ILLUSION Chapter eighteen
I was frightened when I saw a dead body in the well, I instantly stepped backward "No! No! No! It can’t be, I’m overthinking again, that’s not true, I’m probably imagining things again" I thought My heart was racing fast as many questions were raised in my mind "Is that Mick, no, no It can’t be, Melody said she’s on her way with Mick" I whispered to myself I looked down at the well again, the body was there but the face was extremely damaged which made it hard for me to recognize who’s body is. "Vickie, what are you still doing there" I heard Liv's voice from far away I was confused, I had no idea what to do, whose body it was, and why does Melody have a dead body in the well. "I have to tell the others" I thought I quickly rushed out of the garden, Liv was standing at the front door. "Liv" I whispered to myself I could feel I wasn’t in control of my own body, I tried to walk closer to her but unfortunately, I couldn’t. "Liv, turn over here" I whispered. What is happening,
ILLUSION Chapter nineteen
NORA POV I woke up feeling very thirsty, I turned around and looked at Vickie who was sound asleep. I stretched my arms a little bit before I stood up and took the bottled water which was kept on the table "Oh lord, who drank my water," I thought I rubbed my eyes with the back of my hand before I entered the kitchen. I was about to grab a bottle of water when I felt someone’s presence behind me, I turned back but there was no one. I took the bottle and poured a certain amount of water into the glass. I was about to drink the water when I felt a tap on my shoulder, I instantly turned back but there was no one behind me "What’s happening," I thought I turned around to drink the water when I saw the music box on the kitchen counter "How did it come here" I took the box and was about to keep it in the pantry when I heard someone’s footstep coming from the living room "Might be Vickie" I thought After I kept the music box in the pantry I drank water before I entered the living room
ILLUSION Chapter twenty
I couldn’t sleep well last night, my neck was hurting along with my back. I had never slept on a couch before, Liv continuously kept hitting my head with her leg while she was asleep, and I kept on pushing her leg away from my head throughout the night. I let out a short yawn as I stretched my arms, "Good morning" I groaned but there wasn’t an answer. I turned around and looked at Liv who was peacefully sleeping without any trouble, this made me wonder if she had slept on a couch before. I turned and looked at Lyon who was trying to cover himself with the blanket, it was so obvious he wasn’t comfortable. I looked at the position where Nora slept last night "Early bird" I murmured Nora hardly wakes up late, it is very unlike her to do that. I remembered when we were in junior school, she could come to my house prepared and ready for school two hours before the school bus would arrive. I stood up and twisted my neck a little bit, I had to stretch it to feel much better, as I twisted

Don’t please don’t do this…….I won’t do anything, the music will do it all……What do you mean…. "It seems like the music is making all this happen. I know it doesn’t make any sense but I think Nora’s death has a connection" Lyon said "It all makes sense now, Mick’s death and now Nora" “What are you talking about?" "Guys I have something to tell you" They looked at each other before they faced me "I know it’s crazy and maybe you won’t believe me but I have been having strange dreams since the first day we came to this house. The first one was about Mick, I witnessed his death, it was a dream but it felt so real, he died holding that creepy-looking box and his blood rolled down to my feet and the second was Nora, she also…." I sobbed They stared at me till I finished talking, they had no idea what to say, I won’t blame them if they don’t believe me or feel like it was all my fault. They were quiet for almost a minute, I could feel their silence demanding more explanation "Guys I k
ILLUSION Chapter twenty two
When the music started, I felt a strange feeling in my body, it was like my death was near, I have never been this scared in my life before. I had no idea how a song could lead to death but after what happened to Nora and Mick, I can’t take any risk. I quickly stood up and began looking for the music box" I have to destroy that creepy-looking box now before it does any more damage " I whispered to myself.I looked through the bookshelf’s and chairs but couldn’t trace the exact location the music was coming from “ Where is this stupid box " I yelled I turned back and saw Liv shivering, her eyes staring at the couch " Liv are you okay? " I said as I came closer to herIt was like she wasn’t able to move " Liv what happened? " She didn’t say a word as she kept staring at the couch, I looked at the couch but didn’t see anything. " Liv! Liv! are you okay, please say something you’re scaring me " I sobbedI turned back and Lyon wasn’t in the room" Lyon where are you " I yelled What
ILLUSION Chapter twenty three
We sat on the library couch for hours wondering where to start looking. We would have started the search if Liv wasn't feeling a little bit weak and we don’t want to leave her alone.She rested on Lyon’s labs as he flirted with her hair" How are you feeling now babe? "" Much…better," she said with stutterShe adjusted her position and sat upright, she took bottled water which was kept by the side of the couch and drank a certain amount from it.We had no idea what to do next, non of us has witnessed something like this before. I’m still living with the shock that a medium-sized music box led to the death of my friends and it’s now terrifying my life." Guys I just don’t seem to understand it, I mean I have experienced the terror of the music box but the most confusing part is how did Melody survive the music "" There is nothing to understand about, we can’t take any chances of getting killed so I want you’ll to pack your bags, we are leaving this house, " Lyon said " He’s right,….
ILLUSION Chapter twenty four
I searched almost everywhere but haven’t found anything reliable" This is a waste of time," I thought We have been searching the library for hours but couldn’t find anything single thing that will explain what has been happening " Liv did you find anything yet " I announced " Nothing here, " Liv said " How about you Lyon, have you found anything, " I said but there was no response, my eyes glistened in fear as I looked around and noticed Lyon wasn’t in the room " Where is Lyon? " I instantly asked " What do you mean, his right over…" she said as she turned back and noticed his absence. " Babe! where are you " she yelled as her voice began to shake in fear She turned back and looked at me, her eyes already full of tears.I quickly rushed and peeked at the window which I threw the music box “ The music box is gone " I panicked Liv had already started crying when we heard Lyon’s voice from afar " Guy’s come here right now " His voice didn’t sound like he was in danger or any
ILLUSION Chapter twenty five
After I applied ointment on Liv’s hand, I bandaged it before we went back to the room to open it."Aren’t you gonna rethink your decision before you open the door?" Liv asked "No babe, like we said we have no choice if the worse comes out of it then we have to just deal with it" Lyon said as he knelt and took a deep breath before placing the key into the keyhole Liv seems to be more worried especially when Lyon said 'if the worse comes out of it we will deal with it' I turned around and looked at her, she was trying to calm herself down but unfortunately her eyes revealed the whole truth."It’s gonna be fine" I whispered as I placed a hand on her shoulder.She smiled at me but I could sense that she was forcing the smile.Lyon unlocked the door padlock and gently removed the padlock from the door before he opened the door which made an uncomfortable creaking noise.Immediately the door opened, and we looked at each other wondering who will step inside first when Lyon walked in, I

THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW "The unfortunate. I think I know what it means, the unfortunate are those who have the power to dream. That means the music didn’t kill me because it can’t and that’s the same reason why it didn’t kill her, the music only complied her to kill herself because it only has the power to torture her” she said as she wiped her tears "It does really matter now, even if the music can’t kill me, I won’t be able to leave the rest of my life in this house with the memories of my friend's death" she whimpered She kept thinking about how she will stop the music alone, she can’t possibly do that alone, she needs someone to help her."Lyon! why,” she cried out As her tears roll down to her chin, she heard a knock on the door "Vickie, open the door why did you lock it inside.” She wiped her tears before she held the door handle and stood up."Open the door.” he yelled as he kept knocking on the door.She stood behind the door, she didn’t know what to do as she kep

THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW Immediately she saw the body, the box slipped from her hands and fell to the floor. She had already lost balance and was on the ground, she had no idea how to react, as tears rolled down to her chin. "How is that possible, I saw you, I talked to you some moments ago” she silently sobbed She was on the floor when she heard a voice from afar "I got the diary"She was confused at the moment, Lyon’s body was laid in front of her "Who is the person that just talked, is it possible it is an illusion but that had never happened before” she thought She was extremely terrified, she didn’t understand what was happening, how is that possible Lyon’s body is here, and if this is real then who was she talking to a few minutes from now?She was still on the floor silently sobbing, she had numerous questions and wonders"Why! Why is this happening, she had just seen him and a few seconds from now she heard his voice” she whimpered Immediately she heard his voice
ILLUSION Chapter thirty five
THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW She kept talking for some minutes when she realized there wasn’t a sound coming from Lyon’s room."Did something happen to him?” she thought "Lyon! Please say something, are you okay, Lyon say something please" she screamed She kept knocking on the door but there wasn’t any response from Lyon. She placed her ear on the door, she wanted to be sure if there was a sound coming from the room or not."Lyon! are you okay, please say something, anything, I just want to make sure you’re fine, Lyon!" she said but there was no response She was terrified, she had already started moaning about his death, she slowly walked towards the center table and sat on it. "Lyon! Lyon! why, why, did you leave me alone? Why, why” she moaned "Why, why did you’ll leave me alone, Mick, Nora, Liv, and now you Lyon? Why! Why”She felt left alone, she wanted to kill herself, at least that would be better than staying in a hunted house alone, she could have stopped the music if L
ILLUSION Chapter thirty four
LYON POVImmediately after I slammed the door shut, I locked it from inside. I can’t imagine his life without Liv, she was the only one I have left. She was the only one I was comfortable talking about my emotions with. Where is she when I needed her the most?"Liv!” I screamed as I fell to the ground "Why did you leave me, why did you leave when I need you the most, you were always there for me when I needed you the most, you were with me when mom and dad died, you were always there for me.” He cried out"Why! Why! Why! Why didn’t the music take me away before this happened, why didn’t the music kill us together, why did it decide to take you away first" he whimpered He laid on the cold floor for hours, he could remember the first time he met her, she was just eleven years old when she moved to the neighborhood. They didn’t get along as she was acting like a nerd, her face had pimples on them, she wore oversized medicated goggles, and she was very chubby and short which made her l

THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW Victoria sat on the cold floor, she crossed her legs as she rested her back against the wall.She kept thinking about Lyon, she just hope he doesn’t do anything stupid while he is alone in the room. She wanted to solace him, talk to him, console him but she couldn’t as she wasn’t able to console herself.She silently cried, she has never thought of witnessing someone’s death, almost all her friends are dead, she had no idea where their body is or what exactly happened to them, all she knew was the music box is behind everything and Melody might be the one that created the box.She never thought she would say this but she misses home, she wanted to go back home despite the home she’s talking about has no peace and harmony but it is certainly better than living in an isolated environment where every day is like hell."Nora, why, why did the music take you away from me? Why, why….Mick and Liv are gone too, where are you’ll when I need you the most” she cr

THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW Victoria wasn’t able to talk, she has no voice left in her, "She’s…… Liv…. " she said in a stutter as she continued sobbing "She’s what Victoria, please tell me where she is?”She sighed before she swallowed her saliva "She’s gone, Lyon. Liv is gone.” she whispered Lyon stood in silence for almost a minute before losing balance and falling to the floor "Noooo" he cried outHe had no idea what was going on, he felt more terrified when he found out Liv was dead. Lyon isn’t a person that can handle his emotions, he has no control when it comes to emotions. As he sat on the floor, he remembered his parents, just the way his parents left him that’s the same way Liv left him, without saying goodbye."No! No! No!” he screamed "It’s the music, that’s what it wants us to think, but we aren’t dumb, we can’t think that way right? I know Liv, she can’t possibly leave me alone in this horrible house. She always told me she will be with me forever, she won’t le

THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW Lyon had been looking for Liv for almost thirty minutes, he had checked everything room downstairs but didn’t find her, he decided to check the room upstairs. Shortly after he entered the fifth room upstairs, he heard a scream "That was Vickie's voice,” he thought "Vickie! Vickie!” he rapidly yelled immediately after he peeked and saw her lying on the floor “Lyon, help me” she moaned "Vickie! Vickie! I’m coming, what happened to you" he said as he rushed down the stairs "Oh my lord, are you okay? Wait I will help you get up”He looked at her bleeding foot, he was about to help her stand up when he heard Liv scream from the room next to his."Babe" he instantly screamed as he was about to walk towards the room he heard Liv’s voice, he glanced at Victoria who was lying on the ground hopeless mostly because she didn’t have an option, bit by bit she could feel her eyes closing. Lyon didn’t know who to help first, as he stood in the middle of the room.
ILLUSION Chapter thirty
VICTORIA POV"She had no choice but to sacrifice herself" I said "That’s the end, there isn’t anything written on the next page," I said as I closed the book"Are you sure?" Lyon asked " Yes, I can’t believe this, almost everything that happened to her happened to me, the well, the insect, almost everything, and her mom got missing just the way Mick got missing. But I don’t understand who Melody is.”"She’s no worse than a devil, Melody is the cause behind everything.”“Do you think she’s the one who created the music box?”"I don’t know, but there has to be something we are missing in that diary,” Lyon said before he grabbed the book from my hands. As he grabbed the book he flipped the pages "Wait a minute, there is something written on the last page.” he whispered to himself "Let me see that"I grabbed to book from his hands and read it out loud "From your birth to your grave, the music follows you all the way. You don’t find the music it founds you. Giving attention to the
ILLUSION Chapter twenty nine
LIV POVVickie was reading the diary audibly when I saw a shadow, or should I say something that looks like a shadow, it was moving strangely towards the library door. I was frightened when I saw it coming toward me"Vickie! Babe! Something is coming our way. It’s right over there" I panicked as I pointed at it I turned around and looked at Victoria and Lyon who were still focused on reading the diary. It was like they didn’t hear me nor did they acknowledge my presence "Babe, something is coming, I don’t know what it is but it’s right over there" I said as I pointed at it.They didn’t move an inch, which was very terrifying, Lyon and Vickie will never ghost me like that especially when I’m talking about something very important."Babe, listen to me there is something over there, we have to leave this room urgently before anything happens" I said immediately after I stood right in front of him."Babe! Vickie! say something, why are you guys still reading the diary, we have to go n
