"Stop the car, you animal!" Thrash him without minding that he was controlling the steering wheel.
"Shut up!" Gave her a slap that she past out.
He continues driving till he crossed Yashilan border without realizing it, and branched off on to the gravel road to a place he doesn't know.
After driving a long miles, Brianna finally got up with a shout, "mum!" She saw her cry in her lying unconscious.
"Take me back home, I need to go, my mother needs me!"
She got hold of the steer wheel, Gabriel struggling to stop her, while concentrating ahead to avoid an accident. Sadly the car lost control, got out of the road into the bush and hit a big tree ahead. Part of it branch came flying down and landed on top of the Jeep with great force.
It was quiet for a while. smock from the car filled the air. Gabby begin to cough continuously with the smock coming from the car. He tries to open the door for fresh air, but it was stuck. The fallen branch closed the door from outside and so there was no way out.
He continued coughing and blowing smoke out, then he realize he was the only one coughing from smoke. With weak eyes, he looked at Brianna who lean her head unconsciously at the sideway. He had to do something about it before she remained unconscious for good, so he grabbed a bottle of wine down next from the gear and break the front mirror which break in crystals.
In few seconds he was Carry her in his arms and layed her down on fallen leaves.
"Brianna wake up." Tapping on her cheeks, while supporting the back of her head with his palm. "Hey I need you here with me to find our way out!" Another tappings, but no single respond from her.
The sky is covered with dirk clouds, a might thunder roared and lightening flashed. He looked up the sky which seem to break at any moment. A drop of rain lands on her beautiful nose, panic grow in him, thinking of where they will go.
"Brianna, open up, storm is about to start."
Heavy rain break out suddenly, within seconds their clothes were wet. He spots a curve from ahead, so he lift heavy Brianna like a weightless paper and run with her into the curve. He continued trying to make her open her eyes, but still she remained silent. Now he is furious, "Fine Brianna, I'm sorry! I know my face irritates you and that you don't want to see me, fine do as you want! If you like, don't wake up! "He said all these in furious, but then realized, he still need her. Again he get back on his feet crying When he saw the curve flooding. "Please Brianna, if you can't do it for me, then do it for your dear mother, please." He lean his forehead against hers as he cried.
"What do you want me to do, Bri, please."
The flood has swallowed her feet to the knees, already from where she was lying. He carried her again to a slop party in the same curve then he screamed, "Help me please!!!!!" Holding her so close to his heart
His voice, calling for help reached a fortune teller who was sowing with his grand son, not so far from the curve. "I hear someone in need of our help." He stopped, staring.
"I can't hear anything, grandpa."
"Come on, we need to help them."Taking an East direction as his grandson in his 20s following behind.
The voice rad him till to the curve. As Soon as Gabby saw them entering the curve, he felt relief. "Please, help."
"What happened to her?" Asked grandson.
Grandpa already knew what happened, so he didn't ask, only reached for her pause. "She's arrive." Paul, plunk me those fig leaves."
Paul run as soon as possible and plunk the leaves in heavy rains. "Here grandpa."
Grandpa Yosef has never missed his concoction when making medicine for anybody. fig leaves are the most powerful herbs he use on Brianna's condition or worse and they come back to conscious within minutes. He did as usual rubbing the leaves, then squeezing the chlorophyll in her mouth. "Let's give her few minutes, she will be back to life."
How sure are you this things works, old man, because I don't believe in such things."
Yosef didn't reply. He hasn't uttered a single word since he came in. "Hey, don't you have a voice? say something to me!"
He acts this way, silent when working on strangers, until his herbs works.
He looked at his wrist watch and five minutes has passed, 10 minutes gone but nothing has happened. He rushed back again to feel her pause, but he couldn't feel it. Her body was cold, lifeless. He moved back trembling, this has never happened when he fails to heal a soul. His body continues to tremble as tears rolled down his cheeks.
Grace on the other side let go of the glass of water from her hand suddenly. Her heart beat changed, beating terribly.
"Brianna." He thought.
"Mum, are you ok?"
She turned a tearful eye towards her son. "Your sister. Your sister Daniel." She shiver even more.
"Sit down mum, Brianna is ok. She will be back to us very soon. " made her sit.
Manoah reported to her family, how the prince abducted Brianna with so much lies that caused Mrs Kumwenda to sue the royal household if Brianna won't be found in 24 hours.
Gabby run to the old man who was standing by the curve's entrance, in the rain, unable to believe that his herbs has failed him. " Old man do something, please!" Went on shacking him that maybe he might say something, but the man remained silent. He again run back screaming her name. "Brianna, please." Fell on his knees and lift her head and put his hands beneath to give her support. Feeling her cheeks, sorrowfully staring on her innocent face, tears kept falling down to her face, "Brianna, I it's sharing my breath with you, i don't mind. As long as you may like again. I love you, and this is the truth." Upon saying these last words, he plug his lips against Brianna's as though he is kissing her, but his lips weren't moving. For a little longer he remained that way, stuck on her lips.
