Being Her

Here I am going to a place am not sure I'll be wanted with nothing but an old picture and the cloths on my back. want to no how I got here ,well your are about to find out. Before I came to be in this world my father Marcus Brown ,was a well renounced lawyer .He seemed for justice and order making him beloved by all or that's what he thought. My father then meet my mother in his late twenties,she was also in her late twenties and worked as a semtress.The fell in love and quickly got married. Life seemed to kind to them and my mother Elena was pregnant. Many months went buy and the unexpected happened ,my father was framed and was accused of taken advantage of people in the city which lead to people hating him. So one faithful night while. my parents were asleep some people set our house ablaze . My father woke up and carried my heavily pregnant mother but alas it was to no use as all the doors were on fire and there was an angerly bunch of people who had managed to barge in our house. My father looked at my mother and thought of one solution, he ran down stairs since the fire was coming from above and opened a hatch that lead to the sours outside the city. He looked into my mother eyes and said "forgive me" after wards he pushed her to the outside.My mother looked at her home one last time and fled. Twenty years had gone but in a flash,and life was nothing but mockery and suffering. my mother gave birth to a girl and named her Ramona , she had settled in a traditional village were no one was found of her and her daughter despite them living there for years. My mother would tolerate the people but I Ramona would never let people walk all over. I attended school and proved to the best in my year, many of the villagers were not happy that I was educated to the point of them arranging my marriage but I was not interested in the game of love as the called it,all I wanted was to study law like my father. Mother hated my persistence and she also wanted me marry. one faithful morning my mother brought in a young man and told me that she already paid my groom price and we we're to marry to that same day little did she no it was all a lie.She dragged me to the village is marriage centre only to find out that there six other girls claiming the were to marry the same and the had also paid for him. while we were all in the mist of the argument we heard gunshots and screams coming from outside so we all rushed outside to check only to find the supposed to be groom killing people and robbing them. I could not believe my eyes while I was still in a daze my mother dragged me by my hands and started running there was a bus evacuating town but the were only taking a few people. My mother pleaded for them to take me only, I looked at her with heart and tried to refuse resulting in her slapping me across my face.She looked at me right in the eye and said " people like them killed your father!( with tears in her eyes and a heavy breath ) " you think your tough but life's tougher! " But your not like me,your brave go and find Edward Jones he will only help you if you survive,now GO....! .with tears in her eyes and mine I left . That's how I got here , "Everybody off the bus! said the driver. The only thing I know is that Edward Jones was one of my dad's students and he is now a renounced lawyer who lives in here address (1045 main street) . According to my mom's story's he teaches law but has only ever taught two people ,reason being I honestly don't know. "Excuse me !"Excuse me !" sir is this main street . Yes it is ,the stranger replied. I was happy that I started running by every single house hold hoping to stumble upon his address. After about two hours I could not keep running so I sat on the ground not knowing a police officer spotted me and approached . Miss are all alright,he asked me . I glanced at face and forced a smile then lied saying I could not find my uncle's home. ooh dear don't you now we're he lives. ooh no he...... despises! me because my father married his lover ! but now my parents are no more and he is my only family. (With fake tears in my eyes) what a prideful man don't worry I will take. Just like that he dropped me off at Mr Edwards address. My heart was in pounding but I finally knocked on the door and nobody answered so I opened the door only to get attacked by a huge fury dog. noooooo,..... get of me! Rex down!, I want to see the low life trying to rob us. Low life? are you talking to me ,what are you ten! Excuse you am sixteen and a half! Enough! who are you said an old man Mmmm....Mr Edward is that you yes this is my home Am Ramona Brown I was told you help me become a lawyer. Are you dalusinal said the little brat Am sure you have gone through a lot I always hoped this day would never came but I never thought you would be a girl.said Mr Edward What does it matter,I was the top of my class and have been reading law books since I was five. To my suppplrise he said with a smile , Alright lessons start tomorrow at six in the morning ,Benard take her to the gest house and serve food and clothing it is already late. I was happy and was determined to prove my worth. When my so my room a realized how poor I actually was. The bathroom was the size of my old house literally, I had the best sleep of my life but I still remberwd to wake up early and prepare myself. I arrived at the study by five a clock, Morning?, there's nobody here I was a little surprised but I nothing could break my spirit. " Your early", Mr Edward your here . My mother always said to be early ,hihi Impressive listen this is not personal but I don't think your cut out to be lawyer ,why don't you live her I am in dated to your father I promise to raise you as my own. Mr Edward, with all due respect you are being unreasonable all my life people have been telling me what I can and can not be. Over and over again! why can't you look at what I can do instead of what you want me to do,tell me why! "I don't want you to end up like your father!" wha....t? Mr Edward,what do you mean . I see it in your eyes a fire that refuses to stop burning, that same fire caused your father to lose everything he had! let it go child. This is not just for me,this ever