Chapter 2 - Johannesburg

Just arrived at an abandoned building at joburg and boy does it look very dirty than people would describe it, all the littering and the streets aren't clean and many people are selling across the streets. And since I've been hungry I had to test up my super speed power and steal some food to at least eat up and have some energy. So I decided to go out and then I found some clothes nearby and even though they weren't mine I decided to steal them I mean even God forgives thief's in heaven doesn't he? So on my way to a nearby kfc I focused my energy to the anger I felt the moment I ran from those thugs and then my marks began to glow and I changed into a walking lion instead and then people saw me and the moment I tried saying something I began to roar like a lion instead and nobody understood me that's when I saw that I was in deep trouble and then I heard the people close to me screaming

"Ahh she just turned into a lion and she roared did you see that"

"Uyathakatha lo mbulaleni (she practices witchcraft, kill her)"

"Catch lentombi eloyayo simulate before abulala thina (catch the witch and make sure we kill her before she kills us)"

And it was at that moment that I knew that I f**ked up and yet now I have to think of grandpa's words "run sihle run" great the trouble I'm getting myself into in this city

"Hey stop there you witch"

"Somebody stop her"

"The one who'll catch her I'll give them a million "

"Let's catch this witch "

I ran so fast that I made sure the couldn't catch up with me then I entered into a certain building and didn't bother to knock in one of the people's rooms and I just barged in and fell into his arms and then I looked at him and he also looked at me and it was the first time seeing such a handsome man but to cut things short those city people we're still chasing

" I think she entered here Let's catch her" they said running into the same building I was in and then I stood up and told the guy my name and before he'd speak I closed his mouth and said if he is interested in me he'll hunt me till he finds me at that moment the people were in the 5th floor and they were searching everyone's room and as soon as they reached his I was already at the window and I opened it and then jumped while closing my eyes then my mark lit again and I turned Into an eagle and flied away and someone was recording me live and just like that I even popped up in the news and then found myself flying for sometime looking for a place that I can hide at. "Breaking news there's been a person at joburg close to mtn taxi rank that has been found changing their form into being a lion and then afterwards the people claimed she was doing witchcraft in the day and decided to chase her but the changed into an eagle there are some pictures and videos leaked on social media and the famous scientist siseko mabuza said that the one that will find this creature will receive a price of R10 million and so who will be able to find this witch or creature and will it be a danger Into gauteng or just another human doing witchcraft this is busisiwe reporting live on SABC News" I was literally everywhere on the news and I stopped by this other house on the roof and I slept there not knowing the name of the place i was at but the only thing I knew on my way flying here was that it is soweto but which part that's something I wasn't sure of.

It was morning and I woke to find this woman on top of the roof looking at me and then she started asking me questions " ungubani (who are you) and why are you sleeping in my roof hmm" she asked while holding a broomstick and I was silent and didn't answer then she beat me with it on my feet and immediately my eyes glowed and turned blue and then I started speaking in a language I do not know of " imp na ri Ala zai do koi eft xoxai imp Sha Lai ( I'm like you and my powers led me to my kind and seems like you are the same as I " shocked I paused and just asked myself how did that happen like how could I speak a language that I do not know of. She gazed at me and said " where is your ancient scar dear?"

"By ancient you mean this mark at the back of my waist "

" show me Nana (child) "

I began to take of my shirt and immediately her facial expression changed and she said

"Don't take it of anymore okay and also from now on you're staying here under my guidance " she said with a smile on her face but then i asked

" how do I know you won't sell me out woman" I asked

And she immediately showed me her hand which had a scar similar to mine and then I saw that she maybe could be my mom and then I said " okay but I have many questions regarding this "

"Save them for later nana(child) I'll have to introduce you to the others when we have time for now I'll have to train you till you know how to be powerful"

We went inside her house and it was soo beautiful and there were pictures of her children and husband and I asked " are you married " I said in a nervous tone

"Yes I am and those are my children and that handsome man is my husband who can be very irritating at times" she said while laughing and then she gave me a smile

" there's something about your mark and are you the girl in the news" she asked politely

" yes" I said wondering what she meant about something about my mark I wanted to ask but then she ended up speaking

" before I go to far let me introduce myself, my name is joyous and yours?" She asked

" mine is sihle and I'm from mpumalanga and I came here to look for a relative that has the same powers as mine but my grandparents didn't say much they just know that she stays around joburg since she has been sending some letters to them" I said with a nervous tone

" you must be hungry sihle so would you like something to eat " she asked with a gentle tone while smiling at me

" yes please " I said while following her into the kitchen and we went there and then she started speaking again

" so the person you're looking for is a she right ?" She asked

" yes mam and they say that she is more powerful than any of our kind" I said

Then she paused for a moment and then looked at me and before she could speak someone interrupted

" my love" he said as he entered the kitchen I figured that it was her husband that I saw in the picture and when he looked at me he started feeling weak for some reason and then he looked at me and said " you! who are and why is your presence making me feel weak?" He asked while staring at me

And when I tried to say something he passed out.
