Two

She opened her eyes, at first, all she saw were holes, thick dark holes, now gradually replaced by the rays of the sun, which made her dizzy, and her eyes feeling heavy. She felt a pain in her head, reaching her hands before her hair, a sharp pain hit her like fire, bringing her hands down, she could see the particles of dried blood on her head, lifting her head up, she saw herself in a room, she looked around her and she realized that she was not the only one caged in the room, she has never seen children gathered so much in a single room, unless they were been told a story, and she could not remember her parents bringing her in here, her fudgy mind was so slow to grasp what entirely happened the previous day. Looking around her, she tried to start a communication with the people beside her, but they looked.......lost, like they were in a daze and malnourished, and she don't know if they will respond to her. Opting to keep her mouth shut, she hoped her parents arrive soon, from wherever they were, and take her away from these creepy place. Then she felt someone looking at her, scanning through the room, her eyes jammed with another child, who could be a year younger than her, she realized the child was intently staring at her, not removing her focus from him, she realized he was one of the children in the village, how was that possible, looking around, these time, capturing each face, figuring the familiarity in them. She saw Rachel, even with her thick black hair which had turned brown, she recognized her, Rachel turned facing her, she looked surprised like her, Alexia stood up walking towards her, she say down, wondering what must have happen between these few hours, 

"Rachel, what happened"

She asked, these didn't look like someone was about to tell her a story, 

"You don't remember anything"

She asked, looking at her,

Alexia was confused, how was everyone she knows from the village caged up in here, her thought was cut off, when she heard a scream from the frontage, the door opening, adding light to the room, revealing a huge man, whose figure was familiar, trying to figure out where she had met him, then it clicked in, looking around her again, her heart quickened, remembering what her mother always tells her when ever she had a panic attack like these, breathing in, breathing out, steadily, till you are back to your normal breathing rymth.

She looked around the room again, these time looking for her sister, something was wrong or right, and she hoped her little sister was not in these kidnapped room.

Not able to find her sister, she saw the huge Man dumping a little girl on the ground, maybe she was dead, or terribly sick, and he dumped her like that, like a sack, his face now turned facing her, he was like one of those beast her father tells her in the moonlight, his face rough, wild scars making his face look like a real beast, then the word granullas clicked in her head, where had she heard these before, she thought trying so hard to remember, then again it clicked, these time heavily, she remembered sewing, her father's arrival, the family's dinner, the screams, the banging on the door, the underground, then the breaking down of the door, and her trying to escape but was unluckily caught, but she knew something was missing, a huge detail was missing, then it clicked in, it was a father, she remembered seeing her father's head rolling on the floor, when he had asked her to escape. A terrifying scream erupted out from her lips, and she couldn't stop the sobs that escaped her lips, her father had been murdered, under her eyes, it was a night mare she will never forget, and now, she do not know if her mother and junior sister was alive, was her sister taken too, since she herself was also taken, maybe, she was not gonna see her mummy and sister again, especially her sweet Papa, her visions was blurry, covered with her tears, and she couldn't see the huge man coming towards her.

"If you don't shut these mouth of yours, am gonna cut it open, and you will be sent to an early grave"

The huge man said, looking at her once more, before walking out from her presence.

"Where am I, where are my parents, my family, I wanna go home please, I saw how they had killed my papa, in cold blood, I can't think I can survive these"

She said hoping the huge man pitied her, and maybe free her from these anguish she felt.

The man stopped walking, turning towards her, striding towards her again like a predator, he stopped walking, bending down, he bent down to her eye level, she saw the most devilish face she had never seen before in her entire ten years of living, 

"If I hear your voice again, I will make sure I cut off your tongue, plug out your tongue, plug out your eyes and eat them raw little human"

He said now standing up, walking out and closing the door, leaving the room dark once again, with just a little light coming out from the windows, she was scared of having her eyes plugged off, and her eyes eating. 

A scent hit her, something which smelt like her, she always perceived that scent from her parents, was her parents here, she turned looking around, trying to know who owns such scent, then her eyes made contact with a boy, he had a blue eyes, and he looked older than her, he crawled towards her, trying to figure out who was, he stopped beside her, sitting down on the little space beside Her, she looked at him, he looked back a smile on his face. He was human like her, she knew he was a human, because only human gets to smell like that, like the way she smelt. And it was unusual, for human to perceive how other creatures smelt like.

"Do you Wanna escape"

He asked, she was surprised at his question, Rachel was shocked too at his words, no one ever tried to escape, from what she had seen, these place does not look like a place for playing hide and seek.

"Yeah, I wanna escape, but who are you"

She asked, feeling cautious And scared,

"Am a human like you, what do you expect, to see a wolf or vampire or maybe a zombie, sitting beside you. Well, I want to escape these place, heard is not a safe place for human like us and if we don't escape from here now, we will be stuck in here for a long time or maybe forever"

He said, looking around him, to know if someone was looking at him.
