     Lucy ran as fast as her legs could carry her through the forest and bushes alike until she couldn't run anymore. She looked back at her pursuers but couldn't see any sign of anybody getting near. She was almost getting to the main road, but the weight and labour pains of the baby she was carrying was unbearable. She had to give birth right away.
Her husband Daniel had been murdered a few minutes ago infront of her eyes by his greedy brothers after a brawl broke out over the share of inheritance left by their father who had passed away recently when they came to confront him about it. They were not happy he got a bigger portion than them.

     Isabelle was going home after a long day in town where she owned salon and a cafe when she saw somebody lying a few feet from the road. As she got near, she was shocked to see a naked baby in her mother's arms crying hard. She slowed and eventually stopped her BMW 323 Ci almost with a skid. She came out of the car and went to the woman lying down. She almost fainted when she saw Lucy, her husband young brother's wife.
“Oh my God, Lucy! Why aren't you at the hospital?”
She ignored her question. “Oh, it's a girl, I've always longed for a baby girl. Daniel would have been very happy,” Lucy smiled at her baby.
Isabelle, quickly unbuttoned her cotton shirt and wrapped the baby with it. She cut the umbilical cord with her hands and tied a knot and started rocking her in her arms to calm her down.
“Oh God, Daniel is gone and I'm going to join him,” she told her.
“What, what do you mean he is gone, where to?” Isabelle exclaimed aloud.
“He was killed by his own brothers over inheritance. Daniel had been given most of it and his brothers were angry with him. He agreed to give them half of what he had but they did not agree with him, they wanted more. That's why they got into a scuffle and killed him. I was able to escape for the sake of the baby....ouch.”
“What's wrong Lucy?” Isabelle asked worriedly as Lucy struggled to speak. “My...time... is up.”
“No, Lucy, please let me take you to the hospital,” Isabelle begged as tears streamed down her face.
“Isabelle, ple...ase t..t..ta..ke ca..re of m..m..my ba..by.”
“I will Lucy, I will, I promise.
Lucy died after talking. With tears still pouring down her face, Isabelle took the crying baby to the hospital.

     Linda grew up to be a wonderful girl. She was loved so much by her parents, especially Isabelle who was always concerned whenever something happened to her. When she was around in her mid teen, something strange happened to her. As she was sleeping, her room was filled with bright light from the moon. In her sleep she saw a vision of two people looking down on her. They smiled at her and told her justice was going to be served. She didn't understand what they meant. She tried to wake up but couldn't, she was like a sedated patient, she wasn't even able to lif her finger. She woke up with a strong energy empowerment. She tried to understand what was the dream about but couldn't come up with anything in particular. She even went to her mum and told her about it, but even her couldn't offer any possible explanation.

     On her twentieth birthday, Linda was rewarded a brand new Jaguar convertable by her father, Adam, in connection with her graduation from high school. Linda was grateful as it was the biggest gift she had ever received from them. She didn't waste time, she took her best friend Pamela and went out to party. They drove back to Pamela’s around midnight.
“The music was great, I've not danced like that for a long time,” Pamela told her as they waited for the gate to be opened.
“I had so much fun, am exhausted, I think I'll have an early night,” Linda added up.
“An early night, are you for real, it's already mid night. I wonder what's taking so long to open the gate,” Pamela stretched her arm and honked the horn hard.
   
   Then suddenly, out of nowhere, comes two guys opened the doors and yanked them out. They threw them on the ground and tore their clothes. Pamela struggled but her strength was no match to the guy pinning her down, her cries couldn't help either as she soon was slapped several times thus ending her echo cries. Meanwhile, Linda was in her own struggle trying to prevent the guy overpowering from going further in doing what she was sure he was about to do, when the moon light shone on her, giving her sudden strange feeling of strength. She grabbed the guy ontop of her with such strength and throws him down and beat him so hard that he collapsed unconsciously. She then went to the man ontop of Pamela, grabbed him and gave him a beating and then helped her friend up and back to the car.
“Oh goodness Linda, it was terrible. God! I can't believe what just happened,” Pamela told her.
“Let's just go home,” Linda closed the door jus as the gate was opened.
Pamela lowered her window as the car entered in the compound. “What took you so long to open the gate?” Pamela shouted at the guard. Linda doesn't stop to wait for an answer and drives in. Mrs. Johnson, Pamela’s mum opened the door for them and she was shocked at what she saw.
“What on earth happened to you two?” She asked in shock. “Eddie, Eddie, come here quick, the girls are back.”
“Mom, am so glad to see you, it was a nightmare,” Pamela ran into her mother's arms.
Mr. Johnson responded his wife's call and came out quickly. After ushering them inside, he requested an explanation to the ordeal. Since Pamela was still sobbing in her mother's arms, Linda took the initiative to tell the ordeal.
“So, they didn't rape you, did they?” Mr. Johnson asked after Linda finished.
“No, they didn't,” Linda answered calm.
“Did they escape?” Mr. Johnson inquired further.
“I think so, but one was unconscious, maybe he is dead,” Pamela finally managed to talk.
“What? No Pam, you saw wrong. You were in shock, he was okay,” she took Pamela’s arm and yanked her up. “Excuse us, we need to take a bath.”
“Should we call the police and report the incident to them?” Mr. Johnson asked her concerningly.
“No need for that. You know how the police are, long hours of questioning. What matters is we are both safe. We better go and have a bath,” Linda ushers Pamela upstairs.
“Am going to call your parents Linda if that's okay with you,” Mrs. Johnson shouted after her her.
“Don't bother, I think mom would want to hear from me.”
They entered Pamela’s room, changed and went to the bathroom. When they were done, Linda called her mother and told her what happened. Isabelle was so shocked that she decided to go and pick up Linda. Pamela's parents spoke to her when she got there before she could pick Linda and leave.
“Mr. Johnson, could I leave my car here, I'll come get it tomorrow?”
“Sure, there's no problem,” Mr. Johnson agreed without any hesitation.
“I'll bring it to you myself,” added Pamela eagerly.
So Linda gave her friend the keys and she left with her mom.
