Ace's pov
I used to work for a popular arms dealer named Greg,I deliver almost Four trucks loaded with weapons to appointed places per week.
I get paid a fair amount and was married to a very beautiful woman, I had a son.
Greg received a call from a minister one day demanding for a truck of Ammunitions,Greg quickly told me to go pick up a truck and load it up.
"why can't do this important task" Nick who was also a worker there objected. my boss reminded him that I was a fast and better driver compared to his slow way of driving. He was annoyed, I could see it in his face but he dared not utter a single statement for the fear of losing his job.
I quickly went to the truck and started driving off to the destination,I was driving when I received a call from my best friend Andrew "He also works for Greg" he told me not to take the truck to the appointed place!
I was baffled,"The weapons are to be used to attack innocent protesters over the rape and killing of a minor" Andrew said,I was shocked and scared at same time.
I didn't know what to do. I stopped to think and later concluded not to deliver the truck. I quickly parked the truck under a near by bridge then took a cab home.
I went in shivering and my wife quickly noticed something was wrong,I explained everything to my wife and told her to quickly pack our stuff that we were boarding a bus to her mum's place.
We were still packing our stuffs when two hefty men barged in,one grabbed me by the neck and gave me a hard punch on the chin causing me to fall. The punch was so heavy and I was subconscious.
I later regained consciousness and I was at work surrounded by my boss and my co workers,I tried to get up but realised I was tied. My wife and son were beside my boss.
"you think you can mess with me and go Scot free huh"? Greg asked and was holding a pistol,I panicked and pleaded solemnly "Am sorry I was confused and didn't know what to do" I said in somber.
"oh, you were confused" he asked. "yeah, I think things are getting complicated this days and I am also confused too " he said and ruthlessly shot my wife in the head.
She fell to the ground and blood oozed from her head. "Noooo!" I cried out.
"Take his son and drown him in and make sure nobody sees you" Greg said to one of his bodyguard, my son was dragged away as I screamed and begged for his life, That was the last time i saw my son.
"I am finding it hard to believe i dont wanna kill you yet, guess I'll keep it for later, take him away You know where he should be Right " Greg said to Nick and Davis. my colleague
"And if I see you near this city I will drive a hot rod in your ass and have you tied to a tree, you'll get whipped before finally killing you kill Greg said and walked out.
"I was bound and also blind folded then placed in the back of a truck.
The vehicle drove for about 4 hours then suddenly stopped, my blind fold was removed and I was united then led up a hill to a spot where there was an old looking house.
I was told to go in,I went in and found the place looking dirty and dusty. There was a dirty looking bed and i sat on it then laid on my back.
I was laying and thinking of my wife,I wept silently and sweard to get my revenge,I soon slept off.
I slept and dreamt of my wife, I saw her wearing a white dress stained with blood. I tried getting close to her but she kept on running away from me yelling at me to go back, I was still dreaming when i felt a hand touch me slightly.
I opened my eyes slowly and saw it was Nick, I stared at him, stood up and went outside and stretched a bit,it was already getting late, I was feeling a little bit better, but still feels very heart broken inside. His colleague Davis was standing near a tree there.
"we have brought the rest of your clothes and stuffs for you,Greg says if he sees you near the city again he will ki...."
I know that already I said as I cut Davis off angrily,I took my stuffs and went in I started arranging my stuffs when my stomach suddenly grumbled, "well I don't really care if I starve to death now", "My son and wife mudered in one day and my stomach is grumbling?!!".I thought to my self.
Nick suddenly came in interrupting what I was doing,I felt like jumping on him and choking him to death. "Not yet" I thought. He looked at me with an evil smile on his face an said "we'll be back, we are gonna get you something to eat" he said and walked out.
"something to eat?!!, I don't want anything from you!!" I yelled at him almost with a teary face.
I came out watched them as they walked down the hill, "I will kill you one day" I said silently as I heard their car drove off. His friend, Davis was different. We barely had grudes but that doesn't spare him "i will kill every last single soul working for Greg". I thought as I walked back in.
