CHAPTER 2

"The voice is gone already?" I looked around, for the person whom I think might have saved me from those mean nobles, "I guess the heroes don't always wait for the thank yous and all"I murmmed to my self. Ilooked down at what seemed to be the remains of my mother's cure, for it had only two leaves remaining, I picked them up realizing what I needed to do. I began to run back home, i was crying, i was sweating bullets, then I could finally see the roof of my house from where I stood. Tears of Joy began to run down my cheeks. As I got closer to my home, I began to realize that I might not have been early as i thought. I could see some people come out the door of my house with tears in their eyes. I saw my older brother Gigi, he was crying too. I felt so much pressure on my chest, and when i looked up to him,i was already crying. I grabed my brother's arm in order to asked for an explanation, " Gigi you have to tell me, what is going on?" then he pulled it back and screamed at me "it's all your fault.... it's all your fault!!, if you had returned...if you had returned earlier mother would have been saved!!", i fell back and stared hard at my brother's face trying to look for a better explanation, as if to say that he was lying and that he was trying to play a trick on me," a prank exactly" I thought. He must be trying to play prank on me, but then i could also see it in his face, she was gone....she was really gone and he was also trying to blame it on me, as if I had something to do with her death. As if Losing the person you loved the most, the only person who cared for me wasn't already bad,but he was trying to blame the whole thing on me. I stood back up to defend my self when I saw that every body else had also gathered to draw their own blood.Nobody here was my family they were all relatives from my father and mother's side. "I...i only left two hours ago" I crooked, as the tears that were held back wouldn't let me speak "she can't be gone?... no..no..not this way",I screeched. I had no other choice than to defend myself, if not these people will eat me away with words, they would blame me for my mother's death if I had not said anything, but before I could think of what to say next ,a slap landed on my cheek sending the sound miles away from my home. He hit... hit and hit me again. I thought to myself, there's no need to continue talking, I just stared at him," you think you'll be forgiven for all you've done against this family. I thought you loved her, she cared for you as her own, took you in as a daughter and this is how you repay her." no father!!" I tried to defend, but he hit me again "don't you say another word!, this is all your fault, you are not even our child, you're not her child, you were just picked up from the gutters!...we protected you this long and this is how you repay us? by killing my wife?",he yelled. then the crowd all around us began to murmur ,he then turned to the crowd" my family!..." he addressed, "my wife has always been the Pride of me. but because of this wrench! ...I lost her" he sobbed. "and now she is... not welcome here anymore. He turned back to me and said "you own nothing in this house,... you own nothing in our family... you are not one of us, you were adopted by Your Mother. she was the only reason why you were living here... why you were Raised By Me!!, now that she's gone there is no use of keeping you here. you must leave!!" he shouted, and the crowd shouted out in encouragement. "I was doomed for sure" I thought to myself. I looked up to him... and said, "can I at least see her". he laughed, laughed so hard that I thought that all this that happened hadn't even touch him at all. then he spoke... angryly, it's more than he had ever said to me before. He said"you will leave from here you stand"... you will turn back and go back to where you come from, for you are not welcome here in townswend, in my family anymore. then with tears in my eyes I stood up taking in his words that I was being rejected by my own family,rejected by my brother, my father and the relative whom I thought had loved me.
