My Gemini

Prologue

I would name her Gemini Lisa says ,still staring at the child while holding the baby ,mother and child still connected to each other by the umbilical cord. She holds her child ,beautiful golden brown hair, beautiful brown silver eyes ,beautiful brows and lips shaped like a bow ;my beautiful daughter.

Still sweating from the labor, alone inside the Bush Lisa tries to severe the ties between her and her child using a knife she got from her back pack , she covers the child with a cloth that she could pick while hurriedly leaving the house , she hears a ruffle and quickly hides behind a huge tree and covers the mouth of her baby , she peeks out and sees the people chasing her run past .

In that pain lisa gets up carries her child and runs in the direction of her grandfather’s shed all the while praying that the old pickup van her father used to love still works properly.

Picking Gem up strapping her behind her, Lisa picked up her back pack and gets up with great difficulty, bleeding profusely and staggers towards her grand father’s hidden shed, her hair plastered on her face with sweat and a pained grimace on her face, she quietly makes her way to the shrubs hiding the shed, "oh how her father used to brag from north philly and back about coming here and spending time with gramps."

On getting there she stands in front of a 6ft tall shrubs hiding the shed, parting it lovingly she is met with the sight of the old "95 pick up truck looking very rusty, she makes her her way with blood trailing her wake to the hidden place papa used to say gramps kept the keys, under a flower bed beside the left tire of the truck, she feels around for the key, careful not to startle the child , and she almost danced in jubilation when she found the key and limped to the car..

Lisa catches sight of some rain water, she quickly removes her baby from behind her , loosens the cloth to reveal little gem fast asleep, she bends down with a loud groan and starts pouring water on the blood streeks and startles gem awake with a loud earpiercing cry, Lisa laughs bitterly still looking at the baby "my Gem , what a loud voice you have, wanna be a singer?".

Gem stops crying immediately and laughs splashing water on Lisa while staring deeply into lisa’s eyes and right there Lisa saw silver brown eyes looking deeply into her soul "it’s you and me now Gem, you and me" Gem raises her hand up like she heard her, that gesture brought tears to Lisa’s eyes ..

"Come on Gem, you literally just came out of my vagina a couple of minutes ago, why are you acting like an old lady?".. Oh now so am talking to a baby I just pushed out of my vagina, way to go Lisa , she quickly raps Gem up, and takes her to the truck, opens the driver doors and limps into the truck holding Gem with one hand, closes the door, inserts the key into the ignition and then "oh whoever is listening, I know I don’t go to church or anything, but I promise to bring you some money if you help me," with her palms together she prays, then tries to perform the sign of the cross, I mean if you take running her her index finger confusedly from one shoulder to the next sign of the cross then yes , she did do the sign and then she turns the key and there is a cough from the truck and sputters on..

Lisa quickly puts the car on reverse and come out of a hidden path that leads to oackland express and drives off with her lids threatening to close down..

Lisa manages to hit the express , and runs far away from the people after her child and herself, the same people she called her own… after driving the whole night in which she packed a few minutes to breast feed Gem , she came to a road sign that read brooksville and she turned into the road and stopped at the first self service station she could find.

And flat out faints on the steering with Gem staring quietly at her mother.

.............................................................................................................

Meanwhile back at oackland jeremy and the others rounded Their way back after searching the whole night for Lisa ,and that dog she is carrying in her womb , but no such luck befell them for they could not find them..

They head home down cast and tired ,to the mayor’s place, Senior Donovan who happens to be the uncle of Lisa and father of Abigail lisa’s best friend sat outside awaiting the news of the death of that brat, so that he and his daughter can have peace.

Maxwell john Donovan the mayor of oackland is not impressed with the news of the escape of his niece, but had to swallow the whole incident because he did not want the people to see an evil motive in his rule to chase Lisa and that bastard in her womb, he dismisses the guys and goes into the living room, walks straight to his bar and picks a bottle of scotch and pours a little in a glass and gulps it at a go.

Hearing the door open he turns to find Abigail his good for nothing daughter, crybaby personified, if only she was as beautiful as Lisa and half as smart maybe she would have snagged herself a husband by now.

Abigail walks seductively to her dad and holds him from behind while licking his left ear "daddy did they catch that bitch?" She coos softly, he turns fully into her embrace, and kisses her fully in the lips "no pumpkin but I will find her okay" and then he carries her to the bedroom all the while very glad that his fat wife Glen has gone to get groceries..

