Dennis walked out of the house and joined Kelsey in the car. He mounted the driver's seat. Kelsey was stamping her left leg slightly.Dennis wrapped the seat belt around him and Kelsey did the same. He cleared his throat loudly and She thought he wasn't done scolding her."When we get to my parent's house, we must be of best behaviour." He said with both hands on the speedometer.Kelsey turned toward him. "You don't have to tell me that Dennis. I'm not going to march into your parent's home and start wrecking things.Dennis sighed. " By being of best behaviour, I mean we need to keep our act straight. We are going there as a couple right so we must act like one."Kelsey nodded. "I understand.""We have to prove to them that we are deeply in love to avoid any form of suspicion so we must be conscious of our words and gestures."Kelsey stopped stamping her leg. "Noted. So is there anything else I should know about?""My parents might ask you questions about me," Dennis said. "Well, I
Kelsey took the utensils to the table and spotted a vacant chair between Dennis and his brother Peter. She pulled the chair and sat after placing the utensils on the table."Help yourself!" Peter said and pushed a bowl before Kelsey. She smiled and uncovered a plate.Peter leaned over and whispered into her right ear. "Don't be shy because it's your first time in our home. Hunger has no emotions so relax and eat to your fill."Kelsey giggled and nodded repeatedly. "Peter, if you are going to crack a joke, you might as well yell it out so everyone can laugh." commented his father."That will be great. I mean, we all deserve to laugh too." Dennis responded.Peter smiled and passed the bowl of sauce his mother just handed him to Kelsey. "I just wanted miss pretty here to feel at home." he blinked.They all set their plates and were soon eating. "Ben, you don't want much sugar in your tea right?" Kate asked her husband."You know I like it Kate but you still went ahead and asked. Of cou
Kelsey's eyes widened and a surprised expression covered her face. She wanted to scream at Dennis for not informing her prior about his journey but she decided to keep her cool. They were standing before his parents after all. Why didn't he tell her about his trip? How could he take such a decision about her stay? What If she doesn't wish to stay with his parents? she wondered and flashed a fake smile. "It will be nice to have Kelsey around the house. It will give us more time to bond. We will be glad to have her." Ben said with a smile. "Of course Ben, we will get to know her more," responded Kate. She turned to Kelsey. "Right Kelsey?" Kelsey agreed with a nod. "At least, I'll have someone to talk to about girly stuff when I come around. These people can be boring sometimes," commented Alice. "That's true Alice. You guys are going to have so much fun." Evan said. "I'm more excited about your staying here Kelsey. Even if it's going to be for a while. And guess what, we will go to
Kelsey returned from college and met Dennis sitting in the living room. Beside him was a small luggage box. Immediately Kelsey walked into the room, he rose to his feet."Welcome back. I was waiting for you to arrive," he said.Kelsey replied. "Is there a problem? I can see you are all set for your trip.""Why don't you go upstairs and pack up? I'll wait right here. I'll drop you at my parent's before I head out for my trip." He told her."There is no need for that.""What are you saying?"Kelsie sighed and dropped her schoolbag on the couch. "What I'm asserting is that there is no point packing. I don't want to leave here.""You must be joking." Dennis retorted. "You want to stay here by yourself?""Well, you should have asked me whether I could cope before you went ahead and announced to your parents that I'll be coming over and now it appears that I can cope," Kelsey said."I can't let you stay here Kelsey and please, let's not argue about this. Go in there, pack your stuff and joi
Kate led Kelsey into a room. "You'll stay here until Dennis returns." Kelsey dropped her school bag on the table and bounced on the bed.Kate smiled. "I hope you like the room." Kelsey stood up and moved to the window, she ran her hands through the curtain and turned to Kate with a warm smile."I love the room. Thank you so much." Kate blinked at her."Get some rest. Dinner is by 7. If you need anything, let me know." Kate said and walked out of the room.Kelsie changed into casual outfits and slept till evening. She woke up around 5 pm and traced her way to the kitchen. Kate was already setting dinner and Peter was doing the dishes."Welcome home Kelsie. Mom told me that you were sleeping when I walked in." Peter said with a smile."Yes. Dennis dropped me this afternoon."Kelsey took charge of the carrots and chopped them. She worked on the vegetables too. Before 7 pm, dinner was set and Ben joined them at the table."Kelsey, do you like your room?" Ben demanded immediately he sat.
