Chapter 448 Destiny Will Always Find You

Gracie's Point of view….

I ran without looking back. My tears were flowing freely. I did not even know where I was running to. I was clouded by sadness. I felt like my whole life has been a lie. How can I be learning that someone I called a mom all my life is not really my mom but someone else. She has really hurt my feelings and I wished I could run and never return.

   I did not know how I came out of the building but I could care less. I was really running away from everything I have been told. I don't want to have anything to do with her anymore.

  I continue to run as my tears flow more. The more I run the more my heart is breaking into pieces. I just kept running, all I ever want is to run and run and run even though I was getting tired I just continued running.

   When my strength could not carry me anymore, I went down slowly to the ground and cried hoping that by the time I am done crying I will be a bit relieved.

  How do you suddenly cope with a new truth of your life? It might turn out that I am a witch by the look of things.

     "Being out in the open by this time of the night might be dangerous for a young girl like you."

  I heard a voice behind me and wiped my tears. I hate when people see me cry, It makes me vulnerable.

  I turned to see this shiny lady in white . At first I thought it was my white lady friend but looking closely at her, I saw that it was another person. Her skin was so white as the snow and her eyes sparkled under the moonlight. She carried herself like a queen and the aura around her was powerful.

    "Let's take a walk if you don't mind"

She said and began walking away. I stood up without thinking if it was okay to follow someone I don't know.

  I caught up to her.

"Who are you?"

I questioned her.

   "My name is Universe, I am a sister to your friend, the white lady as you call her"

I nodded.

  "So what's making you cry at this time of the night? You are not supposed to cry, it should be your happiest day"

     I don't know if I trust her enough to tell her what I just found out. I will lose nothing anyway. Maybe talking to her will help my pains go away. I heaved in some air.

  "I just found out that who I thought I am is not really who I am. I have been living a life filled with lies all these years. My mom is suddenly not my mom"

I said sadly and she stopped in her tracks and looked at me.

  "And why is that so, do you know?"

She asked.

  "No, I don't know"

I responded and she continued walking again.

  "I believe there is a good reason for everything that happened. There must be a reason your mom suddenly stopped being your mom, did you care to find out?"

   "No, I did not"

I sat chewing on my lower lips.

   "You were supposed to. I am sure she has a good reason for whatever she did. I just know one thing in life. No matter how you run, you can never run away from destiny. It will always find you"

  She was right about what she said.

"But whatever reason she has, she should have let me know when I came of age. I wouldn't hate her, I believe if she explained I would understand. To me the manner at which I found out the truth was unfair to me"

   "I know dear but you can't blame her. She did what she thought was the best. So if I were you, I would go back to wherever I am coming from and ask her why."

  She said and I stopped. That's what I should do.

  "You are right, I should do that. Thanks so much. You might take my greetings back to my friend. I hope to see you around"

She smiled at me and I smiled back. Talking to her has really relieved me.

I turned and started walking back to the building I came from. The moonlight will be my guide. I hope I find my way back.
