The door opens with the loudest and most unbearable creaking sound ever. Standing before me, is about a hundred more beings with the same dress code and physic as the creature holding on to me. Thank God I didn't try to escape. I thought there could be dozens!?.. There are hundreds!
The creature reduces its tight grip on my arm and carefully ushers me into this coven.. Hall... You get the point~ right?.
Goosebumps cover my entire body. Something seems off and this is the worst feeling I have felt in a long time. The last time I felt like this was when I was left in an elevator by my mother. It was an accident and I was just eight years old when that happened. But now, this is more intense and worse.
I climb up on the... Podium? And stand before the other creatures. I don't make a move from where the creature left me and I watch in silence as it walks towards its fellow... Creatures.
I look to my right and the sight nearly gives me a heart attack. I practically feel my lungs cling to each other. It takes alot for me not to gasp. There are over a hundred... Oh who am I kidding!?.. There are definitely above five hundred children before me . Some my age, some younger and some older.
I thought I looked like a street kid!? They look worst!. They look like HIV malnourished patients. Am I going to join them!?. Oh God, this definitely turning out to be 'Mommy's house'. Harry couldn't have pulled this off, could he?.. Where would he get the money!?..
My heart begins to pound as this people bore holes into my skin with there eyes. Looking so intensely one would feel they could see through me.
A figure emerges from the midst of the creatures. Walking gracefully towards me. It wasn't till it got close enough that I realized it is a woman.
A creepy woman. Her face as white and plain as snow, her lips red as blood she also has a hood on. Covering every part of her head and body but her hands and face. But the most alarming are her eyes. They are somehow as red as blood but you still see red flames in them. Looking at her, I picture the cartoon snow white wearing red riding hoods hood. Bit this time, black and really long. The imagine her eyes as red and intense as you can.
"Welcome" she says smiling. Her voice having a strong filling of dominion in it. Her voice calm, soothing but yet unsettling at the same time.
I don't know how to respond so I just stand there with an expression less face.
"Welcome my darling daughter" she says again, smiling and coming close to me.
'My darling daughter!? ' this is definitely turning into the story 'mommys house' did I get jinxed by reading the book!?... No, no, no.. I can't survive what Bella did. I would die in a day. Hell no!. God what's happening??.
She suddenly embraces me and the odor she is emitting actually causes my eyes to sting. So much so, they begin to water. It smells like a coat that is damp and not properly dried, then add the smell of blood to that, then add that of sweat, and then rain, and then dust, and leaves and a whole bunch of other stuff. Believe when I say she smells worst than a dead rat. Doesn't she know what perfumes and rollon's are!?
I suddenly hear something. The same sound you hear in Chinese movies when a sword is being drawn. And within the twinkle of an eye, a fist full of my brown hair is with her!.. She cut my hair to shoulder length!!!.... How dare she! It took five whole months to grow that. Five relentless months of conditioning and taming!.
Anger pumps through my system and i charge towards her. Immediately I do so, I hear the kids gasp and the creatures all come at me at once!.. They stop in a sync when she raises her hand. She signals them to return to their position and they do just that.
"How dare you do that!? " I scream at her. My thin finger pointing at her.
"My dear Sonia, you have always been a feisty one. That's one of the reasons I like you. " she replies smirking.
"But you need to calm down now. This is my mansion. And here is nothing like the outside world" she replies looking me In the eye with a face void of emotions.
Suddenly, she takes hold of my arm which was pointing at her and she places hot metal on it. The same metal that had been in the fire on the table all along. I scream the loudest I probably ever have In my whole life as I feel the pain shoot through my entire body. I watch with tears in my eyes, my skin cling to the metal as she pulls it off. Leaving a mark like that of the letter eight lying down on my arm.
"That's your identity dear, never forget that" she states pointing at the bleeding mark.
Angry flows through me so much so I affects my sight. With wild, mad steps I fling my self at her throwing the bowl of hot coal on her body. The coal burns the coat but seems to have no effect on her. She looks at me with anger and suddenly a smirk creeps unto her face.
"I love your bravery dear daughter. One of the things that attracted me to you " she says as she waves her hand over her coat. Instantly mending the holes the coals caused on it.
"But that's no way to treat your mother! " she screams as she raises her hand in my direction. Instantly, I begin to fell the walls of my throat closing. Making it hard for me to breathe. Wild vibration takes over my body as it feels as though my lungs are about to explode. It feels as though my brain is about to erupt. My sight and hearing becomes faints as blood begins to escape my nose and mouth.
"Stop!! " I hear a male voice call and instantly, my body system returns to normal. I lay on the floor. Tears escaping my eyes as I mercilessly gasp for air.
