Narrator Pov's 

Two years ago Steve and Joe.B were in a restaurant discussing on how to safe his land after unknown number sent him a message.

Joe.B was about telling him what he intended to do with the land papers when Vera poured a coffee of tea on them, so they didn't finish their discussion.

After that day Joe.B went to hide the land papers and did a fake one, so it was that fake one he kept in his office he gave to Steve to present to the kidnappers.

For now we still don't know where he is hiding the original papers and the man after the land had notice that the one given to him is fake.

But remember they had already build a company on the land. 

Steve pov's

Vera has been having series of headache recently so I took her to the hospital for checkup.

At the hospital Vera and I were heading to doctor Martin's office when I heard someone speaking with him in a threatening manner in his office.

I stayed at the back of the door as I listened to what was going on in his office, I heard a dip voice saying..

"Doctor we are here on a mission just co-operate with us and we won't harm you.

Few months ago a lady was brought to your hospital as a victim of an accident did she survived??" 

"Em-m Sir two ladies was brought here last month but one lady survived with lost of memories and the other died." 

"What is the name of the surviving patient." 

I saw from the small hole in the door knob that the doctor was going through his files,

The day the ambulance brought Vera to the hospital , I knew they were people behind that accident so I change her name to Naomi when filling the files.

"She is Naomi" the doctor said 

I knew what will be their next question so I quickly removed my phone and typed 

" tell them the patient who died is called Vera" after typing the message I quickly sent to the doctor. 

"What is the name of the dead patient" 

"Can I go through my phone for this message someone maybe in a danger" 

He said and removed his phone as he read the message I sent to him. 

"Vera, she is the patient who died. 

Are you sure of this because when we find out you lied we will come back for you. 

I notice they were coming out so I held Vera's hands as we walked out of the hospital to the car pack, while we were in a haste to my car I saw a man making a car immediately he saw us. 

"Get inside now," I said to Vera, when we both got inside the car I saw two men running toward our car and quickly I spark the engine and zoom off to the road,

On the road I checked in the mirror and saw their car fellowing us, I stepped on the accelerator harder as I branch to a junction I saw another group of Gan's following us. 

What the hell happening today, I graduated from level hundreds to one fifty as I stepped on the accelerator more harder but they were still following us. Now two different cars were chasing us

. I was looking through the mirror to know how far we've widen the gap before I realized the car falls in a pot hole and one of the front tire burst

The car started tossing from one side of the road to another they were also getting more near but I needed to stop the car before we get an accident,, smoke began oozing out of the car. 

I managed to bring the car to a halt as I jumped out of the car and held Vera's hands and were about running to the bush when someone shouted.... 

"Stop there before I pull the trigger" a dip voice said while pointing a gun on us, I hid Vera at my back as I faced them with my hands up. 

"The two of you lie on the ground" he said I was about going down when another car came and two men came out holding a gun. 

"Hey you, allow us to take them away or else" one of the men from the first Gan's who started chasing us from the hospital said 

The two groups turned facing each as they point guns to themselves 

"We caught them so we are going with them, one group said 

" No we are going with them we need them "

" If you want to take them put the gun down let's fight as a man, who ever wins goes with them". 

I was wondering why they were signing a deal with someone they haven't gotten, two men came forward as about to fight. 

Thy started to fight leaving Vera and I there to watch as if we are their spectators. 

I slowly held Vera's hand and slowly slowly entered into a near by bush, come and see speed. I run while holding Vera's hands.

I heard one shouted..." They are running" as I heard a gun shoot fellows. We run and got into a more dipper bush were they were no signs of foot path. 

"Steve am tired" Vera said, I was also tired but I needed to be a man so I carried her at my back as I penetrate through the tick forest. 

We walked for about four hours and we haven't found any road nor footpath,. The people were not following us anymore maybe they might have gone back. 

I dropped Vera from my back and saw that my hand was wet, I brought my hands up to my eye level to check what has wet my hand and I realized it was blood. 

I turned and saw Vera falling down gradually as blood comes out of her back I rush and held her by the hands as she goes unconscious in my hands. 

