This time around the journey seem more far than usual, she even expect the cab to be faster since it won’t stop at all bus stop, she was really tired of the long journey, she decided to rest her eyes for some few minute, she closed her eyes for two minute, she cab didn’t stop, by the time she open her eyes again, she saw two extra men sitting at her side, one at her right and the other at her left.

She was shocked and confused at same time, she didn’t know was to say, she felt they are other passenger but she didn’t expect the cab driver to carry another passenger, yet she couldn’t complain or say a word even when she had the urge to, was it fear, she thought to herself, it can’t be fear, she’s not scared, but she can’t talk, it was like they have been traveling forever, she wanted to take out her phone to call her dad but her hand won’t move, she just sat there, finally they got to a location she knows not of, it was all busy, the two men came down from the car and ask her to come down to, she obeyed to her surprise, what’s going on, where am i? that was the thought that was going through her mind, the men gave the cab man some money and he went away, they asked her to walk through a narrow part and she did, they continue on their feet for about 10min, finally they got to location that look like a mini village, there were hut in some place, there was a big shine, there some huge men at the entrance as she enter, in one of the hut, she looked into it as she pass, she saw some pregnant women in it chained both hand and leg, it was a disgusting sight to behold, she saw some men on the floor that look lifeless, could they be alive she thought to herself.

She got to the last hut and there was a queue of people lining up, she was asked to join the queue and she did, the queue consist of both men and women, both young and old, there was an old men looking like priest in front of them, he had a red object in his hand, he use it to touch the people on the queue head then decide which hurt they would go to.

That was when the reality hit Titi that she has been kidnapped by ritualist, she was trying to pray but no words could come out of her mouth, she wanted to call God name but it was like her lips were sealed, as God forsaken me, didn’t he hear my prayers this morning, what sin have I committed to be in a situation like this?, all this thought were running through her head as the old man was about to touch her with the red object, as he got to her front, he got angry and asked, who brought this girl her, can’t you see there is a fire surrounding her, the other men said they cant see the fire, he then said, if she's not taken out of the shine immediately, it would cause problem to the spiritual rite they are doing, the priest asked them to take her out and kill her somewhere else.

As soon as she stepped out of the shine, she began to gain strength, her voice was coming back to her little by little, when they got deep into the bush, she spoke for the first time and it shocked the men with her, she said they should excuse her, she would like to ease herself, they decided to allow her since they are still going to kill her, she started walking, she was walking and couldn’t stop, she didn’t know where she was going but she was walking, she got to a place, tired and confuse on the way to go, she cried and called the name of God, as she open her eyes, she saw a white Ram at her front, it started running and she followed it, she ran and followed the ram all night, until she got to the express way, she didn’t know how she got there, she try looking for the ram but couldn’t find it, she was back to her senses, she find a place to hide till the day was bright, when it was day time, she borrowed a phone and call her parent, they were already worried, she was in 3state away from her state, a good women kept her in her house till her parent arrived, but she couldn’t remember a face of any man she saw, as she explain all that happened to the police.

Since that day she never badmouth any one that fall victim of ritualist or kidnapper, instead she pray for their safe return because she knows only God can keep them safe.

The End.