.......................................................................................................

In brooksville, the crusty B has been open since 9am, and Billy the owner has been feeling a type of way that she left her 3days old baby at the back of the shop, "well I had to do what I had to do , nobody would have taken her for me,I got me no husband just stupid old matt who ran away after finding am with child, well it be my cross , I will carry it"..

She notices a truck pull over and waits a while after 20minutes she decides to go tell the idiot in the truck that she has a baby that needs tending to, so he’d better get out , make his order so she can go feed liby..

Billy has been known to be a giant with about 6ft10inch of strong and muscled build, she looks like a thug, black hair cascading down her neck, blue eyes and a crooked nose to match.

But underneath all that imposing gaith and looks, she is soft and calm.. she matches down to the car but nothing prepared her for what she saw…

A lady soaked in blood, the hand holding the steering soaked in blood the face of said lady buried in the steering circle, a little bit of what looked like umbilical cord poorly cut dangling from her slightly engorged stomach..

Billy’s hand goes to her mouth in shock and then she runs her eyes to the other side and starred into the most unsettling and unusual silver brown eyes of a baby wrapped in a bloody cloth..

*Jesus H christ, hello can you hear me?* Billy stands rooted just starring and almost like she got snapped out of her shocked state into action, she runs inside the bnb and gets her phone , with shaky hand she dailed 911 and calls an ambulance, she drops her phone and runs back to the car, opens the passenger seat and picks up the baby….

She just keeps staring at Billy without crying, just staring, that’s very unusual says billy , she tries rocking the baby while waiting for the ambulance to show up.

In the grid hospital, nurses are in utter shock at what they found out, a few minutes ago a woman and her supposed new born baby were brought into the hospital in a stretcher with big billy trailing them..

Doc beneth comes out from the room where the lady and her child was brought still in a daze..

That lady put to bed by herself, cut the cord by herself, and travelled over 100km with a bloody baby and an even more bloody visage of herself, but that’s not the shocking part, both mother and child are perfectly fine, the child seems too fine if you ask me..

Walking quietly down the hospital hallway , and watching other nurses hurdled up probably discussing exactly what she is thinking,

Flashback

Doctor Beneath has had a very slow day at the hospital, nothing spectacular just the regular brookville medical history, of absolute quietness, she sighs and seats deep into her office chair when she hears a loud ring of bell, which symbolises emergency, she quickly gets up and ran out of her office and ran directly into a flaustered Billy jean, and billy is never flaustered , she is known as the towns giant plus they were in highschool together so she understands her well " thank God Doc Beneath , I called 911 when I saw them, she explains still in a daze " this got doc beneath’s attention because in all of 40years that she has known Billy, she is one tough cookie, she walks off to the emergency room which is straight down the hall and opposite the surgery room, and with that urgency she pulled open the door preparing to cringe inwardly from the scene but came face to face with a baby who is wide open looking at her intensely , beneath walked past the child to a bloody figure on the hospital bed , walking closer she could see that the figure belong to a lady ,beautiful bone structure and obviously beautiful face judging from what she is seeing .

A nurse comes in with a hospital board and then carefully The Doctor examines her , first checking her pulse ,very erratic and there , her heartbeat is a bit fast but ok, she noticed her breast has some breast milk leaking out and how tender they are, she then decided to check the stomach of the jane doe and found a badly severed umblical cord, both Doctor and nurse startled in shock, and the nurse quickly picked up the bright eye child , removing the cloth covering the child and brought the child to beneth revealing a badly cut cord as well.

A few minutes later after conducting test they found that jane doe delivered alone and attempted to cut cord the umblical cord , a second nurse helped the first one undress her and cut the cord properly and bath her before wearing her a clean hospital gown, a wet nurse picked up the baby that everyone has started calling silver eyes and cleaned her up and fed her , the mother still slept, aparent loss of blood and fatigue has kept her sleeping, although she already underwent transfusion and is now sleeping soundly.

End of flashback..

Nobody knows who they are both mother and child alike, who knows who they are? Why were they running and to where?

