Being alive is not luck but natural intellectual survival skillCHAPTER ONE – ROAD TO RIYA The meeting was stated for 6pm and it was already 6:15pm yet Roxanne walked on comfortably down the busy street with no intention of hurrying down there clearly because she knew that the members of the youth group were born late comers–on the streets eyes stared at her, she was used to it already, it was not the first time, a lot of times guys have reminded her of how beautiful she was.

CHAPTER TWO – APEX PREDATOR At the end of that day at about 6pm, a loud speaker called on all the students to assemble together at the south east part of the hall, chairs had been arranged in large quantity, the chairs were separated into five columns and each column had 60 chairs. Getting there, a man with a mic directed them on where to sit“If you look at the ID cards given to you, you will find the names of groups written below, if you have Overcomers written on your tag then occupy this column, Triumphant occupy the next, Victory the next, Dominant the next and finally Champions occupy the last column over there” they all did as he had instructed them.

She sat up then looked around the room, It was empty and cold, the floor she felt was made of metal, she got up and touched the walls it was all made of metal everything was made of metal“Help! Somebody help me!” she yelled out but the voice didn’t leave the box, she sat down crying It was like in a movie, she had no idea what to do, could this be the end of her?She got up and began touching the walls maybe she could find a push button or something like an escape but the walls were plain metals and no escape. Checked the floor, touching the edges of the floor round, she felt somethi

They left the camp with two of the jeeps heading east towards the capital, as they drove through the dusty path Roxanne constantly looked left and right, in the distance she spotted a giraffe and an antelope eating a dead lion, she was stunned, Keith noticed the look on her face“Weird right?” he said“Weird? That’s crazy and creepy” she said“Everything is unpredictable in here” he said“What’s that?” she pointed in the distance at two black animals like jaguars“Vampire Jaguars… They kill preys for blood not meat” Amberjill said from the back seat“What the hell is that?” Roxanne pointed in the distance at a huge elephant with huge snake tr
