Suddenly His

chapter thirty four

"What do you mean by who am l..??"

Panic and fear was written all over the strange woman's face...she tried to take my hand into her's..but I shrieked and scrambled further back into the the soft bed..

"I said who are you,???...."

She attempted to touch me but l flinched like in pain and pulled the duvet up to my chest...crumbling the material in my fist...holding lt like an anchor and shaking like a convulsion patient...l was so scared...the woman looked at the other side of the bed...following her line of sight that's when l notice two strange men...one looked like he was ready to tear me alive limb by limb...

l whimpered as l pulled the duvet higher as lf It was a shield...the other one had fear in his eyes but he smiled as soon as l looked at him..he nodded at the woman like they were having a silent conversation... My eyes involuntarily went to the first man and he smiled...the kind of smile a killer gave his helpless victim when they try to beg...I shuddered and pulled further into the bed till my back hit the headboard...

l held the duvet tighter as the woman raised her hands in a sign of peace and then she approached me slowly... From the corner of my eyes l can see both men leaving the room..the second man was pulling the first by his shirt out of the room...

"Honey how are you feeling..??"

"Who are you please...l am confused"

"I am your mother dear..."

   I had a mother...why couldn't l remember her..l try strain my brain for memories of her but l came out blank..lt was like l had been giving amnestic and Now l had amnesia..but l just couldn't be sure of anything.....lt was like my memories were blocked..like a blank slate l had nothing..l tried harder practically forcing my brain to respond but then pain like no other shot through me...my head was hurting like crazy..l hissed at the pain..

"Don't try too hard dear"

I nodded but my mind was telling me to be careful with the woman and my heart was telling me that l was safe with her...how can someone be dangerous to your rational side and safe to your emotional side...l was more confused..nothing seems to be helping..nothing seems to be going right..nothing seems to be okay...

"Honey..just lie down... Try to get some quality rest"

I nodded as l slid a little lower and put my head on the pillow...she pulled the duvet up for me and tried to kiss me but l pulled back... She frowned but lt was immediately replaced by a smile...

"Okay honey...try to rest"
She was almost at the door and l started feeling lonely..I felt like l was drowning in a well alone and l suddenly couldn't breathe... Clearly l was too scared to be alone..

"Please don't go...don't leave me..l feel so scared and lonely"

She stopped moving some where in my speech but l didn't register that...l had started crying soaking the pillow with my tears..she turned slowly as l snuffle in an attempt to stop crying... But as soon as she sees my tears..she rushes back to my side..she sits  beside me on the bed and wipes my tears away...

"Am here princess..don't cry..am not leaving"

Why does lt feel strange hearing princess come from her mouth..It was like she wasn't suppose to call me that...It felt wrong on so many strange levels to me but l didn't comment..maybe lts just my imagination...maybe am just feeling strange things that wasn't right...but l wanted to know some basic things..

"What's my name"

"Avaline hastings"

"That's a pretty name..."

The woman smiled as tears rolled down her face...she cupped her mouth to muffle the sound of her crying...

"What's wrong..??"

I was genuinely confused...was It what l said...but l hadly said anything...l only asked about my name..she suddenly pulled my up into a very tight hug...what was wrong with the woman...she started talking to my back as l tried to calm her down..rubbing my palm on her back..rubbing up and down...thou l couldn't hear much because her crying  was blocking the sound but l managed to pick this up..

"Am so sorry Ava...we didn't mean for this to happen...oh my GOD..what have we done...we just wanted you to stop resisting..we are so sorry ...l almost lost you...we have been selfish... Our own flesh and blood...am sorry...please forgive me..."

She suddenly pulled back as she regarded me with tear stained eyes...

"Say you forgive me and your papa...we just wanted the best for you"

What was this woman going on and on about...l couldn't care less thou l think It concerns me...guilt was all over her face...l bet it was killing her already...so l tried to console her...as she pulled me back for another hug ...

"I forgive you both"

She stiffens against me...l panicked..did l say the wrong thing...was she angry...but before l could come up with another  reply or apology... She pulled my back and started raining kisses on me...kissing my cheeks...my eyes...my ears..my fore head...l don't think l have ever felt this awkward.. Even lf l can't remember much..l am sure l wouldn't let someone kiss me like that...well maybe except my mother..but the fact is...l don't know so l can't trust anyone yet...but why did l feel like l had made a huge mistake ...

Its just my imagination...

We smiled at each other as l rested on the bed and she pulls the blanket till It covered me well...I fisted the blanket..as l looked at the woman..she took my hand into her

"How do you feel now..??"

"Not much better..l think l need to sleep "

"Don't worry about anything...just go to sleep"

I smile as she rubs circles on my hand..

"Can you tell me how this happened..??"

"Sure..but not today.."

She smiles down at me as l succumb to the cold controlling hand of sleep..and drifted away.....
