章 30: We're going home

#diary of a bitch

Everywhere was dark,I started up my journey to the light at the extreme end of wherever I was, I had a feeling it was going to be blissful from there onwards, I was happy to be going to a place where there wouldn't be pain and stress and all gruesome emotions that there is, somehow I didn't feel the pain that sent me to this place anymore. I was almost at the end when I felt someone grab my hand, I was shocked someone else was with me on this journey. I struggled to break free but that person was way stronger than I am.

"Listen to me Vivian". The person was even a woman

Me: what do you want from me?

" vengeance "

"huh?!"

"I know you don't know me and my request is rather ambiguous, but trust me, that's not where you're meant to be,you have to go back and put an end to everything Susan started. Take back everything that's meant for you, and avenge my death"

Me: wait what?, who are you

mystery woman: *sighs* I'm Leah, and I don't have the time to explain whatsoever you want to ask but you need to go back

"I don't want to go"

"you have to,you're not alone this time,I'll be with you". The way she kept staring at me surreptitiously didn't make want to trust her, after what seemed like ages, I finally agreed to go back.

**************

I didn't know how long it took but when I regained consciousness, My eyes felt like lead was tied to them,I struggled to open them and was blinded by the brightness of day. I looked around and everyone was in white,"is this heaven?", I thought to myself I started to kick all of the "chains" bounding me to a "pole" and I felt I slightly sharp pain before going totally numb again

I guessed I woke up hours after,I still couldn't see clearly and my brain was trying hard to process whatever was going on in the room I'm in

I couldn't really make out whatever happened after the gunshot and the blackout though and that dream seemed so real, well it was not a surprise as I've been through bizarre things in recent happenings.

I struggled to remember but it was useless,no matter how much I tried I couldn't remember anything but BETRAYAL.

I wasn't able to move my right arm though, it was where the bullet penetrated

When I was sure I wasn't in heaven but in an hospital, and the 'chains' were just drips I called hoarsely for the doctor.

A pretty lady in white came over to check up on my bandages and rushed out to call the doctor.

I felt very thirsty, I tried to reach the cup of water from the bedside table when a handsome man walked in with a bag full of fruits and medications,I dropped my mouth open as he flashed me a warm smile,he asked how I was and I snapped out of my daze

Mystery man: don't be scared,I rescued you from thugs and brought you over here,you're safe with me.....,I'm Henry......you've been unconscious for weeks now..... The doctor is getting the discharge papers ready...... I'm taking you home.

I wasn't paying attention until I heard the word 'home'

I tried speaking again but my weakness didn't give me the permission to. I could only shake my head to gesture that there's no way I'm going back to that hellhole with all types of demons and even the devil herself resided there. Maybe he was some sort of a soothe sayer or mind reader but somehow he understood why I was shaking my head violently and chuckled

Henry: I didn't mean your home,I meant your new home,our home

OK so things just got weird,our home?, is this guy in the right frame of mind?

Henry: I know you're wondering if I'm in the right frame of mind, I am actually. I deduced those people the other day were people you know right?

I nodded shamefully, but that still has nothing to do with 'our home'

Henry: Well,it's a pity you can't go back there for now,so you have to stay with me till you recover at least then we can both find who the father of your baby is

"What?!" my tied tongue loosened immediately

" That's right miss,you're two months gone"

"That's not possible, I.....I ....it can't be possible....". I guessed I couldn't process the latest bad news due to my weakness. I passed out again.
