Slowly, she sank, sank and sank . There was no discomfort, no force. She could breath air water, there was no whale or shark coming to eat her up, instead the fishes were friendly to her, she could not swim she did not swim. There was no need for that!  Instead she sank with shoals about until her feet landed on the dry ground.
                 All along, Pamela had been looking, marvelling at the beautiful colour of the fishes and at the wonder of not drowning. Right now she bent to look at the soil underneath her feet.
                From a distance, she heard the playing of harps, sweet singing voices and sounds of joyful laughter she wished she could laugh joyful like that.  There was no water around this time, it was as if she was on another planet.  The flowers were not green, nor reddish rather, they were pinkish and purplish.  The sand colour was not brown but milky and the breeze was cool and sweet smelled.
                Forgetting that she was in a strange land, she gazed in wonder around her new terrain.  The scene before her was indeed ineffable. Her good mood became short lived however, when she met two warm smiling eyes watching her. she was not sure of returning the smile, after all, a lot of eyes that once welcome her had led her into danger this time probably, there might be no supernatural power to come to her aid. Death now might be inevitable.
                 The thought of death sent a wave of coldness through her vein, for once she glanced at her buzzard terrain with horror clearly spelt out on her face, the owner of the warm piercing eyes must have noticed the look, as she quickly spoke up calmly trying to help Pamela be at ease.
             "Welcome child to our kingdom, we mean no harm. We have been expecting you.  Now follow me"
              Dumbfounded, Pamela followed the fair Queen behind, the lady word puzzled her "we have been expecting You" She felt that she may have been killed by the white man, this might be her life after death, as her Grandmother use to say. Unsure of what to think of or do she subjected herself to providence and prayed  hard that the fair Queen (as she named the unknown lady) with a soft face would also house a soft heart.
                They walked along the corridor of a brick house, painted with golden colour, they took a left turn at the end of the corridor to a room that had the shape of a whale heart.
              "Welcome child, welcome" came a rich fatherly voice. Pamela almost embraced him but a voice within warned her, that behind the facade of warmth there might also be callousness.
                   Boldly, she glanced round the room, there were decorations of fishes, dominating the greater part of the wall. picture of water goddess were round the room, indeed she was in another world. Suspiciously, she looked at the lady who brought her into the room and noticed that the lady was as beautiful as her lovely daughter.  They sat round the dinning table, at the head was the man, who had welcome her in, two seats were vacant and some enticing dishes were placed on the dinning table.  Pamela mouth watering, she shifted uneasily on her feet.  The fair Queen noticing, ushered her guest to a seat next to the one she occupied. 
                The girls , who were six in number, had similar looks, long golden hair, curling at their waist and all fair skinned, flat noses and wide lips. The only man in their midst was the at the head of the table, he could be said to be beautiful and handsome, but was dark skinned.  Something peculiar about all of them was that they all wore big boots covering their flawless skin and compared it to her own dark rough skin, She felt odd.
                 "calm down child, relax and feel at home. I'm the king of this estate and you are welcome to my kingdom. I am Baron, my wife name is Carol ". He said indicating the lady who brought her in.
              "Their age difference might be much", thought Pamela. She assumed that Baron might be aged fifty and his wife thirty. The girls might be in between the ages of twelve and eighteen.  Noticing that a gaze was fixed on her, she quickly turned to look at the fair Queen, who' nodded her head politely.  Pamela returned the gesture.
                Baron continued, "These are my six daughter, no male "
  They smiled pleasantly at her, as she give out her best smile, introducing her self.
                 "My name is Pamela, but you can call me Pam" all her fears, frets doubts wore off, like ice melting and thought,   " if the man is wicked, his daughter won not be, they will plead for me."
               Two fair skinned but ugly looking girls , who came from nowhere, served  the meal .  After their departure, Pamela became mute, wondering how the girls came in to serve the food, without being called and disappeared without being told to do so.
                 "I call them from my heart and they hear. Do not be surprised" came the cool voice of the fair Queen.
                 The daughter giggled staring quizzically at their dark skinned visitor, who noticing their expression and smiled.  They all laughed and Pamela joined in not wanting to remain odd . They looked like nice mysterious people.
                Quietly they all ate the food, full of salty water and fish. Nonetheless it tasted good and appetizing.  As Pamela ate , she still had one more doubt to clear that made her not fully at ease.
  At the end of meal the two ugly girls came in as swiftly as they had come before. They cleaned the dinning table and served some juice, unknown to her, Baron was looking thoughtfully at her before he spoke
              "Pam, you are thinking about why we have a knowledge of you, done not worry . Just follow me"
                Pamela curiously follow Baron to an inner room, getting there, he ordered her to sit directly in front of a green eighteen inches television. He settled himself besid her and held an instrument, which was used to control the green television, between his fingers: it had the shape of a very small fish, He touched somewhere and the television set sent in an automatic flicker of light into the room. And image began to appear slowly.
              Pamela was flabbergasted when she saw herself tied to a stick very close to Ego, in the lad operation 04 "
                "How did......" she wanted to ask.
     "sh.....ssh, not yet " came the swift answer.  They continue, watching in silence. It showed how every single thing happened in such a slow way! Pamela seeing how she was thrown into the river shut her eyes tightly,. then she screamed...
