omg! I can’t believe I did it
geez!
I did it
I can’t remember the last time I was un-der the sin rays, mum have really ruined my life.
omg! I can’t believe the sight in front of me,it’s damn beautiful
I felt Like a new born baby
if not for my home teacher, who had taught me before she quit the job, I won’t have had an idea of all the things am seeing right now.
everywhere was covered with trees,no single cab was pas-sing by
gracious lord!
mum didn’t only hide me for fifteen years, she also kept me in a forest
geez!
I got so tired of walking, I sat on a little rock
geez!
the air Is so clean and fresh
gosh! it’s been long I experience something like this
the sun rays where warm on my skin
I felt excitement overwhelm me.
I felt so many things at a time.
if only I can move my room over here,
if only I can l@yon the road and make it my be-d, if only I can pick up a stick, using it as a mic and sing so loud for the whole world to hear.
if only I could make friends and live here together with them
sounds lame right?
but that’s what I really want
I felt so alive
I felt like a human again
I felt like an over pampered queen
I felt like screaming
I walked over to a pile of flowers and plucked the petals in it,I placed them on my pocket and continue moving.
each time I get to a sp©t, I will drop some petals on it, so I can easily trail my way back home
I don’t wanna get lost
I walked and walked for a long time
geez!
my feet where hurting me badly
geez! how can mum be so stupid to have locked me in a house inside a god forsaken forest
what if some wi-de animals jump off the Bush and pounce on me?
what if I get r*pe or haras-s by some as-s l!çk!ng gangsters?
what if I get kidnap?
what if have lost my way?
this thoughts didn’t nudge at me at first and right now am super scared
the petals on my pockets had finished and I still haven’t gotten to a place where I can sight humans, not even one
geez!
I feel so tired and hungry
I had nothing on me, not even a grain of sand
I suddenly wished I had stayed back home, if only I had obeyed mum
if only i hadn’t leave home,I would have cudd-lemyself up in my be-d.
I will never get out again
gosh! the sun was h0t on my feet and I stared at my feet and g@sp
holy mother**ker!
I had no shoe on!
geez!
I felt my feet burning un-der the sun
geez! the sun felt warm on me a while ago, why’s it becoming unfriendly and harsh to me?
is this what mum meant when she said I shouldn’t come out?
I felt my eyes heat up like I was gonna cry any moment soon.
suddenly I sighted a truck moving slowly
geez! I would have take this truck if it’s going back to the route leading to my house, but it’s leading out of town.
I waved it down and it slowed down few meters away from me
“this isn’t a pas-s£nger vehicle” he said and made to drive off.
if I miss this opportunity, I will be struck here for the night.
perhaps I can get a good Samaritan, who might help me with a fare back home
“plea-se give me a ride to wherever your going to,I lost my fare” I lied and he hesitated for a while before letting me hop into his goddamn truck
“thanks”I muttered as he drove off

I alighted from the truck and stared in awe at the ineffable sight in front of me.
the whole place look beautiful and busy,people where walking to and fro and it seems they couldn’t see me cause they kept walking past without sharing a greeting or small talks with me,
is this how they are?
I thought they were gonna be friendly?
don’t they knew I was locked up at home for fifteen years?
I huffed, walking aimlessly in anger when I saw a phone fall off a ladies handbag
I was dark alre-ady so most pas-sersby couldn’t see it,
though the street lights where glimmering
“hey!” I yelled running towards the pretty Lady
“what is it?” she asked giving me a cold glare
“sorry you actually misplaced this,it fell off your bag” I said and she g@sp on seeing her phone with me.
she snatch it from me immediately she caught sight of it
“how did you get a hold of my phone?
you stole it, didn’t you?”she rasp and I shuddered in shock
what!!
“I won’t have returned it if I stole it in the first place”I said rolling my eyes
“oh! my bad” the lady exclaimed
“am sorry I didn’t thought of that,am so sorry” she said and I huffed
my first time of trying to make another female friend after my fifteen years of boring life,and she just ruined everything
“it’s okay” I said and made to leave
“I would have shared sometime with you,perhaps a cu-p of ice cream won’t hurt,but am actually in a haste to go see my b©yfri£nd” she rasp and I as-sumed she’s a blabber mouth
“see you some other time,
am kira” she shared a small handshake with me and left even before I could reply
geez!
is this how they act here?
but this isn’t how they act in story books!
I had wanted to ask her for fare but she seems rude and pompous.
I turned towards the road.
now am stuck here!
a car light suddenly pierce into my eyes,halting in front of me and the occu-p@n-t c@m£ out of it.
what!
omg!
Episode 14
Karen
what!
omg!
mum!
what’s she dining here?
