The Reckoning
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56It 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

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 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 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 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 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 The Beginning of the End
My hands are shaking as I held a blade over my pulse. My palms are sweaty and cold, tears stream from my eyes as the past events in my life unfold before me. I watch my life rewind with an emotionless stare as all I feel now is that I am so lost. Hopeless. Sad. Alone. I could hear my breathing as it comes out fast. I'm scared but I feel like this is the only way to escape. To stop the madness that is creeping on me. The terror gripped me. I no longer want to live. I cannot see myself walking this earth anymore as life has repaid me nothing but sorrow, pain, and endless melancholy. I gave everything into the universe, all the love, joy, and hard work that I can do, I gave my life my all, but it failed me. I failed me. I was not designed to be amongst the living. I do not deserve to live anymore. The bubbly, happy girl is gone. All I am is a pathetic lost soul. Hollow and wretched I walk
Lost Soul Burying the Dead
It is a bright summer day, the birds are chirping, the sun is shining brightly. It is a big contrast to what this day is. It’s Hannah’s funeral. It is quite a big event, flowers everywhere at the chapel and a whole lot of people. Looking at each of them one by one, none of them cared for Hannah. I see a bunch of her so-called friends and a whole lot of our mom’s friends. I look at them with disdain and I can’t help but feel a lump in my throat forming, as I see my mom demurely accept condolences from her people looking so distraught followed by her fake sniffles. I know for a fact she never cared for her. It’s disgusting. I cannot take it any longer. As the funeral reaches its end. I leave the chapel and drive back to the mansion. As I approach the door, I stop and get a cigarette from my coat pocket, and light it up. I breathe in deeply and savor the calmness it brings me. It is a breath of fresh air for me, when I close my eyes all I see is Hannah’s bloodied body d
Lost Soul Do you remember?
Dearest Matthew, You're probably thinking what kind of morbid thoughts have entered my crazy mind as I am writing to you from the other side. Technically, I'm not yet dead as I was writing this but in my heart and soul, I've long been dead. Matt, you know you were the only one that has always been there for me. Sometimes I feel sorry for you, for always having my back with all the insane things I've done and yet I still get into trouble all the time. But hey, it's not your fault, it's just that mom and your dad hate me to the core of their bones. Don't worry, I was not crying while writing this. I have long accepted my fate that my own mother will never love me the way she loves you and our siblings. And your dad, don't get me started. He doesn't even acknowledge that I exist. He pretends all the time that I'm some distant bad dream that if he pinches himself just hard enough, I will vanish. I don't blame him because he never saw me as his daugh

"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
Lost Soul Let the Games Begin
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
