Sold To Him

Sarah

Papa, Mama, wake up, please!

Tears stung my eyes as my parents laid helplessly on the ground, we were just returning from the casillias ranch at Costra Nostra, when our car got in the middle of a shoot out between two different cartels, we shrieked in fear,as papa slowed down the car, and turned the steering wheel to revise.

Then we heard a loud sound from our car, it was from one of the tyres, which had just been deflated by a fired bullet.

We panicked,and let out a helpless cry, papa held his grip firmly to the steering wheel and stepped on the brakes, immediately it let a screeching sound as it moved in full speed, he clenched his hands on the steering wheel as he tried to gain control, we reached a speed bump and he tried to slow down but the car screeched to a halt, causing a tyre to roll off and immediately,the car rolled over_well that's all i can remember.

I shrieked in fear, my eyes all welled up in tears, I crawled to my parents who were lying still on the ground, their bodies all bruised up and covered with blood

__ ,"open your eyes please".Tears rolled down my eyes,I tied to stand but I couldn't move from the bruises on me,I turned to our car, it was all wrecked up an d covered with smoke, my face was covered with blood from the injury on my head side, I looked around quickly to get help but dizziness struck me and I collapse right to the ground.

I opened my eyes slowly and saw a pair of white eyes staring at me.

I looked around in shock.

"Where am i?" I asked and winced as a sharp pain short through my head.

"You're in the hospital" a voice replied.

I looked up to the person, it was uncle Delvin.

He looked at me with scrutinizing eyes, as I tried to sit up straight.

I remembered my parents

I gasped

"Papa, Mama, where are they?" I asked with teary eyes.

He didn't reply.

_dove sono i mie genitori?_ "where are my parents?" I asked again,my heart thudding widely against my chest.

He huffed and closed his eyes.

"What happened?" I blurted with a sob.

Sighs

"You need to rest" he replied and leaves the room.

Immediately tears clouded my eyes,my thoughts became foggy and perplexing as i was filled with so much curiosity about my parents,i tried to stand,but my legs;

They were stiffened.

A lady walked into the room, by her appearance I could tell she was a nurse.

"How are you feeling?" she asked with a smile.

"I want to see my parents" I blurted staring at her with teary eyes.

She lowered her gaze to the floor and sighed, she raised her head and looked at me, her face filled with pity.

Smiles

"You're recovering quick" she said trying to wave it off.

"What happened?," I cut, "please tell me" I begged anxious to know.

She budge

"It's alright" she replied, by her tone, I could tell something was wrong and I got fed up with the wavery.

"Where are my parents?" I yelled anxiously, I could hear heart beating loudly and faster against my chest.

"They're dead" uncle Delvin replied standing at the door.

He drifted into the room

"They didn't survive the accident" he added and stopped.

"WHAT!"

A grin plastered my face,"No" I muffled and immediately tears started rolling down my cheeks.

"NO, Papa, Mama"

I was sobbing hard now, the top of my blouse was drenched with tears, immediately uncle Delvin and the nurse lady excuse themselves and leaves the room.

"Why?," "it can't be"

"NO"

I held my head in disbelief and cried out loud,the news struck me hard, like a shattering blow,I cried my eyes out and my head began to ache,my eyes were already swollen from so much crying.

I leaned back on the bed and rested my head on the pillow, I closed my eyes and drifted to Dreamland.

1hour later.

I opened my eyes as the nurse lady tapped me, and sat up straight but this time,I didn't feel any pain,my legs they weren't stiffened and the pain on my head was slight.

"Feeling better" she asked.

I didn't reply, i was too weak and sad to speak.

"You've recovered so fast,and I've got some news for you" she said.

I've had enough bad news for today,I didn't want to hear it, if it was bad news I thought to myself.

"You've been discharged" she said with a smile, then Uncle Delvin walked into the room.

"Excuse us"he said and immediately the nurse lady leaves the room, he sits on a stool beside me.

"How are you feeling?" he asked with concern.

I tried to speak but i muffled.

" re you feeling better?" he asked.

I nodded with a sob.

Sigh

"Where are their bodies"I managed to ask.

"In the cemetery,they've already been buried"he said in a soft tone and immediately tears began welling up in my eyes, I wasn't even given the chance to see them and say goodbye to them

"You have been discharged, we're leaving in an hour" he said as he stood up and leave the room to take a call.

"We!" I muttered as his words stunged me, my parents were gone, I had no one at home, and the last thing I wanted , was to live with Uncle Delvin, I shrieked.

I just couldn't stand his family, his wife Maria; who had a deep seated disdain for me.It was clear to me that she never liked me, and his daughter Kayla: "Urgh",

I was never comfortable around his family, the nurse lady entered the room with some clothes on her hand, she stared at my swollen eyes and sighed in pity.

"I brought some clothes for you" she said with a smile in a friendly tone.

I looked at her and huffed.

"I'm sure they will fit just right" she flustered looking at me to hear my reply, I nodded and immediately she helped me get up and I wore the clothes, it was a light pink blouse and blue jeans, the jeans were a bit loose, and also comfy.

"t fits you perfectly she said all smiley, I knew she was trying to cheer me up, but that was the last thing I wanted.

Then Uncle Delvin entered the room with a man, the man wore a black shirt,tucked in a black jean, with a pair of thick black boots. I spotted the gun inserted in a hostler behind his back and immediately I knew he was one of Delvins guard.

"We leave now Delvin said.

"No" I blurted and sat on the bed with a grin on my face.

He glared at me ferociously, "You have no choice Sarah" he said and signaled his guard to bring me.

"Pedro" he called

_Si capo_ "yes boss".Pedro replied.

"Bring the girl" he ordered and immediately, Pedro walks to me grabs my arm.

"Let's go Miss" he said with a husky voice.
