?Why the hate??
?Episode one?
….. Lurel….
I stood beside my father's grave, my heart is broken beyond repair
I just wished I was killed instead of my dad, he meant so much to me
I took a step forward and stared at the grave beside me, "Lauren" a beautiful girl, my sister..
Although she was adopted, I loved her so much, she stole my heart with her weird hairstyles and jokes, her smiles
The way she cuddled me, she did always wear my clothes, she dresses like a tomboy. She is a tomboy.
The four years old girl was assaulted right before my eyes.
Its been twenty years already. And I spent those years trying to stand strong and tall.
This shouldn't have Happened, my dad was too carefree but it wasn't his fault right?
All he did was show a little percentage of love to the black and he was back stabbed.
Heaven knows how much I hate a black soul, even though they are my slaves, I kill at interval
I walked away from the grave yard with my hands in my pocket
I walked to the middle of the big premises as the guards approached me dragging a boy along
"Sir, we caught Gerald son, his father ran, we couldn't get him but we caught his son" the head guard said bowing to me
I stared at the boy, he should be of the same age as me, but he looks old and unkept
"Hey boy, your dad is stressing me you know but since I have you, am gonna give him a break"
"I will spare you till evening, if you dad doesn't show up then I will kill you cold blooded" I said with a smile
I could see he wasn't scared at all, yea, he thinks am bluffing
Because I got a soft skin and innocent face, its really hard for you to believe I am cruel
"Lock him up" I said to the guards as I walked into my mansion.
It was 7pm in the evening, the day is dark already, I sat in the living room and picked a weed wrapped on the table
I added fire and rested my back on the couch, getting high has been my hobby lately.
No love in the city!.
Iris (Sekani)
I cleaned my face as I jumped on my bed, today has been a bad day for me
Exams are coming up and i am in my final year, my dad kept calling my phone, Maybe I should pick his call
I picked the call
"Hey dad" I said slowly
Dad: "Listen child, this is a bad time over here, lurel is coming for me
If he finds out I have a daughter, he will surely come for you and your mom
Take the nearest flight and come back home so that I can protect you
Sekani: dad….. Who is lurel??
Dad: I bet you don't wanna know him, its just for a couple of days. Come home let me teach you what you should know
Sekani: dad am scared already, I will take the nearest flight tomorrow okay?
I said as I ended the call
I was trembling, what did my dad get himself into? I just wanna be safe and happy
I stood up from my bed as I brought out my travelling bag
I opened my wardrobe as I folded my clothes and few shoes into my bag
I can't wait for morning to come, am really f****d up
Am gonna miss my friends, I will give them a call when I get to America
Jenny, George, they are my close pals, they are the two white friends I cherished
They treat me like I am one of them.
I didn't realize when I slept off.
Next morning
……………………….
I took my bath and wore a white trouser and a big navy blue shirt with white inner
I allowed my braided hair fall on my face, I wore my heels and carried my luggage's outside
I called my driver as he drove me to the airport, alot is a going through my mind
I even forget to eat breakfast, its already 8am and I don't wanna miss my flight
I got to the airport right on time, the driver helped me with my luggage's
"Ma'm you should dress more like a girl" he said with a smile
I stood as I watched people moving around the whole area
People gave me cold stares, yea they hate black here.
Not every where in the world hates black tho, there are some people who do racism
Like the British and Americans, they are deadly, I gotta watch the way I talk to people now
I don't wanna be insulted and abused today.
We got into the plane, I fastened my seatbelt as the plane moved
I stared at the sky through the windows.
Why can't I be happy like every other kid? Its really frustrating how I have to live alone in Canada
Just because my dad is protecting me for his own selfish reasons tho.
Through out the flight, I wasn't myself, am weak and tired for crying out loud
The flight landed
My dads driver was waiting for me already, I got into the car and drove off.
I got home as my mom welcomed me, she hugged me tight, I really missed her so much
We were still giggling about little issues when my dad walked in
I raised my face to look at him, he has grown white hair overnight
He looks stressed and unsettled.
He gave me a big smile as he hugged me
"I missed you do much dad" I said in tears
We disengaged from the hug
"Dad… what Happened to you? You are growing old now" I said trying to tease him
Dad: why are you talking like those useless white kids? You are a black
Talk like one!
.... Lurel….
I took my beauty bath as I wore my black suit and shoes, all the slaves lined up to greet me as I climbed down the stairs
I ignored them as I walked outside
Ten guards lined up waiting for me, with the boy knelling down with his hands tied
The nightmare of my dad and sister woke me up, am burning up in rage
I signalled one if the guards to open the gate which was close to where I was standing
There are about 20 gates in the premises, to tell you how big this empire is
"Hey boy.. What is your name?" I asked angrily
He ignored me as he kept a strong face
"His name is Daniel" one of the guards answerd me
Lurel: do you know where your dad is?
Daniel: even if I know, am not gonna tell you
Lurel: do you know who your dad accomplice is? Twenty years ago
Mention one of them
Daniel: I only know of the don, he has a daughter
Lurel: wow
Well, for telling me what I need to hear… am gonna let you go
But don't disclose what you saw in here to anybody okay?
Daniel: yes, I promise I won't
Lurel: good boy.
"Untie him" I said to the guards
They untied him quickly
I faced Daniel with a smile
"Run as fast as you can through that gate and never return" I said with a smile
He stood up weakly as he started running towards the opened gate
He was almost at the gate
I took a gun from my back trouser
He was just at the gate……….
I pulled the trigger
