HER QUEST FOR REVENGE: Chapter 1 – 10
Written by: Chidimma Mirabel
CHAPTER 7?
“What have we done to deserve this?” She said while crying…
She sat down like that and cried for some minutes…
A knock was heard on the door. Roxanna ignored the knock and kept crying..
The door then opened and Kelvin’s mother gasped as she saw Camella lying on the couch naked, it looked like she was…dead.
“What happened here?” She said pin h©rror.
“Some bad came here, they raped Camella till dead” Roxanna said as she kept crying.
Kelvin’s mother wiped the tears that escaped her eyes and she went upstairs. She took some sheets and covered Camella with it.
“Poor girl, I’m so sorry.” She said as sge hugged Roxanna who kept crying.
She called the cops and they arrived shortly. They took her corpse away and immediately buried her beside her parents grave.
After all her burial, Roxanna walked back home and sat down on the ground thinking of all what happened to her just in these happened just in some days time…
“I’m all alone in this cruel world” She cried as she burried her head in her knees.
She stood up and ran out of her house. She saw Kelvin and his mom coming towards her but she just ran past them.
She kept running not knowing where she’s going, she just kept running and running. At one point, she stopped and her knees gave up as she sat on the ground.
It looked like the weather felt her grieve so it began raining heavily. She sat there as the rain drenched her…
“Why? Why is life so unfair. Such a cold and dark and lonely life I’m living, but here I am. I just wish to die, to join my family but it isn’t possible…Maybe there is a reason why I’m alive.”She lamented in tears.
She glared at no one in particular.
“As from today, all they’ll know is pain, they’re gonna feel my pain. I’ll make them, you’re gonna pay for this. That’s a promise, you’re all going to pay. I’ll make you suffer, I’ll crush you, and when you guys will think it’s over, then I’ll kill you” She screamed and stood up as the rain poured heavily on her.
She began walking on the road deep in thoughts.
Suddenly a car sped towards her and before she knew it, it hit her. She fell on the ground, loosing consciousness.

They were all having a girl’s night at Jennifer’s place when a news popped up on the TV.
“Camella Martinez, a young girl aged 19 was found dead at her house. The witnesses confirmed that she was a victim of rape, she was raped till dead.” The journalist said
“Oh no poor Roxanna, why must all these tragedy happen to her?” Catherine said as she was already in tears.
“We have to look for her, she might try to harm herself” Jennifer said.
They all stood up and rushed upstairs to get dressed. After some minutes, they were done. They boarded one of Nathaniel cars and the driver drove them to Roxanna house.
They alighted the car and saw kelvin sitting in front of their house.
They walked up to him and Yvonne kept a safe distance from him.
“What are you doing out here? Where is Roxanna?” Jennifer asked.
“As i was coming here with my mom, I saw her storm out of her house running to who knows where. I ran after her but unfortunately I lost her. She’s been gone for the past two hours” Kelvin said worriedly.
“What? Oh no, what if she tried to hurt herself” Catherine said as she was in tears.
Olivia consoled her
“Calm down Cat, we’ll find her.” Olivia said.

Roxanna slowly opened her eyes and looked round the area. She was in a room she didn’t recognize.
“Finally you’re awake!” Someone said beside her.
She looked at the direction the voice was coming from and she saw a girl around her age, she had long brown hair and deep brown eyes with a small nose.
“Who…who are you?” Roxanna said weakly.
“Sorry I’m the one who hit you, actually it was my driver. I’m sorry but what were you doing alone in middle of the night? Don’t you know they can be evil lurking in the dark?” She said worriedly.
“I’m sorry. You should have just let me die” She said as tears escaped her eyes.
The girl gasped.
“What? Why do you want to die?” She said, surprised.
“What is the point of living when all your family, the same person you hold dear to you are all gone” She said in tears.
“Wait? Are you a Martinez?” She asked and Roxanna nodded.
“I’m so sorry, that’s so sad what happened to you” She said.
Roxanna wiped off her tears.
“It’s okay. What’s your name by the way?” Roxanna asked.
“I’m Suzy Guzman, nice meeting you” Suzy said.
“Roxanna Martinez” She replied.
They began discussing and chatting. It turned out that Suzy is the talkative type.
After some minutes, the door opened and a woman entered. She was beautiful with a slender body and she looked so much like Suzy but when you look very well in her face, you’ll know she’s old.
“I can see you’re awake” She said.
Roxanna nodded.
“Meet my mother. Mom, meet my new friend Roxanna” Suzy said.
“Nice meeting you Roxanna, and I’m so sorry you had to go through all this.” She said.
“It’s okay, thanks for your concern” Roxanna said.
Suzy beamed happily as an idea popped in her brain.
“Roxanna, how about you come live with us?” She said which started Roxanna.
“I don’t want to be a bother to you guys” She said.
“Oh come on stop being modest. My dad is a senator, I have all I want without lifting a finger but I feel all alone in this huge mansion. Please come live with us please?” Suzy said and made her best puppy face.
“Alright, but I’ll have to go back home and inform my friends then” Roxanna said.
“Okay cool, we’ll go see them in the morning. But for now, rest” Suzy sat and stood up then walked out of the room.
Suzy’s mother walked towards Roxanna with a serious expression on her face.
“I’m willing and happy to welcome you into my humble home. And I’ll make sure you lack nothing. Also I know you’re burning with anger, you’re thirsty for revenge and I’ll help you with that” Her mother said
“How will you help me?” Roxanna asked
“Sleep tomorrow I won’t just tell you, I’ll show you” She said and walked out of the room
Roxanna closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

