GRACE.
I came out of the hall after the debriefing, Feeling like Shit.I wanted to vent but then that would mean venting on my self First.I am the reason why Today was hell on Nevilla.
Voice:(faintly) Grace.
I followed the direction immediately and saw two women at the pavement behind the hall way.They were supporting their Back with the pillar there.
Me:The Santana Widows.(Willow and Agnes)
I recognized them immediately i approached them. They were married to Twins and gave birth the same Day.they called it The Nevilla Miracle.Too bad they both lost their husband during the Great Operation drive them out Leed by the Chief Magistrate Who before i forget is also the High priestess and A Greendale.
Willow:Raymond says we can trust You.
I nodded instantly.
Agnes:do you want a pound of Flesh.
Don't know what they mean but i trust them so I nodded..
Willow:We are are going to The Fake Michigan house soon.
Agnes:The estimated time Before The high Priestess comes out of the inner Chamber is 3 hours we will make good use of that time.
Willow:Follow us.
I followed them deep into the farmland that surrounded the Oracle Base.We went in so deep,more deep that i have ever went Before.
What was standing before me, was five Black Oracles deep inside the bush, gathered in circles.i only Know the Santana Widows.
Willow:Welcome to the Resistance.
They led me in to the Circle they have already formed.
Agnes:The issue of rape did not start with Melinda but we Have always handled it discreetly..Melinda Case was an oversight If not it would not have reached the Priestess ear.
Willow:Here is the names of your Comrade.
Ist Oracle:I am Mitchell.
2nd Oracle:I am Lucy.
3rd Oracle:I am Veronica.
4th Oracle:I am Francisca.
5th Oracle:I am Vivian..
Willow:You can introduce your self to the Resistance..

Me:I Grace Trueborn Pledges my ultimate loyalty to the resistance i will die one, fight like one and win like one...
All of them:Yes!!!!
They all came and hugged me Tightly.I don't feel that much like Shit again.Now I have a purpose and thats all that matters...
MASON.
Where we took June, was in an abandoned house at the far end of Nevilla.A place that hold deep memory for me.We were all sitted in Circle outside the house we locked June in. It was late in the night and cold, so we made fire with firewood and surrounded it. we were sitted on top of a big log of wood that Gabby cut down from the Bush.
Me:Gabby bring her outside.She will sit with us tonight..
Gabby nodded and went into the house to bring her out.We were Warming an already roasted meat on the Fire and cutting it out bit by bit with knife..
Raymond:You sure bringing her out Is a good idea..
Me:she is of no use to us dead and besides this is 11pm its time to On her phone and call her People.Her presence is needed here as well.
Gabby came out,dragging her with him. Her hand was now tied to the front instead of her Back.he forced her to sit beside him opposite me.her head was bent,i can tell she was avoiding eye contact with me.
Me:tie up her leg instead and untie her hand. She needs her energy and to maintain that, she needs to eat.
He untied her hand and teid up her leg.I cut out a reasonable amount of meat and offered it to her. She was not looking up,so i called her by her name.
Me:June Take.
She raised up her head her eye meeting mine in the process They were so red..
Her:Am i coursed,first my mum, Now the Man I Love.
I swallowed my saliva hard upon hearing her say that. I suddenly felt very uneasy and perplexed my heart was pounding.I kept my cool still extending the meat to her but i know deep down what was happening to me..
Me:Trust me, you are of no use to anyone dead.
Would have averted my eyes from hers because it was so hard looking at them.but Fuck me,she looked hungry and that do not go down well with me. She collected the meat sarcastically after a long stare.
Her:The Mason that looked inside my eyes that day was in Love..
Gabby:listen young lady, i don't know what drug you are on, but this man right here have never been involved with a lady, talk more of being in Love.
Her:Ooooooh.
Out of no where, her very Terribly angry face started smiling. Don't know if i should be happy about it, but i was couscous of myself,would not want to give my team an odd vibe.
Her:I gotta admit i was pretty pissed a while ago but now I know why he was like That,i forgive him.
I Chuckled.
Her:Boy does not know he is in Love.
As funny as she sounded to my team right now. I still think about the kiss Earlier.Maybe its because it was my First.
Me:Raymond,switch on her phone and call the Mother.
Hwr:don' bother,she don't even call me Daughter.
Raymond ignored her and called her mum after her phone has finished booting.The phone ranged one time and she picked raising up her voice immediately.
Her:June why did you decieve your security detail and ran off with those drug hoodlums again.You want to bring an end to my political career June.Last time it was about them catching you on camera doing dope exactly what forced my hand to release that Jason boy now this!.
She was so fast Raymond could not even talk.
Me:Cut the call.
He did.
Tears was emanating slowly from June's eye.
Her:your daughter left home and it's almost 12 midnight you ain't worried about her.You don't give a Fuck whether she was in harms ways.You are just after your political image.I told you Mason,this was a means to an end.
I stood up slowly after i had seen her cry for so long. It was almost as if she was not going to stop.I untied her hand and held out my hand for her.
Me:Come with me.
She held on to my hand as i dragged Her up. I guided her a little far from my team until we reached an open field and i stopped there.
Her:Why here.
I turned her to face the house from that distance.
Me:This was how far i was to my dad the day he was killed.
Her:what!!
I changed the conversation.
Me:Why did you lie to save me.
Her:instinct i guess.
Me:June,Why are you such a Mystery.
Her:Hhuuhuhh.
She murmured turning to face me..
Me:When my father Died,I mourned him everyday until i grew up and found out why he died.he was among the Brave Four.
Her:What!!!
She gave me a very wide Distance.
Her:Your father Killed My Father.
Me:if you believe that, then you are no better than your mum.
I came Close to her again and forces her to look at the house again.
Me:This is also how close i was to my father, The supposed day your father died.He was outside with his friends praying for the freedom of the Black..he would have scolded at me if he knows i was following him that's why i stayed this Far..Two days later, he was executed along side his three friends right the same place. I did not know what it was he did until i grew up..
I looked her straight in the eye.
Me:his crime was being born Black. I am suppose to hate you so dearly from being the offspring of that Woman but I just can't.i feel so drawn and attached to you.. And thats my truth i failed to admit.
Her:Ooooh Jason..
She hugged me tightly and started sobbing over again.I wish this gives her Strength..
