A Stroke Further

And I couldn't scream, as they took hold of me, I try to fight back but it was to no avail.

Finally, I laid at the back seat of their vehicle.

God please help me was all I could say.

But I didn't know who was at the hospital, mom or dad.

Panicking began more vehemently, but how do I leave.

A tear drop blessed the ground and I wish we had all left for another state.

"Ma, we are bringing her daughter" the man on black said, still having proper grip of me.

Who are they talking to?

What are my involved in?

What are they involved in?

Floating in tears, a swimmer will surely die.

Black out, there was no sound silence must have found a perfect home.

In that moment, nothing made sense even common sense.

"What do we do to her?" a voice echoed through the atmosphere, scaring the living day light out of me

"Boss has not yet given the orders yet" another spoke, adding more tension to the air

"How do you expect her to talk, she would be at the location and remember that she always say no distractions" the first voice said again.

"Silence!!!" Someone just walked in, apparently she was the boss.

"Boss we did just had you have requested, we kidnapped the girl quietly.

"Beautiful, hope no one saw you and most especially was there, any one at home?" She said walking around the room in the darkness

"No ma, we met the house empty"

"EMPTY!! NOOO, WHERE DID SHE GO TO" it was clear she meant my mother, but what did she do to her.

"Kill the kid, and throw her off a bridge. I would come for her mother" fear took over me and I could barely breathe.

Me!

Death, Why me!!

I am yet to even have my first kiss, God please.

I guess that was my destiny.

I was held up and then taken to a bridge.

"Your death would be a silent one" the first voice whose name I had come to know as Rakas took hold of me with my hands bounded and lips sealed, then threw me off the bridge into the river to drown.

I sank, in tears, in pain, in agony, wanting to know who was at the hospital.

I struggled to be free; this is not how I plan to die. Slowly I was getting choked and living was slowly leaving.

Finally, I loosed myself and opened my mouth. But I can't swim.

It was either I die or live or I can't die just like that, so I must swim like a fish.

I swam not knowing how, but I kept every stroke forward. For my mum, for my dad and even for family.

I ended up becoming a great swimmer.

I finally got back on land.

"Dais I have missed you" Joshua said now sitting on the hospital bed.

I am now a shadow, I do not exist so what is there to miss.

"Can you just leave, I would love to be alone" I could see the shock in his eyes, but I don't want him to see the freak I have become and ended up joining the rest who calls me a witch.

"But..."

"But nothing" I cut him short knowing he was already growing in pain.

"Please leave" saying those words made me die a million times.

I turned back so as not to see him leave, I do not want to bother him with my life. Not now that mum is a mad woman in search of blood.

Back on land, my bones had disoriented; left to right, back to front. I was walking with pain, in every step a greater pain.

It was not time to be in pain, it is time to find my parents.

I walked as fast as I could but could barely cover some miles. I fell on my knees, I needed water, help me!

Someone please!

Can anyone just come to my aid?

I pleaded with nature to send help.

But I guess nature went on a vacation.

Finally, a truck drove by. All I could do was wave as all my strength was now place in that hand.

"Please stop" I whispered to myself.

On seeing me from afar, the truck driver stopped.

"Where to Miss?" He asked looking very suspicious of me.

"California sir"

"California!!! That's like a three hours journey from here"

Wait, three hours!!!

How!

All I remember was passing out and being tied up. Oh God!

Where am I?

"Miss I can take you there, I also have some food at the back" he must have seen me as a beggar, well I don't blame him. Who won't see me that way?

"Thank you sir" I laid at the back seat but this time not bounded, I stretched my body in freedom trying to reset my bones. What a 24hours this has been.

"How is my patient doing this morning?" The calm Doc said trying to light up the room.

But what is the point? I have forgotten how to laugh.

"Nurse Susan I hope she is taken her drugs?" he pointed to the drugs on the table yet to be taken.

"No Doctor Gideon, she refuses to take them"

What's the point, please I just want to die. I have only known sadness for the past six years.

I just want peace even if it is in hell.

"Miss Daisy, why haven't you taken your drugs, you need them to get better or should we just tell your mum? Probably you miss her petting"

"I would take the drugs, no need to call my mom I won't want to stress her" I took it quickly; I don't want to see her.

Who would believe that there was a time I could go through hell and back just for my mum?

The truck drove slowly as it had some heavy loads behind.

The driver was silent through out most of the journey, even scaring the hell out of me.

We drove with so much silence; I know he wanted to ask how I got those bruises.

But he just didn't know how to.

"Miss, I know it is not in my place to ask this but what happened, why all this injuries on you or don't you feel we need to see a doctor?" Finally he broke the silence.

"No sir, I am fine, I don't want to go to any hospital" what if those monsters are still out there.

No where is safe!