"Why my prince, you look rather rattled. It's been long you saw someone die. Come forward" she says lovingly but yet in a creepy manner looking towards the crowd.The children here are really accustomed to silence as all I hear are my gasps, coughs and the footsteps of the person she called."Rise" she says to me.I want to rise but i still can't get my system and secondly, she can't boss me around. She should just kill me instead."I said rise! " she screams and I feel a tingle in my throat. For fear of repition of the earlier occurrence, I place my palms on the ground and try to push myself up but I slam back into the ground as my entire body is still shaken."Help her up!" She orders. And instantly, two creatures appear besides me. They pull me to my feet's and hold me up.I fix my gaze on my dirty and bare feets. Blisters and bruises allover them. How am I not f
Panic had already began to build in my system and my forehead head had began to produce sweat at an unbelievable rate. I felt as though I would pee on myself."Who's there!? " I ask again in fear, but my question is replied by a screeching sound.. All of a sudden, a rat dashes towards me causing me to scream. The only thing on my mind is how to get to the bed.I make my way towards the bed screaming, jumping, crying and swinging my arms in all directions as I hop from leg to leg. I jump on the bed sitting on my legs as i watch the rat run about the partially dark room.I finally adjust to a better position when my calves begin to hurt from me sitting on them. I draw my knees to my chest and use my hands to strap them put.I begin to wonder what is going on. Where am I?, how did I get here?, do my parent's have any idea where I am or last was?, am I going to die here?, what happened to that li
The creature pulls on my arm and I resist the pull. Although there is no more space between us, it moves closer to me as though daring me.An action which most definitely irritates me and puts the will to stand up for myself in me.It pulls again and I stand up and push it away aggressively. The feel of touching it is inexplicable. It was as though my palms came in contact with rid cages that layed directly beneath the dark hood.What was more alarming was it's reaction. It didn't stager as expected but rather slid across the room till it got to the door. The movement was so smooth you'd think it slid on ice.I scream as it jumps from across the room growling and lands right before me. One hand on my neck and the other hand raised with nails which seem to have grown longer, ready to claw my face.I close my eyes as I anticipate the antagonizi
I quickly wipe off the tears that are forming in my eyes before they fall. My mouth drops open at the sight before me.There are a over a hundred bathtubs in here. But that's not it, these tubs are meant to be white, but they are all brown and clearly dirty. The color of the water is another story. And let's not even talk about the tuns of naked girls taking their baths in this filthy things!!. The question is; are they actually getting clean or dirtier!?.I keep starring at all the girls. Different shapes, heights and color. How did they end up here?. Were they all abducted like me? Don't they wanna go home? And are they honestly comfortable getting into such polluted water!??."I also was a spoilt brat when I first got here. Didn't take a bath for the first three days. Till my pits became fragrance factories, and I had to decide which I liked better between eye stinging, cringe worthy or nose bleeding
I keep my gaze fixed on this creature for fear of my life. I look up and I see the creature looking straight ahead. I want to turn to see who the creature is starring at but fear has other plans so I don't move a muscle.The creature suddenly let's go of my hair and stands up growling. It then begins to walk away ~ I really have made alot of creature enemies between last night and this morning.I get up and use my palms to brush off bust from my body. I look behind me to see who saved my life or at least even say thank you. But all I see is almost everyone's heads starring towards the bottom of the stairs.Whoever it was had apperantly began to walk down the stairs and the look of admiration seemed to be plastered on everyone's face. I can't see through the crowd so I have no idea who it was. But the British accent makes me think it's gaze boy (the white witches 'most important child') ~i gave him the na
I spend the rest of my time reminiscing over Desmonds words and all I have just learnt. The white witches name is 'Madre' ~ sounds like mother.. Yuck!. The creatures are called 'fratellos' ~ what an odd name. And did Desmond just insinuate the possibility of my death at the hand of these monsters!? ~of course he did. Who knows what to expect from this nut hole anyways!?I don't like it here one bit. I wonder what my parents must be going through. They must be out of their minds searching for me. Harry clearly isn't behind this. And somehow I wish he was. Then I'd know getting out would be alot easier.And ugh! How did I not think of this!?. My driver. Poor Mr. Simon must be in alot of trouble. They might be thinking he kidnapped me! Oh dear LORD, help that poor man out of any trouble he may be in.I look down at my hands and I sight that hidious scar. The one Madre inflicted on me. I forgot to ask Desmond what it s
I turn around and find a Fartello standing behind me. It looks into my full bowl and then back at me. I look away from it as I don't like this creatures and want no form of direct contact or interaction with any of them.It suddenly takes hold of my bowl and tilts it into Gabbys bowl. A little but odd starring contest is held between them for a few seconds and then it walks away. I notice Gabby tensen in her seat and then she begings to discharge the aura of discomfort.I begin to fundle with my hands under the table. I keep looking around at people who are busy eating in silence and some who are done with their.. Food.~honestly, how are they consuming this!?I keep looking around till my gaze again falls on Desmond who is apperantly done with his meal and was resting majestically in his seat his metal dancing between his fingers. His gaze is glued to me. Goodness knows for how long he had been starring. He doesn't seem to car
I try to rise up with my blurred vision but i fall back to the ground. My whole head feels as though its been put in an oven. My hearing also drops.I look up and find the fartello standing above me growling deeply and loudly. It stands looking at me for a few seconds before it fly's away.Gabby and Tori rush to me "are you alright? " Gabby asks as they pull me to my feets. My head begins to spin and I crash back to the ground.They try to help me up again when suddenly Gabby let's go of my arm in what seems to be fear but Tori keeps her grip firm on my arm. I look up to where their eyes are glued and i find Desmond marching swiftly towards us.He takes hold of my arm and begins to pull. Tori dosen't let go of my arm till Gabby moves close to her and whispers something to her. Only then does she reluctantly let me go.Desmond keeps dragging me through the room on

It's been a year since Desmond left. I'm staring out the plane's window listening to Trust In You by Lauren Daigle. After all, life has put me through, what else can I do than trust in God.It's been a year but my heart has never grown to love Desmond less. In fact, his departure had only made me realize how less meaning my life has without him.I'm on my way to London. I finally got admission into Imperial College. I wanted to attend a small school back home but trust my father to want big.I don't think staying around more English people would do me good as each one would remind me of how my Desmond is the very best.My dad just had to go choose the 5th best university in the United Kingdoms. He says he wants me out of Canada to help me forget the mansion but that place has been sculpted so deeply into me that not even a memory loss would wipe it off.&nbs
"But he asked me to give you this. "The doctor adds holding out a folded paper to me.I collect the paper with tears in my eyes and he gives me a comforting smile before walking away.I stare at my wristwatch and it reads 11:00 am.I missed him. My last chance of seeing him and I missed it.My phone containing all his details totally crashed and not backed up! Why Sonia, why?He... Desmond is gone. Gone to his home town and I'm here in Ontario Canada Left with only hopes to see him again someday!.I open the paper and it reads;*Hey, sorry about my wobbly writing.