Roxanna woke up early and went to the bathroom. Everything was already arranged for her. The shampoo, toothbrush, paste etc.
She brushed her teeth and took a bath before walking out of the huge bathroom. She gasped as she saw a new school uniform on her bed.
“How do thy know my school?” She asked as she applied her cream. After that she wore her uniform.
She sat down to brush her hair but she stopped.
“New life, new looks” She said and she picked up a scissors and cut her hair short before brushing and styling it.
After that she picked up her brand new backpack and walked out of the room.
She gasped as she looked round the house, it was so huge. She was even confused on which stairs to take.
“This way ma’am” A maid said and she followed.
Sh entered the dining room and Suzy and her mom together with a man sitting in the dining room.
“Roxy, come on. Come and sit beside me” Suzy said gesturing to an empty seat beside her.
She walked and sat down there and food was served to her. She ate with great appetite.
“So you’re the Roxanna that’ll be living with us from henceforth” The man spoke and Roxanna nodded while swallowing a piece the meat she’s been chewing.
“I’m Suzy dad, and I have no problem with you living with us as long as it makes my little princess happy. I’ll treat you and consider you as my daughter” He said with a smile.
“Thank you sir” Roxanna said.
“Enough with the formality, you can call me father” He said and Roxanna nodded.
“I asked dad to transfer me to your school so that I can spend more time with you” Suzy said happily.
They finished eating and the driver took them to school.
As they stepped out of the car all eyes turned to them…
• Isn’t that the senator daughter?
• Yeah it is, what is she doing together with Roxanna
• Looks like she’ll attend this school from henceforth
• Have you heard what happened to Roxanna sister?
• I heard she was raped till death, poor girl. She’s now all alone.
• She kinda deserves it. That Roxanna is always proud and I hate it.
• I heard that her sister is a slut. Who knows maybe it’s in the blood.
Roxanna clenched her fists and tried to calm down as she heard on the comments about her.
“Shut up everyone!! Who are you guys to judge a person. What if her sister is a slut, what if Roxanna is proud. What’s your business in it!! Rather spewing rubbish, you better go and study and see if you’ll become someone in future. If I hear any nonsense coming out of those stinky holes, you’re gonna get it from me” Suzy said and held Roxanna’s hand as they walked to a quiet place.
She ran her hands through her hair as she tried to calm down.
“Thanks for defending me earlier” Roxanna said.
“It’s no big deal, you’re now like a sister to me” Suzy said.
Catherine, Jennifer, Yvonne and Olivia walked to them.
“Roxy, thank goodness you’re okay. We were so worried about you” Catherine said.
“I’m fine, Suzy helped me”
“Who’s Suzy?” Olivia asked.
“Hi I’m Suzy. Nice meeting y’all” Suzy said with a big smile.
“Nice meeting you too Suzy and thanks for helping our friend. I’m Jennifer” Jennifer said.
“Olivia”
“And I am Catherine.”
“Who’s she?” Roxanna asked.
“Yvonne” Yvonne said.
“A new girl, cool!!” Roxanna said.
*I know you’re acting tough but deep inside you you’re in great pains* Yvonne thought staring at Roxanna.
They walked to class while chatting…