When Kelsey and Janet walked into the classroom. The girls couldn't take their eyes off Kelsey. She forced Janet to go for the seats in the last row hoping that the unfriendly stares from the girls won't reach her. After the class, Janet and Kelsey hurried out with the rest of the students and stood a few meters away from the entrance waiting for Peter to show up and he did.Peter saw Kelsey standing beside a girl whose head was lowered. He walked up to them."Janet!" Kelsey called out and she raised her head."Meet Peter."Janet stared at Peter for a while without a word. She then extended her hand and shook him. She smiled halfway and heaved a deep sigh."Hi, .. Janet...I'm Janet." she stammered. Janet had only known Peter from a distance and had never stood before him."She's the only friend I've got over here. She was the one that introduced me to Rovado." Kelsey said."That's amazing. She's a good friend. Any friend who takes you to Rovado in this college is a friend indeed." Pe
When Peter and Kelsey returned home from school that evening, Peter told his parents about Bryan's birthday party, stating that Kelsey was invited.At first, Kate and Ben objected stressing that the event might be dangerous since it was held at night. They also said that Dennis might not agree with the idea.Peter convinced them that it was unnecessary to tell Dennis about it, claiming that his elder brother was such a bore and Kelsey was looking forward to it. They asked Kelsey about it and she shared her interest with them. Ben and Kate finally gave their approval after Peter promised to take care of Kelsey at the party.On the day of Bryan's birthday, Kelsey picked out a short maxi dress. The event was slated for 7 pm. She adorned her hair with colourful ribbons and wore flexible sandals. She applied a little make-up and at 6: 30 pm, she and Peter were ready to leave the house."Let's go," Peter said and they stepped into the car."You look lovely by the way."Kelsey smiled and mu
Kate stood up and moved toward Dennis. He was in a fit of rage and was pacing back and forth. Sweats were already lined up on his forehead."Peter made us a promise. You know Peter. He doesn't break his promises easily." Kate tried to console Dennis. "Kelsey will be fine," she added.Dennis stood still. "What if he gets distracted? Or what if he gets drunk? Who is going to watch over Kelsey?" Dennis fired. Both his hands were on his waist. "You guys shouldn't have let her go out in the first place?""Peter knows how much you care about Kelsey so trust me, son, he'll do anything he can to keep her safe," Ben said. He tried to hold Dennis but the troubled Dennis drifted backwards."Dad the problem might not be Peter. I know how Kelsey can get sometimes. She can be overexcited, very naive and sometimes a hot head. What if she gets so hyper and ends up doing what she's not supposed to?" Dennis pointed out. "I just hope nothing goes wrong," replied Kate."Damn it!" Dennis screamed and kic
After what seemed like seven eternities to Denis, ~b~ was finally done. He traced the car out of the pack to an abandoned village just outside of it. It was like a small community of outcasts and displaced wolves that have fallen from grace or that needed a place to hide. A town of misfits, simply put. “I already sent for your men.” Peter said tossing Denis the car key.“I don’t need my men to kill that bitch.” Denis answered stomping out of the room.“But you might need them to clean up after.” Peter yelled running after him.Denis drove like he had more than one life. He grip the steering wheel the same way he intended to grip Janet's neck and his jaw was clenched so tight.“You're going to get us both killed!” Peter yelled. He also enjoyed driving fast but Denis was way past his speed limit and he was beginning to cherish his life way more than he ever did.“Hold on tight.” Denis said and went even faster than before, speeding past all the cars on the vast road.They were sooner t
~b~ arrived at the hospital after he had put theentire pack on lockdown. He texted Denis to inform him of his arrival and Denis called and asked him to meet them at the last door to the left, upstairs where they went to check security footage but the only thing ~b~ heard over all the loud whispers of the nurses was security footage.The whole hospital knew there was something big going on, rumors had spread like wild fire but just like every rumor, none of them were accurate. It was all hear-say, everyone has a different story of the same incident. When ~b~ asked for directions to the room where Denis asked to meet, no one asked him questions like they would have on a normal day. Peter, Denis and Ophelia were staring at thecomputer screen, the CCTV footage from the nursery was playing. Everything that happened there earlier was unfolding right before their eyes. They all watched the nurses put the baby in their cot and leave. They also saw them wave to the nurse in charge of the bab
Denis stormed out of the room in anger pushing past Ophelia.“Make sure she’s fine.” He ordered pointing at an unconscious Kelsey before walking through the door. He ransacked his pocket to call the first person he always seems to call whenever there’s trouble. “There is a problem.” “I'll be right there.” ~b~ answered without any hesitations whatsoever “Wait.” Denis said without a warning that he was still on the phone and it almost made ~b~ jump out of his pants.“I need the entire pack on lockdown, no one goes in and no one goes out!”“Got it.” ~b~ said and this time remembered to end the call. Ophelia comes running towards Denis with yet another bad news. There’s only so much a man can take. “S—si—si” she stuttered because Denis' glare had made even the words scared of coming out.“Speak!” Denis yelled like he was not aware of the power of his glare.“Yo—yo—your wife.” His glare got even more intense, it was burning a whole through Ophelia's shaky body.“What happened to my
