My name is Celine Good heart, am a Curator in the Amazon musem, My life drastically changed one night when I was coming back from work, around 9:34pm. I saw a child whimpering on the cold ground, he kept saying Mother, I approached the child, and asked him what happened, " my...my Mother was beaten by street thugs he said in tears. where is she now?? I asked with concern, they took her😭 he started crying again. where did they go?? I asked him, they went that way, the pointed the direction leading to the dark alley, "I tried to save her but they shoved me aside and I twisted my ankles," 🥺 I can't move, please save my mother 🙏🏾 he said in tears, he looks pitiful, don't cry I told him, I'll call the police. after speaking with them I turned to face him, don't worry they will be here in 10 minutes to save your mother, he started shivering seriously, I stretched out my hands and carried him, when our body came in contact, I felt this energy surge inside me, my knees became weak, my vision became blurry, I dropped him with force and he landed on his butt, he moaned in pain, my body became weak and I fell on the ground, he stood up and shape shifted to an adult, I couldn't make out his face because my vision became blur, what did you do to me?? I asked in pain, my body became weak from the pain and I passed out.
I woke up the next day, my eyes keeps flickering because it's trying to adjust to the light, my head hurts alot, I started feeling the sheet, the scent of the room is different from mine . I opened my eyes, and scanned the room, it's not familiar to me at all, reality struck me, I started recalling what happened yesterday, Oh my God! I exclaimed, I've been abducted, I need to get out of here immediately, I started hearing footsteps, I lay down immediately and pretended to be asleep, " she's still asleep" One of them said. `shush!' don't wake her, the other person scolded him, by the way have you sent for her? he asked, fuck me! I totally forgot, you better move your ass, if you still value your pretty face, he threatened him. I heard there footsteps receding, I jumped off the bed immediately, I need to get out of here, before they come back, I rushed to the window and gasped, the window is facing a scary waterfall I felt like crying, why is my luck bad, I tied all the sheets together in a way that it is firm and long enough to reach the ground, I climbed down without making a sound inorder not to alert them, I kept staring at the waterfall, it's now do or die! because there's no way am going back there. I summoned courage
and dive into the water, luckily I landed with my legs, I started swimming because my life depended on it, and I arrived at the shore quicker than I expected, I rested for few seconds to catch my breath, I started running without looking back, I kept running but I couldn't find my way back home, I kept going in circles, this forest is suspiciously quiet, there's something off about this forest that I can't place my finger on 🧐 I started hearing heavy strides, I know they're coming for me. I covered my tracks and climbed a tall tree, I learnt how to climb trees in our camp training, thank God am a fast learner, and today my hard work paid off, I laid down on the tree quietly, lady luck is really on my side today, they passed where am hiding without looking up, I heaved a sigh of relief and rested my head on the tree, I just need to wait for them to go far then I I'll look for a way out, I thought to myself. immediately they came back and stood under my tree, cause you lady luck! I yelled in my head, I'll just wait it out, they will eventually get tired, I encouraged myself not to give up. I started hearing hissing sounds, I turned my eyes and my Spirit left my body screaming, I hate Reptiles, infact am scared of them, where did the snake come from? I asked nobody in particular in a low voice, I tried chasing it away but it kept coming my way, I decided to beg it. " pl...please stay back 🙏🏾 I kept begging it, I promise to get you a bigger prey, if I successfully escape from here, Come to think of it our ancestors were acquaintance remember? Adam and Eve, it kept coming, and it looks furious, you know I never blamed you for deceiving them to take the apple, infact you're innocent, you know you're pretty, I started praising her, Instead it increased it's pace, my heart beat accelerated, I stopped breathing because of fear, I blacked out due to Shock.
