31 SILENT (2)

Mu yazhe had never met the shadow guards before so he was a bit wary of all of them. Mu yazhe looked at Mu zain who nodded to acknowledge them then turned his face to Mu yazhe "they are Anna shadow guards". Mu yazhe looked at Mu zain like he grew some horns he thought it sound like some ancient movie scene "what, when did this happen, how come I didn't know"!!! He looked at Anna but she didn't speak she just looked out of the window. Mu zain answer his numerous questions "they came along when Anna came over from England. They stay at the compound at the very back. And I had made a promise to Anna that nobody would know about them". Mu yazhe amused by this "no wonder you were never worried about Anna going on missions and even sneaking off at night she was always protected". "Not just her the children to they watch over them too". Added Mu zain. "Well I'll be dammed are they like our little Master here" asked Mu yazhe. They all nodded Mu yazhe gulped his saliva down he found it terrifying imagine another 9 Annas fighting his whole body would need a cast. Mu zain walked over to Anna and asked "how she was and what happened". Anna didn't reply to his question she just carried on looking out of the window. Mu zain realised Anna was upset with him it was the first time he yelled at her since she arrived. Mu zain looked at Anna's face she was flushed red she still beats of sweat on her forehead her hair was stuck to her face she looked like a little child sulking she just looked so adorable he wanted to pull her cheeks but when he looked in her eyes they were sad and silently protesting.

Anna never showed her emotions she was taught from an early age if you showed your weakness it would be used against you no matter how much it hurt you had to hold it in until you were alone. So her face remained indifferent but eyes told a different story Mu zain learned something new today and he felt even worse now in 7 years this is the first time he had seen this was he really blind before he could kick himself so hard. Mu zain turn to Ed and asked "what happened". Ed was just about to reply when Anna looked at Ed as to not say anything Ed bowed his head at Anna then he looked at the team and said "its time to go". The team gaze ed at Anna but seeing Anna's face they bowed and left quietly. Mu yazhe amazed at what he saw he looked at Anna in whole different light is heart fluttered at his little Master. Mu yazhe came over to Anna's bed he realised his brother had a worried expression on his face. "Anna I'm really sorry for raising my voice at you I will explain but later okay"!!! Mu zain said softly. "I am sorry too "butted in Mu yazhe. Anna looked at them but still did not speak.

The door opened and Amelia burst in she ran over to Anna and hugged her she kissed her forehead few times then held her face with her hands and asked "blue rose sweetness are you okay I just met the team they told me what happened why do you silently endure for when will you learn you are not alone I feel what you feel we have been apart but I felt every bit of your pain where ever I am". Anna didn't speak she just grabbed her sister's waist and hugged her tightly her tears fell like a waterfall than in a shaky voice" jade I want to sleep in your lap will you part me so I won't have any nightmares". Amelia adjusted her self so Anna could lie on the lap while holding her waist Amelia patted Anna like a mother patting her little child Anna soon fell asleep Amelia placed Anna head back on the pillow and cover her. Mu zain and Mu yazhe looked at the sisters with such guilty conscious now for hiding their mother's sins they unintentionally hurt Anna deeply. Amelia pointed to the door she walked ahead outside they followed Amelia asked how long has Anna been this way.

Mu zain explained:" that Anna always puts on the good front she never lets anybody" he had a lot more to say but he stopped he had a question "why didn't you get Anna treated they night we dropped her off she still got the bullet lodged inside of her". Amelia looked puzzled what bullet are you talking about? My yazhe tried to explain "when we dropped Anna of that night we told you that she had hurt herself and needed treatments remember". "Yeah, I remember I cleaned it and dress it what about it" answered Amelia. Both men just looked at Amelia "you know, it was a gunshot wound and the bullet is still lodged inside of her" told Mu yazhe. "You never told me that no wonder she always she was in pain and sometimes her arm went numb," said Amelia. "That means Anna doesn't know she's got a bullet in her". Mu zain put his hands on his head moved them back and forth.

Mu zain looked through the glass at Anna with a soft gaze he couldn't figure Anna out just when he thought he knew everything about her she gives one more surprise. Amelia looked at both men then said, "Anna, is not one to complain of a headache, flu, cough, or cold. She has to collapse before you even realise there's something wrong she feels she has to carry the weight of the world on her shoulder she alone endure the pain so everyone around her can live in comfortably". "Anna just sometimes forget she is human all thanks to the old man". Mu yazhe heartbeat accelerated he didn't know why Anna start to affect his emotions he just wants to hold her, comfort her, let her know he's there.

Anna stirred in her sleep she was having a nightmare they all walked back in the room Amelia walked grabbed Anna's hand to comfort her Anna speaks mama don't leave us take us with you, mama, the man look out mama I love you take care of my mama I will find her when I old enough I promise thank you, papa,,,. Anna found her self not been able to breathe she gasped for air Anna woke up in a panic it took a while for her to adjust the saw Amelia she hugged her "I remembered the dream mama didn't die papa came and took her"? She whispered in Amelia ears. Amelia thought that in her dream Anna believed their mother was alive.

What Amelia doesn't know is that Anna had seen what had happened to their mother how her mother had just escaped thanks to their father because of the fire everyone thought that Anna mother perished in the fire when the warehouse where Anna and her mother were held hostage by some gangsters caught fire it exploded throwing Anna into the river nearby water she nearly drowned everyone said Anna, Amelia become orphans. But When Anna tried to tell everyone that her mother wasn't dead she was punished each time to the point where Anna was confused to what she has seen. Nobody mentioned their father so the girls didn't know who he was, where he was or if he was still alive.

In the same hospital, a young boy has been brought in for checks he's been coughing up blood since his abduction he was beaten up badly his father and mother sat by him his brother sat on the sofa playing on his phone. The boy's grandparents are sat next to him. The doctor has finished with his checks and" explained that due to the trauma the young not faced his liver has been damaged and because he lost a lot of blood he needs an infusion we don't have his rare blood type so could the family be checked to give blood"?. The whole family is checked to see if there any matches even his Auntie and uncle. His brother is the only one with the same blood type. "There is only so much blood his brother can give this young man what he needs more "? explained the doctor. The nurse stood there listening she speaks "doctor there is a patient who was admitted today she has this blood type perhaps we could try her". The doctor looks at the nurse pulls her away and asks "what was she admitted for". She had "mild heart trouble". "Let me check her medical record to see if she is suitable and next time talk to me in private about this matters not in front of the patient you can't give them false hope".
