“Open the damn door!” Roy yelled his fist banging on her door. Beryl cried softly while leaning behind the door. Her face was swollen, her upper jaw was bruised, her nose was broken. She was a mess.
“Darn it!” He yelled.
And ruffled his hair.
“Baby am sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt you. Baby, just opened up okay. I’ll buy you a lot of chocolates. Your favorite. We could see your favorites movie in the cinema. We could play games. Cuddle all night. Listen to you while you...”
“Just go away.”
“Don’t tell me to..?” He howls, and hit his hands on the door again, harder than the first time.
“Baby, am sorry, am truly am. Let&rsqu
"Dixon has nothing, theres no one on his side anymore, getting rid of him wouldn't be any problem..he's just.."“He’s still my son Peru.” “He’s still gonna be your son when he destroys you.”“That’s enough Peru.” “You just gotta face the truth.” He hands the French tea to him. He took it from him. Throwing everything down his throat. It moves round his body giving him a certain easy, all over. He’s never getting tired of taking this Peru specialty. “We need a plan.” He began, taking a seat beside Albert on the couch. “I don’t think there’s any need for that.”
"Run, Maeve! Run ! Maeve! " The young woman was running, her hair was long, covering her face as she ran, she keep pushing the hair off her face. Holding the little girl hands. She stopped and stoop, holding the little girl by the shoulders. Staring at her blue eyes. “You’ve to run, Don’t let them get you. Baby. I promise to come get you. I’ll come look for you baby. Momma is gonna come for you. Just promise me one thing, you stay alive.” She kissed her little hands and hugged her.“I love you.” She kissed her forehead. “Run, run, Maeve run!”She jerk up from the bed, panting heavily. It felt so real,
She was getting weak again, so weak that she felt it was death coming to her at the moment. Hours ago she was super strong and confident.. she glance down at the middle age woman she had dragged in here like an animal and devour her.She cringe at the sight.What's wrong with her? What could be happening?.Slowly, she saw a figure running towards her...Dixon parked the car, he had just gotten from Linda and hurried out of the car, a man came out as well, neatly dressed, he turned to Dixon."I think this is it, I saw her here, according to your description, it had to he her. But I didn't see her face, her hair was pretty long and it was covering her face.." he paused and looked at Dixon properly.
"You have to check this part and that part as well, have those men set..." "Albert!" "Where is he?" "In his study.." "Albert!" In a split second, the door of the study flung opened. Albert pushed the files and books on his desk aside and place his elbows on them. "Leave us santus" Santus now and left, shutting the door behind him. "Why did you have to punish Bruce, despite knowing he isn't .." "Is that why you marched in here, did you perhaps asked what he did? Besides just twelve strokes won't do much harm "
Bruce smile as the soft hands keep working on his hair, slowly he opened his eyes, searching for those hands and Linda face came in view stroking his hair."Holy moly!"He jumped down from his bed."What in the name of....""Must you make a fuss of everything "He ruffled his hair."Mom""How are you son"He almost roll his eyes."Shouldn't you be asking Dixon that ""What's wrong asking you ""Mom, you hardly ask me since your priorities are on Dixon not me"L
Another day had passed, he was still on the clothes from yesterday, the pizza he ordered, was staring back at him. He couldn’t eat even a slice from it. He had to distract the detective tailing him. Yesterday. He wasn’t safe anymore. And he doesn’t know if she was okay. He wanted her here. He was stupid, he had accept that. Right now, he needed to see Maeve because he’s going insane.“You’re really going insane.” The sing song voice came again. This time from the pizza. He almost cried. “I keep hearing voices. What’s wrong with me?”“Everything is wrong with you.”“I agree with you on that..” he exhaled and rolled hi
“She’s here with me.” “Is this a prank or what. Why would she be here?” He had came in a while ago, Met Dr. Green in front of his porch waiting for him. He was leading him into the house. “Why would I do that. She’s here. I’m not joking, I thought it’s time you know, her whereabouts and if she’s ready to go with you.” “Where is she?”“In there.”Dixon exhale, holding the door knob, she was in there. He wanted to go in so badly, but his feet and hands won't move an inch. He turned to Dr green who was staring back at him."Let's talk for a while."
Dr. Green smiled moving away from the door. He hadn’t mean to eavesdrop, he just happened to walk past and heard their voices. He hurried to his kitchen, brewing some coffee. For them. Barely able to contain his smile. “We’re leaving, Dr.Green..” Dixon announced from the door. Dr. Green turned to them, standing by the door of the kitchen. He looked down at their intertwined fingers. “So soon, stay for some...”“We’ve a lot of things to do. Thank you for everything.” “I think I’ve to keep saying that, you didn’t have to thank me, I’m glad I could help..”“Well you guys have to catchup, I can’t stop you anyway, make sure to call anytime you need my help.
