Alixies watched the men trod into the room which held Ben hostage by Hansel with the kids as she ducked into a safe corner nearer; making their conversation more audible for her ears. With her hands readily fixed on the recorder, she swiftly pressed it into motion as Hansel's hoarse voice echoed with a sinister look~ ignorant of her presence, he shot a chuckle.
" Um, wait...this isn't fun enough; why not get it more fun" He said as he signaled the men in. Ben's gaze still fixed on the gun which hovered over his skull; fear fluttered in his chest like a trapped bird and his face became paler. With the entrance of the two men, their little companions instinctively caught his attention which made him shot in the trapped chair with fury. His face twisted with anger, his hand trembling with rage." Let them go, Dad!" He roared in pain and anguish, tears dropped down his cheeks as his eyes kept glued on his little siblings. They stared at him in tears, feaLeft with no option, Hansel spontaneously lifted his hand in surrender as he dropped down the gun in the process. With swift steady steps, the police surrounded him and led him out in cuffs. Nelly, Nina and Nelson, on noticing their father, rushed to him. He instinctively crunched down and bundled them in a hug~ their tears trekked down as they trembled in his bosom." Sshh....It's okay, dad is here now" Drake assured." Someone... Get the ambulance now, please!" Ben who had now been freed from the robes, howled amidst tears as he lifted Alixies onto his laps; her motionless body, resting on his chest. " Wake up, please~" He cried." Till when are they going to get here..... She's dying" Laura cried, shaking in tears.The moment of her unfortunate day, suddenly replaying in her mind as she stared at Alixies. Just then, she felt weak and drowsy~ the body she'd possessed, Mya's body, slowly faint to the floor. She glanced at the body infront of her, Mya l
MYA'S DREAMLaura kept going down a dark narrow little hallway, following the soft cries which kept drawing her; until the noise was only a thud, not a roar. Huddled a few meters from where she stood, she noticed a glow like that of a lamps' ~ it seem to be the only light in the tunnel; yet so fragile which made Laura squint her eyes to catch a better glance of whatever it was. As she stepped closer, it spontaneously lifted it's head, glancing up at it's interrupter~ revealing her pale, tensed and terrified face. Her eyes puddled in tears; red and rimmed with tears." Mya ? " She cried in a near whisper, her eyes danced with unshed tears.It was actually a she not it; it was Mya~ Laura's face intuitively registered her surprise as her sister instinctively jerked up and threw her arms around her, pulling her into a tight hug as if she was gonna vanish with just a breath. Her gentle expression was tinged with terror; fear pulled her smile into
WARD 212 Beep... Beep... Beep..., the monitor finally normalized, reading in its weave-like lines indicating Laura's lifeline as she eventually opened her eyes. Her chest rose and fell softly and her breath was like a fog in the oxygen mask." She's awake..." A nurse joyfully cried and every one of them cheered."Great job, guys " The doctor hailed. Amy who was all along, peering from the glass panel with Kelvin, hugged him in tears~ it was tears of joy."Our Laura finally made it, Kelvin... She eventually won the race" She cried with a chuckle, almost like a person with a mental ailment. Kelvin couldn't help than hug back, his joy weighed into tears." Yes, mum~ I told you, our Laura is a fighter" He added. They both watch her oxygen mask taken off by the doctor and they smiled." Laura?... Can you see me?~ Raise a finger or blink if you can" The doctor said to Laura who just stared at him without a word. She spontaneously lifted a finger and everyone gleamed
Ben's condition wasn't as bad as Alixies except for his bandaged leg after the bullet was taken out; he was just fine. The doctor had asked for him to stay for a couple of days so to check its progress of which he had been subjected to a wheelchair for the time being. After the doctor had excused himself, leaving him with his stepfather, Ben asked." How is Alixies?... Any news?" His calm gaze spontaneously fixed on Drake who noticed the guilt, fear, and nervousness which lingered in his eyes~ the fear of losing someone dear to your heart and the guilt of being the cause of their pain. This was like a new part of him which he had never seen before." Oh, um...yeah" He stuttered. " She made it through the surgery " With this, Ben instinctively flung his legs off the bed as he reached for the wheelchair and settled in. Drake stared at him with flickering eyes as he spontaneously closed in." Hey...hey, take your time~ where are you going?" He intoned with an attem
He nodded and what first came into Laura's thought was Alixies~ not remembering much from her ghost life, yet she found out she'd risked her life saving him. Those unfortunate moments were clearly printed in her subconscious mind ~ shooting a questioning gaze at him, she asked." Have you already met Alixies ?"His lips pursed in despair while his gaze spontaneously traveled down to his feet as the question rang in his ears. " Not yet" Ben answered, a sigh escaping his lips as he jerked his head back up to take a glance at Laura whose expectant gaze was still fixed on him." Actually... I'm~ "He paused on an impulse and then continued again. " I'm here to ask for a favour..... If you don't mind." He stuttered and Laura's gaze thoughtfully scanned his with a lifted eyebrow as she straightened her back up the pillow which had supported her all along.A sudden silence engulfed the room as she reflected on her thoughts for a while before
With the swift rasp from the door which spontaneously swept off the silence hovering the room, Rubin glanced back at the door, balancing his gaze with no interest at all, and intuitively spun back to what he was doing on his PC. But the knock persisted, which finally came with his sister's loud call." Come on, Rubin... It's me, Annabel~ Open the door, please... " She echoed but he just remained unbothered, sticking glued to his seat. As if on an impulse, she gingerly added. " Hey, let's talk... I know this is about her~ I mean your ghost friend."With the mention of Laura, he paused on his work and stared over his shoulder for a brief second with a thoughtful gaze before screeching back the chair as he jerked off it with an exhausted and frustrated sigh.Peering through the little hole of the door, he scanned at his sister who stood impatiently, waiting to be admitted so to clarify his doubts of his mother tagging along. Rubin pulled the door open j
Alixies finally made it out of her coma state after an endless week of undetermined fate~ everyone had just hoped she survived without any assurance at all. This revelation had brought pure joy and jubilation to both Laura and Alixies' families. With the news, Laura was the second to rush to her ward in her wheelchair after her mother had hurried home for a few stuff."Alixi...." She called from the doorway as she rolled over. For a second, Alixies couldn't believe her eyes~she thought it was just her ghost but then, on a second thought; Rubin wasn't with her and again, the wheelchair and the hospital garment she was in." Laura.....?" She called in a near whisper, her eyes widened in disbelieve. " Is...that...you, Laura?" She asked with teary eyes and Laura cheerfully nodded with a broad smile." Yes... Alixi, it's me..." She answered. With that, the two bundled in a heartfelt hug as they clenched unto each other~ sorrow and joy mixed up and they burst in
Balancing herself with the help of her sister, Laura nodded, clenching onto the small bag Rubin had left. " Yes, I'm good. No need to freak out." She managed a smile of which her red, bulging eyes just gave away the uncertainty and lingering flashes of memories which kept popping unanswered questions into her mind." Sure...?" Mya pressed but Laura's answer just remained the same with a nod." Hey... is everything okay ?" Amy queried just when she closed upon them, taking note of the scene that seem unpleasant and alarming." Yes, mum... you know I hate the scent of hospitals~ I guess it had begun its effects on me after the numerous stay here. Can we go now?" She answered as she took her seat in the back and pulled the door shut. They both stared while she fidgeted for a few seconds before finally calming with her head leaned back against the seat.Amy sighed, worried and heartbroken by whatever her daughter was going through. Noticing the effect Laura's s
