i hastily rose up from the bed and rushed towards the place I last saw my mates, but they were not there.
Where are they?
I rush towards the girls' hut, but there was no one there.
I became alarmed all of a sudden.
Where are they?
Suddenly the fears the dream instilled on me started looking true.
What could have happened to them?
Looking towards the village, I saw something like a roaring fire, sounds of humans can be heard.
The sounds they make, that of laughter.
Is my mates the ones in the burning fire?
Are the villagers burning them in the fire?
If so, why did they leave me in here?
Why didn't they take me also?
Someone held on to my shoulders, and I let out an ear splitting sound, one that's capable of waking the dead from sleep.
The small bush around us became lit with fire caused by either my fear, or anger.
"Blacky, it's me Blondie."
I relaxed in his hold when he said those words. My shouts dying in my throat as the fire went out as if it never was there.
"You sure can shout Blacky. I've never had one release much energy just in a shout." He chuckled.
" Where have you all being Blondie?
Do you know how worried you made me?"
Worried to the extent of thinking the villagers have made sacrifices of you.
"We were invited for dinner with the villagers, and Reddy said not to disturb you.
Actually I came to check if you're awake because the villagers kept asking of you. Obviously your fame have far superceded you. The little boy haven't ceased talking of you as if you're a sort of a god."
" A god?" I placed my hand on my jaw " hmmmm. I love the sound of that. Being a god sounds really dope."
Blondie chuckled at the serious look on my face "looking at you now, one would have thought you mean all you're saying, not knowing you're just a simple human."
" Let's go on. I think am more than hungry for some food."
With the thoughts of my mates' death out of the way, my hunger have come up at the forefront trying to gnaw its way out of my stomach.
"I've never seen a person who likes food more than you do Blacky."
I frowned at him "are you trying to say am gluttonous?" I glare at him.
" That's not what am trying to say Blacky. I mean you're really cute when eating, and I've not seen someone who can manage to be as cute as you are when eating."
Blondie rushed to defend his words.
" Better for you Blondie. It's not everyone that got to see how cute my eating habit actually is. You should count yourself really lucky you got to be a partaker of the goodness that's I."
" Yeah," he smirked " you're the only cute human in the face of Makoha. Every other person is a fake. You alone are the real deal."
