The evening was calm and serene and the sky was bright and beautiful. It was 1 am and I was from my night shift. I am a waitress at the visitor's cave.
It was a nice place for strangers to come rest after a long journey. Visitors from around the neighborhood come there from time to time to have a good time at our bar.
I was a devoted young lady especially to my job, though that wasn't the kind of job I had expected for myself.
The street was dark and cold, and that was my normal routine every day. I went home at those hours every day.
Sometimes I will be accompanied by colleagues, other times it was just me alone at night.
I walked through the streets of Rougeburg with my earplugs as I listened to my favorite music. I could see my path with the help of the stars in the sky.
Their clarity wasn't that bright but it helped so much. That part of the street was quiet as many shopkeepers don't operate at night.
The road was empty and no cars were passing through and the only sound I could hear was the noise from my sandals as I walked through the dark.
I am Evelyn Bullock and I am a beautiful lady with long dark brown hair and glowing softly radiant skin. I am an enticing young lady hence it was difficult for any man to resist my beauty.
I have a long face, with a fine Russian nose guarded with fine round pair of jaws, bringing in my sea-nymph ears as they appear under my hair.
My eyes are sea blue with velvety eyelashes that are so beautiful, with thick upper lips on thin lower lips. I have long hands and a slim pair of legs and straight toes.
I had a flourish short dress that went down my things giving a finer view for my sexy legs to be seen.
I wasn't an easy-going girl, to begin with, but the nature of my job made me love things that aren't nice.
My life has been like this for over a year as I have to go home every night alone.
As I continued walking through the streets, I heard something fall and that frightened me.
"Who is there?*. I exclaimed.
I quickly took out my phone to put on the torchlight, when I noticed that, it was a trash bin that had fallen on the ground.
I saw a cat helping itself from the contents inside of the trash can and I sighed in laughter because I had been so scared.
I continued my journey hoping to at least see a car that might give me a ride home. The music from the nearby clubs disturbed the beating of my music as theirs was too loud.
I walked past the store of my favorite candy. I love the candy from that store as they were unique.
Just inform of it was the most recognized restaurant In the whole of Rougeburg. it is known for its hospitality as well as its delicacies.
Its owner was a beautiful lady in her early 50s, epitomized in the skin of a 20-year-old girl. I said so because, she is so young and beautiful and what makes her loved by everyone, is her philanthropic works.
Ms. Catherine is an exemplary lady with a heart of gold. She had the best meals and people from all over Rougeburg always come there to eat.
People from different cities as well-loved her meals and always came there in numbers to eat bet food.
However, the most satisfying work that she does is the decision she made to have orphans, homeless people, and the needy come and eat at her restaurant once every week free of charge.
When the announcement was enacted, many people ran to her restaurant on the said day to eat and drink as there are many homeless people around.
From that day till now, I have always been her as my role model. She is a source of inspiration to young ladies in Rougeburg including myself.
Each time I passed by her restaurant, I will always remember her good deeds. I walked some more dancing to the sound of my music as I was filled with joy.
My tips for that night were plentiful and I couldn't wait to get home so that u could count how much I had received from the bar.
I saw a couple of youngsters on the other side of the road and they seemed drunk to me.
" Hey gorgeous lady, why are you all alone at this time of the night?". He asked as he crossed the road and came towards me.
I just kept on going as though I wasn't the person he was addressing. I walked faster and at a point, I started running so as not to get into trouble with them.
As I ran as fast as I could without even concentrating on where I was stepping my legs, I stumbled on something and fell to the ground.
"Oh my goodness that hurts". I said in the dark as I struggled to get back on my feet.
I touched something like water on the ground but the smell of it was like rust. I thought it was just some fluid on the ground because there was a garage around there so I thought it must be the fluids from the oil or something.
So I took out my phone to look at the surface in order not to slide and fall again and to my greatest surprise, I saw a man lying there breathing slowly like he was about to give up the ghost.
Frightened by what I saw, I screamed and took off to my heels without looking back. I was breathing in for air like a fish that was taken of water.
" What did I just see?". I asked myself in fear.
I needed to get out of this place before those who did this to him comes back and find me here. But again, I couldn't just leave him there alone in the dark.
