The Aftermath
Last Updated:
2022-01-04 12:45:00I've been staying in the mansion for a few days now, as much as I want to go back to my tiny flat in New York. I can't. I have been reading Hannah's letter over and over and I can't seem to get over my guilt. "Do you remember that day Matthew?" her words kept echoing in my mind over and over as I recall that horrid day. I kept on looking for signs of what had happened to Hannah. I just remember after that day she was not feeling well for a week. Nana Rose said she had been sick and she can't play with me because she didn't want me to be sick too. Mom would say I should focus on my homework than bother Hannah. I never thought more about it because I was just a kid too, I thought it was nothing and now, every day knowing what I know now, it kept eating me up inside. I kept thinking to myself what I could have done more.
My thoughts were interrupted by Nana Rose knocking on my door. "Dear, you should get something to eat..." I looked up tenderly to her and said "Thanks Na

I sat down feeling shaken by my confrontation with Matthew. Hands shaking I poured myself a new drink. I know I fucked up but I cannot let Hannah win, the moment she came into my life everything went down in flames. I was so in love with Garret, I never knew that he will become my downfall. I thought he will be my saving grace out of my unhappy marriage and bring my family to a better life. Then Hannah happened. I thought for a moment carrying his child would mean the turn of my luck, yes my luck did turn but for the worse. I remember that night we were at The Rembrandt, we were dining in our suite and as we were just talking while drinking wine, I gently hugged him from behind where he was seated and showed him the pregnancy test and whispered "Surprise darling..." I felt him stiffen to my touch and I knew right then and there it was the end. He stood up and faced me. "Lucy, I can't do this." Tears brimming in my eyes, "Garrett please, I thought you said you love me a

I left our house and I felt more powerful than ever. It felt amazing being able to confront my mother. The look on her face was precious. I could do this over and over again and I still feel that it is not enough and will never be enough for all the things she put me through. Now that I have Matthew at my side I know I will be able to carry out my plans and I could all put this behind me and I can focus on Devon and me.A text message notification pinged on my phone, or rather Cassie's phone "Baby, where are you? I've been worried sick about you," it read. Devon, I thought to myself how easy was it to manipulate everyone. When I was alive everything seemed hard, all the struggles, all the weaknesses I have, who knew being dead was all worth it? I'm still discovering my abilities but right now I just feel so fucking awesome. In a snap, I have it all. Everything that was missing in my life is mine. "Hey baby, sorry I was not feeling so well today, I'll drop by your house

I woke up with a massive headache and my whole body felt battered. I looked around and I see Devon his head on my hand sleeping at the chair beside my hospital bed. I moved my hands and he stirred from his slumber. He looked at me and sat upright and held my hands. "Cassidy, baby, you're awake..." I looked around and asked, "Where am I?" "You're at the hospital, you were in an accident", Devon said to me solemnly. "I don't understand...I remember lying down on my bed and...and there was Hannah." I said, my voice quivering. "No baby, you hit your head pretty bad, you were banged up, you must have been dreaming. Hannah is gone...just take a rest." He said as he went up and pushed the button to call the nurse. As the nurse went in, I saw my parents come into the room, they were all talking, discussing what to do with me next. My mom and dad were hugging me, but I can't get myself to listen. I know that what happened

A few hours before I snapped my mother's neck, she was reading my letter that she found in the drawer of her nightstand as she scrambles to find her sleeping pills. She has not been sleeping. Our last meeting unnerved her so bad plus the fact that I had Matthew slipping LSD into her drinks every day. I told Matthew that was the plan, we would make her go crazy and that was the end of it. Little did he know I wanted something more. I couldn't tell him that being that I was Cassidy when I last talked to him. She thought she's going crazy, she locked herself in her room and drank more and more as she could not find sleep, she would drink pills to help her but the nightmares keep on coming. She sat on her bed, hands shaking she opened my letter and read: Dear Mom, I don't know where to start. A million thoughts are crossing my head and I do not know if I should get to the point or should I mention first that I loved you? I loved you so much mom, but you never

As I went down, I saw Matthew in the living room. He looked up and his expression is grim."Where are you going mom?" he said."Well, I figured I needed some fresh air. I've been cooped up in my room for so long, I cannot let myself waste away you know..." I retorted imitating Lucy as best as I could."Wearing that?" he looked at me up and down. He smirked."Well, I have a date." I blurted back."Mom, seriously? It has not even been a month since your daughter died and you are going on a date?!" Matt said."I'm wearing black aren't I?" my God I sounded just like her, I thought to myself."Just another normal day for Lucy Johnson eh? You never change..." Matt snapped.I smiled and went near him, "You should try going out, it looks like you need it more than I do." I said to him, trying to hide the tug in my heart that I feel whenever I see how heartbroken Matthew is with my death.I hurriedly went out and drove to Car

