Maya’s POV
I was on my own surviving in the wild environment I found myself in conveniently. The men that had come to kidnap me had their bones rotting on stakes where I hung them.
Maybe being starved contributed to how I felt mentally, there wasn’t any iota of pity for them in me and even when I spent my time skinning them alive, their cries held no emotion in my head.
Venom had not reached me, I gave up on expecting him. I didn’t even know where I was all along and I couldn’t even rescue myself.
Time from time, I would sob quietly, wondering why life was so hateful and painful towards me, other times, I was invigorated and felt like I could take on the world.
This was one of those times when I felt like I could do everything all by myself and as I paced around in the woods, picking one thing or the other, I waa getting myself prepared.
I managed to make a large umbrella out of palm fronds and I still had a couple of coconuts I could survive on incase of anything.
I lifted as much as I could carry on my limb and I began to move away from the beach and forest, Imade up my mind that I would just walk until I find somewhere I could rest.
Few hours later or maybe it was long minutes, I wasn’t sure, I found a small village after walking long miles. I could only see huts on the land,, there didn’t seem to be any living creatures around there.
I climbed a large boulder that led as an opening into the place and I jumped right into the compound.
“Hello, hello!” I shouted to check if anyone would come out, but no one did.
“Is anyone in there?” I called out again, still, no one acknowledged me. Seeing the place was empty, I went into each huts check-in if I would find anything edible I could consume.
Inside the huts, there were molden pots and plates, the people were probably old fashioned from what I deduced. I opened everything but they were empty, until I found a gourd that had some water in it, many like that.
I happily gulped down to my satisfaction, I had not gotten any clean water in days and if I wasn’t a supernatural, my body would have disrupted from the amount of saltwater I was consuming and coconut water too.
Finishing all the water in the hut I was in, I fell to the ground and slept off. My body was weak already from plenty days of work.
By the time I woke up, I was surrounded by people with different paintings on their faces. They looked bizarre and they were barely covered from head to toe, they had battle stances.
I quickly stood up and raised my hand in the hair to protest that I wasn’t trying to fight. Their spears were aimed at me and they communicated with hums. Well, that was what it seemed like.
I stood up and went outside, constantly looking over my shoulder if they wouldn’t attack me. I packed up the things I came with and began to move in the direction I came earlier, they didn’t make any move or say a word and it was later I came back to my senses to ask them for help.
“Please, do you know how I can reach wolves territory? Any wolves at all?” I asked them.
They still hummed violently and it was threatening already.
“Please, I’d really appreciate you people’s help. I’ve lost my way and I need to get back to the normal people lands.” I described to them with hand gestures.
They stills Disney budge and their spears were still aimed at me. I gave up on things get them to understand me and packed my things to leave the environment.
I got out onto the beach side and the journey started again for me, I reconsidered and stayed on the floor to rest. There wasn’t anymore I wanted to do.
Suddenly, I heard sound of airplanes surrounding me or maybe they were just extraordinarily loud.
The sound was getting closer and closer and when I looked up, I saw the planes coming down to my exact location. “Is that Venom?” I asked myself.
I went to hiding so if they were out to get me, they wouldn’t see me at once. The boulder was the best place to to stay while they alighted. For a few minutes, they continued with alighting and landing the small planes. I watched from afar and everything eventually came to a halt.
Men dressed in different high protection clothes with weapon came out and they began to raid the place.
“Whatever you do, find the wolf!” Their leader shouted.
I was scared for my life and ran back to the small village I had escaped. I wasn’t sure if they would allow me in or attack me, but that was my last option. I ran in there and began to call for help. ” Help! Help! ” I screamed at the different huts, but no one answered me.
They came out one by one and it was as if when they saw I was the one, they instantly lost interest and couldn’t care less.
Soon, gunshots were heard and everyone became panicky too. They move out to go check what was going on, but something in my initiative told me they wouldn’t be returning back alive.
There was a nearby bush and I began to run into it and I went as fast as I could with all the energy in me. Every second, I would constantly look over my shoulder, it seemed like I was losing them and I tried to run a little more until my body gave up and I couldn’t go any further.
My breaths were heavy and I was on the floor. The water I drank earlier felt like it dried up already.