one out there whose had to prove their worth ever single day of their lives to show there more than what the are seen to be !. with tears running down my face I said, if you had chance to bring light into people hearts would you not. Mr Edward looked me dead in the eye and said you got two weaks before the exam let's see how far we can go . I spent the next two weeks learning what I have been studying since I was five and in two weeks went by in a flash. As a i always say hard work beats talent everytime and I passed my exams. The battle has only began . finally passed my exams , but the battle is far from over the people who wrong me are still out there enjoying their lives and I promise on my father's grave that they will be sorry my name is Ramona Brown. Ramona congratulations I never thought you would actually do it but I'm actually proud of you I guess you are smart after all. very funny Bernard would it kill you to give me a compliment anyway I don't blame you not everybody was born with intelligence. Ramona listen carefully I heard a lot of people talking about you and not all of them are happy not all that that the daughter of a person who was said to me evil or bad according to their eyes has now passed her lower exam they're gonna be very rude towards you and I don't I am not saying this because I care or anything like that I am just going to tell you the truth I hope that you're gonna survive this because their people out here are pretty nasty anyways I have to thank you because of you I can go out for a party. what do you mean Bernard are we going for a party. you really don't know anything Ramona , every year the law institution throws a party to Honor those who have graduated or passed one of those people so we're going to night lots of people are going to be there special guests rich people and some really powerful executive so try to look your best. Alright let's go home and prepare for the party you have to look your best my dear. oh Mr Edward that isn't really necessary I'm not really a fan of parties I rather stay home. you don't understand the essence of this party lots of people maybe someone will be interested in listening to your case and it might plan on helping you. fine but I have nothing to wear don't worry about that I had someone go to the market and buy you some beautiful dresses you pick one you like think of it as a present for passing your exam. we are left the exam hall and went back home wereI tried many dresses and only one truly spoke to me a blue dress. after we all got dressed we left to the we left to the venue it was the most luxurious thing I've ever seen in my entire life it was full of Life full of so many people it was actually overwhelming. the chairman of the event soon arrives and beautiful speech about his journey and experiences that changes life while the midst of understanding I I saw something that literally made my heart skip a beat the man the burnt down our village the man my mother said had ruined my father's life the man I hate with absolute passion was standing right next to the chairman and I couldn't believe it. as soon as the chairman finished speaking I went to look look for Mr Edward when I found him I told him exactly what had just happened he was shocked and asked me to point at the man , and when I did Mr Edward looked at me and shock the man I resented the man who ruined my life and the man who I had placed my entire life too destroy was none other than Gerald Henry.I asked Mr who exactly he was but he only looked at me and told me that he would explain everything as soon as we we left but said the most important thing we must do at at the moment was leave before he spotted us. I tried to ask him why but he told me to he told me to get Bernard and run to the car I couldn't understand anything but I did as I was told little did I know that this was the beginning of a nightmare. I looked for Bernard and told him his dad told us to leave but in the next second I heard three gun shots and my heart left my body everybody was running everywhere chaos had come upon us people pushing one another it was beyond bizarre and in about an hour the police had arrived. suddenly eclipse to me Mr Edward wasn't around I searched and searched but I couldn't find him anywhere amongst the crowd I looked up Bernard's face and he started crying as they why he was crying and he told me that Mr Edward had been shot three times by an unknown shooter. I completely broke down I couldn't believe it someone who was nothing but kind to me had died and the sense of suspicion began to rise. just think about it when my mentor wanted to tell me something very important he said he gets killed something wasn't right and I could feel it and I gut. Later own we went home and Benrad went straight to his room. I don't what it was but something was not right everything felt to rushed and planned,while I was In the mist of my thoughts I heard a sudden knock on the door so I went to check who it might be but the only thing I found was an envelope. I wondered who would leave an envelope in the middle of the night. but what scared me the most were the contents inside. I could not believe my eyes inside that envelope was nothing. I did not understand anything so I went to bed,the very next morning I found Bernard in the living room sobbing. Looking at him I thought of myself so I sat next to him and promised him that I would protect him like he was my little brother , upon hearing my words he burted into tires and hugged me tightly almost taking the air out of my lungs. while I was preparing breakfast I heard I knock at the door and to my surprise it was the police man who dropped me off. Good day officer,do you have any news . Yes, would you and your brother come with me to the police station. Those words never mean anything good and it not like he was giving us a choice. It as as a quite trip to the station and when we arrived were taken into an interogation room which made me feel unwasy. A different police officer came in the room and sent the other one out . Miss Ramona Brown, you think your so smart but I figured it all out,you used Mr Edward so that you could graduate and gain his recognition as