Kelsey was brought to the healer’s house where she was to deliver her babies. Denis puthis hand over her shoulder and tried to pacify her but Kelsey was not buying any of it. She continued to scream and unconsciously scratch Denis neck with her claws but Denis didn’t mind it. He knew she was in pain and he could almost physically feel her pain too.“It’s going to be okay.” He told her but she glared at him and yelled that it was not going to be.“My babies are not due yet!” She told him and even though he lost track of the due date while he was busy searching for her and didn’twhether she was right or wrong, he nodded in agreement. The healer finally came to save Denis from his wife and she was taken to the delivery room.She still continued to yell at the healer but the healer had seen enough women in labor in her laugh time to know that Kelsey's behavior was completely normal. “You need to explain why my babies are coming now instead of the due date!” Kelsey demanded and the healer
And there it was. The silence Denis literally killed for. Simon's manic laughter no longer filled the air and now what they were left with was Jerry’s silent sobs. “You better start talking if you know what’s good for you.” Denis said and Jerry starts to wail even louder. “I have no idea what he was talking about, I swear. Simon spent most of his years trapped inside a clinic, you can’t believe everything that came out of his mouth.” Jerry said vigorously wiping his tears while staring at Simon's body.“You’re the liar!” Kelsey shrieked. Denis arms were still wrapped around her keeping her in place. “I’m not lying I swear! I didn’t kill your parents.” Jerry continued to defend himself and it pissed Kelsey off even more. “I saw the fucking pictures, you sick stalker! I saw everything!” Kelsey finally blurted outhaving kept it in for too long, she had had enough of Jerry’s lies. Jerry went stiff, his tears that were falling endlessly seized and it seemed like something got stuck in
The road to the cabin was hardly even a road. It was just a thick fog of leaves and trees, basically a forest but with tire tracks.“I thought you said your family used to come here?” Denis growled at Jerry when the car bumped into something for the umpteenth time. “We used to, like a million years ago.” Simon snapped back, he was in an uncomfortable state at the back, therefore taking all the hit of the car. He’d bumped his head a million times, he was sure it was going to give in and crack anytime soon.“I think they’re building something out here.” Peter commented. “These tire tracks, they’re not just your regular tire tracks, it’s definitely from a heavy machine, look how deep it sunk.”“I don’t give a shit what they’re building, it’s out of my jurisdiction and I just want Kelsey.” Denis answered and increased his speed ignoring every bump on the way and letting Jerry bear the brunt of it “It’s the other way.” Jerry said pointing with his head.“You better not be bullshitting
Denis felt relief wash through his skin.Kelsey was fine. His woman was alive! He didn’t let the feeling of relief lag his brainthough.Kelsey was alive but she was also in danger and she had called him to rescue her. He couldn’t afford to make any mistakes.“Was that really Kelsey?” ~b~ asked worriedly when he saw the look on Denis' face. They were about to go another drive around the pack when he stopped walking and started acting like he was possessed and he could see ghosts but when he mentioned Kelsey, it started to make more sense.“Yes and I need your help with something.”Denis answered quickly. “What?” ~b~ asked readily. “I need you to help me find some place, Kelsey gave me a description but I can’t figure it out.”“Sure, I’ll grab my computer.” He said and ran back inside while Denis trailed after him with the same speed.Everyone turned to look at them when they burst through the door. “What’s going on?” Kate shrieked asking the question on everyone’s mind. “Kelsey reac
His call didn’t last as long as Kelsey would have hoped which was forever. He was back in a few minutes and he returned to his initial position, only this time his knife was no longer with him. He had mindlessly dropped it when his phone rang a few minutes before, but he was still unaware that it was missing.“I can’t say this enough but I’m going to make you miserable.” Simon said and Kelsey sobbed, dabbing her tears with the back of her left hand and concealing the knife. She had stretched herself beyond her capacity trying to get the knife when Simon dropped it and she had succeeded and her it hurt a little below her belly. “I’m going to make you mine forever but I’m never going to love you.” His words were like stab wounds to Kelsey’s heart. Make her his?Over her dead body. “I’m going to put my seed inside of you and make you even more beautiful than you looked when he met you. I’m going to parade you with my baby in your tommy all over his face but I’m never going to love
More days continued to pass and Kelsey couldn’t even keep track of when it was day or night, the cell was continuously dark and the silver cage was even worse. She had never been in such a small space for such a long period of time. Every part of her body ached and she wasn’t getting enough food. Simon only remembered to feed her at nightand on rare occasions he brought leftover pizza in the morning.She had no idea where she was, if she was still in the same city as Denis or even the same country and sometimes it felt like she was in an entirely different world.Her babies were kicking in her stomach uncomfortably. Everyday she prayed that she didn’t have to give birth to them in a silver cage. She talked to them when she was bored and sad and she was so sure that they listenedbecause they kicked her stomach in response. She told them stories like Denis used to every night even when she herself was asleep, she begged them to stay healthy and be patient for her to escape from the
