DARK REVENGE

Chapter Two

"Don't go too far marga" Mrs Adams hollers but the little girl just giggled

"You heard your mother right" Mr Adams cuts in, the little girl look back

"Yes Dad..... I just want to view the pleasure of the woods" marga said with her tiny little voice

"I'm going towards the river" she add

"Becareful" Mrs Adams once again hollers. Marga nods her head as she swing her arms running towards the river

Marga loves adventures but haven't experience one. She takes her visit to the woods as her adventure

She loves going to the woods early in the morning since it is not far from their cottage

She adores the river side, the breeze keeps her body cool

She loves water but afraid of swimming, she prefers touching the water to feel it's coldness and warmth

As usual she decided to feel the coldness of the water owing to the main reason she walks towards the river side

She startled as the river swept out something, her heart beating so fast

She thought it could be a mermaid but she only heard of mermaids in books, she never thought they could exist... are they not fantasy

'or could it be a water goddes' she thought as she took a step back

"Mum! Dad!" She scream at her uttermost voice

Just in a flash Mr and Mrs Adams are already there with her

They were so scared hearing their daughter's voice in such a horror and they didn't waste time to rush up to her

"Are you okay princess" Mr Adams ask while his wife has already cuddled marga who was still afraid and shivering because of what she saw

She couldn't say anything but point a finger to the strange thing

Mr Adams stare at his wife who made a sign not to take a step forward

"Maybe we should check out what it is" Mr Adams contemplate

"It might be dangerous honey"

"Maybe is a water goddess" marga chip in

"Let's not conclude yet" Mr adams said and being a man he is, he gathered courage and walk up to the strange thing

At his amazed, it was a human... A little girl

"Is just a little girl" he alert others

"A girl or a goddess?" Marga ask as she slowly walk up to her father so as Mrs Adams who held marga hand just to protect her in case something happens

"Wow! She is a fairy" marga exclaim

"She is beautiful" Mrs Adams add

"And she needs our help" Mr Adams tried checking on the girl

"Don't touch her yet honey, what if she is dangerous" Mrs Adams voice out

"She looks innocent and needs help, we can't just ignore her because we are doubting her being"

"I saw the river swept her out" Mrs Adams took a quick glance at marga

"You sure baby?" She ask

"Yes" marga replied

"Do you hear that, let's not invite trouble for our self" Mrs adams clears off

"I will take her home, even if she is dangerous .... She won't hurt the people that helped her... She really looks like someone who needs help" Mr Adams cuts in and his wife just breath out starring at the girl, she don't know if her husband is doing the right by trying to take the girl home with them

****

Marga stares at the sleeping beauty in front of her, her face is white and smooth

At first she was scared of the little girl who could be a year or two years older than her but now she feels more relaxed around her cos she doesn't look harmful, she just have a cute innocent face and she might not even be what they are thinking she could be

The girl had her eyes closed over three nights now and Mr Adams has been giving her medication cos he is a local doctor

"I wonder when you gonna wake up, I'm curious to know more about you" marga mumble

She would ask her father if the girl will ever wake up but her father won't fail to assure her positively

Her eyes quickly caught the girl's hand as it moves a bit, she was filled with curiousity

"Is she going to wake up" she thought

Just then the girl batted her eyes thrice before she slowly flap them open

Marga gasp at those beautiful blue eyes, she hasn't see such eyes before. Right now her doubt are trying to be true

The girl was trying to clear her view while marga is trying to get her voice back

"You are awake"?" Marga ask but got no reply

"I'm Margaret but you can call me marga and you"?" She ask once again but still got no reply as she felt disappointed.... 'Maybe the girl doesn't like her' she thought

"Don't try to get her worked up marga, she just wake up after three days" Mrs Adams said walking into the small room. She feels happy that the girl is finally awake

"She won't reply to any of my questions mum" Margaret pout

"That's probably she is tired and she is still trying to recover her self. She must have went through something deep" Mrs Adams said

"Where am I" the girl finally speak up. Marga stare at her mother

"I need water" she add

"Go get water quickly" Mrs Adams urge Margaret

"I'm home" Mr Adams announce

"The girl is awake" Mrs Adams cuts in. Mr Adams walk up to them, the girl looks weak and lost

"Who are you guys and how did I get here?" The girl ask once again

"Am Mike Adams and this is my wife Ruth Adams"

"And I'm their daughter Margaret Adams" marga hand the cup of water to her mother

"Here have some water"

"Thanks" the girl mumble and receive the water from Ruth gulping down the whole content, she must be thirsty

"So what's your name?" Marga ask with a beam as others gave their listen ear

The girl think for a while and her head kind of hurts. She can't figure out anything about herself

"See she is not answering" marga speaks up with a false frown

"My name? What's my name?.... I don't know what my name is" the girl mutter and they all stare at each other

"What do you mean by that dear?" Ruth ask politely

"Maybe she lost her memory" Mike cuts in

"Could she also have forgotten how she end up in the river" Ruth tends to ask

"We found you by the river side, how did you end up there?" Mike ask and the girl stare at him

"River?, I can't remember, I don't know how I end up there. Who am I?" The girl ask no one in particular

"You have to think dear, so that we can be able to take you back to your family" Ruth phrases

The girl close her eyes and some blury memory was being viewed in her mind

She was shivering, sweating profusely.... Those memories are shaking her up

"Is enough, don't think hard, just take some rest" Mike cuts her off. She forcefully flap her eyes open breathing heavily

"We don't have to stress her, she will remember in a mean time" Mike said

"What if she doesn't, will we be able to take care of her?" Ruth ask worried

"If she doesn't remember..." Mike pause and look at the girl "we will adopt her, that's the least of humanity we can show, we can't outcast her when she definitely needs our help, she is still a child" he stated. Ruth breaths in heavily

"I think you are right, she is still a child and needs our help. We can take her as our child until she remembers something about herself"

"We can name her fairy since she doesn't remember her name and I will take her as my big sis. I think God has heard my prayer by sending to us someone I can call my sister. She can even be an angel from heaven sent down by God" marga broke in excitedly, the couple chuckles

"Well, I think God answered your prayer but she can't answer fairy, is a bit awkward. We can call her Monica" Mike chip in

"Well is a good name but I will be calling her fairy" marga said

Mike stare at the little girl who laid peacefully on the bed, though her eyes are open .... She wasn't paying any attention to them

He wonders what the little girl must have went through and how she ended up in the river. Who she is and where she came from

Looking at her, it looks like she came from a rich family

He wonders if he is going to give her a better life from the little profit he makes from his farm

"Go get her some food, she can eat when she feels like" he said to Ruth who nod before leaving the small room and marga follows her behind
