Chapter 313 Step By Step

      That was a sad story she told. I can relate because my dad suffered this same thing. When Sharon was banished, he went into a coma and woke up the year he was to meet mom. I don't know how it feels to be in a coma for a hundred years and to wake up with no Memories. It must have been a hell of an experience for her and losing three of her loved ones at once. I can imagine because I lost three of mine on a day only that one was alive and was groomed somewhere.

  "So what happened while you were in the East?"

I asked curiously.

   "It was a small village, it took days to get there and when I got there, I was able to find a place to stay. I met a young lady like me and told her half of my story, like my parents were murdered and I don't want to stay in my country. The fact that I was black she helped me, I was told that my dad is Black while mom was white so typically I am a half cast more African and less of white."

  She said and paused again.

   When I saw her, I knew she was black, you can tell.

 "Go on"

   "Well I began to live with her and at the same time learn about African culture. I lived with her for years and in peace, that was rare. A human who could tolerate you is rare to find. 

   I met a guy along the line and we fell in love, I forgot all about witches and metas, for me to be in a coma for a hundred of years simply means I have got no mate. You know some of us are born without a mate or so I believe.

   He was so nice and he loved me to a fault, with the help of my African friend, I got married to him secretly and in a few months I became pregnant and at that point I got to know that guy was not just a guy but a demon in human form and my baby was to give him so sort of power but the funny part of this was it was not really him that I got married to, he was being manipulated, because I was later today that the guy who I actually married has been trapped and would be free if he lays his hands on my son. I had tried several times to understand how he was able to get to me through someone else but I can't figure it out.

   I was left in a dilemma and I did not know what to do, I don't think he was aware that I was aware too. I had to intercede day and night because I did not want to lose my baby to my demon lord.

  As heaven may have it I delivered but the baby was not what they claimed he would be. I was overjoyed but that joy was short lived because my husband threw me out with a new baby to start from scratch. A Month later, the baby died and I was tired of living, I did not want to live anymore and I transformed because I felt life had nothing for me."

  She concluded and I felt sad. The worst betrayal is when people pretend to love you because of what you can offer. I felt her pain though, I was betrayed like that.

   "I understand Rory and you are a strong woman, not everyone will go through what you went through and still keep their sanity. You did well and I hope the transformation did you some good?"

I said and she smiled.

   "Yeah, I found a hidden secret, I was given the wrong baby which means my baby lives but I was advised not to look for him so that he will be out of danger"

She said and smiled, first smiled since she began her story. That's goodness and this means one thing, that the baby has a gift like it was said and he had to be kept out of danger. There is more to this story and I would like to know what will become of the boy and if he will even be reunited with Rory?.

   "So now back to us, you love me don't you?"

"Yeah, I do Xylie and I am sure you can feel it"

    Well I will let it to sink.

"Let's take step by step, being friends then anything can come later"

I assure and pinched her nose which made her laugh heartily. She is adorable when she laughs like that.

   A knock came at the door and I knew right away that it's mom.

"Come on in, mom"

I said and the door opened, she smiled at us and announced that breakfast was ready then left. Rory grinned and I looked at her with my lips pulled up in the corner. What's making her grin, hope she is not up to something.

"What is that for?"

"What is what for?"

She questioned me looking clueless

"The grin on your face"

I said.

"Oh nothing really, stop questioning and let's go for breakfast"

She said and dragged me out of the room.
