BE MY LOVE

CHAPTER 2

CASSANDRA'S POV

Hey, hey, hey, why will you say something like that?. No, am glad we met at that party. Am glad we fell in love. You are an amazing woman.

You are the best woman I have ever had. I am so glad we are together right now. So don't ever say that, ok?. I love you, he says and pecks my forehead.

I breath out heavily. Am sorry for saying that. It's just that.......

Shhh, baby please stop talking and just relax, ok?, he says.

Alright, I say smiling.

You always make me feel relieved, I say biting my lower lip. I peck him on the lip.

You do as well, he says smiling at me.
Ahhh!, we hear Mrs Loretta.Cry out loud.

What the, I say and we both quickly run to the room to see Miguel's mother dead in the pool of her own blood.

Mrs Loretta, I yell and rush to her.

Miguel stands there in shock.

Mum, mum, mum!!!, he yells and runs to his mother.

He holds her hand.

Please mum. Don't leave me. Please mum, mum please wake up!!!, he yells and begins to cry when he realizes that she is truly dead.

I start to cry as well begging Mrs Loretta to wake up despite knowing that she is dead.

Miguel and I both cry for hours.

Our naked body stained with Mrs. Blood.

There is a bullet hole on her forehead.
I cry harder.

I hear a noise beside me.

I turn to my left to see a man in all black pointing a gun to Miguel's head.
No please don't shoot. I beg you, don't, I say to the mysterious man.

Miguel stands up from his kneeling position and raises his hands up.

Now say your last prayer, the mysterious man says.

Please don't shoot him, I yell and run to the man.

I hold his arm and start begging him to not shoot Miguel.

The man slaps me on my right cheek and kicks me on my stomach making me fall to the ground. He moves back and then he........

No!!!, I yell. The next thing I hear are gunshots. He shoots Miguel. I watch in horror as he shoots Miguel ten times.

No, no, no!!!, I yell.

I wake up from sleep.

I breath heavily and look at my surroundings.

This is the hotel we came to and Miguel is beside me.

I sign in relief.

It was all a dream.

Then I remember Mrs Loretta.

Mrs Loretta, I whimper yell and rush to her room.

I see her sleeping peacefully.

I sign in relief again.

It was truly a dream. Am glad it is all a dream. I can't imagine my life without Miguel and his mother.

Baby what is it?. I saw you running to my mother's room. What's wrong?. Is anything wrong with my mum?, Miguel ask.

No nothing is wrong with your mum. But am not fine Miguel. I had a very terrible dream. Am scared Miguel, I say shaking.

Come here darling, he says patting his hand on his lap. I walk to him and sit on his lap.

What was the dream about?, he ask.

You and your mother died in my dream Miguel. Am so scared, I say and burst into tears.
