Chapter 505

" it was already known to everyone that you came from the master's Base. This was the main reason you were kept far away from the clan as not everyone was receptive to the idea of having you here"

It is still surprising how easy it is for us to turn our back so easily on those who are part of us. I was raised up with the belief that as long as we share the Same skin color, it does not matter the clan or tribe you are from, where we met or who you associate with, we are one. We do not have to share one blood, one color alone unifies us. But coming out to face this world, it let me know that it was all an illusion and was not applicable,

I do understand that these are considered as precautionary method but should it be at the detriment of other's lives. If we were running away from the masters, we also can not run into the hands of our people for refuge but we would be casted out or withold from entering. It still baffles me a lot when I think of it but I still wonder where Father and Mother got their teachings from, were they not privy to what was going on in the real world?. They must have thought that they would be with me through it all, so I did not need to know the ills of the world but it hurts more because I was unprepared and had to find out on my own,

" You looked a lot different from what we were used to. You had your hair open and flowing free just like the masters and your mode of dressing was obviously theirs. This put them all on edge "

This was what my stupid thought of rebellion put me into trouble. My hair was my way of asserting independence and control over myself. I was tired of people deciding my life and ought to live, but even that was also putting me in trouble. If only they had taken time out to ask me, they would have known that this was the only method of dressing I was used to, as this was what was allowed back at the masters where I spent quite a while. I even dress like this unconsciously because I also did not know any other way,

" So they wanted to change it all. I can understand that when they covered my hair but why were they going to cut my hand"

This was majorly what I wanted the answer to because there was nothing that they would say that would justify them cutting my hand without my permission, if not that the Elder's son had come to save me, they would have marred my body in a lot of places. I had enough marks marring my body already and I am not in the mood to add any to it. They all had a story to tell and not mere decorations
