Broken Walls

2.Another missing part

3 years later.........

" Happy birthday, my child."my mum said as she sat down beside me on my bed.

"Thanks, mum."

"I got you something. I know you are very cautious of time . Sooo...." she said as she brought something from behind her. It was a wrist watch.

"Here. I know you liked it since you kept on taking it  from my drawer when you were little."

"Thank you, mum. I .....I.....I dont know what to say. Thank you." I said as I hugged her.

"You are welcome,  my child. Now, I know that we cant have enough money to go to the cinema because of all the money and the company your dad worked hard for was taken from us by your dad's 'friends 'saying that he had debts to pay, but I went to a rental store and got a movie for us to watch and a bowl of ice cream."

"Thanks, mum. But you shouldn't have gone through all that trouble.  Knowing you are here with me is a perfect birthday on its on."

"My child, its your 13th birthday . I am meant to spoil you today but since I can't , I will do the little I can do. My child, you deserve the best."

" Thanks mum. You truly are the best." I said as I hugged her.

"You are welcome, my child."

"This movie seems interesting. " my mum said.

"That's because it is mum." I replied.

" Infinity war. Okay lets watch."

We were watching infinity war when I heard a sound like wood being hit.

" Mum, did you hear that?"

"Hear what?"

" The sound of something hitting a wooden object?"

" Maybe it was just the movie?"

" Maybe it was." I sigh then face the television.

Doom."mum, did you hear it?"

My mum looked at me then sighed,"Diana, please watch the movie? It might just be you ears deceiving you?"

"Okay, mum." I continue watching the movie when I heard another one.

DOOM. Louder than the first two,"Okay, mum. There's no way you didn't hear that one."

"Actually, I did hear it ."

I was about to get up when I heard the sound  of someone clapping.

" Well, well, well. Who do we have here. Jame's wife and child. I give james the credit of getting a high quality door took a while to break it."

With that I look at my mum. Who is this man anyway and how does he know my father.

"Marcus . What do you want?"

"REVENGE."

He said do hard that I thought I was gonna cry.

" Marcus,  please take whatever you want but leave my daughter out of this. "

"Oh..I dont want her. I just need you."

"Then take me."
I looked at my mother then ran to her,"No mother. Please. "

" I am sorry, my child but, this has to be done." She said.

"Adriana,  come."

My mother looked at me once more then left my side to meet marcus. Immediately I saw a gone targeted to her forehead.

" Say your last prayer, woman."

Before my mum could open her mouth he had already shot her.

"No!" I screamed then ran over to her.

"Mother,please don't leave me. "

"My child," she struggled to speak,"go. Stay with your......grand...ma. Take , my phone and go. And ...remember ...I love you and I am right here ....in your...heart."

"Child, be gone."Marcus yelled.

" Go my child. Go."

With tears in my eyes I kissed my mother's cheeks stood up from the floor and took my mother's phone with me. As I was about to leave,  marcus grabbed my wrist and said,
"Not a word about this to anyone.  If you say anything, I will kill your loved ones one ...by....one. Now leave."

With that I ran , ran far away from home to my grandma's house and with each step I didn't look back.