I was still in shock when something told me to go back and check if the man is still alive.
So I took my courage and kept my calm as I walked slowly towards him again. I pointed my torch and there he was, a man lying in the pool of his blood.
"Sir what happened to you, what's your name, and who did this to you?". I asked as I knelt by him.
He was severely beaten with bruises all over his body. His right arm was broken, his left leg was fractured as well and his face was swollen.
Even though he was badly injured, I could tell that he wanted to say something to me. I took out my handkerchief and wiped off the blood that was in his face and there lied a handsome young man under his blood-stained face.
He was tall and slim with a nicely built body like that of an athlete. His hair was grey and his brows brown. He had an outstanding pair of lips with a sharp German nose that could pierce one's face.
I looked at him closer and asked
" Can you hear me, sir?". He wasn't responding to me and his pulses were getting lost.
I stood up in confusion and I didn't know what to do. I ran to the road to see if someone was coming, but the road was as empty as a desert with no signs of cars passing anytime soon.
"Was I going to leave that stranger there to die?". I asked myself with no possible answer.
" Sir you need to say something, just say anything that might help for me to locate your family". I cried out.
He tried lifting his hand as though he wanted to point sat something, then his hand dropped and he collapsed.
I was terrified as I shook him countless times with so much fear in me.
"Sir please wake up, you can't die on me please". I cried out in despair.
I tried searching his pockets to see if I could find anything tangible that could lead me to his family or friends but I found nothing.
He had no wallet on him, no cell phone not address. I searched again thinking I could find a complementary card or restaurant or hotel card on him but I found nothing.
I think those who battered this man must have taken everything on him so that, there will be no means of identifying him when he's found.
I remembered how I was rescued countless times from death and delinquents on the streets so how could I leave this man here in this kind of condition.
My God gives me strength because I don't know what to do at this point.
" I will go look for help sir don't worry you will be fine"/ I said to him.
I took out my scarf on my head and tired his broken arm while I went around looking for help.
I started walking confused in the night but there was no one. I saw some people coming my way so I stopped them.
"Please help me there's a man over there lying lifeless and he needs to be taken to the hospital". I pleaded.
" Get out of my sight your hobo, I know the likes of you". He said as he continued his way with his friends. I realized that they too were drunk.
I suddenly recalled that I could use my phone to call for an ambulance or my friends since some of them were still at the Tavern.
I hurriedly took out my phone and it was 3 am already. I had to dial Dickson's number, but I had a low battery so my phone went off.
I was mad with rage that I stood there desperate and not knowing what to do.
Rougeburg was a busy street but at such time it was usually empty.
I rushed back to check on the man and I notice that he was still alive but his pulse was too low.
"Lord please give me the vitality to save this stranger". I prayed in my heart.
I couldn't understand why I was in that position but I knew that j had to help the man by all possible means.
I looked at him and tears ran down my cheeks as I recollected how my mum was in an almost identical situation but had no one to help her.
" Mommy, I am doing this for you and all the helpless people out there in a similar situation like this". I murmured.
My courage was boosted and as I was thinking about how to transport him to a nearby hospital, I saw the flashlight of a car.
I rushed to do the road to see if what I was thinking was real and yes, there was a car coming in our direction.
I stood in the middle of the road waving my hand with hopes of the conductor stops.
As the car approached j waved the more but I realized that the conductor wasn't slowing down so I had to give way for him to pass.
"Jesus Christ he almost crushed me". I mumbled as I got up and wiped off.
I went back to the stranger and watched after him praying in my heart that he should be fine.
" What am I going to do now, I can't seem to find any guard on this street tonight.
"What could he have done to merit this kind of beating that has disfigured him this badly?". I asked myself.
I just had to wait for another car to approach us or someone to pass by and help me.
I couldn't stop but wonder how long he was going to hold on before I finally see a car. I thought of pulling him to the road but his weight wouldn't even permit me to move a part of his body.
I sat there wondering what was going to happen next without any possible clue, won't I noticed another flashlight from a car approaching and I was determined to make this one-stop.
So I went out on the road again running towards the car and screaming," please stop the car it's an emergency".
Was the car going to stop? That was something I really wish happens because the stranger had not had much time.
