GRACE.
I could not Find James anywhere,he never came for Bonding time and that was making me very worried. I have tried his number,but it was off.I waited for him in our Bungalow until it was time for General Gathering I could not fathom why on earth he would miss our bonding time, he was always very excited about it how the hell did he miss this..
I did not like one bit how i was reacting to his absence,It felt like my heart was completely down,I felt dizzy and i wanted to see him i can't even lie.I hated it, but it was what it was and i can't deny it for to long. I have already Fallen..
I kept looking at all angle as i was heading towards the hall, hoping to catch a glimpse of him until i reached my destination and went inside the hall. I found my crew and sat next to them. It did not take long before the High Priestess embraced the stage.We were already few hours late,she kind of was not in the Oracle building she was attending to state matter as we were told..
High Priestess:Two days from now, we will be welcoming state delegates again for inspection,i expect each and every one of you to be at their Best behaviour and bring out their best performance.Your distinguished White Oracles have been briefed except few who will not be joining you guys.
Me: what does she mean by few.
I became nervous like hell, i have not seen James all day..
Her:Meanwhile the following names should stand up..
She opened the piece of paper she was holding.my heart was beating so fast i can tell something was wrong.
Her:Mrs Spencer,Mrs Octavia,Mrs Longman,Mrs Wright,Mrs Becker,Mr Halloway,Mrs Ainsworth,Mrs Addington.
Why the fuck was she calling the names of all the Resistance,this was Bad..Before we could stand up the guards have came and dragged us to the stage and made us kneel..we needed no soothsayer or seer to tell us what was happening..we have been made.
Her:This ingrates conspired against the Oracle and would have been the end of us all if Mr Spencer did not uncover their hypocritical Plot..They dare call themselves the resistance and hide in shadows attacking our respectives White oracle all in the name of a toothless revenge.they are not going to any fire chamber,they would be prosecuted immediately and they will die slowly and painfully by hanging i hereby dismantle the privilege of the fifth from them.
What was i feeling in that moment. For a start when we were first called out, i thought about my Children, Mason And Molly the reason i endured,the reason i had fought so hard and endured so much till now and as cliche as it sound,i though about James,the man who have managed to bring our my heart from the deep Ocean i left it in. But when i found out it was actually him that Exposed us, my leg became numb, i could not even recognize my environment again.
He has been monitoring me all along, looking for opportunity to strike me where it hurts most,abandoning me when i need him most. His smile held Promise in it, the way he looked at me was so true he did not need to tell me. From all the moment we had, i can tell he loved me.to bad, i was just a tool for recognition.
Me:I am sorry Mason.
That was the the last thing i said before the guards came and tore out our signature as an Oracle.
High Priestess:They will be hanged in public immediately. To the outside world their crime will be made public but their identity as an Oracle will remain a secret that only Oracle members Know.
Her:For the Oracle.
All:Always Sees.
Her:take them to the prosecution office.
The guards came and started dragging us out..It was really painful i can't help but feel so at fault as i watched my comrades cry in front of me.
Take good care of yourself Mason,where ever you are my Son.I am proud of you,keep Molly Safe and i wish you can hear me when i say, I love you Son and i am Sorry..Maybe today will be remembered,maybe not but i am sure all member of Black will remember the brave thing we Did,How we choosed to make a difference.My Name is Grace Trueborn..
MASON
Molly had grown so much tail now he was giving me a run for my money as we played Ludo..all what he has been busy was intercepting my plays and making sure i don't reach my end game. He was so good at it he has knocked back my three coins already.To make matter worse,he will start doing abaracadabra whenevr he had played his turn and i was about to play mine just so i don't get to win..
Him:you should know when to quite bro I have got You grounded this time..
Me:You talk to much that's your problem..
Him:Thats not the case here Bruv, Nigga you have not sent any of your plays home i did like four already knocking you the Fuck back to square one four times...
M:You should try to listen to Mohrinho or try Reading Hight School by Kenneth Chuks...At that point Janfrances was scaring Vincent Off he said to her "Janefrances Obiechina,It ain't over until it is over" still my best Novel till date...
Molly:Play Joor..
Someone bagged in unannounced..I don't know him though but he is black so i will let it slide.. He was panting breathlessly like he was in a hot Run.
Me:yoo niggi!! What the Fuck..
Him:your..your...y....o..ur Mum is about to be prosecuted at.....
I cant believe it!!.I rushed out in a flash not even hearing the shout Molly was shouting my name..All what was on my mind was to get to my mum. I jumped on my bike and cycled out to Orcherster like a wounded Lion...
Me:No no!!!
I shouted as i speeded up, cycling my bike with all my strength and all my power...My mum to me was my breathe,she was the reason i even want to exist in this hell hole. Without her i am nothing..I turned on the adrenaline of my bike which was for emergency and the cycle automatically rinsed all the lubricant and breaks hold of it breaks and speeded away..it was a very dangerous and terrible drive but i could not care less. I disobeyed traffic lights and drove pass cars at a very risky setting..it did not take long before the police started pursuing me.At this state i was,they can't catch me even if they doubled their speed.there was a reason why i was a beast Cycler the greatest in Orchester.
My bike was already so hot when it reached the prosecution Arena so i let it roll through the crowd already gathered there by creating more space for me as i jumped down from It. I started running towards where my mum and others was already waiting to be prosecuted.
The first security man in my path came at me in full speed but i slide through his both opposites leg holding him up in the process and allowing him to fall flat.All the other guards rushed me trying to pin me down,but i would not Bulge,my eye already turned Red.
My Mum:Jason!!!! Please.
She shouted from where she Was.her shout shocked every one,The guards paused too.
Her:Listen to me Son,Live for me!
I know what that meant,that Winter when we had no food she came home with a buttercup and asked that i share with Molly I let Molly take it all and decided to sleep on an empty stomach the third time.I remembered how honey i was through the night, i remember i almost died but she stayed behind me till morning saying three words only."Live for Me"
I slumped down on the ground, letting the tears fall down like Rain.My mum had already given up.Like always,she put us first. I watched as they let go of the hold and she struggle to breath while the rope tightened and strangled her up.My mum died in my presence and i was Helpless.So slowly,so painful. My heart will never remain the same.My name is Mason Trueborn and my only crime was being born Black.
