Victoria pov..
I tried to sat up but pains were unbearable .
" I have been meaning to ask you why am I the only one that can see you "
" I don't know "
" How did you died "
" My name is Martha Stewart ,I had a wonderful family everything was going very smoothly until one day , My mother in law sent me out to get something and before I know , I found myself here "
" Wait you mean you mother in law sold you to the slave establishment "
" Yes ..she did that woman , She sold everything my father gave me as my inheritance and sold me off to the slave establishment , And her son he ran into the arms of another woman "
" Oh my God that's bad , Am so sorry to hear that "
" You don't have to be sorry am dead now "
" Wait if through you are dead ,why ,I mean ...how was I able to see you "
" I guess you have a gift "
" Really "
" Yes " she nodded her head in agreement to my words
" Oh my God but I ....wait "
Suddenly my mind flashed back to what happened few days ago before I came to the slave establishment .
FLASH BACK ...
I could remember that evening my aunty send me to get some pumpkins from to garden so we could prepare lunch . suddenly I saw a young boy sitting at the corner of our house .
" What are you doing here "
He turned to look around to be sure ,I wasn't talking to someone else ,then he pointed to himself .
" Are you talking to me "
The little boy was shocked , stood up and walked up to me .
" Can you see me ".
" Yes I can, Why do you ask "
" You mean you can see me "
" Off course I can , What are doing here alone "
" Am happy someone can finally see me please I want you to help me talk to my mother , Tell her that shouldn't kill herself over what happened to me "
" If you want someone to help you talk to your mother then go do it yourself , I have to go now ,I have important things to do "
" Wait please ..you have to help me ,I mean you are the only one that can help me please "
" Stop following me around ,I can't help you, Why don't you understand "
" Please you have to help please "
I stopped in my track and turned to look at him .
" Tell me why you can't go to meet her yourself , Did you do something wrong , Don't worry she wouldn't hit you,I sometimes behaved like you but my mother wasn't that mad at me ,so just go to her and explain yourself okay"
I turned to look at the little boy standing behind me , With the look on his face one could tell that he wasn't happy .
" Why are you sad , Come on she would kill you after all she's your mother "
He bow his head to the ground and kept playing with the sand Infront if him .
" My mother can't see me '
" What do you mean , Your mother can't see you "
" Its because I..I..am ...." Before he could finish his statement ,Alice called out to me from behind .
' Victoria .. Victoria what the hell are you doing over there , Mama have been waiting for you but you are here talking to yourself "
" Am not talking to myself am talking to my friend Paul his right behind you "
" Huh...are you normal ,what do you mean. that his right behind me "
" Can you see Alice ,don't tell me you are blind" I kept picking up the pumpkins and putting them in the bucket , When I was done picking them I dust my hands and turned to look at Alice ,she kept staring at me as if she just saw a ghost .
" Why are staring at me like that Alice '
" I think you must have gone mad . You are talking to yourself do you know what that means ,don't tell me you have started talking to imaginary people again "
" Ah..I hate it when you accuse me wrongly Alice ,look behind you his standing there "
" I don't see any one Victoria , And stop talking nonsense you are making me scared "
" Am not sister please be stop talking nonsense "
At that point ,I became scared I turned to look at the little boy ,then he looked back at me with a sad face .
" She can't see me Victoria , You alone can "
" Wait you mean you are ...you...."
" Yes I am "
" What ...."
" What the hell is wrong with you "
" Nothing Alice am fine "
" Victoria you are not fine ,I mean how can a grown up woman keep talking to herself you are crazy "
I quickly walked pass her and went back into the house .
PRESENT DAY...
"I could remember seeing a Ghost , when I was still leaving with my aunty and niece "
" You see I told you , You are gifted "
" Really .."
" For how long have you been dead "
" Twenty years now "
" What ..You mean you have been dead even before I was born "
" Yes , But am happy that you can see me , At a point ,I was worried I felt maybe staying here was a waste but am happy now that I have someone to chat with before you are sold "
" I don't want to get sold am scared ".
" You shouldn't been my dear ,who knows ,you might be sold to a vampire or to werewolf or to witch ,the only thing you have to do right now is to pray that none of this creatures come for you "
" Why do you say so "
" You might be their blood bank ,they feed on you whenever they want and when they get tired ,they throw you away "
" Oh my God ...what should I do "
" Nothing Victoria just embrace your fate "
" I don't want this type if fate "
We were still in the middle of our conversation when suddenly to guards walked up to my cell and opened it then stepped in .
" Who are talking to "
' Oh my God this is not good ,"I murmured to myself "No one am just thinking out loud "
" Good for you ,stand up lets go "
" Where are we going too '
"No don't ask questions girl move it "
The other guards ,yanked me up from the ground and dragged me out if the cell .
" Wait where are we going ..please tell me "
" I got no reply from them , suddenly we arrived at the entrance of the cage and I saw twenty of the slaves gathered together ,a man was standing in front of them counting them , Immediately he stopped at twenty the guard holding me pushed me towards him .
" Add this to the number you have "
" Okay , Twenty one ,he said "
Let's go before the slave trade starts , They quickly pulled us into a an iron cage and rode us out if the slave establishment .
