FLASHBACK
Isolated
Growing up I have always wondered why we stayed away from the rest of the family, never had reunions or family gathering I do not know half of my father's family. All I know is that one of my cousins said we were royalty at grandma's birthday and people laughed awkwardly and nervously as my father took me out of the room and asked if I needed the bathroom when I shock my head no he told me to go anyway and then ask an aunt to take me. Ok I was 14 years old at the time, this was embarrassing. When we got back the mood had shifted, and I felt it in the air as I walked in so a went to my grandma and kissed her and wished her a happy birthday. The mood slowly lifted, and the party began to pick up in full swing I stayed with grandma as she told stories about the past. This was the first and last time I had heard of my father's side of the family. Imagine my surprise when I was visited by a group of men while I was on campus and escorted into a black car. 'oh my gosh I am being kidnapped' 'technically adultnapped' 'you mean young adult' 'oh now your no longer an adult?'
Hey there, sorry I was being rude there, it took a couple of chapters, my name is Skylar and the other person talking to me is Skye my conscious/other half or as she calls it my common sense.
Back to the events at hand ahhh! The semester has come to an end and I leave for home this weekend I miss my grandma.
I am being taken away, strangely they leave my hands free and place me in the middle of two giant men all dressed in black real men in black type things.
I laugh to ease my nervousness, I would panic if I was thrown into a boot and try some taken shit but no luck.
"Hello, may I ask where we are going I have a test to prepare for and would hate to miss supper without cancelling it, talk about a waste" I say the last part mainly to myself.
They keep quiet all focused on the road aheard. I could pull out my phone in hopes to contact someone but what if they take it away, keep it safe for now.
" Ok, can you tell me where you are taking me and when I will return to Res (residence/ accommodation for students)?" I am greeted by silence again.
I swear I have been taken by people with hearing problems. I think I said that out loud as they all turn to look at me. At least that clears up one thing, I think I made them angry oops.
Ri ndilani na Ndau (we are on our way with the Lion), I figured they where hired guns but who would want me?. I am a common girl who works of my fees working at the university, I have nothing they could want, that and they seem to know me. There goes my plan to talk my way out and convince them that they have the wrong person. Ri do swika husi kale (We will be there in a short while).
We get to a parking structure and I am escorted to the elevator and I look like a little girl in my rose pink Jeep shirt showing my cleavage and my tight black skinny jeans and tan suede work boots with my backpack strapped over one shoulder. I am not slim I am thick and curvy with extra fat here and there, don't get me wrong I love my body the boobs and the butt and hips I find myself sexy. The only thing I am happy about it the fact that I was not drugged or hurt as that may affect my child.
We stop on the ground floor and I follow the scary men, everyone around looks so professional and the work day is not over yet so people keep staring at me of the guards. In any other situation I would be shy but I need to boss up, I walk with my head held up high and confidence. I will show no fear to my captors. We turn away for the main lobby and the Sign reads 'M Mining', they call up and there is a man in the lift 10 minutes later.
