Caged ( Survival ) Daughter.
>* God never fails. *****Back in the city. Mia's mom woke up abruptly from her sleep. " What sort of dream is this? " She thought to herself." Honey? Are you okay? " Her husband worriedly asked as he turned on the lights only to find out that his wife was sweating profusely despite the air conditioner in the room." Honey? " He called her moving closer to her. " Hubby... I... " She couldn't speak as she bursted into tears. Seeing this, He sat up and embraced her... " Hey, hey... It's okay. " He consoled whilst patting her back... " I had a strange dream... " He thought she had fallen asleep until he heard her words. " What does it involve? " He asked carefully." I saw our daughter... Mia. " She sniffed. " Mia? " He was alarmed. " Yes... She and other girls were walking through a Forest path. " " And? " " They continued walking... But one thing I noticed is that, they kept decreasing in number as they got to the end of the forest and by the time they got to the cit
Caged ( Survival ) Compensation
>* Love will find a way. *****---- Mirabel ----This past month had been very hard for me, without my lovely daughter. It's said that a mother's love can't be explained.In the same way, a mother's pain when her daughter is in trouble can't be comprehended.To me, Mia isn't just my daughter.She's my world. Growing up, I was always lonely as I never had any sibling... I was an only child as my parents were working classes and so didn't have the time to birth another child. My mom was barely home so I was more like an introvert.I had little or no friends due to my nerdy behavior.I found the comfort I should have gotten from my parents in books...So I read them every day.I was literally addicted to them.I guess this is what made me an A+ Student as I was always studying. At a point... My classmates didn't refer to me as, Mirabel...But actually, The bookworm.Unlike what my classmates and teachers were expecting... I didn't go for those prominent courses.Instead I went
Caged ( Survival ) Insight.
>* God is good. ***** ---- Angelina. ----It's been three days since we've been wandering around the thick forest. These past days have been very hard for all of us... Especially for Mia who wasn't used to the harsh weather conditions. I was reminded many times of almost a decade ago when I had to go through this and I must say, it's really not a good thing.I never would have thought I would have to go through the very same thing again! Especially now that I have given my life completely to Christ.Over the past few days, my faith had been tested and tried.It made me realize just how silly I was to think that since I was now a Christain... Things would go well for me.How wrong I was.At first, I had this type of fantasy that we would be saved and taken safely back home to our parents.How wrong I was.Then I thought some sort of a miracle would happen and we would be back home.Never would I have thought that we'll all have to work out of bondage and captivity all by our
Caged ( Survival ) Time.
>* There will always be a way out. *****------- Mia -------It's already the fifth day since we've been in the forest.I knew the path we took would be long... But I never would have thought it would be this long... So long that I couldn't comprehend it any more. Though it looked like we've gotten to the middle of it, it seemed like it never ends. Somehow... We found water and wild fruits which we've been surviving on. During the day we continued our journey, while at night we lit campfires while we rested to keep the wild animals away.Speaking of wild animals we haven't encountered any. They are meant to be in the forest, right?Or perhaps they just aren't in the side of the forest we are threading.Or is there any other explanation for that? Not that I want to encounter any... I am just feeling amazed at the realization that we haven't encountered any of them despite being this deep into the forest. As the day's rolled by, the only thing that keeps me going are the w
Caged ( Survival ) Poison.
>* God is always on time. *****While they were resting that evening... Mia screamed out loud all of a sudden as she felt a sharp pain on her right leg. " Ouch. "Her scream attracted the others attention and they quickly stood up and gathered around her." What happened, Mia? "" It's a snake... See it. " She screamed out in pain as she pointed at the green snake which camouflaged among the grasses. " Oh my. " Angelina bursted out as she stormed after the snake. In the meantime, the others checked out Mia's wound." Oh no... It's deep. "" Yeah... What should we do? " Clover inquired worriedly. She was so flustered and worried that if it weren't for the wound on Mia... One might have mistaken her for the injured one. " I think we should tie her legs just above the wound... "" Okay. " Deborah immediately tore her dress and did as, Felicia said." What should we do next? " Clover inquired... Panickly...Watching her best friend in pain was like knife stabs on her chest as
Caged ( Survival ) Guilt.
>* It's going to be fine. *****---- Mia -----I rested my head on the tree branch as I pondered on what happened barely two hours ago. Deborah died because of me.Just like Sasha did. Though a lot of people might count me as lucky for having lots of people give up their lives willingly for me. But I don't.It sucks actually. I am just human... Why do people have to die over and over again for me?Why? I know I am the chosen one, but I am meant to serve and not the other way around right? So why? Why do I have to experience this?It sucks... It really does. I feel very guilty...More than ever. Deborah had to die just for me to stay alive. Why?Because, I was the leader.But it doesn't make any sense at all! It doesn't.I don't want to be alive knowing people will keep dying for me!I don't! Even Jesus, my savior came to the world to serve and to die! And not the other way around.So why am I different?Why?" Mia... I know what you are thinking. " I heard, Angelina
Caged ( Survival ) Nutshell
>* Take heart. God is still in control. *****------ Mia ------We continued our journey in the forest and by the seventh day, I could already see the end of the forest at a distance. It was just a matter of time till we got out of the forest. While we jubilated that we'll be out soon... Something unusual happened. It began to rain heavily... It was so heavy that I wondered if the heavens had been opened all of a sudden to rain. We hid under a large tree as we cuddled to escape the cold. For some reason, Angelina served as a source of warmth.Unlike the others who were feeling extremely cold... She was not... Instead, she was feeling the exact opposite. " Are you okay, Angel? " I couldn't stop myself from asking amidst the shivering. " I am. Why? " " You are hot, girl! "" Well... That's my normal body temperature... You just didn't notice. " she replied naturally. " Um... Weird. "" Still... You are enjoying it! " Angel retorted." Weird things are meant to
Caged ( Survival ) Recovery
>* Recovery is by force. *****------ Angelina ------As we approached the end of the forest on the eight day, I felt joyful so joyful.I recalled how I felt years ago,when I had to leave the kidnappers den myself. Then since it was only me, I spend close to twenty one days just wandering in the forest. But I guess that was also due to the weather and the depth of that forest which was totally unlike this. " Wow... I can't believe we are almost out already! It feels totally good to be true! " Sarah exclaimed joyfully." Indeed... It feels so good. " Felicia joined in. At that point, my eyes met with Mia's and what I saw in her gaze stunned me. Did I just see doubt and unsureness in those orbs of hers?I thought to myself.Normally since we were almost out, I would have expected, Mia to be as joyful as me and the others. But why? Why is she being so doubtful?Why?" Mia? " I called silently to her.She shook her head as a sign for me to hold my peace. I was surprised, wha
