A young lady could be seen running tirelessly as fast as her legs could carry her.
"Run! she shouted to everyone there present.
Not minding what it was, everyone began running to their different houses thereby making the whole environment to be deserted.
Ekaette looked through the window after running to her house.she was panting like someone who escaped death itself. She is an epitome of beauty, she was the type of girl any man can die for though she was uneducated. People wondered what make Ekaette to tell them to run.
Everyone were looking through their windows to see the outcome of the situation. just then,they sighted a jeep driving into the village square and it finally stopped. They were all scared because non of them has ever seen a car before due to where their village is located.
"Mum, you see what I told you? Ekaette questioned her mum. her expression explain it all that they were all scared.
"Just shut up and let's see what is going to happen".
They waited silently to see what will happen.
The car door finally opened and Daniel stepped out of the car looking like a charming prince in a pair of tuxedo. He alighted from the car with his friends with him. They scanned the whole environment but found nobody outside.
"Mom, do you see that? Ekaette said pointing to Daniel's direction.
"It was human being ooo".
"But how come the rubber have tires and carry, it's obvious that they are witch oo because a rubber can never carry someone before".
Daniel and his team waited for some minutes but found no one outside the village, they looked around when their eyes caught anyone in the window, they will shut the window with full force.
"Dan, I think they are scared me of us oo"Emma said.
"You are right, maybe we have to come back some other time ".Dan said
"We should just try and say something reasonable whether they will come out"Emma said.
"No need of that let's go.
Just as they opened the car door and hop in, Ekaette peeped through the door whole and open the door too. Daniel eyes caught with her own and slam the door back and rested on it.
Daniel finally zoom off.
People began coming out from their hiding place thereby making the environment again to be crowded.
"What was that"?An old woman asked no one in particular because non of them knew the answer to the question.
"We have to be careful ooo, that thing we saw earlier I think is from the witchcraft ooo. "Ekaette said
"Shut up your mouth!, have you been to their coffin before? An elderly man rebuked her.
"It's better we run for our dear lives ooo. "Ekaette said again.
Everyone stared at her in a eye that says you are mentally unstable. she sighed and dropped down her head refusing to say anything again.
"Everybody let's resume what we were doing "Mr Charles said.
The whole place became noisy again as they continue doing different things.
