Chapter 5 - CHAPTER FIVE WILL I EVER REMEMBER ?

The morning was quite and peaceful. Birds chirping, branches swinging. The sky clear and bright of no sign of darkness, professing a promising day full of life. Sapphire stretched her hands wide open while soporifically rising up from the bed with squint-eyed. "Morning! it a peaceful and glorious day!!!" Matthew screamed to her face as he rushed into her room without warning. He was so happy that she's here, in the same house as he. "Hey! I do hope you had a really nice sleep?" He asked cheerfully.He asked again but no response came. Why is she frozen? Did l ask a wrong question? Why is she acting this cold towards me. Mathew thought. Matthew ambulated round her observing if she would moving but instead she collapsed on the ground after he noticed tears streaming down her cheeks as rain drop.Matthew got scared and all he could shout was his mother's name for help."Mo !!! Hello!! Sapphire you've got to get hold of yourself. Mom!! Hurry," Matthew kept screaming and hitting his palm on the floor, to snap Sapphire out of her frozen state.After few minute; the mom rushed in, she was shocked. She instantly understood what's happening, Mrs.May carried Sapphire and placed her on the bed. She ordered Matthew to get her a bowl and a towel."I..iii...s she going to be alright?" Matthew stammered."Yes, so please get me what l just asked for." Mrs.May reminded and stared daggers into her sons eyes. "Sorry mom, just scared and concern." Matthew expressed. "If you really do, you wouldn't still be here you know." The mom replied and focused on Sapphire who was burning up really bad. In a flash Matthew returned with what was requested by his mom. "What can l do to help?" Matthew pleaded sincerely. "Umm.... Well, you can just start by keeping quite."The mom replied whilst applying the wet towel on Sapphire's forehead. Gradually her temperature was dropping━one could tell she'd be on her feet in no distance time. "What! That's not helping." He said pissed. "Well, as you can see she doesn't need anything other than rest and some quiteness. It was your yelling and disturbance that caused all of this. If you had just obeyed, this wouldn't have happened. You said no! That she has been asleep in the hospital for months and all she needs now is all day long━eyes wide open. Are you now happy?" Mrs.May quarried. "Come on! You know l didn't mean for any of this to happen━but the devil just made it happen." Matthew said gently, not to disturb Sapphire this time around. "The devil is right behind you right now━l pray he knocks some serious senses into you." Mrs.May teased. "Are you seriously saying that? The devil is too scared to come anywhere close to my shadow. It will die if it touches anything that is mine." Matthew verbalized with a cracky tune. "Is that so? Fine then, why don't you explain to me the horns that your shadow posses━for your neither wearing any horn nor any material on your head." Mrs.May explained. Matthew shivering, he tried to control it not to be noticed by his mom. As he tried walking, Sapphires loosed shoe lace wrapped his left leg and he gave up. "Help! Let go of me right this second you dirty black bamboo." Matthew kept screaming for help instead of his mom helping, his mom and Sapphire roared in laughter as Matthew turned red as tomatoes, his heart burning like lightning━stroke of chilling pepper. Mrs.May was still laughing when she noticed she wasn't the only one laughing. She turned and caught Sapphire laughing as well. "You both are something else. I'm too tired for this." Sapphire expressed. Matthew who was battling with his demon lace, he immediately initiated that he was looking for something beneath the bed━so that Sapphire wouldn't get the wrong impression. "Who is Samphire?" Sapphire asked all worked up. Matthew looked at his mom shocked and awed. Should l tell her? What if l do and she decides to go home━but if she do go home I'd never see her ever again. The investigation says it was a mistake but still l feel they were all murdered. Her brother not been seen after the incident gives such idea. Matthew was lost in his thought. His mother doesn't have an idea about who the person was. All Matthew told her was that her family were accidentally killed by commissioner Patrick Edward. "Guys!!! I'm waiting who is Samphire? How come l know about him, we spent alot of our childhood together━we seem very close, he usually wake me up the way Matthew did. Will l ever remember who l was, who are the people that raised me; that if my parents didn't have the opportunity to do so. Matt... Matthew please if you know anything and l mean anything about me tell me please━it will trigger back my memory l bet it would, so please help my broken self." Sapphire pleaded nonchalantly. "Sweetie, you've got to take things easy and slow. After few weeks with us nothing triggered your memory, so how sure are you that anything Matthew will tell you would?" May asked concerned. "Please ma 'am, at least let give it a try." She pleaded the more not to be denied her identity. "Apparently, all the things Matthew showed me━and we did things together, yet; none of those things has triggered my memory. Maybe him telling me thingd about me would. Or don't you guys want me to remember?" She nibbled on her bottom lip. "l spent months in the hospital before l regain consciousness, all thanks to God. If it were the doctor they were giving up on me gradually━even the nurse confirmed it. I know God allowed me to be alive to fulfill a purpose, so please guys: don't waste the time I've been given." She was persuasive and there's no other way than to grant her request. Matthew told her who her parents were, the girl