My Scare

The Betrayal

" this thing way we do so nah fine thing? one of Neba's friends felt empathy for what they did to Ruth. He thought that what happened to her was so brutal and he will live with that guilt for the rest of his life.

" if you open your mob, repeat that thing again I go kill you" Neba rumbled with anger in his voice as he approached his who acted to be self-centered. we all deh for this act together, this girl deserves to die, or you no want to be my bodyguard again, for a walk for inside the palace of Olem, so that you go fit to get anything any woman way you like for this community? He continued.

with Ruth's body laying inside the black bag, zipped to the brim. not sure if there is any life left in her. " come quick make we throway this body for inside this hole before some man come" Neba said.

wait...nah which kind black forest, be this? one of them questioned. Yes, nah eh fine because once we don burial ruth Yi body no man no go fit know side where eh deh, and Nah wa guarantee be that say we be safe, " Neba Replied"

Neba knew that as long as they are in this black bush of lost hope, it will be dangerous for anybody to find Ruth's body.

the bush was pathless and silent, grizzled wiry. it was so frightful, with scary whispers echoing from the four corners of the forest, One of the Neba's friends murmured in fear, " will I be to live with this guilt...? he questioned his own existence, but again my hands are stained with the blood of the innocent, what is the purpose of all these? is it for power and reputation...? this is not what my late mother would want me to do, to take a life of an innocent girl.

how can I make do of all this guilt is suffocating me, I was part of the r**e, and I will soon be part of the killing... there is no running away, or changing what will happen in the future? there is no guarantee that we won't be making more killings. Neba didn't reveal the plans he had for his cousin, all he told us was to r**e a girl who has caused so many pains in his family, what made me agree to his devilish plans was because of the money and also the position I will be entrusted to, and the many girls I will be having, but he never told me of killing not to talk of digging a hole to bury somebody.

I need to ditch this team, and if calling the cops will be part of my redemption then I have no choice than to do so. It is really an abandoned forest, I won't be able to make it out alive even if I wanted to, it is going to be one against four, I won't be able to handle them all by myself, with Neba he is indeed a devil in disguise. If he finds out my plans am better off dead like Ruth, whatever her name is! Am genuinely sorry, what if she was my sister...? would I allow someone to do what we just did to Ruth?

I won't be able to live with this, it's better to try and fail than not trying. am putting my life on the line to save whatever life is left of this innocent girl. or maybe the hole we are digging will be made large to fit in two dead bodies hers and mine. I am going to wait for the slightest opportunity and I will go for the run, once am out of here I will go directly to the police and give in my statements, even if I don't come out at least it will be that I did something to safe the life of the innocent"

" Neba, please can I give a farewell speech to this HER; you know how it is, we call it the last wishes of the death?" I asked. " hmmm, farewell speech...? you with this your English, you di talk like say you be innocent man, anyways you better doam fast because that hole so, go be ready any time soon" Neba replied with evil tension coming from his filth mouth.

" with tears dripping from his eyes, as his feet stumble as he walks towards Ruth's body, we were supposed to hide our identity but what use will it be now that you are going to die, I want you to know my names, it could be the last thing you will remember as you depart from this world. am called Duroda, but friends call me Roda. I don't know but you should know that we shall meet someday and when that day comes do remember me. I know at this point what your mind thinks of is revenge for what we have done to you, I want you to know that I am truly sorry for what has happened to you."

as if that wasn't enough Neba landed a potent punch on his friend. B.A.A.A.M.M.M.m.m. the punch echoed so loud that it was as if a hunter had released the trigger of his short gun unto a bird. " you no well at all, you be sorry ehh, since when you be sorry for this kind thing, we di do? if you try, I go kill you right here, and now, comot for that place go start dig that hole" Neba said.

while he tried to raise up from the ground, the punch did get him on the right side of his face and broke two of his wisdom teeth. he dusted himself up with the help of the other associates. " now it will be very difficult for my plans to work, but it's going to be a do or die" Roda murmured.

"I must devise a better plan, which will create a distraction so that I can run and inform the police about his plans" Roda grunted.

dangerous things happen in the wild, especially a place like the dark forest of Olem, very few people attempt to enter it, except it was summer. it was winter with no one there; it was the perfect plan Neba had to perfect his intentions. he forgot one thing that after rain comes a rainbow.

the weather changed, there was a sign of rain, and if they didn't dig the hole and complete their plans rain won't only become a disadvantage to them but also them leaving the dense forest.

" rain don starts to fall, so we get to finish this thing fast ohh" Neba shouted.

wait ohh, you need to understand that nature has to play its own part at any time we couldn't have predicted the downpouring of rain, so don't blame us if the plan is delayed, " Roda said with anger, and pains he still felt from the punch he had received.

whenever rain falls the river over floods, becoming dangerous even to the living things like animals who inhabit the dark forest.

with confusion amongst them, with panic attacks, coupled with the feelings of uncertainty whether or not they will make it out alive, Roda thought it would be the perfect opportunity for him to escape.

with Roda plans in motions, just when he was about to quit the forest, running as fast as he could, little did he know that Neba had envisaged his plans remaining Roda that his plans have been busted, he noticed he couldn't run anymore, blood flashed out from his shoulder separating his vital organs, the sound of the gun made an awful sound which causes panic in the forest and also creating awareness of the existence of life in the forest.

Roda fall down, head pointed in the mod. he was unconscious, the rest of the crew thought he was killed, even Neba knew he killed him, well it wouldn't matter even if he died has, he was trying to betray the group by raining.

"... so, you think to say you fit run ehh...away from me? you see this mission so we must finish because the life of my family deh for line, who deh for here way want to disrespect me, I no care I go shout yi?" Neba thundered as he gripped his injured friend by the shoulder where he was shot and went straight for his neck, twisting it so badly so much so that you could hear the sound of Roda's neck-breaking like that of a falling tree. It wasn't even up to seconds and Roda his friend's body was lying dead beside the hole they dogged.

this one so Nah example for anyone of wuna way want to betray me, " Neba warned".

" wait, wuna di hear that sound, eh be like say some person deh come...? 

yes, boss, the sound be intense, some man deh come, " one of Neba's friend said"

pack wa things, make we run. leave all things, no man no go even nohh we... already Ruth dong die." Neba commandeered"

as they ran for their lives leaving behind, Ruth's body zipped in that black bag, with Roda's body lying next to Ruth's...

whoever, or whatever made that sound...happened for a reason.

it was indeed a strange sound... and they were coming from dogs who discovered the bodies...

the dogs kept backing for almost an hour until... what do we have here...? "He said"
