Chapter 10

An imprint on Ayisha

“Where did you go when we were all bathing?” Claire called out Jada in the midst of the group. It’s
night and the ladies were gathered around fire outside the remains of the jet, their safehouse. “I went to
take a shit. Or is a girl no longer entitled to her own privacy?” Jada retorted with no iota of respect.

“Oh, she’s talking back at me.” Claire stood up tall now. She was ready to give them an interesting
show. You could tell by the manner at which she squinted her eyes.

“If for real you went to take a shit. Why then did you return covered in a smell of rotten eat and oil from
meat.”

All eyes were now on Jada at Claire’s accusation. But Jada wasn’t ready to give herself up.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Claire raised her voice this time, “Don’t tell me you you’re fucking with that loser just because of meat!”
“Wait!! Did I just hear someone say JUST BECAUSE OF MEAT?”

Jada stood up tall now. She obviously wasn’t having it. She was standing opposite Claire, across the
circular gathering. Claire was stunned at Jada’s reaction. She was processing what guts Jada had to
shout back at her. Jada continued.

“What has staying with you got us? How far have we come? We can’t even eat meat. I’m surprised that
I haven’t shit coconut!!! And you said Just?”

She scoffed, taking two steps forward into the middle of the group, “We sleep like cows in a pen, rolling
on each other through the night. Even pigs don’t sleep like that. We can’t have a decent night without a
fight or fright. The cold is unbearable. Lighting this fire was like being kissed by a god! Lying around
and — should I keep making a list. And the almighty leader said what, Just?”



Claire charged at Jada,

“You fucking bitch.”

She was ready to have a fight but the rest divided themselves into groups to stop the two, because
Jada herself wasn’t going to cower. She saw shy not dumb! “Can we all come to our senses please!!!”

Tendzel yelled at once and everyone took a pause. An automatic one! “We are in the middle of the
night in the middle of nowhere and what are we doing? Fighting?

Appeton Ay.cha

What if some wild animal hear our noise and come for us, then what?” Everyone of them pondered on
Tendzel’s words, calming down. “One thing that should be clear is that we have no leader. No one is
leading anyone. We are just poor spoilt brats who ended up on an uninhibited island. Shouldn’t we
think of a way to survive instead of bicker unnecessarily?!!!”

“May I speak.”

The calmest of them, Mira raised her hand as though they were in some classroom. She was quite an
opposite of her twin sister, Laurette. Though the latter claimed to be calm and quiet too, but it was
usually a charade. A charade the media taught her.

“Okay, I guess that’s a yes.”

She stepped forward, looking from one girl to the other. None of them said anything in precise to her.

“Though we all hate to admit it, but this situation is obviously out of our hand. All we need is a capable
hand, and so far, none of us have proven to be capable except the one we call a loser, Damien.” “What
are you trying to say then? That we should depend on a man to survive? Where is your feminist spirit?
Aren’t you a–”





“My sister isn’t done.”

Laurette had cut Claire short. Lisa was the one who got quite mad. Jada continued. “While we wait for
a rescue team, let’s not act based on ego. Let’s go meet with him and ask how we can help and grow
together. In the face of adversity, great people make deals with their sworn enemies.” Majority of the
ladies seemed to agree with her. Seeing that she was outnumbered, Claire spoke up.

“You speak sense. I didn’t know that this was what you wanted to say, if I did, I wouldn’t had –

She refused to complete the words. Instead she chose a new clause, “We will go to him tomorrow, but
if he bosses us around, I won’t let it go. And if anything goes wrong, be ready to take responsibility for
it.” “Do you want it to go wrong, why can’t you be positive?” Jada challenged Claire. Claire lost it again.

“Do you want me to slap you to death?”

But the howling of a wolf in the distance sent all the girls running into the jet at once. The night was
quite short for Damien and Ayisha. Twas now morning and Damien was the first to wake. He woke her
up.

“Come, I know a waterfall nearby. After you finish washing we can have the remains of the deer. At
night, I promise you a special treat.”

.



She forced a smile. He had no idea what that was for. But she seemed like a different person. He led
her through the woods towards the waterfall. Fortunately there was nothing to be careful of. They got
there.

“You go ahead, I’ll wait here.” He didn’t want to follow her. Even he couldn’t explain why he was doing
that. He had seen her naked before, but he felt like he needed to give her a privacy. Common sense,
right? “Don’t you want to bathe?” She asked. He nodded,

“I will when you are done.”

She smiled and walked into the water. She turned to him, he had his back to her. “Come on, don’t be a
shy baby. Join me. Or are you scared that we would end up having sex.”

He turned to her. “Don’t be ridiculous. Do you think I don’t have self-control?”

“Then join me. Let’s see how far the self-control can get you.” He pulled his pant down and went to join
her. They started bathing separately. When their eyes occasionally make contact they’d laugh. Soon
enough, she started splashing water at him. “Really?”

She didn’t stop. He joined in and began to splash on him. One thing led to the other and they were
struggling with each other, playing the first person to push the other in the water. His hand mistakenly
slid off her shoulder and touched her tit. He had a boner. Her eyes fell on the boner and couldn’t ignore
it. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to.”

He apologized. She slid her hand off his shoulder intentionally and fisted his boner in her hand, letting
go as soon as possible. “Oops! Sorry, I didn’t mean to.” “You silly.” He wanted to continue the play, but
she wasn’t playing anymore. When he touched her tits and began to began to fondle them, she
slapped him. “Ayisha?”

His eyes widened.



“Go away from me. Don’t touch me.” She started crying and ran out of the water.
