asked.

"I am okay, it just that coming back here has brought So many emotions."

An hour later the girls had arrived at enala's old house, the house was just like she remembered it, except for the paint which used to be beige but now it was grey.

She felt like she was choking with emotions, the last time she was here, was on her parents funeral. she went to the room where everything happened and looked at the closet where she hide

" there you are, I have been looking for you, "Jenny said.

" Sorry, I just wanted to see the rooms and check if anything needs changing, but everything is perfect." enala replied and then continued, "and now the only thing on my mind is making some monsters pay for what they did."
