The Escape

Three men and a middle aged boy with curly hair stood around an a stone made alter. They seem to stare at a platinum artifact lying on top of the alter. The artifact is fixed inside a well carved part of the top surface of the alter. The carving was actually made for the artifact cause it fitted perfectly into the shape of the carving.

"Is it this" the boy asked, " Yh I suppose cause it fits the description" "Pick it up and let's go you might not know what creature we would encounter while wasting time here" . As the boy stretched his hand to pick the artifact he had a flash back of an incident that had already happened. He paused for a while.

"What are you waiting for an invitation just pick it up" one of the men shouted on him. He fought his fear and picked it up.

"Wow" the turned the artifact around, on the surface was RA as a writing on it. " So this is the last piece" the boy whispered to himself.

" Stop admi..." one of the men tried to talk but he was stopped by Vibrations which are being caused by the shaking of the building. The building looks like an old rock building built to host a treasure.

Sand particles started falling of from the roof, the roof started to break apart and fall.

They all turn around and started running towards a cube space created in the wall at the far end of the room serving as the door of the room. The distance between them and the door was quite large.

As they were almost half the distance a rectangular rock hanging directly up the opened space started to slide down closing the door.

" Oh No! we are not going to make it " , A muscular man running near the boy held the boy's arm.

" What are you doing" "It's the only way, and besides if we keep running none of us would escape, Soo.." the man said while swinging the boy around him he let go and the boy was sent sliding on his back towards the door with a high speed. "Yes he would make it" Without any hope of survival the rest of the men stopped and watched the boy slide towards the door.

As the door almost closed the boy slid under and entered a desert of sand outside the room proving that the whole building is located on a desert somewhere. Finally the door was sealed by the rock.

"Mr Aziawa nooo! ", the boy shouted out of pain and started to slam his hands against the closed door.

" Go Gladi you must survive, this would be our end but promise me you would finish this and defeat him" the muscular man said referring to the boy outside

"No, No, No!" Gladi mummered while he kept on slamming his hands on the door. Finally the sounds stopped. "Mr. Aziawa, Mr. Aziawa, are you there" there was no response. " Cult, Jack" there was still no response. Gladi gave up and sat on the floor folding himself like a ball.

A few metres away under the only tree that can be located on the desert was a boy and two girls sitting on a mat with meals in it. " Guys look who is out" the boy said " Where are the rest". The stood up and ran to his place.

"Gladi where are they". Jadi the boy among the girls asked him . Gladi unfolded himself when he heard the voice. "I said where are they?" "They.., they.. ," Gladi said pointing at the door and shivering a little. "What, where are they" "Jadi stop it" one of the girls stopped him. She bunt down and placed her hand around his neck. "So what has happened here Gladi" She said calmly. "They couldn't escape so they....."

"As u can see Jadi the were left inside". "How"

Gladi stood up and explained all that happened.

" Gladi it's going to be okay just relax" Eslier said trying to soothe him with hug and a pat on the back.

"So what are we going to do now", Jadi asked "I promised Mr Aziawa I would finish is Misson and that's exactly what am going to do" Gladi said with a little shake and seriousness in his voice.

"Okay Gladi we would help you "The two girls lamemented. "Get up Gladi we have a Misson to complete" The sun was high in the sky so the moved through the desert for like a while till they reached a Wooden made building built like a storage room. They all entered the building.

Three years Earlier

****

In a class room with a twenty students seated and two seats empty, there was a knock on the door.

Two girls entered the classroom. "Good morning" one of the girls greeted the other walked briskly behind her and took her seat. There was two black guys seating in front of them They turned around trying to start a conversation. "Hey Unnah why are guys late" "Long story, but I would explain to u when it's break, Now look forward okay. I mean now". "Good morning class" A white man with spectacles on stood infant of the class and greeted them. The whole class felt no need to respond because he was their history teacher that nobody actually paid much attention to. "Today we would be learning Kwanza, an African festival celebrated most of the central African countries". "Okay Gladi can u talk more a about Kwanza for us". He was really annoyed because he seem to always talk about black lives to the whole class when ever a question is posed on it. "Are going to talk Gladi" the teacher asked him. "Ernmm....."

*ring*

It's was break finally the boring history teacher was about to leave the class. They moved out of the class Gladi, Jadi and the two girls who came late were currently standing near the lockers. Unnah a white girl with blue hair was arranging her books in one of the lockers. "So won't u tell me the reason why you were late today. " " It's just that we had to ran an errand for my grandmother that's all." Esiler the other girl's phone was ringing. " Yh talk to me " ,

"What" Eslier exclaimed "What is it Eslier" She had a shock on his face. " What is it", " Grandmother is ....."