I went back in, locked the door and looked around,I sat on the floor and started thinking of my wife again I wept bitterly cursing Greg for what he did. "he will pay with his life". I said to myself.
I laid there for about twenty minutes thinking. I laid there and slept of.
I was woken up by a large bang on the door I sat up and stared at the door furiously. "Hey open up we've brought you something to eat. A voice said,it was Nick.
I didn't answer I just sat and rested my back on the wall. "we are gonna live it here,you should eat if you don't want to die" he said and laughed, I heard his footsteps as he walked away from the door.
"Who cares if I die? I have nothing to lose" "i have lost everything I have so I have no reason to live anymore" I thought and wept silently. I laid on the floor till I slept off.
I woke up the second day and was feeling very weak. i stood up and sat on the bed.
"is this how my life is going to end,will I even get my revenge " I thought.
"i have to survive for my wife's sake, I am not going to starve my self to death without getting my revenge" "I must eat something else Greg us just gonna get away with what he did" I said trying to cheer my self up.
I stood up and went outside, I saw the food Nick dropped,I kicked it away angrily. "am not gonna eat anything he brings", "Am gonna get my self something to eat " I said as I started making my way down the hill.
I got to the muddy road and I made my way into the trees, I started going deep,I walked for about five minutes but all I could see was trees and flowers.
I was walking until I heard footsteps.. I paused
"what in the world could that be" I thought, I turned back and there was a wolve standing there staring and growling at me.
I was scared,I was practically shivering, "There is no way am gonna die this way" I thought and started taking steps back but it was also moving closer,I suddenly turned and started running, I looked back and he was chasing me too.
I ran as fast as I could until I triped and fell down, The wolve started moving slowly towards me growling, I closed my eyes and was waiting for what ever was going to happen.
I suddenly heard a gunshot, I opened my eyes and Nick and Davis were standing both holding pistols. I looked at the Wolfe and it was shot in the leg.
"Follow me or you can just stay here and wait for more wolfs to join you here" Nick said and started walking, I followed him till we got out of the trees to the muddy road .
I went up the hill and met a big shopping bag outside the old house, looks like they've went shopping.
"Greg gave us some money to get you some food stuffs,This should be enough for some couple of weeks we'll come back and give you more later", Nick said.
"And by the way if you need anything, a farmer lives nearby,we are gonna pay him some money to give you anything you want in case you need something. His name is Mr Derek.
He turned to leave, I stoped " I need to take my bath where am I supposed to do that?". I asked. "follow me" he said and turned.
I followed Nick and we went down the hill,Davis was also following us, we walked till we reach a lake.
"Do you remember the route" Nick asked and I nodded ,we then went back to where there truck was packed and they both drove off.
It was getting late, I went back to the house and went in and arranged the food stuffs he brought,stored some beefs in a friedge which though wasn't working, The house has many stuffs,looks like an hideout. A bed fridge,two chairs and many kitchen utensils.
It was already dark when I finished, I laid down, I was not feeling so hungry anymore.
"I think I'll postpone the eaten to tomorrow " I said and laid in the bed.
I thought about my wife and son, how we used to spend times together. I still couldn't believe I would loose her so easily, "Well she is not just gonna did just like that " everyone will pay.
I laid until I slept off.
It was a bright and beautiful morning, The hill was very silent,the sound of a needle dropped could even be heard.

I woke up feeling completely well today,haven't felt better in two days. I got up from bed and walked out of the house.
The sun was setting already, "I better get something to eat cause I feel am gonna collapse in any second " I thought .
I went back in and ate a sealed salad and drank some water. I was ready for the day!.
I thought of taking my bath in the lake Nick showed me. I haven't brushed and bath for 2 days and I surely smell like trash. I went out closed the door and started making my way down the hill.
I came down the hill and started going down the muddy road,I was walking when I heard the sound of a car, I looked back and saw a old looking van.
The driver stopped and came down,it was and old looking man, perhaps it was Mr Derek.
"Hi am Mr Derek " The man said and stretched his hand for a handshake. I shook his hand . "Am Ace" I replied. "Nice to meet you Mr Ace" He said.
