Hostility

Tears start to fall from my eyes,

'My first home, it may be temporary but it must still be good to have a place to belong'

Atchim

'Well it looks like it needs cleaning, it looks like they haven't been here in years.'

Hearing the wood creak under my steps

'They certainly haven't been here in years'

I feel hungry when I decide to go out

I walked across a few bridges before I found a woman with gray hair and a gray dress,

"Excuse me?"

I see her turn around and her eyes widen

when I notice the surprise in your eyes

'I completely forgot that they don't understand me, I need to read that book urgently'

'and if?'

I open the palm of my left hand while I close the right one and bring it to my mouth, as if I were actually eating

She nods her head and hands inviting me in

'What a kind soul, I don't know what I would do without knowing how to speak here'

A gray-haired man enters the house and I see the same surprise in his eyes, before tears and he takes the sword from his waist and points it at me while calling the old lady

" HUYU KIJANA NI NANI?"

I see her enter while waving for him to calm down

"Anafanana na kijana wetu, Ningewezaje kumnyima chakula?"

I watch the grip on the sword tighten before the old man gives his final word.

"NDIYE VAMIZI ALIYEMLETA KIONGOZI"

With a sudden understanding she looks at me and I feel strange

'What did he say to make her change that kind look?'

"Mwache achukue chakula aende tafadhali"

As she hands it to me, pushing me towards the door with sad eyes

'I understand, he doesn't like me, well I can't please everyone'

I leave the house and as I return, I feel a chill as I look around I see that everyone is staring at me with hostility

'I did something?'

Augh

looking back and kept walking for fear of a sudden back attack when I hit something hard like iron

When I looked at the supposed wall, I see a man with a scar on his face looking at me with a frown, I lower my eyes and see a grip on his hands

'Now is my luck running out'

I see him raise his arm to hit me

"Unafanya nini wewe mgeni?"

I close my eyes and cower waiting for the blow

I hear a heavy noise when I open my eyes and I see a familiar back, it was Harmódio

He smiles in my direction before pointing with his eyes at the guy who was going to hit me and I see him passed out.

"Thank you thank you very much" 

He looks at the floor where all my food was.

I feel guilty for wasting something so precious

'This is my fault'

tears start to threaten to come out of my eyes when I refuse

'I can't show weakness to them if they aren't going to oppress me'

Seeming to notice my sadness, he nudges me, beckoning me to follow him.

Many people continued to glare at me angrily behind Hermodium's back.

I follow him into a slightly larger house when an incredible smell assaults my nose.

noticing my body reaction he smiles as we sit at a table and he raises his hand

a brunette girl with black hair and red eyes smiles at us as they talk and she leaves

minutes after devouring the dishes we ate, I feel tired, and my body wobbles

'I think I'm going to take a nap'

I wake up and look around when I see that I'm in my house

'the sun has already risen'

step step

I run towards it when I see a familiar face at the door,

"Hello Catherine, sorry for the delay"

she smile

"It's okay, Hermódio woke up late so training was delayed, so let's enjoy it"

I feel relief in my heart

"Well, were you really tired from training yesterday?"

Surprised by the question

"Well I just..."

Looking down

"Never mind"

seeming to understand how I felt

"You know you can always count on me, after all you can't be down when I need my favor"

I feel chills on my back

On the way I noticed that everyone we passed greeted her with big smiles even though I was here next to her.

'She must really be an angel'