Daddy, I feel weird as I say this to you because come to think of it, you were never my father. I never had a father. I've written to you several years ago. I sent you an email asking if I can meet you, but you never responded and now I'm writing to you from my grave. Seventeen years and you never reached out to me. Did you even attend my funeral? Did you at least shed fake tears? Do you know how many days and nights I prayed that you will show up at our doorstep and rescue me from the hell I was in? I was 10 years old when I learned the truth. To tell you honestly, I've always felt off, I know there must be a reason for Brandon to hate me so much and why my mom has never shown me any tenderness. I wish she could have told me sooner. Had I known I would have done everything I could to get help, because Brandon raped me when I was 9. He did it almost every day, when he got so sick and died it was the best day of my life. But you see, it's not just about knowing

The blinding lights of the hospital hallway of the hospital are giving me a headache. Damn this body I am in, I feel weak right now. This must have been because Lucy is dead. I really need to get ahead of this possession thing. I'll research this later but for now, I will see Cassidy and toy with her for a while.As I reach Room 515, I see Cassidy sleeping and Devon stood up to greet me. I fight the urge to hug him and kiss him. I need to remember that right now, I'm Mrs. Johnson."Hi, Mrs. Johnson." He said sheepishly, he's still ashamed of what he has done to me that he thought my mother Lucy would even care if he broke my heart, she has broken it a thousand times and now I'm dead and she's dead and I've possessed her body."Hello Devon, I came here to bring flowers." I gave him the vase with a dozen of white Callalillies on it. It's a bit dramatic, but I find it funny, I know Cassie's smart, she will get the message. These flowers symbol

I woke up from the ear-splitting scream of my nurse. "Oh right, Lucy," I thought to myself as I lazily scratch my eyes, the sunlight coming from the window hurting my sleepy eyes. The nurse looked at me horrified and I pretended to be confused."What's happening?" I said."That woman," the nurse said pointing her finger at Lucy.I looked at her and let out a gasp. Lucy was sitting down in the chair her head bent up, mouth open and eyes wide, looking into the endless oblivion of death. "Mrs. Johnson?!" I shouted trying to make myself sound like I was in a panic. "What happened to her?" I said to the nurse. She seemed to have calmed down. She went near her and checked her pulse. "She's dead." said the nurse and hurriedly went outside to ask for help. As she was exiting my room she bumped into Devon with Cassidy's parents behind. "What's the matter?!" my father said worried but the nurse ignored them and proceeded to run to their station. Devon and

