SMITTEN BY HER (unedited)

The Kidnap

Although Sophia's aunt was heartless to her, she never for once gave up on her dream. She works harder every now and then to keep up with her dreams but it looks like she wasn't just going anywhere and the people always around her makes fun of her

  "Just be deceiving yourself" That's what most people spit at her face but she didn't even mind as long as.................
    But Sophia knew been a veterinarian. She has passion for animals and most times she is deprived of food she made sure 'Shaky' there dog doesn't get starved, so she made all that in her shedule before leaving to hawk.

     All of the sudden things became too easy for her. Her Aunt, her.... Everything became so different suddenly making sophia keep wondering or  was it because she saw something strange that made her feel kinda strange or was it when she bumped into her Aunt in her study that made her scream  her heads out of Sophia. NO ONE KNOWS. And anytime Sophia wants to communicate effectively to her kids in order to balance the equation, all of the sudden they behave....... It's just that no one treats her as a human and anytime she wants to be treated like one, her Aunt will tell she doesn't belong that she should find her square root but now everything is going opposite.

      Mrs. Rachael at the other hand is someone full of unimaginable characters. She hates Sophia so much that she can't even bear her presence around and all these years she kept her, she kept her for what only people would say about her if she hadn't take her in. She has three kids but ever since Sophia had set her foot into the her house she had never for once set her eyes on her husband and anytime she brings up the topic, 'SHE WILL DEFINITELY FACE HER WRATH'
     "Sophia!!!! " Racheal calls out sweetly from the sitting room while Sophia who was packing up to retire her bed rushes out.

     "Sorry for the disturbance oh but Mary just called me complaining about how her body always aches and since her hus b had travelled she had no one to care of her. Here.....

      She gives her a cellophane nylon full of packages and drugs.
   " Take, give this to her and i know she would be very much grateful" Racheal smiles at her.

      "Don't be late oh cos you can see the time it is past 11 ok" Racheal says

      "Ok Aunt i won't" Sophia said before exiting the building.

" Good girl"

     Mary's house is quite distanced from theirs.
 

   Sophia walked through the lonely road hoping she would soon get to the busy road which was about to come to reality.

   As Sophia was about to exit the lonely road to the busy road where in turn she meet's Mary's house. She got surrounded and was about to scream for help when they drugged her with a handkerchief through her nostrils before she knew it everything went blur then blank.

*********************************

Sophia's eyes fluttered open, her mind foggy, her body aching all over. She was in a dark room, surrounded by the stench of mold and decay. The air was thick with the scent of despair. A gentle voice whispered in her ear, "Hey, are you okay?"

Sophia's heart skipped a beat as she turned to face the speaker. It was a lady, her eyes sunken, her skin pale, her hair matted with dirt.

"My name is Nneoma but you can call me Rose if it pleases you," the lady said, her voice barely above a whisper. "I've been here for two years. What about you?it's actually my first seeing you around. "

Sophia's eyes widened in horror. "Two years? What is this place? Why are we here?"

Nneoma's eyes dropped, her voice cracking. "We're prisoners, Sophia. Human trafficking victims. We're nothing but commodities to them."
       Sophia could only gasp, she felt like she has been punched in the gut she couldn't breathe °How the hell did i get here? °She thought to herself as the memory of what happened earlier banged her.
      "Don't think too much ok before you'll get a heartattack and by the way what's your name" Rose says with a smile that Sophia couldn't even believe her eyes, upon her current situation she look as hopeful and cheerful as ever.
        "I'm Sophia that's what everyone obviously calls me" Sophia introduced with a smile.

          "You see sophy the only thing that can make you survive here is braveness and if you don't have that, i'm sorry to say. You will become a dead meat before the end of the day" Rose says as she sees the fear in Sophia's eyes and she chuckles.

"I'm not doing this to scare you it's just for necessity" Rose said with a wide smile forming a smile on Sophia's face.

"You see Sophy, no one actually wanted to be here it's just circumstances that we find ourselves here. Most were sold by those they cherish the most but as time could have it.......... Goodnight see you tomorrow" Rose says and drift to sleep surprisingly making Sophia just chuckle but actually she couldn't sleep, Rose words kept ringing in her head.

★Most people were sold by those they cherished the most★

   The place was dead dark and cold nothing to just coverup.
 

She was trapped in a nightmare, a never-ending cycle of pain and suffering
            But Rose's words spark something within. She  felt a surge of anger, determination. She was not going to give up, not yet. She was going to fight, fight to survive, fight to make it through another day because she knows it won't last for long.
  "I won't give up" Sophia says drifting to sleep.
              °I won't let them break me°
