It was already 12:00Am in the morning, when blue began to hear people screaming and running Helter -skelter.
Blue ran to the window opened the window and took a glance as she saw the police officers chasing people.
Oh no!! what must have happened blue asked rhetorically, what must have gone wrong? As she draws the curtain back.Oh shit!,my mum is still outside and this is 12am, and mum is not yet back .I need to go into the street and look for mum, immediately blue knelt down and said a little prayer before she left
"Oh God of heaven and earth,guide and protect my mum from the hands of the wicked ones" .
After the prayer she kicked off into the street as she began to search for her mother.She got dumbfounded at the pool of blood she was seeing on the street,she began to run faster as her legs could carry her to the club.
when she got there she saw some people lying lifeless,while some were unconscious.What must have transpired here , She thought for a while.
Blue began to mop as her eyes caught a waitress gasping for air.
Hey!!! please wait,the waitress stood fidgeting and stammering at the same time
Hey girl talk to me as she grabbed her neck.Now answer me before I strangle you right now,why are people lying dead here?Please let go off me and I will explain everything.Blue took her hands off her.Now start talking, I have no time to waste.
Ummmm.... we were here at the bar when some drug lords came and started shooting sporadically.According to them they were looking for one Mr Johnson who stole $1million dollars from his boss and made away with it last month,his boss had been looking for him but his search proved abortive ,as he was no where to be found until today one of the spy saw him and contacted his boss that he was in town and he was in the club.So his boss and his clique stormed the bar and when mr Johnson sighted his boss he took off. A bullet was targeted at him but he was lucky and able to avoid it , So the men began to shoot sporadically and stray bullet began to hit people.When they left I had no choice but to call the police ,I guess you saw them on your way here?
Yes I saw them on the street but I am looking for my mother.
I really don't know who you are looking for ma'am , am off. The waitress took off leaving blue alone.
Blue was confused at the moment ,as she began to check the faces of people lying lifeless on the floor.After a while she saw her mother lying on the floor,she went closer and checked if she was breathing.Unfortunately for her,She was already dead.She let out a loud scream
Oh no !!!!!!!!!!
Somebody should help ...
somebody should help me .... ...
As tears began to flow from her eyes,she began to drag her mother left ,right,center as she pleaded her mother to come back to life.
Her screaming drew so many attention as policemen ran to her they felt so sorry for blue .The police men began to carry the dead bodies to the morgue.it was blue mother's turn to be taken to the morgue.Blue knelt before the police men.sir,please don't take my mother to the Morgue,I am an orphan. If you take her to the morgue I have no money to deposit allow me bury her.The officers were touched by her words and they allowed her take her mother home and some of the men assisted her in digging the grave at the back of blue thatched house, were her mother was laid to rest.
Rose knew another phase of untold hardship as she began to strive hard for herself
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Weeks later blue returned to school as some of her friends were happy to see her while some were making jest of her
Here comes the queen of this high school,queen blue the foolish orphan who feels so pompous like the whole world revolves around her.You are highly welcome her royal majesty ,says lily .
Blue attacks them defensively,you girls are so mean and dumb at the same time,can't you see I lost my mother,isn't that enough criteria to sympathize with me.Why are you girls so full of yourselves?
Just mind your business and stop running your mouth like parrots.
Flora was bewildered on how blue challenged them and she became more furious.Hey little girl blue . I can see you've grown wings,but I am going to trim them off .Blue stared at them as she smiled to herself.Excuse me girls I have a lot to do right now.If you think you have the nerve try and excuse yourself ,then you will see how lily and I ,are going to deal with you mercilessly.
Rose smiled at the girls as she watched them display .
Hey girls they is no cause for alarm, just allow blue be.

Am so sorry for your lost,don't mind lily and flora they are just so envious of your beauty,they are bad people.
"Henceforth, i promise to be your guardian angel" .
