Chapter 14 - Chapter 14

Calm down.. calm down.. ma Mia whispered softly willing me to be calm as she reached out to hold onto my shoulder

but I dodged her hand and quickly drew back, my poor legs shaking in fear.

"It's been you all along haunting down the wood. " I stated in tears.

You... You are ghost Tsu.. Tsushima. I stuttered weakly almost falling to the ground before papa Jesse held me and carried me forcefully despite my struggle to free myself from him.

"Get a grip on yourself else you'll fall sick. "

He berated me as he made me stand on my feet.

I looked at pesi and recalled how much he fought to protect me from lord zik but all the same she is a monster as well.

Hw can I possibly cope living with monsters? I thought for sometime as it seemed to me that I was starting to loss my sanity.

"I know I should have told you this long ago but your fear of ghost and monsters kept me from doing that. " ma Mia said in tears as she drew closer.

There again am caught speechless and less frightened as I watched her in tears.

Papa Jesse you can as well tell me that you are a mons..

No! Am totally human.

He caught me off before I could finish.

"What the heck is going on here? "

I heard a voice from the entrance and turned to hehold my favorite person; uncle Ivan.

Not sure if I can trust anyone, I stood where I was as uncle Ivan walked right into the house with his face filled with so much anxiety.

Mel. Do you think I can ever hurt you?

Ma Mia asked as I looked on confused.

"You all are imposters so how do you expect me to trust you now? " I yelled out frustrated.

" Us hiding away in the woods like this, is not by accident it's for your safety , cus I am not human. I belong to the clan of lord Tsushima the god of fertility. "

I watched the anger in ma Mia's eyes, same anger in her eyes when I saw her real self in the woods.

"Right now I am the last of my clan everyone from my clan vanished all thanks to me."

She broke down completely in tears as papa Jesse and uncle Ivan left my side to go comfort her.

For some reason I felt pained and wondered for how long she had held back those tears and pretended never to cry.

"Am sorry for making you cry ma Mia " I said innocently and drew closer to where she is seated crying.

I didn't mean to hurt your feeli..

She grabbed my legs hugging and kissing both legs before she knelt down to give me a full Hug.

" I can never image hurting you because you are the life I live ".

Obviously ma Mia has always been the light that scares darkness away in my life, how could I even think of her hurting me.

"Am sorry ma Mia " I altered in tears

I was just scared knowing that the stories you've been telling me about ghost Tsushima are actually true, I couldn't believe pesi is a monster and you a ghost!

Ma Mia held my hand and led me to the bed where she made me sit .

" I guess it's time you know the true story of ghost Tsushima and her clans which I never told you before. "

My eyes widened and my ears opened anxious waiting to be fed with information that is likely going to change my life for the best or worst.
