It was a set up! Jane white whispered as we buried ourself behind the dozens of Geepee tanks, they won't want to destroy their means of water preservation, and before they would get to us, Snow white will help us escape. I looked up at  snowwhite, she was suppose to hand us the rope, but all I saw was a smirk, I think she's the one that sold us out to the mafians, she corked her gun and I realised she was going to shoot but she was going to miss too, I won't die in her hand, or like my father, that had been my worst day, meeting my dad at his place of work, his head half buried into the earth, a knife sticking out of his forehead, flies buzzed over his plucked put eye, fear filled them, he had been a security man, for cows, the most horrible jobs, I think...

Snow white pulled the trigger, I watch the bullet as it cane,it headed for Jane white,she had missed her target; me. I dragged Jane, she sprawled across me just in time for the bullet to get stuck in the body of the tank, Both of us stood up and ran towards the rope of rescue from the left side . "Did snow white just shoot at me?" she asked panting, I smiled at her "Na now, you go understand wetin rebel mean, who dey give girls  DAT kind name !"

Jane stopped and stared at me, she was surprised,I gave her a smile and held her hand "We are still in the devils territory, remember?" She nodded and I smiled again.

The day my dad died,had been a blessing in disguise, I changed from a pauper to a rich kid,after seeing my dad in that state, I took his gun and did justice, killing the cows, Alhaji Ibrahim had been shocked to see me, gun in one hand, blood splattered all over me, I was just thirteen, preparing for some marriage I wasn't interested.

"Take me in, or I'll kill you like I did your cows!I had threatened the old man,I became his priority, especially since he had all his children out of the country, and I deserved better than being an orphan....

The ground came into view as I landed at the other side, time to go back to that dungeon.

Jane's POV

My heart fell as I saw hauwa,she was holding hands with Jane white, fron the window at least ken had been honest about that, she was a white rebel, Ken didn't see them, though still in the same room with me,and I didn't have the urge to even betray her.

Are you okay?he asks taking my hand in his,I nodded and he hugged me....." This wasn't what I had planned when I had brought you to the territory! He says smooching my backside ,I Nuzzled closer, though i felt for him what i shouldnt, the truth is that I have plans to run far from him when I'm chanced.

All is clear, let's go!

My phone rang, and I smiled, so Vivian and Clara are still alive

"Bae, you ve been missing lectures o, are you okay?

Yes!I replied swallowing hard

The class is dull without you, and there's no one to mock tony for breaking his leg in a fight.... I laughed before asking my answered question "how about Hauwa?  That girl is a b*tch....." Clara said, I could hear her chewing gum......."the last time I saw her she was following the dumb ass Jane white, like she's a duffer."

I sniffed, the girls, suddenly I'm missing them,their attitude and all

"Talk to ya later

. Both said at once, I sniffed again,I can't believe I'm crying over those b*tches, ken squeezed my hands.                 

 "They weren't really your enemies after all! Inodded and sat on his laps,he smiled, how I wish he knows that I'm planning to leave, I can't stay in this kind of wreckage, I'll run and never look back.