he knew her to be in school. Her two friends Benita who they do call Benny and Ben Mollie.They have been in and out the hospital until Mrs.May told them they will be taking her to Paris where she base━despite that, they have been calling non stop to ensure their best friend is doing well. "But I'm not in Paris. Why would you guys lie.look, the best people to trigger my memories are those two, why the hell would you guys lie to them?" Her jaw clenched in anger. "This is the second lie from you, you know. Who know what lie you have for me." She sniffled and made to leave but May held her back. "You heard him, your family were murdered in a bright afternoon. Manifestly, someone wanted to extinct your family from the surface of the earth. At the hospital your knocked out the girl who impose to be a doctor why? We both know that already. The nurse isn't left out as well, it clearly shows someone out there knows your alive and wants you dead!" May made the situation clear. "Two days ago the nurse was announced dead. That she commited suicide! That clearly a lie, someone killed her because your awake instead of in coma or dead. Mehn!! You still don't get it do you? What did your family do to incur such reward?" Mrs. May's forehead puckered. A line etched between Sapphire's brows. Her head were spinning after receiving all this information. Matthew left no detail untold━he also didn't left out the part that he wanted her to stay. "Thankyou so much Matthew, and thankyou too Mrs. May, I'm really glad you both know this little and shared it with me, this will go a long way. One thing l did picked from all you've both said is that━my parents and brother were not accidentally killed but intentionally killed; it was so well carved that no one noticed it to be so. Your right to say the commissioner was payed off. The annoying part of this is that, I'm sure those that did know about it were paid to shut their mouth. It hurt but I've got to do this. Or didn't anyone die since the incident occured, not of recent though. I mean seven months ago?" She inquired with so much interest and zeal. Matthew shared a glance with his mom, his mom waved her hands for him to answer her question. "Don't get me wrong Sapphire, but I'm curious. What would you do with all this information?" He asked worried. "I think my days of sleeping are over, it time to arise Matthew━rising l shall. Can you believe l never saw my family corpses, they were all buried without me being there. Is it right?" She replied him teary-eyed. "I'm so sorry Sapphi, but you know why you couldn't, you should count yourself lucky you know." Sapphire fired Matthew a stare of fire and brimstone, all he could do was shiver in silence. May has been studying Sapphire for all the while she was asking all those questions━she could see, there's no stopping her and all she could finally say, was for Sapphire to tell her where she needs her help. "Sapphire, clearly you've made up your mind. Where can l be of assistant?" Sapphire looked at Mrs. May gratefully. She wasted no time at all━she requested for all the seven officers that were on duty that day. Their plate numbers and locations. She also wanted information concerning the people Matthew said she had an accident with. Of course the two officers who died, one month after the incident of her family death. "When l know all this, I'll know what step to take from there. The best part is l don't know who l am. From all this; l might eventually find out. Thankyou, both of you for doing this." Sapphire said vivaciously. "Since you followed us here, you've never been this happy. You want to find those bad guys but how and with what skills." May asked with all sincerity.Matthew nodded in support of the question his mom asked. "Well, it turns out the man Samphire and I do fight with is my dad, the picture Matthew showed me on the Internet proves that. My dad thought us how to fight. The minutes l went blank and frozed up, by Matthew's action, l had a little memory flash back into me. I need to go home, maybe being there might bring some more memories." Sapphire suggested. "But you just said your family were internationally murdered, don't you think going back to the state is dangerous?" Matthew asked scared. "His right Sapphire, I'll do the investigation and bring this case to justice." May adviced.But as she observed, Sapphire had made up her mind. After several attempt with no good result of success━they concord to let her go. "But on one condition." May said. "You'll have to train with three good fighters and it includes me. If the four of us see fit that your prepared, then and only then will l allow you." May stated her condition. She was expecting Sapphire to back down━to her greatest surprise Sapphire accepted the condition. She even hugged her cheerfully for being such a brilliant general personal. "That quite insulting you know. As a general l needed to be smart to be there." She gave out a lopsided grin "Sorry." She stuck out her tongue. Sapphire dashed out her room. She has not been this happy since she regain her consciousness. "You better run as fast as you can." May said and walked out to get breakfast ready. After some time Sapphire got herself all cleaned up, she ambulated down stairs for breakfast. She was hummingbird through out her breakfast. She couldn't wait to finish her training and go home, to find out her real self. Will l ever remember is now in the past, I will remember is the present. What I'd do after well equipped for my task. My enemies will be in serious trouble. Swimming in the ocean of their sins.Sapphire lost in thought, smiles written all over her face. She knew she is mad with excitement but she couldn't just hide it.
