Chapter 150

I do not know how long I laid there but it must have been a while, the weather had changed considerably, but everywhere was still silent and void of life. I rubbed my hand across the bandaged site, trying to see if the pain was still as evident as it was when I woke up, but that was obviously a great mistake. I felt so angry and frustrated as I laid there incapacitated, I could not sit up or stand. To worsen it all up, my bladder decided to make itself Known to me, my throat was parched and my stomach was protesting loudly asking for sustenance

I could certainly list a thousand things wrong with me as I laid down there but it was all to no avail. Despite my body's need for relief, one of the major things that bothered me was the lack of life around for some time now, certainly someone must have brought me here and taken care of my injuries but where were they now? And I was so worried about the boys too, I was supposed to apply more herbs for them and make sure they were not playing roughly too. I can only hope and wish that someone was taking good care of them in my absence and they would not be angry that I did not keep my words,

Since I was alone I decided to think of my newest friend, I still have not gotten her name but to me I have made a lot of progress too. I do not think she is the kind of person that one walks up to and say I want to be your friend, you need to show her that she needs you in her life. She does not allow people in easily, so I need to prove to her that I would not hurt her or have her regret her decision. One of the major attribute about her that stunned me was her voice. I never knew she could sing and sing very well, she could make anyone feel the emotions she wanted to portray, irrespective of your mindset and the way you have hardened your heart against it, it will surely penetrate and you would end up shocked when you find yourself swaying to it

I strongly believe she could use her voice as a weapon if she so wanted. Her voice could be used to speak against the injustice done against us and could manipulate their emotions to feel the pains , struggle and suffering which we go through everyday to survive, the fear we experience when we notice it is a day and we have to get up and face a fate we can never avoid or run away from unless something is done about it. I only hope she would be receptive to it, as I plan to ask her to join us in this our little force we are conversing, her voice could give our people more strength to fight on.
