Bab 203: Of Twisted Realities

[GREYSON]

With Hawi gone after Mbali, Malika stood at the memorial site while Rukiya sat as she watched the mess that had unfolded. This time she had heard it right, Mbali had mentioned that her mother was the one Hawi was protecting her from. 

It was cruel and Rukiya wanted to ask for more information. 

She had so many questions, really especially how she had come to be alive when she had been stabbed. Hell, she wanted to know why the entire Greyson was in mourning and she could feel their pain, not to mention hear their cries. 

It was a heartfelt moment but then Rukiya was alive and confused. The blade had pierced her heart and she felt it stop. She had felt every ounce of the pain that came with it, and the poison she was sure was laced with j, so what was this? 

Maybe Mbali was right and she was a ghost? Damn, Rukiya wouldn't think straight, so she shook her head as if to shake the thoughts away, but was that supposed to work?
