chapter four

A shivering figure could be seen stumbling into a room as she desperately search for something where is it? where is it?

till she suddenly pulled open a drawer and bring out a syringe with her shaky hands she withdraw a fluid from the vile and injecting it to her own body it was like she did not feel pain but ease and as she was done she stopped shivering and her face started turning rosy from its former paleness but her breath was uneven as her chest kept on heaving up and down at a fast rate her fist was clenched and the sign of blue veins can be seen on her pale white skin not long after her episode stopped and she regained her calmness

as she sit to catch her breath the door was opened followed by the appearance of a figure though slightly dirty the glaring blood stain on her chest was eye-catching on her white shirt

as she entered the room she said

Mom am back

the woman on the edge of the bed just smiled and said your guests arrived when you weren't around and I hosted them to the best of my abilities

though the words utters were weird she understood the meaning she replied that though it's good to strike the iron when hot every single hit required precision and careful steps for a good result I very well understand what you have been trying to teach me

the woman was pleased and said you finally learned but how far we can survive time will tell

why are you saying that are you anxious about something mom

the woman stood up and walked towards the balcony and then her hands gripped the railings tightly though it seemed like he sent the hunter here for the item he himself is unaware he is a pawn

I don't get it.

don't worry and just do what I tell you to

alright and pack a few light things I have a feeling we would have to move

I get it now I will get moving but her movement was halted by the low groan from her mother followed by another her mother was a woman with great self persistence for her to groan like this upon further observations a watery fluid could be seen flowing between her legs her water broke

April call Aya for me and also tell her to make the necessary preparations

she answered yes and she dashed out

and when she returned she was with a young girl in her teens she had brown eyes with her hair packed into bun her slim figure wasn't that curvy but she still had that beauty that one can just help but continue to look unable to withdraw the eyes

she looked at April mom and said

it's time help me lift her up

they both supported her at both side as they walked out they just walked a few steps and opened the another door it was like they were transported from the room to a hospital ward within milliseconds the whole place was neat and all the required equipment was set as they placed her on the bed Aya faced April and said would you excuse us from here

okay but her eyes never left her mother as she walked through the door the moment she was on the other side her body just slumped as she squatted down with her head downward she shutted her eyes with both fist clenched at this time her mother's words were ringing in her ear at that moment when she turned fourteen she said on this life when the tides will turn is uncertain we live our lives taking risk and making decisions the outcome will determine whether it was good or bad but I want you to know that even though in the process you made a mistake don't dwell in regret rather think of a solution because that is the only way forward

as she thought about this she could not help but smile as she knows that her mother has thought her all Se need to know and it was right that she took risk in the name of love and that was the most stupid thing she has ever done and right now the mess she created she has to clean I won't let those who hurt my family get away with it I will make sure they wish for death in every single manner

what was happening in the other room is unknown as the room was sound proof

in the other room the ghastly pale woman moaning from pain was unrecognisable as her face was damp with sweat as her hair was scattered on the bed the once grateful figure who trampled on the dignity of the mighty hunter has been reduce to a mother fighting for her life her cries was loud as she kept on pushing after a whole hour of touture the b

cries of baby could be heard

it's a boy mam the girl cleaned up the baby as she rapped him in a neat cloth as she gave the child to its mother

the mother carried her child with hear filled with tenderness

am sorry if am intruding your privacy mam but why don't want to she light to all this to April

April May be smart but her compassion for an ally is way too strong as this can be a major setback but it's good as they think she is dead I don't want to burden her soul with too much it was my mistake and it shall end with my existence I don't have much days left anyway and after giving birth to this child I don't think I can live more than three days so let's make good use of the time we have my only regret is that I could not let my children have a life of normal people as she said this her body sway as she collapsed on the bed still holding on to the child a lone tear escaped her eyes as she whispered am sorry

Aya took the baby from her hands and said it's better you rest for now all she received was silence she knew that her body has already gave away and she has already fallen to a deep sleep