well as his assets, finally you had no use of him so you hired people to kill him! you are as do horrible as your father. I could not believe the words xaming out of this man's mouth. So you have no leads ha?,Ok! when you cause someone at least have solide evidence. my,my my , Brown I will find evidence and I will be glade to see that pretty face of yours behind bars. you old! Bernard! let's go. we left the police station and three days had gone by after the funeral which revilled all of Mr Edward wealth was left to Benard . what are we going to do the police will make up anything to see you behind bars. your right Benard , that's why I have decided to find out who Gerald Henry is . Did you say Gerald Henry,how don't you know who that is? Wait Benard you know who he is ? Of course! he is iconic,I can't believe you don't know him. Just tell me! He is one of the most successful business men in the city thanks to his father who is the definition of icon , am sorry to break it to you but if they are involved without evidence it would be hopeless. Did there family have issues with yours ? No..... Except! for that one time. what time Bernard! It was a week before you came Mr Ston Henry ( Gerald is father) came to see my father and the got into a heated argument and he stormed off. we need to find out what the were doing at the time of the shooting. well for starters ,I can tell you this is that was the first time that they attended the law party. Relley Benard but why? His son is a play boy!, he is usually found at giga pub not like I have ever been. when does he usually go ? well ? yes tonight he will be there tonight! We should go! No offense you need to dress a little more modern to avoid suspension and you should wear mask because he knows you. your right and you have connections right? of course, Ramona It getting late let's get dressed. I ran to my room and looked for the most modern dress I had and saw one of the dresses Mr Edward had bought for me, I didn't like it because was fitted and it revealed my heart shape birth mark but it was the only thing thated suited a pub .So I swallowed my pride and wore the dress along with a black mask that matched the dress is color. Ramona!, come on . I walked down the stairs with determition. wow nice! , if we did not have this brother and sister thing going on we could.... Nope, Bernard am older than you Ramona, don't worry ..... After an annoying conversatin we left for the mission. We finally arrived and there were so many people , so we split up and started our search . I wondered around for a bit and finally spotted young Henry he was walking really fast but I was still able to follow him . I closed in and over heard his conversation. Ahhh, I was not able to play with those girls while I was on the job for my father but I did get the job done ,that village is gone though I only had two targets burning it was the fastest way though. I could not believe it but I was smart enough to record him but he turned around I wanted to make a ran for it but I bumped into man who was behind me at that point a stupid idea came across my mind ,I grabbed the man's color and kissed him. Young Henry walked past us thinking we were a couple , after he had passed us I quickly let go of the man who I noticed was also wearing a mask and apologized . I also noticed he had a dragon tattoo on his neck before I ran away . I called for Benard who happened to have seen everything I just did, I pulled him and ran to the leave. Really! , Ramona he gets some! Relax Bernard it was to hide from young henry. Any way he looked to be overhearing the conversation not mention that he was also wearing a mask. Maybe were not the only ones on to him. Your into him are you not Ramona,I mean he was wearing aask but guy to guy that guy is really fit and hi tattoo is sick. Bernard, you sound like the one in love anyway we are home we should get some rest and discuss the next plan tomorrow. I went to bed thinking about what who young Henry is father was after and what connection could that have with Mr Edward. Morning came in a blink of an eye I prepared myself and headed down stairs were I found Bernard writing on what looked like a white board . what is this ? oh my dear sister ,this is our guide board were we will right everything we know so far. That's actually smart Bernard! We began writing and noting down everything we knew so far. If only we could investigate to there home. We can!, good news the Henrys are hosting a business party at there house and we are invited as you are the new manager of the law company and me the rest of my father business as stated it in his will. Oh my gosh Bernard! , I forget that the will be activated next but regardless we are the owners. well let's prepare the plan for tonight. After Bernard and I had prepared a plan for the party we waitet for it to be seven past midnight for the party. we wore our most elegant outfits and our masks since it was a mask party and set off. We arrived with a minute to spare and the party began, Mr Henry wanted to show his guests a tour of his mansion so I followed him while Barnard searched other parts of the house. Mr Benard then should his art collection and among the many portraits was one that shocked me ,it was a buetiful woman who I would not to fail to recognize because she was our village's doctor. I could not understand it so I asked Mr Henry,who is this radient lady. Ohhh that, she was my lover but she died before I could propose. I am so sorry for you, Mr Henry. The party was over as and Bernard and I had saw each other back home but it was so late that we had to talk the next morning. As soon as I woke a quickly put myself in order and ran down stairs. I have big news ! ,you first !. ok I found out Mr Henry had a portrait of our village doctor who was close to my mam and he claimed she was his lover but died years ago but that part was a lie as she died during the fire, which makes me think she was one of the two people he sent his son to kill. That is big news sis! , but mines better while I was wondering around I stumbled upon his office and in his draws I found letters that he might have exchanged with my father I did not have time to read