Act Of Faith - Season 3 - Episode 2

About thirty minutes later, Karma and
Christiana could be seen walking on a
lonely path, the path that led to the jungle.
There were actually two paths that led to
the jungle, one of the path also led to the
stream, the other path led to just the
jungle, that was the path Christiana and
Karma were on. “Are you sure you will be
able to hunt with a knife?” Karma asked
her for the fifth time, he had been
surprised when Christiana refused the
offer of a gun insisting that she will hunt
with a small knife. “Don’t be scared, I am
good with the knife” Christiana smiled as
they walked along, “This path is too long,
we will take the path that leads to the
stream on our way back” Christiana added
while Karma nodded, he didn’t want to
argue again, he actually hates the stream
path. “So tell me Karma, how did you save
me?” Christiana asked and Karma smiled
as he remembered that morning he saw
Christiana’s body in the river. “As usual,
that fateful morning, I went fishing and
was on my canoe in the middle of the river
when I saw something floating. I knew
immediately that it was a living being and
thus wasted no time in jumping into the
river to get you, it was from there that I
brought you home when I noticed you were
still alive” Karma said. “You look so much
like your twin brother” Christiana said,
“The one you call Gabriel?” Karma asked,
“Yes, Gabriel, he is just like you, brave,
strong and funny but I betrayed them”
Christiana said with a sorrowful voice,
“Tell me about them” Karma said, “Who?”
Christiana asked staring at him, “Them, the
ones you betrayed” Karma added.
LOCATION: Lagos city, Nigeria.
TIME: 11am, Saturday Morning.
“Faster!!!!” Adanna shouted as she tapped
her husband who was on the steering,
“This is the fastest I can go!!” He shouted
back as he turned the steering. “OH God,
don’t tell me we are going to be the last
again” she said hitting her forehead, “Hey
baby, it is just a game” Gabriel laughed as
he finally parked his racing car, the race is
over. “Alvana and Morgana are the first
this time” Adanna hissed as she made to
open the door. “Don’t worry, we will win in
future” Gabriel smiled and pecked her, he
them alighted from the car. That was how
they would always race every last weekend
of the month, each car containing a
couple. Gabriel and Adanna, Morgana and
Alvana, Matt and Gwen and Darlington with
Tonia. They would always come to the
local stadium to race themselves and ever
since they started, Gabriel had never had a
win, the highest he had come so far was
the third position and that was because
Matt’s car broke down on the road.
The had also been free lately as they
haven’t gotten any call from Newriton.
Gabriel now owned a big chemist, a world
class one while Alvana continued with his
poultry business. Matt opened a karate
school for young kids just like Israel did
before he died, Darlington on his side
started a farm business from the money he
got from Newriton and from the help of
Tonia, and they were all living good.
“Gabriel, you have come last again, this is
the fourth time in five months” Alvana
mocked as Gabriel walked towards him,
“You know am not good with cars, just
give me a bike let me show you the demon
in me” Gabriel said patting Alvana. “If I
remember vividly, you said you will show
us the demon in you before this race
started” Morgana laughed. “That is just the
version 1 demon, am sure my baby will
bring out the beast in him on the next
race” Adanna defended. “Have heard that 3
times but he would still always come last”
Alvana said. “Nice race guys” Darlington
said as he walked towards them, he was
holding Tonia by his side. “Why don’t we
go get something to drink?” Matt asked,
“Good idea, who is ready for a drink?
Payments is on me” Gabriel said and they
all rose up their hands, “Good, let’s go
drink my favorite, Water” he shouted, “I
Saw that coming” Morgana hissed while
the rest laughed.

“So, two times I betrayed them” Christiana
cried as she narrated all to Karma, they
were still on their way to the jungle. “We
all make mistakes, I know you now feel
sorry, I believe one day, you guys will re
unite” Karma patted her, “Just like Gabriel,
you are encouraging, you twin brother
talks and behave just like you” Christiana
told him, “This is the fifth time you will be
saying that” Karma laughed and there was
silence as she stared at Karma and Karma,
also looking directly at her eyes. She
suddenly pulled Karma to herself and
dragged him behind a tree, “What is it?”
He asked in shock, “Shhhhh!!” she
signaled to him to keep quiet, “I heard
something” She said as they both peeped
to see what it was. From the bushes, a tall
man walked out, he was stalk naked and
he had blood dripping from his mouth,
“Holy s–t, what the hell is that?” She
asked Karma, Karma turned to her with
fear in his eyes, he was terrified. “The
cannibals are back” He said with a cracked
voice while Christiana stared at him,
suddenly, they began to hear footsteps
approaching, Christiana peeped again and
the cannibal was coming towards them.