Lost Soul Epilogue
I woke up feeling the cold breeze gently caressing my cheeks. As I open my eyes I saw the brightness of day. I stared at the greenery before me and the specks of color here and there from the flowers that intoxicate my senses. The smell was enveloping me, it was a myriad of flowers, peonies, magnolias and lavender all mixed up in a warm comforting scent. I slowly sat up and I saw beside me Devon – so beautiful and peaceful. I looked around and realized we are no longer at the vineyard. We are at a completely different place, a dimension even where everything is bright and colorful, nice and beautiful.I reached out to touched Devon’s lips, so pink and luscious contrasting all the greens, blues, reds and yellows of this meadow. He slowly opened his eyes, all confused as he met mine. As I saw his blue eyes staring at me I saw relief, happiness and love. It made me feel all warm and happy inside. This is a feeling that is alien to me. Every time I feel happiness I used to remember having
Lost Soul Requiem
I was feeling the pain of the sprinkles of holy water being thrown at me, it's like glass cutting through my flesh. I was wailing with pain as every words written in that stupid bible cuts my insides, I can feel my bile rising up my stomach as I vomit brownish green fluids out. I can feel myself weakening. It's as if my soul is being cast out of Cassidy's body.Is this it? I am a devil? The fact that the words of the Holy Bible is slashing my flesh like knives and the holy water like acid burning through my flesh are evidence enough that I have finally lost my last straw of humanity. I tried to hold on to it, for the sake of one last chance on earth, to feel human, to feel loved and to belong, but this, this is not me. I am no longer Hannah, I am the devil himself. My heart is aching not because of the torture the priest is subjecting me to, but because of the hurt I feel, as I feel my last chance to have a happy normal life, slipping away from me.How did it come to this? How did my
Lost Soul Happy Birthday
I stood before the french doors leading to the balcony, admiring the view before me. As I opened the doors and walked out, the fresh cool afternoon air greeted me. I walked towards the balcony and I marbled at the sight before me, a myriad of greens, blues, purples, and reds as the sight of the vineyard unfolded before me. I took it all in and smiled, a bitter smile. How ironic that my daughter lived in this beautiful place but never once saw the beauty of it? She was consumed by darkness, hate, and suffering. She deserved a good life, but it's too late. Instead, here I am successful in my quest to avenge her, and more than anything else, I am a ridiculously rich man, all thanks to Hannah and Lucy. It could have been great spending these glorious days ahead with them but there's nothing I can do. They are gone now and all that's left is me. The smell of sausage and tuna pasta greeted me as the staff put down the food for me and my guest. I was suddenly transported to the present momen
Lost Soul Thy Will Be Done
I have been tracking Hannah rather Cassidy for a while now. I downloaded spyware to track her phone and her whereabouts. Nothing out of the ordinary right now, Matthew said to himself. She has been spending time with Devon in his house. He flinches at the idea of her sister still being with that guy who broke her heart. She's dead and yet that did not stop her from going after what she wants."I need to help her, I need to save her soul..." he said as he sets down his coffee on the old garden set that can be found in the monastery of Saint Jude's just outside the City. He went there to meet with the priest that he searched on the internet that performs an exorcism."It will not be easy..." said Father Paul Revere. "Matthew, son, she is already in full control of Cassidy's body. It will need someone who truly loves her and believes in the goodness of her heart to perform this ritual. I cannot guarantee any promises."Matthew scoffed "I need to save he
Lost Soul I Got You
I was shaken by my confrontation with Matthew. I almost killed him, I could if I wanted to. I'm so conflicted right now. I need to do something about him, but I can't. He's my brother and when I was alive, he was the only one who gave me all the love that I wanted. But now, it seems like I'm running out of options. I need to get rid of him...or I can do what I need to do with Garrett soon.I need to think about my next steps, but right now, I just need Devon by my side. To feel again, to feel human. What happened with Matthew is so new to me, it's the very first time that powers like that manifested from me. I am scared of myself but I cannot shake the darkness within me that screams havoc wherever I go.I grabbed my keys and drive to Devon's house. I knocked at his door and he opened it. He's always alone so I know he will be there. "Hey..." I greeted him with a bitter smile."Hey baby, are you okay?" Devon replied."I guess...I just feel
Lost Soul The Reckoning
It has been 3 days since I was released from the hospital if it were for me, I would have walked out the second I got Cassidy's body back, but I need to play a part. That part right now is to look like a dutiful daughter trying to get better after a horrific accident. I need to stick to being Cassidy and not let anything slip, especially right now that Matthew is convinced that I am me. News of the Johnson family Scandal is still wreaking havoc on my family. Our vineyards are closed, sales massively went down as people boycott our products. Day by day Garrett's plan is happening and leaks of a negotiation to sell with my family emerge. I just wait on the sidelines, waiting for the perfect timing to end his life. I want him to get everything he wants only to die a terrible death, a lonely one, he will die alone and unhappy, just as I did. My thoughts were disturbed by the knock on the door. It must be one of the servants checking up on me, I thought to myself. "Come i
Lost Soul Emotional Damage
"Oh, hey Matt." Devon suddenly appeared by the door with a bunch of flowers and pizza. I can smell that it was Hawaiin flavor. I hate pineapples on pizza. Damn. But Devon's arrival couldn't have been more perfectly timed.I smiled at him and said "Hey baby, is that Pizza?! Oh thank goodness, I'm already starving, you know how hospital food tastes like.""I know, and since you have been feeling better I know you'd want something to eat so I brought your favorite." he said."Thanks baby, good thing also that Matthew was still here to keep me company. It was so nice of him. Would you like to join us Matt?"Matthew looked at me intently and said, "No thanks, I better go meet my sisters at the house, they must be panicking right now."I looked at him straight in the eyes and said, "When I get out of here, we should probably hang out and catch up.""Yes, I would like that." Matthew said solemnly. He stood up and tapped Devon on the sho
Lost Soul Whatever It Takes
"And so it has began," Garrett thought to himself, drinking coffee while watching the television for the news. Dozens of reporters can be seen right outside the mansion of the Johnsons, a clip shows two cadillacs speeding past the crowd and inside the gates. The cars were chased by a group of reporters but they were met by security personnels all wearing black suits and immediately closed the gates. He smiled at the sight admiring his handywork, he could almost taste victory. He put his feet up at the center table in the living room and spread his arms open resting on the couch. He leaned to get his mug and take a sip of his coffee once again when a familiar face pops up, the news says "Found Dead inside a room in St. John's Hospital." He dropped the mug and it hit the marble floor as it shattered to pieces and coffee spilled everywhere, staining his crisp white sofa and cream colored carpet. He was stunned, he hurriedly grabbed for the remote and turned up the
