Chapter 427

We stayed at our resting place till the next morning when we started back on our journey to the town.

Blondie sprinkled the blue thing on out body before he covered my hair with a Black scarf and asked the girls to do the same.

"When we come to the town, you have to keep your head down to avoid detection from the wolves."

"Reddy would have protested if he's to be here," Reddy sure wouldn't agree to cover his head with a scarf if he's asked to.

"He sure will," Blondie said.

I can tell how uncomfortable they're acting when I mentioned Reddy. 

"Why are you acting as if he's dead?" I narrow my eyes at them.

"Let's go," Blondie takes my hand in his without answering my question. I guess it's for the best.

"Is this how a market is like?"

I looked at the crowdy place. There were more wolves in here than I've seen since I was born, and just the thought of that was enough to make my heart skip.

What if we're to get caught?

It's like willingly entering into the den of a lion. 

I feel like we're docile lambs who're led to slaughter.

"It's not as crowdy as it was when I last visited. Wait till night comes. "

I passed a stall that have Much exotic fruits on it. The pink one among them making my mouth water.

Looking ay the fruit in a mesmerized way I wasn't watching where I was going to, until...

" Watch were you're going to!" a wolf bumped into me. 

The hit was enough to make me fall, but Blondie held me.

" Sorry sir," Blondie bowed to the angry looking man.

"You better be," the man glared at me before resuming on his journey.

"I hate him," I scoff in anger.

Blondie led us through a narrow way till we're way past the busy market with the many sellers if things.

Never have I seen this much things in a place. 

" I want that pink fruit," I stopped now recalling the fruit I was looking at earlier before I bumped into the angry looking man.

"Buch, " Ije looked at me in warning.

" I want the fruit,"

It's not my fault, I can't help but want to taste the fruit. It's like an urge.

" I will go get it for you," Blondie retraced his steps back to the busy market place we just came from.

"I know you can't control your urge Buch, but couldn't you have had a little pity on your mate?" Ije looked at me in anger.

" I just want the fruit."

I really do want the fruit. I feel as if I will die if I don't eat the beautiful fruit.

Why can't they understand how critical my want for the fruit is?

"Here you go," Blondie placed one of the pink fruits in my hand, and the rest he out into the bag he've been carrying ever since Kwofo brought it.

Isn't he tired of carrying it ?
