SUZY'S POV

"Whyyyy, Ajoke," Zaizai sobbed.

"Cause she's dumb. Why did she go back for a ring worth 100 Naira?" Great hissed and Zaizai glared at him. Well, he kind of had a point though.

"It's all Short Daniel's fault. I even lost my mate cause of him," Minah cried.

"Exactly. He caused everything. It's because of him." Kicky agreed.

"It's not my fault. Stop blaming me," Short Daniel countered.

Suzy wanted to say something but the poor thing hadn't eaten since and she was really hungry.

"Then who should we blame?" Divine asked.

"What about me that lost my twin? Even though we fight, I still
Love her. At least, you didn't lose your sibling!" Short Daniel was almost crying.

"Leave the guy alone. Let's just keep running before the door opens again and the zombie attacks us," Tall Daniel suggested.

"I'm too hungry to move a muscle," Suzy pouted and many of them nodded.

"I blame Landmark," Irayo blamed their school and some agreed.

"This could be MR. ita's plan but let's keep running," Great said and they started to run in the Northward direction except Short Daniel who sprinted like a chicken to the Eastward side. They stared at him in disbelief.

"I found my food," Short Daniel stretched his hand and they could clearly see a tiny red triangle-shaped eraser. He ran back to where they were.

"Don't you dare eat that. It could be another trap," Suzy warned him.

"It could be made of juju," Zaizai pointed out.

Short Daniel shook his head. "This eraser is too small to have juju in it."

"Idiot, didn't you see the grapes that Jerry ate?" Irayo asked.

"Leave him alone. Let him die since he doesn't want to use his brain," Kicky hissed.

"How did you even see the eraser? Please, don't drag us into your mess?" Divine said, pulling his ears.

"Ouch!"

"Seriously though, it would be nice if we at least acquire superpowers here," Gbolex voiced out his thoughts.

"Shut the f*cK up!"

How I wish my phone was still on. I would have taken pictures of this place and finally, I would have been famous. Suzy wished as she glanced around the environment they were currently in. It wasn't dark anymore. It was very bright so they thought it was already the next day. There were lots of tall trees that looked rather suspicious but no animals could be found.

They stopped running when Short Daniel moaned in delight. "Mmm, this eraser is the sweetest thing."

"NO. STOP."

But it was too late. The worst had already happened.

"Ahhhhhh!!!!!" They screeched at the most shocking thing that had occurred here.

It so happened that Divine had slowly turned into the similar red eraser that Short Daniel just chewed.

"Divine!!!!!!!!" They wailed.

"Not again! Nooooo!!!!!!"

Short Daniel was stunned but he stared at Divine who was now an eraser as though he wanted to eat her, too.

"We should kill this little Devil?" Minah voiced and with that, they all gathered him and started beating him up.

"Argh!!! Leave me alone," he struggled and cried but they continued until a loud threatening voice stopped them.

"YOU DARE TO COME TO IBABI  WITHOUT AN INVITATION SO YOU WILL ALL TURN TO ERASERS!"

They raised their heads and gasps followed when they saw a zombie above them. The zombie had a long tail and his face resembled Dark Side. Normally, they would run but this time, they flew away.

"You can't escape what's coming! Muhahaha!!"

*********

Do you really think Short Daniel is to blame for everything? Did they do the right thing by beating him up?
