Episode 28
After Martin sent the text he said we had to
move, because the police might trace it, dragging me up to my protest, he pulled me to my feet from where I had remained on the floor drowning in my sorrows at having lost Sean
âGet up b—hâŠwe need to leave now..donât let me hit youâ, he pulled me up but I slumped to the floor, if there was a possibility of us being found, I had to find a way to delay us, he sighed and went to the other door to lock it, when he turned I held the knife I had fetched while he was away from the room, the knife pinning my picture to the wallâŠhe stared at me incredulously
âNow what are you going to do with that?âhe dropped the bags he was holding, to say I was scared was an understatement, I had never held a knife before, except to cook of course
â Stop..donât come close..I ll use itâI managed to say but he walked closer to me, and stared me in the eye when he got within an inch
âgo ahead..do itâ
The knife began to shake in my hands, he took
the knife and threw it away, grabbing me by the shoulders to my screams he dumped me on the bed, I bounced on it as he came on top
âYou want to play uh..Iâve always imagined you ll
like it roughâ he took my hand and bent it
backwards, I kicked at him as we fought on the bed
âNoâŠplease..stop itâ I kicked and scratched at him as he tore my top, we both paused at itâŠ
âI think I was rightâ he said with a leer and came close again, I decided there and then that it was a do or die affair, I wasnât going to go down without a fight, I was tired of being seen as weak and taken advantage of, my innocence was what brought me here in the first place. I went
between his legs and grabbed at the knife,
placing it on my neck
âIâll kill myself Martin. Iâm sure youâll enjoy it more with a dead bodyâ
ââCome on..you know youâre not gonna do something stupid like that.. I promise I ll be
gentle..âhe snapped his fingers at meâ I do not have time for this Emilia,â When I didnât respond, he cracked his neck and stood up, his glare at me was evident, he stretched his hand
â let me have the knife âhe said calmly
âMartin I swear if you come close.. I ll kill youâ I discovered I mearnt it
He stared at me âIâd like to see you do thatâŠdo you know what it means die in the arms of your loverâhe said with a smirk
âYouâre sickâI said
He scratched his face and moved forward âyeah
I am, now let me have itâŠ..LET ME HAVE IT
EMILIA!âhe shouted then laughed âthis girl thinks she canâŠthreaten meâhe speed walked towards me but when he got close the knife went through
him, at first we both couldnât believe it, as I
looked at the blood pooling, then he grabbed at my neck and flung me on the bed, he removed the knife, weaker now as he looked at me with venom in his eyes, I looked around for something, anything..my eyes landed on a bottle he had been drinking from on the floor of the bedâŠhe got back on the bed and gave me a dirty slap, my face burned as he dragged me down, he was more angry now and determined more than ever to get what he wanted, I pushed at him in protest and got another slap, My head was
spinning and my eyes were black with tears, I
was almost giving up but knew I couldnât, I
couldnât give up, I had to be strong, I had to
remain strong, kicking between his legs I
reached for the bottle and broke it on his
headâŠhe fell back with a shout, but I wasnât
done, I grabbed at the knife and stabbed him
again..then again and threw away the knifeâŠ.he tried to get up but la!d backâŠI knew then I had to go..
I went towards the door, weak, broken and in
pain
â Emilia.. EmiliaâŠI love you âhe said stretching his hand toward me, I looked at him for long, then opened the door and went out.
The first thing I saw was nothing, it was a
deserted place, I had no idea where I was, but I knew I had to leave soon, because I had only stabbed him to weaken him, he might get up in no time, closing my torn top the best I could, I began to limp along the lonely road lined with bushes, glancing back severally to see of he was following, I didnât see any house or human for ten minutes before I saw a house, but it was deserted, it was obvious I was in a village, but where.. there was no one again for another five minutes as I kept walking, stumbling and looking
back to see if he was coming, he wasnât, if he didnt get help, he might die of internal bleeding but I so did not care.
I continued on my journey, not looking back as I finally saw someone coming towards me, he was an elderly man, he looked at me skeptically
â helo sir..please where am i ?âI asked in my local dialect
âIdumwina..â
âUh..?â
âJust keep walking, you ll see the main roadâ he said, I nodded and continued on my journey getting weaker as I hadnât eaten for daysâŠ.
I finally came out to the main road and
discovered I was close to school after all, I had
been kept in one of the communities in Ugbowo, Idunmwina, no one would have thought to look for me there, it was too close to school, he hadnât taken me far at all, I had been right under their noses, limping towards a girl who looked at me weirdly, I didnât want to reason how I looked
like right now, I begged for her phone, I dialled
Seanâs number which I had memorized but he didnât pick, I decided to try Serena, I should have called my parents or Rebecca but I had one thing on my mind throughout my kidnap, and it was SeanâŠShe picked on the second ring
âHello..âshe sounded skeptical
âIs Sean gone?â
âEmilia?â I almost cried at hearing her voice
again, but I needed to know something which
was more important to me than anything else
âEmilia, where have you..â
â Is he gone?âI askedâŠ
I feared her answer when she became quiet then said
âYesâŠheâs gone we canât find him and..â I cut and kept the phone. I felt my world had fallen apart, Martin had succeeded in his game, I knew I caused most of it, I never should have led both on butâŠwhy does it have to end this way?
âAre you okay..do you need help?âthe girl asked as I discovered I was crying, I nodded then stood up from where I had squattedâŠ
â I need to..âI began but stopped as Sean stood there staring at me, he looked down me at my torn clothes and hair, with bare feet, I didnât care, I just ran into his arms as he held me close to him..I sqÂŁÂŁzed him tight in tears, he caressed my hair
â I thought Iâd lost you âhe said inhaling my hair
â me tooâŠIâm so sorryâ
âI need to see the b—–d, you need to take me to himâhe said looking me in the face, I leaned and kissed him
â I have you SeanâŠ.thatâs all that matters,
nothing else mattersâ I hugged him again.
*so arrgh sheâs safe..but who can guess how Sean found her.?
