The young man walked into the house after she had opened the door and got to work immediately installing the cameras at every corner Melanie had asked him to, Melanie couldn’t deny the fact that she was fidgeting, scared of the fact that Charles might come home sooner or later and her game would finally be up, she was sure that so far she have been doing a good job but screwing it up was the last thing she ever wanted to do, she knew she needed to make both Charles and Rose pay for all they have done to her but this means she also needs to be smarter than they are and prove to them that she was never going to remain dumb for the rest of her life just like they had hoped, she watched as the man installed it all and when he was finally done, she grinned and thanked him, she escorted him to the door and asked him to thank Mr James for her, he nodded with a bold smile and left with his tool bag.
Though Brenda was stuck writing her homework, she still noticed their wer
The sky was gradually getting dark, Melanie stood in front of her room watching the birds fly in groups to their various nests, the atmosphere looked a lot busy with the sounds of their wings clapping in the air and their whistling making the night look even more busier than it should, she folded her hands across her chest rubbing them gently, the weather was a little chilly though it made her feel cold but she loved the feeling, she smiled at intervals at the thought of all she have been achieve that day, she felt super proud of herself and the fact that she didn’t let anything stop her, she was glad she took the bull by the horn but on a second thought, she wondered why she didn’t recover all these years, she sighed deeply and ran her hand across her forehead acknowledging the fact that everything does happen for a reason, maybe if Charles and Rose had made sure she was taking her drugs and going for medical checkups, she would have gotten better all these while, she b
Brenda turned to her and shook her head “I am looking for nothing mother, I am rather looking for a person.”Melanie arched her brow dropping the napkin on a table “something like what?”“I overheard you talking to someone just before I knocked, where is the person? Who were you talking to?” She inquired looking really ready to ask more questions.Melanie took a quick glance around the house and chortled “you and I have been the only ones at home since you got back from school, your father isn’t back and who do you think would be in my room at this hour, come on… I am so sure you heard wrongly.”Brenda stared at her, she couldn’t understand it, something seemed off and unusual about her mother, though she couldn’t press her finger on what it was exactly but she was so sure that something wasn’t right “but who were you talking to mum?”She shook her head &ldqu
Charles made her stand grabbing her by the hair and hitting her head against the table.Brenda yelled at once, she couldn’t stand the sight of him maltreating her mother, it was getting too much to bear, tears were already curling up on her cheeks leaving them soaked with more and more tears “leave her alone! Stay away from her you monster!” She cried out.Charles turned to her and gasped, he couldn’t believe that little Brenda could now stand up against him, something her mother would never be able to do “what did you just say?” He asked.Brenda was quiet, she wondered if she made a mistake by speaking up, perhaps she ended up making the issue worse meanwhile Melanie could barely see a thing, she was just laying there with blood all over her face at the mercy of Charles who might end up killing her that night and sending her to her early grave, Charles grabbed Melanie by the hair and forced her to stand despite the fact that
He hurried down stairs few minutes later, his eyes bloodshot and his hands covered in stains of blood, he looked frustrated and at the same time bitter, looking like a captain who’s ship capsized, he hated himself over and over again batting hard on his lips, what was he to do to get over this guilt and pain he felt in his chest? He felt lost and totally empty, he was really beginning to understand what he stands to loose if Rose finally succeeds with whatever plans she had up her sleeves since she already had those documents, he dragged his feet closer to the bar, for a moment he fixed his stare at a bottle of whiskey which was carefully sitting right there, it looked a little dusty though but that didn’t stop him from admiring but it would taste like, perhaps he could drown his fear and pains in it, perhaps he could give his night aware to alcohol and his heaviness in his chest might be lifted off, he shut his eyes for a moment placing both of his hands on his head, he
The room was dark, a little candle was lit and placed at the corner of the room, though the light was tiny but it saturated the room so well making it brighter than it ought to be, it’s obvious that their was a little spark of magic used to enable to light shine brighter, it was Azora’s room, it looked a little scary and at the same time empty, Carmella lay still on the bed with her eyes shut, animal skin was used to cover a part of her body while a warm clothe was placed on her forehead to normalize her body temperature. Azora stood outside pacing the front of her house, she looked very unhappy and unpleased with the turn out of events, what scares her most is the possibility that Carmella might not be able to survive though she had tried her best to stabilize her, she shook her head in pain knowing that the death of Carmella would only mean that all her plans would fall like a pack of cards and she would spend the rest of her life living right there in the forbidden pa
The ghost took glances at each, they wore a long face which gave away their anger making them look even more scarier than they were supposed to look, they were quiet and for that moment Azora enjoyed the silence, her head was boiling hot with confusion on to the next line of action to take and so was she scared of what the ghost’s verdict might be, she knew how cruel they were and how much they hated incompetence especially when it’s coming for someone they have trusted with more than enough and believe that it’s impossible for her to fail with such power at her disposal, she could barely lift up her eyes to look at their faces, she slowly picked on her fingers praying silently that she is granted a second chance to prove that she is worthy of their trust and can carry out the assignments given to her accordingly, she took a glance at her house, the door was widely open so she could clearly see when Carmella wakes up, now she was getting even more worried that it w
The third ghost opened her mouth to speak but paused when she heard someone coughing from inside the house, Azora’s eyes flew wide open with excitement, Carmella was finally awake, she grinned happily turning to the ghosts hoping this new develop changes their mind, the ghosts only took glances at each other and varnished without saying a word to her, she didn’t know what that means but she was sure that they have decided to give her a second chance, she jerked up on her feet and ran into the house, Carmella was already sitting up on the bed by the time she got there, she was rubbing her hands over her eyes looking like someone who was lost and had woken up from the dead, of course she did wake up from the dead else she was supposed to be dead by then and her corpse dumped where the villagers would find it and the cause of her death would never be traced expect by a witch more powerful than the powers of the ghosts, Azora stood in front of her glaring at her.Carmel
Azora turned to her and chortled “wouldn’t it have been better if I allowed you join your ancestors and languish in the grave you stupid girl? I gave you a mission, a very simple mission but you just couldn’t even carry it out effectively without trying to get yourself killed on the process.”Carmella gasped “what exactly are you talking about? The… the last time I checked I… I.. went to Diana’s house to do exactly what you asked me to do, then I came out and…. I started choking on something” she said looking very confused though she kept stammering in between her statements.Azora shook her head “you still don’t get do you? You are just so foolish, I thought you were a smart girl Carmella, we had an agreement, I sent you to do something that would benefit you and make you the next queen of your village, it’s not like using your real face to meet your sister wasn’t provoking enough d