"Nick said you'll be here for sometime and has paid me to supply you what you need" He said. "If I may ask,what are you doing here all alone" he asked.
" its personal" I replied ."ok" He said and got back in his van ." if you need me just walk down this muddy road until you see a house the first house you see his mine , it's not that far from here" He said and drove off.
I looked at his car as he drove off,"he seems nice" I said to my self as I continued going to the lake.
I followed the route Nick and I passed through the other night and soon got to the lake. I took of my clothe and gently entered the water.
"Holy shit" I exclaimed as I realised the water was very cold. I just stood in a spot and was rubbing my body and splashing some water on it.
I was still bathing when I heard a scream.
I was confused,"Do people live around here too" "Is someone in trouble" i was still asking my self numerous questions I couldn't even answer when I heard the scream again.
sounded like a feminine voice,I quickly came out and wore my clothes then started making my way back to the old house.
The sound was coming from the direction...
Jane pov
I was the daughter of famous Mr Harrison who was a politician and business man,I just turned 20.
I lived a wayward life,many people call me arrogant but I ignored them cause I know deep down me I an just a gentle and god fearing young lady. just didn't like to accociate with poor fellas!.
So it was my best friend's birthday. She had celebrated her recent birthdays in different ways cause her dad was very rich.
This time she decided to go far away and celebrate it with me and our other two friends Claire and John,who was her boyfriend. we took some alcoholic drinks and some foods.
we decided to drive into an hill not too far from the city,we have planned to spend some lonely time and enjoy ourselves. This was my first time going somewhere without my two bodyguards, we were driving happily on our way their until our car broke down.
I was shocked cause it was a new car, its not even a month old yet. we all alighted from the vehicle looking baffled.
We were trying to figure out what's wrong but didn't know anything about it, because we were all rich kids and knew nothing about fixing a car.
We would have called for help,if only my friend Natasha didn't tell us not to bring our phones with us, we thought it was a good idea.
we decided to walk around a bit if we would find help or a way to call for help.
we set out and started walking. After walking for about 20minutes we were tired,and decided to stop and rest. we started blaming Natasha for the mess she got us into.
"If you hadn't brought us here we wouldn't be stuck here" Claire fired at Natasha. "well I didn't force you fool" Natasha fired back. John and I were just staring at them.
"Guys why don't we just take a break and think of a way to get out of this ..."i was talking when John suddenly cut me off.
" jane!! do not move" John said, "what's it" I asked feeling a little bit scared "is he playing a prank on me" I thought.
I don't think so cause I could see fear in the eyes of the girls. I slowly turned around and there was a angry looking wolfe right in front of me.
I slowly turned back and my friends started backing off slowly. I suddenly took off and was running screaming "HELP !!" we all took off running into different directions.
luckily for me, The wolfe went after John but I was still scared. "What if there was another wolve around here" I thought and started running.
I saw a hill and started climbing. "maybe there is something on the other side" I thought.
I increased my pace as I climbed the hill faster. I was running and yelling for help. I could see a house ,but couldn't see it clearly cause there were trees surrounding it. I started making my way down when I hit my leg on a large stone.
I tripped and fell and started rolling down the hill. I rolled and rolled until I hit my head on something. I couldn't feel anything cause I hit my head too hard on a log of wood.
I tried getting up but was finding it hard to do so. I looked around and saw I was already close to the house but couldn't see it clearly cause I was half conscious . I started crawling closer to the house and was using all the strength left in me to mumble "Help" "somebody help".
I was weary and couldn't crawl anymore,I just laid on a spot with my eyes half closed, I suddenly felt a hand touch and pick me up.
It looked like a man,I was just staring and was trying to figure out who it was. "John is it you"? I asked but didn't get a reply.
I was carried into a house and laid on a bed,I instantly slept.

