ABANDONED

Chapter 28

 "Is anyone at home?" Mom asked coming back home as she saw the door open.

I cleaned my eyes in the room and came out of my room wearing the red card.

"Welcome Mom," I said smiling.

Mom looked at me in shock and dropped her bag on one of the couches while I stood staring at her.

"Why are you home so early?" She asked me and I sighed, looking down.

"What's wrong?" She asked me and I raised the Red card that was hung on my shirt.

"What!" Mom exclaimed.

Her phone rang immediately, and she went to a corner to answer the call.

"Hello, ..., Okay." She said and looked at me.

She went towards the TV and turned it to a station where I saw myself standing. I knelt near Mum, and she placed her hand on my head, smiling.

Minutes later, I was shown murdering Richie and Mum looked at me.

"Mom!, I'm sorry," I said, and Mom gave a sad smile and continued watching the station.

I was also shown where I murdered Rihanna up to where I was given a Red card.

"Mom!" I called.

Mom smiled and got up from the couch. She went to the T. V and turned it off and later went to her room.

"Please, Mom!" I screamed and knocked on her door, but she didn't answer.

Seeing that she wasn't going to open it to me, I left the door side and went into my room. I took the key and locked the room door with it.

I lay on my bed sobbing and an hour later, I heard knocks on the house door and got up as I looked through the window to be sure of who was knocking.

"Come out! Bring her out here!" I heard them say.

The men started throwing sticks at the door, and I bowed my head down so as not to be seen.

Minutes later, I heard Rose's voice.

"I need to pass, Please leave the way I need to go in." I heard her say.

"Are you a member of this house?" I heard a man ask Rose.

"Yes, I am the last born." She answered.

The man held Rose tight and said, "You won't go in unless that blood-sucking demon is brought out of the house to us."

"My sister isn't a blood-sucking demon. She got treated and she is healed." Rose said.

"Oh, she is healed, you would let me know about that later." A woman said.

"Just leave me," Rose said struggling with the man and I could hear Mother sobbing in the living room.

"We won't go anywhere until that blood-sucking demon is brought here." The woman said.

"Okay, why are you holding me? If you want them blood-sucking demon, why don't you allow me to go into the house and bring her out to you?" Rose asked.

"Little girl, you think you are wiser than we. You just want to go in there so you can hide with your family, no, we won't accept that." Another man said.

"Please leave me. I promise to bring out my sister to you." Rose said.

"No, little girl, you may act wise, but you aren't wiser than us." The man holding my sister said.

"I'm not acting wiser than you," Rose said.

"Look at me," The man said.

"Yes sir," Rose said.

"Your sister murdered my beautiful cousin, Rihanna." The man said with tears.

"She also murdered this woman's son." The man continued. "We've heard of the murder she made in her former school, but this is the height of it all."

They continued throwing stones at the door and I could hear Mom's sob increase.

I walked out of my room and slightly peeped to see what Mom was doing in the living room.

I saw her pushing some tables to hold the door, and I took a deep breath.

"This is all my fault," I said to myself, then went back into the room.

I sat on the bed and stared at the ceiling.

"What would happen now?" I asked myself.

"You are going to be Abandoned." I heard a voice say.

I turned around to see the person who talked but didn't see anyone. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, then I saw the woman I had seen in my dream a long time ago. I opened my eyes and looked around, then I shook my head.

I went to the window side to hear and see what the people were doing or saying.

"Please leave me alone." I heard Rose say while struggling with the man who held her.

"You have to open this door today." A woman in the audience said.

"We won't leave here until you open the door and bring out that blood-sucking demon to us here." A man said.

"We won't leave." All the people said.

"If we leave here today without the blood-sucking demon, we are going to kill your lovely last daughter." A man said, and Mom screamed.

She came running into my room and pulled my hand.

"No Mom, No Mom, do not give me to them. Do not abandon me." I said while Mom dragged me out of my room.

She held me with her full grip and continued dragging me until we reached the living room.

I took my hand away from her and wanted to run, but she caught up with me.

She dragged me to the door and pushed away all that she used to hold the door.

I immediately knelt when she was about to open the door.

"Mom please, don't give me to them." I pleaded.

Mom broke down in tears.

"I have lost two daughters and I can't afford to lose one again." She said. "I lost my daughter Diana and I lost you when you decided to become a demon." Mom said and opened the door.

"Here she is," Mom said, and three men held me down while Rose ran to Mom.

They both entered the house and shut the door.

The men holding me left me and took up stones to throw at me.

I looked at the door of my house then at the men and growled, making all the people run away.

I walked to the door of the house and knocked on it but no one answered.
