Chapter4:On the run

I hesitated for a while not knowing what to do.I made a fervent prayer to the Almighty and then accepted defeat.As I was about to lower my mask,a woman came screaming asking for help.The alarm went off and all doors and gates were opened.The woman was bleeding everywhere.She could barely explain with all the running.Every one of the guards ran to her and I was left alone with the open gates and a scooter.What better way for me to escape that this.I smirked knowing that luck was on myside but the question was why did the alarm go off if they did not realise.

Who cares,I told myself.I got on the scooter and without looking back I rode away.For a moment I thought they would stop me but they didn't.They were too busy to see me leave.The breeze and fresh air was everything I ever wanted.The calm city where no one cared nor knew me.I had a chance to be a normal woman again.To fit in the new society.I soon got carried away by the billboards on the walls, the tall colourful buildings and the many men and women around all minding their business.Oh the outside world.

Darkness crept in making the sun hide underneath.I had no place to stay,no food to eat and no one to help me.Shoot!I should have thought this through but another night in that prison hospital bed would have left me dead.I darted my eyes around the roadside to see if I could find a place to sleep or leftovers in this case but sadly I did not find any of the necessities.With no option left,I spread the big coat on me and laid myself to sleep.It was nothing new since I slept on the floor back in prison and I had been in far much worse places.The only difference was that it was peaceful and quiet despite the nightmares.Here on the other hand, mosquitoes biting me, helicopters flying,cars hooting,police sirens waking me up.This is not the life I signed up for.If I could go back and re-do all my deeds,trust me,I would do it in a heart beat.I could see couples passing in the middle of the night,holding hands,laughing,touching and all sorts of things.Things that I could no longer do or share with anyone.Watching this was torture itself.I was suddenly brought back to reality when I felt a slight tap on my shoulder.I shot my eyes open scared if who or what was before me.I blinked severally just to see clearly in dark and dim alley I was in.There was something.Someone who I could not see.Someone who it felt like I knew.I strodded closer to the thing cautiously and thank God.It was no one harmless just.....just........it was my brother!
