She Guardian (#Wattys2016)

Rebirth

Its like a blood river on the floor, feet soaked in. there lies his body, she is standing there with anger, shock and pain on her face. What could have happened? she wonder. Tears start coming out as she kneel and hold his lifeless body."we always loose the ones we love most" she whispered, "I love you, I will find whoever did this to you, to us". As she wipe tears, she leave blood all over her face. its tragic, she doesn't know where to start. She lay beside him, her head on his bloody chest.

Then a hard hitting thought came-her baby, where is her baby? her husband was supposed to pick her up from school. She look all over the house, she is not there, but wait, the bathroom! hoping for the best,"Amy baby, are you in here?" she calls as she walks in slowly. her worst nightmare, its like a scene from wrong turn. her little baby's life has been robbed as well. She sits in the bathtub, running water trying to drown herself. She see no purpose of going on with life without her young beautiful family.

As she start gasping for air, she see images of her man and child, not approving her decision. "Mummy don't hurt yourself" "you have to get justice for us" she heard her child's voice like in a dream. She gets out of the tub, full of purpose, to find those who destroyed her family. There is a knock on the door-"police! open up" "go go go" the voices on the door, they break the door down and see the man's body on the bloody floor."man down, I repeat man down requesting ambulance immediately" the policeman said on his radio

She was happy to hear its people from the right side of the law, a sigh of relief. As she get out of the bathroom, a special forces team pointing guns at her. "put your hands up" "hands in the air" they kept shouting. she was shocked but thinking is procedure she do as they say. "down on the ground" as they rush to her, she is cuffed. "in here" shouts the policeman who went to the bathroom. "you are in deep trouble" one of them said to her. "what? Am I in trouble? for what?"

she is in an interrogation room, a detective is there with her."its either you tell me the truth now or you can save it for the judge, either way you are going to jail" he said. she wanted to say something, but she already said all the truth she know. she was in a taichi and yoga class, and when she gets home it was a blood bath. But no one believes her, they all think she did it, they think she killed her husband and daughter

A prison transfer van leaves the police station, escorted by two police cars. she looks at everyone she is in the van with and think to herself,"I don't belong here". An hour on the road, just after a railway bridge, The van is hit by a truck and run off road. There is gunfire as we see the prisoners fear for their lives. The van's doors are open, the gunman take one man and leave. "what happened?" "what now?" they asked each other. One scary guy retrieve a key from the dead guard and unlocked his cuffs, "I'm gone, you do what you will, but a word about this and I'm coming for all of you" he said pointing with his nasty fingers. The others also followed suit and leave, she is now alone, With the dead driver and guard. "they think I killed my family, if they find me here they will think I killed these two men" she thinks. She unlocked the cuffs and run off

Deep in the city night, police sirens far in the distance, cats running pass the streets. She is there in a nearby alley. Bit cold, scared, lonely and traumatised. Its the worst day of her life, she lost the people she love most, and lost her freedom as well. Tears down her cheeks, but she tries to be strong. "help, someone help me. Please don't hurt me ah!" she hear that from a distance. without even thinking she follows the screams, She find two men with knives, torturing another man demanding his belongings. "leave him alone" she said, the two men bust in laughter. they ignore her and continue robbing the guy. "I said leave him alone" she say walking to them. one of them meet her halfway, he tries to hold her but she kicks him to the ground. "so you think you are tough huh?" he says getting up

He gets beat down again and again, he manage to cut her arm before she stab his chest with his own knife. the other thug stab the guy they were robbing in anger, and turn his attention to her. He is a much better fighter, leaving a wound on her lower abdomen before she break his neck. She runs to the robbed guy, he is still alive. He was wearing beads on his neck and wrists, red and white just like her traditional healer grandmother used to. "Are you OK?"she ask, trying to assess his wound. "I'm alright, you are hurt, why are you risking your life for me?" he asks,"I don't know, its like I was drawn to help you". "My pocket" he say, but she don't get him and he can't move his hands. "Check my pocket" as he realised she don't understand. She search his pockets and finds a small box with ancient markings, she remember seeing them at work. "Take it, its yours" "what is it?" "its a guardian stone, its priceless, I was told a guardian would find it before my life ends, you will see the evil in this world more clear, and you will have the power to fight and defeat it" the guy dies in her arms, she is broken once more, but she is too in pain, spiritually, mentally and now physically. She lost too much blood, she opens the small box while standing up but she falls and knocks off..Heart stops beating.

And then, the stone start to glow..her whole body glows now. The stone melts into her, her wounds heal, scars fade, heart start beating, she feels strengthened, her eyes open, she is alive. she has a new life and a renewed purpose, to get justice not only for herself and her family, but for the universe, Alive again to be a guardian
