Me Mariana #2
My eyes flutter open, I look around to get my bearings. My head is aching badly. This is a new place. What place is this? I can not make out where I am. I sit up. I rub my forehead just to decrease the headache but it does no good. I struggle and sit up. Where the hell is this place?  My whole body aches. I have joint pains too. I stand up. What happened...... How did I get here. Then it rushes to me. My mother! The woman sold me off. She sold me out for marriage. No no I should get out of here.

                  " You are awake!" She says with a bright smile
                  " Ofcourse I am. I am talking to you right? It means I am awake woman where....... that voice" I say. I recognize it. It's her. The woman my mother was speaking to
                 " Yes I am the one." She answers.
                " Did you kidnap me? You did... my mother's accomplice. You are my mother's accomplice. Where am I? Where did you bring me? I .......
               " Calm down."  she interrupts me. " You are not kidnapped. This is your new home." She adds as she walks towards me. I step away from her.
