“Odenigbo!” She cried

Screaming with a high pitched voice

Running stumping barefoot

Slamming her feet on the dark earth

Blood prints gave away her footprints

She screamed and screamed for help

“He will find me” she said

The skies changed

All grey and musky

Everywhere is foggy all the way

The trees laughed to the right and left

Mockingly nodding

Scratching at her tiny hands and legs

Leaving tiny scars stained with blood

“Help! help!”

“Odenigbo! Where are you”

“Don’t let the spirit take me”

Clouded with a tiny bit of tears

Her eyes blinked

As it falls little by little

Gently sliding down her cheeks

“She had started to cry softly.

Odenigbo took her in his arms.”
