Even though I didn't want to do that, but it was obligatory. My fellows forced me to kill. To kill a professor that works in a police station. I found it impossible for me to kill, neither to hold a gun! My fellows, who consisted of criminals and murderes, led me inside his house.
As i walked toward the stairs, fear couldn't leave my heart. It was dark, and silence was covering the place, that i was able to hear my footsteps. In a sudden while i was climbing the stairs... I slipped. The moment I got up I heard noises in the professor's room. I was stunned and didn't know what to do.
Instead of runing away and hide in a safe place, I entered that room and held the gun tightly toward the victim. But there was no one in thier!! In a matter of second, I felt a hand over my mouth and a gun across my neck! It was him, the professor. My gun fell down on the floor. I was busted! There was no rescue from my fellows, instead they ran away. Couple of minutes later the police came and caught me...After so many investigations, I was going to be taken to prison for three years.
The gates opened as I entered with my hands tight in hard solid chain. Beside me there were two huge guard men grabing my arms.
'I'm not a murderer, and I shouldn't be here', I thought, as tears fell on my cheaks.There were two huge buildings; one for men and the other was for women. As we walked through the yard taking me to the room i was supposed to live in, everyone looked at me as if I'm guilty. Except one...
Yes, that guy in the corner, his eyes were saying different words toward me.
I have been told that two other women were sharing me the room. There were three beds and beside each bed there was a table. At the end of the room there was a huge closet divided into three parts. Also there were two huge windows beside each other. I could see the other building through them.
The door opened and two young women came in. They asked me if I was the one going to be the third roommate. As I nodded, one of them came and pushed me on one of the beds telling me that this was the bed I was going to take. The bed was beside the window and one of its legs was about to be broken. The other women asked me about my name and how I ended up here in prison.
"My name is Jazmine Alfred, I'm about to become 19 years old and I came here because I tried to kill am inportant professor in the police station."
She came near me and we shook hands and told me that her name was Elena and the other was called Patricia. She wasn't really shaking my hand; she was more like squeezing it. They both laughed and went outside leaving me alone in the room.'How I'm going to live with them in one room,' I thought. I unpacked my things and placed a picture of my father, brother and me on the desk beside my bed. Cleaning my bed, I saw a shadow of a person behind the curtains at the other building. The scane wasn't clear enough to see whether the person was looking in my direction or not, but the moment I saw him the shadow has disappeared. I closed the curtains and took a nape.
My soul had returned to my body on the sound of alert!! I walk up and directly looked at the clock. It was 5:00 AM. I saw Elena and Patricia had dressed up and heading straight toward the door. Before going, Patricia said, " Don't think you're going to sleep till ten or twelve! You are a prisoner and you have much work to do right now!"
'Work!! What work could be done at 5:00 AM.' I wondered. I just went out of bed, got dressed and went to the basment of our biulding.
One of the gaurds slapped me on my back telling me to continue working.
"Awwww! I'm new here okay! And I don't know exactly what to do!" I answered her.
"Well then go take a brush from that drawer and go the bathroom right there start cleaning it!" She shouted at me.It was the most disgusting bathroom I've ever seen. "Am I dealing with blind people here? At least blinds do know the right place to pussy in!!" I doubted.
"It's always been like that. They do this on purpse just to get us more repulsive work to do," a voice came from one of the dark corners. Then a young lady appeared.
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect to find anyone else her that's why I spoke in a little bit loud voice," I replied.
"It seems that you've never been in prison before right?" She asked.
"Umm no, never. It's the first time."
"Too bad, by the way, I am Daisy Joseph, your bathroom mate, okay just kidding," She laughed.I introduced myself to her as we shook hands. Daisy was pretty nice girl having tan skin, hazel eyes with wavy brown hair.
She started telling me about the rules in there and the way we must behave as presinors. She told me that she had been two years in here so she got used to it.
The time passed and it was 12:00 PM resting time. Everyone of us went on there way.
I went to the yard were everybody gather. It has a big space there. Food was ordered there, many tables, chairs, benches. I ordered food and juice then sat on a bench.
I was looking all around me when I saw him. The same guy i saw when I first came here. He was sitting with group of young men laughing. But It seems that he wasn't giving them any attention. Instead, he was just looking at me! He seems to me that he is a bad guy, from his look and cloth. He had dark black hair and white skin with a tattoo on his left arm.
"Feeling lonely?" A voice from behind had disturbed my thoughts. It was Daisy. She came and sat with me around the table.
"Two more days and you will get used to this life, Jaz."
"I don't want to get used to this! I just want to go out. This isn't a place for me, I don't deserve to be here." I was about to cry but i didn't.
"Well if you don't deserve it so why you are here then?"
"Forget it, it's a long story," trying to end up the conversation.
"Listen, everybody came here for a reason. Me for exampl, I used to live with my uncle who taught me how to steal. He wanted me to be just like him. And I was caught stealing from an assosiation. When I came here at the begining I thought just like you. I used to say that it's not my fault that my uncle taught me how to steal. But then when I thought about it deep inside I knew that I deserve to be put in jail since I agreed for what my uncle taught me to do instead of refusing to do bad things."
"Okay! I admit that I was caught trying to kill that man out there but I was forced to do it. I was scared from the group I worked for. They kill people! I burly know how to hold a knife." As I stopped talking a guy called for Daisy and he came to us.
"Hey babe, I searched for you everywhere." He gave her a kiss on her cheek.
"I met a new friend of mine, Jazmine," She introduced me to him.
"Nice to meet you Jaz, I'm Albert."
He sat down beside Daisy and hugged her.
"Albert is the only love I had and will have," Daisy said as she gave him a kiss on his lips.
A weak passed and I had lots of work to do each day. I got to know Daisy and Albert more, they were the only people I knew there other than my two ugly roommates. Each night when I'm in bed they make fun of my and doing some traps for me. That guy who I learn nothing about him was still following me where ever I go, and before I sleep I see him from the window behind the curtains looking at me as I go asleep.One afternoon while Daisy and me were sitting around a table I told her about him. About how he looks at me and how he always follow me. When she asked me who is he and I told her where he was sitting she shouted!
"You mean Jace!!!" Pointing at him as he looked directly towards us. He knew we were talking about him.
"I don't know what's his name but yes it's him. And he is looking at us since he heard you so please low down your voice, and finger!" I wispered in her ear.
"Jazmine, you must not go near that guy, he is an enemy do you understand. Ignore him as much as you can meanwhile we can find him a solution."
"Who is he?" I asked, as he was still looking toward us.
"Come with me, Albert knows how to shut him down!" She grabbed my hand leading me to Albert's room.
We went to Albert and Daisy told him about that guy called Jace and he felt so angry the minute she said his name. I didn't know why they are doing this and who is he!
"Please someone explain to me what's happening here. Who is Jace?" I finally asked.
"Jace is a killer!" Albert replied.
"What?! Are you serious? Everybody here is a killer. If they are not then why they are here!?"
"No Jazmine, Jace is different to us, me and Albert," Daisy looked at Albert and put her hand on his lap then continued, "He Killed Albert's Brother..." Then everyone of us kept silence for couple of seconds.
Daisy told me more about Jace and what he always had to do with girls. He used to attrack girls, sleep with them and then let go as if he didn't even know them. She also told me the story of how Albert's brother died.
We sat for an hour talking about Jace and then I went to the other building to get some rest.
As I walked through the building toward the stairs I felt someone following me but when I turned around there was no one behind.