Love is all they fell for each other and;Finally, the day came.One Month After;Sonias POV;I rush out of my house as usual. It's become a habit to rush out of my house whenever I'm on my way to the hospital to visit Desmond.
Wow!I'm so sure a lot of you hate me by now cause of what happened to our Gabby, Ekene, and Tori.And I'm sure when Desmond died you hated me even more but I hope we're all good now😅.I could never kill my Desmond. Hell no😅🙈We're nearing the end of this beautiful book💃💃💋____/|\_____/|\_____/|\_____/|\____With bandage wrapped around her head, plasters on some parts of her face, and her right feet wrapped in a bandage as she'd hurt her ankle but didn't notice. Sonia is still seen smiling.It's been a week after they'd escaped the woods and Desmond is still in bed. The Smith and Daniel families have become close. Even Tori's grandmom had grown a bond with the families during the week.Sonia and Desmond are alone in the hospital room. The sun ray beautifying the room.
Authors Narrative;Jason thinks Sonia had spent too long in the I.C.U and decides it's time to see what's going on and who this 'him' is.He opens the door just in time to see Sonia raising a pair of scissors in the air ready to stab herself."Sonia! "He screams before running into the room and wraps his arms around his little sister to hinder her movements.His scream and reaction draws everyone into the room.Dana, Timothy, Tori's grandmom, the rest of Sonia's family, and Mrs. Daniel who's just found out it's her long-lost son who's laying 'dead' in the I.C.U."Sonia what's wrong with you!?" Jason screams as he struggles to keep Sonia in place."Desmond! "Mrs. Daniel cries as she spots her son on the bed."Leave me! He can't die! If he doesn't come to me, I'd go to him
I freeze as I stare at the doctor. Is there another language where that means 'he's fine?"W.. What? What do you mean couldn't save him!? "I scream."I'm sorry dear. Too many internal injuries. He lost a lot of blood and some serious damage was caused to some of his organs due to the punctures. " the doctor states.I watch nurses begin to exit the room and I stand facing the door. I suddenly begin to hear the voices that makeup silence as I walk into the room.I suddenly understand how light could transfigure into darkness in just a blink of an eye.I suddenly understand how one second is enough to destroy years of hard work.I suddenly understand that death has always been lurking in the shadows. Awaiting the perfect time to steal life.I suddenly understand the fact that life is not defined by t
I turn around in shock only to find a young man running towards me. I stare at the man a little closer and my jaw drops. Jason!"Sonia! "He screams picking me up in his arms."J.. Jason? "I question in disbelief."It... It really is you. " I state. Tracing about his face with my fingers. He's grown a beard."You've grown a beard. "I note."And a mustache seems to be coming along. "He adds with a bitter chuckle before pulling into another hug.We remain wrapped in this hug when I hear my name again."Sonia! "I look up and find Oscar. My second eldest brother walking slowly towards us like he's seen a ghost.Jason steps aside."Sonia! "He screams hugging me and I struggle to breathe."Y.. you you'r
I stand in panic and run a few steps towards the city noise. Maybe I can get some help, but on second thought, there's no way I'm doing that. What... What if something happens to Desmond.What if... What if Mader comes back? I run back to Desmond."Desmond? Come on open your eyes. "I beg with tears as I tap his face gently.He doesn't respond and I notice he isn't breathing."D... Desmond? "I call in fear.I feel about his neck with my fingers. Not knowing exactly how to but hoping to somehow find a pulse."Desmond! "I scream when he doesn't reply."Please Desmond open your eyes! "I scream in fear. He can't leave me. Not now, not ever, I can't be this close to a better life hopefully with him and then he'd leave me. He's been my strength for the past three years. It can't all go to waste!
