Episode 12

They arrived at swampy area, the big lake was brownish in colour with lots of over grown green plants.

Olamma’s loud cry has turned into a whimper by now. She was looking like a lost child as she followed.

Onrah stopped by the dirty looking swamp.
Olamma’s fear began to grow again.
She wondered what he plans to do this time or probably to bid his remaining friend goodbye like he has said earlier.
She was scared of whatever action Onrah was about to perform.

She took few steps away and was careful of the swamp that was on the both sides of the road.

There was a grunting noise coming from there. Olamma wish she can shut her ears from the terrifying noise.

But even as she tries to do so the noise increased.

Olamma was afraid but it appears that there is no escaping route for her.
Even if she escape, how will she get pass all the terrifying things on the road and locate a road to the humans.

Is been over a week that they have been on a journey from one thick forest to another. Moving from bush path to river and then to a deserted mountains.

No sign of human, only them on the road and now her fear triples up as the journey is about to end.

She doesn’t even know what to expect next.
Maybe this his friend is a lion, a bush cat, a dragon with a tongue of fire to consume her, a forest lizard or worst animal that she was afraid to mention.

Onrah interrupted her thought with his scary voice as he speaks to his remaining friend.
“My dear great friend, your home calls out to you. Welcome home! You journeyed with me to the other world and acted as a true friend all through the time. I will come and thank you in a greater way. When the fat is melted I will send in your share. I know you have desired and taste for the fresh blood which is uncommon and you haven’t had for decades but worry not for your share won’t pass you by. I bid you farewell my dear friend
 The swamp yawn for your return and may it’s soil protect you from the eyes of the passing prey which may become food for your stomach. Farewell my friend!
Olamma swallowed hard. She knows the next thing is the man’s transition to some animal. Her body shakes in fear.
Sweat broke out of her cold skin, she wish she can shut her eyes from whatever that was coming but she was more afraid of the dark.
And just then, Onrah did not clap this time, he just took a bow and his friend did the same.
His friend turned and looked towards her direction, he stick out his tongue first and it was like that of a snake.

Olamma held her mouth in fear as the first scream gave way.
