Between the devil and the deep blue sea, there will always be a choice.
Agbaja and Amelia has struggled for survival against the dreadful monsters. It is obvious that they are the only human soul that has oxygen in the forest as of now. The hunter was there, there miles behind them , his hands layed near the spring and had struggled to find life. His left leg hung on a tree and it wore the left part of his black short and had hung upon to life still pushing. His right leg lay aidlessly on top of his headless belly and his head is no where to be found. What a terrible way to expire. And the monster may have escaped after been committed such atrocity or maybe fleed for his life after Agbaja had blown one deadly last shot on the hunters revolver on the ugly being, sending it flying on it's heel and in rain of blood.
The forest was getting darker and darker and They can hardly see each other, Agbaja spotted one big tree with a tick canopy and he glared at Amelia whom her face ain't any brighter than charcoal.
"Let's pass the night here", he glared at her, hugged her, her darkened shadow and they reached under the tree and stopped for a moment
"Pray to your God that our life shall not leave us"
"I will " Amelia responded with a sober tone,her eyes has feeled up with deep tears, she has seen hell at a place far from hell, Agbaja noticed drops of liquid on his palm. He drew her closer and kissed her. And all these while, they only see shadows of themselves. He bent her and both of them sat on pieces of leaves that separated themselves from the trees and chose to be with the ground.
"You know one thing I have noticed, the more you expected much from life,the more they take much from you, the more less you expected , the more less you'll receive " He stopped and held her by the shoulder and faced her and had affirmed,
"But when you look it in the eyes and say, I don't give a fuck,do your stuff! Bastard.
I tell you, they will let you fucking alone. Life is a bastard. But we die for it. I don't care anymore, be it death ,be it life, they are all shit. But maybe death Is better."
The more he speaks the less Amelia sobs,. He hugged her again and whisper to her that it's going to be fine, she nodded. He kissed her and they felt their body being tightly hugged for about three minutes or more, with Agbaja feeling her breast with pointed hard nipples and having the best feeling, kissing her neck. She felt the gentleness of the slow pressing of her breast and she moans silently and Agbaja loved it. They roled on top each other on the ground holding each other and with kisses for a moment.
They let lose with themselves, say some prayers together,which Agbaja may pretend to had done but nah. They lay on the ground and Agbaja watched her as she closed her eyes unconsciously. Sleep, the worst thief after death had robed her consciousness. Not bad.
The morning sun arose at the east and it can barely be seen due to the heavy canopies of the big trees in the forest. But the rays breaks through to gossip the sun to those beings that based fundamentally on the ecology.
Agbaja's eyes opened slowly, the environment is a bit dark but not so bad now, it's morning, and you can clearly identify someone, he glared around, The voice of hungry insects can be heard from their holes,ready to jump out for the day and scamper for food. The tree canopies is a black sky hiding the white sky away from the eyes. The huge trees that barely had a gap of four meters before another ,where filled with stumps with their parts, thick greens and sometimes held firm by some dependant plants.
He kissed Amelia slowly as she opened her eyes and she had gave a nice smile. They both sat and glare at each other with face filled with smiles and admirations. There's a little hiss camping from the east direction like a waterfall and it is part of their joy and it did brightened their souls.
Amelia sprayed her hands and he hug her again.
"My God!" She screamed and jumped with all her might as Agbaja reached for her hand and dragged her near him. It's a huge python already in attacking position meandering and it has hissed for whole long but it's hissing weighs like water falls. The python made a move and they dashed out from a tiny space near the tree root. And their heels where no more.
Though,They had escaped the python, Their strength had drained. Amelia glared at him like a dieng soul ,slumps and collapsed. Agbaja was just on his feet glaring at her motionlessly with an eyes full of tears. He couldn't help. He couldn't feel his soul anymore.
"Kpuaaaaaaa!!" A gunshot emanated from the east side and He turned and collapsed.