Chapter One

3years later

Brooksville has become a home for me And my child, Gem has grown into a beautiful child Loved by all , but there was something weird about her, like the mystery That still surrounds her father" sigh" He called himself Jim, laughs I remember that very cold morning on my way back from the stream where I always take a morning dip and I encountered a stranger, a beautiful stranger ,by God I have never seen someone so handsome LOL

Flashback

I just lost my parents in a car crash, they were Jenifer and lawrence Donovan , we were inseperable and my best friends, so naturaly their death wad hard, I clocked 23 years old and extremely beautiful if you ask me ,5ft tall, milky light skintone, long golden brown hair that reaches to my waist, and curves , loads of then but I hated guys totally detested them

I was the envy of all the girls and their mothers in oackland, and the walking desire of boys and men alike.

One faithful morning, I was sleeping in pink lacy panties and pink singlet when I heard something like a huge rock fall, I stood up and checked my window but I found nothing, I shrugged it off got up to go have my morning swim, I threw on a jean short and climbed downstairs to the living room and walked out.

So my parents left me this house, I don’t even know what to do with it, although I knows they wont be excited to find that I plan to sell it off and travel the world, she walks the path that leads to the stream, she stands and admires the land, it belonged to generations of Donovan family, and passed it down , it is a land that has a brook cutting across it at the far end of the boundary between us and the mackenzie’s.

I got to the stream and started pulling my clothes, to dive in and clear my head which has become a norm for me sine my parents died, after taking off my clothes, I dived into the River and felt my body break into the silent water and got welcomed by the cold, that I welcomed with open arms… after staying under and holding my breath for a while, I broke out of the water and then came out put on my clothes and turned to go back , that was when I saw a man right besides me, leaning weakly on a tree Trump, and my breath caught.

I was about running when he spoke with so much timbre in his voice and authority even in his weak state "please don’t go, help me please." And then he opened his eyes and I am a goner, silver brown ? Am I dreaming?, I instantly felt a reaction to him, like I was being drawn to him by a force, I wanted to run ,But my legs had a mind of its own, I found myself helping him lean on me as we make our way to the mansion all the while thinking and asking myself if he saw me naked , we got to the porch and I led him inside.

Getting inside...

End of flashback

I heard my phone ring in the back room of crusty B restaurant and bnb, oh well after Billy found us, she gave me a job here and then invited me to share apartment with her, brooksville has been friendly and supportive, although I see the questions in Thier eyes and I have some enemies too, like margo and her cloonies .

Before I could walk over there ,james one of the brothers of Billy who recently came back from war brought the phone over, and stood there watching me, James is handsome but not as handsome as him not by a long shot, unfortunately he has been on my case for 2 years now since he came back and set eyes on me.

I placed the phone on my ears and after listening for a bit dropped the call but I was already walking towards the door in panic, James ran after me worried "Li what is the matter?, " please james tell Billy I have to go to Gem's school "he stands in my way blocking my small frame from moving, I did not tell you guys that James is 6ft 11inch with serious bulk and built, he has huge arms , and an average face with a mustache. "Li what is wrong with Gemma? " I twisted trying to get out of there but he doesn't budge, realizing that I won't move without talking to him " james get the hell out of my way, I don't know what is wrong , she and another kid are in the hospital , they are hurt, it's bad James , very bad.." he walks off throwing "wait here" at me .

Grid hospital

james parked the suv in the parking lot and I jumped out of the car trying to get to my child, he comes out too and walks quickly to catch up with me as I entered the reception , to find the head teacher and the parents of Joshua the other kid involved. On seeing me margarita stood up and charged me, before I could get what was happening she held my collar, " you witch , what the hell is the demon you called a child?, Where the heck did you find that animal?,it almost killed my son." I was in a daze but james picked her off of me and gaurded me with his body till we got to the head teacher who was looking at me funny.

"What happened Sarah?" She stares at me for a while and then speaks up saying " one minute Gemini was playing with Joshua, I turned away for a second and before I turned back I heard something beingthrown out of the window, and the kids screaming, I ran to the window and looked down to see joshua on the pavement bleeding from everywhere , and Gemini had a strange light in her eyes, I walked up to her to spank her and I could not move her from where she stood, like Lis I could not move your three year old daughter" she finishes with a sigh, and I looked to find James' mouth hanging open. I started laughing and crying, " you mean to tell me that my daughter threw a 4year old through the window and resisted punishment?" Are you ok? I asked her.

While she was trying to answer I saw Doc Beneth come out looking sad, she gestures to me to follow her to the ward and there I see josh in coma , with tubes and bandages everywhere, I am shocked, no there has to be an explanation, she takes me to her office and on entering I see My Gem sitting quietly on the couch playing..

Do you believe them, or what are your thoughts.