It was a gun shot, I removed my shirt and tied to her wound in other to stop the bleeding. 

"Sorry babe" 

I need to get her out of here before she dies, I carried her at my back as I tossed while walking in the bush. 

We walked for a while and I found a river, I quicken my pace with the last strength in me to the bank of the river , I dropped her on the ground and pour some of the water on her face while I pour some in her mouth. She cough and opened her eyes 

"Baby thank God you are back to me" . 

"Please hold on we are almost near a town".. . I gave her more water to drink 

and I also drunk some. We were about taking our leave to a path near by the river when I heard a woman shouted 

"Abomination, The chief must hear this" .. , she said while running 

I tried calling her but she had already gone, I carried Vera at my back as i walk through the path the woman took. We walked for few minutes when a man in his sixties came out from a narrow path near the bush to as ..

He was dress in an old shirt and wearing a big trouser, holding a machete and sack in his hands.

"Who are you and what are you doing here on a forbidden day??" 

"Please help us, she was shot and she is dying ,we lost our way." .

He looked at us in a manner of confusion and surprised 

"Come with me." 

I followed him while carrying Vera at my back I was very tired my legs were heavy and I found it difficult moving each step but I have to do it for my Vera to survive. we walked for almost thirty minutes before we finally got to his house 

The house was made of mud and bamboo as roofing, two ladies in their twenties came out from the back yard of the house and collected the sack from him

"Welcome Ananzo ." 

A woman in the same age as that of the man said while coming out from a small tent, there was smoke coming from the tent that will be their kitchen. 

"Who are these people?? She asked but he didn't answer, the two ladies were staring at us in a manner of shock and sympathy 

"Come with me " he said to us while entering into one of his rooms, I followed still carrying Vera at my back. He lay a mat on the floor I gently dropped her on it. 

 "I will be right back" he said as he goes out, not quiet long when he came back 

with leaf and concoctions.

 He gave her some of the concoction, and applied a green powdery substance on her wounds. 

He brought out a small pointed knife and slowly pierced it through her wound as he removed the bullet, after he had removed the bullet he applied some of the natural medicine on it. 

"She will be fine, she just needs some rest" he said, 

I stare at Vera who was sleeping innocently. 

"Please, food will soon be ready, come let me show you the bathroom so you can bath and eat something, how should I call you"?? 

"Steve and she is Vera"

"City people and their names, I am called Ananzo, my wife is Called Mame 

Ananzo and my two daughters one is called Akuba and other is Yaba. 

"What a nice names"

 I went to the bathroom room which was made of bamboo sticks and on the floor was stones. After bathing with the sponge Mr.Ananzo gave me, I was going to the room given to us when I saw one of his daughters staring at me with her eyes widely opened. 

I pretend to have not seen her and walked to the room, when I entered Vera was already awake but still lie on the bed

I went and sat beside her. 

"Hi babe, how are you doing?" 

"Where are we"?? I didn't know how to answer that question because I don't know our where about. 

"We are in a certain village just get well so we can go back home," 

I said to comfort her.... 

 We were talking when Someone knocked the door when I went and was Mr. Ananzo's daughters one gave us clothes and other gave us food. 

" Father said it yours" they said 

"Thank you" I collected them and went to the room, after eating I helped Vera to take her bath..... 

In the evening I sat at the compound with Mr. Ananzo and family, Vera was in the room sleeping 

"I want you to tell my family what brought you here.. He said 

I told them everything that happened before we got to their village 

"This village is in a festive week and whenever we are celebrating the festival of kundum no one leave the outskirts of this village and also no visitor is permitted here. 

Again that river you were coming from is our main source of livelihood therefore no one goes near the river on the first day of the kundum festival. 

I was surprised of all that he was saying.

"What happened to those who goes there on that day??? I asked in confusion 

" They are sacrifice to the gods, it is believed that they are brought by the gods themselves for sacrifice". 

"Which means we are going to be sacrifice" 

"Yes" 

"How will the sacrifice be??" 

You will be sent to the market square and will be killed by the chief priest and your body will be sacrifice to them..... 

My mouth fall open to the hearing of that... 

Steve you have run from rain to fire....
