Chapter 10 - hope and saviour

I asked the lady who told me her name was hope if truly her name was hope,she sat in front of me she was cold and she looked like someone who has been under the rain. I was scared from the fact that I don't know her I called on my sister blue but it seems like she was already asleep.

I asked her what she was doing in our house by this time of the night and I told her I can scream out that a thief is in my house. She begged me and even went as far as going on her knees and she told me she was not a thief and she can't possibly be one she was just scared for her life and she wept out tears from her eyes. I felt pity on her and asked her what was wrong and who was after her this late at night she told me it was something personal and she looked left and right checking if someone was around or someone was inside the house wanting to hunt her I told her to be calm and she was save.

She suddenly scream out and at the same time holding her mouth with her both hands she used her legs to demonstrate and then she shouted "my child there have taken my child from me" I told her to stay calm and explain everything to me, she told me she was coming from Kara which was a neighbouring city around us Kara is a place where yam and rice are being made from. There normally bring them to our market to seal and it was in a cheaper rate that why even the poor people in our town eat rice and yam enough without begging anyone for it because it was really cheap and affordable for everyone but I asked her why she left Kara at this time of the night to come to my house looking all dirty and pity like she escaped a death sentence. She refused answering me and looked at my Tommy and cried out singing for her baby and she looked at me and asked me if I have seen her babe and why have there taking her babe from her. I got angred and asked her to leave if she wasn't ready to talk to me I let her in my house without knowing her but she was being personal and kept making the situation look more annoying and frustrating.

Someone knocked at the door and it was some boys from the voice I heard there were screaming loud and demanding I open my door there are on a search she went on her knees as I proceed in openning the door I was confused and I felt pity for her then blue walked in and wanted to scream because the lady called hope was not dress normal she was looking all tartard and dirty I told blue to follow the plan so i lied down and hope was cover with a scarf facing me pretending to be a woman who help in delivering of baby while blue will go out there and open the door we proceed with the plan while hope promise to tell us everything after this.

Blue went out to get the door but she kept a face pretending to just be tired and waiting for her sister to put to birth,she asked what the matter was the guys told her there where here to search the house there are looking for a lady she is fair and she is from Kara so the king ask us to get her so if you are keeping her here bring her out before we go in our self and anybody keeping a thief in their house must have his or her hands cut out so should we go in for the search or have you seen any lady.?

Blue told them no and she can't let them in her sister is in labour and she is giving birth and it a crime for them to go inside when a woman is giving birth there taught it was a lie and went in, there went true all rooms and there proceed in search the room I was giving birth in.

blue tried stopping them when I heard her voice I screamed out loud and it became real I pushed out for my baby and there heard me screaming but there insisted on entering inside when there entered there saw me pushing and sweating in pains and there wanted to come close there saw a baby head pulling through, there left as soon as there could I gave birth to my child that night just to save hope and that child was the only saviour I decided to call my baby saviour and it was a girl she looked really beautiful even if I didn't know the father hope was so excited but she was crying.

She told me her baby was just as little as mine and there killed her.I and blue told her to be open with us and tell us what really happened she wanted to speak when she notice blood was rushing out of me and my baby wasn't properly cleaned so she request for a bucked and a towel from blue and she used it to make sure my baby was comfortable and she used some hot water on me and tight my Tommy and request a hot and peppering something to eat which I did but she still kept looking at us and didn't say anything blue told her to tell us what happened to her and her baby

She told us she was the Queen of Kara kingdom but what Kara people don't know was their king was a demon he doesn't allow marriage in our kingdom he is married to every woman in Kara both the younger once and older.
