I looked at the crowd before me, thousands had gathered but there was a difference, some of the people were bent down, their heads Infront of a wooden guillotine while men wearing a uniform stood beside them.
Their blades sharp as diamond s.h.i.+nned against the white sky that hovered over us, chanting a prayer as the voices were in sync.
I took a look at my situation, but from my place I stood before them at a certain height. It was a large arena, probably on the top of a mountain as my vision was blurred with the white clouds that seemingly wrapped us in a cold climate.
As I concentrated my eyes on the people who were chained down, I realized they were all women, girls of different ages s.h.i.+vering and lifeless, their bones sticking out. This was the group that was kidnapping people.
My fear started growing because being chained up amongst them meant that I would be in their situation soon.
' We shall summon the G.o.d's prophecy' a woman screamed few feet away from me. Her hair white as snow, she wore a black fur against her body holding onto a golden sword.
She turned her eyes towards me, her red eyes torturing my very soul, I felt compelled to obey her, she looked like an old woman, barely having any strength but her eyes wielded the power she required for her subordinates to obey her.
' bring me her blood' she said to the man who was standing near her as one of her guards. I was scared witless and I knew my end was coming as the man came up to me with a sword.
I shut my eyes tight only to imagine Blake's smile, a pain traveled up my spine and I found myself opening my eyes again. I was not dead?
My wrist was cut, my blood which dripped along my lean wrists flowed to the cup he rested below.
I knew this was a sacrificial ceremony and one way or another I wasn't going to live this place alive.
He went back to the women giving her the cup, chanting a script which was laid before her.
' shall we be revived' she said drinking my blood and it was magic.
Her white hair turned black, the wrinkles over her body vanished and she looked younger like a 20-year-old child.
All the guards were astonished to see her magically turn her age back and on with what, my blood. Who was I? Do I possess any supernatural power….no I am human, my mind kept conflicting.
She came towards me, It was still unbelievable how she turned young, I kept convincing myself that my eyes were deceiving me but I couldn't.
As much as I wanted to ignore what had just happened, she stood before me like a living proof. The strength In me receding even more as I had just lost blood.
' so you are her daughter' she exclaimed with a smirk
' Whose daughter?' I asked, what was she saying…..was it my mother? Does my father know? So many questions kept going through my mind.
' oh you don't remember, I wonder what Lisa would tell looking at you like this?' she said snickering. Lisa wasn't my mother's name. who was she? Was she someone I knew? I tried recalling but I couldn't.
My face evident that I dint know what she was talking about.
' oh dear, I feel bad for you' she said…. ' Dying without knowing who your real mother was?' and there was a surge of angler developing inside me.
' what are you talking about?' I shouted but it came out as a whisper.
' well I guess, she hid you well, since I could only find you after 13 years' she spoke as a matter of fact.
' Since you are dying anyway, why don't I let you on a secret?' she said and I looked at her sinister smile.
' I was the one who killed your mother' she said laughing loudly as the sky resonated along with her.