I thought she Left for Manila? and was suppose to fly in tomorrow?
then why’s she here?
and how did she got to know of my whereabout?
geez! mum would go ha-rd on me
she will flare up on me.
and it’s something I really don’t nee-d at this moment
all I nee-d now is a warm bath and a soft fli-pflop un-der my now aching foot
can’t believe I walked ba-re footed all this while!
mum elated from the car,fear was visible in her eyes
she walked past me and hurried into what looked like a station or something
“mum!” I called and she shrink on seeing me
her fears where suddenly replaced with anger
“mum!”I caller again and she walked towards me while I lean on the car bonnet
she kept staring at me in shock and surprise
“what are you doing here mum?
you left for manila this morning so how come your here?” I asked yawning tiredly
“Karen!” mum called like she say a ghost
“yeah mum it’s me
enough if that drama plea-se, I nee-d to get home before I slump here
my feet hurt badly” I said trying to open the car door
“you c@m£ out Karen
you disobeyed me Karen
you disobeyed your mother” mum yelled with tears flying off her eyes
“am sorry mum!
it won’t happen again” I pleaded and she kept on crying
“she got into the drivers seat and I got into the pas-s£nger seat beside her
she kept on sobbing while driving and all I could here her mutter was
‘Margaret why?
Margaret why?
you couldn’t save her
you couldn’t save your only daughter”she kept on sobbing
I really don’t know why she’s sobbing and soliloquizing,calling her name in the process
this woman is keeping me in the dark for too long
for heavens sake am her daughter and nee-ds to know everything that concerns me
“mum am sorry” I said and she kept sobbing,swerving the car into a bend
“there’s nothing to be sorry about Karen!
they are coming for you
they will surely come for you” she said sobbing real ha-rd
I was beginning to hate my self for stepping out of the house
geez!
mum is crying cause of me!
the only person have gat in the world!
“how did you got to know I wasn’t in the house?” I asked and she snivelled real ha-rd as she drove throu-gh the lonely road I had walked on
I strain my n£¢k to get a glimpse of the petals but found none
geez! can’t believe I would have got lost if mum haven’t showed up at the station
but what’s she doing there anyway
“I was the middle of an important meeting back there in Manila when Nita called to say you weren’t home and the entrance door was opened” mum said still snivelling
“I had to take the next available flight down here,I searched for you but didn’t find you,I was gonna report to the cops when you actually saw me” mum said driving into the woods,I caught sight of our house alre-ady
it’s the only house there
“so mum, why do we nee-d to live in here,far away from people, like we are some sort of wild animals mum”I said and she scoffed
“Roderigo brou-ght this on us,if not for your fathers mess we won’t have been here,probably you would have been in college”mum said pu-lling the car into the parking lot
“I don’t un-derstand mum!
what’s the mess all about?” I asked and she frowned
geez!
it’s been long I saw mum this angry
she looks really hurt by my actions
I just don’t un-derstand
“listen to me Karen!
am suppose to be mad at you,but I aren’t cause I feel it’s all my fault,if I had seat my as-s down here and didn’t attend the meeting, you won’t have gotten the nerves,the temerity to step an inch outside” mum yelled and I shrink in fear
“do you wanna make me leave my whole life here?
married to the house?” I asked and she scoffed
“am your mother and I know what’s best for you
I was only trying to fix things up and relocate far away from here alongside my job,once you clock 23,but you spoilt it all alre-ady” mum rasp
geez!
I never knew she had such idea
“mum” I called and she frowned
“no more word,from you go in there and pack up your bags
we are getting out of here first thing tomorrow morning” mum yelled and walked into the house
leaving me stranded
omg!
what’s wrong with mum?
Sky
“dad you s£nt for me” that bastard of a brother c@m£ in looking super cute as always
“yeah! I did,sit”dad said motioning to the chair in front if me while I sat beside him,with mum beside Kyle
like mother like son
“the monk haven’t really gotten a track of your bride,so I think you should get another bride”dad said and he flared up in anger
“if that’s why you called me dad,then am sorry to say am busy with something else” he said and stood up
“there’s nothing busier than you becoming king and having the kingdom on your shoulders
get another bride or lose the throne to your brother” dad yelled and I smiled
“what!
you can’t do that dad!
you know how much i crave for the throne” he yelled and mum slammed her hands on her forehead obviously tired of our our little br@wl
“then watch me do it!
get a bride before 72 hours or forget about succeeding me” dad said and he g@sp
“72 hours!
that’s 3days dad
how am I gonna go about that”he yelled
“probably Rana will suit him” I said mockingly
and his eyes grew red
“stay out of my business” he yelled and I felt a ti-ght hold on my throat
$h!t!
he used his powers on me
“let go of me” I yelled almost choking
“let go of him Kyle,do you wanna kill your brother” dad yelled and he let go of his powers on me
I fell to the ground with a heavy thud
“the next time you intrude into my privacy,I will make sure I fry your br@ins” he threatened and made to leave when a guard c@m£ in
“my lord the monk is here” he said and my eyes shone
“let him in” dad said and the monk c@m£ in moments later
“welcome noble one!
what do you have for us” dad asked and the monk sat on the floor speaking gibberish
“my lord!
I have finally found her foot print” he said and I jumped off my seat
what!….
TBC…
hmmmm they’ve found her ooo