them so I took photos and ran . let's read them , the letter read Dear Edward You can not hide those two women forever ,why not let them go you are really good at abandoning just as you did to Mr Brown. You truly are a pathetic coward unlike your mentor but his determination to ruin me got him killed. please say hi to your little boy so sad about his mother I hope you get why I did that don't get smart. He killed my mother and my father, Wejve to stop him Ramona . how sure are you that the village doctor died in the village. It would be impossible to find her on our own, Bernard. Well..... I forget one detail when I entered the office I was not the only one looking for something. wha... Before I could finish my sentence therer was a knock at the door. As soon as I opened the first thing I noticed was the tattoo on the man neck and realized he was the man from that night except for the fact that he was not wearing a mask. Come in ,move aside Ramona please do come in . That is exactly how I watched a brother walk over me. Who is he? you should really no a guy before you kiss him. Bernard! I shall introduce myself,I am Seth Wayne you might no me as one of the biggest business men in the city. That's you ,am so sorry for kissing to you . I understand and you really should not appologize for kissing someone , especially if you are very... Ok! Seth and Ramona can I call you Seth I am going to call you Seth , we all want to expose for reasons we have agreed not to share with each other till we succeed. After we joined forces we made a plan and began to act it out . The next day I went to young Henry is favorite bar and approached him while wearing a mask. Young Henry, I said to him while moving closer to his face and I placed one hand on his chest the other behind his ear then I did to him "THEY KNOW" after that I passed him same photos and left. When he looked at the photos he shouted ,what is this! . The photos showed him killing people and snaggling money. wow, am jealous. Don't be Seth,let's go. The first part of the plan was complete,to bring confusion into yong Henry is mind . The next stage was to come . Father, somebody has posted pictures of everything I have ever done. Junior you full ,do you really think some pictures are enough to bring us down. Little did the know that it was only the beginning of the storm . young Henry went to the pub to try and clear his thoughts little did he no we had a lovely surprise for him installed . He sat in the pub trying to drowned his sorrows when twenty ladies wearing masks approached him ,he felt over joyed but once the took off there masks his smile quickly faded. The girls that were in front are girls he thought he had killed,he looked absolutely terrified from his soul . The girls moved closer to him and said "YOUR DAY'S ARE UP" HEHEHE! He ran out of the pub in fear but we were only getting started all hell was going to break lose on that man. The next day on when young Henry checked the news he almost got a heart attack, all his workers had been taken to police custody. He ran to his father Father I don't want to go to jail please help me ,please please please father please. there's no way I can help you son you have to help yourself. How could you after all these years of working for you doing all your dirty work you think you can get out of this unscathed your next you are next father they are coming for you too and I hope they bring fire to your alter ego. How dare you speak to your father in such a manner I am not going to help you are going to rot in jail like the low life you are, I am so disappointed to have such a useless pathetic son who cannot do anything but cry to his father for help it is really pathetic you should really try to grow up, I have never seen anybody as pathetic as you in my life. after the Father and son accident young Henry was taken into custody by the police and where he was tortured and forced to tell the truth he revealed that his father was the one who planned every single action against the people not just that he also did with illegal smuggling along with child marriages in front and fraud. he beg the police to reduce his sentence and their agreed only if he were to testify against his father along with 40 other people who were also willing to testify against Mr Henry against. Seth, Bernard and I went to see Mr Henry for the last time before he was convicted to trial. Mr Henry I just have one question for you why did you kill my father my mother and Bernard's father and mother what was it worth what did they do and how could you. I also want to know why you took my only sisters life ten years ago. Is that you Seth, oh I remember your sister little girl wasn't she well she saw me kill one of my men and I couldn't have her go spreading rumors so I took care of her nothing personal and you to your parents knew too much about me there are on to me I couldn't have them ruining my plans so I decided to get rid of them I didn't know your mother was too alive and I couldn't have anybody standing in my way so I sent my son to burn down the village but he's too useless to do anything and fail to do it I regret nothing and for your father Bernard he wanted to expose me that line thief I wouldn't allow that so I lessened his burdeneds. we left Mr Henry's House but didn't expect to read the headlines the next morning Mr Henry has committed suicide by throwing himself from the top of his building. later on Mr Henry's son was convicted of all his father's crimes and was sentenced to life and present. My first real win I was so proud of my self and way I had come from I visited my parents' grave and told them everything I had done and I felt proud a year had gone by in the flash and I took charge of a law company which grew exceptionally I also went into went on a couple days with Seth if you're interested in knowing and as for bennard he's managing his dad's company and talking to a general named Cassandra who he apparently has a crush on good news is she's younger than him so she he might have a shot anyway I wanted to take life one step at a time my advice if you if you want to believe in something dream at if you have the choice to do something you want to.