Joseph wondering of what he was doing and so did Yosef. All of a sudden, Brianna cough out. Gabriel removed his lips away in tears of joy. This really shocked Yosef, all his life in his fortune telling and healing, he had never encounter such fate, the power of love as this before. Even though they are not in good temper and haven't realize the bond they share, the attraction force of love between them, is strong to even share breath.
Yosef came in and felt her pause, she was living again, though very weak to open eyes. with the order from Yosef, Gabriel carried Brianna in his arms until they reached yosef's compound. Seeing with him, strangers, one carried unconscious, the men hurried to help take her inside. To these villagers, strangers are to be treated with kindness, except if they came with bad motives.
Gabby remained outside standing hopelessly with his wet clothes, until he was called in. He is always stubborn, so he demanded to be taken to a room they took Brianna, so he could be watching over her until she wakes up. He refused even to change clothes. They took him to that same room where she was and he sit on the chair beside the bed.
Today marks the third day since the prince disappeared with Brianna. Chaos broke out in Yashilan capital as the people protest for Brianna's return. Smell of teargas polluting the hair as the police are trying very hard to prevent the mob from attacking the castle. They broking the road leading to the castle with tires on fire, with machetes. Some are gathered at the castle, throwing stones. The royal family didn't know what to do about this issue, ministers have tried to talk to the people, but no one is ready to listen to anything, except having Brianna back. journalists are doing their jobs, televising the current situation of Yashilan. The king with his son and wife are watching on TV, what is happening outside his huge castle.
"I have to address the mob, father. You stay inside, you are not well to attend to such matters."
"But son, the people are not ready to listen. I'm afraid they might stone you." The queen, hold him back.
"Your mother is right, son."
"They won't stop unless they hear from us, that's all they want."
"What will you tell them when non of our searching soldiers have brought us any news, from their searching tour?" The king asked him.
Gabriel remained silent for a moment.
"Let us wait until this evening, if no news from them, then we don't know what to do next."
Today is the day princess Hellena, king yachi's only young sister is coming back to settle with him with her son and husband. They lost everything they had in USA from robbers. They forgot to inform them about the chaos and so they made their way to the kingdom.
Maiden came running with the king's cell phone with 20 missed calls from Helena. 'Your majesty, you have 20 missed calls from princess Helena."
"Oh no, I forgot to inform her not to come. Give it to me."
He pressed on her number, but there was no answer.
Helena is a very impatient woman and rude with no regards to humans with low status. She installed this character in Gabriel, but her son followed his father's path, kind and generous. They arrived at the castle, only to find a mob covering the entrance, wanting to break in.
"What is happening on my father's castle?"
"Who are you woman?" One man from the mob asked.
"Can you give way, we want to get in and get your filthy selves out from here."
The entire mob shift their anger to her and started harassing them.
"Get away from me you, savages!"
The cops came for their aid, just on time and helped them in.
Helena enters the castle cleaning herself and shouting furious.
"My dear sister, are you ok? Did they hurt you?"
"They almost, if not for the cops prompt intervention, I don't know what could have happened to us. "
Anyway, what's going on? Why is this chaos?"
The three looked at each other and remained silent.
"Welcome, Helena, Mr Mandela, Tumelo, welcome home."
"Thank, you Essa." She said with a rude attitude towards her, as ever. " Hey, can you tell me what's happening?" Asking the king again. The king decides to answer her with a question, knowing his sister very well.
"How did you raise Gabriel?"
"How you mean?"
"He is the reason for what is happening today."
She's astonished, and now interested in hearing more, so she sit beside him. "How, your majesty?"
"He abduct a girl, according to the report that came to us." Answered the queen.
Mr Mandela and Tumelo, sighed.
"Oh Gabby, he will never change." Tumelo pass a comment.
The king was now furious , he raise up. "Is this the life he lived in the United States?"
They all remained silent, knowing for sure he was worse than now.
"Gabby is always causing trouble. Is this how you lived with him?" Lawrence asked.
Helena has always covering up for his crime Even he is the reason for their down fall. The group of gangs he involved himself in, robbed his family after he left, in revenging for his crimes against them.
"Of course he was a good boy. Why would you think he must lived such a life?"
Helena loved her nephew more than his son because of a good character in him.
"Oh, is that why they are protesting? Come on brother, you are in power. Put those savages to a place they belong.
"Sis in law, things doesn't work like that here. Our citizens Deserve respect, too."
She Chuckled, "Poor Essa, I thought you have changed, after living a life of a queen for this long. You her still a pulper in mind."
"Helena!" The king Scolded her. You haven't changed as well. Do not forget she's the queen of this land, you are talking to, this way. Go to your room, the maidens have already prepared it for you."
She walked up majestic as though everything was ok. Beside her bad character, she is also selfish and always want things to be happening as she wants and in her favor.
