"Hmm" I sat on my leg.
"Please help me"I said in a low and weak voice.
The lash made me weak but me being in this situation did weaken me the more. Thinking about everything that has happened to me since when my mom died till this moment make me want to commit suicide but like my grandmother do tell me when she was alive ,when there is life there is hope.
"Please"I said again trying to hold his leg but he stepped back.
"Why did you think I can help you?"He asked
"I..I just felt it,I don't know but believe me I don't know anything about this matter". I said in a wobbly voice.
"Oh so you think talking to you made you think I will be the one to help you right" he said quietly and it sank into me.
True, why do I think he will be the one to help me, I don't even know him? The fact he disappeared what if he is a ghost, what if he helps me I will disappear with me or I honestly knew my mind is messed up
My eyes became teary, I am tired.
"What can I do to make you and others believe am innocent"? I said in a small voice.
He laughed.
"Your name?"he asked me in a fruity voice.
"Ava," I told him
"Bird"
"Huh Bird??" I said looking up at him.
Did he just call me a bird?
"You are Ava which means You are a Bird," he told me.
"I don't get you," I told him confusingly
"It's okay! you don't need to understand, birdie "He said almost laughing.
'What's your name"I asked him.
"You are an Aussie right?"He asked ignoring the question I asked him
I nodded.
"Who are y.."He cuts me off
"Stand up," He said in an unrecognized firm tone.
I quickly stood up.
"Come closer"he told me.
I did.
"Stop"He said.
Let me make you smile a little bit, did you want to see this big room?" He asked me in a quiet voice.
"Yes," I gave him a weak smile.
You won't know I just receive some lashes minutes ago.
He clicked one of the buttons beside the big table and everywhere was bright.
"Wow"I said.
The room Is very big,there were a lot of chairs and tables,then I sighted a black chair bigger than other chairs.. It's look royal or kind of elegantly made-Just few things that haven't seen before.
I looked around one more time,his voice brought me back to present.
"Are you done checking?" He said.
"Huh yea"
"Your age?"
"Huh??"
"Did you know...jeez you can leave"he said out of frustration.
"I...I should leave, I thought you..."I told him confused about the change in his voice.
"I won't say twice again"He said.
LEAVE!!!!
My soul almost jumped out of my body, I stepped back quickly and I ran towards the door opened it and stepped out. I was shocked.
Did he just shout or growl,is he an animal? -Jeez! that was scary.
I don't even know my way here or where I will go to, how do they expect me to find my way from here. Just how?
I started following the path I passed when coming, I could still remember the way.
But why did he shout like that? Did I do something wrong or he is a psycho?
"Heeeesh"I sighed. My back really hurts me, I know there will be marks on it. I don't know how I will get it cleaned off. Even with my step mother harshness towards I always made sure my skin is always protected.
I got to the place I saw those guys laughing the other time,they weren't there again.
I looked around the place it is very beautiful.
I haven't seen a place built of glass before so it's my first time.
It's a pity I am not used to things of this present age, I don't have a phone nor a laptop how am I supposed to know the new things happening all thanks to my high school life that made me know few things, and the fact I always stay in Rose shop, Anytime her customer comes and they are drunk after drinking five bottles of beer. They will call me to help them dail their wife's or children's number.
So I got to know few features on phone through that, there is time I was saving up my money to get myself a phone but I used the money for my drugs instead.
Life of an ulcer patient!
As soon as I leave here,I will find a good work and I will get myself gadgets and other useful things I need.
I was going till I got to a place I couldn't recognize again...wait did I miss the way? I asked myself looking around, is this a museum? There were lots of drawings on the wall.
I sighted a beautiful strange drawing I went closer to it,I got tempted to touch it so I used my hand to traced it.
A lion lying on down,a small boy kneeling down,a woman and man on the ground lying down in a red something... Is this a blood? I guess so.
I saw another small boy also sitting down quietly in a place close to the other drawing, there's a tattoo on his waist close to his back, "KING" was inscribed on his body. There's a small crown after the KING, then I noticed the same thing on the man lying down in the pool of blood's neck also.
What's the meaning of the drawing? I thought within me, I saw other portraits as it was snakes, house, and other Random things but the first portrait caught my eye, it's beautiful and has a lot of meaning.
Whoever draws it is talented.
I was about to move back to see the portrait again when I heard a voice.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING THERE, LADY??"!!