I have tried to figure out where the sound was coming from but couldn't get exactly where . i walked around shouting "anybody there?!!". i couldn't hear the scream any more, But I was very sure someone was in danger.
i decided to go back home and change my outfit. I was walking back home when I saw a car. I opened the door and checked it. all I could find was some weed and alcohol and some snacks, I neither liked drinking nor smoking so I left them. I found the picture of a beautiful girl. I took it and kept it in my pocket.
I continued moving back to my house. I was getting closer to my house when I saw something lying on the floor close to the house, it looked like a human but i wasn't sure yet.
I increased my pace and went up to it. It was a human, A young woman. "who is she and how did she get here" i thought staring at her. she was trying to say something but I couldn't hear her.
I picked her up and took her inside,I laid her on my bed and she fell asleep. I checked her and it seems she had hit her head on something cause it was swollen and she was also bleeding.
I stared at her and realised she was the girl in the pics I picked up from the car earlier.
"what am I supposed to do now?" I asked myself." maybe I should go over to Mr Derek's place he should have something useful.
I took one more look at her and then went out, closed the door and started heading to Mr Derek's place.
i came across the car again. "This is definitely her car" I thought as I stared at the magnificent beauty. it was a Mercedes Benz G class. "How could she afford this?" I thought.
"she is definitely from a rich family or gets paid well where she works "i said to myself. "I better go get her something to relieve her pain as soon as possible" I thought and continued heading to Mr Derek place.
This is my first time going there and i really hoped its not far from here.I followed Mr Derek instructions by just following the muddy road.
I walked for about five minutes but all I could see was trees and an endless road,I was tired but still continued anyways.
I walked for three minutes more and saw a house surrounded by wooden fence. I opened the small wooden gate and went in, I went to the house entrance and knocked.
"Mr Derek " i said and knocked on the door. "anyone here" I asked as I continued knocking.
The door opened and a young boy came out, "is Mr Derek in" I asked and he turned back and yelled "grandpa someone is here to see you!!".
"Wait here", The boy said and slammed the door. Mr Derek soon came out. "Nice to see you Mr Ace how can I be of help?", he asked and stretched his hand out for a handshake.
we shook hands and he sat on a steel chair. "Do you have any drugs I could use, I feel weak and weary" I lied.
"sure I have some drugs you could use " he said and went back in. He came out and handed me some drugs.
I turned to leave but he called me back, " Mr Ace are you sure that's all you need?" he asked and I nodded yes.
"But I could use some ice if only you had some" I said, "well luckily we do have some" he said and went back in,he came out and handed me some ice in a white bag.
I took them and quickly made my way back to my place .
I got home and I entered and went up to her,I placed the ice bag on her head and she opened her eyes a little bit, she looked beautiful just lying there I was holding the ice to her swollen head.
She opened her eyes and stared at me weirdly. I stopped what I was doing and sat back.
she sat up slowly. "are you ok" i asked and she just stared at me. "you need to take some pills" I said and handed her some drugs and water. she took the pills and took them drinking some water.
"who are you ?" "why are you here ?" "are you here alone?" I asked her many questions at once but didn't get any reply.
"sorry my bad, you should relax a bit" I said and stood up to go out. "Thanks", she said with a low voice. I looked at her as she lay back and closed her eyes to get some sleep.
I went out of the house and started going back to her car I went in and tried to start it but it didn't work, I think its the battery.
I came out of the car and opened the bonnet. I checked the batteries and one of the wire was disconnected. I connected it back and just like that the car started and I drove it and parked it somewhere safer.
I have spent up to twenty minutes outside and I think she should have rest enough by then.
I went back in and found her sitting on the bed staring at the house. "who are you and why are you here?" I asked.
"Am hungry can you please get my snacks for me in my car?" she said ignoring my questions.
"Sure" I said and went back to her car and got her the snacks, she ate them slowly and was staring at me.
"Have you seen my friends" she asked. "friends?" "so you are not here alone" i asked. "yes,am here with three of my friends. we were chased by a wolf when we scampered into different directions.
"I ran until I tripped and fell and was unconscious, I have to find my friends and get out if this place as soon as possible" she said and continued eating.
"who is this girl" I thought in my mind.