“Cheers to a good life,” Mark said lifting his glass on the table. Everyone seated at the table lifted their glasses with a smile, Dixon's hands were intertwined with Maeve as he kept caressing them over the table. She smiled at him.“Cheers.” They clicked their glasses. And sips from it.Dixon stood up, still holding his glass.“I wanna make a toast to the ones we lost on the way, the two important persons in my life, my first go to Ms... Theresa, without her playing her major role in our lives, this won’t have happened, and to the one who was more of a brother to me...”“I still can’t believe you had another brother aside from me.”“Shut up Bruce.” Linda laughed.
Roy ran into the house. Shutting the door immediately he entered. He was panting, he had been so scared a while ago, so scared, he didn’t expect to see her like that. And everything now had been in vain. Just like that. Now, this happened. She must be dead now, she must have killed her, Anika was probably dead. There are no two ways about it because of the looks she has on her face. There’s no way anyone survives that.He raced to the bedroom and slumped on the bed. With his hands on his chest. What a narrow escape, it was still late in the night, dark and awfully quiet. Beryl stole a glance at him. And looked away, she didn’t say anything. She pretended that she was still chained to the bed. Still, glued to where he left her, she shut her eyes pretending not to notice him or do anything or say anything to him. The bastard, this was his night. She remained on spot Waiting for him to come to her."Hey babe"
When Dixon woke up, he was in the hospital, his head was bandaged, Bruce was by his side. And he felt so weak and tired.“You’re awake.”He nods.“How long have I been here?”“Twenty hours.”“what?” He tried standing up from the bed.“Hey, stop, don’t try standing.”“It’s the almost full eclipse. I need to go.”“You ain’t going anywhere.”“What’s the time?”
“Are you the only one in here?” Maeve asked as she was still glancing around.“No, I had just a help from someone you would know, here, have your seat.”Maeve sat down with her gaze on the broken chains and cracked walls, which were still stained with blood.“Who is that?”“Roy, I think you need to show yourself here. Someone needs to see you”Roy, the name was familiar, but she couldn’t sure remember who that was, while she was seated she played with her fingers.Roy came in with a plain look, he didn’t stare at her but looked over her head.&nb
A car slow down in front of her, then stopped, he stare at her through the window. “Maeve!” He called, she turned and stare at him. It was Mark. “What are you doing here?” “Taking a walk.” “Where’s Dixon?” “He isn’t here.” “He left you alone?” “I left him.” “What do you mean, get in the car, I’ll give you a room ride.” “I told you I’m taking a walk. You should leave, you didn’t see me today.” “Maeve, What’s...” The look in her eyes made him silence, he said nothing else and watched her walking away like the dead. She didn’t stare back at him or wave. Unlike the Maeve he knew. Something was wrong then. He didn’t know if he had to follow her or just go away. She left Dixon, because he would never leave her alone. He was always buy her side like glue and now he wasn’t. He searched through his contact list, if he had his contact, but the prick was being a prick, so he doesn’t have it. He didn’t have any of their contacts. Now calling them that he saw her was out of it. He had t
“Why didn’t you tell him!” Eamon yelled at Green, he keeps hitting his fist on the table, biting his lips in annoyance.“You should have told him, how do you expect him to feel when he wakes up and she’s gone. He has every right to know!”Green was pacing in front of him, with so much quilt in him.“I wanted to tell him. She won’t let me, I made a promise to her. That I wasn’t gonna tell him, she told me she was gonna tell him herself. I don’t know. I..”“Dixon will be so mad when he finds out what you’ve done. There were days you could have let it slip out but hell no! You held it in. Told no one. You allow her to bear the pains alone. She alone on that painful and lonely
Dixon stirs and turns to his sides, slowly his eyes open. It was still quite dark and he wasn’t so sure of what the time was yet. But he could guess, it was past four in the morning. He sighed and stood up. Naked. Searching for his pants.Then it hits him.Maeve!She wasn’t by his side.He walked back to the spot where they slept. She wasn’t there. He ran shortly to take up his clothes and slide them on.Where’s she?Her clothes weren’t there either.“Alien!” He yelled. His voice echoed as he shouted.
“Still ain’t gonna tell him anything.” Dr. Green said, making breakfast. He tossed the egg and flipped. Maeve was in the kitchen with him. Drinking the green tea, he had made. Her gaze was elsewhere as she kept on exhaling. While taking the tea.“You don’t seems too good.”He studied her. She was still brooding over something. Her hair was almost white now. Just a little remaining.Today was the last day to him. Since it was the second day, she had to leave Dixon side before the cock crock. And then, he sighed as well.He couldn’t find anything else other than the sacrifice of death. That was the only thing he got. And nothing else.He moved to her side
Maeve watched Dixon sleeps. Staring at his face caressing it with her fingers. He stirred and looked at her with a smile, though still sleepy.“Ain’t you asleep yet. Come lay beside me.”“Ain’t sleepy yet. I’ll join you soon though. I had to go somewhere first.”“Where to? It’s late already.”“I’ll be fine. And it would be a quick meeting.”“Humm. Don’t stay out too late, it would be too cold without you In here.” He closed his eyes again and slept off. She chuckled and brought her head down and kissed his lips.A day was gone.
