Chapter 1
Useless girl!!! Good for nothing!!! Prostitute!!" My father's wife or should I say concubine raged like a wounded lion ready to devour it's prey.
Oh!I have to run for my life if not this bitch will send me to early grave- getting to the balcony with a rolling stick ready for any attack.
I tiptoed to where she is as I was about to get to her side my leg hitted the old bucket and it got her attention turning to me with her red eyes.
"You will meet your mother today!! She raged.
She was about throwing the knife at me when I threw the rolling stick and it hit her on her head-yeah!! I targeted it well.
She fell down groaning, saying curses
I closed the gap between us took the rolling stick and hit it on her head, knowing she is unconscious I went inside her room and took money from her purse.
I went inside my room took my crossed bag and my drug and made sure I looked like a normal human being and not insane.
Then I ran for my life.
***
Staring at the house I left some minutes ago brought tears to my eyes-
"Ava am home"!!
Twelve years old Ava running to meet her mom
"I got you some chocolate" she said smiling widely.
I collected it from her unwrapping it, shoving it inside my mouth
"What will you say girl"she said
'Oh!!mom I love you"I said hugging her
Later that night some unknown came looking for my dad but met mom and she was shot dead right in my eyes.
That was the last day I touched her, hugged her,talked to her.
The next morning dad came and mom was buried-A week later dad brought that woman to our house
"Ava sorry for what happened to your mom and haven't been a responsible father to you, you are still young to not have a mother figure in your life"he said
"So she is going to be your foster mother and be a good girl" he said coldly leaving me with the stranger.
I ran inside my room took my mother's picture crying-Mom I missed you come back to me.
That's how I started living with the witch, I endured her madness for nine years before I escaped-I'm finally free from her bondage.
***
Going through the street thinking of what I will do-oh that bitch really made my life hell.
"Cabbie" I said waving to a cab.
I entered the cab and the driver said where to?
"Greenwood" I replied
I thought about my life-how I have become the shadow of myself .
After some hours,I alighted giving him his money.
Staring down at the busy life in greenwood yeah!Am two hours away from home and am here to live my life the way it supposed to be.
Then I started my journey walking down the street looking for a coffee shop.
I got to a coffee shop sat down ordered for a cup, sipping my coffee i suddenly felt pressed, shit!! I need to use the restroom.
I stood up went to the back of the shop, luckily I found a public toilet..I was done I saw some men talking to man on his kneel
I got closer to have a clearer view of what's happening I heard the man crying and begging the men in black
"Oh! this is unfair"I said loudly.
They turned to look at me, focusing their attention on me
I gave them the "what look" and I turned back going back to the coffee shop.
I heard "boss he escaped"one of the man in black said -huh who escaped? I turned.
"Oh the poor man escaped like I escaped from that witch that's so cool of him"I thought within me
"Get her"!!! And find luke!!!
Huh?? Get who??I saw them coming after me and I took to my heels.
But who am I kidding? the men caught me.
"Leave me alone you bastards!!Do I know you before!!!Do you know me!!I came here to take a cup of coffee!!" I shouted struggling with them.
I was brought to the front of a truck,I saw one of the man trying to communicate with another person,the second man was trying to bring a rope to tie me
Then I thought of what to do,yes!! I kicked the one on phone in his forbidden part he fell down groaning.
I tried escaping when I felt something like a bomb on head,I fell down and driftted into unconsciousness.
