We had been tied to another stick and questioned about who sent us to spy on them. The man on the stick had been roasted completely beyond recognition. “ Who sent you to spy on us?… The government?” “ We are not spies… We lost our way…” I said “ We were kidnapped and along the way, we escaped “ Rejoice said The sight of the roasted man was a fearful one. I felt like throwing up… “ Do you know why he was roasted?” The man who seem to be their chief spoke directing his question at us… “ No….” I responded… “ He told a lie and we cannot stand lies… so for the last time, Are you spies?” “ No… we are not…” I replied… A lady with very loud make up on her face walked up to Rejoice and I. She had a bowl of water in her hand which she brought in front of us… She placed the water in front of us and made some dramatic dance… Right there before us all, our journey of escaping from Jay was revealed in the water…. “ He says the truth….” the lady said… “Thank you Jesus Christ!”I muttered and almost immediately the whole place shook. “ Shut up, we say no such name here…” the chief said in anger as he rose up from the ground he had fallen to… I was petrified… I knew their black garments had something to do with evil, but I never knew this sect was so evil to the extent of hating the name of Christ…. “ Loose them!” The chief said… “ Welcome to the family” The chief said… “ Which family?” I asked myself as I looked at the humans who looked like zombies. They all stood looking at the chief, both young and old. The only time they moved was when the earth shook… “ Please sir, we are sorry for barging into your territory, please kindly let us go, I have a group of teenagers who will be disturbed right now. Some of them have no parents and I am their guardian, please in your kindness, let me go…” “ No one comes here and leaves… Here are the rules….No sexual intercourse allowed in the household, except authorized for conception No lies, No stealing, No…,” The chief read out over 100 rules. I was surprised at the rules. If not that, the man had banned me from calling the name of Christ, I would have thought it was a Christian setting. Eventually, we were taken to a little hut. It was Meant for Rejoice and I. I wondered if Rejoice and I were meant to sleep in the same room and not have sexual intercourse, but my conscience replied me. “ Except you want to die!” “ What kind of human beings are these?” Rejoice said as she sat on the bed…”We need to run out of here as Soon as everyone is asleep” “ How?… these kind of people will have overnight watchmen…” “ I will hypnotize them the way I hypnotized you and Sammy…” Rejoice said and she obviously did not realize how much she had said until she noticed the stare I gave her…. “ I am sorry, I needed to send him far away from us, because Jay could get us through his son!” “You sent him away ? Rejoice What did you do? I asked angrily “ I hypnotized you by making you go deep into sleep, while I controlled Sammy into walking away from us.” “ Walking away from us?… Rejoice that is very wicked of you… You know what? it is technically over between us… I will find my way of escape from here without you…” I said as I walked away from her, stepping out of the room. As I got out of the room, I met two men keeping watch… “ No one is allowed to loiter around…” said one of the men… I returned to the room in fear…. I laid on the bed that had been provided in the room with tears…. “ God! Why am I going through all these, I am sorry for what has happened, I am sorry for not sending Rejoice away the moment she came back….” I must have slept off for few minutes, before I started feeling a hand carresing me. At first, I thought I was having a dream, but on opening my eyes, I saw Rejoice caressing me… “ Are you mad?” I cursed in anger “ No… I am starving… I do have sex everyday so I cannot sleep until I have a climax….” “ You are sick and you need help, you heard the rules, No sexual immorality here….” “ But why keep us in the same room?” “ There are things we see with our eyes and despite being attracted to them we must learn to look the other way to preserve our lives… I really do not know who these people are, but they also know sexual immorality is a terrible thing….” “ It is not bad to me….” Rejoice said “ Rejoice, as much as I don’t like the people here, I am shocked at how evil people sometimes know the right things to do… I don’t know what they are into, but they know spiritual secrets… They know sexual immorality leads to death….” “ How come I am not yet dead? I have had uncountable Sex in my short lifetime” Rejoice said nonchalantly ” Rejoice, if you don’t know any scripture in the Bible, you should remember the story about the forbidden fruit in the garden. It was right there in their faces, but God gave strict instructions for Adam and Eve not to eat it or else they die.. This is exactly what this looks or feels like, You are my forbidden fruit placed right in front of me, and since I don’t want to die untimely by roasting I must keep my sexual emotions under subjection..,Keep whatever you are feeling under subjection” “ I can’t Uncle Chuks…Sex controls me” “ Then are you ready to be roasted alive?” Rejoice looked at me straight in the eye with no answers to give, it was obvious she was scared. It then made me think that if God was killing people immediately after every sexual sin, most people would have learnt how to discipline themselves…. To be continued….
