Blondie and Reddy washed and set the ancient bed the found in the hut, likewise the girls who were lucky to get three beds.
"You can now go inside while we arrange things outside," Reddy helped me up while. Blondie took the blanket I was sitting on inside. Probably to spread it on the bed.
"I think I will stand outside. I've sat on the blanket for a long time, I don't think I will endure sitting down again. "
It will make me look really lazy if am to go inside the washed hut while they work outside.
" I know you feel guilty about us working while you slack off, but don't be. You're pregnant Blacky, and as your mates we cant bear seeing you work while we can do that. "
" I Know you're really concerned about me Reddy," I made to touch his face, but stopped myself from actually doing so when I thought of one of the villagers seeing me acting all lovey dovey with them.
"We're more than concerned about you Love. Just go inside and take a nap, we won't take long in cleaning the surroundings. You will be even surprised at how fast we worked."
Blondie's words made me enter the hut despite my arguments about staying with them.
I guess my tiredness and their words made me decide to do as I was asked, and not delay anymore.
"Okay. Wake me up when you're done with working," I walk into the neat hut.
Beside the large bed at the side, there wasn't much in the hut beside a chair that looks older than life itself, but sturdier than the chairs at home.
I guess the wood used in making it is a strong and lasting one.
Before I went to lie on the bed, I changed my clothing since I failed to do so after my bath at the brook.
Changing into my soft black top and a traditional Isi Agu trousers, I finally lie on the bed to take a little nap as instructed by my mates.
I guess I really and truly did Need it.

"You're going to die Buchim!" Mistress shrieked. Her body partially disfigured, from her face down to her toes.
Her new look made me almost want to vomit all I've eaten because of how disgusting she looks.
The partially burnt side looking like it's dripping a somewhat red substance that's more like blood and mucus.
"Die!" she sent a ball of lightening towards me, but before I can dodge it, Blondie was there taking the hit of the fire."
" Blondie!" I rushed towards my fallen mate, but it was on use, Blondie have already died.
" I will destroy you all. Every last one of you!" Mistress sent a ball of fire towards me.

I gasped awake.
My body dripping with sweats as I thought back to my dreams.
Looking around, my mates where nowhere to be found, and the outside which was full with light was now dark, signifying I've been asleep for a long time now.
