#Chapter18

Confetti

The old woman offered Kierra something to wear, food to eat and a bed to sleep in, but Kierra couldn’t eat her food or sleep because she was terrified and still in shock due to what almost happened to her.

When she closed her eyes, she kept on seeing the faces of the men who almost raped her.

/"Can’t sleep?/" The old woman asked her and she nodded. The old woman sat by her and placed her hands around her.

/"What almost happened to you was terrible but it didn’t happen. You should be grateful to God for that and get over it/", she said and Kierra didn’t say anything.

/"What’s your name, child?/" She asked her. /"Kierra/", she said, softly.

/"That’s a lovely name. Where are your parents and how did you end up there?/" She asked her and Kierra was quiet.

/"You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to. I’ll leave you to rest and tomorrow, I can take you home/", she said to her and she left.
